Kai Cenat plays Runaway on piano, Glorilla doesn’t recognize it, comments say “the South wasn’t listening to Kanye”

[It's_Nade]

For everybody mentioning her age: Kai is younger than her yet he knows it, so that can't be the reason.

Kai a Yeezus fan though

 

[Sad Bunny]

How was he past his commercial peak in 2010 for MBDTF?

Yes. Graduation was his commercial peak.

Graduation sold double the first week of MBDTF.

10-11 yrs old she wasnt listenin to no kanye .. maybe pretty boy swag.. hard in the paint ..allllll the wayyyyyyyyy turnt up

Much more likely that she was listening to this and not 8Ball & MJG and random Yo Gotti mixtapes like posters in here suggesting

As she said she was a kid who grew up with old parents on gospel and R&B and sometimes watched 106 & Park where she got a healthy dose of mainstream music

Mfs kill me with this the hood don’t listen to mainstream shyt

Mainstream is called mainstream for a reason it touches everyone there’s kids in the trenches rn dancing to TikTok songs

808s started to kill his black audience imo. I aint hear too many people in Detroit bumping that. And really didnt hear much of it on the radio

That album sold like hotcakes…

808s was ahead of its time. It paved the way for Kid Cudi and early Drake.


I saw a bunch of backpack nikkas playing that album back when I was in school. The type of cats who played Pokémon on the Nintendo DS and draw anime photos.

Probably his most influential album though.

I think everyone knows Amazing.

Yeah once you hear his voice

If u just say the song title to someone. Its gonna be that Rush Hour scene about detective Yu


ISO: You heard that Kanye song“Amazing”?

Random: which one

Iso: Amazing

Random: Ye cool but which one

Etc…

On paper with album sales, yes, overall, not necessarily, and I'm someone who has repeatedly stated Graduation is his most important album and best blend of "everything".

Graduation sold more but Kanye the figure was larger in 2010/11. Another example is Take Care being Drake's highest selling album, but he was a bigger presence with Views and Scorpion. T.I. sold his most with Paper Trail in 08 but his opus year is widely recognized as 06.

It can't always be boiled down to straight album sales.

Nah plenty of black folks fukked with 808s. That album changed the landscape of music. A lot of rappers were born from that album. 808s made Drake what he is

The division with 808s ain't racial, it's age based

The people that were shytting on 808s when it came out was mostly boom bap heads

I said thats when it started not that all black people not fukking with it. shyt wasnt rap

I can tell yall don’t really go to Black clubs or HBCUs. Alot of that stuff didn’t and doesn’t get public play in real life in the South. We like our own over everything else.

Like it or not, Kanye fanbase largely White folks. “can’t tell me nothing” was the first and close to only song that got club play around here.

The music from our area is so deep that you can come here and never hear anything from outside this region.

And it's always been like that since the 90s when I was a teenager. I've said many times on how the south wasn't fukkin with Nas, Biggie, or really any of the biggest dudes on the east coast. It was obscure rappers from the bay area that got more play in Texas when I was a teenager. E-40 was more popular in Texas in 94.

 

[Lhark]

I hate these stupid generalized statements, that song was everywhere.

 

[RAX 010]

As a Kanye fan imo give young Glo the benefit of the doubt and say she just didn't recognize the tune of course she heard the song and when she was "Glowing" up she probably wasn't bumping Ye like that
She the top Female MC right now so interviews are getting hella scrutinized nerves pride etc

 

[mag357]

The nikka implied that son was some streamer that stayed in his house and in his room. And thats FAR from the truth. Anyone who knows Kai knows that. I know people who grew up with son.

Are you saying Kai is an outside nikka?

I don't believe that one bit.
He juxin nikkaz, selling crack or something?
