Eminem went at Everlast twice in song form and it actually resulted in a brawl between both camps.

shit idk maybe obama did express a preference for kendrick, when someone knows as little about this stuff as i do it's not unlikely that the few things i do "know" turn out to be wrong lol
anyway, i've filled my thinkpiece quota - i'm with other posters here in noting that this is, quite possibly, the greatest rap beef of all time.
kendrick's last album was a thoughtful, nuanced meditation on cycles of trauma and conflict within marginalized communities, or at least i think it was, because i listened to it once and said "huh, that's very thought-provoking", and never listened to it again. kendrick's tracks in this beef are fucking fire takedowns of a guy who, let's be honest, was not just asking for it with "family matters", but has apparently been fucking asking for someone to go this hard at him his entire career. that "family matters" is itself such a weak diss track only makes kendrick's utterly devastating response all the more enjoyable - like, a good diss sounds even better when put up against a weak diss track.

The only think piece on beef worth reading was authored by Christopher Wallace
I mean, Kendrick's timing with the "Not Like Us" was brilliant in deflecting any attention given to Drake's claim that Kendrick's manager fathered one of his kids.

Yeah, Eminem escalated things with "If you ever see Everlast whoop his ass! Hit him with sticks! bricks! rocks! throw shit at him! Kick him! Spit on him! Treat him like a hoe! Bitch-slap him!"

In the sense that there could have a day of people amplifying the hints and allegations in "Family Matters" but instead there was about 45 minutes to do that.

see i don't necessarily see that as "deflection". i kind of see the first two tracks as kendrick warning drake to back off, and then when he started making accusations like, particularly, the suggestion that kendrick physically assaulted whitney... i mean that kind of thing, if someone's gonna bring that up in the context of a rap beef, i'd say all bets are off.

If I’m in Drake’s ear, I’m telling him to go bananas on ‘The Bitch in Yoo’ or ‘No Vaseline’ instrumental. It’s his last best hope.

kind of always struck me as odd that Drake is this guy from what was basically a Canadian Nickelodeon teen drama who has that baggage and then worked past it by acting chill to every peer until the exact moment they asked wtf he was doing after he asked their ex out in a moment of insecurity

drake failing some basic reading comprehension with his “mother | sober” bars. to be fair, that really does look like a capital “i” in the title

also was pretty clearly a song about kendrick's mom and her experiences with sexual abuse, not his own experience, but i can see why drake would be confused by someone writing a song that wasn’t about themself
