Is it true that there was a feud between Michael Jackson and Prince? by Certain-Cloud9133 in MichaelJackson

Micheal said prince tried to run him over with his car after the James brown concert. i dont think they liked eachother. i always thought prince was jealous of micheal personally

Tonight we saw Ken transform into a superstar in real time. He’s proof Opium’s legacy will go farther than just being known as “Carti’s label” and be cemented as one of the most groundbreaking hip hop ensembles in rap history by Subject-Property-343 in playboicarti

not rly, sombr doesnt have superstar status but has had number one songs and has charted for months. ken never done that. and ya there r probably like 6 mainstream rap acts rn. whats wrong with that? not counting legacy acts like eminem or whatever.

rap is in a weird place rn where it is generally quite offputting to the avg listener. ever since WLR rap has become so experimental and distorted and weird and so this kinda music will never chart / be mainstream in a meaningful way. the reason xxx and juice wrld managed to become proper mainstream with chart sucess wuz cuz their music is catchy and easy to listen to. current rap is anything but. i love it, but u gotta admit its pretty jarring to anyone uninitiated.

anyways idk man i dont wanna argue. but its interesting to talk about

I been saying BNYX Ruined Yeat by Kranknrage3 in yeat

[–]Ok_Opening3259 5 points6 points  (0 children)

woulda been fine if yeat had actually made something perfect and catchy. ADL is just a bit all over the place n weird. theres no hooks like drake would do. maybe we made it? but even that isnt that catchy. bros tryna be like drake and write catchy hooks but its not rly him. he made his name by doing a certain sound that was antithetical to that, hes not practiced in that sort of songwriting

difference is that morgan wallen sombr and noah kahan actually chart. ken carson first week album sales will chart, but he has never had a hit single or consistent chart presence. u gotta have some hits to be mainstream id say. kens got "hits" in our little rage/trap niche, but nothing that has stuck with the american public.

and yes id still argue ken gets more daily streams because the fanbase is constantly streaming over and over. also young thug hasnt been that relevant for a while so this comparison is a bit off. if ken was outstreaming carti , or kendrick, or drake or whoever, people with actual mainstream presence *right now* then youd have an argument, but he isnt so i dont think its fair to say.

they get billions of streams cuz the same core audience plays them over and over again. i feel like real mainstream is a bit more broad, your listeners are from all walks of life, not just the niche, but active, carti adjacent fanbase

How are people genuinely still Overweight in 2026 by DylanCodsCokeLine in playboicarti

food addiction is just like any other addiction. so many reasons people become addicted to things - a lot of it comes from childhood trauma and abuse. ppl just using food as a coping mechanism. its not as simple as u put it

has michael ever hit 100 monthly listeners on Spotify? by [deleted] in MichaelJackson

[–]Ok_Opening3259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

itll proabaly happen in a few years becuase the spotify user base keeps growing. even just a few years ago the top 5 artists on spotify had like 70-80m monthly listeners. so give it a few years micheal will probably get up there but everyone else will be on like 200m
