Lil Durk “Dis Ain’t What U Want”

Once the dust settled after the great Chicago rap gold rush of 2012, the public patiently waited on the labels to start pushing the artists. Keef got instant burn from Interscope, but it appeared the other labels were dragging their feet, likely unsure what direction to take with the acts.

Well, Def Jam got right down to business, making Durk a priority at the label, and quickly gave his single “Dis Ain’t What U Want” the green light. They opened up his album budget and hung pictures of him around the office — they even began promoting his release as part of their DEFinition of Summer campaign. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, Durk was jailed as soon as the single began to pick up steam. Let’s hope Durk gets out in enough time to properly push the record because it’s a monster.

  3. Actually, the claims WERE founded. The Hype came with Chief Keef’s rise to stardom and died when his album flopped. The artists who got signed (most of whom are GBE) either got shelved by a label or is in jail.

    1. yeah I have to agree somewhat Lil Reese is definitely never comen out on def jam his mixtape last year was a classic but everything after has been terrible im mean terrible like he forgot how ta rap…..same wit SD he fell off quik ….Fredo a cool nigga but we know dat boy hot garbage on the bar and flow side….Chief Keef I fux wit still love macaroni time and its over but all that auto tune shit and that shit wit Zay garbage hope he doesn’t continue to go in that direction #fail if he does he still winning for now but I gotta bad feeln …….YP was nice somewhat overhyped and has been…..well just been since he got deal…..Rockie Fresh may have the best situation but I doubt he blow jus more of a Stalley type roll on MMG (hey better than Pill)……WTF happened to mic terror treated crew, Sly Polaroid, Butta Da Prince, Broadway, Caliko, Lungz, Marvo(song wit future bangin but only played by Pharris #fukchicago radio , Mikkey Halsted , Boy Illinois, TSU, Chinchilla Meek, Fable, Scheme, etc……all artist who have been hyped up at some point all for nothing . some of the above artist have bars, some got hooks, some got the look some have it all……..But to this day except Kanye nobody has charisma, flair, showmanship, Chicago artist give the worst interviews I sware LACK OF CHARISMA is why Twista (rap legend no doubt but….) neva became a superstar or megastar even respect to all hes accomplished but if he wasn’t such a swagless lump on a log he would have went way further #realtalk………..niggas is boring and not entertaining ……

      2. Part of the over hype is the city fault some of the artist who have all of that are being blackballed in the city. The wack artist are thriving because they don’t oppose a threat to people money. Think about it if more talented, well packaged, and developed artist started getting they credit and shine then Chicago would be okay, but their not. Chicago is a big MONOPOLY right now a lot of HIGHER ppl have their own artist they are trying to push so anybody that comes along that’s hotter then theirs they are blackballing. A lot of them have clicked up with eachother and paid eachother off it’s a lot of things going on behind the scenes that is horrible. FAKESHORE is apart of the corruptness they are being paid to keep a few artist off this site as well. Fakeshore is the gateway to the industry for chicago artist so they are keeping a few artist off of this site until the one’s they are behind make it.

  8. Chicago Hip Hop lacks imagination, personality, charisma, flare. All the shit an artist needs to pop. Doesn’t help that every rapper likes to switch up and copy what the next man is doing. Trying to blend in instead of standing out is not the move. I ain’t an industry cat or anything but I don’t have to be to know when something is doomed to not succeed. And shit, all the industry people in tha Chi predicted Sosa would take over and look what happened.

    1. keef is too busy rappin glike gucci mane’s washed up azz. Durk probably got a good chance to go far as long as he stays outta jail.

      But I agree, too many Chicago rappers try to blend in instead of stand out, even when they have their own style.

  9. Swag and trap shit is so fucking bland and boring now. I’m talking nation wide too. Can we get something new? Hip Hop gets into these slumps where it play the fuck outta trends.

  14. Chicago still has put out some of the best underground stuff out there: Typical Cats, Qualo and the Movement, Qwaazaar, EC Illa, the Cool Kids, Add-2, Que-Billah, Lid Law from Jrunk Unklz, DJ ALO, and the list keeps going. You just have to dig for the good stuff. Mainstream has been played out since ’95 so the underground is keeping real hip hop alive in the ‘Go

  28. I am really loving the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog readers have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
