No. The downfall has been happening for years. He’s been losing fans already with low quality music for a while and the Kendrick beef accelerated the downfall.
Until the music consumption industry changes dramatically, though, Drake is still EASILY going to remain the #2 biggest entertainer in the world. Because Drake is hand-in-hand synonymous with the streaming industry. Regardless of how poor his respectability is in the rap/hip-hop community, he's not going anywhere unless the streaming industry collapses overnight and people suddenly consume music in a completely different way.

Drake is not talented or respected enough to come back from this. Not even Ja Rule had this many opps. Ja Rule had 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, DMX and Eminem against him but The Lox and Fat Joe publicly supporting him. No one who is very respected in hip hop has openly supported Drake in a way that they could inherit his beef with Kendrick. Not to mention unless Drake gets permission he will likely never be able to perform in California again
It was 20v1...Drake stood his ground against all of them on his own. He didn't have a downfall, he's more powerful now than before cuz he's talked about more than any entertainer worldwide.
That's stupid to even consider if any of those rappers really valued Tupac the ring wouldn't have been for sale. Drake ain't gotta do a damn thing. Kendrick and all of the have the money even YG could buy that ring they just mad Drake has it.
@@nootnewt9323 It's not meat riding. If Tupac's ring mattered so much why didn't any West Coast rapper buy it when it was on sale being mad that Drake has it and demanding it like it was stolen is fool's work. It would make sense if it was being gambled on but it wasn't. So now where is this meat that I'm riding if it's all facts I'm saying.
@@asavelakuse6865 do rappers usually buy other rapper's memorabilia? asking fr. isn't it usually something fans do? a fan owning the ring doesn't appear to be a problem - Drake collecting these things like the colonizer he is - to put in a a museum - that is part of what shows he's not 'of the culture'
He won't truly fall off, it's just that he will have negative credibility. Few people actually thought Drake was a good rapper, everyone knew he had ghostwriters. He's just the face & voice for a pop-rap collective pretending to be one person, and the people who listen to that shit don't know/care much if anything outside of how his shit sounds.
Outside that horrible fucking track everyone thought was AI, BLL Drizzy is laying low, people with big egos don't take humiliation lightly, we'll have to wait and see how much that got to him.
@OlgaZuccati yeah but even shit like him rapping to bbl drizzy / wag wan Delilah is him "trolling" / being a cringe "meme lord" most people will forget that shit in a week
@@Elliott_Elliott he didn't write most of either, so he deffo ain't good either. You gotta go way back in his discography or call half of the heart pt6 good if you wanna say he writes well
Difference between jay and has and Kendrick despises drake genuinely he wouldn’t make up for the good of the culture because he sees drake as a parasite to it
part of why he did it 6x is he was getting footage for his Not Like Us music video. i'm hoping he uses the clip of dre saying "i see dead people" at the start of the MV haha.
The song is divisive... People are not vibing to it the way its presented, but people see Kendrick as the new messiah, so they will say anything to make him win. Even his producer DJ Mustard was caught red-handed playing Drake's hits in a club. The logic many do not understand is if Kendrick calls Drake white, a culture vulture, and a colonizer, then brings some people on stage who we know are no longer active gang members as they moved on with their lives, to supposedly united the West...why bring on woman abuser and p3do, Dr. Dre, to start the song calling Drake a p3do in front of a predominantly white audience and endorse them saying the N word 6x....he's supposed to be a pro black activist. If Drake with a black father is white, is Kendrick's woman white? Are his kids white? And why hasn't he marry his woman and given her his last name? Is she not black enough? If he's such a moral family man, why promote having kids out of wedlock?
The issue is, even is Drake recovers, he’s on the clock. He will never gain Gen A as a fanbase. They’ll grow up and only know Drake for this controversy. Some existing fans may look past it, but he’ll have to mature with his fans now because they’ll age out of his music soon enough.
This is valid. I think people over 25 may still be ok with Drake because even if they give him an L, they might have grown up listening to some of Drakes music...but the 14 to 21 year Olds will see him as a clown. I think his only real move is to try to align himself with people with respect in the culture again...he still has some friends in Atlanta and NY
Ima say most people over 25 have either outgrown Drake or will not accept him after hearing the predator allegations, whether they're aware of the rest of the beef or not 🤔 That's not somethin nostalgia can smooth over, I def agree w/u about his only chance though
@@goodfella1401 just say you weren't keeping up with the beef...50 was clearly navigating for Drake. He didn't have any skin in this game, he never does. He's a troll, and maybe he did tell Drake, perhaps he didn't listen.... But either way, 50 was siding with Drake
I’ll say this going forward Drake doesn’t need to get involved in anymore beefs because he’s not gonna be able to live this one down anytime soon if ever. And “Not Like Us” was definitely Kendrick’s kill shot I loved Euphoria but when he dropped Not Like Us Drake couldn’t even say nothing else. And the Heart part 6 was straight up garbage 🗑️ 😂
Common did NOT throw shade at "Gangsta" rap. They didn't understand the song or the metaphor. They confused the second verse and the third verse. If anyone should take it as a diss is Onyx and Das Efx... peep the last part of the third verse....
These past few years Drake desperately rebranded to capture the younger under 22 group. He focused on going viral on tiktok than making music with substance. Now those same kids he was trying to gain as fans all look at him as a corny washed rapper. He's never coming back
I think ppl are underestimating what Dot just did to Drake. This is only comparable to 50 vs Ja, the other comparisons in the video did not have an L at the scale of this one. I was there for all these beefs, I have never seen no shit like what Dot just did to Drake, a song calling someone a pdf? This is uncharted territory in beefs imo.
HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JA/50 and this beef. For starters Ja was only a hand full of years into his career by the time 50 came out he was not some big, larger than life artist especially not on Drake’s scale. Remember Drake is damn near 40 with 8 albums and a plethora of other bodies of work under his name. The run was the run. Ja wasn’t even 30 yet when 50 took him out. This would’ve been more career ending in say 2013-14 compared to now. Also, something else that keeps getting lost is that Ja was technically declining in sales BEFORE the 50 beef. He was not at his Apex, his run was coming to an end whether he liked it or not. 50 just sped up the process
@@TheKidwonda yes there is nothing to compare to this, I just said it’s the closest thing we have to compare among all the listed beefs. Also Drake sales are on the decline already, Scorpion did 7 mil, He hasn’t hit half of that since then. Also the fashion in which he was dissed was far more embarrassing than anything 50 said imo. We will never have any beef to compare to Drake if we go off his success bc he has had the biggest commercial run we have ever seen. My point is that the other beefs mentioned the other artist was not flat out embarrassed. Drake for the rest of his career if he disses anybody, will have to expect potential pdf claims. I don’t think ppl are really processing how detrimental this will be long term
@@chimezie7 I hear you I think what keeps confusing me is people keep saying long term like the man is some young gun. He about to turn 38. He is wayyy older than anybody that was mentioned above when those beefs popped off. I think his contract with UMG is about to come to an end(part of why he’s released so many damn albums as of late). Rumors were that he was set to go on hiatus after this past tour.Like I keep emphasizing the run was the run. If you’re a Drake fan this beef not eliminating him from the rotation and if you were not a fan than more than likely you weren’t listening to Drake before so again nothing changes. I think people are projecting what they want to happen instead of giving realistic expectations.
@@TheKidwonda I can agree with his run being unprecedented but one thing I think ppl put too much value on is raw numbers. I think that although his commercial run is crazy, the kind of fans he has cultivated thru his career are mostly casual music listeners. I think his true core audience is smaller than ppl think, artists who make very mainstream music tend to have mostly casual listeners as fans which is why when something like this happens, since they aren’t as invested in the artist, it’s easier for them to just drop them when it’s not “cool” to like them. Which is what happened to Ja. That’s why I compare the 2 not bc of their respective runs but bc the circumstances are similar. The other examples used in the video were not as mainstream as Drake musically so they have far less casual fans than someone like Drake. Which is why the loss in the beefs didn’t affect them as much. Plus, the content of the disses thrown at them was fairly tame compared to what we got in this beef. That’s why I’m saying ppl are greatly underestimating what happened here. I’m not saying Drake will not sell records, bc even Ja still went platinum after the 50 beef. But he will never be the same imo.
Every beef outside of 50 vs Ja are totally different… all them artists were authentic and for the culture not trying to steal it. Any rap song Drake drops there will be a lot of ppl looking at it sideways
@@amenx absolutely… I’m not speaking on authenticity for that battle I’m speaking on the outcome and backlash after the battles… Ja was definitely authentic plus 50 n ja’s beef was really some street shit that just so happened to play out over music and Drake was done worse than Ja
The thing about cube is no one called him corny the way people called Drake corny throughout his entire career. And honestly he could've owned it and been a backpacker like Kanye. But no, he wanted to be HIP HOP's KING. Which is stupid af for him.
I doubt Drake and Kendrick mend things. Kendrick legit hates Drake. I mean…..he said Drake should die. In any case, Drake should stick to pop songs for women. Battle rap and pretending to be a gangster definitely isn’t his thing.
He'll be fine as far as his overall career is concerned. The part of his career that will be affected specifically...............is with regard to his stature among the rap/hip-hop community itself. I wouldn't be surprised if some individual rap/hip-hop stations increasingly go rogue going forward and refuse to play or at the very least put in heavier rotation future singles of his and he has a hard time getting any more #1s on the rap/hip-hop charts that's not a feature. That said, he's going to continue to have hits in the broader scheme of things outside of rap and hip-hop radio. Because, after all, he's ALWAYS been a pop entertainer first and foremost masquerading as a rapper. He'll continue to collect some Billboard Hot 100 #1s and ultimately pass Michael Jackson for the all-time #1 tally on that chart because the streaming industry is sooooooooooo centered around entertainers like him, because of frontloaded first-week sales and streaming numbers barely any other established entertainer can replicate. Pretty much all of them will be frontloaded and lack any lasting cultural impact past their second charting week, but the point is because the streaming industry is sooooooooo synonymous with Drake, he's insulated to the point where his career is stabilized no matter how bad his respectability is in rap/hip-hop.
I don't know if he can recover from this. The battle seems to have uncovered (for the whole public at least) that Drakes is most likely a terrible person with terrible habits for what a lot of people in the game have suggested, not just Kendrick. This beef just popped the bubble. When basically the whole hip hop industry hates you it is for a reason. Now everyone is looking at Drake with pity if they are not already just laughing at him. Not something good when your career is slowly going down for some years already.
What Drake should do is disappear for 2 years don’t post on social media at all, move to china, become a monk, learn the ways of the samurai & come back as sensei Drake & challenge kung fu Kenny for the lyrical slap title belt
don’t think there’s any olive branch he can offer, Kendrick called him something there’s no coming back from + I just don’t think Drake is talented enough anymore to just drop good music for everyone to forget about this … he’s in a tough spot
Here’s what Drake needs to do. He needs to do a classic collaboration album with lil Wayne before the end of the year and perform it in the 2025 superbowl. Lil Wayne is the only one who can take Kendrick on lyrically, and it can be a father son collaboration that will repair drakes image to the culture.
After being reminded of Drake's disrespect by having sex with lil Wayne girl when he was in jail, I don't see anybody speaking up for Drake besides Ak, and he is compromised. Fact is Drake did this to himself so as a male almost 40 years old he needs to fix this problem for himself. Relying on the ovo sweatshop writers and paying 'homage ' to even 1990s Erica Badu tracks in the end was his doing. Pride comes before the fall and he has been doing people dirty for too long. Times up, face what you did like a man, finally. And stop using Adonis for photo ops
A lot of times History repeats itself but this isn't that time😂Drake got exposed more being a Colonizer and P*do and the proof is easily to find and also it's the biggest Rap Song in Amerikkka rn with #NotLikeUs Kendrick made it that way because he strategize and took notes for years before this battle Finally happened... All of the proof of what Kendrick said on ##Euphoria #MeetTheGrahams #616InLA are there to see about with Drake... When you can break someone down to science with all of their flaws and even exposed the lies of which they told,it makes honest people who have common sense take time to see what that person really is😂 Kendrick made it to where Drake can't go back to his music of features with Atlanta rappers without being in question of,is he still being a Colonizer of our Culture?,why he keep acting tough?,We thought he would go back to "Toosie Slide" and "Hotline Bling" type of songs😂 This won't be a career ender for Drake,just embarrassing for him and it will justify everything that Kendrick has spoken about
@@melo5303 that was fake he didn’t help anyone’s career. His motive was to steal their style he didn’t do this out the kindness of his heart. Drake is a leach and it’s nothing original about him. We don’t know the real him because he’s busy cosplaying whatever is hot for the moment. He literally is an actor and playing a rapper is his role. That’s it!!!🤷🏾♂️
Common never threw shade at Cube or the West. “I wasn’t salty she was with the boys in the hood” saying it made hip hop better as well. Cube took offense and Common gave him a little spankin lol.
At this point, Drake is engineering his own downfall better than even Kendrick could have done. His arrogance has blinded him to the point where he thinks his recent antics and releases aren't affecting his brand even more.
Drake should just go into hiding and reinvent himself and drop a banger album with a fire narrative behind it to actually potentially have people behind him would do good at least
If I’m Aubrey’s team..im making him set up a sit down to congratulate Kendrick and hand over that ring of Tupacs. That would have people give him a lil respect. Then i would have him go act in a few movies and make no music for a while. Only features
*He has to release two "successful" albums a year according to his contract and he hasn't made one yet this year. IDK he's labeled a PDF, groomer, and according to the getting this is an uphill battle for him*
It's quite simple, When you're Black and you're on top in the music industry them same Black people who was begging you to do a feature are them same Black people who's gonna try to bring you down... The only race of people on the planet that acts this way💯
i know everyone wanna see him lose but unfortunately he never had a high percentage of the hood as a fan base to have to worry about what the culture thinks he had outside of the hood on lock and that side he gonna always have & still has…only ppl in the hood concerned about the culture and he never had the hood from the jump so you can’t stop someone who dominated and never needed the culture he gonna go back to his actual fan base music (but Kendrick got the culture back that’s it that’s all no L’s taken)
Rap battles have EVOLVED since the 'beef' between ja rule and 50 cent. Even though both events has the element of hatred, or jealousy, or competition trying to discredit or discourage the opponent by bullying, threatening and/or insulting. Hip-hop fans is more sensible, and have better understanding of good and bad conduct. Kendrick isn't a petty person outside of rap league, it shows in his work and conduct. He genuinely wishes the best for his culture and would wish the same for drake too if he wasn't a cancer exploiting his community and the future younglings. Kendrick still has love for his peers and would rather focus on other aspects of his life than go out of his way to kick a man when he is down i.e. what 50 did, perhaps trying to relive his glory days at the cost of hurting others. 50 talks a lot about other people's personal matters, seemingly to distract from his own, it's clever but schemy! Thank goodness kendrick came to the scene. He is fighting for morality, love and the future of his community and culture unlike 50 battling for god knows what, doing petty and unmanly stunts like he did ja rule.
Because calling him a certified pdfile definitely shows he wishes him the best. Wanting someone to have a good life by calling them a seggs offender. Try again.
I hope he doesn't avoid it. I've hated this dude's music for so long. I'm so tired of hearing his grating autotuned mess playing in stores. Now the knowledge that he's a horrible person IRL just rubs salt on his horrible discography.
There is no squashing it. Drake is an imposter. He has to squash that part within himself. Kendrick could never have taken away something that was within Drake. He exposed what was missing.
Drake didn't think that K-Dot doesn't make notes from all of the shenanigans he does on social media and his battle with Pusha-T. Niccolo Machiavelli said it best: Those who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat itself.
I don't think Drake and Kendrick will ever settle thanks to how Drake acts. In the past, he tried to settle things but Kendrick wasn't feeling it and Kendrick got to see the type of person Drake is. I also don't think Drake will ever extend an olive branch to Kendrick at least a genuine one. Kendrick did a lot of damage to Drake and he's petty so he'll never be genuine whenever he apologizes
Drake is too proud man. Don't think he'll ever reach out to Kendrick to settle the beef in a friendly manner. Not to mention, he keeps on throwing shade on IG 😂😂😂
I think people are forgetting that he's been outed (and outed himself) as a pdf I don't think anyone is going to associate him with that both musically and commercially but let's see there's worse creeps in the hiphop/rap industry
Drake is to consistent while these other rappers js fade away Drake will be alright hes been holding our genre up on the Charts for 2 decades its js popular hate on him now , but his catalog speak for it self
I dont listen to Drake but I personally think HE’LL BE FINE. 🤷🏾♀️ When you have pass for ghostwriting allegations, creepy attitude, blackface, a child exposed etc.. HE WILL BE FINE. 😬 people don’t care so. Even about the quality of his albums AGAIN people don’t care, because as much as people says it’s mid or what he still do number one so🤷🏾♀️.
People are still curious about what Drake's gonna do next, so I think what he does with the rest of this year is CRUCIAL for him. He's for sure never been this down bad before
and they haven't been cool for a decade so I dont know how they could be again drake tried but making a feature request for first person shooter and k dot said nah
Drake has got to do something other than these recent lame pop features like Hot Uptown with Camila Cabello which is mid at best. He lacks the cultural currency to compete with KDOT and has made some huge missteps which could’ve been avoided if he was actually of the culture and not a brand ambassador for corporate SKUs.
Just found your channel and wanted to say great video, plus everything you said at the end is exactly what Drake currently need to do to evolve as an artist. But now to answer your question is that Drake will not experience a downfall, but his reputation on the other hand is ruined and anyone that he dates or interact with the general public will have questions for him and if people care about the pdf allegations then he will fall slowly; if not we have a r.kelly 2.0 and the only people to take him down will be the next generation since they won't have such a strong attachment to him.

It would make sense if it was being gambled on but it wasn't. So now where is this meat that I'm riding if it's all facts I'm saying.
@@asavelakuse6865 do rappers usually buy other rapper's memorabilia? asking fr. isn't it usually something fans do? a fan owning the ring doesn't appear to be a problem - Drake collecting these things like the colonizer he is - to put in a a museum - that is part of what shows he's not 'of the culture'
Drake trying to battle Kendrick is like Urkele trying to fight Mike Tyson 😂
He won't truly fall off, it's just that he will have negative credibility.
Few people actually thought Drake was a good rapper, everyone knew he had ghostwriters. He's just the face & voice for a pop-rap collective pretending to be one person, and the people who listen to that shit don't know/care much if anything outside of how his shit sounds.
Outside that horrible fucking track everyone thought was AI, BLL Drizzy is laying low, people with big egos don't take humiliation lightly, we'll have to wait and see how much that got to him.
@OlgaZuccati yeah but even shit like him rapping to bbl drizzy / wag wan Delilah is him "trolling" / being a cringe "meme lord" most people will forget that shit in a week
@@xZyvon Because his music is oversaturated with shit
True, but you can't listen to Push Ups an Family Matters and claim he's a bad rapper
@@Elliott_Elliott he didn't write most of either, so he deffo ain't good either. You gotta go way back in his discography or call half of the heart pt6 good if you wanna say he writes well
Difference between jay and has and Kendrick despises drake genuinely he wouldn’t make up for the good of the culture because he sees drake as a parasite to it
part of why he did it 6x is he was getting footage for his Not Like Us music video. i'm hoping he uses the clip of dre saying "i see dead people" at the start of the MV haha.
The song is divisive... People are not vibing to it the way its presented, but people see Kendrick as the new messiah, so they will say anything to make him win. Even his producer DJ Mustard was caught red-handed playing Drake's hits in a club. The logic many do not understand is if Kendrick calls Drake white, a culture vulture, and a colonizer, then brings some people on stage who we know are no longer active gang members as they moved on with their lives, to supposedly united the West...why bring on woman abuser and p3do, Dr. Dre, to start the song calling Drake a p3do in front of a predominantly white audience and endorse them saying the N word 6x....he's supposed to be a pro black activist. If Drake with a black father is white, is Kendrick's woman white? Are his kids white? And why hasn't he marry his woman and given her his last name? Is she not black enough? If he's such a moral family man, why promote having kids out of wedlock?
Dre groomed a 16 year old miche’le when he was 22 years old, had a kid with her years later then started beating on her. Don’t believe me look it up.
When you don’t write your own material you can drop drop drop like Aubrey
The issue is, even is Drake recovers, he’s on the clock. He will never gain Gen A as a fanbase. They’ll grow up and only know Drake for this controversy. Some existing fans may look past it, but he’ll have to mature with his fans now because they’ll age out of his music soon enough.
This is valid. I think people over 25 may still be ok with Drake because even if they give him an L, they might have grown up listening to some of Drakes music...but the 14 to 21 year Olds will see him as a clown. I think his only real move is to try to align himself with people with respect in the culture again...he still has some friends in Atlanta and NY
Ima say most people over 25 have either outgrown Drake or will not accept him after hearing the predator allegations, whether they're aware of the rest of the beef or not 🤔 That's not somethin nostalgia can smooth over, I def agree w/u about his only chance though
You'd think Curtis would have explained this to Aubrey... Seeing as he backed him
50?
No he didn't. Curtis is on Team Dr. Dre and Kendrick is part of that same team
@@goodfella1401 just say you weren't keeping up with the beef...50 was clearly navigating for Drake. He didn't have any skin in this game, he never does. He's a troll, and maybe he did tell Drake, perhaps he didn't listen.... But either way, 50 was siding with Drake
@@queenofbuttercream 50 was kinda siding with Drake because Rick Ross was siding with Kendrick..... Rick Ross is 50's enemy....
@@chriskringle5191 I can agree with that sentiment to a point, but even 50 had to know this was bigger than Ross.
I’ll say this going forward Drake doesn’t need to get involved in anymore beefs because he’s not gonna be able to live this one down anytime soon if ever. And “Not Like Us” was definitely Kendrick’s kill shot I loved Euphoria but when he dropped Not Like Us Drake couldn’t even say nothing else. And the Heart part 6 was straight up garbage 🗑️ 😂
He’s not gonna do any of those thing cuz at the end of the day he’s sensitive and his ego won’t let him
Nas dropped Ether on Jay-Z’s birthday?! I didn’t know that!!
50 Career was built off the ja rule beef. Kendrick could care less about this beef
Cap..
Kendrick definitely cares about this beef lol
@@Coolrunnings007dude made a 4 diss tracks he definitely cared about it.
50 career was built off backing of Em, Jimmy & Dre with back to back hits. He was a global success, which cannot be said about most other rappers
Common did NOT throw shade at "Gangsta" rap. They didn't understand the song or the metaphor. They confused the second verse and the third verse. If anyone should take it as a diss is Onyx and Das Efx... peep the last part of the third verse....
Nah Kendrick put him in a nìcca moment a long cruel one
These past few years Drake desperately rebranded to capture the younger under 22 group. He focused on going viral on tiktok than making music with substance. Now those same kids he was trying to gain as fans all look at him as a corny washed rapper. He's never coming back
I think ppl are underestimating what Dot just did to Drake. This is only comparable to 50 vs Ja, the other comparisons in the video did not have an L at the scale of this one. I was there for all these beefs, I have never seen no shit like what Dot just did to Drake, a song calling someone a pdf? This is uncharted territory in beefs imo.
HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JA/50 and this beef. For starters Ja was only a hand full of years into his career by the time 50 came out he was not some big, larger than life artist especially not on Drake’s scale. Remember Drake is damn near 40 with 8 albums and a plethora of other bodies of work under his name. The run was the run. Ja wasn’t even 30 yet when 50 took him out. This would’ve been more career ending in say 2013-14 compared to now. Also, something else that keeps getting lost is that Ja was technically declining in sales BEFORE the 50 beef. He was not at his Apex, his run was coming to an end whether he liked it or not. 50 just sped up the process
@@TheKidwonda yes there is nothing to compare to this, I just said it’s the closest thing we have to compare among all the listed beefs. Also Drake sales are on the decline already, Scorpion did 7 mil, He hasn’t hit half of that since then. Also the fashion in which he was dissed was far more embarrassing than anything 50 said imo. We will never have any beef to compare to Drake if we go off his success bc he has had the biggest commercial run we have ever seen. My point is that the other beefs mentioned the other artist was not flat out embarrassed. Drake for the rest of his career if he disses anybody, will have to expect potential pdf claims. I don’t think ppl are really processing how detrimental this will be long term
@@chimezie7 I hear you I think what keeps confusing me is people keep saying long term like the man is some young gun. He about to turn 38. He is wayyy older than anybody that was mentioned above when those beefs popped off. I think his contract with UMG is about to come to an end(part of why he’s released so many damn albums as of late). Rumors were that he was set to go on hiatus after this past tour.Like I keep emphasizing the run was the run. If you’re a Drake fan this beef not eliminating him from the rotation and if you were not a fan than more than likely you weren’t listening to Drake before so again nothing changes. I think people are projecting what they want to happen instead of giving realistic expectations.
@@TheKidwonda I can agree with his run being unprecedented but one thing I think ppl put too much value on is raw numbers. I think that although his commercial run is crazy, the kind of fans he has cultivated thru his career are mostly casual music listeners. I think his true core audience is smaller than ppl think, artists who make very mainstream music tend to have mostly casual listeners as fans which is why when something like this happens, since they aren’t as invested in the artist, it’s easier for them to just drop them when it’s not “cool” to like them. Which is what happened to Ja. That’s why I compare the 2 not bc of their respective runs but bc the circumstances are similar. The other examples used in the video were not as mainstream as Drake musically so they have far less casual fans than someone like Drake. Which is why the loss in the beefs didn’t affect them as much. Plus, the content of the disses thrown at them was fairly tame compared to what we got in this beef. That’s why I’m saying ppl are greatly underestimating what happened here. I’m not saying Drake will not sell records, bc even Ja still went platinum after the 50 beef. But he will never be the same imo.
Every beef outside of 50 vs Ja are totally different… all them artists were authentic and for the culture not trying to steal it. Any rap song Drake drops there will be a lot of ppl looking at it sideways
Ja was authentic too
@@amenx absolutely… I’m not speaking on authenticity for that battle I’m speaking on the outcome and backlash after the battles… Ja was definitely authentic plus 50 n ja’s beef was really some street shit that just so happened to play out over music and Drake was done worse than Ja
How is anyone in this beef trying to “steal the culture”?
The thing about cube is no one called him corny the way people called Drake corny throughout his entire career. And honestly he could've owned it and been a backpacker like Kanye. But no, he wanted to be HIP HOP's KING. Which is stupid af for him.
Cube went to the silver screen
Everybody needs to go back and listen to what common said about Drake: Mr Canada Dry 😂
I doubt Drake and Kendrick mend things. Kendrick legit hates Drake.
I mean…..he said Drake should die.
In any case, Drake should stick to pop songs for women.
Battle rap and pretending to be a gangster definitely isn’t his thing.
Drake got kids scared. 😂😂😂 he done
for women? lol
@@BeautifulEarthJa🤣🤣 right ...Drake like lil girls not grown women 🤣🤣
He'll be fine as far as his overall career is concerned.
The part of his career that will be affected specifically...............is with regard to his stature among the rap/hip-hop community itself. I wouldn't be surprised if some individual rap/hip-hop stations increasingly go rogue going forward and refuse to play or at the very least put in heavier rotation future singles of his and he has a hard time getting any more #1s on the rap/hip-hop charts that's not a feature.
That said, he's going to continue to have hits in the broader scheme of things outside of rap and hip-hop radio. Because, after all, he's ALWAYS been a pop entertainer first and foremost masquerading as a rapper. He'll continue to collect some Billboard Hot 100 #1s and ultimately pass Michael Jackson for the all-time #1 tally on that chart because the streaming industry is sooooooooooo centered around entertainers like him, because of frontloaded first-week sales and streaming numbers barely any other established entertainer can replicate. Pretty much all of them will be frontloaded and lack any lasting cultural impact past their second charting week, but the point is because the streaming industry is sooooooooo synonymous with Drake, he's insulated to the point where his career is stabilized no matter how bad his respectability is in rap/hip-hop.
He should go back to acting.
@@syolyte he has been acting as a MC for roughly 15 years I think that’s a good pivot.
I won't be surprised if Drake just MGKs... switch genre like a pussy. That would be really hilarious.
They cant refuse hes pushed by universal
Response to Title: No.
Nope & making a song with Camila Caracist ain’t gonna help…
CA-racist LOL
1:26 such a vibe 😂🔥
I don't know if he can recover from this. The battle seems to have uncovered (for the whole public at least) that Drakes is most likely a terrible person with terrible habits for what a lot of people in the game have suggested, not just Kendrick. This beef just popped the bubble.
When basically the whole hip hop industry hates you it is for a reason. Now everyone is looking at Drake with pity if they are not already just laughing at him. Not something good when your career is slowly going down for some years already.
What Drake should do is disappear for 2 years don’t post on social media at all, move to china, become a monk, learn the ways of the samurai & come back as sensei Drake & challenge kung fu Kenny for the lyrical slap title belt
don’t think there’s any olive branch he can offer, Kendrick called him something there’s no coming back from + I just don’t think Drake is talented enough anymore to just drop good music for everyone to forget about this … he’s in a tough spot
Here’s what Drake needs to do. He needs to do a classic collaboration album with lil Wayne before the end of the year and perform it in the 2025 superbowl. Lil Wayne is the only one who can take Kendrick on lyrically, and it can be a father son collaboration that will repair drakes image to the culture.
I had this exact idea running through my head recently.its actually scary that u said the exact thoughts in my head lol
After being reminded of Drake's disrespect by having sex with lil Wayne girl when he was in jail, I don't see anybody speaking up for Drake besides Ak, and he is compromised. Fact is Drake did this to himself so as a male almost 40 years old he needs to fix this problem for himself. Relying on the ovo sweatshop writers and paying 'homage ' to even 1990s Erica Badu tracks in the end was his doing. Pride comes before the fall and he has been doing people dirty for too long. Times up, face what you did like a man, finally. And stop using Adonis for photo ops
A lot of times History repeats itself but this isn't that time😂Drake got exposed more being a Colonizer and P*do and the proof is easily to find and also it's the biggest Rap Song in Amerikkka rn with #NotLikeUs Kendrick made it that way because he strategize and took notes for years before this battle Finally happened... All of the proof of what Kendrick said on ##Euphoria #MeetTheGrahams #616InLA are there to see about with Drake... When you can break someone down to science with all of their flaws and even exposed the lies of which they told,it makes honest people who have common sense take time to see what that person really is😂 Kendrick made it to where Drake can't go back to his music of features with Atlanta rappers without being in question of,is he still being a Colonizer of our Culture?,why he keep acting tough?,We thought he would go back to "Toosie Slide" and "Hotline Bling" type of songs😂 This won't be a career ender for Drake,just embarrassing for him and it will justify everything that Kendrick has spoken about
Humble drake coming next? 😅 Amazing video 🔥
No shot! Drake showing humility? That requires maturity and self awareness, no WAY, not BBL Drizzy.
He should have just followed the advice Wayne gave him from the beginning. “ keep it Canadian “
drake showed humility when he helped all their careers
@@melo5303 that was fake he didn’t help anyone’s career. His motive was to steal their style he didn’t do this out the kindness of his heart. Drake is a leach and it’s nothing original about him. We don’t know the real him because he’s busy cosplaying whatever is hot for the moment. He literally is an actor and playing a rapper is his role. That’s it!!!🤷🏾♂️
Real ones know Drake always was a joke.
Short answer:No
Long answer: Hell no
Well constructed and formulated video essay bro. You threaded some excellent examples in here... Subbed
Common never threw shade at Cube or the West. “I wasn’t salty she was with the boys in the hood” saying it made hip hop better as well. Cube took offense and Common gave him a little spankin lol.
And Cube didn't respond because Louis Farrahkhan NOI got involved.
At this point, Drake is engineering his own downfall better than even Kendrick could have done. His arrogance has blinded him to the point where he thinks his recent antics and releases aren't affecting his brand even more.
Amazing history dive thanks for the vid
Great video. I liked how you broke it down with precedent
Great channel
Really good video 👍🏾
drake has a minor problem
Amazing video
Hip Hop history? But the Disney Princess is nuthin but a Pop act. And nobody from the Culture wants him to avoid anythin. Crash & burn 🤡
Drake should just go into hiding and reinvent himself and drop a banger album with a fire narrative behind it to actually potentially have people behind him would do good at least
Oh brother here yall go with these videos
I think Drake will recover. There's no way he's done. It's Drake we're talking about.🤷♂️
Great vid new sub 💯
Well Done!!!
He can start by giving 2Pac’s ring to the proper custodian.
If I’m Aubrey’s team..im making him set up a sit down to congratulate Kendrick and hand over that ring of Tupacs. That would have people give him a lil respect. Then i would have him go act in a few movies and make no music for a while. Only features
UMG will not allow that. They've invested way too much money in Aubrey for him to not make more music
*He has to release two "successful" albums a year according to his contract and he hasn't made one yet this year. IDK he's labeled a PDF, groomer, and according to the getting this is an uphill battle for him*
Dude WHAT lol. Have him sit down and hand back a ring!?! That’ll look insane, all he has to do is drop a banger and album.
@@Jboooog18drake doesn’t have a single that will get people back on his side drake has to take a break for awhile
@@dwaynejpeterkin I think we underestimate how fickle the average consumer is. Folks just want to hear Drake, they really don’t care.
It's quite simple, When you're Black and you're on top in the music industry them same Black people who was begging you to do a feature are them same Black people who's gonna try to bring you down... The only race of people on the planet that acts this way💯
Excellent idea
i know everyone wanna see him lose but unfortunately he never had a high percentage of the hood as a fan base to have to worry about what the culture thinks he had outside of the hood on lock and that side he gonna always have & still has…only ppl in the hood concerned about the culture and he never had the hood from the jump so you can’t stop someone who dominated and never needed the culture he gonna go back to his actual fan base music (but Kendrick got the culture back that’s it that’s all no L’s taken)
This was a good video. Ether to me, was the best diss song ever other than No Vaseline by Cube and Euphoria by K Dot.
50 and Ja's beef didn't start over 50 getting stabbed 😂
Excellent comparison and commentary. Great! Keep going strong, Bro.
Appreciate it! 💯🔥
Rap battles have EVOLVED since the 'beef' between ja rule and 50 cent. Even though both events has the element of hatred, or jealousy, or competition trying to discredit or discourage the opponent by bullying, threatening and/or insulting. Hip-hop fans is more sensible, and have better understanding of good and bad conduct.
Kendrick isn't a petty person outside of rap league, it shows in his work and conduct. He genuinely wishes the best for his culture and would wish the same for drake too if he wasn't a cancer exploiting his community and the future younglings. Kendrick still has love for his peers and would rather focus on other aspects of his life than go out of his way to kick a man when he is down i.e. what 50 did, perhaps trying to relive his glory days at the cost of hurting others.
50 talks a lot about other people's personal matters, seemingly to distract from his own, it's clever but schemy!
Thank goodness kendrick came to the scene. He is fighting for morality, love and the future of his community and culture unlike 50 battling for god knows what, doing petty and unmanly stunts like he did ja rule.
Because calling him a certified pdfile definitely shows he wishes him the best. Wanting someone to have a good life by calling them a seggs offender. Try again.
@@kkrezagang4606 No, Airhead.
Good content.
Drake needs to take a long break and come back with an album that will be different as before the beef he has more misses than heat
I hope he doesn't avoid it. I've hated this dude's music for so long. I'm so tired of hearing his grating autotuned mess playing in stores. Now the knowledge that he's a horrible person IRL just rubs salt on his horrible discography.
There is no squashing it. Drake is an imposter. He has to squash that part within himself. Kendrick could never have taken away something that was within Drake. He exposed what was missing.
NEW SUB 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 DOPE VIDEO
Unpopular opinion: Jay didn't go too far and he actually dropped a better diss
Drake didn't think that K-Dot doesn't make notes from all of the shenanigans he does on social media and his battle with Pusha-T.
Niccolo Machiavelli said it best: Those who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat itself.
We won't know his true downfall until the radio stops playing his music and people stop streaming his music
I think drake trying to reach out to kendrick would be an awful look for him.
I don't think Drake and Kendrick will ever settle thanks to how Drake acts. In the past, he tried to settle things but Kendrick wasn't feeling it and Kendrick got to see the type of person Drake is. I also don't think Drake will ever extend an olive branch to Kendrick at least a genuine one. Kendrick did a lot of damage to Drake and he's petty so he'll never be genuine whenever he apologizes
Maybe he should do "Drakademiks" on Complex and do low-budget Rap commentaries with his collaborator
Drake is too proud man. Don't think he'll ever reach out to Kendrick to settle the beef in a friendly manner. Not to mention, he keeps on throwing shade on IG 😂😂😂
I think people are forgetting that he's been outed (and outed himself) as a pdf I don't think anyone is going to associate him with that both musically and commercially but let's see there's worse creeps in the hiphop/rap industry
There is no way that Kendrick would accept a twig let alone an olive branch from Drake
Drake is to consistent while these other rappers js fade away Drake will be alright hes been holding our genre up on the Charts for 2 decades its js popular hate on him now , but his catalog speak for it self
He's over stayed his welcome. All rappers have their following and dip.. but he milked it.
I dont listen to Drake but I personally think HE’LL BE FINE. 🤷🏾♀️
When you have pass for ghostwriting allegations, creepy attitude, blackface, a child exposed etc.. HE WILL BE FINE. 😬 people don’t care so. Even about the quality of his albums AGAIN people don’t care, because as much as people says it’s mid or what he still do number one so🤷🏾♀️.
People are still curious about what Drake's gonna do next, so I think what he does with the rest of this year is CRUCIAL for him. He's for sure never been this down bad before
Kendrick and Drake can never be cool against
and they haven't been cool for a decade so I dont know how they could be again
drake tried but making a feature request for first person shooter and k dot said nah
10:51 No.... I guarantee you... Kendrick will not take that olive branch, at least not for at least a couple decades.
The subtitles remind me of a website I once knew (I live in Texas).
He's cooked. If I was him I would switch genres or go back to acting.
Kendrick ain't accepting that olive branch lmao
Drake has got to do something other than these recent lame pop features like Hot Uptown with Camila Cabello which is mid at best. He lacks the cultural currency to compete with KDOT and has made some huge missteps which could’ve been avoided if he was actually of the culture and not a brand ambassador for corporate SKUs.
Statiscally, with 13 #1’s, tying THE Michael Jackson, Drake won a long time ago. If clout is so real why can’t you touch it? 😂😂
Just found your channel and wanted to say great video, plus everything you said at the end is exactly what Drake currently need to do to evolve as an artist. But now to answer your question is that Drake will not experience a downfall, but his reputation on the other hand is ruined and anyone that he dates or interact with the general public will have questions for him and if people care about the pdf allegations then he will fall slowly; if not we have a r.kelly 2.0 and the only people to take him down will be the next generation since they won't have such a strong attachment to him.
Drake should think twice shen poking a bear countless times and that’s a result he’s gonna get.
First step would be to give back 2Pac’s ring, then go reinvent himself.
