    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

    Is this actually something that people thought outside of Toronto

    Drake 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”

  • Dec 26, 2021

    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/1296848940244054018

    That'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

    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/1296848940244054018

    He 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

  • Dec 26, 2021

    Randomly make up s*** to change the narrative, seek help.

  • CLB Realfam2007

    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

  • Dec 26, 2021
    internet buddy

    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.

  • CLB Realfam2007

    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

  • A Mad Ass Nigga

    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

    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

  • 925Andrew

    Name a time Durk has been bigger than right now though?

    Durk has also made his best music now tho. Like Just Cause Y'all Waited and The Voice are s***ting on like everything else in the last couple years in my opinion
