This is what @fader was saying. He doesn’t mean mainstream as in artist but Kendrick knew the content wasn’t something that his broader fan base would want to hear necessarily

Choosing to do Super Bowl but not Coachella is interesting I didn’t say bad I didn’t say good I said interesting and I said it surprised me he wouldn’t take it while he popping but I fully understand the why

I don’t feel like making every post a paragraph when many including yourself have bad faith reads so I kept it short
I want Kendrick at Lolla but if he declined coach he may decline Chicago too and have a focus on his own stuff and say no to all festivals unless it’s camp flog or his own

Which is what I’m guessing the why ? I think he may want to distance from artist and industry owned artist as he reflects the words of let the party die so he stops supporting these lineups filled with controlled opps

Why do you think it’s wrong

Insane opinion

THE MUSIC HE DROPS IS MAINSTREAM WHAT IS UNCLEAR

Thank you for being the only one in here with common sense

Kendrick is not MF DOOM

still mainstream artist dropping jazz/funk music.

the same way yeezus was still a mainstream artist dropping a type of music that divided a fanbase until niggas started jacking it.

Cause y'know, that's what ye used to be great at. Telling niggas what the new sound was gon' be. @fader

It’s mainstream in the sense that a mainstream artist created it, but that’s as far as it goes

Edit: nvm, thought you said TPAB. I’m half asleep

So you think an album like TPAB was made for the radio?

You think Mr. Morale was made with Spotify playlists or Billboard charts in mind?

That’s great and while true it’s still the definition of mainstream music

No it’s not

y'know what, this is a good way of looking at this tbh.

King Kunta was a party staple in Cali.

Nice job naming one song

Nigga songs got radio play and he performed it on Ellen

SNL
Colbert

And more

There are actual underground artist that exist

TPAB is not a mainstream album what is this discourse

^the single that demographics everywhere else clowned on lol.

These niggas have lost their minds bro

TPAB got ripped to shreds for YEARS because it wasn’t mainstream

“No replay value”

I be forgetting niggas on here didn't have parents that reveled in the times where funk and jazz was popular so of course they look at TPAB as Madvillainy.

It’s coming from a “trust me” source, so strike one. And strike two, any reports that have been put out about bro from “official” sources have never been right (still waiting on that Rock album, or maybe the horror album)

I be forgetting that niggas on here have zero common sense

I know.

I was on KTT1 nigga.

I was in the trenches telling niggas how my campus we bumped hood politics and these walls and Alright REGULARLY.

Keep dat s***

Of course it is
