The fact that we all know this makes the decision even more impressive.

He didn't officially release Duppy. He's keeping the direct beef raps separate from the actual catalog.

At least that was on Soundcloud

Spotify and Apple Music existed back then though. He didn't want it associated or discoverable by his general fans tbh, just like Push Ups or whatever else is to come. Plus, it removes all of the pressure for any diss he releases to match what Like That is doing on the charts. It's smart.

Yeah i want push ups on Soundcloud tho

isnt it better this way?

do you really want non rap media organizations leeching off the beef and flooding our timelines with their insufferable think pieces?

this way it stays hip hop. i hope kendrick keeps his response off streaming too.

Someone in bo1-da’s camp said the second half is a full song. I imagine once Kendrick drops we’ll get the full track

Maybe it'll drop on DSPs tonight.

He released it on his own YouTube channel, that is an official release. He just didn't make it available for streaming/sale

thread is 5 pages too long. whats beef sampled in the production. lock thread.

understand the point of keeping it "hip hop" but in 2024, it needs to be on the streams. he should drop it on streaming without any reservations because Kendrick doesn't have s***.

I'm sure it's on there. Just not from OVO

If it's not for sale it can't be official tbh. Even Right Hand got an Apple Music release yet wasn't "official"

Cause he doesnt want the white label’s executives to line their pockets with money from black men tearing eachother down unlike those pawns metro, future, and kendrick whos whole rollout was decidated to just that

I am a fan of Drake

It is def weird that Drake hasn't even acknowledged Push Ups

It's one thing to not upload it to streaming

another to not upload it onto SC

I just don't get why he not acknowledging it. Not a good or a bad thing, I just don't get it lol

I think we have different definitions of official. I think you are conflating official with commercial. In my opinion official means it was released via one of Drakes official channels, which it was

lol

OP lost /thread

SHUT YA MOUTH

He was really really tryna keep it PG

Lock it up boys

Lock thread
