Do Not Sell My Personal Information
...Kendrick never mentions Millie Bobbie Brown, yet Drake willfully brings her name up saying he didn't fuck her...

...he did that shit, didn't he?
 
Heard the Drake diss and I have to at least commend him for that title of "The Heart part 6". When Kendrick does his eventual album rollout (and are we gearing up for one as some have speculated?), then we have this Drake track attached to that ongoing series.

On the other hand, this diss just highlighted what I dislike so much about Drake. The beat is nice, but he claims to have fed the Kendrick camp a story, but then says the insiders are clowns. So, which is it? And didn't Kendrick call him a "master manipulator"? He could have ended this right after "Meet the Grahams" with some type of post with the OVO HQ with emails, screen shots, whatever about this grand scheme.

He also addresses the pedo issues, yet there is actual footage of him with underage girls and proof Drake had to make an out of court settlement. Most egregious of all was this attempt to flip things by getting "Mother I Sober" wrong in that Kendrick was NOT abused.

The best diss was the title and the rest seemed like a self-own with contradictions and not even paying attention to past lyrics. Kendrick does have some issues (see Mr. Morale), but because Drake don't read it's not pointed or just false. The most irritating thing about it is the Drake stans picking up these issues and running with them.

I have a winner (so far) in mind, but I think the first rapper with legit receipts ends this.
 
Dudes I had no idea that any of this was going on and now came in here after listening to 2 hours of YouTube history of this here beef.

Amazing work in here lads.

I'm shocked people even think it's a battle of equals.

Kendrick and a large portion of the hip-hop community hates Drake. Drake has been the top performing rapper of the past decade and hasn't ever used his platform to speak out on anything or to help people of color. Drake's music panders to people in power and only enriches Drake.

In hip-hop, that's just not okay. There's a long tradition of people using this genre to fight for things that matter, and Drake just being part of the machine is a slap in the face to those who came before him. So, Kendrick has been sitting on this resentment for a long time. Combine this substantive critique with the whole "Drake is a pedo" thing that can attract the normies and it was time for Kendrick to come at the King--and he sure as hell wasn't going to miss.

Drake doesn't have anything against Kendrick like that. At most, Kendrick is just a peer/competitor who attacked him. The smoke just isn't there and it shows.

On one hand, you have an aggrieved party with legitimate critiques who not only wants to destroy his opponent, but make sure that nobody else in the rap game makes these same mistakes ever again. Kendrick doesn't just want to murder Drake--he wants to murder the entire idea of Drakeness and make sure nobody else sells out the way he did.

On the other hand, you have a pop artist who thinks this is a game or something.

It was never a battle. There wasn't any back and forth. It was just an execution.

TNT using bars describing Drake getting killed in Oakland as outro music was sublime.

And plenty of Drake's missteps in "the battle" just further highlighted this:
  • Using AI to create verses from Tupac and Snoop
  • Starting a song with his white mom speaking and then him screaming the N word
  • Saying Kendrick "raps for the slaves"
  • Misinterpreting "Mother I Sober" and then using it as a diss miserably
Dude is just so out of touch with the culture it's truly remarkable...

It can really all be summed up in one line:

"You not a colleague, you a fuckin colonizer"
 
He def underestimated Kendrick. He’s too big to be taken down though.
Eh, maybe. Kendrick could very well end him if he really wanted to.

If this is the end of it though, yeah, he can just lay low for awhile and let it blow over. He'll be fine.

Will be interesting to see who Drake collaborates with in the future though...
