at the same time respect is clearly a core value for kendrick... just because drake is displaying shockingly poor judgement by not backing down doesn't mean that kendrick has some obligation to be the "bigger man" or whatever
sigh.
i'll continue with the basketball analogy...
kendrick was working on mj/lebron/magic energy and this is clearly a ja morant action. there's having a strong, disciplined core of values and the skills to execute... and then there's waving guns around on ig and flexing on teenagers.
very entertaining, yes. good for the culture as a whole? nah, not really.

I love diss tracks because they're hard to do well.
You hit your opponent with insults that make no sense, or that most people seem untrue, it's over before it began.
You have to structure them to where your big reveals come later but your smaller jabs have to be big enough to hold attention, but not too big to peak too fast.
You have to put in a massive amount of effort and made it sound effortless

*that to most people
agree that total radio silence from Kendrick would have simultaneously been the classiest and most brutal move, but failing that i'm totally fine with him dropping some of his best verses in years and reducing Drake to the status of a tiny little corncob man

since when is he responsible for "the culture as a whole", though? i'm not arguing for or against anyone (particularly with this latest one, jesus kendrick you have already murdered this man five times over) just, you know, if someone's doing some bullshit, it's not necessarily the best thing to let things slide for "the good of the community".

didn't say he was, but he's certainly one of the louder voices.
and i disagree that this will "end drake's career." chris brown still has defenders and a lucrative career. if people of that calibre don't get blackballed and censured, drake sure as hell won't either.

the label probably got the idea watching the nicki/meg war play out on the charts in january. hip-hop did very poorly on the charts in 2023 and the success of nicki and meg's diss records likely gave some label guys ideas about how beef could revitalize the genre commercially— jaime brooks ☭ (@elite_gz) April 17, 2024

Ppl absolutely incredulous at the idea of Kendrick going nuclear on someone trying to beef with him... in the "Kendrick Lamar will kill/body *insert name rapper*" thread is pretty funny lol. The OF/Loiter Squad level of trolling he's stooped to on this latest track is def a good warm-up for his upcoming film collab with Vernon Chatman and the South Park guys next year tho.

There’s better be something going on at Drake’s Comet Pizza, or it could blow up for Kendrick, especially when his own potential domestic abuse (hinted at in the Drake tracks) gets a spotlight on it.
