that was shocking for me to see because the big three (and even other big artists at the time like wale, big sean, thug, travis etc) all had great co-signs and machines behind them. much better circumstances than the most artists are in lmao

Let’s say what you’re saying is true

He had to grind from point zero to the point of Section 80

Overly Dedicated would have been the project to try and do this with but you already made this dumb thread so you lose

Kendrick and Cole had 3-4+ years of making music and gaining a decent fanbase where they weren’t publicly connected to Dre Jay

We literally only like Lone and Ken out of all the Carti clones because they have the Opium stamp and they probably were not making music that was gaining them fans in 2017-2018.
Cole literally got his beat tape ignored by Hov, Kendrick went thru like a 6-7 year period with a whole different stage name before Section 80 and GKMC,

Drake could maybe be counted as somewhat of a plant because I do remember seeing his vid on TeenNick when I was super young before the Wayne s*** and ransom is the moment I found out about him

You are so f***ing stupid. What a disrespectful ass statement. The nigga grinded his way to the positions that he earned.

The fact that you only are using his career starting at when he was already 6-7 years in the game let’s me know how much you don’t know what the f*** you’re talking about

Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper of all time

This nigga stupid and it’s sad he even got a Wayne avi. Nigga started at S80 as his reference point and don’t realize how Kendrick was still so unknown. Probably don’t even know he got Wayne to bless C4 cause Rock was opening for him at the time. Niggas don’t research, just talk out their ass

Cole could slick be a plant, but even then it’s hard to say. was really good friends with niggas who was in Ye’s entourage, went to the same barbershop as Ye and was in that Dave Chapelle homecoming doc. He’s also in a music video from around that time

Every time you click a thread and it’s this op you know you just gotta click away

same as lil baby but folks get mad at that cuz industry plant only applies to artists they dislike

Kendrick made "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst", he ain't no damn industry plant.

thread completely flew over your head
