Yes...u do...It's the reason why u were the first one to bring up Lamar in a Drake post...

We not looking at the same Twitter....

That's not what I've seen for the most part...But I can't argue with your circle of things...

The thing is Drake is THE STAR in hip-hop and is also THE PUNCHLINE. I don't think we've ever seen anything like this in hip-hop. We've had popular rappers that invoked hate. But not because they were deemed overtly sensitive, sing love songs, get tapped in the jaw by record moguls or post of passive aggressive flicks on social media...The whole meme with Drake is that he is softer than a strippers ass...

And that's what bothers his followers for the most part. There is still a certain scarlet letter that comes with being a Drake fan...

Luckily for his fans, Drake can rap his ass off when he wants to.

I say all this to underline my ongoing point.

Drake is a bigger commercial star than Lamar. Always will be. Sort of like MJ over Prince.....But the irony is MJ was still was worried about P...to the point where he wondered why people didn't take him as seriously as a songwriter as Prince (true story)....

That's Drake....He has the sales, the hits, the broads, and the movement. But it's obvious he wants the respect...
