Drake is a lot of things to a lot of people. To some hip-hop fans, he’s their undisputed GOAT who has earned Spotify’s most-streamed artist of the decade. For others, he’s either just another MC with a few catchy tracks or someone they feel has ceased to be a real MC a long time ago due to ghostwriting accusations or simply following every trend to keep himself at the top of the mountain.
But for Kendrick Lamar, it’s a different story. To him, Drake embodies everything that Kendrick despises in modern hip-hop. And long before they were ever entrenched in the great hip-hop war of 2024, they were already going at each other’s throats in more subtle forms.

@@thadima1996 was about to say the same , homboy has been salty even in 2024
Mmmhmm
@@thadima1996Don't forget Kendrick called Lupe out on monster ,, long before control.in 2010 ,, if I'm not mistaken he even call out Eminem then, but IDK maybe in their eyes he wasn't big enough then.🤔
Notice how Drake was the only one who got hurt over that Control verse. Kendrick didn’t disrespect anyone, that’s why no one but Drake was hurt. They knew Kendrick was simply saying he’s going to be better than them. Drake just shows time and time again why people call him sensitive.
Majority of these situations is bc Drake puts his emotions over logic.
Facts
Big Sean 🤔
ehh, i'd argue there were others who were bothered by control. difference is when drake is bothered, he drops subliminal disses. which is why he and dot been subbing each other for like a decade before the beef was solidified with diss records.
@@gerald500dont forget j cole
Drakes biggest downfall was not understanding the Control verse.
The fact that he was the only artist that didn’t get what that was said everything you needed to know about Drake as a rapper.
Every other rapper knew what that control verse was and even the rappers who weren’t mentioned did a verse cuz they understood that was a call to arms and Drake over there like “why would he do this” lol
Downfall the guy who has run the rap game for 15 years
What downfall?
@@rosuzzieagnes124 rap game ?? Yeah no, he’s a pop star
Drake said of Control on Angie Martinez Radio show: "those were harsh words" 😂😂
@@rosuzzieagnes124anytime we're bringing up anything about him that could be any kind of criticism y'all always run to numbers numbers don't equal respect, Flo Rida is one of the best selling rappers of all time and absolutely nobody gives a fuck He's not even in the top 300 rappers of all time Not even in the top 700
Not mentioning the fact that a chunk of "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" was Quentin Miller's hard work is a disservice to both Quentin and rap.
Exactly. People always bring this up as Drake’s closest chance of having a classic but as you said, even if it was, we can’t give him that accolade because Quentin did so much of it
He only wrote like 4 songs
@@chiarosuburekeni9325"closest chance" lmao Take Care and NWTS are classics too and had a remarkable influence on music

I love how Drake fans forget about Kenny’s DAMN era in the mist of Not Like Us. He sold more than he did and the project was better.
Selective memory
EXACTLY!!! Like Damn LITERALLY sold more than More life and they dropped like a month apart.
What your comparing damn to more life lol drake way above Kendrick
You’re acting like Kendrick blew Drake out the water. More Life sold 100k less and wasn’t even marketed as an album but it doesn’t really matter tbh. Drake was doing his colonizer shit and Kendrick was definitely working on a lot more commercial records.
@@double0double0100,000 more records is literally blowing him outta the water short bus
If the OVO sweatshop and Drake stimulus package teaches us nothing else, it’s that Drake’s “love” comes with a lot of strings attached.
Also on pay for it by Jay Rock Kendrick says “I been dissecting your motor mouth till I break the engine” responding to drake saying “I’m the one with the motor mouth”
🔥
My personal headcanon has always been that Drake gave up on trying to make art when Kendrick dropped To Pimp a Butterfly, and his next album he went all in with the commercial sound on Views.
tpab was commercial too so why would that have demotivated him?
@@Z4NKA1 TPAB is the least commercial project Kendrick has ever made, it's one of his more controversial projects and arguably his most misunderstood. Views had Controlla, One Dance, Hotling Bling, and more commercial hits. This album was the reason Drake started beefing with the Grammys because they categorized it as Hiphop/Rap instead of Pop like he wanted. He deliberately switched lanes.
Bingo@@overlord6815
@@overlord6815 Least commercial for a mainstream artist like kendrick isnt saying much, and id say its more commercial than section 80 and mr morale
@@Z4NKA1 nah, that project was more art than commercial compared to the other two you mentioned. that's like saying the mona lisa was a commercial project that Da Vinci created to sell records
It's nobody else's fault that Drake is so far removed from the culture he didn't understand the sport of it all. Man literally disregarded the race issue within the awards from outside, let him live in his feelings, lol.
Drake is Kendricks Daddy. He put Kendrick on a real Stage in front of 10 of thousands of people who were all there to see Drake. Kendrick slapped Drake in the face with that control verse and was definitely an ungrateful slimey piece of shit for that.

People keep bringing up Drake asking Kendrick to tour with him but what they forget is the fact this is young still on the rise Drake. Not superstar Drake with the stimulus pack. Kendrick was the hottest thing going at the time next to Drake. Everyone wanted a piece of him. He was just crowned the king of the west coast by all the major player and Jay reach out for the feature. Drake benefited too by bringing Kendrick along. He was aligning himself with all of the hot up and comers to make himself seem even more relevant. Exactly what he does now. Y’all need to peep game.

not my first time, but I did kinda forget what he looked like lol
Same lol
i know, i was caught off guard lol
If you were here from the early days of the channel the narrator was a different person.
I was shocked
Serious irony in Drake actually saying "I enjoy making great music and bodies of work over being the talk of Twitter for 5 days" in a pubic interview.
Could have fooled me bro
Most ppl follow trends... Some follow their soul. Most ppl think numbers don't lie... Some ppl understand how they can be manipulated. Most ppl think popularity equates to greatness. Few know that being yourself is greatness. Shallow minds drown in puddles of thought. Hip Hop is a culture that has been infiltrated by the followers. Being a leader is not respected as much as it should be. Drake embodies what you want to hear. Kendrick embodies what you need to hear.

Drake wanted kendrick just like J.cole wanted to sign Kendrick to his label. Kendrick was the Hottest MC in his freshman year. Drake used kendrick for his tour and album,Kendrick never needed Drake's help or "Drake stimulus package.
Absolutely!!
I get it you don't like Drake but stop making stuff up Drake was the hottest artist in the game and has been for the past decade Plus he did not need to for his album or his tour what are you talking about people hate for Drake be having them just rewrite history and say things that aren't true
@@nottodayimbusy7146 you clearly didn't watch what the video was said
Drake can be the hottest selling, but that's what people only expect from Drake. He's only relevant if he's running his mouth in the Internet. because he need to keep people realized "oh yeah right he still in there"
as opposed to the majority of Artist that got "Classic" on their hand. only Drake like to being famous.
See what J.Cole do is what "perverse your career" looks like. J.cole already knew who he is, and what he stood for, J.cole didn't need to beef to say he love being chill and humble. so that's why he delete his diss track
On the other hand, Drake didn't have a character. he didn't have a voice. being so long in the game, surely an artist gonna develop a personality right?. Drake needs new personality and accent to stay being hot. what? Being British today do we? because UK drill hot now, what ? Being thug today do we? because you don't like other rapper call you soft
Drake develop new personality every year because he didn't have one to begin with
even his mentor Lil Wayne said "Keep it Canadian" that's what Drake is.
A boy from suburbs that's growing nerd type rap, not a thug. because he's not a thug
"Create an original product from your original self that you proud to showcase"
@@nottodayimbusy7146 during THAT time, Wayne was still running things. Drake only had Thank Me Later. Take Care hadn't even dropped yet, so yes, the OP was absolutely correct
He also clearly said he used K Dot and ASAP to show he was in the rap game and get a rap audience...rather than touring with R&B artists, which would have led to a different audience for his tour.
Despite the beef, I'm still listening to poetic justice😉.
EVERY SECOND, EVERY MINUTE
It is such an underrated classic.
Despite the hip hop battle between Kendrick & Drake both of them are two great m.c.s. and i am a fan of both those brothers.
Same
Drake will only have a classic album if he can write his own bars. that’s what kendrick was alluding to - drake didn’t write NWTS or take care, so they can’t be considered hiphop classics

Kendrick releasing To Pimp a Butterfly just 30 days after If You're Reading This It's Too Late is gloriously evil.
Like "congratulations, you just released your best ever album or mixtape; I just released the greatest album of all time".
Most people don't even like to pimp a butterfly to be honest they consider it boring which I agree with I don't even think that was the best album that year

This video online makes sense if you're 12 years old.
Drake realized no matter what kind of material he comes up with. It'll never get the love and appreciation it deserves. Which wasn't true coz we did like those albums and wished he kept making them
I agree i think drake has lots of amazing classic singles and features but no great albums because theyre too all over the place
It doesn’t deserve what it doesn’t garner
It’s crazy man when I was growing up in LA , niggas loved drakes albums especially thank me later and take care. All of sudden those same people are calling those albums mediocre 😂 damn shame
This documentary is nothing but FACTS! Kendrick is the GOAT
No he's not stop it he's talented tho
I dunno, he's great, but GOAT is kind of a stretch; I think Eminem and Jay-Z are way better.
Giggs being pictured in the stimulus package image is pretty wild cause that man been a legend in the UK rap scene since before Drake even mentioned his name.
The comments are missing the point being made in the video. He's not saying Drake doesn't have classic albums, he's saying that after NWTS didn't win Album of the year, Drake decided to make hit records and putting as many of those hits on an album instead of making a cohesive album like he did for NWTS, which is a widely considered classic album.

I think Drake has classics but it’s hard to compare with Kendrick’s classics because they’ve had way more impact
Drakes impact is far greater than Kendrick’s esp if you’re talking influence. Kendrick has impact in moments not albums
@@nelswebs DAMN won the Pulitzer Prize. To Pimp A Butterfly, is one of the greatest albums ever made without regard to genre. Drake’s entire discography is grounded in tremendous mediocrity.
@@laHagans yeah when’s the last time you heard TPAB lol I’m not shotting on Kendrick but drake has impacted the industry and music to a higher degree by far than Kendrick. Kendrick needed to beef with Drake to even compete numbers wise. Kendrick is like jazz, it’s great but hard to listen to sometimes and Drake is like pop, easy to listen to but not as much depth sometimes. By default pop reaches more people and has more impact
@@nelswebs I just played it today. I have never played Drake’s music. I do not stream and I do not buy it. His (Drake’s) mediocrity is too overwhelming. I despise it.
@@nelswebsExactly so when people are comparing quality their going to say the jazz artist has higher quality though the more enjoyable music is the pop artist. People respect the Jazz player more than the pop artists because if the discipline, talent and intellect that goes into that genre. The pop artist entertains you but they may not have the disciplines it takes to make successful music. Unless that pop artists is incredibly talented and ambitious that’s how it goes. MJ and prince were the exceptions is like that because they applies the same level of musicianship but different genre.
Either way people respect intellect more than amusement. They know when they hear substance and something frivolous, Which is why drake’s approach makes making a classic an uphill battle.
Just because someone gives you an opportunity doesn’t mean you’re forever indebted to the point where you can’t stand on your own as an equal or better…Shout out to Kendrick.
Exactly
As a producer and artist. Both gkmc and nwts were highly inspirational for me. Equally. But like dot said, as the years gone by. The substance in gkmc carries that long lasting and vital spiritual element to it.
The ad transition was smooth
Real ones know this one from 2018
Graduation was a classic too.

IYRTITL it’s a classic I remember everyone hoping on similar sounds, it really did change the sound of rap
VAILD
I think it was a combination of Kendrick and the meek beef that made him give up on the classic. Once the ghostwriting was exposed and he was still on top, he knew then he could rally do wrong as long as he kept the hits coming. I think that moment showed him that he has so much fan support, he doesn't "need" the respect that comes with a classic.
Kendrick is not the bad guy. All Kendrick is saying is that him and drake have something to address and it looks like they have not addressed it yet.
They clearly addressed shit in the recent beef
Is bro stuck in 2017?
Where has he been during all the beef? 😭
I’m pretty sure it would have something to do with Drake DM’ing Baby Keems girlfriend . Listen to the Family ties song again “ # 2 DMing my b**** / it’s cool ion ask why “
@@unusualcuriousity They did not adress shit. They only shot allegations. Nobody really knows why they hate each other. Some personal stuff we will never know for sure.
@@andrequedanca Me reading this comment when Kendrick in numerous interviews and TWO OF HIS DISS SONGS EXPLICITLY EXPLAINS WHY HE HATES DRAKE: 🗿
Don’t think adding Drake’s son to the thumbnail was necessary. A little tasteless, In my opinion. And IM THE BIGGEST HATER. I HATE THE WAY THAT HE WALKS THE WAY THAT HE TALKS I HATE THE WAY THAT HE DRESS…
i remeber he was conflicted...
He wasnt forced to stop trying to make a classic thats the thing, a classic comes organically and just trying to make one is where he failed
add segway was insane
Drizzy is not a kid from the hood and he cannot speak to the heart of the ABM, the ABM is the soul of hip hop, hate it or love it.
Something happened during that 1 tour back in the day that turned off asap and kung fu….
And its coming to a head now…
Indeed. Ironically, nothing was the same after that tour
This is the most concise reason why both of these artists are looked at the way they are,great job.
Take care is considered a classic by many doe
But most of that was weeknd stuff. Drake is like 30% him 70% biting other people's sound. I would say his first album was truly him. After that, he consistently used others people sound or other people's sound and bars
Lies lol
Nahhh to Drake fans and kids growing up around that time think that’s a classic. To everyone else it was big but that’s it. No one critically gave that a Classic album status. There’s nothing profound about that album.
the weeknd made a classic which is Take Care
@@MzansiStoriesOfficialI really wish people would actually understand the truth instead of just running with what they want to believe weekend contributed to the album by Laying some vocals and singing background and the hook on a couple of songs that's all he did oh and he gave him the beats that's it

When he went on that tour with Drake. Kendrick Lamar saw something that. Dude done the way he moveed,but one day it's all coming out? But it's a reason he don't like him,it has nothing to do with music. Why he doesn't like Drake..
Yea Kendrick is one of those people that if they don’t like you then they will never like you.
Drake, you already know. To quote Rabbit, You don't wanna battle; you're shook. There's no such thing as a halfway crook. Sit down child.
Question......why is it that when Drake through out the years of his career is doing the artist the favor? can it not also be ,Drake is getting on new Artist to stay relevant ...it can also be both !!!
1.What is Drakes sound?
2. whats his Rap only album?
3.Is an Actor /Singer/Rapper a true Rapper Hip Hop Artist as we culturally perceive it.
4.What is Drakes sound , stripping away his accents & Features🤔
I prefer Drake back in Young Money days , he no longer seems authentic , enjoying himself or true to what he enjoyed originally and TRUE lovers of the Craft will understand and agree.
'Nothing Was The Same ' is one of Drake's dopest albums if not the best but it just couldn't beat the hype that 'Good Kid Maad City ' has generated over the year. 'The language ' was a good jab at Kendrick but it went over most people's heads.
Drake became jealous of Kendrick because he didnt expect someone who came from young money and Lil Wayne to be surpassed. he thought he could "lil bro" Rocky and Dot. the best rapper alive was passing the crown and the control verse was Kendrick snatching it. its why Drake had to drop every year to prove his the best but deep down he knew he was 2nd best in every scenario.
I think drake was offended at control cause it was a shortcut in a way. As good as gkmc was people still slept on Kendrick but all of a sudden they were saying he’s as great as Drake even though he accomplished way less. ESP since Kendrick was rapping about being jealous of Drake. I do think Drake should’ve just let that man have his moment though instead of being sensitive lmao
@@nelswebs yeah you can't take nothing from drake, his part of some classic choruses and melodies we won't forget. Kendrick was just that thorn in his side he couldn't get rid of. Disrespectful bars is crucial element of hip-hop, when we're freestyling we're clowning those around us and claiming to be the best. Next person gon say the same thing
@@richiwillemse1481 oh I agree I think they’re the yin yang of hip hop, we need both. I do think drakes persona bites him in the ass though lmao
Drake has classics IMO his classics are Take Care, Nothing Was The Same, IYRTITL, and Views could be considered
Only classic is Take Care and even that’s up for debate since most of the songs were The Weeknd’s
i feel like this whole issue is subjective asf, cause what is even considered a "classic album"? Does Drake not already have any??
Drake not understanding the full context of Control was the start of his downfall because of his ego. He got in his feelings over something he didn’t find time to fully grasp and taking it as a complete shot to him personally. He was on the right path but when this happened, his trajectory of making a classic like Take Care & Nothing Was the Same became shrouded in chasing sales instead of making groundbreaking music for the public.
In my most humble opinion: Kendrick is the villain.
I think he truly believes he need to be the necessary evil to Drake's status so there won't be another to exist.
Yeah Kendrick is the real master manipulator of this whole beef. He planted this seed in people’s mind that Drake is a cancer to the culture. Like you said he’s the necessary evil to Drake’s status.
Gay take 😂
Nah bro is the hero. Exposing a predator for what he is on the worlds biggest stage. He’s captain America exposing hydra.
@@LoveyoDance Drake stealing from artists and taking advantage of any hot trend / new artist, signing them, taking their best work for himself. Something Kendrick never did, so in a way Drake is cancerous
There wouldn’t be another Drake either way. So many things went “right” for him to even be in the position that he is today.
as a cameraman/editor, my advice to you is - this type of videos do not need 2 cameras, especially that ‘side angle’, too wide and different from main. If you want to ‘hide the cuts’ in post, just overlay with whatever video or photo
10:10 I agree with Drake, he cooked
Facts. I don’t get how people don’t see this 🤦🏾♂️
Oh yeah Kendrick is a meanie but he real about how he feels and he stuck to his guns.
Not a dick rider but y'all are hating or just fishing for views.
He clearly has classics and songs that are still standing the test of time 5 years later.
Sucks to see how biased this channel has gotten. Used to be my favorite for rap coverages..
Not including “All Eyez On Me” in that classic albums is crazy work
bro still mad about a decade old verse
Because Drake has had unrivaled success in Hip Hop, I think his FINAL album COULD be a CLASSIC. He could speak on things no other artist has ever experienced and tap into the aspects of life that only he is uniquely qualified to discuss and really tell his story.
Just my thoughts.
You make the best videos my guy. Please keep it up and never settle! Happy to see you get a sponsorship
Thank you man, really appreciate that! ❤️
Drake was the only one b*tt hurt by the control verse and started acting weird... The name dropping was a sign of respect that flew over his head.
I feel drake will never let this go
He so sensitive
Whether or not Drake made a classic is up for debate, it’s unfair to say he doesn’t release amazing projects. SFG, TML, Take Care, NWTS, and If You’re Reading This… are personally my favorite Drake projects
Diss me & you'll never hear👂🏾a reply for it-"BBL Drizzy"
Why his son in the thumbnail 😂. Classless.
Nah Drake's contract will be the primary reason for that, not KDOT
It didn’t begin with Kendrick’s interview 🙄 It began with drakes interview with Angie Martinez and Elliot.
I tell people all the time ever since Views and Scorpion Drake has fell off completely and has been repackaging everything constantly to us.
People hate on the people that are the most like them. Kendrick was a regular goofy kid who was a fan of various artist. His success and his team transforming him into the Big Steppa/boogeyman. Both dudes are corny in their own way. The music speaks making them seem bigger. Kendrick using DMX to prove his point but DMX was promoting belly where his character was messing around with an underage girl 🤦
The issue labels don’t even appreciate albums anymore. But I’m grateful for both artists. Both dope and both totally different imo.
Kanye legitimately had five Hall of Fame classics in a row
NWTS is a classic album tho
IYRTITLis classic too no matter who wrote it lol😳
You dont understand hip hop culture at all. Pop rules don't apply. Ghostwriting is a cardinal sin- none of his tainted albums go anywhere near the word "classic".
No
kung fu kenny IS A CLASSIC
It says a lot when the rest of the rappers mentioned in the Control verse didn't get as offended as Drake did. 💀
So now people just rewriting history a lot of people actually responded and they were upset by the verse but I guess it was only Drake
@@nottodayimbusy7146 responding with bars in the spirit of competition is different from hurt complaining in interviews
Lupe and Meek Mill had the best responses.
1. The way this guy looks had me *shook* (not what I expected).
2. I can't lie, regardless of how the beef played out. The first half makes me happy that they're beefing publicly again because when I listened to "Nothing Was The Same" after he dropped "Push Ups" I realised that was my favourite version of him (despite it being the beginning of him trying to get street credit to get rap acceptance).
I'd love another album like that tbh.
3? - Ironically, Drake & Kendrick genuinely had great musical chemistry. The part people seem to hate to give him credit for is other artist's really suck when they go out of their genre (I didn't forget any of the trash features on those EDM beats, y'all). But both Drake & Kendrick body every different type of beat they get onto & yes, Kendrick - acknowledge it or not - has hopped on some wildly different styles (bodied them, obviously).
4? I prefer Dot lyrically for how he uses his voice and creates+adopts character through storytelling BUT (to me - but I also believe objectively) Drake had the better verse on both of their songs together. His verses were the one's people waited for especially on "Problems" because there was a time where that "and juhhhh, okay I got it.." was the line people I was around shouted whenever it came on (that's *NOT* to say people didn't go ham for "Halle Berry, Halle Lujah" just not as much for Drake's verse in my experience).
No Cape, just a few thoughts that came through while seeing the covers and reminiscing on the moments when they happened...
Truthfully all this said there's nothing in the world, let alone in HipHop like "To Pimp A Butterfly"
*Different.*
Take Care and NWTS are classics. They had an undeniable influence in both rap and R&B
Take care is a weeknd album...lets be honest about that
never heard of it
@@cracc_baby your fault. You only listen to the popular shit
@@BooksofBrilliance he only gave 3 songs🤦♂️ stop tryna take Drake's credit you're making yourself look petty
@@fatgumball7599yes those albums are influential but to call them “classics” is a stretch. To be a classic it has to be like a 10/10 masterpiece and Drake doesn’t have anything close to that.
8:20 His voice got deeper and more raspy from 2010 to 2012
That boy so tender!!😂😂😂 I remember he was mad at rolling stone because they were gonna put him on the cover, but A BETTER ACTOR THAN HIM DIED (Phillip Seymore Hoffman) and went on a long ass rant. Not recognizing the world ain't his. That's that lil boy mentality and behavior. Throwing tantrums because he ain't recognized. Like when he got mad his mom for not getting him a sandwich. He ain't built for the harshness. The reality. The cloth he's cut from is rice paper and he wants to stand amongst those cut from teflon??? Nah! Glad he's getting exposed.
13:57 😂😂😂😂 That was for Drake, I thought it was for Jay-Z
You saying drake has no classic albums stop it man
Every classic you guys try to name has several songs GIVEN. We not talkin help even we're talking about WHOLE SONGS.
Can you prove it, you obviously just looking for a reason to hate. R Kelly wrote songs for everybody and they are still classic. Lil Wayne wrote for people and they turned out to be bangers and are classics. Fat Joe wrote for people, some one can write a great song, the same exact song and give it to me and Drake and my numbers won't do anything and Drake will take off and have a millions of views in less than an hour. It's all about delivery. @@ZG-fx3ri
Take care, nwts, iyrtitl
