    It makes sense

    They both have worked with artists for reasons outside of the artists undeniable talent. Either to have a certain image (look at all of those whos all over the last Kendrick album) to stay current (rich the kid collabs, too many Kanye collabs to even say)

    Just because they hyped a guy up I wouldn't say "wow they must really believe in this dude!" Especially when I listen to the music and it's complete and total butt

    XXX popped out at DAMN tour, it’s okay man. type less lol

    You make valid points but Kendrick tweeting that out shows me he believed in X a little more than just tryna follow a trend.

    What you say is valid though

    what the difference between embodying the change and being a part of it

    Because they were representative of things bigger than themselves.

    yeah but they were basically spearheading the movement so not only did they represent it but they WERE the movement...

    They were young and just starting out…

    I don't think it's an insult to say they couldn't single handedly change the course of music.

    Imagine if Roddy Ricch died in 2020 how people would talk about him

    Sure, not single handedly

    but in context the @op mentioned them all in tandem

    Together they could’ve all made some sort of impact
