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
this is correct. i mean s*** he was still touring midsized amphitheaters in 2014 with the drake vs wayne tour. feel like this time was kinda a transitionary phase though from old to new .
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
That’s a line from BIEH lol
Drake in 2009 was very different from Drake in 2011
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 right,Jay,Wayne & Ye were still the megastars and it was a different era,when rappers were trying to crossover with pop,unlike now,where the goal is to pop on social media,by any means necessary.
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
I think you’re severely overrating it though.
A Drake feature does not just automatically equate to your debut studio album being the longest charting hip-hop album of all time

ALL WHILE GIVING MOST OF THE THE WORLD THEIR FIRST TASTE OF KENDRICK LAMAR YALL NIGGAS NEED YALL F***ING ASS BEAT
This has to be the most attention Buried Alive Interlude has gotten since November 2011
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
Who still listens to that album fr

You’re twisting my words
Also it wasn’t just a feature it was a whole interlude
Also again I never said it was the only reason
But it certainly helped

I love that song but literally I rarely see anyone mention it and they tryna act like that’s the reason why Kendrick because Kendrick
Who still listens to that album fr
take care sounds like a relic ngl
nwts clearly more quality
CHUBBS PASS ME THE F***ING STRAP THESE TDEEEEDIOTS ARE SPEAKING ON THE BOY YET AGAIN HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH U PGLAMES A LESSON
You’re twisting my words

If you wanna say it helped, sure, but it was like less than 5% of a factor in Kendrick’s path to who he became

I I fall asleep is right
Read it again and don't latch on to certain words
I never denied it helped expose Kendrick to Drake fans that weren’t following the underground/blog scene at the time. But to say it put him on is a stretch. When GKMC dropped no one thought about that verse.

YOU ARE DELUSIONAL
Ngl I’m starting to question if some of you were actually into the genre in the early 10s. The takes itt are really saying otherwise
Okay I’m sorry the biggest rap album of the year
And the biggest rap tour of the year
Yup that's Watch The Throne
