That does not sound like grounds for a successful suit to me.

You’d think the label can formulate any reasonings behind their offer, would you not?

Are they legally obligated to give him a deal he likes?

So would you

100% they can form any reasonings they like, with that said i am not a lawyer but im pretty sure its unfair if you purposefully hurt an artist on your label to in turn devalue their brand which would net you more profit

He should

THP6 had way too many YouTube views

i do not care about their label and streaming wars.

i have a life. i will post about this and go about my day and never think of this again during my day.

why are you dedicating your energy into this?

thats such a reach though

you make it sound simple but drake proving his own label uses bots to boost traffic on NLU does not easily interconnect into trying to give him a worse contract. just to connect those two points you would have to prove so much.

even with bots and learning that bots are widely used, he would then have to prove they were being used in order to devalue him rather than just being used how they always are.

id be here defending kendrick just like i am drake

just like how i said thp6 was trash and hey now is a fire song

His back catalog is going to continue doing streaming chart topping numbers for years but the new music is going to fizzle and that brings me no joy

its literally in the f***ing legal papers if you read it man, the whole point of the legal suit is that this connects to his upcoming deal

man yall dont read, you just see a couple posters that you recognize and jump on the same train as them?

I get what you’re saying lmfao. Tensions are high and drake should’ve thought this through from a PR standpoint because the general public doesn’t care about the point you’re making.

And usually the rebuttal to that is “who cares? It’s the right thing to do” but we all know payola has benefited drake at some point in his career (with UMG might I add) and on top of that even if he “wins” this no one cares. And let’s just keep it a buck, this s*** is about to get sniped down in 2.2 seconds.

he's arguing a bad faith argument in the contract formation process. they would be acting in bad faith pseudo fraudulent ways by taking steps to devalue the metrics used to establish an offer price.

But that is why he's trying to subpoena UMG

He's suggesting that they have proof of this

i hate when niggas do this "well if they did it you would act differently" yes nigga because context and nuance exists even if the scenarios were the same

i slept on it and i now dont believe its too crazy. regardless of the messenger i wouldnt be surprised if both labels have a hand in making beef as publicized as it was via streaming farms. i was watching that Rory video on IG and, though it figures, the fact that all the major labels have a stake in spotify is nuts and makes me suspect foul play. Drake is probably the only guy big enough for it to make waves so lets see how it goes. i also havent read the docs so maybe thats not what its about

whats the context behind this? either you read the suit and understand that the context is that drake feels umg hurt him deliberately to hurt his upcoming record deal, or you see a couple headlines and think "drake sued kendrick over NLU"

context and nuance exists and yes id defend kendrick if he was the one suing, and ill defend drake while he is the one suing

Vince Staples called this bullshit out

... why are they on your ass for this?

people see it as a drake vs kendrick thing not understanding drake deliberately said "no i am not going after kendrick"

yes thats the point of the SUIT nigga im saying trying to prove that wouldnt be some f***in walk in the park like you think it would
this nigga has citations in the documents that literally hurt his case who even gives a f*** about the legal papers

I’m just in awe that the number hungry fanbase now has to slowly come to the realization that the streams are make believe

Used to work in this building lol

why DIDN'T Kendrick sue over Family Matters? why DOESN'T Kendrick have a video of him kissing a 17 year old? why DIDN'T Kendrick make The Heart Part 6 aka the worst diss track OAT? Maybe your mans is just trash

lmao you only watch suits for legal info or do you dabble in real life sometimes? this is just a play to get more information and to legally require umg to not delete records and to turn them over, so drake and his team can build a bigger case

I find it hard to believe Drake hasn't been one of the main artists that has benefited from what he's sueing UMG for over the last like 10 years of his career, assuming it's mostly true
