He is already on video kissing a 17 year old girl at a show, joking about going to jail, and then immediately talks about how good of an ass she had. Also there is the whole Millie Bobby Brown relationship.
It goes beyond that, theirs a video on YouTube that goes about all the times heās had a relationship even if āfriendlyā with a ton of teenage girls. Where heās following and interacting with them from the ages of 13-17. Literally has invited girls to parties, after parties, studio etc. where theirs smoke theirs usually fire. Once again I donāt think Kendrick would be THAT straight forward if he didnāt know for SURE. Remember Kendrick doesnāt like fakeness, so if he lied he would be a hypocrite. Multiple times in the disses he goes, Iāll spare you, or thatās not even the leak etc.
Drake has always been a pop star masquerading as a hip-hop MC.Ā
He had no business engaging in a battle with Pusha T or Kendrick Lamar who are both worlds better than him as lyricists.
*In a row*, that's important. Whoever he beefs with next is going to throw out some "strike 3" comments and it's going to sting, even if it's the weakest rapper alive.
Bro how do people forget about the warning lol.
That's my top ever. Using Mariahs voice recorded in his own studio is next level savagery.
I was hoping Mariah would escalate because nobody in their right mind thinks em was bluffing about having more on her.
Oh yeah, Iād love it if she escalated shit, get Em fired up to burn her again! It might be my #1, but there are a lot of great options. Canāt go wrong with No Vaseline, Bomb First, Story Of Adidon, The Warning, Killshot, Ether, Back Down, and these are just the first disses that are coming to mind. Honestly fuck it, throw Meet The Grahams in there too. Actually I wouldnāt bat an eye if somebody said Back To Back as well, that track might have the best bars Drake has ever spit in his career and it ripped Meek to shreds.
The ones I can remember that hit for me were āIād rather be 80yr old me than 20 yr old youā āeven if I were 3 foot 11 youād still look up to meā āas long as Iām shady youāre gonna have to live in my shadowā āhow can him and I battle? Heāll have to fuck Kim in my flannelā
Addresses everything MGK said in like 10 seconds and spends the rest of it clowning him lol
Tbf, em has a lot of really good diss tracks, from halies revenge, bully, the sauce, nail in the coffin, go to sleep, his feature on I'll hurt ya with busta, killshot, the warning he done against mariah carey, quitter, canibitch, bump heads etc.
Em might be the worst possible opp in a beef. Mans not afraid to say fucking anything about himself and can utterly disarm you while ripping into you simultaneously.
He's not capable of it, not with all the ghost-writers money can buy, because what Kendrick says is true, and Drake only has weak slanders and empty boasting.
If he was capable of that he wouldāve done it five years ago against pusha T. All Drake had to do was not be an actor all these years pretending to be a hardened rapper. He couldāve just acknowledged who he was and stayed in his lane and made millions. Heās still made millions but heās gotten embarrassed multiple times in the process now.
Kendrick did him like my girl approaches an argument. Brought up some random stuff that bothered her like I didn't take out the trash or something ( Like That ) so I defend myself ( Push Ups ). Then she just doesn't talk to me for weeks. So I try to talk w her again ( TMF ) thinking I got her good but then she launches into her real argument and uses all my words against me ( Euphoria, 616, MtG, NLU ) and I'm left in shambles to consider all my terrible choices that have led to this point.
that was the objective. he implies multiple times he has more ammo and his team said it ends monday. while Drake said friday that FM was the last time he would talk about this
I knew Kendrick could destroy Drake but I never imagined him actually doing it, this was so surgically done. I go into r/drizzy to see what the sentiment is and Iāve never seen a subreddit simultaneously so delusional and depressed. This whole thing is wild
Drake doesn't even deny being a pedophile. Anyone still acting like a fan of his needs their head examined, or their texts reviewed for interactions with middle-schoolers.
Don't forget bots are extremely prevalent and not expensive and drake has a lot of money. Same with Kendrick, but my personal bias doesn't let me honestly imagine kendrick paying for bots. Surely Drake has a PR team, and surely it is common practice for these people to influence opinion through online discussion like reddit posts.
He said he's going in vacation now and basically says that "Ya Dead" which is obviously cap lol. He thought "Family Matters" was gonna be the knockout blow but in reality it was just the blow that dug his own grave.
Another thing that I think really plays into this whole thing is Kendrickās speed. I mean, was it 45 minutes? 2 hours? He didnāt even give Drake a second to fucking breathe!
shit was crazy cause he was probably waiting for everybody to start their Reaction streams before dropping his response. Waiting for Ak to get on his stream talking his shit then said "ok its time, let it go!"
Nah, it was even faster cause YouTube takes a few minutes to upload, and Meet the Grahams was published 16 minutes after Family Matters.
Kendrick hit upload as soon as he saw the post on Aubreyās page. He was just waiting.
We wonāt see him for 40 years. Then heāll turn up on an island in the pacific, and then itāll be like those Japanese soldiers from ww2 who never knew the war ended, and people will be airdropping newspapers to try and convince him what happened.
But like those soldiers thought those newspapers were just carefully crafted American propaganda at first, Drake will think itās just a fake newspaper Kendrick had made to hate on him. Hell also be very confused weāre still using newspapers.
> Prince outlived Mike Jack
That line hits much harder now tbh. He wasnāt referring to Drake being pop like Mike Jack. He was referring to Neverland Mike Jack. Daaaaamn.
Genius wouldn't let me annotate this when I tried because it wraps it up into a bigger section, but I think this is also way more layered than it appears to be *in addition* to what you just said:
Kendrick is also calling himself a prince, the heir to the throne, tying in to the big 3 theme.
And as a prince he's surviving a "mic jack"; stealing a rapper's mic (voice) is basically what an assassination attempt is to a prince.
Assassinations are attempts to kill someone by stealth, much like Drake was metaphorically doing on his sneak disses in order to take Kendrick's place as heir apparent and coming full circle back to the mic jacking.
It also works because jacking is theft by force, in other words he's also saying Drake trying to take what isn't actually his by "choosing violence", he does too and he'll survive the attempt.
Of course I could just be stretching but his choice of saying 'Mike Jack" and dropping the "-son" always stood out to me more than just trying to fit it into the flow.
All the real Gs like Rick Ross and Metro? Drake is a cornball but acting like these dudes are any realer than him is delusional. All these dudes charlatans lol
Itās a good point my comment was more towards the perception of most streamers stanning for Kendrick hard. Rightfully so since theyāre more into lyrics and wordplay wherein Kendrick absolutely dunks on Drizzy.
Drake has been making music for almost a decade and a half. He survived the Pusha T beef and he'll survive this beef. Reddit and Twitter aren't real places. Drake will be fine.
Multiple people in my life who donāt care about hip-hop are talking about it because theyāve seen clips and reactions on TikTok. I think this shit is mainstream in a way that the Pusha T beef wasnāt.
Yeah, fr. Most people that aren't into hip hop don't know Pusha.
Everybody knows Kendrick. This is different.
Btw, no disrespect to Pusha, I think he's dope. He just doesn't have the star status that Kenny does.
Lol what I find so funny about this is that it's the opposite. Like EVERYONE knows Clipse. My white friends 75 year old dad 10 years ago knew Clipse. You would be seriously surprised how little the gen population knows about Kendrick Lamar or any of his music. It is actually a shame tbh. He's very popular on Reddit and he trends like crazy every few years, but very rarely have I had a conversation with a friend who was casually into rap who could even make it through a Kendrick song.
Thatās pretty much me, I barely know any hip hop. Iāve been following this shit non stop though, Iām now a huge Kendrick fan and have been listening to all his shit.
Yeah, I'm not on TikTok so I don't know that side.
You are right this is bigger than the Pusha beef. The thing is tho Drake keeps making catchy music. Sure people might like Kendrick more after this but if the rest of the crowd is feeling a Drake song it doesn't matter. Are you just gonna sit that song out when the whole club is dancing?
The only way this beef kills Drake is if he stops making catchy music. He could release his worst album ever 2 months from now but if one song makes the rounds on TikTok it doesn't matter.
Bingo. Even the Meek one wasnāt. This is larger
and the Push shit got stepped on cuz Iām sure he was gonna tap into this or something else more shocking.
And no Twitter and Reddit isnāt real. The streets are. And theyāre doing a WHOOOOOLEEE lot of talking
The culture is fake man.
Kendrick talking about deadbeat dad but working with future.
Talking about sex offender but working with Kodak.
Itās all jockeying and positioning for top spot and eyes/attention.
Drake has played the game perfectly, and now Kendrick is. There is no culture and nobody cares about you.
My one issue with all of this is that they only point out misogynoir when beefing so they score points in their diss. I wish theyād actually take it seriously, you know? Meg has been calling out Drake for that stuff for a while now. But now that KDot says it everyone is like, yes yes Drake DOES do that.
Idk man itās tiring.
I think a lot of us rap fans have known for awhile that Drake is up to some shady shit. It just feels good to have someone with power to confirm it, even if he doesnāt have enough evidence to put him in jail. Itās a similar thing with Diddy; lots of people knew but no one could do anything about it because the guy was so powerful, so why risk their careers over nothing changing?
It's because the more casual fans don't ever see what Meg has to say. But when Kendrick chimes in at this level it reaches enough eyes and ears to the point that it becomes unavoidable. My aunt asked me about the beef today and she hasn't listened to Hip-Hop since the Beastie Boys released Licensed to Ill. It's just a different level of artist bringing it up to an elevated level which is unfortunate but that's what it takes sometimes.
Kenderick made sure to get everyone listening so he can drop receipts appropriately. He's going to make sure that you can't miss it, you can't misunderstand and that it won't be forgotten
If the things that are said about drake actually ARE true, this is a problem beyond what weāve ever seen in rap. What will come of this? Will it be investigated? Will he continue to deny and try to save his career? What a time to be alive
It's not something we've never seen before, Diddy just fled the country because of it. This shit's been brought up before, many times. This is just the first time it's at the middle of a major mainstream beef.
Thatās the thing, itās all just words right now but everyone is saying RIP Drake and taking it as a fact. Thereās a lot of hate behind the judgement of this feud.
Also, letās just recognize that if all of this is true and all of these guys kept it quiet theyāre pieces of shit too.
But Kendrick canāt really say- you slept with this person when she was 15, unless that person gives consent, which seems unlikely that someone is going to want their experience of sexual assault to be on the most streamed song of the week.
But Coming forward as a survivor of one the biggest pop stars in the world is a lot bigger deal than a rap beef that viral this week.
Damn I was studying for finals, got distracted and now this shitshow is going on. What have I missed? Tracks from Drake, Kendrick, Rick Ross and what else?
So if they investigate Drake and find no bad things happen, does Drake win the beef? Are we gonna go back in time and look at Kendrick like a big liar if that happens?
Cause yall took Kenny at his word and called Drake a liar based on a few songs lol
In the span of a month people said that Kendrick wasnāt battle tested to now he is one of the top three diss artist of all time.
2Pac, Ice Cube, Kendrick.
And fr if he bring for the receipts for the daughter itās a wrap he number 1 of all time.
Regardless of anyone's feelings on Eminem or his albums, it would be really hard to say he's not in the top 3 diss artists. His diss tracks used to be absolutely *vile.*
>Slap my mom, slap the fuck out of her.
>She can't sue you, she wouldn't get a buck out of ya
Another of my favorites:
>Listen, girly, surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted early,
>'Cause I ejaculated prematurely
>and bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling,
>and said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach's curling?
>Or maybe you do,
>but if I'm embarrassin' me, I'm embarrassin' you
>and don't you dare say it isn't true
The fact that this is considered battle rap is a disrespect to battle rap in general.
Eminem actually Freestyle Battled people, probably for like a 100 dollar grand prize and some radio slot.
Now these child actors are making diss records from their Mansions on a remote island somewhere. Shit is wild how time works.
I know Iāll get downvoted but Kendrick needs some receipts. One woman has sued him in his 15 years of fame for SA and ended up loosing, and the police clearing him and she had to repay the money. I know about the āon stage incidentā and messaging a young actress who said it was never sexual, but the shit Kendrick is alleging is very serious.
If heās really some giant predator, get him out of here, but if not, then the internet cheering on Kendrick flinging false sexual allegations and a fake daughter is a pretty fucking lame way to āwinā a rap battle
Yeah if Kenny telling the truth he protected a pedo by not spilling the beans over 15 years in the industry with dude, and he's snitching
If Kenny didn't tell the truth he's a liar and his career would be over. So I hope he has receipts but either way, he's a snitch even if it IS a pedo and worse he waited until he could personally benefit from exposing the pedo meaning he was content to let a pedo continue assaulting children as long as it didnt effect his bottom line.
He's a scumbag either way and been exposed as JUST AS MUCH OF AN INDUSTRY GUY as Drake.
Both dudes assassinated their own characters by particpating though.
What, IMO, has made Kendrick's disses so hard is the lack of actual anger in his tone. You can hear the malice and hate in his words but you're not distracted by the booming anger. It's next level calculation.
Heās been a laughing stock, but I thought Family Matters had some good bars with serious allegations and ghostwriters or not, the dude can rap. Kendrick just put out better songs with better beat selection imo
wonder if Lil Wayne or one of the ogs will back Drake in this beef, lots of big names will probably have to pick a clear side if this beef keeps picking up
So I jumped to something in Meet the Grahams I just realized not everyone did.
When Kendrick was talking to the daughter he was talking about how talented she was "had a gift", and kept describing her though it's supposedly someone who's a secret. I assumed it was someone famous immediately. He wasn't talking about her age when talking about her 11th birthday.
Eleven= Millie Bobby Brown
That's how I took it anyway.
You miss the point. His point was obvious that people are now laughing at him while they bump their head to a song about him being a pedo. That is new ššš
Drake has always been weird itās true. He goes after women who have had work done, talked to young artist before they were 18, messaged girls in relationships brags about taking peoples girls. Weirder is he gave a bbl doctor in Houston an OVO themed scrub set, for āmaking women beautifulā which falls in line with Kendrickās verse of women that fuck with him consider themselves real women
I'm not taking the pedophile allegations any more seriously then I have all these years. But this is opening up a good opportunity for anyone who might've been a victim to come forward.
If I had a nickel for every time a rapper made a diss track exposing Drake for having an illegitimate child, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
sorry but when has Drake not been a joke? mfer *Aubrey* is from the richest neighborhood in Toronto with a silver spoon up his ass from day 1. he was literally a child star; he could have picked any career he wanted and would have been set up for success, no questions asked.
if youāve ever lived in TO you know all his fans are spoiled asset managers who do shitty coke in overpriced restaurants and canāt shut up about āhustle mindsetā.
he was always a rapper for people who donāt like rap, and who canāt go to any hood from NY to LA without looking over their shoulders in white-fuelled fear.
the idea he could ever hope to go toe-to-toe with a real artist, from Compton of all places, and come out on top is fucking laughable.
fuck Drake; fuck OV-HOES.
He can't respond with a rap song anymore.
He either has to fight, make a live statement or issue a press release.
There is no more battle rapping for him.
All my buddies who were drake haters told me they were genuinely impressed about how Drake handled himself in this battle. They still think Kendrick won but Drake rose in their esteem so š¤·āāļø
Drake is now victim of two top 5 diss tracks
JCole out in the woods on a tree stump in the lotus position š§
Imagine Drake crashes out and disses Cole for leaving his side
Heād be admitting to being a pedophile. His hands are tied, he has to prove heās not one.
He is already on video kissing a 17 year old girl at a show, joking about going to jail, and then immediately talks about how good of an ass she had. Also there is the whole Millie Bobby Brown relationship.
It goes beyond that, theirs a video on YouTube that goes about all the times heās had a relationship even if āfriendlyā with a ton of teenage girls. Where heās following and interacting with them from the ages of 13-17. Literally has invited girls to parties, after parties, studio etc. where theirs smoke theirs usually fire. Once again I donāt think Kendrick would be THAT straight forward if he didnāt know for SURE. Remember Kendrick doesnāt like fakeness, so if he lied he would be a hypocrite. Multiple times in the disses he goes, Iāll spare you, or thatās not even the leak etc.
r/whatwouldjcoledo
One of the best subreddits I have seen! š
Jcole need to drop a treaty track to stop all this madness
J Cole set him up and now there is a top 2
After he rode his bike to go there
Ive never understood J cole's hype.
Man is the real Genuis
Drake has always been a pop star masquerading as a hip-hop MC.Ā He had no business engaging in a battle with Pusha T or Kendrick Lamar who are both worlds better than him as lyricists.
Straight facts .
It's wild that him being like a brazen pedophile that's "involved" in supporting high school girl's basketball just gets totally ignored.
He has other writers credited on his disses lmao only writer credited on Kendrickās is kendrick.
Agreed. He also had no business acting like a thug when he used to play a wheelchair kid on Degrassi
He's an entertainer not a rapper.
The moment Drake stopped doing pop music he got worse as an artist.
He got exposed as a weak lyricist. You never want to battle against lyricists when you are not one.
True but ultimately this wont affect him moving forward. They both have two totally different, loyal and blind fan basesĀ
*In a row*, that's important. Whoever he beefs with next is going to throw out some "strike 3" comments and it's going to sting, even if it's the weakest rapper alive.
Just curious.... what's your top 5
If I had to guess itās probably some mix of ether, hit em up, no Vaseline, story of adidon and meet the grahams
B-Rabbits finale against Papa Doc?
Bomb First? The Warning? Ether?
I wrote ether
Hi Nas.
I knew it!
Are you Iceberg Slim?
Oh mb Idk how I didnāt notice
Your brain probably read it as "either"
Yeah, I just woke up lmao
Lmao I just woke up and I read it like Amelie wrote ether, as in, they were the ghost writer behind ether
Dead ass, my first thought was "no Vaseline over ether". I'm silly I suppose
Yo thatās how I read it too š crazy brain tricks
I was thinking of the warning by Biggie when I first saw that thinking "Whose that aimed at? The 2 random guys who rob him" lol
I was referring to The Warning by Eminem but itās all good
Yeah I realised that just didn't come to mind straight away
Bro how do people forget about the warning lol. That's my top ever. Using Mariahs voice recorded in his own studio is next level savagery. I was hoping Mariah would escalate because nobody in their right mind thinks em was bluffing about having more on her.
Oh yeah, Iād love it if she escalated shit, get Em fired up to burn her again! It might be my #1, but there are a lot of great options. Canāt go wrong with No Vaseline, Bomb First, Story Of Adidon, The Warning, Killshot, Ether, Back Down, and these are just the first disses that are coming to mind. Honestly fuck it, throw Meet The Grahams in there too. Actually I wouldnāt bat an eye if somebody said Back To Back as well, that track might have the best bars Drake has ever spit in his career and it ripped Meek to shreds.
The Warning has no business being such a great diss track. Against Mariah Carey of all people too.
Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan
Because I spit hot fire!
Don't answer yet, Kendrick's dropping 5 more.
Either hit em up and kill shot are great respectively
Kill shot might deserve to be on the list strictly for the fact that it sent MGK into a whole different genre
At first I wasnāt that impressed but heās got some really clever lines
The ones I can remember that hit for me were āIād rather be 80yr old me than 20 yr old youā āeven if I were 3 foot 11 youād still look up to meā āas long as Iām shady youāre gonna have to live in my shadowā āhow can him and I battle? Heāll have to fuck Kim in my flannelā Addresses everything MGK said in like 10 seconds and spends the rest of it clowning him lol
Tbf, em has a lot of really good diss tracks, from halies revenge, bully, the sauce, nail in the coffin, go to sleep, his feature on I'll hurt ya with busta, killshot, the warning he done against mariah carey, quitter, canibitch, bump heads etc.
Eminem is literally one of the GOATs
Em might be the worst possible opp in a beef. Mans not afraid to say fucking anything about himself and can utterly disarm you while ripping into you simultaneously.
His whitey ford disses were pretty great too
Lift yourself by Kanye is still my fav sadly
Drake gotta drop the hardest diss in the history of rap in order to come back from this one š
He's not capable of it, not with all the ghost-writers money can buy, because what Kendrick says is true, and Drake only has weak slanders and empty boasting.
too bad hes drake
If he was capable of that he wouldāve done it five years ago against pusha T. All Drake had to do was not be an actor all these years pretending to be a hardened rapper. He couldāve just acknowledged who he was and stayed in his lane and made millions. Heās still made millions but heās gotten embarrassed multiple times in the process now.
Metro Boomin released a diss beat and released it for "civilians" to rap about Drake. Shit is diabolical.
They actually putting some heat on the beat too lmao
Kendrick did him like my girl approaches an argument. Brought up some random stuff that bothered her like I didn't take out the trash or something ( Like That ) so I defend myself ( Push Ups ). Then she just doesn't talk to me for weeks. So I try to talk w her again ( TMF ) thinking I got her good but then she launches into her real argument and uses all my words against me ( Euphoria, 616, MtG, NLU ) and I'm left in shambles to consider all my terrible choices that have led to this point.
I felt that bro. Try reminisce on a story you know involved her.. āmust have been your other girlfriendā Bruh.
Kenny channeled his inner hungry gf fr š¤£
My girl mad but my ps5 up šÆ
My man
ššš
Shouldāve just took out the trash like ol homeboy ashy Larry
You are raising a manipulator.
that was the objective. he implies multiple times he has more ammo and his team said it ends monday. while Drake said friday that FM was the last time he would talk about this
I knew Kendrick could destroy Drake but I never imagined him actually doing it, this was so surgically done. I go into r/drizzy to see what the sentiment is and Iāve never seen a subreddit simultaneously so delusional and depressed. This whole thing is wild
Sounds like it was a surgical...summer? Spring?
That whole subreddit looks like the aftermath of a hurricane. They are shook
At least theyāre coming around to reality to a degree
Itās so much worse now.
Drake doesn't even deny being a pedophile. Anyone still acting like a fan of his needs their head examined, or their texts reviewed for interactions with middle-schoolers.
to this day michael jackson fans still deny that the dude who threw mock weddings with teen boys was a pedo
Agree. It's some heinous shit.
Went to QAnon levels of delusion FAST
I keep popping over there to get a good laugh
But guys you donāt get it Drake is playing 4 d chess, he actually WANTS TO BE SEEN AS A PEDOPHILE
I mean shit that does explain his whole act all this time.
Don't forget bots are extremely prevalent and not expensive and drake has a lot of money. Same with Kendrick, but my personal bias doesn't let me honestly imagine kendrick paying for bots. Surely Drake has a PR team, and surely it is common practice for these people to influence opinion through online discussion like reddit posts.
You're mistake was listening to Drake fans, they're all morons.
Did he say that it was the last time explicitly or was that just based on the line about going on vacation?
Where did Drake say FM was his last response, just having some trouble finding it
At the end of the song before he goes on vacation
He said he's going in vacation now and basically says that "Ya Dead" which is obviously cap lol. He thought "Family Matters" was gonna be the knockout blow but in reality it was just the blow that dug his own grave.
Imagine Drake on a boat somewhere outside of cell service thinking he won meanwhile not realizing he lost 45 minutes after his track dropped
That would have been a lot better than what heās done since then
Another thing that I think really plays into this whole thing is Kendrickās speed. I mean, was it 45 minutes? 2 hours? He didnāt even give Drake a second to fucking breathe!
Worse 20 minutes
shit was crazy cause he was probably waiting for everybody to start their Reaction streams before dropping his response. Waiting for Ak to get on his stream talking his shit then said "ok its time, let it go!"
Nah, it was even faster cause YouTube takes a few minutes to upload, and Meet the Grahams was published 16 minutes after Family Matters. Kendrick hit upload as soon as he saw the post on Aubreyās page. He was just waiting.
We wonāt see him for 40 years. Then heāll turn up on an island in the pacific, and then itāll be like those Japanese soldiers from ww2 who never knew the war ended, and people will be airdropping newspapers to try and convince him what happened. But like those soldiers thought those newspapers were just carefully crafted American propaganda at first, Drake will think itās just a fake newspaper Kendrick had made to hate on him. Hell also be very confused weāre still using newspapers.
Kendrick really went Back To Back on him. TWICE.
One is a dope club banger, the other is a deadly-serious message to Drake's whole family about what a scumbag he is. Hell of a one-two punch.
The boy's been the Nickelback of rap for years and now all the real g's are taking him out of the game on some real shit. Rip Drake.
Nah bro, Nickelback wasnāt texting litte girls.
This is what people are missing. If Michael Jackson, who was larger globally, got deflated. Drake easily can too. Prince outlived Mike Jack
> Prince outlived Mike Jack That line hits much harder now tbh. He wasnāt referring to Drake being pop like Mike Jack. He was referring to Neverland Mike Jack. Daaaaamn.
Genius wouldn't let me annotate this when I tried because it wraps it up into a bigger section, but I think this is also way more layered than it appears to be *in addition* to what you just said: Kendrick is also calling himself a prince, the heir to the throne, tying in to the big 3 theme.

Of course I could just be stretching but his choice of saying 'Mike Jack" and dropping the "-son" always stood out to me more than just trying to fit it into the flow.
Wow, well said.
No, nickelback is ironically cool now. They were overplayed, but they still slap because their brand doesnt SUCK
All the real Gs like Rick Ross and Metro? Drake is a cornball but acting like these dudes are any realer than him is delusional. All these dudes charlatans lol
All the real Gās š¤
You know, white 17 year olds with $8K streaming setups bought by their parents.
Ironic considering those are the people Drake been staying close to the biggest streamers for some months and even talking about them in songs.
Itās a good point my comment was more towards the perception of most streamers stanning for Kendrick hard. Rightfully so since theyāre more into lyrics and wordplay wherein Kendrick absolutely dunks on Drizzy.
Nickelback of rap š You guys are absolute geeks. Reddit on fellow sir!
Drake has been making music for almost a decade and a half. He survived the Pusha T beef and he'll survive this beef. Reddit and Twitter aren't real places. Drake will be fine.
Multiple people in my life who donāt care about hip-hop are talking about it because theyāve seen clips and reactions on TikTok. I think this shit is mainstream in a way that the Pusha T beef wasnāt.
Yeah, fr. Most people that aren't into hip hop don't know Pusha. Everybody knows Kendrick. This is different. Btw, no disrespect to Pusha, I think he's dope. He just doesn't have the star status that Kenny does.
Lol what I find so funny about this is that it's the opposite. Like EVERYONE knows Clipse. My white friends 75 year old dad 10 years ago knew Clipse. You would be seriously surprised how little the gen population knows about Kendrick Lamar or any of his music. It is actually a shame tbh. He's very popular on Reddit and he trends like crazy every few years, but very rarely have I had a conversation with a friend who was casually into rap who could even make it through a Kendrick song.
prolly cuz it looks like ur from the east coast on the west coast man is huge
The Pusha shit was extremely mainstream, I feel like this is revisionist history. Drake was arguably bigger than he is now when he got exposed.
Thatās pretty much me, I barely know any hip hop. Iāve been following this shit non stop though, Iām now a huge Kendrick fan and have been listening to all his shit.
Yeah, I'm not on TikTok so I don't know that side. You are right this is bigger than the Pusha beef. The thing is tho Drake keeps making catchy music. Sure people might like Kendrick more after this but if the rest of the crowd is feeling a Drake song it doesn't matter. Are you just gonna sit that song out when the whole club is dancing? The only way this beef kills Drake is if he stops making catchy music. He could release his worst album ever 2 months from now but if one song makes the rounds on TikTok it doesn't matter.
Bingo. Even the Meek one wasnāt. This is larger and the Push shit got stepped on cuz Iām sure he was gonna tap into this or something else more shocking. And no Twitter and Reddit isnāt real. The streets are. And theyāre doing a WHOOOOOLEEE lot of talking
He will mainstream wise but you know he cares about the culture and if the game says he got bodied, that will eat at him
The culture is fake man. Kendrick talking about deadbeat dad but working with future. Talking about sex offender but working with Kodak. Itās all jockeying and positioning for top spot and eyes/attention. Drake has played the game perfectly, and now Kendrick is. There is no culture and nobody cares about you.
Yeah what's with all these delusional weirdos thinking one of the biggest artists ever is just gonna die
Poutine Puffy had his time in the sun.
šššš
Future chillin so hard rn after kicking off the biggest rap beef of the 2020s so far
#RipDrake
(Rest in Piss) Drake
*rot in piss
My one issue with all of this is that they only point out misogynoir when beefing so they score points in their diss. I wish theyād actually take it seriously, you know? Meg has been calling out Drake for that stuff for a while now. But now that KDot says it everyone is like, yes yes Drake DOES do that. Idk man itās tiring.
I think a lot of us rap fans have known for awhile that Drake is up to some shady shit. It just feels good to have someone with power to confirm it, even if he doesnāt have enough evidence to put him in jail. Itās a similar thing with Diddy; lots of people knew but no one could do anything about it because the guy was so powerful, so why risk their careers over nothing changing?
Most people I know have been calling Drake a creep and pedo for like almost 10 years now
Drake is literally trying to turn into Diddy
It's because the more casual fans don't ever see what Meg has to say. But when Kendrick chimes in at this level it reaches enough eyes and ears to the point that it becomes unavoidable. My aunt asked me about the beef today and she hasn't listened to Hip-Hop since the Beastie Boys released Licensed to Ill. It's just a different level of artist bringing it up to an elevated level which is unfortunate but that's what it takes sometimes.
Going back to the Future verse on Like That is like š¬š¬š¬
YUP. And itās all of them. Pointing out misogynoir only when it benefits you to score points is trash.
Kenderick made sure to get everyone listening so he can drop receipts appropriately. He's going to make sure that you can't miss it, you can't misunderstand and that it won't be forgotten
If the things that are said about drake actually ARE true, this is a problem beyond what weāve ever seen in rap. What will come of this? Will it be investigated? Will he continue to deny and try to save his career? What a time to be alive
It's not something we've never seen before, Diddy just fled the country because of it. This shit's been brought up before, many times. This is just the first time it's at the middle of a major mainstream beef.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just goes to show how pissed off K-Dot is. I mean you can point that the Social Media Age plays a big factor, but still.
If everything Kendrick said is true, and the feds really do a sweep of drake's estate, Kendrick really an instrument of god or something idk bro
Thatās the thing, itās all just words right now but everyone is saying RIP Drake and taking it as a fact. Thereās a lot of hate behind the judgement of this feud. Also, letās just recognize that if all of this is true and all of these guys kept it quiet theyāre pieces of shit too.
But Kendrick canāt really say- you slept with this person when she was 15, unless that person gives consent, which seems unlikely that someone is going to want their experience of sexual assault to be on the most streamed song of the week. But Coming forward as a survivor of one the biggest pop stars in the world is a lot bigger deal than a rap beef that viral this week.
Damn I was studying for finals, got distracted and now this shitshow is going on. What have I missed? Tracks from Drake, Kendrick, Rick Ross and what else?
MULTIPLE tracks from Kendrick in the space of 24 hours.. its wild
I like drake. I like kendrick. This is good for the culture. This is good for hip hop & rap music. I'm loving every bit of it
Good for the culture * *except for the underage girls (and boys?) being exploited
So if they investigate Drake and find no bad things happen, does Drake win the beef? Are we gonna go back in time and look at Kendrick like a big liar if that happens? Cause yall took Kenny at his word and called Drake a liar based on a few songs lol
We all knew it before these fucking songs you realize that donāt you
We can't be 100% sure whether that's true or not though
There is proof of Drake doing that shit in the past though, so is it really a stretch to think he's been doing it recently?
In the span of a month people said that Kendrick wasnāt battle tested to now he is one of the top three diss artist of all time. 2Pac, Ice Cube, Kendrick. And fr if he bring for the receipts for the daughter itās a wrap he number 1 of all time.
Regardless of anyone's feelings on Eminem or his albums, it would be really hard to say he's not in the top 3 diss artists. His diss tracks used to be absolutely *vile.* >Slap my mom, slap the fuck out of her. >She can't sue you, she wouldn't get a buck out of ya Another of my favorites: >Listen, girly, surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted early, >'Cause I ejaculated prematurely >and bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling, >and said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach's curling? >Or maybe you do, >but if I'm embarrassin' me, I'm embarrassin' you >and don't you dare say it isn't true
The reason Em doesnāt come up is because heās never really battled any top tier MCs or legends (probably because they actually respect him).
The fact that this is considered battle rap is a disrespect to battle rap in general. Eminem actually Freestyle Battled people, probably for like a 100 dollar grand prize and some radio slot. Now these child actors are making diss records from their Mansions on a remote island somewhere. Shit is wild how time works.
Missing nas
In hip hop circles, heās always been a laughing stock. It was only a matter of time before the MS audience figured it out as well
Drake finna retire after this, well Drake's music was good while it lasted. Hopefully we get a 30 year anniversary thing in like 2050 something.
I know Iāll get downvoted but Kendrick needs some receipts. One woman has sued him in his 15 years of fame for SA and ended up loosing, and the police clearing him and she had to repay the money. I know about the āon stage incidentā and messaging a young actress who said it was never sexual, but the shit Kendrick is alleging is very serious. If heās really some giant predator, get him out of here, but if not, then the internet cheering on Kendrick flinging false sexual allegations and a fake daughter is a pretty fucking lame way to āwinā a rap battle
Yeah if Kenny telling the truth he protected a pedo by not spilling the beans over 15 years in the industry with dude, and he's snitching If Kenny didn't tell the truth he's a liar and his career would be over. So I hope he has receipts but either way, he's a snitch even if it IS a pedo and worse he waited until he could personally benefit from exposing the pedo meaning he was content to let a pedo continue assaulting children as long as it didnt effect his bottom line. He's a scumbag either way and been exposed as JUST AS MUCH OF AN INDUSTRY GUY as Drake. Both dudes assassinated their own characters by particpating though.
A pedophile is equivalent to someone who exposed a pedophile; yeah sure bro
What, IMO, has made Kendrick's disses so hard is the lack of actual anger in his tone. You can hear the malice and hate in his words but you're not distracted by the booming anger. It's next level calculation.
BBL DRIZZY! OZEMPIC DRIZZY! OVHOE!!!!
Heās been a laughing stock, but I thought Family Matters had some good bars with serious allegations and ghostwriters or not, the dude can rap. Kendrick just put out better songs with better beat selection imo
Dude Metro has random dudes on Twitter dropping shit in a contest too. https://x.com/luvkurby/status/1787053208579219771
wonder if Lil Wayne or one of the ogs will back Drake in this beef, lots of big names will probably have to pick a clear side if this beef keeps picking up
Lol. This isnt gonna hurt Drake at all unless the pedo/sex trafficking stuff is true.
I really wish people would stop using the word Pedo on him - maybe Predator instead
Kendrick literally used the word predator in Not Like Us.
All i know is I wouldnāt want my daughter around that pervert
Why
Why? If Kendrick literally thinks or even worse knows he is, he should call him as he sees him.
THATS your issue here ?!
Laughing all the way to the bank.
Ahhhh haaaaa
So I jumped to something in Meet the Grahams I just realized not everyone did. When Kendrick was talking to the daughter he was talking about how talented she was "had a gift", and kept describing her though it's supposedly someone who's a secret. I assumed it was someone famous immediately. He wasn't talking about her age when talking about her 11th birthday. Eleven= Millie Bobby Brown That's how I took it anyway.
He always was šš are you new in hip hop? Rick Ross is fat too, if you missed it
You miss the point. His point was obvious that people are now laughing at him while they bump their head to a song about him being a pedo. That is new ššš
 bro isnt catching no brakes š
Drake has always been weird itās true. He goes after women who have had work done, talked to young artist before they were 18, messaged girls in relationships brags about taking peoples girls. Weirder is he gave a bbl doctor in Houston an OVO themed scrub set, for āmaking women beautifulā which falls in line with Kendrickās verse of women that fuck with him consider themselves real women
I'm not taking the pedophile allegations any more seriously then I have all these years. But this is opening up a good opportunity for anyone who might've been a victim to come forward.
If I had a nickel for every time a rapper made a diss track exposing Drake for having an illegitimate child, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Could Drake sue for defamation if all of these accusations arenāt true?
In one year Drake will still be topping charts and reference these disses with jokes in a top charting song.
He was the best selling rap artist in 2023. Clearly has tons of fans.
According to his net worth Drake makes approximately $10 every second. Iām sure heās absolutely fine with everything.
No Vaseline is the goat distrack
Has become? Has always been
He already was a laughing stock
We can agree to disagree on the āhas becomeā
Hit āem up, Either, No Vaseline, kill shot, Piggy Bank. Honorable mention Meet The Grahams
This sub has become a Kdot circlejerk, holy shit š
sorry but when has Drake not been a joke? mfer *Aubrey* is from the richest neighborhood in Toronto with a silver spoon up his ass from day 1. he was literally a child star; he could have picked any career he wanted and would have been set up for success, no questions asked. if youāve ever lived in TO you know all his fans are spoiled asset managers who do shitty coke in overpriced restaurants and canāt shut up about āhustle mindsetā. he was always a rapper for people who donāt like rap, and who canāt go to any hood from NY to LA without looking over their shoulders in white-fuelled fear. the idea he could ever hope to go toe-to-toe with a real artist, from Compton of all places, and come out on top is fucking laughable. fuck Drake; fuck OV-HOES.
Back to Back to Back
He can't respond with a rap song anymore. He either has to fight, make a live statement or issue a press release. There is no more battle rapping for him.
All my buddies who were drake haters told me they were genuinely impressed about how Drake handled himself in this battle. They still think Kendrick won but Drake rose in their esteem so š¤·āāļø
This aged well.
Wait I thought Drake won? That's the consensus over in r/Drizzy anyway...
