When Drake released his second studio album, many were surprised to find Kendrick Lamar as a featured guest. According to Drake’s producer, Noah “40” Shebib, K. Dot’s verse blew him and Drizzy away. During a recent interview with MTV, 40 discussed the process that allowed Kendrick to shine on Drake’s Take Care, shedding light on how he and Drake reacted to K. Dot’s lyrics.
“I guess [Drake] just sent it to Kendrick at some point,” 40 shared. “I had no idea. He had just sent it to Kendrick. Towards the end of the process, we got it back. I think it was pretty quick. He must have sent it on his own. A few days later, Kendrick sent back the verse, or whatever the case was. He was like, ‘I got this Kendrick verse!’ I’m like, ‘On what?’ He’s like, ‘On the beat you did.’ I’m like, ‘On what beat?’ You know?”
The verse, which touches on Kendrick’s first encounters with Drake, hit home. Drake then decided the verse needed to be on the album, as 40 explained.
“It was crazy for Kendrick to write that verse and send that back, about Drake and meeting Drake and his opinions and feelings on him and that. We were both kind of blown away by that. Drake was really clear. He was like, ‘I want to put this on my album.'”

I know ur mean the opposite of what u typed.. But some folk might take u serious.. KDot is the next to blow and 40 is cool and all but never touching Dilla, Rza, Premo or the Doc.. Swag my ass
Sorry younging, but while you were learning to walk, or still sittin in moms lap…RZA and Dre laid the foundation for what you lames have compromised into a no lyric, dance competition of a genre. YOU ARE NOT STUPID BUT EXTREMELY IGNORANT…RZA’s work on the “purple tape” is better than any CMR production and their best work was done by Mannie Fresh…so gain knowledge please and dont procreate until further notice
J Dilla is deceased you fkn fool
You took it too far by typing J Dilla’s name you fucking troll. Show some fucking respect. He is a legend. He had more talent them everybody on YMCMB combined. You should be banned from this site go fuck yourself.

I really loved the verse. I also like the fact that he’s so cute. I wanna ask him out but I’m afraid he’s gonna say no. It feels like high school all over again because I have a crush on a cute guy and I’m afraid to ask him out. I wanna just sing his name over and over.
Hahahahaha perfect. pretty obvious drake wants on kendricks tip
lol this was actually funny….
Ya are stupid haters, in this hip hop bizness world you can’t be acting like that, or you be staying getting small crowds and getting paid peanuts. If you had a big celebrity backing you like dre and em with 50, then you can act like 50.
ACTING LIKE WHAT? DO U KNOW SMALL SHOWS CAN ASK FOR 200-300 A HEAD? NO BECAUSE U SMALL MINDED CLOWNS ARE STARSTRUCK.
