Strawman argument written by a dumbass who’s not even qualified to be called a midwit.
Lol
And Kendrick stans have shown themselves to be no better than MAGA Qanon nuts with all these ridiculous, disgusting conspiracies they are hoping are true.
What great company to be in 👐
“I’m what the culture feeling” - Kendrick Lamar
“Every song going #1 cuz of drake” - KTT2
“Is this the industry going against drake?” - KTT2
TLDR:Drakes fans’ narratives about culture are strictly based on quantity and ignore the very complicated nature of culture. No one in that group is asking why these disses are so popular, and it’s because they lack an understanding of how the world works outside of simple business perspectives.
BODYLet’s talk about culture first. Culture is a massive, amorphous, qualitative thing. Numbers can describe aspects culture but they cannot make conclusions as to how an object relates to culture. This is a big issue drake fans and 6ix9ine fans had in common. Their primary narrative was that the commercial popularity of their artists somehow meant they possessed a controlling force over cultural narratives
This is dumb. Big numbers only contribute to control is economic narratives. How many extremely popular figures exist as antagonists in culture? The devil? The police? These are forces that exist to unify an opposition. Attributing that quality as a controlling positive to the subject stupid af. Using measures that don’t apply to the topic we’re discussing only makes it more stupid
I think drake fans, like 6ix9ine fans, have incorrectly assessed how drake got to where he is, what his name means, and how this beef relates to all of that. His commercial success means little in regards to his cultural reputation, and his cultural reputation DEFINITELY doesn’t have to be a positive one when we see just why his name is so popular right now.
It’s also funny when people consider this coming together against drake to be some industry meddling when, once again, the entire Schtick of drake’s fanbase has only been talking about numbers like they’re industry A&R’s. Meanwhile drake is bragging about jerking off with Lucian Grange. Drake IS the industry and the way his fans discuss his cultural presence is only a runoff proof of that.
He is a cultural laughingstock, and no boasting about attention or numbers will get people that comfortable
Thanks...dope read and I agree with pretty much everything you said.

basically to sum it up people thought that since drake makes a bunch of hits and catchy and danceable music that tops charts, means we can't clown on him for his behavior or think he's a dork ..
Outside of twitter and hip hop forums no one really cares about this "beef" like that. No pun intended lol
OP I feel like stan culture as a whole has shown its ugly head during the beef. To pin it on one specific group is like Dems getting mad at Trump rather than looking at the entire picture

I definitely think so but there’s a difference between how different groups interact with different artists
I don’t think Kendrick and Kanye have chartwatching as a really popular thing in their fan bases

I agree there are tangible differences between the two. I get your point but I think both parties are the pot calling the kettle back to a certain degree
My opinion on Drake fanboys is lower than it’s ever been. And I didn’t think that was possible.
Kendrick fans went out sad too but not quite as sad as the Drake ones
Only quibble I'll present is that the fact that Drake has been heavily promoted "by the industry," as it were, does not preclude that "the industry" could now potentially be attempting to mess with him or even knock him out of the game
What gives you your power is what is most well-positioned to take it away

Are you blind or are you just a crack head liar? 🤣🤣
Do you not see all the threads about kendrick and Kanye songs/albums charting and them bragging about #1s this year?

Weird lie. Once again proving you don't care about anyone.

You’re dedication and you’re a known Nicki Stan that has defended her rapist husband.
I don’t co-sign anyone making fun of Christian Alvarez. I reported multiple comments making fun of his appearance.
Don’t act like you actually care though. You’re proudly apart of a community that harasses rape victims. It’s sad cause ur like 30 or something too

You are projecting again YOU are apart of a community defending kendricks rapist friend kodak black
You don't care about rape and people attack someone with disabilities. You are just trying to use it as a gotch moment. You don't care about anything besides trying to get ktt2 likes. Do better.
