Hip hop journalist DJ Akademiks tells Adam22 that Kendrick Lamar is the reason west coast hip hop has not progressed

only people saying this lame shyt is people who dont like kendrick

 

[Hood Critic]

And how far exactly have these guys made it? Lol

All these guys you listed outside Ty$ (and ironically he got a kdot feature) are still really only local artists after years of work. Problem in particular has been rapping for over 10 years now and still hasn't seen mainstream bread. California has always been a bubble that is hard to break out of for emerging artists.

A single Kendrick feature right now with how hot he is can change one of these guys careers and get them a mainstream look that goes beyond California.

You have 100% no idea what you're talking about...y'all have actually evolved past d*ck riding, it should be studied.

Like Tyga hasn’t been holding the west coast of for years now

Not true . I even saw figmunity discussing it

 

[jwinfield]

Kendrick's a piece of shyt, giving a bunch of local artists a set on the most watched concert stream in Amazon's history and a bunch of viewers on Twitch too

I'm sure Like What and the couple looks he got back then from Wiz and whoever completely invalidate my opinion lol

You Kenny stans are bigger dikk riders than anyone else. Can't take any criticism.

Tyga ain't wait until a rap battle over 10 years into his career to work with Mustard

First kendrick needs drake to blow up

Now the west coast needs kendrick to blow up

So which is it, OvHoes? Is Dot one of the biggest rappers right now or only big in LA?

 

[RickyDiBiase]

EXACTLY


Once people really understand this they won’t be so up in arms about anything dude says. He’s a court jester. Damn near a sit-down comedian. Nothing the man says is to be taken seriously he should only be watched if you want a good laugh.

Him dying of a stroke would be funny af.

The crazy thing is wouldn't rather have a platform like the Pop Out to perform your hits and new shyt rather than just a single that might not even blow up like that.

Look at the Camilla Caballo (I think I fukked it up) songs she dropped with Drake, even with Drake, them shyts went double plastic and shyt.

 

[Hood Critic]

Perfect example of how we know y'all are delusional in real life. Y'all really believe Drake was helping other artist rather than trying to pull inspiration from them and ride their wave for his own benefit. Then y'all mad Kendrick won't do the same.

 

[Ku$h Parker]

You're not being serious. Every single one of those artists has ambitions to be more than just a local artist.

I mean sure they want that YG/Nip Level of Fame where theyre known Coast to Coast & to Carry that Cali Torch but youre acting like because they didnt get there despite being shown to Millions on a Major Event is a Failure and even YG & Nip were Local Stars before they Leveled Up

Look at the Camilla Caballo (I think I fukked it up) songs she dropped with Drake, even with Drake, them shyts went double plastic and shyt.

Meanwhile That Weeknd dude been gettin by well after not signing to OVO after Take Care

No one cares about Kendrick unless he's connected to Drake, but he's got the sole power to create a new era of the West Coast running rap.

Tyler The Creator could really use that Kendrick Feature rn
