Nelly Furtado walked so Dua Lipa could run

Killed your own thread with that nutty ass comparison ngl

Lupe walked so Kendrick could run.

bait

Drake walked so Rocky, Travis, Future, PND, Abel, J Cole and Kendrick Lamar could run.

He also continues to walk

Lil B -> SoundCloud Era and Beyond

trina -> city girls

Lil Kim -> Trina

I think 21 and Giveon should be mentioned to

trina -> saucy santana

lil wayne walked so drake could run

MJ > all black pop artists

Remember even during Off the Wall MJ wasn’t even considered worthy of being a cover story, nor were early singles of Thriller deemed playable on general pop radio

Oh good one

Had you been born at that point?

obviously kanye and drake

og maco for all those weirdo viral "i'm a rockstar" rappers

I would say Lorde walked so Billie could run

*Kanye

Even though they sorta came up together, imma say Cannibal Ox -> Armand Hammer

real
I remember OG Maco telling a story where XXX was talking to Maco at a festival maybe a Rolling Loud, and as they were looking at the frenzied audience of angsty teenage X fans X told him "all of this should have been yours"
sucks that Maco never really got to capitalize off the wave he started

James Brown walked for hiphop to exist

what sense does that make?
those artists don't even sound like Drake
