Kendrick fan here but everything you said is also valid for Eminem fans too.

I think drake will take the duppy freestyle route, have some clear double entendres and metaphors and try the bar for bar route. I actually think Drakes biggest disadvantage is he can’t say anything about Kendrick’s woman.

Drake ALWAYS goes for the woman and it almost always gives him a psychological advantage, but when he tried it with Push it backfired heavy. So his only choice is to go bar for bar.

Lyrics wise Drake will hold his own but he won’t have the style Kendrick has. Just looking at “Like that” alone Kendrick had like 5 different flows and voices for a less than one minute verse and it all just worked.

Drake can match him lyrically but Kendrick’s style and approach is just creatively beyond Drake that even if Kendrick says a whole lotta nothing it will just hit.

On some inside baseball shii, it’s standard practice to send the song and what you’ve recorded, with an open verse to the artist you want on it — especially if this is an artist you don’t know that well or aren’t cool with like that.

If Drake didn’t do any of that I can see why Kendrick waited for him to do so

drake stand really confuse moving the culture with just being a popular album. Drake repackaging the most popular sounds of the time into the most commercially accessible form isn’t “moving” the culture

There are a ton of Cole songs and features that have done absolutely nothing, first of all.

Secondly, I didn't say every single Kendrick song does crazy numbers, all I'm saying is that he doesn't have to drop every five minutes for people to still care when he does. If Big Sean dissed Drake this song would not be #1. It definitely helped it, but it's not the only reason either

I'm not even speaking about numbers. I'm speaking about the last time he dropped music that as a culture, we truly gave a f*** about and played for months or cared to still be discussing for months after release. The last time that happened was with DAMN.

Does it move the culture or is he just selling records? Those are two separate ideas

that isn’t what moving a music genre forward is

That’s just called making popular music

McDonald’s releasing the Travis Scott burger didnt move forward new recipes of food, it was just a popular burger based off something popular at the time (Travis Scott hype)

Every Drake release has records that impact the culture, whether they end up becoming hits or not, that's my point. Kendrick hasn't had one of those since the DAMN era.

Maybe mentioning Cole is like when he did the Control verse where it's not necessarily a personal diss but staring up a rap competition again

Or maybe he's upset he went on tour with Drake but not with him or something

Streets are saying that Drake reached out to Kendrick to get him on FPS but they fell out for reasons that ain't clear.

Apparently Drake sent the record breakdown, his ideas for it and the beat then Kendrick agreed but then refused to send his verse in until whenever Drake had done his and shared it with Kendrick whenever that would be in the album creation process.

Then they fell out for whatever reason and rest is history. Cole had already recorded his hence the "we the big 3 like we started a league" but had to alter it after slightly

Excuses. If he really felt a way, he should have spoken up sooner. He took his time with his response so Drake/Cole are allowed to do the same.
