If you want the crown, or want to secure the crown...it makes sense to talk to the men who had it at one point. Kendrick has been prodding for this moment for a decade. I'm gonna assume he knows exactly what he wants to do and has run it past multiple people he trusts. Plus him and Nas got the same manager, plus there was that rumor that Nas (and Jay) are on his upcoming album. It all lines up IMO.
Nah this was a nice sentimental watch for me, just knowing the history of Kane & Rakim. Dope little moment in the hip hop archive. Salute to Nas for that.
As far as Kenny goes, bro is extremely calculated. Him not dropping a song because Like That is still on the charts, there not having a notable diss music video since Gameās Raid, Kenny being a student of hip hop, him living on the coast thatās created some of the craziest disses in hip hop history, etcā¦..he know what he doing.
Most of us aināt tripping.
