@BelovedBone@HipHopAllDay Pop or not it’s still the better album and obviously aged better. Hiphop is dead, it’s now niche. Drake is bigger than hiphop
@Jayray0xvp@DreamChildKoLo He wasn’t. I only knew who Kendrick was because I was producing beats for him and Jay rock in 09. He wasn’t big until drakes help
people don’t know this but Drake and his producer T-Minus gave Kendrick the swimming pools record too because they wanted to see him shine.
@Emm_y27 Yes. See how easy that was to acknowledge? kendrick has real evidence of botting. 200MM streams vanishing. That’s not a glitch
And yes Drake did it organically and has been doing this his entire career and didn’t need Taylor swift to give him his first #1
@ghost09867 Kendrick fans are reaching for hypotheticals because they cannot cope with objective reality, this is a mental illness and not even funny anymore I feel so sad for people like you tbh.
@Aursonta Take Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, or early Kanye West. Their music still connects with people decades later because great music doesn’t require “comprehension. They “just don’t comprehend Jay-Z” is a pretentious cop out. You want intellectualism read a damn book.
@Aursonta Jay-Z’s music was built for a specific cultural moment. Younger listeners aren’t failing to comprehend it..they just think the music sucks. Legacy and relevance aren’t the same thing. If a work needs its original context to resonate, its influence may outlast its appeal
@drearetas The genre is dead, that’s the whole beef. Drake grew bigger than hip hip
It’s like the guy who made it out of the hood now everyone back home is hating and praying for his downfall
@AllRapTakes Make the whole world shake?? This is only being talked about in a very niche rap community, outside of that no one cares. As much as I love hiphop. It’s dead, it’s had its time but the world doesn’t care anymore
people don’t care about the artists dissing drake as much as they care about the spectacle of drake losing
prolonged dominance stops being judged neutrally. Success turns into fatigue, turns into resentment, and then ppl start treating your downfall like cultural correction
