Tekashi 6ix9ine feels the industry is rigged because his new album TattleTaleS has not made it to playlists on popular streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music.
TattleTales was released on Friday (September 4) amid a slew of other new releases from the likes of Big Sean, SZA and more.
In a since-deleted post, the Brooklyn native shared screen recordings of the home pages of both apps that showed Sean, SZA and the others — but he was nowhere in sight. He tagged both Apple Music’s Head of Content Larry Jackson and Spotify’s Head of Urban Music Carl Chery.
“WHEN THE INDUSTRY KNOWS THAT YOU ARE A MONSTER AND YOU CANT BE STOPPED,” he wrote in all caps. “THEY MAKE SURE THEY DO EVERYTHING IN THERE POWER TO MAKE YOU LOSE .. THESE AWARD SHOWS THESE TOP CHARTERS ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM TO BE AND THEY’LL BEAT THEM IN YOUR FACE TILL YOU THINK YOU LIKE THEM … I DROPPED A ALBUM TODAY AND THEY HAVE COMPLETELY BLACKLISTED IT SO NO ONE CAN SEE IT @thelarryjackson @carlchery THE INDUSTRY IS RIGGED.”

The sophomore effort is 6ix9ine’s first post-prison offering and comes at a time where he’s not being well-received by his industry peers.
In one of the few interviews he did to promote the album, the “TROLLZ” rapper said he feels the industry is scared there will be some sort of repercussions for supporting him, despite the fact they’re not involved in the street life.
“I feel like it’s a fear, because remember, everybody has to abide by a street code, right?” he told the New York Times. “But the industry is not street. I feel like the executives think they’re Nine Trey gangsters. These executives feel like they owe something to the streets. It’s the most stupidest thing in the world.”

Not a Fan of 69 but it definitely feels weird if 2 streaming Services have hidden his new album. Maybe 69 has pissed off someone pretty important for him to have been blacklisted. 69 has a pretty nasty rap sheet but on the other Hand serial Child r a p i s t rkelly sits comfy on playlists so it cant be Due to those type of crimes.
It’s not “hidden” if you search for it, it’s there. They just aren’t promoting it for him or adding it to any of there Hip Hop playlists.
It’s not weird at all! What made you think he’d really be supported? He’s poison to the culture, it’s Europeans that have him here they’ll always use someone like him as well as other stunt artists to water and destroy the true culture of hiphop. Hiphop fuck it, anything created by us is pure, strong and real to be broken down by anyone Europeans create water it down the scales will tip and eventually we’ll get back to the real not this nonsense.
Blessings on blessings on blessings.

Loser. Can’t wait to see his loser numbers. Rat bum.
You have to pay to go on playlists. U know this rat69. Just how u admitted u buy the number one billboard spot. Just pay apple n spotify like u pay Tim wistwood n u go on list. R u short of money rat69? U used to pay before
They aren’t hiding it. Playlist are comprised of searches, and hot albums, which in turn placed in a queue by likes, and searches.
You may have bought your streaming numbers, but you can’t buy a spot on what people like.
That album is ass and you can’t rap u need beef to stay in media not your music it sucks and you got the kids lil Durk song voice it solid and grounded….
How do you know its bad, if they dont play it and you ain’t heard it?
He really thinks ? he hit those numbers when he came out of lockup because ppl wanted to see him. No ?, Everyone and their Gma have been sitting on lockdown at home he came out with a video with thick girls and Every was watching because we already watched everything there was to be watched.
