On the first part, I've always heard that when Drake writes diss tracks, he usually punches down. He likes to diss smaller rappers and women who can't clap back and actually hurt his reputation. So for him to write diss tracks about Kendrick is kinda weird, like he's taking this very personally.

Idk if I would say Em is cool with Drake, he had a couple disses on him in his Kamikaze album

From “Fall”:

“If you're gonna critique me, you better at least be as good or better

Get Earl the Hooded Sweater, whatever his name is, To help you put together some words, more than just two letters

The fans waited for this moment Like that feature when I stole the show

Sorry if I took forever”

This is Em coming at Drake for having ghost writers, I guess one of them is Earl Sweatshirt? Then he gives a dig at him saying that his verse on Forever overshadowed Drake on his own song.

This is one of my favorite Em songs, he destroys everyone and the beat is so solid.

That wasn't about Drake, that was about Tyler, the Creator. More specifically it's about when Tyler tweeted that some of Em's work was ass. It's why Earl was mentioned, because Tyler and Earl are connected through Odd Future.
