Apr 23, 2020 lol can’t believe you guys are actually arguing this. Let’s debate whether Aesop Rock has more hits than Uzi next
Apr 23, 2020 French kills the hook but his verse is absolutely terrible. That's prime spitting Drizzy tho
Apr 23, 2020 half these songs aren't even his I'll try my hardest to defend the guy but he's just serving himself Ls at this point
Apr 23, 2020 We're all stupid for arguing about this man, french wins this and everyone saying otherwise is dense and not intelligent!
Apr 23, 2020 That’s a stretch and you know it. Lol. Kendrick is one of the biggest rap stars on earth and Aesop is only known by internet rap heads. Yea their style might be in the same vein, but come on now lmao
Apr 23, 2020 It's hard to have an accurate measurement for this because both got really popular right before the transition to streaming when free mixtapes and pirating music was still the law of the land. Part of this is definitely regional—in the PNW Kendrick is/was leagues more popular than French. Both of them were popping when I was college and I heard GKMC cuts much more than anything with French on it besides Stay Schemin. French certainly has or was on more actual club records but I think Kendrick has more cross-genre appeal. Regardless, both the forced kendrick hate and the ignorant French hate is wack. People are so afraid of being called dusty that they hate on an album like d--- (???) and the other half of people won't even give French a chance because they think they're somehow above him. It's OK to see value in both of them lol.
Apr 23, 2020 All ims saying is both are pretty meh to me, kendrick more so, but I dunno I don't think anyone can tell me swimming pools gets less plays at clubs than French or french has a song/hit more recognisable than that
Apr 23, 2020 Unforgettable did bigger numbers than swimming pools. But swimming pools def “feels” more iconic if that makes sense. Unforgettable is a great song too tho
