When you introduce a new era, you need a mediocre talent to set the stage, to usher it in

Kendrick is like the Jackie Robinson in the Major leagues. We knew he wasn't the best, but he's the reason black people are in the league now. He's easily digestible to the public, and especially to suburban cacs

Before Kendrick, lyricism was at the basement as far as commercial Hip Hop. Soulja Boy, Laffy Taffy, Ying Yang Twins, Jim Jones, etc etc :francis:. The bar was so low with lyricism, when Kendrick came around, he was thought of as the 2nd coming. He introduced bars to a new generation

Then after him, he opened doors for more talented Lyrical rappers to be heavily exposed to the commercial side of the game. Big companies realized again that you can put money into this type of music

Kendrick reminds me alot of this nikka




Now cause of Kendrick we got lyrical rappers getting shine. Like SchoolBoy Q, Freddie Gibbs, Lupe, King Los, LeCrae, Dave East, Game, Big Krit, Vince Staples, Meek Mill Earl the Sweatshirt, Nipsey Hussle, etc etc :blessed:


Thanks Kwame Jr :mjcry:

Drake set the bar low for hip hop FOREVER.

Dude took Ghostwriter to another level and was literally pretending to be Quentin Miller on tracks. He took quentin miller lyrics, flow, ad libs, pitch, everything. Then tried to act as if it was his shyt.

When the biggest fraud EVER in hip hop, is the top selling artist the bar has reached a new low.

Do you realize that even Soulja Boys music is more authentic than Drakes music?

Let that sink in

No.

when Lupe made his debut Kendrick was signed to Def Jam

Receipts. Even if he was signed, he was a blip on the radar, maybe a half a blip. Lupe had done countless mixtapes and probably 2/3 album before Kendrick put out his first well known mixtape. Hell J Cole had at least a 4 year leap on Kendrick.

Pretty sure Lupe opened that door in 2006-2007.

But Kendrick owns that lane now.
