Then he clearly chased bad info re: the daughter and double dropped with a pivot to cover it. Pretty pathetic.
And bringing up pusha t…. Aint no one listen to that damn diss song in years. Zero legacy to it.
Lastly i dont like drake and i actually believe he a pedo/groomer. But this was a battle rap it was light work for kendrick he played it wrong by this stupid allegations. Just work him on the mic and this would be over in 2-3 tracks. Hes not as smart as ppl gas him up to be
"Also out in context, kendricks last album did not hit thr mark commercially." 1st of all kendricks gives a sh*t about sales, hes conscious, he cares more about artistry and message. Drake is the industry hoe.
