Passed on Coachella but does Super Bowl for free
Interesting
He already did coachella
You niggas have lost it
HE ISNT AN UNDERGROUND ARTIST
Mainstream rap is music by artists who are under contract to a record company and can be heard on the radio
we're not being dense.
we're on the site of one of the biggest mainstream acts that believed in dictating where the mainstream was gonna go, not follow it.
Was Yeezus mainstream? yes or no?
At the time obviously not
Not being a caricature of black culture doesn’t mean you aren’t mainstream because you aren’t reinforcing a stereotypical view of rap
Who the f*** said any of these words
Why are you niggas being so dense
Kendrick is one of the biggest artists in the world, of course his album is gonna be 3 times platinum
That doesn’t make the damn album mainstream
No one in their right mind listens to TPAB and Mr. Morale and thinks those are two albums that were made for mainstream audiences
Kendrick is a mainstream artist. His music debuts top of the charts, is reviewed by all the major publications, gets play on the radio, etc
I think a better way to put what you’re trying to say is the album features music that wasn’t as accessible as previous works but it was still a mainstream album
Passed on Coachella but does Super Bowl for free

The NFL does not pay Super Bowl halftime performers an appearance fee.
You realize corporations pay hundreds of millions of dollars to have their ads appear during the Super Bowl right?
If you have a machine and record label behind you
You are mainstream
They are putting you in the stream and marketing you
You aren’t indie you aren’t underground
No matter your subject matter or production you are mainstream
Your cd being sold in target be for real
Passed on Coachella but does Super Bowl for free
Interesting
From a strictly commercial artist standpoint it is the most logical and unsurprising decision
Plenty artists perform at cochella very few do SB
All the other moral implications attached to it don’t exist here
are they sold out on a consistent basis off his name alone?
is he headlining said venues?
Is he an opener?
The one I go to in ATLANTA is always packed. It’s various calypso bands and his band headlined and it’s like 5k people.
He does it in Houston, charlotte, Miami, cali and nY

Kendrick being a mainstream artist does not mean every single song or album he releases is for the mainstream.
That goes for any artist

I never said Kendrick wasn’t a mainstream artist
Everything Kendrick related has been wrong including Tanna I’ll just wait for pgLang, Dot or Dave next move. There are no sources

All of what you say in this post I know . What about my post where I state he does Super Bowl for free and passed on Coachella interesting indicates I don’t know what you say in this post
Weeknd paid to do Super Bowl
I know nigga
My sister had an ad in the Super Bowl I know nigga
I went to Glastonbury and Kendrick smoked it and it had about 70 k watching his set live
You went to Glastonbury?? legendary performance
Kendrick is going to reveal the true identity, origin, and fate of Wallace Fard Muhammad at the Super Bowl
How many times can information about an artists come out wrong before we stop doing this

touche
in all fairness (from what I see in nyc calypso/reggae shows), there's way more of a national support to always come out regardless of who's name is attached to the bill
part of this is also my ignorance, I was at an anime fete once and we had live performers and the s*** was packed...but none of the island friends I was with knew who any of these niggas was
