Get On The Grind.
Chicago newcomer Tink made her Breakfast Club debut this morning. She spoke on her upbringing, music, “Ratchet Commandments“, Lauryn Hill comparisons, meeting Timbaland and more. Before leaving, she kicked a few bars for the show.
Whats this chick hyped for!? ..timbo hasnt made anything hot for a very long time..an hes lost his signiture sound so idk how hes expecting to make her pop in this industry
yeah i guess justin, jay, and beyonce albums were all failures
His work on jodeci new album is shit so yea. He lost his sound or chooses who he gives it to.
damn dog , you sound like a straight up hater….and discrediting Timbo is ridiculous, im not biggest timbo fan, but his catalog is top notch with artists hes made major hits…the girl can rap, why hate?
How is diagreeing hate! I fuckin seriously HATE this generation..so ass backwards clearley i like the guy if i said he hasnt made hit in a while..an im a HUGE timbo fan but he hasnt hat a good production sound for a while..name his last hit ..an know non of what he helped co produce on magna carter was out standing..an justins album sounded like such a bute of robin thickes whole style..everyone has said it…i have purchesed albums from TIM so yall aint tellin me shit…even his new production he has on the new jodeci album is very standout in styles…his creative side has took a turn for the worse but id hope in the future hed prove me wrong
huh? you sound like a angry fan. why you so mad? why not let her do her thing, if she flops she flops….you really disecting Timbalands whole musical career sheesh lol….hes a icon dude, if your such a FAN of his , you should give him a chance as a FAN to work with this young lady, and see what happens.
Nice, hopefully the album will be great.
Great interview. Can’t wait to see her career blossom and see her work with other artists.
Her talent is undeniable but I cant help the fact that it takes more talent to stay relevant and her story isn’t interesting enough for a mass appeal. On top of that, she getting overhyped way to early for basically cause she sounds 90’s. Look like The second coming of Joey Badass….
The second coming of Joey badass huh? I mean dude dope & all but i don’t think that’s something she would be proud to hear I’m pretty sure she shooting for something of a higher level.
Yeah and I hope she does succeed, but all this hype, the words that are being used to describe “She sound like this…” or “She’s bringing back the…” get caught in a bubble and never seem to grow outside of a certain sound like a Joey Badass. But who knows…
Totally agree.
dope but i hope she gets better. I’ll definitely keep my eyes on her.
Tink is dope but I don’t see the Lauryn Hill Comparison.
she raps and sings. just like any guy who does both will be compared to drake
She being forced on the public .
how?
Lack of talent.
SHE KILLED YOUR IDOL OFFICER RICKY ON HIS OWN TRACK, RAMIREZ!!!!
HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I hate the police as much I hate you nigga.
Are u saying Tink lacks talent? Cause if so, then u don’t even know what talent is.
If its one thing this girl has, is mad talent.
They done shoved tink down your throat too?
Nobody shoved shit down my throat.. I listened to her music and thought it was dope.
YEAH right nigga lying….I know how you niggas are..
When u figure out why I would lie to say I like someone’s music when I don’t…. U just let me know ok? Lol smh
I wouldn’t say forced but she is planted via Breakfast Club… can’t blame them Hot97 does the same thing
from listening I can understand zzzz and your point. it’s also a fact that charlamnge is good friends with timbo. she’s his new favorite rapper. she getting flex-like freestyles. not neglecting her skills, she spits, but the hype machine is working. this use to happen for some artists back in the days.
Im not mad tbh a come up is a come and I can’t knock one’s hustle to mainstream
word.Memphis Bleek is a great example
I think what he’s trynna say Bdot is she is being pushed by a machine rather than coming from an independent grind with no one helping her but her. She has plugs to get her these interviews and get her featured on websites where as other artists have to fight in their local area just to get heard and drop mad mixtapes. She’s an industry plant
she does come from that though lol
she has many mixtapes online…she just happened to get noticed by the right people early on
so let me get this straight, a girl who CAN rap, who is NOT showing her ASS links up with a LEGEND and uses the perks of that legend, and you all are acting like its a PROBLEM. OK…this is ass backwards…..complete nonsense….99 percent of rap is wack, im OK with one lil female who can rap using the perks of her producer to be heard. if the people dont like it they wont BUY IT. SIMPLE..btw i only hear this girl on RapRadar and the breakfast club…you guys are acting like shes EVERYWHERE. Broaden your media outlets if you feel shes being forced on you.
i mean, she got put on via a traditional channel. is that wrong? artist get discovered all the time without having to put out 100 mixtapes.
Don’t act blind and stupid B.Dot… You know what the game is and with Tink it’s clear as day.
who cares? the girls got BARS
the only reason you got a problem with it is cuz she doesnt have sex appeal
and just like that RR put this post in @ no 1 on the top 5 posts lol
You see that too ha?
She’s not forced, just overhyped. As a result, many are going to see her work as “average” and underwhelming. Timbaland should just be quiet and let the music speak for itself.
And this interview was boring. She needs a bit more personality.
Lol Lauryn Hill comparisons….lol tink wish her name was in the same sentence with lauryn hill.
you just put her name in the same sentence with lauryn hill
You know what the fuck I’m talking about. you just wanna be a wise ass right?
MEXICAN ALERT!!!!
HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Go back to wildlife in Africa nigga.
that nigga timbaland and charlamagne are def forcing this girl on the public
Please stop FORCING this girl on us! She has released like 4 songs and none of yet to blow with all this backing. Timbaland went as far to put her on Movin’ Bass which was a Rick Ross featuring Jay-Z song and fronted like she was also on it prior to Ross even releasing it officially to the public. SMH Then he goes on to say Aaliyah came to him in a dream to tell him Tink is the one. LMAO! Like my nigga stop it. If she’s gonna blow it will happen organically, not by forced big names co-signing her. Does she have talent yes, are her songs fire, eh not exactly, they are just alright. You are making people resent her because the public knows when they are being force feed and you’re choking them. Let us breath.
but how is she being forced on us when the only place you heard her is the breakfast club and they genuinely like her. She not on a hundred features and she only got a few songs out there floating besides her mixtape. I don’t see forced i just see a few excited individuals who happen to have a big platform to say yo i think this chick is dope and of course timberland suppose to feel that way its his artist.
only place i hear of her is RapRadar and Breakfast club. Maybe you should broaden your media outlets. plus she can rap, sooooo why hate? isnt she only 19, last time i checked the only rapper who’s songs were EXTREMELY good at 19 , was NAS. …I get some of your point, just relax and click another link
No, you clearly need to broaden your media outlets to know she is being backed on a lot of them. Plus, I’m in no way hating just giving my opinion. I don’t want to click another link, I’ll click what I want to. I check her out because I won’t to hear something that will make me a believer. Her freestyle she spit towards the end was dope, I can’t and won’t deny that. When I have exhausted my tolerance to like her trust and believe I won’t click nor comment. By the way many other people are saying the same thing so face it.
huh? your not making sense my friend….can she rap? yes. you liked her freestyle at the end? yes…sooooooo. whats the problem? so what she gets love on rapradar? please explain what other outlets shes constantly on? she gave a great interview…said she wont participate in a Amber rose “slut walk”? LOL young women need to hear that. dude maybe your hating or being judgmental and dont realize it. you like her raps so leave it at that. or dont
Foh how do u get 8 likes with that hating shit is beyond me . U making up reasons to be mad
We have to support the Real.Tink is by far the most talented female artist since Lauryn Hill. Humble Cool Good Hearted Young Woman.It’s great to see a Black Woman with intelligence and has the Gift to speak and inspire.I hope Young Black Women look for her Music to Motivate them.Nicki Minaj is just for entertainment and not a Motivator.Songs like “Beez N The Trap” “Anaconda” only show Black Girls they only have their Sexuality to display to get notice.Tink makes good Music.Her flow is incredible.I hope Timbaland make the right sound for her,can’t wait for her Album to drop.
Snow da product and nitty Scott is lyrically better tho
I never listened to her music but that’s your opinion
and would you have listened if snow had the push of a Timbo and a Breakfast Club ????
You know I’m about to listen to her songs,I’m not that type of person who’s closed minded.Snow The Product is dope I’ll give her credit.
the chick is nice..but she need that single timmy.
Too many hating ass females on here… Ooooh wait it’s dudes on here hating on a female.Too many Bitch Ass Niggas with a negative opinion.Just because ya’ll No Pussy getting ass Niggas got access to Wifi doesn’t mean you FuckGirls should Hate.Go Eat a AIDS Dick Faggots.
Yee was def hating on the low! Lol
Upload that Rapsody Hot 97 interview stop hating on Rapsody.
I see this site is left with paranoid fcks still, talking about “the machine” lmao. You guys can’t do anything in your lives so you hate on a young girl who grinded since 16 was found by A legend and actually has talent. Crab ass people NEVER make it. And funny thing is they’ll never realize it.
1- She ain’t forced down your throat, you made the choice to click on the post regarding her so thats on you.
2- It’s pretty naive to believe that she’s not at the very least industry planted, I have heard of Tink prior to Timberland but she didn’t gain my full attention cos of the Chances, Vic Mensa, Chief Keef and Durk bubble . Now she’s gaining all the coverage in the world (believe Rapradar started covering her after Timberland and Charlamagne cosigned her in the Breakfast Club) solely because of the Breakfast Club especially CTG promoting her any chance he gets so the scenario is there.
3- please FOH with the Lauryn Hill comparisons just cause she’s a dark-skin chick (yhh i said dark-skin for a reason) without a “bad-bitch” template. That’s overhype and that’s how the industry can flop you. I rather hear her surpass Lauryn with a Tink body of work than her tryna be the next Lauryn, let Tink’s body of work speak for themselves before we can talk about her and Lauryn Hill
EXACTLY!!!! WELL SAID BRO!!!!
HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Tink coming in the game similar to drake, big Sean, and j Cole. Whining ass passive observers of the culture should do your research before you hate. She has been putting out mixtapes, freestyles and videos since she was 15. She can sing, rap, and write. She hungry and ready to full court press the game. You mad that Timbaland likes her and signed her? You mad that Nas liked Dave East? You mad that Hov liked Jay Elec? You mad that Rosenberg liked Action Bronson? Fuck outta here.
Timbo cosign is understandable but let’s not pretend The CTG cosign is just as genuine aswell … How many ppl has Charlemagne put on apart from Tink?
CTG putting Tink on? Nahhhh. I doubt his cosign really matters that much. But he was a big champion of Nicki around the time her first album dropped before she was a mega star. Which helped her deal with certain politics after that whole thing with Rosenberg and 97.9. He’s always spoken highly of Gunplay. You’re right, he was pretty dismissive of most of the new school leaders when they first popped. He rarely speaks excitedly about newer artists. To me that made his opinion less relevant outside of ratchet commentary. He has been wrong more than he has been right when I think about his attitude toward KRIT, Drake, Kendrick, Cole, etc. That’s why I dont see how his cosign can be viewed as an industry push. What power does he have to make a star? If anything to me he trying to get in early on a guaranteed success story so he can finally have an early pick under his belt. But even this isn’t early because she’s been grinding for 5 years.
I forgot about when he did those drops on Papoose and Troy Ave tapes too. He has promoted Troy in the past
Yay another industry plant!
When she finds her single, she will arrive. Shes more skillfull ghan anyone out to present date..
Why can’t we applaud the young lady for her talent and let her shine, why do we have to compare or say she’s bringing anything back. She has a flow, something to say and she’s living out a dream, ask yourself as you comment, are you living your dream out. As ppl not just Black; let’s let her enjoy her moment…….
Interview sounded scripted.
I think it’s hilarious how people think this chick is so hyper talented. I’ve listened to a couple songs and there really isn’t anything overly impressive about her. People are too easily swayed by others opinion and a melody hahaha. This girl is boring to listen to and says she doesn’t talk about violence and gang shit but she did on Moving Bass, the first snippet most people ever heard of this basic bitch. If shes C tha Gods favorite rapper, than i’ve lost respect for C tha God.
You’re pathetic
Hahaha yeah not the clown commenting on a post he thinks is pathetic while riding for Tink and Timb’s shitty music i’m assuming. Get the fuck outta here if you got nothing real to say haha
They thought that leaked ross single with the fake controversy was gonna blow her up and it flopped. ..she needs a hit that’s all that counts is hot music!! FK yo feelings!!!
Stop the fucking BS.
Ppl talking about Tink being forced on us. Does she get MTV or BET attention? Any TV time? Which news outlets making a big deal out of her?
All it has been is a few breakfast club interviews and posts on some hip hop sites and ppl are saying they are forcing her on us?
This bitch is dope as fuck, sings and raps her ass off and she writing her own rhymes.
I would rather “they” force someone like Tink on us than Iggy Izalea. Hands down, full fucking stop. So u guys can bitch all u want but this little girl represents Hip Hop way better than Iggy or Nicki, so I say give me more Tink and Rhapsody. Fuck the bullshit.
FYI, every major label artist is FORCED ON U!
Our idea of who is “relevant” is based on the major label hype machine. Which is why I hate to hear ppl talk about who is relevant and who isn’t, its all manufactured at the end of the day, its just about who the major label’s marketing team is focused on pushing. So if u want to complain that this girls name is circulating more than before then go ahead but just know that her name is only gonna get bigger. Because she actually has talent and the right ppl backing her.
I especially loved the part where you said she wasn’t being forced on us then followed with “every major label artist is FORCED ON U!” and closed saying it’s “not forcing anything on you, it’s just promotion.” Nicely done, man lol.
I was just using the terminology they used, maybe I should a put it in quotes. I meant that if u want to get technical, all major label artists are “forced on us” via promotion… But just because b is on a couple blogs isn’t forcing her on us at all.
Folks saying she’s not being forced on us is comical when this post is the first thing you see when you log onto the site lol. How many other not-poppin artists get to be #1 on the rundown?
