The fact Kendrick has been pissing people off just off his ability to rap for the last 12 years is so f***in funny

Jealousy did, Drake talked about givin folk careers hella times and how they turned on him

based

Jodeci freestyle (see my post)

"Fuck them niggas this year / I make Forbes list / F*** your list" -- 5AM

"Please stop arguing about who's the best MC / I think everyone would agree they know that you're not" -- Jodeci Freestyle

"Ever since YouTube / niggas been callin' me the leader of the new school /
F*** with me, dawg" -- No New Friends

Weren’t they touring together at that time? Kendrick was the opener on the Yeezus tour

Yeah Kanye’s hate towards Kendrick is just rooted in jealousy, he doesn’t have any actual issues

So nobody gonna post the list

looking back on how much weight a list like that carried back then is wild especially with how disconnected hip hop and traditional music media have been since the rise of social media lol, feels like ancient times lmao

this was a fun era tho ngl, kind of a crossover period where traditional outlets still had influence but twitter, youtube etc slowly started becoming key for artists to have more agency and connect directly with fans to fuel the convo and shape the narrative on their own like there was that short window where both sides were perfectly balanced, kinda miss this dynamic but it was never going to last

I just looked that list up and he had the right to feel a way lol

Yes but niggas want you to believe that Control happened for no reason

Been dissecting your motormouth until I break down the engine,” on the surface, it’s a regular bar until you realize it came out October 2014 after Drake said, “I am the kid with the motor mouth, I am the one you should worry 'bout,” in 2013.

Those lists were a big deal in the 2000s, especially.

It's almost 2026.....

Yeah, and nothing been the same since they dropped Control and tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes.

I think kanye hates it anytime anyone seems like they get any form of institutional acceptance. For as much as Kanye pushes away/sabotages institutional support with his insane antics, he really deeply craves to be accepted by the people he’s often insulting (fashion industry is best example of this especially historically - also why he was always jealous of Virgil). I think he can’t stand that Kendrick gets to be the golden child of winning awards, think pieces in white magazines, etc. he’s done this with a few other artists too. Dude desperately needs to get over whatever weird ass complex this is especially when he is (was) so successful

These are all about Kanye lmao

Besides the last one

Kendrick was on GKMC tour and Drake and Cole is shading him on Jodeci Freestyle about it, even the cover of the song. Dot had just posted about his birthday with 2Teez looking wild and they dropped that a few days later

same way Dot tweeted at HOV “smh” then Drake dropped Girls Love Beyonce lmao

they was really being slick with each other before s*** finally popped off

it was an honest mistake

Jodeci Freestyle is like 8 bars that could be about Dot and Ye building up to that line bro lmao, nigga Drake even said “we move the operation to Cali”

We move the operation to cali soon as the snow drop lmao that don’t mean it’s about Kendrick man

Nigga literally says “everyone can agree we know that ur not I know I’m sure shot middle finger poking u in ur sore spot” which is referring to the rant Kanye went on about the list. Then he say “either I’m getting bigger or ur just getting small or is both nigga”

could be Drake doing boss talk to Dot as well

Billboard wrote an article calling that nigga a mogul a week before Control dropped

they was definitely keeping tabs on each other

he’s not over being black balled from the Taylor incident honestly. That pop run he was on got taken away quick fast and he never got that support ever again so it’s been war for him ever since. That’s why he gets tight at those that get the acceptance (Drake, Kendrick, and even Bad Bunny lol)
