Can a case be made that Kendrick Lamar prevented future and metro's "like that" from being a super smash hit?

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Hear me out.

Pluto was in his bag, and if he wouldve had another verse..or maybe a verse from baby and the song would've been a summer anthem still..Future usually good at these

but Kendrick took the attention all to himself, and called out drake for the sake of his album rollout (good business strategy for his individual career)..which then turned into the drake/kendrick month that followed..and it basically buried "like that" shortly after

did kendrick low key sabotage this song from reaching it's full potential? Yea it got attention, but for the wrong reasons..it could've been way bigger as a single without the beef aspect

It was a super smash hit..

 

[Pure Water]

The song was a smash hit. It’s still top 20 on the billboard. Without Kendrick, I don’t think that song spends this much time that high.

 

[Piff Perkins]

So we've officially gone from "Like That is only a hit because Kendrick dissed Drake" to "Like That would have been a bigger hit without Kendrick."

Mind you, it's still a top 20 song in the country more than four months later.

Anytime someone starts a sentence with “hear me out.” You just know it’s gonna be some bs.
