Drake wrote on Detox at like 19.
Drake always been cold with it just because he used ghost writers doesn’t take away from his talent.
Drakes earlier music sounded a lot more polished than Kendrick

That Detox Drake reference don't move me
Whose to say someone else ain't make one for him, before he made it?
It's too many references for Drake for me to believe him at this point
He ain't never gave us nothing to believe in

Kendrick did sound like Wayne on C4 but that was the concept of C4 mixtape. When he was on a couple of songs on Game's BWS & YKWII vol.4 mixtapes and Jay Rock's mixtapes (& on their collab mixtape also) he didn't really sound that much like Wayne, (sure their voices were still somewhat similar)
It is true that Ab-Soul & Jay Rock were a bit more polished than Dot & Q back then. Q wasn't as aggressive and Dot wasn't as introspective/complex but they all were still spitting
To me Drake sounded more like Budden & maybe Phone early on, but with less depth and worse wordplay.
KDot & Jay Rock had a mixtape where they only rapped over classic New York beats. Outside of Jay Rock's first mixtapes and Game's mixtapes I'm pretty sure that was the first KDot project I heard & after that I went back and checked out Training Day. On the NYC mixtape KDot did basically Hov&Big imitations, check out Kick in the Door freestyle for example, he's basically mimicking Biggies flow and voice. Interestingly enough they also rapped over Shook Ones pt.2 on the mixtape, but obviously most rappers remember their BET cypher over that beat
Also to be fair, around 2009-2010, after Q and Ab-Soul had dropped their first (TDE) mixtapes KDot was the weakest member to me, I still felt he was talented, but I liked Gangsta & Soul and Longterm more than any KDot project.
OD and Section.80 really changed things a lot, but to me GKMC is where Kendrick proved that he's one of the best artists of his generation and not "just" a good artist/MC

well I'd like to think so, he could invest in his music
saying that, it doesn't really matter either because a chunk of A$AP Rocky's debut tape was done in an apartment and its the best release out of all the generation of 2008-2011 artists

He was with trey songz back then
Wayne wasn't until around the time so far gone came out
I don't remember what came out first, so far gone or dedication 3
