Yea nah not at all. Drake did take him on tour with him and threw him a few songs, which helped, - but none of that made Kendrick, Kendrick was gonna be a star, he already had Section80, mixtapes and features popping, critical acclaim building, TDE had a movement already which got him signed to Aftermath/Interscope, all that was way before Drake slid in. He was gonna be next, which is why Drake worked with him. That was a mutually beneficial transaction

somebody like BlocBoy or Smiley or Majid Jordan or P Reign or Partynextdoor or Baka or the 'Whah Gwan Delilah' people is the few artists that were actually unknowns before Drake "made" them. And look at where they all are now still... stimulus ran the fukk out and he calculatedly leaves them in the bushes

TheWeekend might be the only one I can think of that he maaaaaybe gets credit for... And if he hadn't broken away from Drake's parasitic ass he would still be Majid/PND status.

but cats like Fetty Wap or 2Chainz or A$AP or Kendrick or J Cole or Migos or Future or all the UK/JA/Afrobeats people he rode - or even ILoveMakkonen or Sexy Redd - they all already had movements that he attached himself to after they were buzzing and he rode their waves with them


sometimes its symbiotic, sometimes he's parasitic
Not particuarly relevant to your overall point but pnd is one of the biggest male r&b acts out, obviously not Weeknd status but shouldn't be categorized with cats like P Reign and BlocBoy.

Son I'm not even remotely trying to say Drake is a saint. I don't agree with and have called out mad shyt that Drake does. I just don't like the hypocritical nature of how everyone moving right now. It's corny and it's catty. And literally proved what Nas has said about all these industry nikkas a long time ago. And the fact u nikkas keep bringing Nas up in comparison to Kendrick is a joke to me and especially trying to use me being a Nas fan as some kinda proof that I'm being hypocritical towards Kendrick. When them 2 nikkas ain't even remotely the same and I have also called Nas out for certain shyt. And I didn't skip over anything. I spoke about the looking out for nikkas that's not family in the same way nikkas looked out for him. U posted charity. I never even spoke on charity. The other nikka posted some legit shyt I seen that Kendrick has done and nikkas keep quoting my old posts talking about I'm looking over it. All I asked for was examples.


We GAVE YOU examples though is what i’m saying.

And lets put the Nas examples aside. It was never meant to be a 1:1 comparison, people took it too literally. Nobody is above criticism but when your talking about someone’s CHARACTER, either good or bad, its going to illicit debate and selfishness is a character trait. I don’t think Kendrick is anymore selfish than any other MC whose wanted to be the best and recognized AS the best. Nas, Jay-Z, Pac, Biggie, LL and any other rapper whose been touted as the GOAT has had their “selfish” moments.

My main problem always been son throw stones and hides his hands. And nikka always had plot armor to avoid any real smoke before now. He move funny. See the shyt wit Big Sean. shyt like that is shyt I been saying for years but nikkas wanna say I'm buggin. It's whatever tho. Obviously only positive things are allowed to be said about Kendrick on this site at this point. Lol.

Where did he hide his hands? This dude been shooting at Drake for a decade and finally got what he wanted.

In terms of Sean...why are we talking about a leaked verse that Kendrick didn't release? It was shelved, he decided not to go that route. And when it leaked he told Sean there was no smoke and apologized. As he should have. What's the issue? Sean says there's no issue and they're cool so...what are we talking about. The "beef" was over a miscommunication and when it got cleared up they were all good from there.

I've made multiple posts debunking the idea that Kendrick never gets criticized or faces media fukkery so I'm not even gonna address the "plot armor" thing again. People aren't demanding positive Kendrick shyt, they just push back on weird attacks lol. I've criticized his last album multiple times, I don't only make positive Kendrick comments. But in light that he handled the battle near perfectly....of course I'm gonna be more positive than negative. But if his next album is trash I'll say it's trash.

Cole seems to be the most artistically “selfless”

Drake artistically is an opportunist

Kendrick is strategic
So a strategist isn’t an opportunist? This whole battle started off opportunistic with Kendrick jumping on a song with Drake oops to diss Drake on an album “dissing “ drake? His leaks with big Sean etc
