Why can’t that argument be made for TPAB?
WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT MAINSTREAM
THEY. DICTATE. WHERE. THE. SOUND. IS. GOING. TO. GO.
WHAT. FORUM. ARE. WE. ON. YOU. DUMMIES.
This isn’t true. If WLR flopped the sound wouldn’t have went anywhere, because the album was a risk at the time of its release
This the kind of s*** I thought they been getting at for a while sorry for going at you but this the read I got from some of them for a WHILE
and yes they did win
S*** is depressing to read black people hit us with the “ I don’t listen to rap it’s just b****es chains d**** “ logic
Literally no one said that man
It’s a mainstream sounding album that was not popular yes
There are struggling pop artists
The album can’t be mainstream if it sold 4k first week, man
IF ITS NOT UNDERGROUND ITS MAINSTREAM AND VICE VERSA IN MOST SITUATIONS
WHAT OTHER OPTIONS IS THERE
Their logic is goofy asl. They really think TPAB was a safe mainstream album and that it was always going to be successful because Kendrick is a mainstream artist.
Imagine in 2017 saying “DAMN follows up Kendrick’s previous mainstream album, TPAB”
Watch them say Section 80 was mainstream next
Section .80 was released before he got signed with the machine DUMB NIGGA.
WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT MAINSTREAM
I didn’t know you were on the side of it being mainstream brother i’m just playing devils advocate
Underground hip-hop classic...To Pimp a Butterfly
Saying something is not mainstream does not make it underground.
Again, I beg y’all to start thinking about things in color and not black and white
Section .80 was released before he got signed with the machine DUMB NIGGA.
You latching onto an obvious joke but missing the point DUMB NIGGA
Underground hip-hop classic...To Pimp a Butterfly
To Pimp A Butterfly 2015's Cold Vein when you really think about it.
Mother f*** the big 3 nigga it's just these 3
these 3 are really just Nu-Def Jux if you really think about it.
The album can’t be mainstream if it sold 4k first week, man
Bro
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SOUND OF THE ALBUMS
NOT HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY WERE
You can’t make a new definition of music for one nigga you like
Mainstream and underground are main options in what we are talking about which is delivery to your ears
Kendrick isn’t underground the end
Isn’t indie at the time we talking the end
If my mom heard the songs he mainstream and she did on the f***ing radio , commercials , black panther and more the end
Classic strawman argument
Bro made an insane leap in logic for no reason, this website man
get chappell roan on that stage
she’d complain about being big enough to be a headliner
Bro
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SOUND OF THE ALBUMS
NOT HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY WERE
Sound isn’t how mainstream is actually defined
she’d complain about being big enough to be a headliner
Chapell Roan a real one just for dissing fans tbh.
NOOOO KENDRICK
STADIUMS ARENT GOOD FOR RAPPERS THEY NEED AN INTIMATE SETTING
you can only properly experience not like us 40x in a stadium setting
Their logic is goofy asl. They really think TPAB was a safe mainstream album and that it was always going to be successful because Kendrick is a mainstream artist.
Imagine in 2017 saying “DAMN follows up Kendrick’s previous mainstream album, TPAB”

Imagine the label’s reaction after GKMC when he approached them with TPAB.
I promise you they were not ecstatic about that direction, but let these niggas tell it and that’s exactly what they wanted to hear from their rising rap star
