Probably not, however he was making it popular around the time. Whether you like it or not the nigga was becoming one of the go to guys for the hip-hop/house fusion s***.

Could people have gone to someone like Cakes da Killa back then? Absolutely. I feel like people wanted to really love Azealia Banks but...well I mean we know what's up with Azealia Banks lol but Goldlink was there was getting the Soulection backing, working with known and popular electronic and dance music producers like Jordan Rakei, Tom Misch, Joe Kay, and Brasstracks. And of course getting the Rick Rubin co-sign and exec production look.

Goldlink ain't invent the sound, but he was clearly being propped as the go-to artist for the sound. To deny that is lying to yourself.

To this day I'm still positive Goldlink's issue wasn't necessarily Mac biting him. It was more that Mac made an album inspired by his sound after being close with him and bringing him on tour, and not even reaching out to have him help on the project. Ion know man. That's a pretty valid reason to be upset with a friend in music over.

Really the only thing Goldlink did wrong was waiting until Mac was dead to say anything. He wasn't wrong for feeling how he did and neither was the message. The timing of the message however was the only thing that was wrong

the sound was already somewhat popular and the truth is goldlink didn't take it anywhere it wasn't already. he basically ditched the sound on the next album to get his biggest hit lol. he was being propped as that guy for that sound but the truth is he just wasn't. The sound was always there and anyone paying attention to music knew about it. Goldlink shouldn't act like a gatekeeper

Its probably genuine but as someone who was a fan of goldlink when god complex first dropped he just kind of a b****. he just comes off super pretentious and doesn't have the talent to back it up. always got solid production and features but he himself is just kinda lack luster. he can ride a beat these days but thats about it.
