There's a few angles he could work although it would be hard

• Cheating on his (black) wife with a white woman
• Contrasting that with the fact that he's a conscious rapper who tries to talk about uplifting our community and our struggles, very hypocritical and undermines his whole image
• Dissecting his savior complex (Kendrick kinda already beat him to this though)
• Criticizing profiting off racial stress and anxiety, calling him not a Messiah but a black capitalist like the rest of them (this is a bit too real though and would implicate most of the industry)
• addressing the mixed messaging from Kendricks end
• get to the root of their disagreement and acknowledge that they're in two different lanes and will never see eye to eye because hip hop is a diverse genre and the "GOAT" is an arbitrary title that hasn't been truly applicable in hip hop since the 80s (I don't think Drake or anyone has even matured to realize this though)

Basically he'd have to go political and social and I cant imagine Drake finally doing that since he's tried hard to purposely be apolitical for his whole career which I honestly think was smart. Kendrick chose the right battle, clever move.

My fav drake stan bit is they can’t comprehend music being made to relay a message or an idea. It’s only about accolades and b****es

It’s an interesting mindset to think flooding your discography and the music industry in general with subpar music is somehow better than taking your time to craft bodies of work that will stand the rest of time.

Who am I to judge though.

Music is entertainment before it's anything else. It has to serve that basic function before anything else and it's okay if it only entertains. Yes, it can also have a message and do more than just entertain but that's not something that's not some requirement necessarily.

Same way a movie can say more than just entertain but it usually has to be presented in an entertaining vessel to relay that message.

Yes and to be clear if someone made a thread just about North herself as a human I would call it weird. I have her album thread but part of why I did it cause I don't want it to get weird when it comes to her . These people parasocial level is CRAZY INSANE

But does that time have to be 5+ years? Reminder that Section.80, GKMC, TPAB and DAMN all dropped within a 6-year period.

Kendrick then took a 5-year break and returned with an album that was weaker than the weakest album out of the previous 4 I mentioned. Him taking his time did nothing to serve the music he eventually dropped.
