Right.
Kendrick has one song popping right now and that's Don't wanna know (which I love) and that's not even a rap song
If you don't have no music popping online, on radio, no records currently charting, no virability at the moment, you aren't hot.
What people have to realize is though, is that guys like kendrick are beyond just "hot" anyway.
Really the list shouldn't include guys like kendrick, but that's another story
He has no music popping online... Based off MTV's stat he's averaging 8.8 Million streams per week, so clearly people are listening to him heavily right?
he's not on radio..... Yet he's featured on Beyonce, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Schoolboy Q, & Tribe's album.... i guarantee atleast 3 of those albums are gonna land in the top 10 best selling albums of this year.. people are gonna see and hear him right?
no virability....... Nah but he is closing out festivals that hold anywhere from 50k-80k people, people are gonna see and hear him right?
he has no records charting.. as far as streaming goes he's currently featured on 3 songs in the top 50 charts.. that also means people are seeing him & hearing him right?
point blank this year Kendrick kept his name shining BRIGHT in hiphop and he didn't have to touch a singular club hit, fact of the matter is he's by far Hotter than A lot of ******..
Now my next point is if we're gonna follow this idea that you have to have a hot song and TL discussion and be popping in the clubs...... Then how is Desiigner not ranked higher than 21, Uzi & yachty??
Based on billboards charts which cover Physical sales, radio play, streaming services, youtube & soundcloud... he has two songs in the top 100 in comparison that Trio has 1 (and that's yachty being featured on Broccoli at 34). Based on that Desiigners song has racked up more plays overall than Adele's Hello & Hotline Bling this year.
- So outside of One Dance, he has the most played hiphop song of the year & another one rounding out the top 100
- He was featured on Ye's album
- He's performed EVERYWHERE, i've accidentally seen him perform two times this year while being at someone else's show
- apparently meme's are a variable
{ ) ..... the number of future/desiigner meme's and dabbing Meme's is ridiculous..
- As of this week based off purely streaming numbers (AGAIN this includes Youtube, Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Music) Panda(#24) which came out a year ago is still getting more plays then..... 21- No Heart (#30), Future & Drake - Used to this(#32), Future/Uzi - Too Much Sauce(#3
, Uzi - U was right (#40) & Yachty - 1 Night (#41)
Timmy Turner the song that "Nobody listens too" is certified gold & also made the top 100 played songs of the year... a list which Uzi or Savage aren't on, not even as a featured artist ? So going by ya'll standards i would love to know how Desiigner isn't hotter than those three.
