Like what?

thug for example lol

I dont think its their responsibility & i’d say both drake and kendrick have done so in a variety of ways. Both have their own careers and legacies to worry about & also its the artist they work withs job to capitalize on the opportunity

Cole's song with Thug is one of the most successful things Thug has ever done by a landslide and Thug has shouted him out for it

Hot is bigger than the london and they on the same album

Yeah anything with Travis is gonna be bigger than Cole most of the time

Which Travis has helped a lot too as I mentioned in my comment after

i dont think thats putting thug on though he was already relevant and had hits before both so much fun era imo

Oh my fault I was moreso saying as in ways of big rappers helping in major ways

I think the idea of "putting on" if they're not signed to you is some falsehood internet s*** or manipulation to indebt a nigga to you

Like Drake helped Kendrick and especially Rocky a lot or even Migos and so on but he didn't "put them on" - they already had situations and going to majors that they were gonna be big regardless even if it wasn't "as" big initially, but would still be mainstream - Drake tho does have two with BlocBoy and Makonnen of artists that little to nothing going on prior (even tho not much happened afterwards can be said as a caveat)

But overall part of my other thing that its such a debate w**** tactic that isn't even true as people online make it up to be

I get u now tho, although I think the literal conversation of topic is dishonest and nitpicky asl

So its not enough for Dot to put out great music to inspire the next generation?

Not every rapper has to pull artists up.

lol

Absolutely

man I wish someone taught me how to fish

This is arguably one of the reasons hip hop feels dead. In the past artists made successful groups and labels that perpetuated success for decades. Now everyone just keeps to themselves and thats why u dont see anyone passing the torch

@KendrickLamar @Drake Please put me on! I collect Funko Pops and freestyle!

Literally who are they going to put on and pass the baton to lol

I never understand where this idea came from that rap stars have an obligation to “put people on”

I don’t even think that sort of thing exists prominently in other genres

Damn...

And ScHoolboy Q. You watch any interview with anyone from TDE and you'll realize how much he did for them behind the scenes for a decade.

Mos tell me you heard the new Mos Def x Souleyman x Gorillaz
