None of these 8 songs come anywhere close to Pusha’s Story of Adidon imo. Kendrick’s tracks sound like something on the B side of the cutting room floor I don’t get what people are going crazy over. Drakes stuff sound like he should have came with that energy on his latest album otherwise it might not have flopped.



Ya for sure that’s why idk where the Kendrick glazing is coming from lol. Pusha killed Drake way worse and he wasn’t being slandered like this

Self inflicted how? Kenny not even denying what drake saying :nod:

See this is that media illiteracy that was mentioned earlier on full display.

He addressed this in Euphoria right at the opening and in Meet the Grahams' final verse but I guess it doesn't count because it wasn't spelled out in as simplistic/corny terms as it could possibly be expressed.

Kendrick: "Why should people believe you, you have a history of lying and here are the things you lied about"; listing a series of things that Drake has been proven to have lied about in the past such as his first kid that was first brought to light in a completely unrelated rap feud from a few years ago

Drake in his response: Lies about Kendrick being molested as a kid (The most charitable reading you can give this bar is he was misinterpreting "Mother I Sober" where Kendrick talked about his mother being violated and the generational trauma that it inflicted which, considering Kendrick called him a manipulator, is not much better) and lies about never "looking twice at no teenager" in an attempt to rebuke Kendrick calling him a pedophile while namedropping one of the teenagers he's alleged to have groomed (Millie Brown); Kendrick never mentioned Millie Brown by name nor alluded to them specifically. More significant, we literally have video of him kissing a then-17 year-old girl who he referred to as "curvaceous" after learning about her age and talked about her breasts before kissing them again (which as an aside, that's just weird to talk about a fan's body like that on stage regardless of their age. Like imagine if Adam LeVine was at a concert saying "that booty is thick" to one of the wine moms in the crow-actually you know what bad example given the leaked LeVine DMs.):


Brown has talked about Drake texting her when she was 14 and said DMs involved him giving her advice about boys:

Just like Lamar, all of the claims and rebuttals Drake has made rely on their credibility. The difference is that Drake lacks credibility given his history of lying. So him saying "I planted a mole, fake news" without receipts while lying on that same diss track only further discredits his reliability.

Just to be clear: Did you miss the point that severely that you needed it spelled out for you? If so, let me do just that: If there was a mole/false information being fed to Kendrick's camp, he could just show the receipts and we would be done with this. That's what Ye/Kim did.

That's your opinion. But in Battle Rap it's all about damage and rhymes not about catchy sounds with rnb singing ****. And Kendrick killed Aubrey.

The fact that you have clubs full of people singing "O-V-HO" and reacting to "Not Like Us" in droves is pretty devastating in of itself, irrespective of what one thinks of the song. Like that's some Fabian "sap them of their strength without directly attacking them" deviousness.
Just a few examples:



I didn't listen to any of that garbo so I wouldn't know but people still saying he didn't deny uppercutting his woman

The heart part 6 - 650k likes 1m dislikes

Crazy seeing a drake video with that like/dislike ratio. Drake gotta be one of the most hated or it might just be Kendrick FC dedicated to spamming the dislikes. "The heart part 6" is a disrespectful song title to Kendrick's other "the heart " songs


Drake gets hated on cause he's only half black or like cause he's goofy and weird. In the Rap game, you gotta act hard or come from the streets for credibility. Kendrick on the other hand makes some statements that people think are philosophical even though its really not all that deep.

I think you had your feelings hurt. Meet the Graham's and Not like us clear that. Euphoria clears Family Matters.
Drake had his best output on Push Ups and that was more about him going after the others (Metro, etc.) than Kendrick.

Family matters had a good start and a good end. The middle section was the weakest part if you ask me. Too many filler bars. Kind of like Euphoria in that sense but worse.

Its okay to admit that your God took an L. Even he waived the white flag. Why can't you?

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.

No you stop it. The second it doesn't fit your narrative, you want to cry foul with what-about-ism. That is a strawman argument if I ever read one.

The only venues that will not bump that song will be for Canadian sport teams more than likely at this point.

Accept the loss and keep it moving.

Same fans coped hard when Push forced their God into accepting his fatherhood. I disagree on Kendrick's product sounding like b-side cutting room floor product. Outside of Push Ups. generally Drake missed. The start and end of Family Matters could of been salvaged. He had something there.

Lets's not give this man a W when he is shooting 3-20 from the field right now.

It is fair to say however that Pusha opened the door for all of this when he slapped him up on the mic.

Agree ... and there is no evidence that ties it to Kendrick's actions, only speculation.

Same people who tried to roll on Pusha T when he did a show here during the beef with the threats and all. Where was the outrage from the Drake stan crew then? If that had nothing to do with Drake, extend the same to Kendrick for this.

Double standards need not apply here.

Okay, I just listened to that Not Like Us tune and I couldn’t care less who wrote it….

Sounds like absolute Nickelodeon dogsh*t that an 8 year old made with fruity loops.

I’m disappointed in you guys if you call that good music. I really am.

Production is slightly better but the tune still pretty sh*t too. Both need to start hiring some proper ghost producers, lol.

There has been times that I just don't understand this part of Hip Hop culture, goes way back to Tupac.. Liked a lot of what he did... but not that stuff.

If you're legitimately upset, why live with that anger... if it's all for show... again, why? They're both talented dudes... I prefer Kendrick (especially musically, he can sort of be "prog hip hop"), but whatever.

I'm a metal head at heart (love lots of other genres)... but when they hated each other they'd just say so and move on. That may be because the metal community for the most part has been inclusive... we were all high school pariahs, "skids", "dirtbags" and angry at the world and found comfort with other people that were "different". Metal just brings positive aggression for a lot of people. I'm older, so it was a different time.

Yeah sure.. the Mayhem lead singer killed his guitar player... but that was outlier. :D

I do love some of those Hip Hop dudes reacting to like a Slayer song on YouTube.... :lol:

Disstracks are never about good beats/instrumental, most of them are leftovers or halfway through produced beats with no mastering. It's not about to make a hit or anything. This is a Beef. That's it. If u want club music and get drunk go to Drake, if u want good conscious music go to pulitzer prize winning musician kendrick and hear GKMC, TPAB, DAMN & MORALE & BIG STEPPERS.

What kind of numbers do you want this man to do :lol:

That being said… isn’t the Kendrick disses #1 on the charts? How is drakes numbers looking here?
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.
