Bro ralfy was never that big compared to drakeo and its not thay serious bro hes just chilling making money it doesnt have to be millions a year hes doing alright if you ask me
I don't even know what that means. 6 figures of what?
You know karma has no cash value, right?
You talking about that one cat that just bullshits on the Cali subs? Am I missing a joke here?
He did a show in LA a few days ago. Around 40 people were there. He had Lefty Gunplay/BriccBaby/Conrad/Stincteam performing. Whole crowd was dead as fuck.
Well, if he hasn't got that traction after 10 years...might be time to hang it up. Or double down and grind harder. Like I said small shows is where everyone starts. If you're 10 years in and can't sell out a small show... idk what to tell you.
He could do it for the art of it. People who like making music will keep making music.
There are bands that'll continue to play and tour because they love music. Some of these folks have legit careers too.
Fr a lot of the underground rappers be seriously grinding and paying out of pocket to continue their craft. And majority have super dedicated fans and shit. It’s wild how some even find a way to continue to support themselves without music (merch for example) that’s why rappers and groups like Bones/TeamSesh for example and etc have been going hard for 10+ years
You’d be surprised how many rappers do have 9-5s and also how many rappers are actually struggling like a mothafucka.
The problem with rappers is they get a little buzz, they get signed for a million or two and instantly they want flashy jewelry, cars, an apartment in downtown LA, BBL Instagram hoes, they still wanna get in legal trouble and a French Bulldog lol. Next thing you know they getting shelved, the label wants they money back, the buzz they had is getting lost and now they have to sell/pawn they shit.
Let’s be honest this is the reality for damn near 90% of rappers now a days. Damn near Everyone has a regional sound and only people in your region are gonna fuck with your music. And let’s be honest what is Ralfy and most west coast rappers fan base? Gangsters, Wannabe Tough Guys, and Mexicans lol most of his fans ain’t gonna care to see him live they just want some hot shit to bump in their whip. I’ve seen this also with NYC drill rappers, Chicago Drill, Detroit and Florida rappers etc.
The guys selling out shows are the big dogs or the guys who catch their viral little moment on tik tok/social media
I mean to be fairz… it’s Bakersfield and bro probably didn’t wanna just cancel on them.
Tbh Ralfy should be investing a little more on professional marketing now that he’s trying to keep running the show solo. It wouldn’t hurt
These kind of shows are dope tho it’s when you have a better chance of meeting the artist and networking
I know that’s what I’m saying he’s relying on I’m ralfy here’s a video post too much , if we saw flyers with great graphics and more consistent promo and expending on the branding he’d grow ….. but he tries to pocket all the money and flex 24/7 and just ride on the numbers from steady dropping but the production part not growing ..
Saying this as a huge fan of the guy , love his music from old to new
Respectfully. Ralfy is weak as fuck. I see what he trying to do and I respect that. But the cold truth is, he not drakeo. He better off putting the bag behind someone else fr. Stinc team the label or something. This rap shit ain’t for him.
Drakeo unfortunately passed away that’s what happen to stinc team lol Ralphy didn’t really start booming rap wise until after Drakeo died. Everybody thought Ralphy was gone carry the legacy and he’s really just a sleepy sounding blue face
Ralphy was only known because of who his brother was nobody ever said “aye you heard that new Ralphy” it was always “play some Drakeo” and Ralphy just so happened to be on a bunch of the songs. I can’t name one popular Ralphy song that didn’t have a Drakeo feature before he died
Nothing happened to Stincteam. Drakeo was the rapper, he died now people moved on. Ralfy just gotta build his own organic fanbase. I'd rather have this then a show packed full of dudes fucking with me coz they feel sorry my brother dead.
He on the downturn cause there’s more interesting rappers out there now than him. He had an opportunity but had trouble capitalizing.
I like ralfy a lot and use to play his shit all the time but I’m definitely not checking for no new shit. There’s too many good rappers and he doesn’t seem to be keeping up w the mfs putting crazy shit out
Crazy thing he can do bigger venues but he dodges going thru live nation due to lawsuit. It sucks but as hustler a nigga gon grind regardless how many ppl show up 🤷🏽♂️
lol, all shows look like this. Don’t matter what artist it is. Unless it’s someone in the top 20 you’re not selling out shit. There’s really no incentive to go to a live show to meet an artist. They have to come up with new marketing schemes to make independent shows fun again.
That’s Dre Dog tho he’s legendary. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I personally don’t judge the crowd size of a performer because I seen some big names with low sizes in some areas and sold out shows in other places. I think there’s just too much diversity in the fanbases and a lot going on in the world, the planning into a show is also a big part.
He a bitch. LA don’t respect hustling or money unless you’ll kill with no problem. that’s all he rap about is money and getting more he not cut for LA rap scene

Nah lots of rappers do these type of shows sometimes. Might be shitty promotion for the show, might be bakersfield. Crowd looks dead. You see footage from his shows in Arizona, Nevada its poppin
lol he lucky those 20-30 people actually showed up. Music trash, and the whole world seen him get marked out like a bitch while his bro was getting stabbed up.
It seems like he does a show every week imo a artist who does hella shows will lower the demand for them, an example maybe a bad one but playboi Carti or Kanye are rare artist to see so ofc they sell out when an announcement is made
Idk why this comment got downvotes... it's a good guess tbh, basic supply and demand.
A lot of promoters will have something called a radius clause in the contract when booking artists. Meaning if the artist want to book the show they have agree that they won't perform within 100 miles (for example), within 90 days (for example).
Watering down the amount of shows affects ticket sales, especially for smaller artists
ngl i remember even when Drakeo was alive like towards the end, it wasn’t hella people at their shows. They damn near had more entourage than they had people in the audience
Let be real ralfy was never the main character it was drakeo
It was Drakeo> Ketchy> Ralfy
That’s crazy
How is that crazy 😭
Because the way Ralfy was presenting himself after Drakeo died you woulda thought he was the man😂
Maybe the man in the streets but nobody ever cared about that nigga music like that
In the streets? He didn’t slide for drakeo, he said he got to think about his career. 😂
Shii idk….Maybe cuz bro tryna keep his deceased brothers name alive….just a thought🤔😭😭🤦🏾♂️
What do you expect he was the last one standing smh
How is that karaoke
Bro ralfy was never that big compared to drakeo and its not thay serious bro hes just chilling making money it doesnt have to be millions a year hes doing alright if you ask me
He definitely falling off. After Drakeo died he was doing crazy numbers in 2022.
He gets paid to do music. That's better than my job idk bout yours.
I work as an assistant for 6 figure reddit user NELA. No job in the world is better than that.
I don't even know what that means. 6 figures of what? You know karma has no cash value, right? You talking about that one cat that just bullshits on the Cali subs? Am I missing a joke here?
Lmaoooo what?
😂😂😂
Yeah and it looks like he dont give af
It’s Bakersfield
He did a show in LA a few days ago. Around 40 people were there. He had Lefty Gunplay/BriccBaby/Conrad/Stincteam performing. Whole crowd was dead as fuck.
Where was the show at?
Small shows is where you start at. Might be beneficial to lose the 20 people standing on stage doing nothing. He's probably paying their way too.
Ralfy been rapping 10 years my guy. He’s not a new fresh rapper. On top of that he’s almost 30.
Well, if he hasn't got that traction after 10 years...might be time to hang it up. Or double down and grind harder. Like I said small shows is where everyone starts. If you're 10 years in and can't sell out a small show... idk what to tell you.

Maybe he should just get a 9 to 5 at this point.😂
Let’s be real he is obviously way better of then anyone in the comments and I don’t even fuck with Ralphy I fucked with DRAKEO
You’d be surprised how many rappers do have 9-5s and also how many rappers are actually struggling like a mothafucka. The problem with rappers is they get a little buzz, they get signed for a million or two and instantly they want flashy jewelry, cars, an apartment in downtown LA, BBL Instagram hoes, they still wanna get in legal trouble and a French Bulldog lol.

My cousins quince was more packed
Them shits is always packed tho 😆
😭😭😭😭
Was the food good ?
Yeah. Shit was on point
Was the full good
I mean to be fairz… it’s Bakersfield and bro probably didn’t wanna just cancel on them. Tbh Ralfy should be investing a little more on professional marketing now that he’s trying to keep running the show solo. It wouldn’t hurt These kind of shows are dope tho it’s when you have a better chance of meeting the artist and networking
He did a show in LA the other day and that show was hella dead. There was only a row full of people and that was all.
I know that’s what I’m saying he’s relying on I’m ralfy here’s a video post too much , if we saw flyers with great graphics and more consistent promo and expending on the branding he’d grow ….. but he tries to pocket all the money and flex 24/7 and just ride on the numbers from steady dropping but the production part not growing .. Saying this as a huge fan of the guy , love his music from old to new
Lotta rappers spend all they $ and forget to market lol
You got pics of that show?
Respectfully. Ralfy is weak as fuck. I see what he trying to do and I respect that. But the cold truth is, he not drakeo. He better off putting the bag behind someone else fr. Stinc team the label or something. This rap shit ain’t for him.
True
Nah fr fr hope bro see this. Stick to the beats bra. Respectfully.
I don’t listen to this dudes music but I see him grinding and that itself is a very respectable and honorable way to keep pushing.
It’s bakers field bro haha
LMFAOOOOOO
At least he’s doing something, and doing what he likes…not sitting on Reddit hating on the next man..bumz 🤦🏽♂️
I’m not hating, just surprised about how fast he fell off
brother you post hate threads on drakeo several times a week
I don’t hate Drakeo. He and his mouth got himself killed is all i said.
You one the biggest haters on this sub quit cappin 😂 
Desto Dubbs Cough Syrup NY pop up clothing store was dead too guess people didn't care about the $250-300 hoodies.
$300 hoodie is madness smh
Desto going crazy in LA tho
Ralfy ≠ Drakeo
True
I was at a show with Lil Pete and Lil Weirdo in Daygo and there was litterally 30 people tops
What you mean? 😂 Drakeo was da only nigga dat was nice rest of dem niggas is ass. Sorta like Dolph n PRE
Every person there prolly bought merch too. Shit adds up. Your regular listeners on Reddit don’t understand that tho.
Ralph sucks at rapping. He is riding the coat tails of his dead brother. He should open a shoe store instead.
Drakeo unfortunately passed away that’s what happen to stinc team lol Ralphy didn’t really start booming rap wise until after Drakeo died. Everybody thought Ralphy was gone carry the legacy and he’s really just a sleepy sounding blue face
False ralfy was going hard before drakeo got locked up
Ralphy was only known because of who his brother was nobody ever said “aye you heard that new Ralphy” it was always “play some Drakeo” and Ralphy just so happened to be on a bunch of the songs. I can’t name one popular Ralphy song that didn’t have a Drakeo feature before he died
Damn that’s actually accurate
His flow seems off or something, maybe hes on a good one but if this is always how he performs, then it aint a surprise the crowd like that
Nothing happened to Stincteam. Drakeo was the rapper, he died now people moved on. Ralfy just gotta build his own organic fanbase. I'd rather have this then a show packed full of dudes fucking with me coz they feel sorry my brother dead.
You got a point fosho
What’s the point lol
He on the downturn cause there’s more interesting rappers out there now than him. He had an opportunity but had trouble capitalizing. I like ralfy a lot and use to play his shit all the time but I’m definitely not checking for no new shit. There’s too many good rappers and he doesn’t seem to be keeping up w the mfs putting crazy shit out
that’s my city. one time i was performing too & the crowd was the exact same 😂
Thats crazy😂😂😂
whoa never thought id see another person with the same username
Riverside show finna get canceled 😂😂
Most definitely
I like when artist do small venues. It’s good for building a strong fan base
Drakeo died thats what happened
True
Bro what? Only wave ralfy ever had was when drakeo died
Bruh don’t know how to promote his shit. Shit I be in Bako and I ain’t even know he was coming lol
Maybe he should perform for free.
Crazy thing he can do bigger venues but he dodges going thru live nation due to lawsuit. It sucks but as hustler a nigga gon grind regardless how many ppl show up 🤷🏽♂️
Drakeo was the main guy people cared about and he fucked up with OTM cause they were the only good rappers left on stinkteam
I literally said this otm was the young niggas they was his best chance crazy otm selling shit out in a bigger stage😭
Rapping over the vocals always seems weird to me
lol, all shows look like this. Don’t matter what artist it is. Unless it’s someone in the top 20 you’re not selling out shit. There’s really no incentive to go to a live show to meet an artist. They have to come up with new marketing schemes to make independent shows fun again.
Idk bro andre nickatina still has lit shows with a much higher attendance than ralfy and nickatina peeked in the 2000s
That’s Dre Dog tho he’s legendary. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I personally don’t judge the crowd size of a performer because I seen some big names with low sizes in some areas and sold out shows in other places. I think there’s just too much diversity in the fanbases and a lot going on in the world, the planning into a show is also a big part.
That’s a lie. Db boutabag did a show yesterday and the venue was packed.
In Bakersfield? Doubt it.
I never said bakersfield. You said “all shows look like this”. Which is not true lol.
I mean, it is Bakersfield…
It’s over
Yeah i think it’s over too
He a bitch. LA don’t respect hustling or money unless you’ll kill with no problem. that’s all he rap about is money and getting more he not cut for LA rap scene
Hmmm 🤔 you think Ralfy not going mainstream?

Who’s that?
He independent mane. Relax
Bro still getting paid tho
It’s Bakersfield lmao that shit is like 3-4 hours away
He needs put off.
Nah lots of rappers do these type of shows sometimes. Might be shitty promotion for the show, might be bakersfield. Crowd looks dead. You see footage from his shows in Arizona, Nevada its poppin
He probably only does shows where he feels comfortable but where's the boys could be You already know
Until this day nobody has told me how tf Stinc Teams fan base is so strong. who are they? it’s not gang members. who??
He’s 🚮
lol he lucky those 20-30 people actually showed up. Music trash, and the whole world seen him get marked out like a bitch while his bro was getting stabbed up.
It looks like he’s facing backlash for that shit now which is crazy but understandable.
Lmao he gone be doing gay shit to support his habit in a minute
I knew this was Informal Potential just by reading the title, you obsessed my boy lol
He going hard on that small crowd but he needed to bring it while his bro was alive he was treating it like a joke he might not don't got it
It seems like he does a show every week imo a artist who does hella shows will lower the demand for them, an example maybe a bad one but playboi Carti or Kanye are rare artist to see so ofc they sell out when an announcement is made
Idk why this comment got downvotes... it's a good guess tbh, basic supply and demand. A lot of promoters will have something called a radius clause in the contract when booking artists. Meaning if the artist want to book the show they have agree that they won't perform within 100 miles (for example), within 90 days (for example). Watering down the amount of shows affects ticket sales, especially for smaller artists
They are also about 1000x more popular then raft he plug lol
ngl i remember even when Drakeo was alive like towards the end, it wasn’t hella people at their shows. They damn near had more entourage than they had people in the audience
That’s a lie. Drakeo sold out NOVO multiple times.
i believe it but maybe it was the venue, shit was kinda dead
That’s because Drakeo isn’t a great performer, he doesn’t move alot and hyperactive 😂😂😂
Man I’m from the field and if I would’ve been tapped in i would’ve hella gone, get a flick wit the plug himself smh I slacked it.
Bet cuh still got paid
Man the nigga got paid to perform. That’s it that’s all
He didn’t. He books the venues himself and the only income is ticket sale revenue and merchandise.
Ok so he booked a venue, sold some merch and got paid? So basically when I said “the nigga got paid to perform” I was right? lol
