i dont think Kendrick hated Drake until Drake took the defensive stance by subbing after Control. i truly believe if Drake doesnt acknowledge it or jabs back with a clear indication that it was a friendly fade, this beef doesnt happen
Kendrick went on to work with pretty much every artist he mentioned in that verse except for Wale, Drake, Rocky, Jay Electronica
Not saying Drake didnt have a right to react how he did, because its understandable, but i wish he was a lil more calculated with his reaction
I love Drake but I’m starting to believe all of this stemmed from that top rapper list (I can’t remember which magazine) that had Kendrick ranked as 1 above Drake post GKMC. I was actually surprised after I saw the tweet talking about that’s where it stemmed from (I wish I could find it) and then listening to Jodeci Freestyle and Over Here (June 2023) and it actually lines up with some of the lyrics and I feel like he felt a way from that point then Control drops (August 2023) and gets a ridiculous amount of buzz just seems like it really got under his skin and the rest was history. I genuinely believe that Kendrick had absolutely no issues with Drake until he started dissing him which I mean yeah it’s his right but honestly it’s a little ridiculous even as a Drake fan. Of course there is stuff we could not be privy to but going off what we can piece together potentially. From there yeah it’s evolved to something way bigger but just goes to show how the biggest issues can start over something so dumb
People still believing Kendrick went at Drake for altruistic purposes are idiots. Dude is a midget mindless hater who had to spend an entire career watching Drake be more successful than him and couldn't take it anymore when it turned into Drake and Cole linking up and being buddy buddy while also being more successful than he was at the time.
Don't even let me get into the whole other discussion about how mainstream rap is cooked commercially moving forward.
I think it’s safe to say you’re blinded by bias. Kendrick’s career moves would’ve looked a lot differently if he was just drowning in jealousy over Drake’s success in the mainstream.
Drake is "back" but all I see is Kendrick being mentioned itt
Drake was discussed in every Kendrick thread, lets be serious here lmao
and Dot did this on 6 continents, what’s your point exactly?
he did not lmao

Unc gramps and some of them Kendrick riders brought up Drake in literally every thread imaginable for months on end recently, be real

very dumb bro. imagine how many classics we could’ve gotten from these two smh i do feel that if Nas & Jay could peace s*** up, there’s still hope for these two, despite their beef reaching a higher high than Hov v Nas
hoping by 2032-ish we get reconciliation collab lol

I would honestly be shocked if they ever reconciled at that level but then again Jeezy and Gucci were on the same stage so never say never. Unfortunately I feel like Pandora’s box has been opened and I feel like both rightfully feel like they can never be the first to extend the olive branch

Yeah, Drake kinda started it from that RapFix list, then going on ESPN and having that interview canned. That's where 5am in Toronto came from, then control and the BET cypher.
Learning that TDE really had a Drake poster up as motivation opens the door for me to think there was underlying animosity between them both even before they met

Drake has always been more forgiving than Kendrick, dont think he’d be the first to reach out but if someone were to mediate, i can see it happening as long as it was genuine from both sides

Those 2 will never be friends or collaborators again

lived long enough to see Hov & Nas peace it up and Jeezy & Gucci do a verses man, anything is possible in this life especially when money is involved lol

For Dot it started on that first tour he opened for Drake
I’ll leave it at that

If you watch the Punch x Curtiss King interview, it’ll give you some insight on TDE’s mindset about rap in 2023 when Drake was pumping his chest from Her Loss to FATD.
It was mostly about Kendrick’s legacy (him proving he’s active, the best, etc.) and spiraled once lines were crossed on both sides because of decade long tension between the camps.
Some of yall really don’t understand rap is a competitive sport. Even Drake with this lawsuit. He’s a talented rapper who cares about accumulating capital, staying relevant, and wanting to be respected. But he didn’t learn from first time with Pusha that these battles will bring up salacious accusations that will damage his reputation if he engaged.

This was debunked

Hov and Nas came up in the same city around the same time and similar people. Both also care more about business than people
Gucci and Jeezy really ain't bout much. Just because somebody die out doesn't make a situation impossible to reconcile. Gucci was an addict that got clean
I think the Drake and Kendrick situation infinitely more difficult to comeback from because not only the slandering but the potential interference with business

Yeah pretty sure Punch said Kendrick realised drakes true colours during that tour. He was probably trying his usual lil bro s*** behind the scenes 😂

this a fair take. ima live in my delusion though bro, hopefully these niggas seeing they 40s and kids grow up sparks a change in these niggas one way or another
You switched on the guys and supported a hater, let's go
It was?
Yes, pretty sure Punch addressed it and some other TDE affiliates
