LAMB and STAR are what got me into Brockhampton. LAMB won’t be on a physical release until the SATURATION boxset they’re planning. I don’t think they’re plants but they’re definitely savvy and well-produced enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if they had an industry vet guiding/managing/consulting them.

I would be suspicious of anyone who blew up on MTV out of “nowhere” but were supposed to be “underground.” Brockhampton seems to still be under the radar. Having a few million plays on tracks on Spotify isn’t the biggest feat, but if it was tens of millions I’d say there’s mainstream awareness.

at the end of the day, i kinda feel like it doesn't matter, because i don't think they've ever pretended to be some underground force. they're makin pop-rear end music, call themselves a boy band, broke out with a viceland show. if they get big as gently caress thanks to some major label involvement it'll be exactly what they were trying to do, y'know?

people always like to fetishize indie in every genre, and i get why people want to believe their favorite artists are just doin poo poo from the heart and are happy and surprised to find success thanks to a grassroots fanbase, but im pretty sure that poo poo literally doesnt happen in 2017. everyone's got a social media manager and a label and a merch pop up and whatever, and i think brockhampton just own it cuz that's all they really wanna be

Yeah, that stuff doesn’t matter to me. I wasn’t trying to call em out, just wanted to put in my 2 cents. I frankly would love if they blew up, I think it’d still be a Cinderella situation and it’d be a big jump for acknowledging and accepting gay artists, which is pretty cool. I mean, OF members grabbed deals ASAP and I think it was a really good thing for Tyler. He’s been able to create so much and grow artistically in a way that probably would not have happened if they’d tried to remain independent. I hope that the current crop of upcoming artists are able to leverage their YouTube and SoundCloud popularity to remain relatively independent in their creative process, while carving a better deal fiscally.

They're being managed by Kelly & Christian Clancy who managed/manages Odd Future. A huge piece of their approach can easily be explained as learning from Odd Future's "mistakes" - be a band/group proper focusing on doing many consistent group releases over erratic, uneven individual albums, kick out people who are causing drama, be a diverse but tight unit hence everyone in one house, use your existing connections (like the Clancys' to Vice) to accelerate without getting into the label system (which also helps keep the group together rather than split out over labels.)

So even if they're not record industry plants, they're guided by music management vets.

Doesn’t Clancy still manage Tyler?

EDIT: you mentioned it. I was just bringing it up because I think if they are still together, it shows how solid Clancy really is.

EDIT 2: Christian, I think of him as Clancy cause that’s all he was referred to as on OF media

Yeah, he's still managing Tyler for sure, not sure about the rest of the collective at this point - I could've been more clear on that.
