My honest 2 cents:
I think Drake has the GOAT run in rap history, and i give him mad props for that. I think anyone in denial of that is a clown. so I will take his side over an overrated nikka like kendrick. I think kendrick is put on a pedestal because he was a lyrical rapper that blew up during the rise of mumble rap trash.
I also think Drake is hated on by so many here because he's Canadian. I think there is a little bit of jealousy involved. Definitely a "the biggest rapper gotta be American" vibe. But he's Canadian. I think that pisses people off whether they admit it or not. I think If he was born 1.5 hours south there would be a lot less shade.
That being said, he's not my fav rapper or anything like that. I do think he can rap. but he's not the nicest. I just take his side over kendrick, and I think the teaming up of rappers is weak.
theres an ADOS and colorism element at play here.
I bet Drake is even maybe a dual citizen because his of his Dad’s Memphis and Houston ties.
While submitting false voter registration forms comes with state and federal criminal penalties, it's extremely unlikely that a vote would ever be cast.

On the eve of the Nov. 15 release of his second album, Take Care, Drake tells Marlow Stern about his unlikely rise from half-Jewish Canadian soap star to rap superstar, his relationships with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, wearing a zebra Supreme jacket with Bill Clinton—and plans to get back into acting.

Wait till Kendrick and Kanye get on that “antisemitic” and Hebrew Israelite hotep Nation of Islam shyt…or even ALLUDE to it.
None of this is organic…This is a core violation in many of their eyes.
Even Kanye likes to shout out Chicago streets as if he was really in them like that because theres this notion that rap has to be gritty, poor, and dysfunctional.
Basically J Cole bowed out once he realized he couldn’t make Fayetteville, NC literally Baghdad on records
He should have gone the Little Brother route
