Kendrick vs Drake

[Gori the Grey]

Ha ha ha ha ha! Yes.

Dr. Gré said:
Not sure I ever expected to see
The day that a rapper's rap-boasting would be
That more than his foe, he takes seriously
The parental attentions he owes to his seed.

Regarding:

Y'all think all my life is rap?
That's ho s***, I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that
Wakin' him up, know nothin' 'bout that
Then tell him to pray, know nothin' 'bout that
Then givin' him tools to walk through life like day by day, know nothin' 'bout that
Teachin' him morals, integrity, discipline, listen, man, you don't know nothin' 'bout that
Speakin' the truth and consider what God's considerin', you don't know nothin' 'bout that

Which, on my early estimation, is the heart of this slap, in conjunction with this:

I'm allergic to the lame s***, only you like bein' famous

Because he seems to be saying, "It doesn't even matter to me if I win the status of Greatest-of-All through this rap battle. I just want to expose you as a phony."

Has anyone called into question his pronunciation of "antic" as "antique," though?

Well who won?

 

[sophie]

Kendrick won it so hard that you honestly forget that it started as a beef between peers.

Went out last night and this came on and the club went berserk.

 

[Narz]

Gotta give some credit, strike a chord a-minor pretty good line altho how many times he gonna make the same joke. Like Lamar always checked IDs, be funny if he got me2ed in a few months.

Musically its meh, tired of the beat two min in. Doesn't seem like dance/club music.

I've heard IRL and seen online multiple casual, passing references to Kendrick tracks from the beef but have never heard anyone refer to Drake's tracks.

 

[Hygro]

On Spotify, Kendrick started at 60m monthly listeners, Drake at 80.

Drake rose to 83m or so during the peak of the fight, but has declined. Kendrick only rose.

Kendrick passed Drake with 73m monthly listeners, with a +13m gain, and Drake dropped 7m from before the beef. I believe these trends will continue for the rest of the year and then we'll see.

 

[Gori the Grey]

Kendrick performed a concert in LA on Juneteenth, which he closed by playing Not Like Us five times in a row, audience singing along and cheering along. One guy in the audience went through it a sixth time on his own.

 

[Hygro]

The weird Kendrick says "weird" to set up the landing of the verse hit hard and infiltrated politics deliciously.

But also, it was in meet the grahams

​

I been in this industry 12 years, I'ma tell y'all one lil' secret​

It's some weird **** goin' on and some of these artists be here to police it​

They be streamlinin' victims all inside of they home and callin' 'em tender​

Then leak videos of themselves to further push their agendas​

​

To any woman that be playin' his music, know that you're playin' your sister​

Or better, you're sellin' your niece to the weirdos, not the good ones​

I did appreciate his distinction between good and bad weird before handing the culture the word, supercharged.

And I like that it's the exact same kind of bad weird the culture needed to call weird.

 

[Gori the Grey]

I was weird back when it was weird to be so.

What a hero. Twelve years knowing about this but just talking about it after allegations are already out.

It's almost like all the bad b****es weren't a ****ing problem until he discovered he could make bank off talking about it. Turning on his former collaborator in order to create distance. The lady doth protest to much, for sure he's got some skeletons in his closet, when they come out don't be too shocked.

 

[Hygro]

This whole time I thought you guys were actually spelling out horsehocky.

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Don't know about the others, but I do actually type out 'horsehocky' myself
