Kendrick Lamar is officially Apple Music’s 'Rapper of the Year' for 2024 🔥

More praises from the corporate side of Hip Hop.

NO, nikka

So that's qualification for rapper of the year dropping a popular single and no album? You wouldn't be actor of the year for staring in 10 minutes of a single film even if you stole the scene you were in.

That's just disrespectful to the rappers that put in major work and released full projects.

Name another rapper who made a bigger impact this year

The impact is all about who he dissed. It's not like this is just a typical single he put out that blew people away it's a diss track that basically called out the biggest rapper in the game. Personally I think Drake is mediocre as fukk and doesn't deserve that status but it is what it is.

You not rapper of the year for kicking up some drama and putting out a diss track that became popular.

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

What has he done other than diss Drake. Shouldn't rapper of the year have released an actual album and not just an ep amount of songs dissing a rapper?

what has he done? what he did to Drake and the height of that beef plus worldwide response has never been done.

y'all trying too hard

they were chanting not like us in fukking stadiums at the worldcup and worldwide.

Drake stimulus package still putting in work.

 

[Canada Goose]

Kendrick deserves this, overall this was a year for Hip Hop and Kendrick was one of the few bright spots for this year when it comes to Hip Hop


Yeah Common and LL dropped dope albums this year but only their fanbases were checking for those albums..

What happened to that partynextdoor album that was supposed to drop in the fall

 

[Ziggiy]

You have the numbers to prove this?

What happened to that partynextdoor album that was supposed to drop in the fall

Beam and Hush needed a break. I heard it was carpal tunnel

Like That is Futures song. which is 1/3rd of that number..

If you remove Like That, because its Future song and not Kendrick song, then that is no longer true and it goes rightfully to Future.

That tweet is also saying singular album. Future obviously had more streams than that combined between all 3 #1 albums.

You said Kendricks 1 song streamed more than all 3 of Future's #1 albums combined. This is false even with the stats you posted.

I mean, pretty much stop the nation in its tracks for two weeks in a way rap hasn’t been able to do in a decade or two

Apple Music is global though.

What has he done other than diss Drake. Shouldn't rapper of the year have released an actual album and not just an ep amount of songs dissing a rapper?

It's wild.

First it’s Kendrick is the culture and watch the party die. Now it’s Haper’s Bazaar wearing a purse and “look at white people giving him all the awards he’s the GOAT”.

He put out 4 songs all dissing one person. What else has he done? There’s been a lot of people rapping a lot more than that this year.

Apple just outright disrespecting the genre right now.
