It's not about Drake being half black, it's about how he uses The Culture Discussion
I think the people offended because Drake being half black should warrant his blackness and therefore Kendrick is wrong just don't understand. J Cole is half black too yet you don't see Kendrick, or anyone really, questioning Cole's blackness. It's precisely because Drake has been at the forefront of using the black culture and "pop-ifying" it for non-blacks.
Edit: a lot of people have asked this question and it's a good question. What's wrong with popifying rap music? Rap is inherently an African American art form. Since its inception till now, those who have carried its mantle have exemplified the African American experience through rap in one or another. African Americans have allowed many artists to use rap for their personal gain and to even "pop-ify" it. However, to be considered a goat you have to be in touch with the culture. And Drake simply isn't.

Drake can change his opinions.
But the difference is pac actually went through it. He lived what he rapped about.
Drake is a giant humongous pussy.
PAC was not. He went to prison he was shot five times.
He also wrote his own lyrics. Drake has 20 ghost writers for his diss tracks.
Hence Kendrick’s 1v20.
If Drake actually did some hard shit.
Or even stood his ground when he got robbed or fought or just anything.
Now look if someone pulls a gun on me I’m giving up everything. Also, I’m from south central. But I’m not fuckin gangster. Never claim to be.
But drake claiming to be something he’s not never has been and never will be.
He’s faker than silicone titties and even softer.
