it's cuz hobo Johnson has a fanbase who's hard-core into his stuff and Alessia Cara makes music for home goods

I don't like either artist much, but anyone acting like Hobo Johnson has more of a listener base is insane.
Alessia Cara has 19 million monthly listeners while Hobo has like 350k

Hobo Johnson won a contest that NPR would hold every year where fans voted for who they wanted on. You can still find his submission video on YouTube I think

what i dont get is why hobo needs to be brought up in defense of alessia, as if him not being your taste means he's not other people's 🧍🏻♀️the problem here is td, not frank lol

my brother in christ, big artists shouldn't feel entitled to go on tiny desk, and also tiny desk is known to uplift diffrent creators from diffrent genres of music, just because you didnt like it doesn't mean it doesn't belong on it

legit what's the deeper conversation, like what's the insinuation you're trying to make? hobo was very popular when he came out and that's when he was on tiny desk. Alessia pretty much had two major songs and has fallen off since then. tiny desk does more main stream artists now. so what exactly is the deeper discussion

does everyone actually forget that hobo marketed his way on by first doing his own tiny desk in his back yard that went viral?

I'm so sorry your video got dropped off on the worst fyp's, fans of a man who whines that a girl had a bf long before every meeting him, and call it "music", instead of the saddest poetry slam
