I also don’t think anything he’s doing is wrong I just find it hilarious yall not just callling it for what it is it’s ok brah

GKMC had hits
DAMN. had hits
Black Panther had hits

The f*** is you talking about?

May 2025 and niggas still acting like Kendrick Lamar wasn’t a certified hitmaker before 2024

Nah cause y'all be tryna act like DAMN. era ain't exist. He been on the same s***

Did anyone expect DAMN. after TPAB? Hell naw. Y'all niggas said he too woke to make hits and he dropped some ignorant s*** that slap to show niggas that he still who he is and from where he from. And he was bigger than drake that year. Now he do the same s*** from Morale to GNX and y'all niggas wanna act like it's new cause y'all got selective memory.

Only new s*** he on really on now is jewelry and he been on that since Morale.

niggas stay talking about being outside all the time, yet claim they’ve never heard a single Kendrick song out in the real world lol

You’re not calling it for what it is. You’re just trying to cope. Kendrick dissed Drake because he felt he is a b**** ass nigga who had been sneak dissing him for the better part of 10 years.

All this “Kendrick dissed him cause he was jealous of Drake” is just you being a stan and tryna leave with something on some “yeah Drake his ass handed to him but I can at least find some solace in the fact that he only did it cause he was jealous of Drake” type s***.

Niggas laughed at him for making that TPAB/UU jazz and funk influenced music, they laughed at him for taking five years off and dropping a “therapy” album but suddenly he’s wanted what Drake had for years despite his catalogue being on some other s*** lol

The worst (or funniest) thing from this battle has been seeing all the cope and narratives pop up from them boys

Nah brah damn the closest thing to what Gnx is idk why yall being dense

I mean he started it

It's legit the same story lmao. They can't fathom a nigga just having different sides (a Gemini at that) cause they been fed the same s*** for however many years

I’m telling u bro damn is the closest thing to GNX and it’s lowkey at this point not coming close to how insane Gnx is brah there was no Gatorade commercials with the 4th best song on the album like I’m actually complimenting Mr Lamar

Damn era Kendrick had a coretez with Nike that absolutely flopped, if he had the energy he has now they would been a hit that’s what I’m saying. Damn is the CLOEST to Gnx but this era a whole different thing, he’s the number 1 rn. Not even he really really really good #2 (damn era)

Rap is so much bigger than it was in 2017 bruh so what

Niggas talking like Kendrick was west side gun level before the beef and not one of the biggest stars in music

It's so much easier to get brand deals and partnerships now because of how much rap and black culture has taken over the social media zeitgeist. Wasn't like that in 2017. Of course the biggest niggas gonna get the craziest deals

He’s NEVER been this big like I think what yall keep misinterpreting is that when I say hits bro damn is the only era comparable andnits not as big as this. Plain and simple bro he’s having his most mainstream #1 option moment in his career. I think damn was him fake doing it but not going full in on the bit.

600k vs whatever more life did. Humble still only the second double diamond rap song. He didn't fake anything bruh lmao

Totally bud

You also have niggas like ye who kinda f***ed that up moving forward, that’s why dot is so perfect for rn because he has edge but he’s extremely trustworthy to sponsor

Just the year prior to this beef he went on a world tour which was like the second or third largest grossing rap tour of all time. And that was off an album that wasn’t that commercially strong like people expected it to be.

Kendrick taking that 5 year break really made people forget who he was.

When did I say he faked anything lmao I mean like damn era Kendrick was still like kinda ugly lmao dot done got cute now and he can actually dress that’s what I’m saying. He’s leaning (rightfully so) into being a superstar in the way he never did before. Damn felt like yea I can do this too, GNX was like nah nigga I do this

Do u get what im saying lol

Fck it...week 13 let’s finish strong

Well every rapper from the era we grew up in went on tour in that 2 year time span and broke that record multiple times. Nigga it’s dot on tour after a five year break with covid included. But niggas was not in that crowd ready to hear n95 bro. Why do yall not wanna admit dot has gone full send this era bro it’s not a bad thing

Also let’s be real when we found out humble did that no one expected it lmaooooo like no one waking down the street would think the biggest rap song ever is humble. But because of this era oh yea anyone would believe NLU was. I just feel like he’s never been this culturally ubiquitous there’s no way you think it’s always been like this

half of the tracks been around for like a year.....weird era right now. its been a while since labels had this much control over the charts.
