it won’t be and it has to do with dudes like Drake in twitch chats calling young dudes like Kai “a goof” for not liking his stupid ass stream lmfao. today, for this reason, there’s no space to have critical conversations on the mainstream without it for some reason leading to beef or “just don’t listen bro” especially once you throw in stan culture becoming mainstream and accepted. 90% of Drake fans think this way now, it’s wild, where before you could enter a thread and discuss the lack of quality in certain aspects of an album or big up other aspects he should focus on more

edit: like dude below me said, today, especially on social media, it matters more to “be cool” than it does to be the best. Back then, being the best was seen as being cool

Those times were really different because everyone wanted to be the best. If someone put out a list like that, you will see a reaction from Kanye, Drake, Kendrick, anyone that was mentioned.

Now everyone is just trying to act nonchalant and is too cool for trying to be the best rapper atm.

Diamonds remix verse was really underrated

5pm might just be Drakes best rap song tbh

Wow I be learning new information about the beef everyday. This why I don’t like how fans of the loser (Drake) are trying to force us to move on. S*** is corny

Life Is Good I think and he was killing big features at the time. All I can think of

You can tell the reception to GKMC and all the praise Kendrick received from it got under Drake skin a little bit lol.

I'm sure he thought it was a bit much.

it’s interesting, cause you get to see/hear how they all really are still the same person. like the nigga Drake hasn’t changed

2013 about Common:

For you to delve into my mom and my dad’s a b**** and all that, you’re just reaching for impact moments but the bars aren’t really good so it didn’t hit me. I never sat back and a***yzed that either. I only heard it once, and thought, “I think I came away with the W on that one.”

nigga definitely only heard MTG once and sighed

also I’m telling you, if niggas got this upset about an MC list, Billboard dropping an article calling Drake a mogul before NWTS even dropped definitely triggered Dot on Control a week after the article

edit: i went back and just started looking for articles around that time and what niggas was up to online and man it’s pretty deep in print and social media, niggas were chatting. niggas wasn’t really looking deep into it back then like we do today so there’s definitely a lot of s*** still missed

Lmaooo mfs used to give a f*** about these lists

What a time

LMAOOO

Drake sensitive ass really thought he won that back and forth with Common?

I’m so f***ing glad I lived through all this s*** man, fun times like these are really NEVER coming back.

How exactly are they shading his tour on that song?

Drake’s last 4 bars and first 8 bars in his verses just sound like shade to Dot’s tour to me, especially since Drake did the Wayne vs tour the next summer

Cole saying he takes on the giants and naming them specifically. there was an article in vibe magazine that dropped the same day as Jodeci Freestyle where Dot said he wanted Nas on Sing About Me, and already had Jay and Dre on the album and said Eminem inspired Backseat Freestyle. these niggas be talking to each other and used to keep tabs

If MTV got so much publicity from this list, why did they fail to publish one in 2014 or 2015, after doing it annually since 2007? No more Hottest MC lists until 2016 (and none since, the 2016 one seems to have been a one-off). I wonder if Drake threatened to stop interviewing them like he did ESPN. Or maybe Kanye did.

big sean sucks

Revisiting, you may be right

I figured out the other day that Drake & Kendrick have dropped new projects within one month of each other on four separate occasions. They really been at a Cold War for the past decade it’s crazy

5am is top 3 drake god damn

Niggas is all about the wave and s***, but that's what happens when minimum effort is rewarded with "maximum" profit

On KTT1, this would've been someone's Avi, with a matching username like "Sway1stTV" or some s*** lol

Gotta kill streaming if you want this back

Exactly! None of these niggas would give a f*** if a list like this dropped right now. We losing recipes

Now they just got r worded ass Alphonse Pierre placing Rich Gang Tha Tour in the top 5 rap albums of all time discussion for clickbait purposes on X, the everything app
