Midrick called Drake up in 2011 when he wasn't seeing an arena or 100k album sales

Then called Drake up again in 2024 when his last album flopped and singles were getting stale

A full circle moment for the biggest gimmick artist in the world 🫶

Was Kendrick using those artists to write for him and he was copying their sounds or he gave them a platform? He wasn't even on most of the songs lol wtf r u talking about
Mob Ties ref just leaked which proves Drake is taking someone's lyrics and persona and acts like it was some authentic s***

literally no one was saying this until twitter re-discovered the phrase and it eventually got to him. you mentioning Nice for What is exactly what im alluding to cause thats around the time these discussions started happening

not a single soul was saying this when he was using Houston’s sound in the early years

“The real Drake” and a video from 20 years ago when he was like 16 lmao.

This like reducing Kendrick to only ever being the nigga he was in Compton when he was broke and involved in gangs

Why would an R&B/Hip-hop artist who is the forefront of the genre dare to work with different sounds and cultures within the genre?

Like do yall want artists to explore or not lmao. Is Beyonce a culture vulture for doin a damn Country album

What’s your logic for him being a culture vulture?

And explain how Kendrick working with different cultures for Black Panther Soundtrack is different btw

"when he was broke and involved with gangs"

Almost seemed like you were gonna call him a thug

rather late

But they really should have because what the hell was that accent LMAO

iHype

Now that you bring that line up - when didn’t he see the club?

NoFace

accents been a miss but again, people did not care cause the music was good. no one was saying he was a vulture then

HURRYUP HYKEEM

That's a curator role, he's executive producing that b****. He copies none of the artists he works with neither does he act like it's nothing more than a collab, drake has that malleable thing with him, that adaptability which enables him to culture vulture

iHype

9mo

Nah, I’m pointing out yall evidence is weird and stupid as hell.

Kendrick probably had a lot of different viewpoints on the world, culture, and etc 20 years ago as a damn teen in Compton.

He done opened his eyes and evolved as everyone should do.

Why is it an issue with Drake doing that lmao
