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.

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!"

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
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Monday, 6 May 2024 02:04 (five months ago) link
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

xp exactly - i don't think i've even listened to drake album but that's because i knew him from degrassi. the joke ended there but apparently he's just spent time making the joke bigger.

heart pt 6 is drake's best shot so far, it's not gonna win the battle but it's playing to his strengths, his highly idiosyncratic melancholy passive aggressive shtick
― corrs unplugged, Monday, 6 May 2024 07:44 (five months ago) link
How is completely misreading “mother | sober” and then saying “I’m too famous to be involved in these sort of controversied” when bigger artists than Drake like idk “p diddy” or “michael jackson” went decades without problem, playing to your strengths?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 6 May 2024 08:34 (five months ago) link
I mean the main point of KL’s addressing this is - receipts or not - that people like Drake are on an “untouchable” level and just reporting this pieces of shit is not enough.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 6 May 2024 08:37 (five months ago) link
thought it was Drake's weakest effort so far, would be interested to see the writing credits cos it doesn't sound like any of his ghostwriters helped on it, so many mistakes and weak lines
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Monday, 6 May 2024 08:37 (five months ago) link
Drake and his fans are idiotic if the winning angle they’re choosing is that rich, powerful people are somehow too noticeable to get away with doing criminal/immoral activity.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 6 May 2024 08:41 (five months ago) link
Oh don't get me wrong, he comes off as a complete idiot in the song and it's very weak as a rebuttal, but then again I think that's kinda the appeal, he's also a complete idiot on some of his best work (Marvin's Room, Started From the Bottom, Hotline Bling)
― corrs unplugged, Monday, 6 May 2024 08:41 (five months ago) link
Also regardless of lyrics in this whole thing - and as someone who doesn’t really speak english - Drake’s delivery/ flow is so fucking emotionless and dull. Sounds like he’s reading a recipe.
With KL’s songs directed at Drake, there’s drama, rage; passion… change of vocal style, emotion in the narration….
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 6 May 2024 08:54 (five months ago) link
Again I agree and there is no way Drake can win this, Kendrick is on a completely different level of both writing and delivery, he's actually been pretty creative with this and the Mustard beat is great
I'm just saying that if you like Drake's self-pitying passive-aggressive style, which afaik is what he built his career on, then he's back on track and it's much more fun to listen to than when he tries to play tough which is really just laughable
