Yes

Drake is my guy but I agree, Drake didn’t need to react like that

This s*** right here

I literally can’t LMAO.

I don’t give a flying f*** what you think about Kendrick fans or how sensitive you are about Control. It’s irrelevant at this point. Drake literally posted Kendrick on his IG story. You need to get over yourself and your idea of “respect”. While Drake helped give him a boost, Kendricks Trajectory would’ve been pretty similar without his feature on Take Care. And Kendrick and Drake never had the relationship of Ye and Jay, that’s a silly comparison. They equals like Cole and Kenny.

Nobody in rap at that level is making it on their own I can promise you that. Drake gave him the look and Kendrick put the work in as simple as that

There's no way u Drake stans think like this

Yes but because he made F***in' Problems huge and that's how about 90% of people first heard Kendrick.

Swimming Pools

Yeah and I like a lot of Drakes music as well. It was stupid and clearly pretty petty.

You quoted me

Obviously it’s been years since that verse happened. I’m just explaining why Drake reacted the way he did back then. Drake felt disrespected because of all the things he did for him, which he didn’t have to do at all. Any human can realize that s*** hurts.

GIRL! I KNOW YOU WANT THIS DII-

Drake was a bit too senstive but when you have the full context of Kendrick reaching out to Drake to hear Section 80 first, Drake taking him on tour, putting him on Take Care. A relationship based on nothing but love and helping someone out where possible it just seems weird Kendrick acted like it was a random rap nigga that was his competition as soon as he blew up a bit funny style

The energy switched from these times:

and the other vid I posted above where Kendrick was saying Drake inspired his approach to Section 80

Ye also put him on the Yeezus tour too.

But that was for GKMC already tho I guess

gta v put him on more than drake

Yes but we'll do this thread again and again and again because no one ever likes to give Drake credit for anything

I learned about Kendrick thru his feature on take care.

So......

Put on might be too strong a word, he helped Kendrick grow though for sure

Yes and No

First time I saw Kendrick live was at Club Paradise tour and that probably put him on with a certain type of audience but you’d see his name around on the blogs and he had a Dre co sign and Gaga was supposed to be on his first single. Lol he was good as long as he is still signed to Dre and has GKMC in the tuck

Kendrick was inevitable, Drake or no Drake

True but thats not an answer to OPs question. Drake def helped put on dot

definitely gave him the look no doubt but I wouldn’t credit Drake alone for his rise & fame

I just see some ppl going with that narrative itt

Yes, Kendrick had his own buzz going at the time but being on Take Care definitely helped in someway. (He was at Ovofest too right?)

Good music always makes it to the top
