    can somebody explain how tpab is critic bait

    I remember kendrick saying it was the album he always wanted to make but nobody would give af if it was his first, which is facts.

    I don't think man was in the studio thinking "man the New York Times gonna love this one"

    Just white kids saying black artists are making music for white critics in a weird round about way

    That’s what happens when the artists are still throwing shots at eachother a decade later

    I don’t really see it anymore. 2013-2015 yeah but at this point I don’t think either one really cares anymore. The fans do though because they are the 2 big ones in the game.

    I don’t believe it was critic bait

    But I can probably argue for it

    Naming the title as a reference to To Kill A Mockingbird (IMPORTANT book) along with the artwork and the literary structure/emphasis on poetry, I could picture him making it saying “they gonna teach this at schools” or a similar thought process, it’s more like academic bait

    They’ve definitely matured since then but I think the shots thrown atm are subtle as hell. I might be alone on this but I wholeheartedly believe the last few bars on “Sticky” were directed towards Kendrick

    It’s weird how no one can just get along. Both Kendrick and Drake fans salty as hell.

    Which bars

    When everything is put to rest
    And everybody takes a breath
    And everything gets addressed
    It's you alone with your regrets
    All that pumpin' up your chest
    All that talk about the best
    You know how sticky it gets

    That’s a neat observation, I’ll remember that next time some Drake Stan gets on my nerves

    All that puffin out your chest
    All that talk about the best

    All I hear is tall talk coming from little men

    Same ones that claim to run the game but not even in it

    Fellas know they need to stop
    I’m standing at the top that’s how I know you never seen the top
    I’m running out of opps, they runnin out of options
    Put em up for adoption, sign my name on the DOT

    This is all from the last year, blatant examples of drake still throwing subs at Kendrick

    Ehhhh I mean I guess I can see it with Kendrick talking about “smoking on top 5” but it’s still very vague. Compared to 2014-2015 when the shots were very on the nose.

    What does Kendrick regret? He's pumped out his chest once in 5 years. He's literally been resting and taking breaths.

    Drake fans live in their own magic reality

    Has Kendrick responded to any of these or is Drake trying to provoke a response

    If Drizzy still had issues with Kenny though, why would he follow him on IG and like his posts then? Drake is too petty to be doing all of that and then sending shots.

    Unless for Drizzy it’s more of a friendly competition then something personal like with Pusha.

    I’m not a Drake stan bro nor can I speak for the man when he’s talking about his opponents having regrets. He could be talking about Control idfk. That nigga wasn’t slick with them bars though. I see right through it

    IIRC he liked a post (after HPV dropped) about nobody wanting to hear Kendrick’s “woke” raps

    I do think it’s a lot less personal than the pusha thing and more just rap dominance s***. There’s no other way for me to read those drake lines though

    All that was drake responding to family ties, I don’t think we got too much response from Kendrick since besides the line about Ye and Drake which I know is light but in context felt like a slight jab
