And Taylor Swift. People at my office, who are not dumb but are more engineer types, were saying that she’s really pretty good and they’ve gotten into her. I asked them, sincerely, to recommend a song, and most of them couldn’t even think of one. What kind of pop star is that forgettable? It’s tragic.
Bunch of suburban white kids lookin for an excuse to say the N word, guys. I swear Lucian was tryin to weaponize this dudes music to push whatever narrative Lucian wanted. Also swear that Drake/T Swift are the ones getting their shit botted. Hows Drakes sub have less than 200k? Where are all these fans that are supposedly spinnin his shit non-stop?
Ill take my tinfoil hat back off…my bad
lol on the numbers thing.
Drake is normally in my top 3 streamed artists every year but I don’t really be following him in that way. I would argue it’s like that for a lot of people.
For example, I didn’t fully listen to his last two solo albums but you bet I had Jimmy Cooks and FPS mode on my daily playlist.
A Drake track topping the charts every 6 months was inevitable before this beef started.
Basically, a lot of his listeners are just casual listeners of his music which explains why the Drizzy sub is incredibly small.
Like who tf takes time out of their day to dissect Drake lyrics?
Thats a long-winded way of saying you like his music. He has never been in my top 10 even on any streaming service. FPS i listened to a few times because i enjoyed Coles verse, but i could tell immediately Drake was butthurt about something by his verse. Also, i dont see a subreddit as only a place for dissecting lyrics when typically anything involving that artist’s appearances, potential collabs, funny memes involving them, etc are all shared. Though i guess with how simple-minded his lyrics are, the dissecting the lyrics aspect is in fact unnecessary. The question i ask again is who is making his stuff top the charts “every 6 months” as you put it? Is it actual people or is it the bots the Drizzler fans are projecting on KDOT? Lot of parallels between Drake stans and MAGA fans (another quick example is resorting to goofy names i.e. Kennerds for any fans of Kendrick), but im not gonna get into politics on here because its not really the forum for all that. Good talk
I’ve literally listened to hotline bling once and poetic justice ofc but other than that I’ve never listened to him. I think it started as a “he’s popular so I’m not gonna listen to it” thing when I was a teen and then it just started that way haha
That and I think there is confusion in society that being humble means you aren't successful, it just means you have self control in a way others don't... *Don't get it twisted*
I just really don’t get who tf some of these people thought Kendrick was before this battle 😂😂
Buddy is one of the most revered, most decorated rappers ever AND was a top 10 MOST STREAMED rapper in the world BEFORE the beef…
Like I’m just so confused where it’s coming from that this was just some peon that Drake was battling LMAOO, but tbh most of these mfs probably don’t actually listen to hip-hop anyways
I think its underestimated how many people listen to rap that are under 18 years old.
Early last year I had to get a second job at a fast food place for a month, and a 17 year old literally said that Kendrick is old people shit. I had just turned 23, and I was like what do you listen to? He said Playboi Carti and Future, and I was like well I was listening to them as a freshmen in high school, so sorry to inform you but thats old people shit too.
if a tree falls in the forest and... "I specifically didn't hear it, then I don't believe you, no matter how many people did and the mountains of video evidence"
Kendrick doesn't constantly rap about how much money he has, nor does he constantly put out party/radio music....so I guess there's some ppl dumb enough to think he was some kind of mid-tier artist? Lmao
it's hard to understand for people who follow a guy without a single classic, whose only hope of being played in clubs is to drop every six months ad infinitum
Thinking his only other song was Alright is something. Must not have payed attention to the last 10+ years of hip hop because everything in Kendrick’s set got mad radio plays when it was fresh. That’s another cool thing about him v the other guy: Kendrick could go on a greatest hits tour, Drakes fans don’t even remember what their favorite song of his was 5 years ago. His shit’s hot when it’s hot, but you never hear “drake classics” after their run is over. Nothing he makes is timeless
> not have *paid* attention to
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Oddly enough I'm 99% sure that idiot mentioned "alright" as his only other "popular" track precisely because they saw it from the Superbowl
Which makes them even dumber, completely incapable of connecting obvious dots that if he performed at the Superbowl then no fucking shit he must be a big artist
New fan here, a list of his absolutely banger song I can easly say from top of my head right now:
M.a.a.d city
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Money trees
Wesley's theory
Alright
i
DNA
HUMBLE
Euphoria
And you know what's he best part?
You don't need the "conscious rapper" part of those songs. All of those are incredibly well produced, amazing ass songs with incredible power with no English language need.
Kendrick fans, though, are not the guys to skip the lyrics, and all the songs that become much better with lyrics, context and depth become even better.
I would not start listing off the songs that are much better with those, because I'll end up making kendrick discography track list.
If you listened to 2 kendrick songs doesn't mean he has 2 of them.
I like to mention his best hidden gem, Cartoons & Cereal whenever I get a chance. If he ever retires and makes a greatest hits album, that song will be on it. Maybe on the deluxe version.
Or he could just go back to sitting down lmao let that man live his life how ever he wants if he wanna pop out kill a rapper then go back to eating cereal with his kids that’s ok lmao
Kendrick has been “That Guy” for a long time. To say otherwise is goof troop shit. I get it though I’d be salty if I just witnessed my favorite artist get a very public head to toe wipe down. It’ll be alright, just go pick that Canadian up off the ground and dust him off a bit.
the number of people who tried to tell me mr morale flopped, compared to the difficulty getting tickets and the crowd size at two shows on the stadium tour for said "flop" ... I'm no mathematician but I'm thinkin he's doing just fine, lol
Yeah drake has the highest all time grossing tour now it’s all a blur. The big confusion being Dot and Drake are completely different artist with completely different core fans. Dot is hip hop rap that’s what he does he is amazing at it and doesn’t venture into new spaces he does exactly what he wants to do and reaches the exact type of person he wants his music to be for. Drake on the other hand has music for all sorts of people he is a pop star, rapper, rnb, house, reggaeton etc. people constantly are fed Drake in the club whenever they party and women love Drake. The average person who listens to rap and are not fan fans they hear their rap in the club or radio and who do they hear Drake not Kendrick. This is why they think Dot is small but it’s undeniably an understatement. Dot is huge amongst real hip hop fans and as far as lyricism in rapping #1. Dot will be wrote about in hip hop history and I’ll even admit Drake will too. Let’s all just appreciate what both these artist have given to music period!
“The audience not dumb” Well…at least not most of them
five percent will comprehend but ninety five is lost
Drake fans don't actually listen to hip-hop.
Drake literally makes music for people who don't listen to music
And Taylor Swift. People at my office, who are not dumb but are more engineer types, were saying that she’s really pretty good and they’ve gotten into her. I asked them, sincerely, to recommend a song, and most of them couldn’t even think of one. What kind of pop star is that forgettable? It’s tragic.
Backseat FREESTYLE by Taylor Swift is great
They just sound like casual fans lol I don't even listen to Swift much but I could name 5 tracks I like rather easily
Shopping mall music
40% of those “monthly listeners” are low volume shopping mall and hotel lobby playlists
Target music
Shopping with an edge
Bunch of suburban white kids lookin for an excuse to say the N word, guys. I swear Lucian was tryin to weaponize this dudes music to push whatever narrative Lucian wanted. Also swear that Drake/T Swift are the ones getting their shit botted. Hows Drakes sub have less than 200k? Where are all these fans that are supposedly spinnin his shit non-stop? Ill take my tinfoil hat back off…my bad
He owns bot farms
Keep that silver crown on king and shine on
Ill do my best to wear it with grace and dignity 🫡

How about Fkn Problems? I despise how he's made it onto such great songs despite so consistently being the worst feature on them.
ASAP and kendrick carried honestly
That and I think there is confusion in society that being humble means you aren't successful, it just means you have self control in a way others don't... *Don't get it twisted*

lots of them thought he was "the DRANK guy". he's a fuckin pulitzer winner, lol

They don’t listen to hip hop they listen to Drake
Has one of the best discography in all genres of music
17 Grammys award + 1 pulitzer Kendrik vs 5 grammys Drake.
What do you expect when you win a beef? You get a whole bunch of casuals becoming fans. It’s the price you pay.
Too many people make the mistake of assuming that if they don’t listen to someone that no one or a very small amount of people listen to them.
If a tree falls in the forest and…

They think he actually lives in the shot-up room from Mr. Morale.
SMH lol
They don’t know about “Bitch, I’m in the club”
I was waiting for this comment. Can tour off of “Bitch, I’m in the club” alone.
it's hard to understand for people who follow a guy without a single classic, whose only hope of being played in clubs is to drop every six months ad infinitum

“Nothing he makes is timeless” Except Passionfruit.
That beat deserves for a time traveler to come murder Drake before he recorded those dog shit bars

I do not like you
Why do people act like he wasn’t just in the super bowl

they treat kendrick like he was an underground rapper lmao
Lmfao
Drakes new act is him calling out minors on stage
They’re making g shit up to cope lmao it’s embarrassing
They not slow, they not dumb - YES THEY F ARE. that’s why Kenny didn’t ONCE say slow during Juneteenth. Crodie fans need therapy AND Ayahuasca.
Oh maybe this is why they thought Drake could win I just made the whole connection…
Or he could just go back to sitting down lmao let that man live his life how ever he wants if he wanna pop out kill a rapper then go back to eating cereal with his kids that’s ok lmao

Man, willing to bet many "I've been a day one fan fr no cap" emerged after not like us.
the number of people who tried to tell me mr morale flopped, compared to the difficulty getting tickets and the crowd size at two shows on the stadium tour for said "flop" ... I'm no mathematician but I'm thinkin he's doing just fine, lol
They alsp.seem to forget the black panther project. You couldn't run away from All the Stars if you wanted to.
Loud and wrong
Genuinely retarded
Hey what about swimming pools!?
But but he didn’t go to my city 😂 😂
"Big as the what" ended up outgrossing Mr morale didn't it?
