This is the year that Kendrick has captured the hearts of net hiphop heads in only a way that Nas can.

They have position Kendrick as a beacon of everything righteous in hiphop.

Using him as Juxtaposition the bigger Drake gets

Just like they do with Nas.

That may be true, and I'm obviously not as big of a Drake fan as you are, but I meant the levels of smart-dumb nikkaness and the righteousness coming from keyboards, the consistent contradictions. Hate one rapper because of "subject matter" but love another who raps about the same things but is not as popular. Vicariously living through rappers and what they mean culturally then setting up the false narrative where people who like an "opposing rapper" (I guess we're still kids and can't like Kendrick and Meek Mill or something) are vicariously living through people in a nonsensical manner. Cape for capitalism against me and you in HL and TLR, but then turnaround and hate rappers for being materialistic in the next thread. At least I can say gatorking is consistent lol.

I have no idea if the Spot was like this all the time, but now I know why people hated me and the rest of those teenagers that used to stan Joe Budden. We were obstinate in that position. And above all else making the same thread over and over and over and over and over again. But I'm trying to derail @gator_king 's thread, but it's just what I remember more than anything else in hip hop this year....it even pops in in rapper interviews about the internet always on some crazy hating tip.

You didn't derail my thread.. There is no right or wrong answer...

Cut the bullshyt nikkas was feeling Kendrick way before his so-called beef with Drake. Even way before gkmc dropped.
Same as with NaS. nikkas didn't start feeling him until he beefed with Jay
He had stans before then. He sold 450,000 in I Am's first week with fukkin NaS Is Like as the lead single. That's called having stans.
I guess IWW went double plat because people hated Jay during his debut album fukk outta here with that bullshyt

 

[Pool_Shark]

Guccis twitter meltdown

Miley Cyrus MTV moment


Kanye vs the paparazzi/Yeezus promotion

Good flopping

Drake making Migos hot

 

[Pool_Shark]

Aye what about 50 cent completely and totally flopping with My Life, a primetime roll out featuring two of americas biggest pop stars and America said NO!

Jay-Z with the Samsung commercial during the NBA Finals...

The polarized response to Yeezus..

Lil Wayne on his death bed..(that was this year right?)

Y'all nikkas need to stop making the-coli, which is essentially a minute niche on the internet, warp your views on popular culture in general. Kendrick's Control verse was pretty easily the seminal event of 2013. You could take the internet out of the equation, which would be silly, an that would still be the case. Radio, television and print media was soley focused on that verse for a minute. The only thing that comes close event-wise was the hype and release night/day of MCHG.

Yeah I was listening to sports talk radio and Artie Lange had an hour segment on the Control verse.. It was definitely bigger than message board dialogue..

Phil Jackson tweeted about the verse A lot of the things we talk about on here are lucky to survive the 24 hour hip hop blog news cycle. When you factor all of the response tracks/response interviews and then the carry-over to the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher(which itself wasn't a transcendant event), the Control verse is pretty undeniable.

 

[Big Mel]

Artie talked about 'control'?????

 

[PHamm]

Hell no.

Control was internet hype, group think and corniest all rolled on one.

Drake Stanley's grasping for straws at this point
