At least I'm black.
Right. DAMN had more pull outside for Kendrick until GNX dropped. In fact that black panther soundtrack gave him a lot of running room. Minus a few big singles Kendrick’s career suffers ALOT.
Facts. Ditto. ATL was not on Kendrick in GKMC. Only people rocking with it were online blog heads and even then people didn’t really LOVE it like that. That’s why you had a bunch of people who wanted “real rap” back who placed all those expectations onto it.
I keep telling you. Cole drake and Kendrick were the only three keeping the shyt alive when the industry was dying. These were A-/B+ artists in. A C-/D+ era!

DAMN.
TPAB was pure art project shyt. Again, outside of ALRIGHT Kendrick was cold out here.
I’m not trying to take away from his artistic credibility but this is why Drake is where he is. This shyt is a business. While everyone likes to claim they’re pure creatives and what not…someone had to keep the lights on and keep shyt moving by crossing lanes and building bridges. Kendrick wasn’t doing that. Mind you, kendrick TRIED with pop cross overs but THE STREETS weren’t messing with Kendrick until this beef IMO. It started with DAMN. He gained more with the Black Panther soundtrack and now Kendrick is getting play in black clubs. Not fancy black events but STREET spots.
Lol wtf are you talking about. Love was the song people were playing the most after Humble, Element too, DNA is diamond...
Bro. That’s MAYBE 3 joints that even black radio in the south were moving. Especially even Jay z had to push rhe Vibe remix. Poetic justice had Drake. So I’ll give you swimming pools.
That’s it. Everything else was blog era hype (not saying bad) and online discourse.
If it wasn’t for SoundCloud and online mic shows, idk where Kendrick’s b-side catalog takes him.
Respectfully...NO. DAMN was far bigger than gkmc
Kendrick’s discography is GOATEDDAMN made Drake fall back. I keep telling yall. Hov was trying to get Drake outta here back then!Respectfully...NO. DAMN was far bigger than gkmc

It’s a long, tumultuous road to reach the No. 1 spot.
