“Journalist”
He’s an Internet personality. Not a journalist or reporter.
EXACTLY
Once people really understand this they won’t be so up in arms about anything dude says. He’s a court jester. Damn near a sit-down comedian. Nothing the man says is to be taken seriously he should only be watched if you want a good laugh.
I've never listened to two culture vultures have a conversation, and I'm not about to start today.

They're saying exactly what we been saying on this site.
Kendrick used those artists at the Pop Out. He could change the trajectory of any one of their careers with a single feature, especially the rappers during DJ Heds set, but he doesn't even give them a shout out when they drop a project despite them sticking their necks out for him.
03 Greedo said it best. A lot of those rappers at the Pop Out shouldve thought twice about jumping out the window for Kendrick, when Drake would've actually done some for their careers.

As the saying goes, you make your bed and lay in it.
If LA is happy with their situation, I'm not going to complain for them.
Philly nikkas should have spoken out more when Meek dissed AR-AB, but they only started talking about Meek's blackballing after his whole situation with Drake and Ab died down.

Pretty funny that they still can't grapple with the fact that Drake lost in large part because he kept expecting and demanding Kendrick to adopt his behaviors, and now post-battle his media sycophants are still making the same argument. Why isn't Kendrick saying anything? Why isn't Kendrick releasing a response immediately? Why isn't Kendrick posting memes? Why isn't Whitney following Mr. Morale???
And now we've circled back to why isn't Kendrick releasing more music (this time as a proxy for allegedly not working with LA artists despite all his albums being full of LA artists). If you notice a pattern it really boils down to "why isn't Kendrick as overly accessible as Drake." Why doesn't Kendrick provide as much content to consume as Drake does. Well I think you saw the answer to that in the battle, and it's one reason why Kendrick won so handily lol. So he should probably keep doing what he's doing no?
