lol if anything that’s more inauthentic.

Drake can’t even just post on social media and be quiet or just do his whole Ig caption thing himself

either has to launder all his s*** through people more palatable to the masses like Yachty or AK or Adin while simultaneously claiming to be anti-industry. Drake is so industry he can’t even relate to his own audience on a social media level anymore

No b**** everyone didn’t know s***. Y’all niggas went on for years capping about that man’s pen. Don’t rewrite history. Y’all were celebrating just weeks prior when Lupe was glazing Drake.

Kendrick was also un battle tested. Don’t get in here and lie

It’s mutually beneficial

Drake gets swag and relevancy with the kids

Yachty gets more respect and back into the spotlight

MTG even being on the charts at all is insane, don't get wrong I f*** with it heavy probably my favorite diss out of everything

But what scenario are you listening to that in to be as high as #12 lmaoo

dude launched an entire media campaign

he even shouted out Kai Cenat on Push-Ups, Kendrick was spot on with that master manipulator s***

idek who it was but i think it might’ve been @SegaDreamFlash that said he shouts out people to get them on his side to try to control the narrative, he did the same s*** with Meek Mill and shouting out AR-AB that was tied to actual street s***

it’s crazy cause i thought the situations would be completely flipped for this beef

i thought Drake would write a super strong melodic hit/banger just straight going at Kendrick and he would secure a #1, he would have people making TikToks, dancing to it, the entire kitchen sink

i figured Kendrick would be stuck making inaccessible but at least dense and thoughtful critiques and attacks on Drake’s character, but would fail to chart in any significant way, and the entire thing would be about having to argue about how Drake attaining a number one doesn’t mean he won, blah blah etc.

he dropped MTG (at which point he already won for me tbh) and then he just slammed him with Not Like Us which became a smash hit

beat him on literally every front

Meanwhile YG was in Mustard’s comments congratulating him on the #1 and Chris was dancing to Not Like That in the club

I really want to understand why he thought Kendrick wouldn’t be able to come back from family matters. I think Drake really doesn’t rate Kendrick at all and thinks he’s overhyped. There’s no other explanation why he acted so cocky

I don’t even think the kids rate Lil Yachty tbh, his relevancy stems from 2016.

Because he didn't think Kendrick would go so deep w/ the pdf stuff. That's all. But Kendrick knew he had to

You’re projecting onto me, if you wanna talk about exaggerated fan takes you can just post your opinion normally instead of replying to me.

You’re reframing history to make your favourite artist sound like an underdog and it’s weird, we know they’re the biggest two artists in their field. Both of their pens should be respected and still are imo. We can respect and appreciate Kendrick’s W for what it is and how he played the game.

I can agree Kendrick had a perception of not being battletested, but that doesn’t mean a Drake W was guaranteed. He literally had an L on his belt from the last time he went against an artist who’s calibre of writing was highly praised.

when Drake says he has no friends in the industry he’s projecting

To him, anybody who has a seemingly sincere relationship with a peer that isn’t based on business or clout boosting is actually getting cucked and fleeced. Drake thinks the only reason he’s friendless in the business is bc he sees through the lies unlike everyone else. This is narcissism.
