Fat Joe, known for his candid takes, reflected on Kendrick’s explosive rise following his well-publicized feud with Drake. “I was there last week, I’ve never seen nothing like that,” he exclaimed, describing the scene in LA’s music landscape. “Kendrick Lamar gets played nine out of every 10 songs in LA right now. Not even Snoop Dogg, not even Tupac Shakur, nobody from LA has dominated the paint like this guy.” His assertion paints a vivid picture of Kendrick’s overwhelming presence in his hometown, making it seem as if “there’s only one guy on earth: Kendrick Lamar.”
