Real ones discovered him from Average Joe sampling Let’s Play House by DPG

Sharing a viral tweet = cosign?

Y'all stay embarrassing yourselves lying about others because you got the hump

I didn’t dodge it I’m saying because how you present yourself outside of the culture has more of an effect than how you present yourself internally. When the primary vector of exposure to external audiences is a beef, that’s how you’ll be remembered. This is very literally what happened to snoop and why he’s now the “funny weed guy who does celebrity cameos” rapper and not the Doggy Style rapper. Not saying it’s the same level btw but wanted to give an example

When are we getting this Tiramasu song btw... quit playing with us Kendrick

Why would he perform with Rihanna when he’s touring alongside SZA with a song that’s bigger than Loyalty?

On top of having All the Stars with her too, another hit.

Also, what’s even wrong with that anyway? Drake is a representative of a larger issue, this isn’t just about him.

lmfao I swear I only see you talk Drake in Drake threads, idek gang. Niggas rent free

I think it just comes down to you not liking the approach he took with his halftime set vs there actually being a problem with the set itself.

You wanted the typical formula where an older artist will play their old hits and people sit on the couch and go “I remember that….”

And Kenny decided to subvert that expectation and do a show that was very much in the present and his success in this era.

So you just posted a racist for no reason?

Dj hed was teasing 2/11 a month or so ago. so we'll see

Kendrick was right when he said people will make up narratives of his performance

Yeah it happened and the post was deleted, but you can still see all the replies to it in that thread. He tried to then say he got it from reddit but didn’t ever link it for proof.

I think the time in the screenshot lined up just before he posted it too, so that makes it highly unlikely.

Did you enjoy the show zac

Jared and Justin Laboy are how I picture the average Drake fanboy

This is the opposite of what happened. He didn’t subvert my expectations at all he did exactly what I expected - make the entire show promo for a big song instead of use the stage to promote literally anything else. Not saying he didn’t have to do it either - just that it could have been more creative if he “had to do it”

The culture the culture the cultureeeeeee

I have no idea how the people feel about this performance but i want to drop in here and say I loved it

I think it was N95 but yea same time essentially

nah real ones discovered him from

Yeah true Drake had Thank Me Later before Kendrick dropped an official debut album. But blog era had a lot of hype and Kendrick was apart of that. I’d still say Kendrick popped in 2011 with Section 80. At least to me. I never really saw them that different in success

Well admittedly I was late to the train, I had heard Swimming Pools in early 2013 and I thought it was OK but not really all that.

Then I heard GKMC in September 2013 and I’ve been a big fan ever since.

Hip-Hop fans discovered him through s*** like Rigamortis and ADHD. Casuals discovered him through Buried Alive and GKMC.

I shared all viral tweets I could find

Funnily enough I didn't even share the one you just linked, it was probably someone else who did that. But I did share some that people pointed out were ''MAGA'' folks. I didn't click on any profiles of the tweets I shared, solely shared tweets sharing their opinions on the performance

But keep lying because you are hurt bud, think I will start doing thr same

Took a screenshot of an 11 year old girl's IG
"I posted a public post that she posted"

Not really, I expected a way better performance. Wasn't bad per se but it was far from the level he had on the pop out

Bro it wasn’t promo for 1 song

It was a recap of the whole era

You wanted one thing, he did another. The subversion of expectation was for others in general who expected the usual halftime formula.
