I’m gonna actually shoot this thread up
lmao no I mean the rap game.
Oh lol,Drake being on top lowkey took rap (as an artform)backwards but technology/going viral took the business forward. Streaming era imo,is definitely one of the worst eras in rap history tho. 0 quality control and every one coming up is more on the entertainer/improv spectrum,then being an actual rapper.

why would wikipedia reference WTT as a suprise album. just why? did i write it?
Dre gave Kendrick his first big mainstream moment in hip hop
!https://youtu.be/YpugK0RpEaUBuried Alive Interlude was not a hit song or anything like that it was a Interlude. It wasn't a big song on Take Care either. As I said - Don Toliver's feature on Can't Say was a bigger Introduction of a new artist to the mainstream than that.
Hell, even Cut You Off has more views than Buried Alive Interlude thanks to Dre and K Dot's career
!https://youtu.be/ZJzr2Dsputk!https://youtu.be/QpJY1GeFMMcI see what you saying but that buried alive uploaded on someone else account
Buried alive was uploaded by drake but that was 2 years ago now

Yeah they did the fake release date thing PRIOR to to them announcing the actual release date
Which was announced a whole month before the album dropped
Aka not a surprise release
lady gaga did more for kendrick success than drake lmao
Hold your llamas now
Come again
Bro what the f*** are you talking about
wtt was literally the two biggest rappers trying to stop drake and he still outsold, got the Grammy, and proceeded to take the rap game. It’s the ultimate test and shows why drake is the goat Kendrick has NEVER had to do s*** like that. And was able to develop as an artist without the pressure drake had, yall niggas legit are insane bro
He didn’t say anything wrong for you to say all of this lol y’all are both right
To who? Section .80 had a good buzz before the feature. Rigamortis had the streets going crazy before Take Care dropped.
Most people like i said
His fame was nothing compared to the level of Drake
Drake doing that for him gave him 100x the audience he had before that
why would wikipedia reference WTT as a suprise album. just why? did i write it?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surprise_album
man who tf is wikipedia bro we was there
WOW. bro been salty for so long!
Yeah drake started beefing with ye and hov during that time cause they stole the collab album idea from him and wayne. Ye said years later they only made WTT to stop Drake from getting too big
Yeah they did the fake release date thing PRIOR to to them announcing the actual release date

I really think everyone is confused by the fact it released digitally and didn’t leak it was such a weird release at the time and the first of its kind if I’m not mistaken
Dude is ed
It’s honestly my fault for expecting Kanye stans to argue in good faith
That’s like kinda their whole thing
Most people like i said

It literally didn’t lmfao nobody ran to listen to Kendrick off a lyrical interlude fam.

I swear Drake is lebron bro LMAO like they will do anything to stop him
Y’all Niggas was not outside Lmfao bro had his own track on the most hyped album of the year wtf are you talking about
I'm not downplaying it. It is definitely a important moment for Kendrick's career I'm just telling y'all that the song didn't MAKE him
like Drake stans want it to be
love all these people acting like Dr Dre gave Kendrick his career like Dr Dre doesn't cosign a new artist every week
It literally didn’t lmfao nobody ran to listen to Kendrick off a lyrical interlude fam.
Ngl I did I heard of him before but after that I was a stan
I really think everyone is confused by the fact it released digitally and didn’t leak it was such a weird release at the time and the first of its kind if I’m not mistaken
That’s not a surprise release tho LMAO
That’s a digital only release for the first 3 days
Bro ask Drake himself if you get the opportunity. If it was that buzzing album then he wouldn't need to drop a surprise album not even an year after that and also joint album with 21
The nigga is hardworking
Seriously what's wrong with you lil llamas
It literally didn’t lmfao nobody ran to listen to Kendrick off a lyrical interlude fam.
Introduced tons of people to him its a fact u can lie if u want but it doesn't make it true
