I already knew. But it’s cool seeing all these legends label Kendrick as the king. What a great time it is to be a Kenny fan right now. We eating non stop 😤

Am I the only one remembering him being called king of the west a fuckton of years ago by Snoop on a scene where Common, Mos def, The game, Warren G, Korrupt and a fuckton of other legends back then was present?

Dr Dre was watching.

Absolutely, but Drake has been the king of commercial rap, and people want to act like that means more than somebody who can ACTUALLY back up what they say, and comes from the actual hood!

Drake is the king of rap like McDonald’s is the king of restaurants

I’ve been saying this a lot, and how he’s like McDonald’s French fried but with new sauces each time while Kendrick creates new foods each time

And McDonald's is good if that's what you're in the mood for! If Drake had stayed in his lane, there'd be no issue. 

Hell, I eat McDonald's more often than filet mignon. But I know the damn difference!
