My only critique with Family Matters was that he went off and started dissing Rocky, Metro, Ross and Weeknd and even though some of it was well written and funny, he should NOT have underestimated Kendrick like that. He should’ve gave Kendrick all his time and energy even if the track was a little shorter.
Hot take but the more I go back to Family Matters as fun as it is the Rocky s*** will never land to me cuz it's like..
dude we were all there when Rihanna curved your kiss on live television..
We were there when you told Lebron you wanted to build a family with Rihanna.
There's no way you gonna try to convince me she was nothing to you lol
Them super powers gettin' neutralized, I can only watch in silence
The famous actor we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now is spiralin'
You're movin' just like a degenerate, every antic is feelin' distasteful
I calculate you're not as calculated, I can even predict your angle
Fabricatin' stories on the family front 'cause you heard Mr. Morale
A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now
You're not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted
Tommy Hilfiger stood out, but FUBU never had been your collection
I make music that electrify 'em, you make music that pacify 'em
I can double down on that line, but spare you this time, that's random acts of kindness
Know you a master manipulator and habitual liar too
BUT DON'T TELL NO LIE ABOUT ME AND I WON'T TELL TRUTHS 'BOUT YOU
Oh, you thought the money, the power or fame would make you go away?
Have you ever played have-you-ever? Okay, nigga, let's play

It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater
I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk
I hate the way that you dress
I hate the way you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct
Somebody had told that me you got a ring, on God, I'm ready to double the wage
I'd rather do that than let a Canadian nigga make Pac turn in his grave
Cutthroat business, you got s*** twisted
What is it? THE BRAIDS?
I hurt your feelings? You don't wanna work with me nomore? OKAY
I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk

You was signed to a nigga that's signed to a nigga that said he was signed to that nigga
Try cease and desist on the "Like That" record?
Ho, what? You ain't like that record

Ain't twenty-v-one, it's one-v-twenty if I gotta smack niggas that write with you
Yeah, bring 'em out too, I clean 'em out too
Tell BEAM that he better stay right with you
Am I battlin' ghost or AI? Nigga feelin' like Joel Osteen
Funny, he was in a film called "AI"
And my sixth sense tellin' me to off him
We don't wanna hear you say "nigga" no moooore
We don't wanna hear you say "nigga" no mooore
Push-Ups was actually fun you right
How many drake fans saying that NLU pedo anthem is weird also bopping their heads to DV accusations
Oh yeah the Ice Spice s*** came out after the initial insults that just kinda helped them be like “see I told y’all”
Drake really thought he had nothing to drop
Why calculate? You’re not as calculated. I can even predict your angle.
Yes I can. Family Matters is a way better song even if the outcomes of the beefs were diff
Who cares if Family Matters is the better song when Back to Back won Drake the beef? Lmao

oh you been cooking this one up all day
family matters as a song is cool, i actually like the flows he went with and the beat selection was dope. as a diss track though it f***ing sucks
the hardest hitting disses is him clowning rocky for sleeping with the woman of his dreams and clowning kendrick for getting the critical acclaim he wishes he got
Smh
Hispanics stay doing s*** like this man
You’re ignoring that that’s literally called connecting. There’s no other rapper to work with in Toronto. Of course if you want to rap as a foreigner you would go to the main regions.
Lil Wayne ran Atlanta at the time as a NOLA boy and he showed Houston the same love they gave him from his mob ties connection. As a nigga in NC we not judging Cole cause we were praying he don’t go to the Westside and get Peedie Pablo
"Lil Wayne ran Atlanta as a NOLA boy" is you proving my point.
Lil Wayne did ATL collabs but he was still Wayne and was still 100% New Orleans.
Drake morphs into whatever region he's collaborating with.
And for all we know there's prob fire underground Toronto rappers but we'll never know

Going somewhere is diff from type morphing into someone from there lol
Cole doesnt have 5 diff accents he puts on for diff songs
oh you been cooking this one up all day
I was rewatching the performance with my Brazilian shorty who ain't seen it yet
euphoria hits different on the replay

I know you f*** with Kendrick heavily but if Kendrick dropped a song dissing half the industry you'd be like

Who cares if Family Matters is the better song when Back to Back won Drake the beef? Lmao
Cause I wanna listen to good songs?
I know you f*** with Kendrick heavily but if Kendrick dropped a song dissing half the industry you'd be like

Nah Drake's response to the industry was Push-Ups tbh.
He didn't need to dedicate a whole verse on FM if that was supposed to be the nuke imo he shouldve just zeroed in on Dot
Yall didn't grow up with this and it shows, Drake really sonned all of them (aside from Kendrick)

I know you f*** with Kendrick heavily but if Kendrick dropped a song dissing half the industry you'd be like

if kendrick dissed a bunch of niggas he already addressed in a different song when he was supposed to be focusing on drake and then all of his disses toward drake are garbage besides “drake just opened his mouth, someone hand him a billboard award right now” i would be the first one to say he lost

Up there with the up in smoke tour dvd
I was just thinking earlier Imma need this on dvd or something like that lmao
I know it’ll be on the internet but I want that s*** on my shelf

He could have at least put on og Toronto icons for the new generation
No Kardinal Offishall, Maestro, Thrust.... Not one collaboration with the old guard afaik;
