i spent some time looking at kendrick lamar reddit yesterday a great use of my time no doubt and would be happy to explain
https://i.imgur.com/uxlfLge.png
kendrick has this as the cover to meet the grahams which is stuff purported to belong to drake, some prescriptions a receipt from a jewelry store and clothing
drake then says in his latest song that the photo was a plant from his crew to set up kendrick to make false claims and look dumb
but THEN this twitter account @EbonyPrince2k24 shows up with a video of the stuff proving that drakes people couldnt have planted a photo since they dont have the stuff EbonyPrince2k24 does
EbonyPrince2k24 also implies that drake did something shady at the same place that he lost the stuff, they post a security camera photo of the lobby of the mark hotel in manhattan of drake and a local journalist in a wheelchair saying "Jimmy Brooks would not have been proud of you that night", referring to drakes character wheelchair jimmy on degrassi implying that drake did something shameful to the journalist, theyve since been trying to sell the video of the incident for crypto, seems like theyre an employee of the hotel who has experience cleaning up after celebs
#1. King @kendricklamar is not a liar, and I am not a thief!#2. Mr. Aubrey Graham (@Drake) & Mr. Livingston Allen (@Akademiks) have until noon Monday 5/13/24 to retract your claims of theft, or my attorney Ms. Adrienne Edward and I will exhaust every legal option available. pic.twitter.com/Mm6TBjMiXc— EbonyPrince2k24 (@EbonyPrince2k24) May 11, 2024
To Mr. Aubrey Graham (@Drake ), may this photo help jog your memory as to where you discarded those items. The issue in the photo should also jog your memory. Jimmy Brooks would not have been proud of you that night... pic.twitter.com/QnPFsIERO7— EbonyPrince2k24 (@EbonyPrince2k24) May 11, 2024

I really feel like the perpetually online culture is ruining rap beef
We had a perfectly good, albeit one-sided battle on "wax", now everyone is screaming for receipts, conducting amateur detective work, doing fan theories, creating threaded conspiracy boards, and it's like....
Once upon a time all ya did was yell "OHHHHHHHHHHHH!" when the beat dropped out and that was pleasure enough.
With that being said if the latest has the potential to make DRAKE LOOK EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS

She’s not wrong. Extra points for (surprisingly) bugging up Homeboy Sandman.

"she's not wrong"
right. the author cannot be wrong about their own fantasy world.

azealia far from boring, give you that much
"women and geminis know things" not her best work (grimes smelling like a roll of nickels)
― lag∞n, Sunday, 12 May 2024 23:52 (six months ago) link
Azealia bringing Biden into the beef is exactly why calling someone a pedophile in a sing-song catchy way isn't so different from what Trump does (even with hints and allegations).

not like us and euphoria are both gonna be in the top 3, idk about family matters but you'd think it'll be way up there too.

Euphoria debuted at #11 on the Billboard 100Push-ups is at #17

twitter is once again shadowbanning chart data, so we may never know
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Monday, 13 May 2024 14:09 (six months ago) link
That #11 is from only two days of streaming though

"Not Like Us" will be eligible for next week's chart but was only available for 5 days of that week

saw that it had the most streams for any rap song ever with some criteria that i dont remember
― lag∞n, Monday, 13 May 2024 14:21 (six months ago) link
It had most streams for a rap song in a single day-- 6.8 million
― A So-Called Pulitzer price winner (President Keyes), Monday, 13 May 2024 14:23 (six months ago) link
Seems like its been consistently the #2 most streamed song on Spotify (behind something called "Million Dollar Baby")
― A So-Called Pulitzer price winner (President Keyes), Monday, 13 May 2024 14:25 (six months ago) link
These are global Spotify numbers for that week, but:
Espresso- 67.8 millionNot Like- Us 60.2 millionMillion Dollar Baby- 59.5 millionEuphoria- around 50 million

And it’s only taking into account the first four days or so? With current numbers It will probably be remain in #1 for three weeks straight.

yeah, not that it's a completely reliable metric but "not like us" has been in last.fm's top 5 trending since it dropped, usually at 1 or 2.
