Are r/hiphopheads' favorite rappers/artists also popular on Instagram/in real life? I compared each rapper's IG followers count & the size of their subreddits and plotted out the results

Posted: 18 Jan 2021 07:34 AM PST

Here is the list of rappers/artists I gathered the data for:

And here is the final result plotted out:

As shown in the graph, there isn't really a particularly strong correlation between the size of the subreddit vs. the artist's popularity on social media. As a matter of fact one could even go so far as to say there's a negative correlation between the two. E.g. r/kanye has more than 443k members, making it the biggest subreddit for a rapper, but Kanye himself only has around 4.6 mil followers on Instagram; on the other hand, while Drake's subreddit r/Drizzy isn't particularly big (at 56k subscribers), Drake himself has more than 74 million IG followers. Excluding the two rather extreme cases, there isn't really any noticeable correlation between the two metrics. Here's the plot without Kanye and Drake:

[DISCUSSION] 070 Shake - Modus Vivendi (One Year Later)

Posted: 18 Jan 2021 07:58 AM PST

Modus Vivendi (a Latin phrase for "way of life") is the debut studio album by American hip hop artist 070 Shake. It was released by GOOD Music and Def Jam on January 17, 2020. It was promoted by the singles "Morrow", "Nice to Have", "Under the Moon" and "Guilty Conscience", and features production from Mike Dean and indie rock musician Dave Hamelin (of the Stills), among others.

Who is 070 Shake?

Prior to her music career, Shake wrote poetry. Shake began her music career in late 2015, recording the songs "Proud" and "Swervin". Shake's stage name is derived from her affiliation with the 070 music collective; 070 coming from New Jersey's 070 ZIP Codes. By 2018, the 070 crew was noted to have 11 members including artists and producers.

By 2016, Shake was earning hundreds of thousands of streams on SoundCloud. Soon after posting several songs on SoundCloud, Shake attracted the attention of Miami-based promoter and social media personality YesJulz. After hearing "Proud" specifically, YesJulz reached out to Shake on Twitter, quickly signing on to be her manager. Shake broke through with "Trust Nobody", released early in that year. In August, Shake collaborated with fellow 070 members Ralphy River, Hack, and Tree on the single "Honey". The song featured production from frequent collaborators The Kompetition, a three-person production group. "Honey" simultaneously premiered on Complex and 1 AM Radio on Dash. Vibe commented that the track "[sounded] tailor made to rock on dance floors everywhere."

Background and recording

In 2018, Shake released her debut EP Glitter. In 2018, the New Jersey artist contributed vocals to Kanye West's ye, Pusha-T's Daytona, and Teyana Taylor's K.T.S.E.. In 2019, she contributed to West's Jesus Is King, though her vocals are not present on the final album.

Shake announced her debut album June 24, 2019. The press release stated that Modus Vivendi is "coming soon" on GOOD Music/Def Jam, and that it would feature the previously released singles "Morrow" and "Nice to Have". Shake also announced a new tour behind the new record.

In an interview with Billboard, she stated that she retreated to a Los Angeles studio and recorded a hundred songs in just over a month with producers Dave Hamelin and Mike Dean.

The cover art was created by Sam Spratt, a New York-based illustrator.
