drake had that money in the bank contract, cashed it in, and lost.

[@Lunar.cipher]

Faced with such a situation what do you but try. But in Drake's case, I think he's blinded by the popularity. It's not about the talent but the work you put in.

Have you noticed how furious Kendrick is at Drake for disrespecting Pac? For the AI stuff and treating Pac's ring like a trophy? That's how we should look after each other and our legends.

I don't know if anyone notices how this man evolved from just being a rapper with a good flow and bars from the first cypher into a real artist that is able to touch on complex issues of modern-day human life. I think he grew the most as an artist and lyricist above everyone that came up at his time.
