2752555, Umm. And Drake was "mainstream" in Canada pre-Weezy

But not "mainstream" in Lousiana pre-Weezy

Drake did have multiple mega offers from majors
BEFORE signing with Weezy.

Weezy won that bid.

Same with 50 Cent.

50 Cent had multi-million dollar deals from multiple
labels. Aftermath/Shady just happened to win that bid.

Neither 50 nor Drake were "introduced to the mainstream"
by Dre or Weezy. Both certainly benefited from Dre and
Weezy.....just as Dre and Weezy were helped by 50 and
Drake.

Dre had fallen on irrelevant status at the time
50 was signed...young niggas at that time didn't
really care...not to mention 50 re-established
Dre has a figure on the east coast for the first
time since before 2Pac and Biggie died


>He sure wasn't mainstream on the west coast...


>We get it, you don't like the album like other people here
>do...

I do like the album, actually.

>People are excited about this artist and this project... let
>them be excited...

That has nothing to do with it. You guys are just making
shit up and have pretty much silenced all original thinkers
on the topic. Either Kendrick Lamar prevented deaths from
Sandy or you are banished from The Lesson. Its pathetic.
