Couldn't even stick to rappers and came up with 9 people. ATL is like the rap capital of the country and even some of those guys are going there to do their albums or work with artists. They have regularly produced top rappers and producers this century. You're naming people from Seattle and Australia. Can you name a second artist from those places? Macklemore hasn't done s*** in 10 years. Mac Miller is dead and his sales were tanking album to album.

This is actually false. Post Malone is actually a much bigger album artist than Kendrick. He charts 3 albums every week and he has 2 5x Platinum albums and 1 3x Platinum album. In comparison, Kendrick has only 1 3x Platinum album.

for his sake he better hope not

he will get more hate than macklemore

Just wait til Kendrick drop that album

Everyone loves him.

They're mainstream acts. Numbers are their main arena of competition and the only one that really matters to them and in that arena, none of them come close to Drake.

Not to add to the fact its based on the single yesterday that did well when's he's dropped others that flopped recently. Like saying 24kmagic bout to get higher first week sales

I think he can be

but as of 4/9/2022? Nah.

It would take an incredible first week jump and a massive single and so far sonically, Nail Tech and First class is not that I don't think.

Where has Jack proven that he can be a box office tier 1 commodity like Lil Baby?

You must be stopped

What happens if Jack's next album is bigger than Lil Baby's album?

Don't do my good bro Logic like that. Might as well put cole there they got the same fanbase

Yeat dropped two cool projects and fell off with his debut record. Tragic

Their lanes are different though.

Kendrick was/is a conscious rapper who's mainly an album artist and associated with rap skill and lyricism.

Post Malone is a marketable White hybrid rapper who churned out crossover hits his whole career and isn't even associated with rapping like that.

There's a reason people never talked about Post taking Kendrick's spot in hip hop except as a meme or joke.

It's the truth lol. Post Malone debuted in 2015 and ranked higher than Kendrick in these:

just because you only conceive of art through numbers doesn't mean everyone else does

Nah, he’s pretty manufactured. Other than what’s poppin? Idk any other Harlow song that really warrants the hype that he’s getting

added iggy azeala (australia)

There's so many rappers in ATL chance of having same success as these white people im their perspective years is slim. Even the white dude who did astronaut in ocean had a top 5 hit and is from australia.

then the white guy who did roxanne song.

But they're both mainstream acts. Yes, Post Malone is a lot more hit-driven than Kendrick but Kendrick is also a mainstream artist. GKMC/DAMN are both mainstream/accessible rap albums. Not to talk of the many pop features Kendrick has done.

King

I don't only conceive art through numbers. I'm saying mainstream acts compete mostly on a commercial level.

Then we can talk.

Clearly not him.

Man, if Jack Harlow takes Lil Baby's spot

A white rapper is always going to be viewed as more marketable, that is facts. A dark skinned Drake isn’t nearly as big. Yeat stole Carti’s whole style and does it worse and he could become a bigger artist. Post is a dusty dirty looking white boy and people calling him marketable lol

Who asked you
