Drake and Kendrick Lamar exchanged their first Twitter DMs 15 years ago today 👀
Drake shared the DMs in a now-deleted 2019 post, where he reflected on past connections and posted the messages alongside DMs from others:
“Logged into my twitter today and got a quick reminder that time is in full flight…a lot of blessings to be aware and appreciative of for so many of us…take a quick moment to digest the progression in your life no matter how small or large. Then get back to it” — Drake
Tyler, The Creator recalls the time he and Odd Future turned down a record deal from JAY-Z to maintain creative control:
“He invited us to one of his LA homes and we just ate tacos. He wanted to sign us. I was like, 'Man, you're cool, but no.' [...] I was like, 'I just want creative control and to do everything. I don't want the shiny plane, right now I just want to sit on Photoshop, make weird beats, and I'll get there.'”
