how you gonna talk about “dominating a decade” and then exclude drake because you personally don’t like his music LMAO
I literally stan Drake, Take Care and NWTS are two of my favorite projects of all time
This is not about picking favorite artists, I don't even FW kendrick like that. I've listened to Drake 100x more than I've listened to Kendrick.
Jeffery Lamar Williams
Kendrick Lamar Duckworth
Coincidence? You decide
Lamar is a powerful name
How
legit doesn't make sense
it just came out in 2019 too, niggas just be talking
Yeezus was a classic TF you mean?
Yes sir, since Yeezus meaning right after it dropped, loved that album personally

No Drake stan says that all his projects from 2015 onwards are trash
Come on fam.
I Kno everyone hates Drizzy Drake
But you know damn well he ran the 2010's
also he didn't run most of the 2010's nor did he dominate
you can say he had a really strong discography but you can't really dominate without having the commercial success to back it up
thug that is
How
A mess of a tracklist.
Weak features.
Thug pushing his own sound in a commercial direction, which he doesn't have to do in the first place because he originated so much of how rap sounds today.
Not nearly as distinctive as his previous albums, sounds basically like a Slime Language project.
Production is pretty bland too. Hardly anything memorable on there.
I liked it on release but it hasn't aged well at all. I hardly replay it.
Put some respect on
One of the OG Rapper that got memed to death
And became the biggest artist somehow lol
I do agree that Thug owned the 2010s, same with Kendrick, but you don't need to blindly praise weaker projects. Talking about commercial success is different, though.
Drake, Future and Kendrick dominated then 2010s
Btw high off life was released in 2020
Future has enough classics in his discog that 1 or 2 semi decent albums won't hurt his legacy
chill
Kendrick sold this in less than a week
Drake sold this in like 1 day
also he didn't run most of the 2010's nor did he dominate
you can say he had a really strong discography but you can't really dominate without having the commercial success to back it up
thug that is
He dominated in terms of quality music
Consistent projects start to end of the decade
Fair that the start for him wasn't until like 2013, that's the only thing.
Lol if ya'll want to talk about sales and popularity then sure Drake, Future, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, etc dominated this decade.
That's not what I'm talking about though
Kendrick sold this in less than a week
Drake sold this in like 1 day
But I'm showing you that Thug's projects have lasting power?
He's easily doing 100k+ per project now, that's a huge increase for him, he's obviously only getting more popular.
Also this thread isn't about popularity/sales. I said that in OP
true
