No. It’s because Kendrick indulged in lyrical warfare with Drake knowing the nikka doesn’t write all of his shyt.It doesn't matter what Kendrick can do. The point is that no matter what he does, Drake has the type of fanbase that gives him plot armor, and really the public at large. A stan in here literally said "good or bad, at least he's rapping". The potency doesn't even matter, just about any move he makes is enough to cheer for.
The fact that you as a Kendrick fan or even hip-hop fan accepts the existence of a writing team in a battle proves the point. As @Black Trash! stated, Drake has no standard that he's held to.
If you're confident in Kendrick demolishing him, the idea of fuçking around and taking an L is contradictory.
He is engaging with a pop actor. If we were to go back in time to avoid creating this monster, gatekeepers and guys who had huge pull like Kendrick should have dismantled Drake a long time ago. No subliminals or any shyt like that
K Dot shoulda went after this nikka neck a long time ago. Not no subs on King Kunta, they let this nikka Drake fester and seep his roots into the culture.
They all coulda vanquished this nikka in 2015 when he got exposed, but instead they just watched Meek get made an example of and turned a blind eye to it. nikkas had to wait until Pusha T in 2018 to even have this nikka publicly humbled, and Push wasn’t even in his commercial prime anymore
J Cole, Kendrick, Future, Big Sean, Wale, who the fukk ever… nikkas was buddy buddy. So now y’all have Drake
