finally a shoutout to nipsey $
nedeska's never heard of ethernet …. she was highly impressed by that one lol #nerdshyt lmao
i was about to say! if yall dont mention tidal yall on some bs right now lol … but it took till the 44 min mark for it to happen so not gonna go in but thought id @least mention it lmao
apples 20% isnt anything compared to the deal artist had with labels prior to these digital platforms … apple give you 80% of the profits … how many artist @ def jam since the beginning can say they were getting 80% off every single song or album sold??????? dont worry ill wait lmao … and any larry moe and jack can get that deal … i can go thru tune core right now as an unknown artist and get that 80/20 deal …. which is great especially when you are comparing to what artist used to get for mechanicals and for radio bds …. streaming truely only looks bad cause its pretty much a free service altho most PAY a monthly fee for it … its sort of like asking to get the lionshare off an bds spin lol !! but all in all bds is limited streaming is global STAY WOKE! lol
Can complex podcast this show?
sometimes I wish we didn't just keep the convo in hiphop because when Joe and Ak were discussing how brave it would be for an artist to not put there music on all streaming platforms ( specifically Apple M and Spotify)….. I instantly thought of LEMONADE by Beyonce….because that record is just on Tidal to stream, on all other platforms you would have to purchase it
You guys need at least one of these weekly from here on out. Some days to sum up topics but keep these in the rotation.
ak better get nedeska pregnant my nigga she got hella jobs
"talk to joey earl kendrick and cole gatekeepers of flow" – q-tip

This man Akademiks said "plugola".
Akademiks has holes in his shirt
One of my favorite Everyday Struggle episodes!!
Ethernet? Hmm!
STFU Slutdeska
More episodes like this please. Talk about deeper more general topics more, the culture needs this
Anyone think nadeska is overrated not saying she ugly but y'all make her seem like Beyoncé
This episode was pretty woke, I lowkey wanna switch to tidal
Guys help Me, what do I do: My wife is mad at me cause am always watching everyday struggle and paying her less attention
I love you guys
Is this a hit?

So I don't even listen or know about the Russ guy that much but watching the episode with Russ then seeing this of Nadeska throwing semi shade at 25:35 shows me she super in media trained and was hating on Russ from the very start.
Russ was dropping some very "key" points in the episode he was in for sure.
Y'all need to let nadeska talking I'm not liking y'all dominating her on camera
DJ DRAMA use to plug meek heavy in his early phases.
Who are the gatekeepers in rap? A bunch of fucking faggots
maybe we need traditional gatekeepers to stop all this trash flooding the industry
ak a gaykeeper
The need to work on letting each other complete a thought–especially Joe. I'm sitting here at 8:57, having skipped Joe's, like, takeover of the floor wondering if Akademiks is going to be able to finish his list of 3 without being digressed by whatever Joe said.
29:52
SHUT THE HELL UP JOE!! DAMN. And Nadeska needs to stop accomodating them so much. If you're establishing the flow and facilitating, then fuckin facilitate. Joe just stops whatever flow of thought anyone else has going when the fuck ever, interjecting dumbass jokes, and that is not cool I'm sitting here tryna get the meat of what each person is stating on a topic, and this dude is doing mini standup and shit.
The GateKeepers are the people…
Djs stopped being the gatekeepers when mixtapes started to take over. It wasn't about a djs playing the new shit but hosting mixtapes. They completely fell off when right before the drake era started
Did they ever cover that boonk guy that steals everything lol?
Joe is 100 percent a taste maker. I bought mad R&B because of him.
That's the thing we got the skill the power the will to do it but we dont have the money or influence unless you use beats with out authorisations or make them your self you can only push so much and create so much I can't really buy the 80 beats I used to make songs I can only buy and lease a few that I believe will reach the furthest but then my opinion only matters so much when fans might love the music I am not able to put out more just saying there are some choices but I can't just f with one producer there's at least 10 producers I really love the production but they can't work for free when you spend on beats mastering advertising crazy
You guys need to promote this new kid…. check em out. I can assure Joe will feel it if no one else on the team does. https://soundcloud.com/user-677665972
