:comeon: Kendrick drops one song using a mustard beat and all of a sudden he’s known for making regional LA sounding music…meanwhile the biggest singles from his last album were produced by noted west coast legend Boi1da, hailing from (checks notes) TORONTO CANADA …who rose to fame as “an in-house producer for Drake's OVO Sound label” according to the first sentence in his wiki bio

Kendrick has west coast sounds sprinkled all into his early works

This is like his 2nd or 3rd single right when people were starting to notice him:

So when Drake sounded jamacian or like he was from London that was normal? What kendrick did doesn't matter in a Drake thread? Or he upset you that much? But let's circle back, those accents were normal, crodie?

A half white man born in Oakland (who claims his father was a black panther) who lives in New York and has a fake New York accent talking about someone doesn’t have a regional sound is nuts

Ebro spent over a decade playing garbage music on Hot97 as the program director, he got his job stripped from him and then became a fake black panther (like his pops). He was nothing but a corporate slave for most of his career and became pro black during Ferguson. Who is he to tell people what black people want to hear?

Post some “regional” production from Boi1da. Everything I remember him from was pretty region-less and contemporary. A blend of what every one else was doing. “Best I ever had” kind of reminded me of some of the older stuff Kardinal Offishall’s used to be on. I think that’s kind of regional. What else?
