    I think that they wait untill there is more information about his new album, and then create a section for it.

    To be fair, we have a Drake section and we don't have much information on his new album.

    Anyone else feel like having a separate Drake section is pretty useless? At least change it to YMCMB or something

    The name 'Drake' is bigger than YMCMB, hence why KanyeToThe don't use it, not everyone cares about compartmental aspects. Just like how Kendrick Lamar is bigger than TDE, to call that section 'TDE' would be an insult to Kendrick's status, vice versa for Drake.

    I don't see why we don't have like assorted labels. Aftermath, TDE, YMCMB, etc. Like we supposed to talk about Lil Wayne in the section labeled Drake? Nahhhh

    Kendrick is bigger than TDE, so yea it would be crazy to downgrade him like that, yes.

    Artist names >>>> label acronyms

    ^ Why would we need 100s, only 2 or 3 get constantly spoken about on here.. to warrant an entire section.

    Too much of a mouth full, but as long as Kendrick's name stands alone it's acceptable.

    Because when an artist relevant enough drops an album, they'll wind up getting a section more than likely.

    The section is for growth purposes, not to address current forum needs.

    And a Kanye section will come closer to the album, it'll stay or go depending on how active it is.

    There should be labels as sxns. Like
    - YMCMB (or Young Money as it will be soon)
    - TDE
    - Shady Records
    - GOOD Music
    - Def Jam
    and have the main artists in there

    Kendrick is bigger than TDE, there is no point calling it TDE, there is one ab-soul/schoolboy/jayrock thread for every 100 for Kendrick. Who is every member on Good music or Def Jam anyway?, I actually don't know all the artists signed to Def Jam, you'd have to google it before making topics.. it would be stupid.

    Have you ever wondered why KanyeToThe never re-named sections as labels, good reason for that.

    Eh, I don't think this is a good idea tbh. There won't be active discussions unless we start spamming threads about previous albums or old news. A Pusha T thread for a new release will suffice, on the other hand Q-Tip hasn't released anything under GOOD for 2-3 years now etc etc. I think that having threads like the "Strange Music" one for the hardcore fans is a better idea, but I haven't seen the need for that yet, personally, and even if we forced it, I don't know how many people would be that interested in this. Label sections won't produce discussion, unless it's about drama or something (which is being covered pretty well in an organised thread or two, like it did with the Wayne-Birdman situation). I think that the plan is to have a Young Thug section soon, and a Kanye one when we get closer to the album.

    There are some TDE threads in the Kendrick section, and they're all quiet now (the rappers and the threads), so yeah, can't do much more than that imo.
