Cause all that fake s*** and spamming music section with tweet topics and Reddit topics ain’t worth no energy
"In the epic Jay-Z and Nas beef, Hov competed by bigging up his commercial accomplishments and knocking Nas’ pro-Black messaging: “shit is garbage, what you tryna kick knowledge?” Nas clapped back by lamenting, “You traded your soul for riches.” Fans debate Jay-Z vs. Nas to this day because their approaches and career paths are so different that the debate becomes a litmus test for what kind of rap fan you are. Do you prefer the top-selling artist with hits and mass appeal, or the artist that has hits, but also tends to eschew mass appeal for experimentation? Do you want your fave to be ubiquitous like early 2000s Jay-Z, or to take their time in between projects so they can come back rapping backward stories like “Rewind?”
These kinds of debates would permeate a full-fledged Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef — if it happens. Kendrick and Drake respectively embody what rap was and what it’s become. Choosing between the two walks along dividing lines that shape one’s hip-hop philosophy. Thankfully, their feud doesn’t appear to be deeper than rap — but sometimes, that’s all the set-off one needs."

They both represent different visions for hip-hop and what it is and what it can be
IMO the way I see it is that Drake represents its decadent "gentrification" so to speak, increasingly commercial, ready to sell his soul to the highest bidder rather than sticking to principles of hip-hop culture
Kendrick represents rawness and authenticity, staying true to the game and the artform, and even though he got popping, he never abandoned the principles
I think that seems to be the general perception of the stakes, and certainly kendrick is attempting to frame it that way
One thing that I find interesting is that while it's always been the case that Drake "went pop" instead of staying "on some conscious s***," and Kendrick "went commercial while only making conscious albums," and the beef would have been about this no matter what year it happened, by 2024 it's almost like the differences (contradictions, maybe even, if you will) have become undeniable
Drake has really shaped hip-hop so much in his image, not entirely in ways that I find disreputable (I've always liked his music), that Kendrick has sort of remained the only real holdout to his hegemony (Kanye doesn't count because his bipolar ass is constantly embracing and rejecting Drake in a way that only confirms how he mentally defines himself as tied to C. Papi)
If it's true that this recent ting started when Kendrick was asked to be on FPS and turned it down, that's significant -- it'd represent the final significant rapper that has resisted giving into the Papiconda rejecting that assimilation
And to be fair, Kendrick is not entirely an uncommercial rapper, he's had his (sometimes failed!) attempts at trying to get that bag, and also was very explicit on Mr. Morale that HE IS NOT YOUR SAVIOR
And yet the historical context continues to put him on stage in a certain role...
