It could’ve been, but I feel as if HE never really cared for the mainstream platform. I think once he made (enough) money, he was cool with “His status.”

Dave east is truly talented love the interview he's so special and humble he put out nothing but hits he's truly special

@zachariasj2120 Ай бұрын

Dave East was correct when he said he doesn’t need to rely on a feature or a collab, as a real fan of his music, I enjoy every song without a feature, replace some of these features with another verse from East & the song would’ve been better imo. Dave East got that crank by himself

I never understood why Dave east never became more mainstream

@newyorktimes21 Ай бұрын

Dave is a follower. He is not a leader at all. His former manager Wayne O stated this numerous times before they went separate ways. Wayne O used to say Dave is always worrying what others are doing.
