OT - Raptors Global Ambassador vs Kendrick

[LoveMyRaps]

They not like us, they not like us, they not like us

That song is trash

#1 in the world and has been played in MLB stadiums, and on the NBA broadcast last night. Tough look for Aubrey.

This is hilarious because whenever Drake would top charts and break streaming records, people like YOU would be the first to say "none of that matters. streams don't represent who's better"

Drake for the last decade has been the most popular and most played hip-hop artist in the world, yet I'd always hear "all because he's the most popular doesn't mean he's the most talented"

But now... since Kendrick is the one being played everywhere and topping charts - all of a sudden it's "tough look for Aubrey" and a huge win for Kendrick?

Stop it man.

[Fairview4Life]

Kendrick is a dude who makes albums about his own demons, racial issues, religious stuff, (So the next time I talk about money, hoes, clothes, God and history all in the same sentence) etc. and suddenly you are wondering what is motivations is to oust a guy he obviously has some sort of information re: him as a pedo?

The guy creates music and for most of his catalogue has some sort of message with it - it really does not surprise me at all that the dude is using it to try and bring to like that Drake is a weirdo.

So sure- yeah I guess he has a "motive", but so does every other artist in the world :lol:

You think Drake is a pedophile? Like actually believe that? And that Kendrick actually thinks that too and is…releasing battle raps because of this secret info he has? Come on bud. He thinks Drake is phony and doesn’t like that he sells lots of records. He’s not out here because he thinks he’s saving kids from Drakes clutches.

It is pretty silly to think Kendrick, a multi-millionaire, is going this hard at a dude because he sells a lot of records :lol:

If Kendricks claims were completely unfounded and not built in reality, SOMEONE would step up and defend the guy, no? Instead we have everyone piling on because the dude is a weirdo. Even if he is not a "pedophile" (which suggests small kids), he certainly uses his power/fame over top of some questionable girls. The fact the defense from drake fans has turned into "See! The teenagers were FINE with it so that makes it ok!" speaks volumes.

I would say no - just because some teenagers out there are fine with being groomed or felt up by adults does not make it ok for said adult to do it.

It is not silly to think that Kendrick is going so hard at him because he is mad that an artist he doesn’t respect earns a lot of money making music he thinks doesn’t belong to him. He thinks Drake is an actor, essentially, a try hard who he, yes, doesn’t like selling lots of records. This real vs fake artist thing happens all the time everywhere.

What’s absurd is thinking Drake is a pedophile and this is finally the time that someone is going to speak out, in the form of a **** rap. That’s not how any of this works.

Stop it man.

So how is it that the guy with 87M Spotify Followers is being out streamed by the dude with 28M followers?

Would one not be able to make a logical connection that if Drakes trackers were superior that he should be able to outstream a guy with a third of the following?

Nah man - this is a rap beef and the fact that Kendrick is getting a rap beef track played on national television is INCREDIBLY important. Drakes youtubes video has more dislikes than likes currently. This is the BIGGEST RAP STAR IN THE WORLD and he is being outplayed by a guy with less than half the following.

But hey - Drake fans can continue to cope.

And like FWIW here - I like some Drake tracks. I am not some massive Drake hater here who hates everything he does, and I even said I didn't mind the flow and vibes that Heart Part 6 had (maybe that was IRL with buddies, idk). That being said - he has been BODIED in every way.

But if steams don't matter, does the internets biggest music website?

Must say though - completely troubling how hard some of y'all are trying to defend Drakes actions with these girls.

Every Kendrick fan I have seen pretty much admits if he beat his wife he is a POS for it, but Drake fans are trying to explain away the pedophile claims. Nauseating.

Too many people see criticizing an artist they like as judging them personally. Something something death of an author.

Okay, so what is your thoughts on Drakes wife beating allegations or the dave free stuff? Or is it a one-way road?

At least what Kendrick states has some smoke with **** that has been said, videotaped, and photographe.

YogourtProducer is a self proclaimed Kdot stan.

I am a huge Kdot guy

I think your above sentence probably applies more aptly for him than anyone else in this thread Pretty sure the rest of us like both of their music to a degree but can call someone out if they're out of pocket. Can't believe I'm defending Drake in any instance tbh but here we are.

[Hero]

It feels like some people will put more energy in defending Drake than their own family or friends.
What a world to live in.

Millie Bobby Brown has said he was a mentor to her and the idea he was grooming her for sex is weird.

The 17 year old at the concert said this recently:


The Bella Harris thing was fake news, according to Harris. As in “I wasn’t in the city when that supposed picture was taken and I never dated Drake” level of fake news. So I don’t know what I’m supposed to be so shocked about here. I mean, yes, bury him under the prison if he’s out raping kids, and you know, maybe don’t just rap at him. But if these are the smoking guns…I’m not all that worried. I don’t think Kendrick beats his wife either. I think it’s all **** so they have some stuff to rhyme about. Drake is out basically shooting his shot with Rhianna, a bunch of strippers and porn stars and whatnot. If the proof he’s a pedophile is that concert clip and things that the other parties say didn’t happen, I don’t think you need to really concern troll everyone else about it.

And ghislaine maxwell picked out girls for Jeffrey Epstein - what the **** kind of argument is that Drakes crew picked her? At best Drakes crew likes young girls, but more likely they know what kind Drake likes

Besides - the weird part is not a 17-year old going on stage. The weird part (you seemed to just ignore) is finding out she is 17, then commenting how great her breasts felt.

Bella Harris was fake news? Explain this:

Spoiler:

How many girls in your life do you hold like this for a photo? How many are teenagers?

And mentoring 14-year old girls as a grown man is frankly, WEIRD. IDC what Millie said to be honest, as an outsider you can just tell that meeting a teenager back stage and then proceeding to tell said 14-year old you miss her is.... weird.

If any of these were 1-off occurrences you would have a leg to stand on. There is 3 (THAT WE KNOW OF) and all of them together start to make you wonder a bit.

Oh, and for fun, lets look at this Drake lyric:

You got a baby Benz, you got some bad friends
High school pics, you was even bad then

[carlosey]

Kendrick put his house up on his album cover and some idiot went and shot up the place leaving a security guard injured.

[Greg Foster Jr.]

Can't wait to see who guns down who first.

Hey man, no need to get personal. You've tried to do it several times now in this thread questioning my intelligence and frankly, it's a strategy you resort to in Raptors talk as well (just usually we're on the same side of the coin for those). Last time I checked, you're not Kendrick and I'm not Drake. I'm not out here beefing you. Anyway, I've spent too much energy talking about this nonsense. Peace.

For a moment, I thought the title was referring to Aubrey and Kendrick Big Perk Perkins.

Then I realized.

We need to hear Big Perk's take on "Meet the Grahams".

These 3 (THAT WE KNOW OF) occurrences are weak sauce if you’re trying to call someone a pedophile. And a song lyric? Come on now. This just seems like trying way too hard to make fetch happen.

I think Drake should have stuck with his funny lines about Kendrick’s fake activism, being short, somebody hand him a Grammy etc and Kendrick should have stuck with calling him a fake tough guy and playing on his insecurities about not being respected or black enough. Kendrick seems to viscerally hate him though (and no it’s not because he thinks he rapes kids). Going from “I’m the best” to “no you’re not, you’re a pedophile” to “no I’m not, you beat your wife” is just embarrassing, in my opinion anyway.

How is this even considered 'beef'?

Seems like it's two artists attempting to stay relevant, which inevitably leads to foolishness.

The fact you think Kendrick is saying "Drake rapes kids" is all I need to know about this. That is NOT what he is saying.

He is calling him a pedophile which is obvious hyperbole for what it really is (abuse of power / liking mid-teenaged girls). Pedophiles "technically" are those who like real young kids, which is not what he is going for here. But calling drake a "ephebophile" probably does not hit as hard, does it?

[Fairview4Life]

Alright. Someone writing ephibephile is when I tap out.

[rocky_da_best]

At least he admitted Kendrick is fabricating in his verses
