That's how he felt afterwards

The Money (Drake)
Power (J. Cole)
Respect (Kendrick)
Spirit (Logic)
A****** (Kanye West)

J. Cole bowing out of the beef:

You know it will lol he still dangles that s*** over Weeknd whenever he feels like dissing him

Go ahead and strike through drakes name. He has a zero percent chance of winning this.

Drake can use this Cole s*** to his advantage, he’s not out yet

I like the song, but it's not a Big Sean song lol

Once again it's ok to sit things out

But yes, being the guy since *2010 brings envy. Mainly through Puff, Jay, and Ye

This reminds me of that time my friend asked me to be his groomsman but we hadn’t really been close in awhile and I didn’t feel like I deserved it but I accepted anyways

Very true

Maybe this is something that needs to be acknowledged & embraced more

If that happens then we really can’t say s*** about Drake

But I’m assuming Kendrick & Cole write for themselves for the most part so Drake still would be at a disadvantage there

Genuine question, when was the last time Drake got a multi-week #1?

I aint making excuses I have no dog in this fight. What I'm saying is that Kendrick's side seems to be the one that's winning atm and a lot of people have already counted Drake out. That is what I meant. Drake's side is kind of in shambles atm. And anything less than a literal perfect banger diss will get him laughed out of the room

Slow down whippersnapper.

I interpret it as

The Money = Drake the most commercially successful of the 3. Breaking records on records

The Power= Cole had that underdog relatability factor that moved people and made them get behind him. They saw themselves in him. The power to move people.

The Respect = Kendrick is respected by critics and fans in a way the other 2 aren’t. He got people envious of him and also quiet as a mouse when he starts up.

Dam

Coke already used an angle Drake could use.

Kendrick can also use the cole thing by saying you said you and Cole like the Spider-Man meme and he waved the white flag.

to be fair it goes both ways too though, just because you are an immaculate writer doesnt mean you are the best at flowing or singing or rapping too

Skylar Grey is a great example of that, even though i think she has some great songs of her own too

Damn you really like that bro

For the “real hip hop” head crowd, yes in their eyes that title is forever going to allude Drake. He’s disqualified.

For the.. “above average hip hop fan” not quite die hard, but not a casual either type of fan, which I consider myself, I think he is. He’s easily top 10 today if he never made another song or did another verse.

For me a rapper needs to/should be responsible for writing at least 80% of their lyrics. Ain’t no way to literally quantify and verify it, but that’s the line for me. We all know Drake has written for other people, so we know he has a pen. The ghostwriter stuff definitely chinked his armor though. He’s certainly 1 or 2 for this generation.

@2words and @Nessy gotta be ouitarded
