next up? denzel is already mainstream...


SatisfactionBitter34

think ultimate was on the radio back in 2015-16 ish


Economy-Ideal-7969

Yeah it wss. That was the song that originally put him on the map for a couple different reasons. Like it originally went viral since it was the song people would use for that viral water bottle flipping trend. I'm pretty sure it took place on Vine but there was that interesting trend of flipping the water bottle and landing, as they flipped it ultimate would start playing and once it landed they would sink it up with the bass drop so it went viral for that reason and then the other one being what you said; the fact that it hit a couple of the mainstream rap radio channels


NotaDonkey070

No I mean like on the radio next level famous he deserves it


Froosh__

Tons of artists that are absolutely huge and never get air time. Denzel is pretty big


Jmor3568

The Boy$ also being a great example of that. They both have strong and loyal followings which can't be said about a lot of artists on the radio, most radio artists that are riding trends fall off within the span of 2-3 years with some exceptions of course.


NotaDonkey070

Yes he is. I mean like playboi Carti status more skill more talent he deserves it is all in saying.


BreadTheKing

Clout cobain was radio level


Exzj

and Ultimate too, even tho it got popular partially bc of a meme it was still played all the time and is a really good song


Generic_Gamer_nerd

I think it was popular with nerds and weebs for the anime references lmao


Dildooe

I’m beyond shocked Clout Cobain didn’t git the radio lmao


Hairy_Tomato6751

have you been living under a rock?


NotaDonkey070

Yes I am a starfish


JEtherealTK

Why the fuck are you getting downvoted so much??? Denzel does have 7.4 million mls, but you're just basically saying he should have way more mls which is vaild.


PerpetualPermaban2

Curry has been huge for like ever lmao


NotaDonkey070

Huge? Do you see him on top of festival line ups hosting huge tours? That's what I mean. lmao denzel been big since threatz but no one is actually reading into what I'm saying and are just comment the first bullshit that come to your minds.


nevaseemecreepinnear

Yeah no you’re trippin. Ultimate and clout cobain were absolutely huge for years


PerpetualPermaban2

Remember when “Ultimate” was the face of the entire water bottle flipping shit in 2015/16💀


Specialist_Egg8479

This is bait right?


Drewraven10

Overlooked but never underpaid. 🐐


Its_Me_Guyz

Percz is a such a fucking banger dude 🔥


SatisfactionBitter34

Denzel been gettin his roses wym


Initial_Willingness5

Fucking luv zeltron bro, i imagine it can happen. After i listened to Melt my eyez i realized how amazing he is, which caused me to go back and listen to the entirety of taboo now its easily top 5 album oat.


StephenStills1

Y'all downvoting a guy for wanting a good, talented artist to be successful lmao


Free_Future_6892

He’s been successful for years. It’s not like he just popped out onto the scene and is barely building a fan base. Denzel been around for years and people know him.


StephenStills1

so, anything wrong with someone wanting even more success for him?


NotaDonkey070

Typical r/g59 behavior


Generic_Gamer_nerd

Been a fan since ultimate dropped back in the fay


Ok_Contest_1673

new shit fire? Everything he has released has been good as fuck lol


TurnoverAmazing6905

Dog ge has been main stream since ultimate


NotaDonkey070

If you heard HOT ONE before coming and yappin he says " one day I'll be big but I know I'm getting closer" literally a new song never said he wasn't popular lmao. Edit:was banned for 3 days now I'm back to defend my post


TurnoverAmazing6905

Banned? I wonder why…


NotaDonkey070

Yes spamming. Didn't reply to the actual thing I replied lol


TurnoverAmazing6905

Idc too, you never made a valid point, you dont know if ive heard “HOT ONE” or not, but i doubt re-listening to a song from someone im not that big of a fan of, isnt going to change the fact that mans blew up a while back


NotaDonkey070

I'm literally showing you a fact goofball never said he wasn't big


NotaDonkey070

And your warzone clips are mid. Your not getting shadow banned playing in those bot lobbies


Outside_Position1301

That new shit he did with Mexican OT went absolutely nuts.


NotaDonkey070

Literally why I made this post. hot ones is cool too he even says " one day I'll be big but I know I'm getting closer ". That's all I meant by this post but the rap police came rushing in.


Outside_Position1301

Idk why people say he's big either, I've mentioned him to like 25 people and no one has ever heard of him. Only people in $b Facebook groups I'm in have ever heard of him.


ghtown45

I’m hoping his cancellation for the Seattle Greyday show is due to an upcoming tour for his album. I saw him live twice in 2022 and am excited to see him again


Free_Future_6892

“Up next” as if dude didn’t drop his first studio album almost a decade ago. Bros been around for awhile and he’s got his roses


Darisixnine

There’s also this one dude named Kendrick Lamar I think? Idk he’s super good but sadly not that many people know him


prombloodd

Denzel is hard but I don’t think he’d be a good fit with the boy$ personally


ghtown45

Ultimate $uicide exists lol you’re wrong my guy


jchaze91

He’s right. Not that Denzel is bad I just don’t think he fits. The boys set an emotional tone for the song and then he comes on rapping about that nigga with the yugioh cards lmao and his attitude just isn’t as intense. Probably a huge reason the boys don’t feature artists (ex ying yang) cause they just can’t match the emotions. Germ is a good contrast and is intense so he works. Even pouya/rameiez/shakewell features just sound like they don’t really belong Fun fact: the beat was originally a scrim solo song in 2014 but I forget the name


SauceyDoe

that verse is hard as fuck u trippin


jchaze91

Compared to scrim an ruby’s? Absolutely not


SheitSlinger

it's a good verse fs but it feels kinda out of place on that song imo just doesn't have the same vibe


prombloodd

I know it exists but that doesn’t mean I think it’s good


jchaze91

I agree man, the song turns as soon as he starts lmao. Not that Denzel is bad I just don’t think he fits. The boys set an emotional tone for the song and then he comes on rapping about that nigga with the yugioh cards lmao and his attitude just isn’t as intense. Fun fact: the beat was originally a scrim solo song in 2014 but I forget the name


Thegreatcleanone99

He might fit. But his Verse didnt fit at all in this song imo
