Kendrick Lamar is "Welvin Da Great" in the new Taylor Swift Music Video

[TheRtist]

Right. Drake got to where he is partly due to him being on other rappers' songs, but I think a big part that people forget is that he was on TWO songs with Rihanna. Take Care and What's My Name were huge songs, I remember What's My Name being played on the radio constantly. So for a rapper to reach a bigger stage, they usually have to slightly cross over.

Now, this is where the term 'sell-out' becomes muddled, because I believe it's only selling out if the sole reason of doing it is for the sake of money, and not because you genuinely fukk with said pop artist. It also has to be something that the rapper in question would legitimately spit on, if the pop star were removed from the equation. So if Kendrick made a song with Katy Perry, he doesn't even genuinely like her music, and it's some typical Katy Perry-esque single, then that would be selling out (imo). Drake obviously genuinely fukks with Rihanna (not to mention, Rihanna being Hip-Hop affiliated..), so it works for him, and Kendrick apparently genuinely fukks with Taylor and vice versa, so it works there too.

yea the only thing that sucked was Kendricks verse.

Definitely not his greatest work. I won't disagree with that. But I think they were good enough to get people interested in his better work.

They're gonna be in for a ride when they listen to TPAB for the first time.

Both Kendricks verses are cool, beat goes during the verses and hook is catchy for a pop song. Why yall so mad?

Kendrick Lamar Scores First Hot 100 No. 1 Thanks to Taylor Swift
By Jason Lipshutz, New York | May 27, 2015 4:00 PM EDT

• Two months after Kendrick Lamar notched his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with To Pimp a Butterfly, the rapper has landed his first No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart -- thanks to Taylor Swift.
  
  "Bad Blood," Swift's fourth single from her blockbuster 1989 album, moves 53-1 on this week's Hot 100 chart (dated June 6), giving the pop superstar her fourth career No. 1 single and third from her current full-length, following "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space." Because Lamar, who appears alongside Swift in the star-studded "Bad Blood" music video that premiered at the top of the 2015 Billboard Music Awards earlier this month, guests on the new single edit of the track, he is listed as the featured artist on the new No. 1 song in the country.
  
  The Swift-only version of "Bad Blood" originally entered the Hot 100 chart at No. 80 last November, the same frame that 1989 scored what was easily the biggest debut sales week of 2014 (the No. 1 song on the Hot 100 that week? Swift's "Shake It Off," of course). "Bad Blood" spent one additional week on the Hot 100 last fall before falling off, and returned to the chart -- with Lamar now credited -- at No. 53 last week.
  
  Lamar had reached the top 10 of the Hot 100 once before, also as a featured artist: A$AP Rocky's "F**kin Problems," also featuring Drake and 2 Chainz, peaked at No. 8 on the chart in 2013. His highest-charting hit as a lead artist remains "Swimming Pools (Drank)," from his 2012 album good kid, m.A.A.d city, which was the rapper's first Hot 100 entry and peaked at No. 17.
  
  Released in March, Lamar's sophomore LP To Pimp a Butterfly landed the second-largest debut sales week of 2015, moving 324,000 units in its first week of release, according to Nielsen Music (Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late remains No. 1 for the year with a tally of 495,000). "King Kunta," Lamar's single from To Pimp a Butterfly, tumbles seven spots to No. 90 on this week's Hot 100 (after peaking at No. 58).

Taylor Swift's 'Wildest Dreams' video draws backlash for racism
orrection: An earlier version of this story said that 'Wildest Dreams' contained an all-white cast.

Taylor Swift is facing backlash -- yet again -- for a music video.

Her video for Wildest Dreams, which she premiered on the red carpet during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, is being slammed by some critics for romanticizing white colonialism, and for using Africa as a backdrop for a story about white people.

They put c00ndrick in "these type of songs" to get support from blacks. This is no different then Beiber, Miley, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Timberlake, JoJo, Mariah, Iggy, Eminem etc. Shes gonna throw you nikkas right into the dumpster when it's all said and done. They use blacks for production, lyrics, and vocals and curb their asses when they are done with them. nikkas go out of there way to help build white music for a check. Then treat black music with disrespect cuz they "herring white money" aka Timbaland when he quit doing hip hop

Kendrick = the New Pitbull/ Flo-Rida

Real answer: A drake fan made this thread. This poster's history is:
Dissing Kendrick.
Dissing Meek.
Dapping ovo employee Ns.
Posting about Drake.

I'll put a brick through that storefront and leave a mess for him (ns) tomorrow. It'll make national news here in Canada. A lost dog made the national news
