Kendrick actually saw a person die outside his Compton apartment when he was just five years old where in his mind, he realized that this type of violence is what he's going to have to get used to while growing up. He has experienced homelessness. He lived on welfare and foodstamps. Saw his friends die, even held one of his dying friends in his arms gently like he was holding a baby. Battled with avoiding the gang lifestyle that kept tempting him. Made a song titled Chapter Six with the lyric "Pray that we make it to 21" because of all the death he's experienced.
To see Drake think it's fun and cute and easy money, pretending to be from the hood/about that life/be someone he's not and never do a damn thing for the Black American community he bites from, THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY KENDRICK HATES THAT MAN!
Random Thought #21: I wonder how horrified Lan Wangji will be when Wei Wuxian starts more intentionally revealing things about how he was treated in his first life—things Lan Wangji wasn’t there to witness and wouldn’t have heard about secondhand like the particulars of his life with the Jiang, his life in the Burial mounds (first and second time), and his life on the streets—and Lan Wangji starts realizing that all the horrible things Wei Wuxian has let slip about his past treatment during the main story were in fact not jokes or false bravado.
