Back when she said "you don't need no other body" I knew she sacrificed English language syntax for rhyming sake.

Here are my honest thoughts on the beef

There's a whole generation of kids who right now are identifying with him as the "Not Like Us" guy, mostly because that's his most visible song in the last 7 years. The content of the song, the fact that it directly involved Drake and the fact that it'll likely end up as his biggest hit record ever are a combination of things he'll eventually come to resent. He'll go on having fans who keep demanding he performs the song at shows long after the lustre of it wears off.

For all the talk about Back to Back, the one thing Drake has always understood with all his rap beefs is to never make them a bigger moment than they needed to be. The same day he put Back to Back/Charged Up on DSPs was the same day Hotline Bling went up on DSPs. He knew not to let Back to Back be his big summer moment, even though the call in his beef with Meek was that he won. By August/September, Hotline Bling is a massive hit record, late September, he drops WATTBA and October, drops the music video for Hotline Bling, which made the song a cultural staple. All those moves, including Work with Rihanna being a massive hit led to Views being the massive era it was. He knew that career music — not rap beef music — was the momentum he needed to ride into the release of Views.

Kendrick's mistake is trying to lead an entire campaign into his next album on the momentum of Drake hate. I might end up being wrong but for as long as I've understood it, people showing you love/support mostly because of the disdain they have for someone else, will never be sustainable. I don't know why people seem to think that everyone who supported Kendrick's diss tracks as a way to s*** on Drake will automatically show up and support his next album.

Kendrick letting the Biden Harris campaign use the song is wild. Will probably be the real legacy of the song when the dust settles
