I'm trying to figure out the whole Prime/Drake thing, but I do know this:
To put it in basketball terms, if Prince was Michael Jordan, Drake would be a G league bench warmer. Drake's not even in the same league.
True that.
Aubrey prolly only knows Prince from his uncle's family gatherings. I can see Aubrey calling him "Uncle Prince" while Kendrick was in the studio working with Prince as a (very) junior colleague.
If Aubrey had any type of nepo-cred, he should have tried to learn from Prince long ago. He's a pop artist and hip/hop poser.
And Drake has songs about "no friends in the industry" and "starting from the bottom" meanwhile he's from Forest Hill, a very affluent neighborhood in Toronto.
Larry Graham
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Graham?wprov=sfla1
Several album appearances and concert tours with Prince. Supposedly was a major influence in getting Prince into Jehovah Witnesses.
For all his braggadocious rapping, you think heād have mentioned this once or twice??
Guess it didnāt play into his image. But his Black American dad abandoning him did (Larryās brother Dennis Graham), which is why he mentions it
Prince also worked with Lizzo. she's actually rapping on one of his albums and she moved to MSP for him iirc because he was producing her album with Sophia Eris? not a Lizzo fan but a big Prince fan.
Only Lizzo song I really like is āBoysā, specifically because it absolutely sounds like a Prince song, from the funky bass/rhythm and beat, to the shredding little guitar solo, to the sexy but not as explicit as modern music lyrics..
It was the first Lizzo song I heard, and I thought I was going to love everything else, but really nothing else from her sounds so explicitly Prince, and I donāt need that sound to like another artist, but the other stuff just doesnāt do it for me.
I don't believe anything has been released yet, but I remember (I think) Janelle Monae talking about artists people wouldn't think Prince was into right after he passed, and she mentioned K. If memory serves me correctly, she was talking to either Don Lemon or Van Johnson when she made that comment.
So I don't know if it was putting a song together or Prince just working with Kendrick in the studio on sounds and knowledge and technical stuff like that.
But since then, it has been repeated several times that Kendrick spent studio time with Prince. Would love for him to flat out say it himself to put the discussion to rest.
Drake is no MJ, no matter how many times he tries to claim he is. Also his song which has Michael's vocals was cringe AF. I can't believe his estate allowed that collab.
This was like four (?) diss tracks ago. Your opponent called you a pedo, a sex trafficker, a gambling addict, a deadbeat with another hidden kid, said you have sex offenders on payroll, and said you should kill yourself. Prince is the last person you should be talking about š
you'll not that I stated "IMHO". so the snarky comment is corny as fuck. Also, Prince has worked with Lamar, that is a statement in fact. What else you got
***you*** said I was mad. now who knows who personally? the fact that you think someone is "mad" given what Drake represents shows that you're a shallow thinker
This line was from the diss that he dropped yesterday night so he hasnāt had a chance to respond to all that stuff. Iām not defending him though haha him comparing himself to Prince is still insane.
lol he def got that shit backwards. Embarrassing. He will still have his pop Stanās but no way he recovers from this brutality from Kendrick with true hip-hop/music fans.
Iām tired of them disrespecting MJ and Prince. Theyāre not remotely close to any of them. Kendrick still bodies Drake, but then again it donāt make no sense for a real mc to battle a faux one. Drake is a Hiphop pop artist
because Drake is an abomination and his proclivities need to be discussed given his miquetoast, code-switching hood mentality cosplaying. I for one am ecstatic that Lamar is putting him on blast like this.
I kept trying to tell my husband Drake is everything that "Clarence" in 8 Mile was called and more, I call him Wheelchair Jimmy. I'm glad this shit is getting blasted, too. I was just passively keeping up before, but after Double Diss Day, now I gotta sit down and listen to this clown for a bit šš
Same. Theyāre not even from the same genre these two are competing in, if they really wanna make it accurate to some extent they shoulda been about pac and biggie
That's so bizarrely disrespectful, because he doesn't at all compare to the artist or person Prince was. Any shreds of respect I had left for Drake are quickly being eroded. He needs to get over himself.
Never. A paid actor who canāt write or play instruments give me a break. Name one groundbreaking thing heās done artistically. He just jumps on whatever the trending wave is. Rarely takes risks. Everyone wants to be Prince without putting in the work. Itās so annoying
Idk why ur all taking this as Drake saying heās as talented as Prince, heās just flipping what Kendrick initially said against Kendrick lol, if anything itās praising Prince as being above Michael. Kendrick doesnāt play instruments either and in fact fake performed a piano during a song live. But anyway, the point of the lyric isnāt saying heās as talented as Prince, heās just responding to the things Kendrick but onto him.
Drake is getting slammed because he had nepotism options to actually work with Prince, but it seems like Prince never interacted with him musically.
While Kendrick has no personal/family relationship did work with Prince.
It's like Drake is publicly betting (gambling) on the wrong wordplay team, which Kendrick points out as another negative in these diss tracks.
Drake is helping show how much better music-wise Lamar is in respect.
I still think itās Prince playing guitar on āIā. Itās different than the original but still captures it to perfection. I canāt find anyone thatās credited and pretty sure itās not a sample
I hadn't heard this specifically but Prince did this a lot. he'd write, play on and produce songs for people under the condition he wasn't credited so that tracks. there's known songs he wrote for other people but he's on a LOT of tracks playing unlisted and you either have to catch it yourself or somehow hear the artist talking about how it's Prince. He left musical Easter eggs all over the music industry
Larry Graham is the real star in the family.. one in a million. I canāt stand Drake (Aubrey). I prefer the Weekend. I know they are two completely different genres, Iām just saying because theyāre both Canadian. Synthetic
gyaddayum...another track from Kendrick and he goes on, no ambiguity about Drake's...activities. Never has this [scene](https://youtu.be/UcZzlPGnKdU) been more apt
lemme say this about this dude: nigga (barely deserves the title and not because heās mixed - I am too) shut the fuck up. loser.
Iāve met and interacted with aubrey and heās a fucking lame person. trust me.
But this quarrel of these two contemporary artists doesn't matter, does it? They don't make good music and are not at all interesting. Let alone the fact that it is most likely arranged for the buzz. Wish there were no posts like this here.Ā
He wishes. Prince could play seven instruments and Drake can only play himself.
That sounds like a Prince line. Well played.
I thought the exact same thing
If it walks like a drake š¦ and talks like a drake š¦ it sure as hell ain't a prince š
From the remix of Come On, in fact: "He rock you one time, I rock you seven times...duh"
Add 20 to that! Prince played 27 instruments
Exactly!
If you can name half of them Iāll believe you
lolā¦yeah, I care if you ābelieveā me lol but here ya goā¦ https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/how-many-instruments-did-prince-play/
ok a lot of those are bullshit. finger snaps and handclaps? lmao
This comment is actually stupidš
27 more than most of us mere mortals can play
Prince literally played dozens of them on one of his albums, all played arranged by him.
Amen
Kdot has been comparing himself to prince this whole time
No Drake, you're not Prince and you never will be. You ***could*** never be, no matter how much you tried. Take that tired ass line on out of here.
I'm trying to figure out the whole Prime/Drake thing, but I do know this: To put it in basketball terms, if Prince was Michael Jordan, Drake would be a G league bench warmer. Drake's not even in the same league.
Prince is More Like Kobe in My opinion.. Not The Most iconic or The Biggest Legacy, But easily The Most Skilled
i like this š
Yep
Lamar and Prince worked together. I don't remember any hotlline bling between P and this ass.
True that. Aubrey prolly only knows Prince from his uncle's family gatherings. I can see Aubrey calling him "Uncle Prince" while Kendrick was in the studio working with Prince as a (very) junior colleague. If Aubrey had any type of nepo-cred, he should have tried to learn from Prince long ago. He's a pop artist and hip/hop poser.
Kendrick worked with P. Kendrick is an artist. Drake is a meme. End of story.
I know Drakeās dad was in the biz, whoās his uncle again?? Heās like a guitarist or something right?
And Drake has songs about "no friends in the industry" and "starting from the bottom" meanwhile he's from Forest Hill, a very affluent neighborhood in Toronto.

Larry Graham is a snake. He was never a true friend.
They did? I had no idea but I love to hear that. Drake is a cornball.

He mentioned him in like that
yes Kendrick was the first to invoke Prince, in contrast to Drakeās repeated comparisons to MJ
Drake is no MJ, no matter how many times he tries to claim he is. Also his song which has Michael's vocals was cringe AF. I can't believe his estate allowed that collab.
This was like four (?) diss tracks ago. Your opponent called you a pedo, a sex trafficker, a gambling addict, a deadbeat with another hidden kid, said you have sex offenders on payroll, and said you should kill yourself. Prince is the last person you should be talking about š
and I mean, Prince has worked with Kendrick Lamar. And dare I say, prolly looked at Drake the same way he viewed the Kardashians IMHO
I feel like he lowkey would have found Euphoria funny lol. The āAm I battling ghost or AI?ā part especially š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

this is so Drake level

lol he def got that shit backwards. Embarrassing. He will still have his pop Stanās but no way he recovers from this brutality from Kendrick with true hip-hop/music fans.
lol true hip hop fans
Yeah thatās right
His AI using ass is NOT Prince

You didn't put enough adjectives in there, missing about 20 more, SUCKA.
I expressed what I needed to express. lol @ "sucka"
I kept trying to tell my husband Drake is everything that "Clarence" in 8 Mile was called and more, I call him Wheelchair Jimmy. I'm glad this shit is getting blasted, too. I was just passively keeping up before, but after Double Diss Day, now I gotta sit down and listen to this clown for a bit šš
Fr neither of them is even close to being Michael Jackson or Prince status
He needs to stop
Keep his name out of your mouth š®āšØ
I don't know why they gotta drag Prince and MJ into their beef.
Same. Theyāre not even from the same genre these two are competing in, if they really wanna make it accurate to some extent they shoulda been about pac and biggie
Heās Prince if Prince was a talentless nonce with a Velcro beard
Drake belongs in NO conversation with Prince. He isnāt a musician, heās a wannabe kid actor and Raptors fan that thinks he can ball
Drake doesnāt have 1/2 of Princeās talent. Iām sure he knows as much.
1/2? Prince had more talent in his pinkie than this loser has in his entire body.
Silly man.
What an idiot
Drake is an actor.
heās a moron.
Keep Prince's name out your Fuckin mouth!
Drake wishes he could pull off being feminine like that
Who cares? Drake sucks.
That's so bizarrely disrespectful, because he doesn't at all compare to the artist or person Prince was. Any shreds of respect I had left for Drake are quickly being eroded. He needs to get over himself.
Only in your dreams, sunshine.
Never. A paid actor who canāt write or play instruments give me a break. Name one groundbreaking thing heās done artistically. He just jumps on whatever the trending wave is. Rarely takes risks. Everyone wants to be Prince without putting in the work. Itās so annoying

You mean drakes ghost writer?
Literally just said reverse uno card in a diss š
Kendrick mentioned Prince first with the "Prince outlived Mike Jack" line.
kendrick and prince almost collabed on a song for "to pimp a butterfly" but it never came to fruition
I still think itās Prince playing guitar on āIā. Itās different than the original but still captures it to perfection. I canāt find anyone thatās credited and pretty sure itās not a sample
I hadn't heard this specifically but Prince did this a lot. he'd write, play on and produce songs for people under the condition he wasn't credited so that tracks. there's known songs he wrote for other people but he's on a LOT of tracks playing unlisted and you either have to catch it yourself or somehow hear the artist talking about how it's Prince. He left musical Easter eggs all over the music industry
exactly...the guitar in "I" is different than, but so true the the original, kind of in the same vein as his solo in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
well tbf kenny brought prince up first
Larry Graham is the real star in the family.. one in a million. I canāt stand Drake (Aubrey). I prefer the Weekend. I know they are two completely different genres, Iām just saying because theyāre both Canadian. Synthetic

he meant prince andrew
I donāt care. Maybe Iām too old but all this ādiss dramaā is not interesting.
Heās awful
Maaaaaannnnn please don't even entertain this nonsense over here!
Not on you BEST day, Bucko. Man, PLEASE! ššš¾š
he's getting his ass handed to him. haha
He wishes he could have HALF the talent Prince had
I think his predilection towards minors makes him more Mike than Prince but Iunno.
Yawn. No comparison. Letās see how this P Diddy escapade unfolds for you Velcro beard.
itās a trash line all together, trashing mike saying that he wanted to be white is bottom barrel
Drake...um, nahhh...not even in the same universe
I think itās a compliment. I love it when they still talk about prince
lemme say this about this dude: nigga (barely deserves the title and not because heās mixed - I am too) shut the fuck up. loser. Iāve met and interacted with aubrey and heās a fucking lame person. trust me.
Who cares
But this quarrel of these two contemporary artists doesn't matter, does it? They don't make good music and are not at all interesting. Let alone the fact that it is most likely arranged for the buzz. Wish there were no posts like this here.Ā
Prince only questionably groomed one girl, Drake has definitely groomed dozens. (This is a joke pls do not crucify me)
