“I Changed The Music Industry Forever” – Rapper DDG Claims Twitch Album Stream Shaped The World

by

Music artist, online broadcaster, and self-styled pioneer DDG has unveiled a fresh album titled “Blame the Chat” and seized this opportunity to establish himself as a pioneer in the music industry. In a chat with TMZ, he boasted about “revolutionizing the music industry” by being the first performer to “create an album live on Twitch.” The interviewer concurred, labeling DDG’s method as the birth of “a brand-new trend.” DDG himself commented: “The music scene is getting stale, I had to add some excitement.



Livestream Instead Of Studio: Selling intimacy?

Fundamentally, DDG’s argument is straightforward: engaging directly with fans throughout the creative phase makes music seem more intimate – less enigmatic, more open. His solution? Livestreaming his songwriting and recording sessions. Whether this is a groundbreaking move or simply another step in the evolving “everything needs to be live” trend is up for debate. However, claiming to have ushered in a new era certainly feels optimistic.

DDG also clarified a controversial statement he made last month, where he said he’d run out of money quickly if he ever stopped working. He now acknowledges that was an exaggeration and that he’s financially stable. This admission comes as no shock. As for the future: music is not his ultimate goal. He’s already exploring acting opportunities.

Big Names, Big Talk – And $2 Million For A Cameo?

This album boasts some well-known artists such as Offset, Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla Sign, PlaqueBoyMax, and NLE Choppa. Some of these musicians have previously appeared on DDG’s Twitch or YouTube broadcasts. Moreover, there was a reported proposition made to YouTuber IShowSpeed worth $2 million for a brief appearance in an upcoming music video. However, it’s unclear if this was a genuine offer or simply meant to create buzz around the project – likely, it was a mix of both.

Ultimately, what remains are an album, a live stream on Twitch, and quite a boisterous assertion about rewriting musical history. Whether the industry concurs is a separate matter. If events don’t unfold as expected, there’s always the chat to point fingers at.
