Drake: [Kendrick] been doing the same bait and switch for 10 years where he drops a verse to hype everyone up and then nothing ever happens

[SunZoo]

Drake literally complained like a baby on the radio about Control, on some "no one will work with Kendrick anymore because he's so mean" shyt. He followed that by not doing shyt as Kendrick clowned him year after year, including being the first person to allude to him having ghostwriters. Anyone who lets this Canadian sucker turn the tables around and rewrite history has to be trolling. We had threads on all this shyt and the sentiment was NEVER that "Kendrick is afraid of Drake." Never.

Meanwhile we got nikkas trying to conflate Quincy Jones samples with getting your raps stenciled for you.

He's not wrong. I been saying the same shyt for years. nikka the most babied rap artist in the game.

it was clear as day when his fans got real quiet when it comes to him being an industry plant by definition.

People like to act like everything is organic with Kendrick but they don't like to admit that dude was also the biggest rapper over at Interscope after Eminem, and they're the main ones who created this concept of these mega albums full of super producers, big collabs, and expensive samples, and huge marketing campaigns.

Like we've seen how stacked albums like Get Rich or Die Tryin, The Massacre, The Documentary, and Em's albums were. And we've heard countless times how much Dre and his team was involved in mentorship and actually directing these albums from song selection + sequencing to how to lay down vocals. Kendrick's first album had Just Blaze, Dr. Dre, Pharrell, T-Minus, MJB, Drake, etc. It's easy to sound much deeper or artistic than you really are when you're rapping over a Marvin Gaye sample, and not every artist is going to have access to that.

They also have a strong distribution team and you see it with the heavy playlisting their artists get on DSPs or how their artists continued to be covered by blogs even when they aren't active. XXL admitted in the past that they were pretty much in a deal to exclusively promote Interscope artists in the past. This is why you'll see Eminem and Kendrick regularly in shyt like Rap Caviar when we know the audience for a playlist like that doesn't care about music from those two guys.

Sometimes I wonder what yall think labels do

They're in this business to make money. Promoting their artists is the whole point. They loan em millions of dollars to produce an album. You expect them to forget all the rules of business to forsake a return on the investment?

One also would think that kendrick started rapping in 2012 by the way some of you are talking

Now Dot an industry plant and got writers....

Can't take you n*ggas serious, y'all don't even realize the mental gymnastics y'all doing to justify being a fan of an artist.

 

[Serphoenix]

I guess Taylor Swift still hasn't given Kendrick permission. That or he's scared.

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

He's right about Control but when else has Kendrick done that?

…now?

No one did that. But go off

 

[Easy-E]

I just found out last week QUINCY JONES helped with dying of thirst

And yes I checked the samples. He was in fact a songwriter for the song.

Industry plant gotta be the most overused and misapplied term in rap

And they only use it for artists they don't like. Going by their logic, nas is a plant. How else did he get big name producers on all his songs for his first album?

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Pajama Clothes I think

 

[UpNext]

Nobody knows what Kendrick can do. We never seen him battle.

You need quotables for an effective diss song and we all know Kendrick is more of a story teller than someone with bars

The shyt he said on Control, Like That, Family Ties, etc was nothing more than name drops and empty threats. Nothing witty or remotely clever in the bars.

No the fukk you don't

 

[Born Rich]

Drake obviously didnt have a issue with him that’s why

Kendrick wanted beef with him

stop it, dawg…drake been throwing subliminals for years just like kendrick…
