The Power of the Drake Co-Sign | Genius News

- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Toronto artist Drake is known to shine the spotlight on an artist that is on the come-up. From inviting Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky on his Club Paradise tour in 2011 to his most recent verses on BlocBoy JB’s “Look Alive” and Summer Walker’s “Girls Need Love,” Drake knows a vibe when he sees one. But the results can be mixed as iLoveMakonnen and DRAM can attest.

That’s Lebron type shit

signing to drake label: 📉📉📉📉
Lmaoo best comment
Wrong
Big fact 🤣
Drake in my personal top 5 but this big facts 🤣🤣
@@ch3rri funny cause pnd is a successful writer, roy woods took a break and just came back with a song that POPPED off, dvsn dropped an album that went CRAZY in sales, and plaza is on the rise, you're a fucking idiot
Mac Miller: "I did it all without a Drake feature!"
If anyone wants to know the song it's from, it's _Here We Go_ from the classic _FACES_ mixtape. He also says, _"I did it all without a Jay feature!"_ in the same song.
I feel like Chief keef said that too
Hence why not many people know that song.
That's facts
Donkey Kong lol nobody has heard that song except Mac Miller fans
I feel like Kendrick Lamar was destined to blow up regardless without Drake. My first time knowing or hearing about Kendrick had nothing to do with Drake.
Lol thats u. The rest of the world neer heard of him un til the interlude on Drake album
@@HUNGRYFLOWER98 nah man it was just an interlude.. everyone I know found Kendrick through A.D.H.D or when he blew up with Maad City. No drake involved
@@schokoflogge6749 lol bro. U speakin on your lil bubble of people. Section 8.0 literally did nothing on the landscape of hip hop in terms of mainstream. It was "underground". Im not saying kendrick had ABSOLUTELY nothing goin. But drake did help him get looks. And ion even like drake
@@schokoflogge6749 not to mention touring
@@HUNGRYFLOWER98 nah I knew Kendrick before drake also
I feel like lil baby really blew up off yes indeed, I expected to see that one on here
Undoubtably cos that dude overrated af
he blew up from that's my dawg
He blew up cause of Freestyle not Yes Indeed.
first of all he was already up, before freestyle, he part of young thug crew he beeen up
Ski mask needs a drake feature
I remember going to my first Drake concert and he had Kendrick and ASAP opening for him in 2011 and at that time I didn’t know who they were but I remember I took pictures of them because I was like “they’re gonna be big soon”...
Damn, despite interviews of them saying they loved what Drake did for them, everybody denies they put them on. smh
Lol they love to hate the top
He didn't put no one of but a$ap
People juss love to hate drake
Shut up lmao
the DON
Kendrick is literally admitting drake assisting him and yall still denying it. Smh, most of yall act like you guys where there when they had these conversations.
It's disgusting how these people hate Drake even with proof stering at them dead niggas still prefer to hate Drake.
Okay so what ?? Either way he be poppin and now is even better and more respected the Drake .
Ayrton Cordeiro loool shut the fuck up you hater
Some people hate greatness 🤷🏾♂️ that’s all it is honestly
@@bm__78699 it's facts .
Don’t forget about how Drake put Jhené Aiko on that song From Time
Nah I feel like she had some buzz/loyal fans slightly before that
@@edgm.14 I feel it was from Beware with sean
I agree with the Drake co-sign theory but a chunk of these artists would have still acheieved greatness and majority of the co-signs are ride waving.
Drake clearly navigates the game to stay relevant, regardless of how good he is, it’s obvious.
Czar17 _ soooo he’s smart is what you’re saying
Drake like to ride other people's wave
This is true. If anything, I would say it's a mutual exchange though. Especially when think about how big of an artist Drake is
No ones saying he made them smart ass. You're literally describing a co-sign. Putting them on a bigger stage and getting more eyes on them. Kdot and Rocky could have never imagine being on such a big stage as the Clun Paradise stage at that point in their career.
In business it's called (Networking) an eye for an eye .....and that's totally normal
4:35 Summer Walker's waist really caught me off guard. She can't be comfortable at all.
She straight up looked out of breath😨
this normal? she got like a waist issue? this looking spooky
Drake got the chakra to hop on everyone’s co sign.
You might as well start making videos because everybody fucking knows u
YO. Who ISSs dis NIGGA. ?!
z1k3 PsYcHo ikr
I love you!
@@z1k3psycho35 Lmao
There were people that co-signed Kendrick before Drake. The Game, Tech N9ne, Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, etc...
TruMusic89 exactly them niggas try to put underground artists on everyday 😂
@TruMusic89 yeah, let's all act like nobody cared about The Game and fucking Dr Dre of all people...
Drake invited Kendrick on tour and gave him a whole track on “Take Care”.
@@ggkizzy no they don't and if they do that's better then riding waves like drake
TruMusic89 So we just gonna forget how The Game basically saved west coast hip hop, or that Dr. Dre has produced some of the greatest rap artists ever and owns the most popular headphone brand in the world....
How are y’all saying Kendrick & Rocky would’ve made it without drake. But they are saying themselves that Drake co signing definitely helped their career
Just because it boosted their careers doesn’t mean they wouldn’t make it without Drake
Dude gives back to the "culture" so much yet they call him a vulture. Who really benefits more when he co-signs an artist or song?
I don't get it. People out here acting like the co-sign is an unnecessary handout, like so what your favorite rapper got a co-sign from a top-selling one? What is there to complain about?
@@ViktorStClair "What is there to complain about?" they feel personally attacked that it's indeed truth drake gave their "beloved" artists boost
BRUH....he still a vulture. A bad person can also do some good
@Kyrie Irving he makes songs from places he isn’t from like uk and Jamaica but as Picasso said “good artists copy, great artists steal “
@@jameshamilton5947 if drake gives back to the culture then he isn't a vulture
Those last lines of the video (5:01) from _5AM in Toronto_ have been my favorite Drake lines for a while. That shit might be one of the biggest flexes in a rap line ever, just because of how true it is and the fact that he said it. He basically dissed everyone he ever gave a feature to.
96NickBeats and mob ties “ yeah I lead the league in scoring but look at my assist”
Damn she really hit Drake with the “Thanks lol” 💀
X ain't need no cosign from Drake
"too many people think they made me//
//well if you really made me then replace me"
But wasn’t a sub at drake ...
only subs were from
5am in Toronto (to Weeknd)
King of the Fall (to drake)
Sidewalks was a sub at The Weeknd's old producer
Paul Vasquez lost In the fire too?
And summer sixteen too I think
Drake is a LEGEND. PERIOD.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Tbh, I thought "Tuesday" was Drake's song this entire time
The power of a drake feature is unmatched
C'mon Kendrick would had been at this level without anybody smh
FACTS
Everybody says that Kendrick would blow up and this and that but there are legit other Kendricks out here in these streets but don't have no one to give them a chance, I believe Drake gave Kendrick the platform needed for albums like GKMC to thrive, otherwise I don't think many people would have even heard of it to realize how great it is
But local rappers like dr. Dre gave k dot a hand too man. And ya know kendrick is somethin different man not too many people like him i think
It ain't that deep
No lmao the entire rap game put Kendrick on their shoulders. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it, like Kendrick defintely had/has the talent but he wouldn't have gotten this far in the mainstream w/o Tech N9ne's/Dre's/Game's/Drake's cosigns.
Kendrick and Rocky would have made it regardless drake has nothing to do with their success
bloody lovepuddle ur out ur mind, he clearly had them on tour with him & been on both albums, if that isn’t help idk what that is
jfraz1992 Rocky and Kendrick were getting noticed before he jumped on.
Mike Craig fr fr
But Kendrick and rocky both said...nvm
jfraz1992 they were both blowing up before drakes co sign foh u was just late to the party they ain’t need shit ESPECIALLY KENDRICK
The end says it all “Drake ft Drake”
We all know Blockboy JB ain't ever gonna shine
Also Lil baby
Travis was on if you’re reading this before rodeo even came out
Also OG’s like Trouble
Drake is a legend and done a lot for hip hop but he owes it all to Wayne and Trey Songz who did the same for him shout out to 6ix god hope one day I get the OVO co-sign
ovo goon 🦉
stillbeatthough on SoundCloud he had a loyal underground base
HUMZA shahzad fr fr
@@humza4848 lil baby fan doesn’t like facts
Nor Rocky neither Kendrick needed Drake. They would blow up with out him. Dr Dre 's cosign was the major help in Kendricks Carrier
Dercio Silva cap
@@jaemafuru4688 nah he's right
I always felt Drake is the one who really benefits from these features. He looks up to artist who are hyped and look hot at the right time. Then he makes a feature and looks like the big guy in the track and it looks like he is promoting the younger artists. He also adapts to the style of the younger artist.
I feel like this is one of the major keys how Drake is always able to sty relevant.
yes that is why hes called a leech
Can’t believe Kendrick looked up to drake at one point.
He respected him not look up to him
Listen buried alive interlude , Kendrick raps about when he first met drake and how he became bitter after he found out they were the same age but at different levels on their careers but he also says that drake would the death of him , that drake is the one thing he never wanted to become.
Ayrton Goncalves biggest selling artist in the last ten years highest selling rap artist in the last ten years most talked about and most most streamed artists let that sink in bro lol
Ryan Austin drake is legendary already. I still think Kendrick is a better rapper. It’s interesting to see what others rappers think of drake though.
Ryan Austin lmao all that but kendricks still better no discussion
And y’all disrespecting drake bruh!!!
Drake really tried to screw over The Weeknd but, couldn't.
how
@@jaylanthompson Drake took half The Weeknds music to get him more fame. Drake wanted to sign The Weeknd but, he denied. Listen to the song 5am in Toronto he disses The Weeknd because he didn't sign to OVO records.
DerianPalma he only used 3 songs tho lol
@@ggkizzy he used more then 3 songs lol
DerianPalma co wrote shot for me & practice, crew love, the ride background vocals dont count . thats 3 sir
The biggest artist who been doing this for a decade who ever he put on they are going to get the exposure and get that recognition that they need
Ion know how y’all leave out lil baby?
Plus Kendrick would have gotten to this point with out the co-sign.
Y’all niggas saying that Kendrick didn’t need drake but he said it himself that drake help him to blow up
Damn she hit him with a “Thanks lol”
French rappers PNL declined Drake’s offer to remix one of their songs lmao
Santiago Trujillo they don't want the hype qlf
“WHO?!?!?!” - Snoop Dogg
Well nobody knows him lol 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Drake just got mainstream appeal, hes in no hip-hop fans top 10
Drake is similar to how MC Hammer was in the 90's. He's a riding the line between HipHop and Pop Music. He's untouchable but yeah he aint in a real HipHop fans Top10... neither was Hammer lol
@@JaizeOnMyFeet if drake is in your top 10 you need to expand your listening past the top 50 charts.
4:39 what iiis that ?
That's scary.
Nothing but respect to one of the greats🙏🏻
Never knew Tuesday was a remix lol
Also forgot the part when he says:
"A couple albums dropped, those are still on the shelf
I bet them shits would have popped if I was willin' to help"
“They just mad cause I got the Midas touch” 👀🦉🔥
Drake is a wave rider. Most of the music Drake hops on is already blowing up. He’s great at staying relevant.
TyKOmain How is the music he’s hopping on blowing up, when nobody in the mainstream has heard about it? Migos wasn’t popular. Nobody knew who Blocboy JB was and Kendrick and Rocky’s success was sped up due to going on tour with Drake
Leonard Brown
No Label was a massive tape long before drake hopped on YRN with a remix to an already blowing up song. Blockboy already had millions of views before drake.
He may be a booster because he has a bigger following but the songs he’s hopping on are already big.
Stop jocking pop artists and understand that real hip hop heads already knew the songs and were already blowing them up on the scene.
TyKOmain Bro No Label was never a “Massive Tape”. Migos wasn’t even thought of before Versace and Y.R.N in the first place. Nobody knows any songs off of No Label. BlocBoy was a nobody in the mainstream. And he got a song top 5 on the billboard charts with Drake and started getting features with Multiple big artists afterwards. You’re an idiot to believe these guys didn’t get SUPER HYPE from teaming with Drake
Leonard Brown
Never said he didn’t help. Just said the songs and artists were already hot on the streets without him.
Not arguing with you. You clearly aren’t a real fan of hip hop.
Drake always been ahead of the curve.
Y’all niggas go sit here and look at Kendrick and A$AP say that Drake helped them out BIG TIME and still say Drake ain’t elevate them to the next level. Drake features are the legit stimulus package for music.
He really putting everyone on
im sorry but drake is just a genuinely a G.o.a.t 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Iso Aqua tf is wrong with you
People in the comments making it seem wrong to help other artists. Hes not a wave rider, he wants to see hip hop grow
drake is the most overhated artist ever, he has propelled some of the greatest artist ever and believed in them, and he has made some of the best rap songs ever.
Lets see him try to do a song with Kendrick now 👀 and see how that turn out
c same result lol. I bet that song would chart more with drake on it than without him on it
Thats not the point of the video lol
Not happening lol
Well, Kendrick tried to get him to do another feature back after the Control verse, but Drake said no.
@@Giologan425 source?
Drizzy got the midas touch
Drake blessed so many people like how weezy blessed him
Drake literally be putting people on the map, manz really is the 🐐, not for being the top guy in the pass 10 years but for introducing us to other artist
Saying Drake put on Kendrick and ASAP Rocky and Migos is literally the same as saying Wayne put on Drake. He saw them buzzing and made a good business decision for both parties. This video should’ve started with The Weeknd
4:52 yea he sang Spanish on MIA but like you forgetting when he hopped on a song with a big Spanish speaking artist like Romeo Santos on Odio ngl that song still slaps🔥
I feel like drake puts people on just so he has the right to say “I put them on”
Kendrick never needed a drake feature lol.
To get mainstream acclaim that fast. Yes he did.
@truthgoat my nigga calm down
Before drake he didn’t have a big name..
This is faccs. Two different lanes
It's him putting him in tours broooo
where the talk about “drama” co sign with roy woods ?
It’s a win win on both Drake and the other artist. $$$$$$$$$
They wanna hate so bad. But facts are facts.
4:40 yo wtf
*now let's talk about how drake got put on after being an actor*
Saying Kendrick Lamar blew up because of Drake is just blasphemy.
must've been hard for you to hear that from kendrick himself i bet, justin williams punching air rn
Kendrick didn’t need Drake.
Thomas Kennedy nigga drake speeds the process up for you. Yea he would’ve made it without drake but it would’ve taken longer. Respect drake he’s the best this world ever had.
Thomas Kennedy you don’t know that, Kendrick trash too so he would’ve never blown without drake the goat 🐐
Kendrick NEEDED drake
@@humza4848 cap
Lmao ALL of you are tripping fr
And y'all call him a culture vulture. All these guys probably would have been slept on like many other underground artists
but most of the people he hopped on weren't underground
@@SanFranFan30 either way he gave them more exposure
Yea what drake did was cool but Rocky and Kendrick were gonna blow up regardless
they definitely blew up faster bc if drake
Drake still gave them a faster push
Drake should work with South Africa's Sjava! Hella of a talented writer, producer and singer.
Dam what about lil baby
I knew lil baby before “yes indeed”. But i get what u mean.
Drake co signed "Kendrick Lamar" people 2020
All these comments still trying to discredit Drake for helping people out is beyond me fam, YES Kendrick and ASAP would've been okay without the Drake shoutout, sure, but BECAUSE Drake helped them out they jump started their careers. It''s not too hard to understand
I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT IS SAID..... '5AM IN TORONTO' SAYS IT BETTER THAN U EVER COULD GENIUS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Give these niggas the look the verse and even the hook that's why every song sounds like drake feat drake"
Tay Keith blew up more than Bloc on Look Alive, Tay Keith was everywhere after that lol
Did she say blackboy jb
Not a mention of Dave's Wanna Know remix?
When i see haters or who doubts drake i slap them with "5 am in toronto"
Love the Drake content
You forgot the Dave co-sign which single handedly made him an international artist.
4:40 am I trippin?!
Mac Miller : "I DID IT ALL WITHOUT A DRAKE FEATURE"🙏🏻
There are plenty people you forget like G Herbo even J Cole
I think the features and co signs are talent he knows will have longevity it’s up to the artist to stay consistent after he shines a light like the weekend like Kendrick rocky etc some artist can’t hold their own main stream those artist fall behind that’s not drakes fault 🤷🏽♂️
its crazy watchin this in 2024 when drake has beef wit both kendrick and rocky
Shorty waist look like a hot pocket if you was mad and just squeezed the shit in the center @ 4:40
If you never herd of Kendrick until he did a song with Drake that says it all about your depth for music
Genius Big bruh moment, what about talk about the man who took drake up and shine
Getting a Drake Co-Sign isn't everything, it's about what you do with the momentum that is temporarily given to you.
Take Lil Baby and Blocboy JB for example.
Lil Baby released Harder Than Ever just after releasing Yes Indeed with Drake, and continued to make a name for himself and stay relevant. Blocboy JB, on the other hand...
No one said Drake was responsible for the other artist's success. The artist has to be talented,consistent and strategic. Drake is responsible for giving those said artist a bigger platform and opportunities. That's all.
i think it's genius bc drake will remain relevant in the underground & mainstream side of things but the newly upcoming artist gets worldwide exposure. it's like an equilavent exchange frfr.
Man if y'all don't take this goofy sh** down. Drake ain't cosign Kendrick. TDE was already bubbling in California way before, so it was only a matter of time.
dagreatmclovin he co-signed party next door and ilovemakonen and all them I agree with u 100%
Did you not see what was said
Yeah I do think Kendrick would have blown up without him either way. Drake wanted Kendrick. Kendrick didn't NEED Drake
But Kendrick said...nvm
Sometimes I think ppl comment before watching the video.
Looking at all these drake stans claiming drake is Jesus by saying he “saving”, “boosting” and or “improving” some artist careers......
I see kendrick . I see a$ap rocky . I see drake . I clicked to watch it . Im a regular person
Drake A Living Legend
so we all go act like Drake didn't get heavy cosigns to get into the game and we gonna act like Kendrick wasn't legit before drake?
Elaborate
@@paulvasquez7897 One name, Lil Wayne
That’s not what this video is about, it’s about Drake’s co-signs not the other way around.
Kendrick fans butthurt.. 😂😂😂😂 they know drake gave him a boost and dont want to admit it to give him the upper hand...
Shit got em in their feelings
He made Versace what it is. That’s how the Migos blew up!
This is why Nicki Minaj is where she’s at right now, don’t want to do nothing for nobody and just be a queen over looking everybody,
I Went Too That Tour At SDSU, It Was Epic! We Walked Too The Venue 5 Minutes Away From Our Apartment Lol
remember when drake used to dance in kid Cudi music video
honestly in recent years he's more wave riding than putting people on, but back in the early 2010s and late 2000s he was actually putting people on
Not really
Guys they are not saying Drake made their careers, for example Kendrick would have gotten big either way, but Drake gave him a boost in exposure.
