Realest rapper in the game?
Plies is helping Warner Music Group stay afloat. If I were running a major label I would look for rappers like Plies. Why?
- Plies has an incredibly loyal core audience. I mean look at me! I’ve been following him since his mixtapes and am now a certified goon fan.
- He makes a personal connection with his fans through in depth interviews on his YouTube channel. Here’s an example.
- Plies doesn’t wait for the major label to promote his project. He grinds on his own. For this album alone he has independently produced 4 straight-to-YouTube music videos. That’s in addition to the videos he has on MTV and BET.
- He doesn’t sound like anyone else on the commercial scene. I mean he pronounces back like bike. It’s the Florida drawl. Right, bruh?
- He’s street and the ladies still love him.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Warner Music Group posted a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss on Thursday, as improved sales in Europe softened the effects of the slowdown in the global music industry.
The world’s third-largest music company’s net loss for the fiscal third quarter ended on June 30 narrowed to $9 million, or 6 cents a share, from $17 million, or 12 cents a share, a year earlier.
Revenue rose 5 percent to $848 million, although factoring out the benefits of the weak dollar, sales declined 1.1 percent.
Wall Street analysts polled by Reuters Estimates had been expecting a loss of 18 cents on revenue of $766.5 million.
U.S. sales declined 6.5 percent but were overshadowed by a 17.2 percent rise in sales in Europe and Canada. On a constant-currency basis international revenue grew 3.6 percent.
Digital revenue rose to $166 million, a rise of 39 percent from a year earlier but flat from the previous quarter.
Major sellers during the quarter included Madonna, Disturbed, Plies and Frank Sinatra.

Hey, Plies is good at what he does, But he’s still commercial. Nothing against him nothing at all. But my question is why doesn’t the Warner Group Take chance’s on Indie Like Sidewinder, Or a Mike Page. At the grass root of there career’s an in that Way they can say hey were behind the scene’s at the start an it’s because of us that there at the hight that there at. Because we took a chance .
Plies started as an indie artist. Every independent artist wants to go major. We live in a capitalist society. Money is God.
I’ve been behind Plies since he was as known as Sidewinder.
