He's not independent. He's been on Interscope since before Acid Rap.
Those guys were ridiculously talented and it was obvious.
Also, they honed their craft for YEARS behind the scenes. As it should be. Why put out garbage when you can work out most of the kinks in your basement?
that's what makes it all the more pathetic. He literally didn't pop until Dre showed up. With the Def Jam machinery and struggle mixtapes, still....no one gave a fukk till Dre. That's how you know a dude is actually trash.
Anyway, we've established that Kendrick's comeup is nothing like Snoop's, so at least there won't be any more struggle comparisons.
Duckworth stans rush to compare Kendrick to greats of generations past; then when you bring up the enormous holes in their struggle-arguments, they start saying: "but the times were different."
Which one is it?
mind you, I am on your side. But understand that Dre showed up much earlier than you think and still no one gave a fukk about Kendrick
.this is Dre coming out to a Kendrick show before Section 80.
MegaTronBomb!
Power is in my hair nikka
It's people like you that buy into this type of fukkery........ a dope paradigm shift
At least people who enjoy wrestling can admit to it's fukkery
mind you, I am on your side. But understand that Dre showed up much earlier than you think and still no one gave a fukk about Kendrick

Define "much earlier". Correct me if I'm wrong, but that video was at most a year before Section 80 came out. Whereas Kendrick had gone several years in total obscurity.
The reality is that Dre's part was massive. No one heard about Kendrick till Section 80. and Dre showed up right before then. That's plant shyt.
What label is he signed to?
What label signs an artist and let's them release nothing but free music? He keeps all his show money so tell me how the label profits?
He's signed to Spike Lee
Just give up and admit he's indie. He's showing new artists how to win without an outdated label structure.
It is not a paradigm shift. The labels are pushing a facade that is bad for your average artist.
The same reason Ebro wouldn't just tell this kid; you want your records to be played, you have to be signed to a major label.
Is the same reason Chance is pushed as "Indy."
He is not.
His dad worked for Obama's campaign, didn't think this was a 'secret'.* Supposedly "independent" artist is commissioned by ESPN to do the Ali tribute at the ESPY's
*Mixtape guest appearances has the biggest artists in the industry
*Commissioned by the White Sox to design another team logo.
*Is one of the few rappers to perform on "Ellen"
*Shown to be pals with Obama, Beyonce', Gwen Stefani.

You do know that Look out for Detox, came out before Section 80 did right?
Kendrick was never obscure. He just didnt matter to the masses. In 09 everyone was overshadowed by Drake and Wayne. Kendrick even had a mixtape rapping on all of Wayne's beats in an attempt to get a buzz. Plus Jay Rock was supposed to be TDE's breakout around that time. He was signed to Warner in like 07 or 08.
The argument isn't about him being traditionally signed. Of course he's not.What label is he signed to?
But, he's also not some example of "not needing the corporations" as if he's pushing these joints out of his crib and his homies are setting up deals with Kit-Kat and setting him up with Barack Obama.
Are we really gonna play this game?Serious hip hop fans hadn't even heard the name "Kendrick" till HiiPower came out (and that's largely because it was a Cole beat)
already posted that.
