He wasn’t the biggest rapper in 2011????????
Take Care debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 631,000 copies, becoming Drake's second number-one album.
631,000 people that never knew of Kendrick got a 3 minute sample of his music that week
Thats not including the people who pirated the album as well
In more important news Frank Ocean’s (repped by @Vibe) first ever KTT VZ is on 4/16 against The Weeknd (repped by Kdoggy)!

Thank you
There are numerous artists who have been featured on Drake projects who haven’t even seen 10% of the success Kendrick has achieved.
Also, in 2011, Drake was very far from the “biggest rapper of all time”
RT lmfao yo what the f*** are ppl on man
They talking like a 3 minute interlude on Take Care is the reason why good kid, m.a.a.d. City is the longest charting hip-hop album of all time
Thank you
Like yes he would’ve been successful regardless
But acting like that didn’t help is so disingenuous
No but being given your own interlude on the biggest rapper of all time’s album certainly helps
Drake wasn’t even thought of the biggest rapper of THAT time when that album came out let alone of all time. His rebrand got ya rewriting history.

You're ignoring the point
Yeah u wasnt alive in 2011 confirmed
And yeah drake was absolutely huge in 2011

Ngl to you I'm surprised Drake made it out of this era popular
Which song was bigger, Buried Alive Interlude or The City by The Game?
Well you could be making the game song up so

Okay I’m sorry the biggest rap album of the year

If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 535,000 album-equivalent units.
535,000 people that never knew of PARTYNEXTDOOR got a 3 minute sample of his music that week.
Less than 10% of those people checked out his next album.
In other words, a feature on a Drake album does not guarantee nor directly lead to the success Kendrick Lamar has seen
And yeah drake was absolutely huge in 2011
He was absolutely huge in 2009 and 2010 too
He already had the power by 2011
And yeah drake was absolutely huge in 2011
Yeah but he could have flopped then and there
When my album drop, b****es'll buy it for the picture
And niggas'll buy it too and claim they got it for they sister
Yeah u wasnt alive in 2011 confirmed
Wayne and Ye werent bigger than Drake? I was outside 2011 Drake Was big but it didn’t catapult Kendrick into the spotlight. Most niggas who weren’t following underground rappers at that point didn’t even know his name

Yes every listener who bought/pirated the album didn’t know who Kendrick Lamar was. Ard

Yeah you could argue that PND didn’t capture the opportunity given to him like Kendrick did
Dude from the beginning I’ve said that it wasn’t the only reason Kendrick was successful
