It's not his faultSeriously if we’re being honest, Drake should be mad at J. Cole this is all his fault. If he would’ve never said we the big 3 Kendrick would still be somewhere sleeping Compton. J. Cole start running his mouth thinking shit sweet like they are all best friends, knowing good and damn well, K. Dot don’t fuck with Drake. He literally set Drake up and then ran and disappeared.
It's the "fault" of publications that called them that discrediting or rather not properly acknowledging other rappers from their class
Those publications made it seem like the distance between those 3 and the rest was such a huge gap that there's no way possible their class mates could come anywhere close to them
All three of them in their own ways bought into this over the years
