Just like how Graduation did and you seen the type of albums that came out afterwards, I think DAMN created the same effects but to a lesser extent. After DAMN we seen other TDE rappers put out albums to the similar style like Redemption and Crash Talk, with other artists like Krit and Cole putting out albums with more of a mainstream sound.

you might be on to something. wouldn't call it pop rap but a more mainstream appeal

I disagree

No

It made spiritual miracle rappers use plug 808s and autotune

yall really judge that album cause of it's singles and it's annoying. Give me a 'pop rap' album which have songs like FEAR., PRIDE, DUCKWORTH, LUST

Definitely was a shift post-DAMN so you might be onto something

Literally half of the album had mainstream appeal

Absolutely not

Honestly if I think about it Kendrick is a lot more influential than we think

DAMN is pop rap?

Kendrick made it acceptable for the lames like Cole to make music with a mainstream appeal

Like sheep they follow

my thoughts exactly

HUMBLE, and LOVE. only rest of the songs were successful but it don't mean they got mAiNsTrEAm aPPeAl

op came with the facts

stfu

Cole's sound has become less and less mainstream since FHD

Not even dissing DAMN, classic album imo

No lmao
Didnt cole make pop rap way before that

If he did, then f*** him

Garbage ass albums

kendrick invented

KOD was definitely a step back towards pop-rap Cole

No?
