I'm not black, not American and not part of the culture. But even to the people who care about this stuff overseas, what you say about Drake using his blackness as a commodity and leaning on artists for clout or legitimacy is clear to see. Drake cares about image, success and engagement. Kendrick cares about hip hop and the communities who listen to it. The Heart PT.6 was for Drake's ego and his fans. Not Like Us was for the people.

[@bamm86]

Still saying Kendrick took too long to drop Euphoria tells me you still don’t get it. He took that long on purpose. It was a chess move. It gave Drake confidence that Dot wouldn’t be able to keep up with Drake’s pop star machine. Drake took the bait at every turn. Kendrick was in full control of this beef from start to finish.

[@jennyanthonia7553]

anecdotal story here but i didn’t even know drake dropped push ups or any of the songs prior to this beef happening, but when kendrick dropped euphoria everything was popping of on my timeline. as a bystander I could see that kendrick dropped it at the most opportune time

[@starcraftwars]

kendrick is true definition of boogeyman, not only was he in full control the whole time, he even straight up said "do not go there" multiple times shows he has class also, he does not need dirty tricks to win, he tells u exactly what will happen, it is on u to heed his warning, that's the reason I never clowned cole for apologizing, this beef was something he did not want to be apart of

[@justdereck795]

Not to mention, Kendrick has been calling Drake out for the better part of a decade, and Drake just got the confidence to respond. If anything it was us as Kendrick fans waiting for Drake to step up all this time

What Ebro just said about Kendrick sound versus Drake sound is unbelievably profound and the reason why not like us has been so effective it’s culture not commerce

The sad part is that Drake had been waiting for 10 years for this... and now he has a video with more dislikes than likes and he was getting dragged so badly that people actually think the shooting at his home was staged. For that narrative to even present itself just speaks to the volumes in which Drake lost.

[@ddrnold]

Meek Mills walked so Drake could run.

[@Pug8]

That's because for Drake it's always PR and staging for him. You live like a phony eventually everyone gonna believe you.

[@marcoreccagni152]

I thought they shot so cops get inside to investigate and finds evidences 😂😂😂

[@paradise_valley]

as a k-dot fan but also someone invested in the beef who doesn't absolutely despise Drake (yet)I was very disappointed in the response. it just misfired on all fronts - if you can't deflect it without seeming tone deaf and guilty, diss kenny some more, and get the meaning of his songs right and stay off reddit and twitter conspiracies. the whole thing should have been thought through a little more.

[@jerometruitt2731]

Bro same. I used to hate his takes on hip hop. Lately hes been making alot of sense.

@@flawed911 exactly. I think he’s shed a lot of his ego and looks at things more objectively and just being around hip-hop all these years makes him a lot better for this type of journalism.

Ebro's summation was everything - he understands this better than everyone! That's the only useful piece of information in this group discussion, it explains everything. Straight to the facts: 6:47-9:15, 11:43-13:35, 15:49-16:23, 17:59-20:02, 22:25-27:45, 28:09-28:57

Um sorry, no, it absolutely matters what is and is not true. If it doesn’t matter to some of the men who are responding to the discourse, that’s actually deeply concerning, because both of them are making serious accusations against each other about abusing women (and children, in Drake’s case). That’s always going to be more important, and if it’s not more important to you, that’s questionable. I say this as a born and raised hip hop head, who listened to every single diss track pretty much as soon as it dropped. The allegations 1000% matter. The fact that I even have to type that sentence is honestly disturbing 💯

[@PaperMillJ_Music]

I agree 100% ive heard a lot of podcasts say they dont care which is wildly absurd. I think a lot of people like being lied to or dont care for the truth in this day in age which explains why the people haven’t risen up from their regimes(topic for another conversation) , but others like outselves we want whats real to be spoken and thats why I love Kendrick he doesn’t “pacify me” with a lifestyle he tells me what the world is as well as the human experience. They definitely make wild allegations but id be more likely to believe Kendrick (even if he was lying) over drake because he has lied multiple times before

[@Bilnation]

Kendrick Lamar is what Hip-Hop is supposed to be about, unifying cities and shining light on different cultures.

Thanks for addressing the Drake being mixed comments. It was never about Drake being mixed, it was about how he treated the culture.

Simple people took what Kendrick said as him calling Drake not black because he's mixed. Drake continuously proves that he isn't connected to black people on any level beyond superficial. Never speaks on civil issues, makes crazy comments, etc.
