Kendrick's camp called it quits before Drake did. I think he drops new music in time for the summer. Maybe by June or July.

Would’ve preferred he not said anything and just dropped more music at will. Beef defnitely played out tho. I think Drake biggest mistake was the order he dropped his disses. Had he started with a Charged up and Duppy Freestyles and then ended with FM, the bars would’ve been there for him to stand on and then hits and visuals would’ve had more room to breathe

I'm a fan of both but how?

drake clearly was done with this beef with Heart Part 6 he sounds defeated on that record, if you can't hear that idk what to tell you. It was so weak that Kendrick let that s*** marinate, since NLU clearly overshadowed it. Heart part 6 is just sloppy writing

Top Dawg and Punch waved the white flag right after The Heart Part 6 dropped — the same song that has Drake denying Kendrick's allegations, doubling down on the allegations of Kendrick being a domestic abuser and has Drake asking Kendrick to get back to him when he's ready to get to the facts because everything he's saying about Kendrick is facts.

There was just no way to know dot was sitting on 10 records, would drop 20 minutes after you, and have a smash hit w/mustard

I’m honestly not sure what drake could have done to win

Lmfao

The whole world is saying Kendrick won and you’re still in denial😭😭😭

Both of them had some cringe lines and made things part of this beef I wish they didn't, but Kendrick had more wordplay and lines you had to think about to grasp

"Just let me know when we're getting to the facts. All my s*** is facts. I'm waiting on you to return the favor."

Those were Drake's last words on The Heart Part 6.

This was Kendrick's camp's response to that:

Lmao it’s crazy.

I genuinely feel like there are more people who hate Drake, than there are Kendrick or Drake fans combined. This beef really made them feel like it’s finally a safe space to vocalize their hatred, discontent, jealousy, or whatever other suppressed emotions they have lol.

Kendrick won the beef because he controlled public perception… that just is what it is, unfortunately.

If we’re ACTUALLY talking about the music, the lyrics, and the content, Drake won.

But when battling in an arena where there no clearly defined winners and losers, the subjectivity of public perception is THE most important variable in determining a winner.

With the sheer number of people who dislike Drake far outweighing the number of fans either rapper has, Drake was doomed from the start. No matter what moves he made, y’all were always gonna find a way to change the narrative or move the goalposts so that he was losing.

Lol those tweets are after drake saying he's not responding though no matter how many tracks dot drops...meaning he's done

I was with you until you started talking about Drake won off the music

I love both artist definitely my top 2 of the last 15 years and it has flipped between them often so I have no reason to hate on either one and I gotta say Kendrick kicked Drake’s ass bro

This nigga dissed him with every type of diss record imaginable and they all hard lol.

First he hit him with the iconic feature verse diss with Like That (really a page out of Drake playbook with Stay Schemin and No Shopping) s*** will literally be played forever

Then he hit him with a nice well rounded diss with Euphoria that has all the elements of a great diss (great bars, great production, great performance and charisma, confrontational, high level disrespect, humor, and even commercial appeal)

Then he hit em with 6:16 in LA which was smooth and less confrontational but more lyrically dense over a classic Al Green sample, basically told Drake he has a mole and his people ain’t loyal and he needs to tread lightly

Then he drops MTG which completely assassinated this niggas character regardless of what’s true or not. We all know in politics perception is reality and it’s the same with rap beef.

Finally he completely humiliates this nigga by dropping a number 1 hit radio/club banger that completely calls him out on being a pedo, has people adopting FAN into their slang, and has people chanting OVHOE lol

Drake kept it somewhat competitive throughout with his records but Kendrick dog walked this nigga man

A family friend who is very loosely tapped into hip-hop, brought up this whole situation when we were hanging out, asking for clarity. He knows who the rappers are and had some semblance of what was going on… With no context, I played him all of the songs.

After finishing THP6 and I told him that was the last one, he was like, “Wow! Drake absolutely killed Kendrick in this beef.” He admitted that Kendrick made a banger in NLU, but speaking on the lyrics and content, Drake handily won… lol that’s coming from pretty much the only truly unbiased opinion I personally know. Anecdotal, yes, but it gets the point across.

It is, especially when the same camp was just celebrating Kendrick having more records to drop hours earlier.

I don't know how people are insistent that Drake's "tone" = he waived the white flag when Kendrick had a similar tone on MTG.

Drake directly addressing Kendrick's allegations towards him and demanding Kendrick do the same because he's only saying facts about Kendrick and then Kendrick's team immediately calling an end to the beef said everything that needed to be said: they finally got a hit record with Not Like Us and didn't want things to go on for fear of Drake exposing what he had on Kendrick. That's all that was.

As for Drake, he likely realized that things had gotten to a point where nothing he says would move the needle with folks since they've already made up their mind that Kendrick has won and he's now ready to move on, especially with the drive-by shooting and niggas trying to break into his house and him recognizing how continuing the beef at this point would generally be a very bad look.
