Drake - Family Matters (Kendrick Lamar, ASAP Rocky & Rick Ross Diss)

[ISO]

People talking about Drake “helped” Asap and Kendrick by taking them on tour when they were both already the undisputed next ones up. Migos, next ones up. Future, next one up. Weeknd, bet on himself and became the next one up. Only artist who ever benefited from a career perspective by “asistance” from Drake is PartyNextDoor and look where his career trajectory is going.

Drake put him on his first major tour which happened to be one of the biggest tours in hip hop history, gave him a solo feature on a multiplatinum album, and hopped on one of the biggest singles of his album and sang him praises publicly, he was posting K Dot music on the OVO blog back then.

Section 80 sold 5,000 first week and Kendrick was performing in small venues. If you wasn’t on the blogs and mixtape sites you didn’t know him.

If it was me I’d consider Kendrick’s behavior snakish. You glazing so you going to downplay Drake role in Kendrick’s career. This is angle Drake should have exploited more although I respect not mentioning shyt you do for nikkas out of good will.

I realized that line the first time I heard it. And the antics surrounding this battle prove it.

Yup, you see Rolling Stone called the beef in Kendrick’s favor already one of those publications that’s always glazing Kendrick.

I been saying it Kendrick got critics on payroll as well as bots and streaming farms which Drake already alluded too.

Kendrick was already on his way when he dropped Section 80, he was a freshman rapper with one of the biggest buzz around that time, every A&R and label head was speaking about him and it wouldn’t be a particularly wise person to make a guess he would be a big star.

It’s the same for J Cole around the time of The Warm Up, if Drake doesn’t work with Drake he still becomes a big star regardless. Good Kid Maad City would still be a classic without a Drake verse.

Seems to have the fans too, blogs like The Shaderoom which is pushed by mostly women, it’s unanimous that Kendrick won, every single poll has Kendrick winning even the Toronto Blogs.

Critics do overhype Kendrick but he dwarves the praise during this battle

This sounds ungrateful as shyt lol.

Section 80 was a disgusting flop sales wise. Why would labels be so excited about somebody selling that low independently?

Kendrick was on a great mixtape run leading up to it. The Dre Interscope connection blew him up. The recipe was a great single imo but it flopped and then interscope did what they do to push swimming pools.

Cole was the premier artist under RocNation. The JayZ connection helped him a lot, sideline story kept getting pushed back bc he didn't have any hits until he made workout. He was going to flop until management saved him

The Drake cosigns/features helped them and him mutually

Disgusting flop? It was an Indie tape, it wasn’t expected to sell huge, labels were excited because he was displaying a level of talent higher than every other rapper and he could formulate hooks and wasn’t stuck in a box of just being a great lyricist.

Kendrick wasn’t known like that a bunch of nikkas who caught on later claim to have been there from the start lol. Typical corny shyt. Drake was instrumental in his put on.

Son they tried to make like that shyt wasn't his actual debut album for years. He was fake independent as well along with a few other fake independent artists around that time as well. nikkas don't wanna admit the amount of industry help Kendrick had to get on.

This the song I’m actually playing in the whip

 

[kwazzy100]

"Okay, We got it. The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. We get that you like to put gin in your juice, we get that you like to play Bishop in Juice"

"When you put your hands on your girl, is it self defense when she's bigger than you? "

"Maybe I'm Prince and you actually Mike. He was praying his features will change so people will think he's actually white"

These were bars.
If he wrote those bars himself, I gotta hand it to him. I think most rap fans that don't fukk with Drake could agree, if he keeps rapping like this, he'll be respected more.
