    I don’t think he is. He scored a lot of good hits on tv shows (arcane) and moves n shit

    That alone will always pay WAY more than music releases.

    Sales is always going to appeal to pop music crowd, real success is getting mad deals

      good points!

      I mean its not like I want JID to become some super pop artist, but just kinda sucks when attention doesn’t always equal talent/ability in the music industry. There are non hip-hop artists that I think are great, but no one has ever heard of them either.

      staying somewhat under the ‘raydar’ is probably a good thing overall for an artist to maintain their own vision, etc.
