this sounds like it was written by chat gpt and edited by someone who has never listened to a bladee project all the way through… avp not even mentioned

Also, Bladee and Yung Lean would meet bc Bladee's brother was friends with Lean

Bladee sits in a very comfortable position as an independent artist. There’s this hard to achieve level in the industry where you can get publishing/licensing deals while never needing to sign over your entire discography or sign entirely as an artist. The reason its so hard to do this is because you need to prove to majors that you can consistently drop projects that will always do streams, and keep a cult fan base. And because he always continues to prove that, he’ll always retain his creative control. You’ll never see anyone from Drain/SB ever give up creative control and thats whats so special about them. They sign over their projects, but not their careers. One of the smartest ways to move as an independent and all of them have been using the same strategy for ~5 years. Basically, make a project, have your management pass around the project in the industry for you, sign over the licensing, make racks, and best of all RETAIN CREATIVE CONTROL 💯

before drain there was gravity boys. bladee always been around just not as big as he is today sad boys and gravity boys hung out a lot back then u can even catch bladee in a lot of the earlier lean interviews and vlogs. not a fan as i used to be but he def deserves the recognition lot of yall just think bro came up out of nowhere.

Bladee is spiritually fit and spreads positivity through his music!! I am grateful for drain gang. Note how the artists mentioned do the exact opposite and rarely ever mention God and the positive aspects of the human spirit. the reason bladee is so popular is the same reason the mainstream doesn't push his music the way they do other artists... its because bladee gives his listeners hope in a power greater than themselves!!

crazy that d&g wasnt mentioned 😭😭😭😭😭

gluee is one of his best projects unreal and spellbound are on another level

This video is more summarising his discography and bio than it is talking about industry politics. Maybe re-name the video short essay/analysis or something. Kinda just read out loud what a google search could tell you.

3:02 bladee using his voice as an instrument is a perfect way to say it and why i love bladee, some of my fave bladee songs idek the lyrics to because hes an instrument not just a singer

What does this have to do with a contract with Sony Music which is in the thumbnail and didn't mention why the industry hates him which is the title of the video.

Okay, but why the Music Industry HATES Bladee?

I saw a few days ago when Spotify Rewind dropped that Bladee is the #1 most listened artist by Spotify for Artists users (ahead of JPEGMAFIA, Alchemist, Ken Carson & Destroy Lonely) The industry might hate him but the influence he has on other artists is undeniable

i thought i knew all the blade lore but i never knew he worked at a daycare

always heard about bladee and drain gang on twitter but never dived into theit catalog, this video made it interesting now

Very nice The Fool is also one of my favorite. First time I heard of GANT, surprised 😊 good video

Been a drainer/ sad boy from the jump, watching them grow has been amazing!

Smile by bladee is exactly why he isnt mainstream he says exactly how he feels. He is just himself :D

no rainworld mention😠😠

amazing vid, didnt get bored one bit

Went by many names shield gang, gravity boys, drain gang

any one correct me if I'm wrong but I think Bladee would work with WOD through the colabs and relationship him and Yung Lean built with Black kray and kane grocerys who offten worked with filthy & WOD.

this actually an amazing video i didn’t expect it to be this informational at all. Bro jumped right into it too no bullshit

dope vid, id like to mention Ripsquadds ties in Bladees albums like icedancer and the fool 🙏🧊

Other than skrillex bladee got music with charli xcx

Really great video bro i hope you keep making more of these i love any drain related research and lore etc. (gattsu blew tf up from it saw it 1st hand good formula atm) in no way telling you how to run your channel paha i mean just there seems to be a gap in the market as a youtube cripple by that i just watch music bc im a physical crip-ple big up fellow brit!, deffo worth the sub if you continue your whole lotta drain shit man

U need to do ecco n thaiboi, just the facts are really hard to find especially if you're aiming for originality and not jus regurgitated facts so many other youtubers mimic from eachother. Watched tons of drain content this actually captivated me in a while. im high as shit sorry

i actually heard bladee play on the radio one time. i was at a blood donation center when i was flat broke and lost my job and they were playing some generic music station that starting playing the song w Skrillex. it was honestly so trippy hearing them play that while getting my blood drained.

Teezo is kind of perfect to put on for a verse and his random background noises. Also he has said that he's incapable of saying no to people and that's part of why he's featured so often

He was in the fortnite radio once

I love Bladee🥰

Great video. Showing love for drain gang ❤

I'm a 29 yr tradesman from Australia and i listen to bladee, for his creative work and his bubbly sound

bruh skanstull isn’t sketchy in the slightest it’s damn near the heart of Stockholm

imagine being a kid at drain day care

They can't stand me. I'm not standing.

good vid bro

why does the background music go so hard oh my god

are you on aoty? id love to check out your reviews

what songs did u use on this vid?

Very good video, well researched and presented with passion. I'll just give a few minor constructive nitpicks: 1) I would have liked if you gave context to the streaming numbers of the projects you mentioned, for instance when you said "Gluee" performed "great" and racked up over a million stream on every song on Spotify, I don't know if I would necessarily agree with saying it "performed great", when it took damn near a decade for the project to rack up those numbers. When "Gluee" came out literally nobody knew about it, it was super niche. Or when you say that "Working on Dying performed great, and every song racked up over three millions streams", it makes it sound like all of those stream came in relatively quickly after release, maybe in a 3-6 month period, when really it took 6 years. 2) Similar to the first point, you said Red Light "racked up streams" and that 2018 was just more linear rising for Bladee, when it really wasn't. Red Light got a pretty mixed reception, and some very negative reviews, notoriously theneedledrop gave it a 1/10 rating, with a scathing review. After dropping Red Light, Bladee hinted at quitting music, he tweeted a couple months after the release of the album something along the lines of "Boys, it has been a good ride, but this is the end of the road for me". (Some people took this as him hinting he would kill himself lol). 3) He was featured on another Skrillex song, "Ceremony", with Yung Lean 4) Again the number comparisons are kind of disingenuous, Teezo's album came out three months ago and it's already pushing a million streams on most songs, whereas most of Bladee's albums absolutely did not reach those kinds of numbers in the same timeframe, especially the older projects. Bladee has reached that level now though. Bladee is awesome and your video was good, keep it up.

love bladee

got to commend the ad placement, right before the beans are spilled

anyone know the song at 4:22 ?

7:44 lmfaoo that lean interview

u forgot to mention the hannah diamond x bladee song. good vid tho

if yall havent heard his single "wallet wont fold" ur missing tf out

"just him and his Swedish friends" Not true

“Zack” riiight

The more you listen to his music the more you like it. I love the autotune but I have to admit, there are some songs I can't really get into. Some of my favourites are: - I'm goofy - Hex (flip version) - Merry Go Round (MH Edit on Soundcloud) - Western Union - No life left (nightcore version) - 5 Star Crest (first part) - Nothingg

it seems like he just doesnt want to be mainstream, he doesnt care about promotion and getting his name out there, bladee is a big name in the underground who has inspired many waves of artists in many different genres, he doesnt need to seek promotion at this point when he is one of the pioneers of modern cloud rap

What's the song on 0:30 to 0:38 sorry im a poser😅😅 :3

1:27 this just isn't correct. He worked at a dog boarding service.

the comparison to teezo and Trippie makes no sense. your comparing teezo and trippie songs that dropped 1 year ago and have about 1 mil streams to bladee songs that dropped several years ago that have 2 or 3 mil. the teezo and trippie songs are doing way better in popularity. not hating on any of them i like all 3 artists. but the comparison is just wrong

need the beat at @5:00 pls!!

Bro didn’t explain why the music industry hates bladee lmao

nobody hates bladee, he's the real god the real goat the real Jesus, he came to earth to teach to bring knowledge, HOW CAN ANYONE HATE THIS ANGEL???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????W

Nobody hates bladee. They just haven’t ascended yet.

not why? WHYY?

THIS IS DEFINETLEY Speedy

Bladee didn’t do anything. They just hate cuz they don’t like the music .

wheres avp rip bladee and d&g

Shout out my brother Bladee man
