Kendrick Lamar will kill your favorite rapper for money

i guess it’s for the best that they won’t confront each other at the Source Awards or whatever

Imagining young Drake at the Source Awards: “All I got to say is the Great White North got something to say.”

it's a lot of things but drake is the one who signed the artists4ceasefire letter https://t.co/43VBmgQQ3q

please keep psyopping me with this avalanche of incredible rap music, idgaf if the rappers are behaving with bad manners or hurting each others feelings, i'm frankly willing to run that risk

mostly otm

I think other genres should do this more often. In high school, my brother was in a ska band and they disliked this guy, we'll call him Mark Dan

They wrote a song called "MARK DAN, SHUT YOUR YAP FLAP"

lynyrd skynrd's entire career one long diss against their high school gym teacher

What is hiphop if it doesn’t have violence?
Chill for a minute, Doug E. Fresh said silence

Drake should probably avoid performing in California for a year or two though. That Oakland line was spicy.

"this is hard to listen to, in an affecting way. it's an amazing piece of art."

stick around for the whole thing. as a fellow OLD HEAD™, his final thoughts are pretty close to mine.

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.

I mean it's literally on video on the tweet I posted

Is there anyone who doesn’t work for Drake (this includes Akademics) who thinks he’s winning? Any other rappers that have his back?

People grimacing at this reminds me a bit of people getting mad at Jay-Z for trash-talking at the Grammys. During a celebration of hip-hop!

Canibus and LL went at each other over the span of 6 tracks and people talked about it like a soap opera, excitedly following it.

Now we get think pieces on beef.

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.

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

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!"

lol at the timing being the main deflector. rriiiiiiiggghht.

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.

half-expecting Drake's response track (if he creates one) to be "I'm Not Owned"

is it schadenfreude that i want to see wheelchair jimmy keep swinging?

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.

he'll just pay a ghostwriter to write his next one

Now I am up to date on this.

This guy’s storytelling skills of the Drake & Kendrick Lamar beef is elite💯 pic.twitter.com/6rwfvXBlr0

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 response put me to sleep

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

you should never have to get on a record and express that you do not want to have sex with eleven from stranger things, i feel

with this latest appearance ―and keeping in mind, all of us heard kendrick murder him― i think we should start to consider the possibility that zombies are real and drake is case #1.

somebody say you a sex criminal what you gon say “nuh uh” ?

to be clear, I'm just reposting stuff for internet points, I have no desire to listen to another Drake track

i ran when i saw a zombie tbh

“If i was a pedophile i’dve been arrested by now” pretty flawless logic there

I regret now talking about your son
and I shouldn't have contacted 11 until she was 21

ok wtf @ this Drake song lol there are multiple lines I literally couldn't believe, what a weirdo

meanwhile there's clips all over TikTok and Twitter of people going nuts for "Not Like Us"

half expected a "My name is Drake and I'm here to say" line

Lol milo

xpost Okay can't stop laughing at this for some reason.

The thing I hate about this beef is that it has me reading more about Drake’s life than I have in the past 20 years.

I still think Kendrick taking the QAnon route might not work out best in the end…
