    I'm not black, not American and not part of the culture.
    But even to the people who care about this stuff overseas, what you say about Drake using his blackness as a commodity and leaning on artists for clout or legitimacy is clear to see.
    Drake cares about image, success and engagement. Kendrick cares about hip hop and the communities who listen to it.
    The Heart PT.6 was for Drake's ego and his fans.
    Not Like Us was for the people.

    Still saying Kendrick took too long to drop Euphoria tells me you still don’t get it. He took that long on purpose. It was a chess move. It gave Drake confidence that Dot wouldn’t be able to keep up with Drake’s pop star machine. Drake took the bait at every turn. Kendrick was in full control of this beef from start to finish.

      anecdotal story here but i didn’t even know drake dropped push ups or any of the songs prior to this beef happening, but when kendrick dropped euphoria everything was popping of on my timeline. as a bystander I could see that kendrick dropped it at the most opportune time

    • @starcraftwars
      @starcraftwars Před 7 dny +34

      kendrick is true definition of boogeyman, not only was he in full control the whole time, he even straight up said "do not go there" multiple times shows he has class also, he does not need dirty tricks to win, he tells u exactly what will happen, it is on u to heed his warning, that's the reason I never clowned cole for apologizing, this beef was something he did not want to be apart of

      Not to mention, Kendrick has been calling Drake out for the better part of a decade, and Drake just got the confidence to respond. If anything it was us as Kendrick fans waiting for Drake to step up all this time

    I think it’s funny that nobody likes to mention Aubrey was the first one to bring up family members and allude to accusations. Kendrick told him not to do that or he will take it further. Now it’s “woah, where are the facts.” As if Aubrey ever presented any. Pathetic.

    Kendrick also said to Adonis that HE’S black (when ethnically Drake is more “black” than him) so Kendrick is trying to instill in Drake’s own mostly “white” son to remember the heritage and to respect it so he doesn’t turn out like his father. So it’s crazy to me that people trying to call out Kendrick for being “racist” or problematic towards Drake ethnicity. Kendrick just hates how Drake uses blackness for his own gain without knowing or respecting the culture.

      to clarify - the unreleased track was a sample that could not be cleared (Al Greene I believe), a shame as it is produced by Jack Antonoff, who produces for Taylor, and it deserves to see streaming.

    I have zero respect for Drake and we don’t need facts. This is about perception. Drake’s hubris and sloppy management of his brand allowed himself to be painted as a fake, colonizing pdf file. Kendrick didn’t pull all that from thin air. Drake did it to himself.

    Um sorry, no, it absolutely matters what is and is not true. If it doesn’t matter to some of the men who are responding to the discourse, that’s actually deeply concerning, because both of them are making serious accusations against each other about abusing women (and children, in Drake’s case). That’s always going to be more important, and if it’s not more important to you, that’s questionable.
