thinking about it i think that gets me the most about it is the way drake is disrespecting whitney, as a woman and as a human being. domestic violence is some serious shit, and using that just as a way to say say "kendrick you suck" without any kindness or compassion or consideration, yeah that's some ice cold psychopath shit, particularly when drake's other accusation is that whitney fucked around on kendrick with dave free. like what the fuck drake who are you even beefing with here? whitney's her own person, she belongs to herself. you wanna go after kendrick go after kendrick, not his loved ones. don't know why drake wouldn't get that, unless maybe he never loved or cared for another person in his life. that seems to be the case kendrick's making, and honestly the shit drake is saying and doing in this beef goes a long way to back that up.

Perspective of an artist from Toronto
I think if Drake and them hadn't completely intimidated everyone from supporting artists from Toronto that were deemed threats to him in 2012-2018 there would be a lot more artists from home standing up for him right now.He didn't do that so now it's 20v1 and since there is no…— IN LOVING MEMORY+ (@seanleon) May 6, 2024

The civility discourse surrounding this is the most ridiculous thing about it and is going to age like milk.“This is not just beef anymore - these are highly serious allegations being leveled by two monumental, era-defining artists! One leveling accusations of antisemitism and homophobia, and the other spreading the false misinformation that 'nobody listen to techno' and explicitly endorsing physical violence at the hands of Obie. How are we as a culture supposed to move forward from this – just go on and pretend it never happened? We are all implicated in this tragedy.”― waste of compute (One Eye Open), 6. maj 2024 18:55 (yesterday)

I mean the optics of the timing isn't great but there have been similar incidents at his mansion before because he publicizes his address so out in the open. a security guard got stabbed in front of it three years ago

the thing is now Kendrick isn't going to respond because it looks likely that he has possibly his biggest single since Alright (or ever) and you're not going to try to stop that momentum
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Tuesday, May 7, 2024 8:23 AM (five hours ago) bookmarkflaglink
this is so OTM, the problem for Drake now is that that he can't respond to it anymore because it's just an infectious song, you can't rap people into not wanting to dance to a great beat, you can't do battle bars to counteract it because people love to say shit like "WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP Imma do my stuff" or "then steeep this way then steeeep this way" or "Sweet Chin Music and I won't pass the AUX!" those are crazy deep bars it's just infectious shit that's fun to say because of the way Kendrick says it, Not Like Us has appeal beyond being part of this whole soap opera
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 7 May 2024 18:45 (four months ago) link
those AREN'T crazy deep bars
Not counting "Like That," "Humble" is actually his biggest single, a #1.

that's the benefit of a classic mustard beat - the instrumental itself is catchy as fuck, the organ riff has been running through my brain non-stop.
can't help but thinking of "hit 'em up," which was obviously vicious, but only had one verse from pac at the top and got by on the strength of groove for the rest of the run time (when he says, "y'all not even on my level, i'm gonna let my little homies ride on you," he's admitting that the rest of the words don't matter).
