I think he can be one of the few artist that can go mainstream and still get underground respect based on his rap skills for the underground and his conections for the mainstream

I think in a couple of years he'll be bubbling under the surface, not mainstream or underground. I guess it depends where he signs to (major label). Imagine him on YMCMB

I mean think about it....Drake is as Pop Rap as it gets and K.Dot is straight from the underground wit it and they touring together. When was the last time you see an artist with as much pop appeal as drake touring wit a guy like K.Dot? He's getting the much needed exposer and everywhere I go he's all people seem to be talkin about. I even over heard a few white girls speak on him. We all know once the Becky's are talkin about you then you finna be a popular rapper

He's going to be a bit more successful than the likes of Lupe, and he may have a gold album with a good single, but he gonna grind like mad to do so. Unlike Lu, who dropped his debut album in the era of the non-lyrical, one-hit wonder (04-09), Kendrick can get away with being lyrical in this age. He also gotta get along with everyone.

40 got asked in person if there was a problem, and he did not. Do not believe the hype.

How can you say be more successful than Lupe, and may have a gold album? You are aware all of Lupe's albums have gone gold, and some of his singles went platinum, right? If he is going to be more successful then he would have to do gold or better.

I said at least a Gold selling album. He needs to drop a single bigger than "Superstar" or "Kick, Push" to get crossover success that everyone wants him to be. Its not impossible for Kendrick to stay true to himself and have long term success, especially when in an era where lyrical songs and albums are selling.

Lupe has two gold albums and I think two or three plat singles

I have no idea on the details on that one

The Cool, Lasers are certified gold. Superstar, and The Show Goes on are platinum.

You said he may have a gold album with a good single. That followed saying he would be more successful than Lupe, and Lupe has two gold albums. So....

as ridiculous as that sounds thats a powerful sentence. once u get white girls on your team success is certain, word to drake.

yupp thats an even better analogy than elzhi, kendrick will be like phonte in 5 years. i see the black hippies being exactly like little brother was from 04-07. but the black hippies are better.
