That last verse was f***ing masterful
He completely shifted the entire mood of the beef, thats when it felt obvious he was in control. People were saying the beef went too far and wasnt fun anymore just for him to drop Not Like Us right after
I really do think Drake did good and woulda beat basically anyone else in that beef, but Kendrick’s moves were too well plotted up. Drake literally sounded tired and unsure on the Heart Part 6
Idk if you watch sports at all but in basketball there’s this idea of controlling the pace and the tempo of the game.
Like yeah people can say Drake had good bars or a good song yadda yadda, but this entire encounter moved completely on Kendrick’s timing, and he controlled the mood of the entire thing. I think that’s a big and overlooked reason as to why he won
the whole aftermath has been so weird
I feel like in all honestly they thought they’d do so much more damage to his career than they actually did, some probably felt corny for joining in, and want to make good graces before he s***s all over them again on his next album
Think future and him never had truly irreparable beef though it had to be over a b****
Is it though? He’s deconstructing fake s*** about Drake.
Excluding the daughter (which we still have no concrete information about), what exactly was fake about that song
“Character deconstruction” aimed at calling him a degenerate s***addict when his entire last album was dedicated to how he needs therapy for his s***addiction (because he cheated on his fiancé he is stringing along)
It’s only a mic drop to people that hate Drake lol
Name another rapper who would’ve dropped a song like Meet the Grahams against Drake

Ross and Future were the biggest shocks for me out of the whole thing. Maybe Metro just wanted to keep it about the music? I dont think he expected this beef to escalate the way it did and now his name is plastered over the whole thing. But I mean, what did you expect when you got 2 albums out dedicated to dissing Drake with various features. Idk. Metro was the last person I expected to be somewhat apologetic about the whole thing.

Yea in case u missed it, it hits different when someone calls out your flaws vs u doing it yourself
Especially in a rap battle
Your boy drake tried it on Taylor made freestyle too
“Talk about how he like young girls for me”

Planned his entire performance around having a pre-orchestrated “viral” moment
Made sure the cameras were zoomed in
this is a grown ass man behaving like college aged broad
like fr I thought Metro was gonna be on this timing the way he was moving throughout the beef @BAMSKI_backshots

This the most boring way to look at it

Yeah, it hits different coming from another voice in the rap industry that people love and respect just as much as Drake. It’s not exactly what he said, it’s who is saying it

Yeah i don’t think it hits hard at all when the pot is calling the kettle black
You may though but i guess you do you

I dislike corny behavior I fear.
I enjoyed the battle for what it was but I really wish we got a pre-album mode Drake v Kendrick and not a post-tour + post-getting jumped + quality declining and begging for a vacation Drake v Kendrick
Regardless of who would win I honestly think we were cheated out of the battle we wanted 5-10 years ago
This is all so interesting
