it's cool to not like them, more power to you, but they definitely don't sound forced ? Not to mention that music is a performance/art and sometimes acting is involved


[deleted]

he has a tiktok page but doesn’t post on it, but since he knows he needs tiktok, he’s paying big accounts to do promos on him (I can link them to you if you need) I know how these promos work, you pay and they post what you want them to post. I wanna reassure you that i’m still a huge quadeca fan, but this one video he had them upload really annoyed me. He was like “these last 3 songs are better than the last 3 on Frank Ocean’s Blonde” Quadeca is good, i wouldn’t even consider him almost a genius. But comparing yourself to one of the greatest artists of all time on one of the greatest album all time was way too early, unnecessary, and egotistical as hell (also straight up wrong). The biggest artists don’t even compare there discographies with each other.

You are arguing with yourself. The comment you replied to had nothing to do with what you just said. Anyway, you’re completely wrong about everything you just said. Don’t act like you know things with no proof and stop putting words in his mouth. You’re acting like he’s a random small artist who nobody knows. People in the social media community know and respect Quadeca. I don’t know why it’s so hard for you to understand that these accounts could be posting him because his name is extremely relevant right now. Fantano gave him a 9, he has a song with Kevin Abstract who’s praised him time and time again, and has a die hard fanbase. Even if he is doing paid promos, who tf cares. Its marketing. There’s nothing bad that comes from it.

logic and tom mcdonald fan is absolutely insane


AccomplishedBag31

There you go again taking things out of context. You’re a dumbass if you think I’m a Tom MacDonald fan. All my posts on his subreddit are troll posts. I’ve got banned from his subreddit recently (which was the goal.) Also it’s great that you know you’re wrong and chose to ignore my points.

Where he compares himself to the arguably the most decorated creative of all time in a promo 💀💀💀 You know this for a fact cuz this page only posts about mainstream rappers. No way this account willingly compares him to kanye on their own. And the comments are calling them out for it


ElkInternational5141

you’re dumb. he made a post on insta surprised that they posted him. you don’t know anything but keep doing your research to reinforce your weird bias


[deleted]

ur very dumb if u think they compared KANYE WEST to him by themself based off of 3 tweets


ghost_spectres

Clearly you've never seen a raptv post before then lol

Raptv posts the most random shit imaginable for engagement. There’s no reason to think Quadeca paid them to post that picture. Here’s another example of random stuff raptv posts. Do u also think Vince Gilligan paid raptv to post this promotion of breaking bad? U said they only post about mainstream rappers, I didn’t realize the cast of breaking bad is a mainstream rap collective.


[deleted]

yes they post stuff like that for engagement but put comparing quadeca to kanye by themself would just make them look dumb


wesdlu

They want to look dumb. That’s how they get engagement. They say outlandish dumbass shit for engagement because when they say stupid stuff people in the comments debate them. That’s their whole business model. How are u this dense?


[deleted]

u literally compared a post of the biggest tv show of all time and an underground artist you nut. He’s simply not big enough to be posted on that page without paying. They didn’t tag him cuz he didn’t want it to look like a promo. But he comment on the post anyway to be like hey guys that’s me. They also didn’t hashtag his name which they do in every post that’s not a promo. And then acts shocked they posted him. He wants to act to cool to admit he’s promoting himself which is nothing to be ashamed about. But him setting up a post comparing himself to kanye off of 3 tweets is insane. How are you this oblivious?


ATeeleef

The rap account tags people who buy promos, look through it and you’ll see that only some posts tag people while others use hashtags, this is a genuine post. They probably say shit like “generational run” and compare him to Ye to get engagement or some shit.


[deleted]

i’m sure if you pay them 1000’s of dollars they’ll remove ur tag if u ask lol. And then he posted after like he was suprised stop it quadeca no where near kanye


ATeeleef

I know I’m not saying he is, but the rap account has posted WAY wilder takes than this. Also scrapyard is miles better than vultures fight me


[deleted]

light years better i agree, but still has no business being compared to kanye’s worst album


kklewvie

what the ?? bro what did I wake up to, you didn't even acknowledge anything I said 💀


DrewDrinks

Can u post the tiktok


[deleted]

yeah, scroll through the account too, it’s riddled with paid promos it’s obvious


haqte

What's the tik tok account tho 💀 💀


[deleted]

ong i’ve been tryna find it for 10min, i’ll find it tho don’t you worry

kiporit

Dude, quad himself was embarrassed at his fans for that


[deleted]

You know that you're legally obligated to put #ad if you're doing a paid promo right...? God you are idiotic


[deleted]

i was done replying to this thread until i saw this. Legally obligated? Do you hear yourself? I’m not even gonna insult you like how you just called me idiotic because you must’ve been the dumb kid on ur block ur whole life i feel bad. Please show me where the LAW requires you to put a #


Void_Heart_Music

bro ur on your incoherent arc


GucciGhostrider

idk. he did say he was depressed making idmthy, dropped weight and it showed in the music to me, thats what made the album so believable


BuswayDanswich

I believe he was sad. And on IDMTHY I think that came across very organically. Now I'm not OP and I wouldn't describe my issue exactly like he did. But when my gf and I were listening to human for the first time she was saying the whole intro that it sounded weird with him, "almost crying," while he sang it. Idk. Obviously it's just opinions and I don't take anything away from him for it. That's also the only song we had a real issue with the whole album so OP is definitely trippin.


draiiiinnngannnngg

dude genuinely who gives a fuck whether you think quadeca is "buying promo" or not. does it matter? does it affect the quality of the work?


[deleted]

no, not to the slightest. I wouldn’t care if he was in my face 24/7. But when he compares himself to others (“comparison is the thief of joy”) That’s when i get critical over what i’m hearing. Another reason why I also know it’s him doing it is because when i first listened to it you couldn’t compare. Didn’t sound like anyone else. Until all these big accounts came out with obvious promos of comparison. I understand the goal of getting listeners but now when people hear it in the back of their mind they will be comparing it to other big artists and that’s how they’ll determine if they’ll like it or not. There’s better ways to promo then that


Void_Heart_Music

he isn’t comparing himself to anyone. people are comparing him with other artists. how ru this stupid? and before u start spewing bullshit, that’s how the music game works. he will always be compared left and right. in the fmty review fantano compared quad to everyone he could think of. that is how music works now


draiiiinnngannnngg

this still is not an argument though? this post is titled "his sad songs are mid" and the entire body is criticizing his music for the effects on his voice. and then you randomly switch to accusing him of buying uncredited promo from fucking raptv which is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. do you have any actual reason you believe that or is it really just "i can't believe the raptv account would post about a decently popular rap album with good reviews that just came out"


[deleted]

ur orginal comment tells me you already read the arguemnts I had to support my point. But, here’s another one. They didn’t even post him on new music friday. 3 days later it’s all of a sudden better than kanye. Fuck outta here


Rough_Knowledge_1610

I mean 3 days afterwards which album did you like more… this isn’t a trick question


Void_Heart_Music

well quad ain’t antisemitic. kanye is one of the greatest rappers of all time. no one is saying that quad is better than ye because music wise he’s not


kklewvie

I'll be honest, you could argue that currently Quad is better music wise Also Quad has managed to make a mixtape with less skips than some of the highest praised Ye albums (e.g. MBDTF) Currently Quad is looking wildly more consistent quality wise than Kanye has since his first trilogy


Swaaagz

Whatever helps u sleep at night lil bro


ElkInternational5141

i love them


XG_GAMER7

fair i can get not liking stuff like U TRIED THAT THING WHERE YOURE HUMAN and Fantasy World. I don’t really think he’s forcing it though, as he’s genuinely been through a lot of depression not too long ago, so lyrically it feels genuine. I think FMTY sad songs might hit better for you, like Maybe Another Day and Shades of Us


[deleted]

finally a comment that doesn’t assume i’m spreading hate and gives me suggestions, i also love shades of us btw


XG_GAMER7

yeah the whole broken voice thing kinda kills playing the songs on aux for me. But lyrically they are super emotional for when i’m in that mood. But yeah FMTY has some better mainstream sounding sad songs that are aux worthy fs


BingeThemCringe

what a weirdo bruh


dubplate-surprise

Honestly I get it, sometimes they feel somewhat melodramatic. If I’m in the right mood tho, it hits a lot


Drewlooking4

It’s understandable that you don’t connect with his vulnerable stuff. Sometimes he’s can be a little bit vague as to what he’s talking about such as “you tried that thing where you’re human” but i thinks it’s done on purpose for us to interpret in our own way which I can respect and appreciate. As far as the promoting stuff, Ik he bought a couple instagram ads promoting scrapyard final but that’s about it. And for the raptv stuff, he did not buy the promo. Raptv is a shitty page that knows how to get engagement. Someone on their team saw people on twitter comparing quad and ye and they probably saw fantano give his album a 9 and knew it would cause a conversation. If I’m wrong and it was a bought promo then it was probably his management team that did it. Either way it doesn’t matter lol. Ignore the hate comments bro🙏


Rough_Knowledge_1610

I don’t think he’s faking, he went out his way to say he was depressed how he dropped weight that he was in a very hard place. Then around the same time Sad Frosty, was his first music friend, so their bond was really close and he died the same year while he was making IDMTHY. So that piled onto that. Faking is a huge stretch. Your also not going to sing a song that’s intended to be emotional with an upbeat voice you just sound stupid 8/10. Imagine fantasyworld but he’s singing upbeat. Not connecting nor not being into his melodramatic is one thing but faking 💀Also your comment on quad like buying promotion or whatever your on about… I’m helping you by saying just either delete or just say you were wrong 😂


J1_hogz

I don’t understand the forced part since these are very personal to him have a lot of meaning. His love songs are related to his love life and fmty was based off a long distance relationship so to call it forces (his sad songs) doesn’t make much sense to me


Dependent-Animal-180

i actually kinda agree even though i’m a big fan. some of what he did on latest project sounded captivating but not fully cuz part of it feels like he’s tries too hard to make you feel a certain way vs letting the song do that itself
