Math Hoffa expressed confusion over the music industry's hesitance to sign more artists like Kendrick Lamar, despite his massive success. Hoffa suggested that while Kendrick is unique, his popularity indicates a demand for similar artists. He noted that labels seem more inclined to flood the market with similar-sounding trap artists, rather than investing in diverse lyrical talents akin to Kendrick. Hoffa and DJ Vlad discussed the manipulation of music streams, using Takashi’s artificially boosted YouTube numbers as an example. In contrast, Kendrick’s genuine fan base reaffirms his place as a generational talent. Noting how Kendrick consistently reinvents himself, infuses new sounds, and collaborates with underground artists, Vlad highlighted Lamar's innovation and influence. Yet, the industry's lack of pursuit of similar creative artists leaves Hoffa puzzled.
