Ebro Darden hopped on social media to deliver a harsh message to rappers and their record labels…stop being boring!
“I got a call saying …. ‘It should be noted many major record labels have deprioritized signing Rappers.’ The focus is now African Music & Latin Music Rappers better stop being boring and talking about the same sh-t over and over, chasing TikTok success and comment sections,” he tweeted.
Fans agreed with the tweet in the comments section.
“maybe it’s time someone else got a moment. We been leading the culture for 30-60 years between Rap & Jazz. Maybe Rappers need time to create something new but can’t do that when the labels & radio are hyper focused pushing only one style. BA’s need time to develop something new,” one follower wrote.
Another added, “waiting on when you and other hiphop media will take responsibility for your role in its decline. Artists are not the only ones at fault. you “gatekeepers” opened the flood gates for social media personalities to pollute it. Artists that tried to speak out got labelled as bitter.”
Is Ebro right?
