Cordae delivered his From A Bird’s Eye View album last week and his sophomore LP has been a lightning rod for debate on Hip Hop Twitter spheres.
The DMV native stopped by Big Boy’s Neighborhood on his press run and opened up about the confidence he has in his craft while citing a quote from a young Kanye West who believed in his own talents and creative vision more than anyone.
“Obviously, I’m not where Kanye was when he made 808s & Heartbreak, like, success-wise, but he was like, ‘I got so much confidence in the music that I make that if you don’t like my music, you just got poor taste.'”
The reply sparked Big Boy to flashback to a time when Kanye played him his music, but the radio host would listen with his eyes close while a wide-eyed Yeezy stared him down awaiting a response.
Cordae then likened his music to being one of his children.

“It’s really an infant, man, these albums are all like my kids,” he continued. “It’s like I’m giving you everything. A seed! My seed to the world, what are you gonna do with it? It’s a balance.”
According to HitsDailyDouble, From A Bird’s Eye View is expected to sell 21,000 total album-equivalent units in its first week and debut inside the Billboard 200’s top 20. The sales number is a slight decrease compared to Cordae’s The Lost Boy debut.

Dude is trash just like the rest of his generation. These kids have proven to the world they cant make good rap music over and over again for years. The torch was passed on to them and they dont even know what to do with it. Are we finally at the end of the road where no talent exists in hip hop? Are we now at the same place where rock music was in the 80s where all the talent just dies off? It’s almost become a joke at this point.
Dude you don’t know. I can’t stand the new generation of rappers. I hate that shit. I’m an old head and mostly listen to hardcore New York rap or anything of that style. With that being said, cordae can spit and can really put together some good tracks. You clearly have never given the guy a listen. I refused to at first but a lot of my ppl kept telling me young’n can spit and they weren’t lying. It’s not like I’ve been bumping his new album a whole lot because like I said I’m an old head and it’s not really my style of music but to say he’s trash? Fuck outta here.
You’re right he is good I didn’t even know who he was I listened to his album a few months ago it was good and his new album is decent he’s not garbage he talks about real things the problem is the South took music to a bad place and artists like him suffer the consequences either adapt or you don’t sell
I mean look at this guy. Nobody will even know who he is 5 to 10 years from now. Nobody even knows who he is now lol except his 500 bots on the internet. Already selling less than his debut album at 21k first week…. lol if you sold that 20 years ago you wouldnt be mentioned anywhere. That’s why the internet he been so detrimental to music in general is because no-talent artists still get exposure and a space to express their dumb feelings.
Shit most good music doesn’t put up big numbers anymore. What? You only like music that everyone else likes is what you just said. Clown you can’t even think for yourself. You just follow the trend and only listen to shitty music everyone else listens to just to try to fit in and gain a friend or two. Sit down son. Remember: report to Homeroom no later than 8:00 am tomorrow or you’ll be counted tardy.
Man. I can’t judge the homie’s album yet because I haven’t even heard it but, I used to fuck with this dude but, the industry has gotten to dude. He just seems overrated now. To paraphrase the God, Nas- “you ain’t as good as you think you is, you just okay”. Shit. A lot of rappers aren’t as good as advertised or as good as social media hyped them up to be. A really dope album doesn’t have to sell itself because any truly phenomenal work of art will simply speak for itself. Cordae would like to be the Second Coming of Nas or Kendrick but, he could never live up to that lofty expectation. And 21K first week is a MAJOR FLOP. They’ll be dropping this dude soon.
I listened to his album. It’s actually not bad. Kids not bad at all. His problem is that his music ain’t that turn up Atlanta sound that’s popular right now. So he not going to sell
