The problem is that the entire industry tried to position him as that guy and he completely flopped in the role
hey man. i'm just looking out for the mentally ill. trying to build up good karma
It’s good to know I’ll always have an audience as long as you’re around
How is that false?
Dot “winning” the beef and then dropping not like us, pop out, gnx and super bowl all contributed to the notion that he took the mantle from drake as the commercial and perceived leader of the game
Let The Party Die outlined it
most people probably don’t even know the term Dot Era but i’m sure the average listener can feel the overall shift
Every single rapper featured on gnx…flopped
Those label mandated features on Carti’s album…flopped
His own protégé’s album…flopped
Worst stimulus in the history of hip hop. Even Cole was able to put some people on through Dreamville and features
Every single artist on OVO flops regularly
Every Drake feature in the past three years has flopped
Drake’s own protege never saw any big success until he did a collab album with him
It’s not a Kendrick or a Drake issue it’s a HIP-HOP issue
Hip-hop is not the zeitgeist right now the same way it was from 2015-2022
I don’t think he ever asked for or wanted that role honestly
The entire beef was about wanting that role what are you talking about. That’s what being the top guy gets you

Nobody with more than two brain cells ever thought Kendrick took any commercial mantle from Drake, the beef was never about that
The entire beef was about wanting that role what are you talking about. That’s what being the top guy gets you
The beef was about being the best rapper, not being the biggest artist
Kendrick never mentions anything about record sales or success on any of his tracks at Drake
Every single artist on OVO flops regularly
Every Drake feature in the past three years has flopped
Drake’s own protege never saw any big success until he did a collab album with him
It’s not a Kendrick or a Drake issue it’s a HIP-HOP issue

Don’t choke on it

It’s not even just a “feel” tbh. Hiphop media crowned him as the new king and said that Drake was dead. It’s only now that Kendrick utterly failed that they want to rewrite history about it being just a rap beef
The beef was about being the best rapper, not being the biggest artist
Kendrick never mentions anything about record sales or success on any of his tracks at Drake
In an era where rap is the biggest cultural export, the biggest rapper is the biggest artist.
Not the case anymore seeing as Dot killed that trend but case in point

Wrong lmao
And naive on top of it smh

With all due respect, the only people that feel that way are you guys.
Like Drake is still the most streamed rapper on a monthly basis, right? What is this “overall shift” the audience is feeling?

You seem to be the media illiterate one here
Wrong lmao

Quote the lyrics in the diss tracks in which Kendrick mentions anything about wanting to be a bigger artist than Drake
I responded to your post using the exact same format you used
OVO doesn’t have a single rapper in its stable and Drake has never had a protege so you’re just grasping at straws tweeting to defend Kendrick
You seem to be the media illiterate one here
If you heard those diss tracks and interpreted them as “Kendrick wants to be the bigger artist”, you need to take some sort of literacy class
With all due respect, the only people that feel that way are you guys.

I’ve seen YOU specifically say that Drake has been taking nonstop Ls since the beef. Now you want to switch up since Drake got his aura back

It’s just big me
F***ing idiot lmao

So is hip-hop media this big clown show that no one should take seriously, or are they end-all be all for what happens in hip-hop?

Now Party ain’t Drake’s protege y’all got it man
@Elemental Hit me in the dms I’ll give you a list my boy
The DMs are broken. Just post it itt since it’s all public anyway
