Yes it is. I don't get it.
We all know he didn't write his rhymes, and that he co-produced. But who gives a fukk about all that. Damn near everything the man touches turns to platinum. You gotta respect that.

Section.80 or OD were not big records and most people have never even heard of them, certainly not BET's or MTV's audience. And the only people giving him those grandiose comparisons have been teenagers and die-hard stans, mainly on the internet.
Nobody with a good knowledge of music thinks Kendrick Lamar is on Pac's level.
If you don't think 90% of Kendrick Lamar's hype comes from his association with Dre and Interscope you are
You forget NYC in 01-03 was still top dog at the time? 50 was the biggest unsigned artist on the east coast no debating. 50 and G-unit had more Buzz then any crew not named Roc-a-fella or Murda Inc.
Wanksta was already a hit from a MIXTAPE before he signed to Shady/Aftermath and they put it on the 8mile soundtrack.
Did they give him more buzz and more exposure of course but to act like 50 wasnt already well known by that point is crazy
BTW that cosign aint do nothin but have people who was late check out his recent mixtapes and the G-unit tapes. He had so much fire on them tapes NOBODY was checking for POTD
Dude has been signed since forever, this is not some dumb oh I got a new artist ill treat him like my tool.
You can breakdown a lot of thing Kendrick has taken advantage of from Aftermath
Just like Cole with the roc or Drake with CMM. You've got the street old school style like Ross or the new school smooth style.

I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
50 wasn't big (outside NYC anyway). He had a nice little buzz though. He got big after in the club took off.

Game's buzz was built on the fact that Dre had finally signed another west coast artist & one from Compton at that
C'mon let's be real. Kendrick would've sold 75k the first week without Dre if he was lucky. You nikkas forget how big of a co-sign that Dre is. It instantly gets every radio station to play your songs, it gets all the magazines to interview you. It gets you a country wide sponsored tour. They spent money on Kendrick. And Kendrick been with Dre since late 10, even if it wasn't announced.
50 would've gone gold without that EM/DRE co sign -- no way he does the numbers he did without the EM/DRE co-sign. In Da Club spun like no other -- shattered records for how much it spun. Dre and Iovine know what they doing. they may not always hit. But when they do, it's successful.

The Dr. Dre music family tree is the greatest in music.
TDE put in work before Interscope, just as Eminem had in the underground, just as 50 Cent had in the mxitape circuit and so forth. But Aftermath takes things to another level.
Dre might not have had a beat, but that says good things about him. He exec produced it and obviously had a role, and obviously did the mixing, but his lack of producing for the album says he gave Kendrick full control, and allowed for Kendrick to decide what's best for his own album.
Salute to Dre.
