Now that there’s no more songs being dropped it lowkey does feel like a distraction cause how long is this convo gonna keep flooding every social media app. Arguing about dudes rhyming on a beat 😂

Kendrick picked an easy target since it seems like everyone wants to hate Drake. And smart for Kendrick he needed it, this is probably the most famous he’s ever been outside of white rap nerds circles. Mostly cause he’s trying to weaponize black women against Drake but they already hated him before any scandals so that was easy. Black people love to participate in colorism until it affects us.

I guarantee most of the people singing Kendrick’s praises don’t even listen to full albums lmao just npc’s talking to talk and then turn around and probably listen to Ice Spice unironically. Everyone who was outside pre covid knows how little Kendrick was getting praise from black people. It was mostly white dudes on the internet who want to feel more authentic in the culture just by listening to him, just like his crowd. I mean how do you think a white girl ends up saying nigga on stage at his show lol. If we’re being honest Drake probably has the most diverse crowd of any rapper/pop star and it’s not gonna change.

This beef probably changed nothing tbh. Nobody switched sides cause of these songs. Drake haters just went where the hate was coming from and Drake fans stayed in place. This isn’t even about Kendrick lmao you’re either a Drake supporter or Drake hater. No one even cares about who’s a Kendrick fan lmao. If anything all this beef did was show outsiders how selective and hateful black people can be towards our own. Where was all this smoke for Jack Harlow?

i swear you've made like 5 threads about a beef that was pointless

it proved Kendrick the greatest of that era

cope

What exactly did people expect to change though? Drake was always going to be able to fall back onto pop music.

Show me then

Npc talking to talk 🥱

Nigga posting 2007 era type memes lmao go get a job

its so pointless op just double posted the same comment and telling people to get a job when he just wrote an essay on a niche forum that the general public dont even know exist

Automated bot response

Nah people gonna be looking at Aubrey different because of these pedo allegations

It’s not about expecting, it’s about everybody acting like anything already did or will change. Like I said, talking just to talk.

Npc talking just to talk 🥱

his music already down 5 to 10 percent and still falling

One thing that definitely did change is people are respecting Kendrick's music a lot more. His streaming numbers have been going through the roof.

Literally all of Kendrick's albums are still charting. This idea that people dont actual listen to him is not reality.

you got a lot more people to convince than just me

keep typing some more

reads like drake stan cope from losing

It meant a lot to both artists’ legacy. Kendrick has also brought the discussion of who belongs in rap to the forefront. Is that really pointless to you?

“Arguing about two dudes rhyming on a beat 😂”

So you’re not a hip hop fan clearly so why should I care about any of your opinions on hip hop

it was always pointless. you don’t know them niggas!

as long as they keep making me dance and wave my hand and no nefarious behaviors are happening IDC!!

it was entertaining and gave us some good songs. sounds like it accomplished everything you’d want out a rap beef.

Stopped reading after you said "this is probably the most famous he’s ever been outside of white rap nerds circles."

Are they? All of this was already known for years. He’s had a lot of hits with big prominent artists since the Mille Brown thing and he hasn’t gotten convicted for anything. People just see the Diddy scandal and assume everything is gonna go the same way.

Not saying anything is set in stone but I highly doubt this is gonna go the Diddy route
