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.
He started buzzing around Section 80, that’s when I heard him I didn’t even know he had released prior mixtapes till later but he was already in ascension by the time he was getting ready to drop Good Kidd Mad City, like I said comparable to the momentum Cole had around when he dropped The Warm Up, he wasn’t a huge star yet but you could just see it coming.
