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.― paisley got boring (Eazy)

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 (four 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

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.

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…
― paisley got boring (Eazy), Monday, 6 May 2024 06:03 (four months ago) link
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.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Monday, 6 May 2024 06:42 (four months ago) link
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 (four 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 (four 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 (four 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 (four 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 (four 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 (four 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 (four 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

"6:16 in LA" and " Not Like Us" are both very good songs that I think will outlast this beef
― corrs unplugged, Monday, 6 May 2024 11:11 (four months ago) link
yeah Not Like Us is going to be an actually popular song because it's fun and got a great beat
Whoever is the DJ that is responsible for mixing “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar x “Work” by Rihanna in the club last night is a next-level genius!!! 😭 pic.twitter.com/9aAn9IBVzu— Tenille Clarke (@tenilleclarke1) May 5, 2024

what's with everyone demanding 'receipts', like since when have diss tracks ever had bibliographies
― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Monday, 6 May 2024 13:31 (four months ago) link
I'm sure I'm Doing It Wrong, but I've spent more time reading these raps on Genius than actually listening to them. so, whenever that kind of thing started.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Monday, 6 May 2024 13:51 (four months ago) link
lol good point. Genius feels like it's always been here and yet it's really relatively 'new', comparatively speaking.
like not saying rappers should be able to say any old thing regardless of truth but hell, Jay-Z's "Takeover" had a number of things that didn't pass fact-check ("Serchlite Publishing" doesn't even exist, per Serch himself), but it's still a classic.
obviously the claims here are a lot more serious, but much of it (as far as Drake goes) is common knowledge, things that had been done fairly openly or whispered about, and then some things that are relatively new, and as far as receipts go, they'll eventually be leaked quietly to TMZ rather than posted on their website, ain't no rapper trying to open themselves up to a long annoying lawsuit. not that most rappers would sue other rappers but Drake seems like one that would do this clownery
― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Monday, 6 May 2024 13:56 (four months ago) link
what's funny is that Kendrick did not even bring up Millie Bobby Brown iirc. Drake brought her up because he thought he had a slick Bobby Brown/Whitney joke.
