All true. But Drake lost this battle over a decade ago when he "sold his hip-hop soul" for riches and fame. His miscalculation was how many people that matter in this, don't fukk with him at all. This is a battle that was held deep inside the culture, on social media, where only people of the culture's opinions will hold any weight. And Kendrick was the champion walking in. Drake did nothing to shake that image. I'm being completely objective when I say this wasn't even a fair fight cause Drake's shyt was being critiqued in ways that Kendrick's wasn't. People bringing up twitter talking points like that's not what Kendrick spammed for 3 of the 4 records. Not taking anything away from Kendrick at all. He was masterful in his strategy and was able to manipulate the culture in ways we haven't seen since 50 and Ja. But Drake will be fine. He can go back to his massive fan base and succeed just like he did after Push. Hopefully he can finally start living with the fact that this will always be what he is and will never get the approval he desperately seeks.
