This was 2011. Kendrick’s sound nor raps were dominating anything. He respected Kendrick as a peer, same as Cole and Big Sean. Which is why I do think he felt a way about Kenny turning down FPS. You gotta think Drake is a hip-hop head; his favorite rappers were Phonte and Joe Budden
There’s not one Drake verse or record that we can point to that says “oh that’s Kendrick all the way”.
Has he jumped on waves in the guise of putting different sounds/young artists on? Sure, that’s out the Jay-Z handbook lol
He had no reason to “leech” off Kendrick. Drake gave him his biggest record at that point with Poetic Justice
so you'd want to give your opponent momentum instead of deading it instantly?This has to be the dumb logic I’ve seen
OVHOBabbleIf you liked Kendrick, you lose respect for him because everything he accused drake of doing, he's guilt of himself
This has to be the dumb logic I’ve seen
Yeah I hope Kendrick acknowledges it in the next diss. Weird he won't bring it up and say drake lying
I didn’t think about it in that sense, and now that I look at it it’s possible because around that time Drake did a few features with Game. And it’s not like Game was super hot at the time either, so it seemed more political than anything.First off, I respect your opinion bc you clearly are knowing.
But I disagree bc Drake's whole thing, from signing with YM, is to shark off the hottest of thr moment. And that in itself is not a bad thing when you are trying to get into something. Nicki, Wayne etc, I get it.
And in 2011,he was coming out of Wayne's shadow into his own. He put Wknd on Take Care, and Kendrick. Maybe he did have good intentions at that point in his life. But we see what has changed overtime. He later tried to sign Future from what we know. Tried to sign the Wknd into a deal.....they would've both become sweat shop workers going forward. Look at PND.
No reason to think he wouldn't shark Kendrick for a few verses and a West Coast validity pass.
Bro you are a true full blown obsessive stan, its impossible to talk to nikkas like you...
SIAP but
Sound like he still poppin sh1t to meThis song is like a surrender
