Exactly...
I was on tour with EL-P and Dizzee Rascal in eerr 2008. He was a KING in the UK but I watched him struggle to win over the US crowd.
even Tiny Tempah's crossover in the US in 2010/11 it was a typical US Style hip hop pop song.
but when Drake started messing with them... the shift in the US pubic consciousness happens.
look at this shit

ya'll can play this Drake ain't underground card but he shows up in places a "pop" star shouldn't and connects directly with those in the culture.
