That song wasn't a solo song until the streaming era. It was attached to Marvin's Room and his part didn't get radio play.
One thing I will say about Drake
- Thread starter SNG
- Start date
He likes Drake with the Melodie’s he said it.
Ziggy is right...like Common said, all these rappers helped Drake more than Drake helped them lol. Whoever says otherwise is a fan.
Drake was basically jumping on whoever was hot or poppin, or ready to blow.
You can basically see it right now, he's jumping on nonamers tracks but none of them blow out. The songs he jumps on only pop if the main artist is hot in the street, or about to become hot

U being disingenuous with that post lmfao. It all benefited Drake.
All the dudes you mentioned were becoming big already.

Budden was spot when he said Drake should thank Kendrick for the exposure he's getting...cuz Drake has never been hot by himself.
Lol dumb post. Drake either "helps" artists to benefit from their street cred, or critical acclaim, or regional success. The vast majority of his own hits either have features or are pop/rnb oriented.
-Rocky's biggest track only got this big because of the Kendrick's dikk line that went viral. We all remember the Asap & Kendrick's only version that people uploaded on the internet as soon as the track dropped
-Kendrick's hype had nothing to do with Drake either, if anything he lost a bunch of fans because he was touring with what underground fans called a "canadian fraud". But his name was seriously poppin, and he got people's attention when he signed to Dre.
-Young Thug helped Drake's legacy more than anything
-Future was hot as fukk before Drake lmfao
What the fukk are we doing here, rewriting history?

Drake “gave” them a look. And he did it because they were already sure things. He didn’t do it out of the generosity of his heart and he didn’t do it because he’s some proponent of Hip Hop culture. It was mutually beneficial as it helped give Drake credibility and also helped align them with him so they’d never challenge him. That solo song on Take Care that Drake fans harp on was an interlude that consisted of Kendrick talking about the first time he met Drake. Its entire purpose was to big Drake up, not allow Kendrick to get his shyt off like Jay used to do for Memphis Bleek during the Hard Knock Life era. THATS why Drake was so pissed off about the Control verse, because he thought he had Kendrick safely in pocket and Kendrick said “fukk that”. Kendrick understood that he was going to be great without being under Drake’s thumb. Just like Weeknd understood and i’m sure Asap understood. Kendrick, Future, Weeknd, Asap, Cole and Migos are the artists that if Drake never collaborated with them would’ve always been what they became. Their careers were going to be just fine without him and like I said before they already proved it. The entire point of this thread was that Drake helped “put on” rappers which is bullshyt considering most of these rappers were already “Put On” before Drake swopped in to capitalize. Kendrick was signed to a major. Asap was signed to a major. Future was signed to a major.

Another smart poster admitting kbot is an industry plant
Does kendrick being a label creation really matter in a comparison with Drake of all people
?

Pass me the rock nikka
nikka said Kendrick stimulusJoe Budden talked about it last month...kendrick have always had more impact on other artists than Drake, that's for sure.
Kendrick has indeed helped people that were never going to blow out, whereas Drake only tried to benefit from people that were destined to become stars
Kendrick literally is being credited for Jazz revival, what many people were considering as a "dead genre", made underground and indie artists pop out, had massive impact on GOAT albums. Meanwhile Drake out here exploiting people and acting like he helps them

I had a good laugh reading OP. I literally (and I'm not trolling) never heard of a single artist that blew up because of Drake. That's all narrative he tried to create in order to have a legacy
One could say he's actually the least influential artist of his generation, despite the success he has.
But hey...you can't ask his fans to think, they're not qualified and usually lack musical knowledge...probably the least qualified audience in all of music.
