My .02. People are downplaying how bringing Rocky and Kdot on tour elevated them. S80 was poppin before Take Care, that is a fact. 8 doobies to the face, f*** that was a popular phrase for folks 15-25
No, y’all just don’t give a f*** about hip hop period unless it’s drake involved. lol just wanna be able to say “Drake did this”. You can tell cause that’s how y’all be coming every time.
Drake stans are just non “white” identified Eminem stans
The only fan base that literally roots against artist doing well. It's almost like they don't want good music to be put out.
Couldn't reply to that dumb s*** that I quoted huh
wait what? I still never heard of that
Buried alive is literally just the outro for marvins room lol
It’s like cameras / good ones go
imma take his word for it...
https://twitter.com/abdashsoul/status/135839995117309952Drake helped but he didn’t solely make Kendrick mainstream friendly
Always thought the “drake put kendrick on” narrative was dumb, if we’re being honest I didn’t find out about buried alive until like 2017
If you didn’t listen to Take Care until 2017 I’m not gonna respect your opinion tbh
This was before Take Care and Clun Paradise
Yall think the west gave the torch to a nigga that wasn't already on
Timing of this post is great because dude a few posts above you says “dr. Dre didn’t do s*** for Kenrick”
Some of the dudes that were into rap at my college job knew Kendrick off of Hiiipower but not a single girl there knew who he was until Take Care. Then a bunch saw him during the Club Paradise tour
LNCL opened up Durk to a lot of new markets. It ain’t rocket science. It helped him but still got it out the mud with his work. Both can be true
https://twitter.com/chartdata/status/1296848940244054018That's impossible because Mad Ass Nigga told me Durk was popping in UK already we just didn't have proof until LNCL
He's already poppin in Japan, Cuba, India streets too yall just not plugged in because suburbs or whatever

Right on all points tho
Y’all got a really narrow minded view to what being ON is.
If you pay attention to the wider picture you’d see the impact it had. Durk got exposed in different markets he has no major impact in before . Now he coincidentally charts in those markets etc
https://twitter.com/chartdata/status/1296848940244054018He only charted in multiple countries because of Drake. Let's see if Durk starts having charting songs in those markets on his own.
Y’all sayin like if Dre did anything for him lol
Cole and Drake did more for Kendrick than anyone
You think Drake regret giving Kendrick that look?
He probably didn't think Kendrick would go on to be the one that ppl considered top 5 out of this era.
idk how I managed to not have knowledge of that song for so long. But I think I found out about a lot of Kendrick stuff late
Btw
That just shows you’re out of touch more than anything
Drake put a lot of people on Kendrick with Buried Alive and the Club Paradise Tour and he’s been on record saying as much
The tour I feel like more than anything else. That tour was crazy
Drake helped but he didn’t solely make Kendrick mainstream friendly
The vast majority thinks exactly that. Only a small minority actually make arguments like “Drake put Kendrick ON”. Which is funny because you will have niggas like certain posters itt endlessly b**** and moan about it in every thread.
B**** made ass niggas on this forum.
That just shows you’re out of touch more than anything
Drake put a lot of people on Kendrick with Buried Alive and the Club Paradise Tour and he’s been on record saying as much
Club Paradise tour literally set up the entire stable of who was next up
Kendrick, Rocky, French, Cole, Flocka, Meek all opened for Drake lol
The most recent example of this is Durk too which is mad crazy.
hmmm... I only started really listening to Durk after Just Cause Y'all Waited 2, which I think is one of the best hip-hop albums of all time
Obviously I listened to L's Anthem and Dis Ain't What U Want
But I can't lie I bet lotta people only gave him a chance after LNCL. It def helped
Y’all sayin like if Dre did anything for him lol
Cole and Drake did more for Kendrick than anyone
Kendrick, at the beginning of his career, isn’t getting studio sessions with Snoop, Kurupt, Pharrell, Mary J Blige, etc without Dr Dre
Not even counting the value of Dre’s ears
