Drake Finally Responded, Here's What We Know And What It Means Going Forward

[@Jay_Walker92]

That Metro line took me out 😂

😅Man, this whole thing feels like a Game 7 Finals Game! Kendrick came out aggressive & with a hot start in the first quarter! Up By 15 Points. Now Drake closed the gap in the 2nd half & went off with a 18 point quarter! And now in the lead by 3 points. Hip Hop is Back BABY!!!

[@nameisamine]

you need to talk about the leaks (and how 'leak culture' is spoiling rap battles).

[@Jorda5s]

It was leaked on purpose I’m pretty sure. Drake would have put it on dsp by now unless he’s making a video for it.

[@handeezyspeakseasy398]

Also Life is Good is Futures statically best song and Drakes on it and that was a #1 Hit as well 😂😂😂 and that Metro line is cus the beat for "Like That" is a slowed down version of Everlasting Bass by Rodney O & Joe Cooley, you can tell Metro redid the drums 😂😂😂 so that could be another double entendre😮

Mannnn, as a Kendrick Lamar fan, this diss track wasn't so bad at all. I respect Drake for FINALLY getting in the booth instead of talking through Instagram captions. The bar where Drake mentioned Rick Ross and Metro was funny as shit, I can't wait for what Kdot has in store for us soon ‼️‼️

great video !

[@TheQuestionsssssssss]

See the good thing bout fighting from the top is you deem who/what is important. Picking and choosing battles wisely. I think he’s gonna gear most of his focus towards Kendrick & Metro. Future, Weeknd, Ross might catch shots hear and there but I doubt he replies to them with they own specific track.

[@idkwhtmynameis1993]

The akademics wack100 phone call was illuminating for some of the bars that go over the head

[@dantealston8898]

The song AI. White boy confirmed it himself

That's a 🔥 azz line! I hope it's true!

[@RikodiusRex]

The body guard line makes sense 😂😂😂

[@4dbagel945]

The Drake diss would’ve hit harder if Rick Ross hadn’t released champagne moments. Releasing that within a couple hours with the French Montana and cosmetic surgery allegations was awesome. It made me remember that Kendrick barely even had to get specific in his verse, but it still got drake to run to the studio. Then Drake waits a couple weeks to release a pretty solid track, but then leaks it on purpose for some reason, but it’s probably related to marketing. Ross listens to it, takes 2 hours and came back with receipts, so imagine what Kendrick is holding back. Drake made a full length song and still couldn’t come up with anything on anybody outside of billboard numbers and publicly available information. Then he’s got the audacity to end his song by threatening to dig up the dirt. HE SHOULD HAVE SHOWN UP WITH THE SAUCE! This battle is about going after your opponent’s character and rap persona, Ross was locked in on that while drake was shielding himself behind album sales.

[@antoinerandall1166]

Bro this is a strategic thing drake knows what he’s doing he can’t give all the apples in his basket at the wrong time once Kendrick replies and has his receipts drake will prolly counter them and drop the real shit he knows trust

[@Exoticbeerchamps]

Drake is a battle rap fanatic bro really the goat

Drake took long because he had to decide which ghost writer wrote the best disses.

[@ZIKEONTHEMIC]

The whole reason Kendrick made DAMN and these pop features was to show Drake that he could do his lane and still be respected and doing more conscious hip hop. He out did Drake in going commercial during that time.

[@boo1488]

But he didnt out do him tho lol. Drake still out sold. Also this isnt a flex, making a whole album inspired by Drake is not a good look. Its giving obsession

33:39 Meek ditched Rick Ross for Jay Z. Rick Ross responded with the same energy. French is still his boy. I also fully believe Diddy loyalty has something to do with his stance, too. Drake and Diddy have had a cold war for a while.

[@HelloNewWorldPodcast]

How you a big stepper is “Kendrick Lamar and the big steppers” the album . That’s why he said that. Drop and give me 50 cause his label gets half his bread

[@gore1135]

Plot twist: Drake sent cole out to test the waters Cole dipped his toe in and ran back to the car

[@Sameer-d7w]

I feel the leak was intentional. Either because Drake didn’t know if it would be well received or if his ego is too far gone that he thinks they’re actually beneath him. I don’t know which but pride is a strong factor. Leaking is generally, to my understanding, frown upon and if it was a leak, I could see Metro, Future, Kendrick, and Ross using “leaks” to make him insecure. But listening to Drake’s diss a couple of times and seeing this Easter egg video, I can see how it feels like were at game 7 finals with drake up by 3 pts in the last quarter. P.s. The damage is done with Whitney’s name out (why Drake whyyyy lol). I think Kung Fu Kenny is going for the kill 😮

[@EDM-Jigger]

Yeah yeah I might sound good to the untrained ear but me I can hear all the artifacts in it And the off tones that it takes along with the granulation effect that slightly happens to the voice second a lot of people don't really know what the hell they talk about when it comes to AI

[@TexasChick45]

So you think that sht was AI?🤣 I haven't even heard it. I might be curious enough to want to hear Kendrick's response.

[@KExKE]

This is my genuine question for the viewers: what do you guys want out of this beef? Do y’all want exposes or do y’all want it to be “friendly competition”? I’ve been seeing mixed ideas of what people want. It seems like Cole backed out because it was going to get personal, but some people are going “it’s just bars ngga”, while it seems like others want to hear personal, deep, dark secrets that expose someone’s true character or bars going at people’s families/partners etc. This don’t seem very friendly to me.

[@oHawk]

Hey bro not a huge detail but Kendrick ain’t with TDE anymore He got out of it a lil while ago so I think he’s been independent now since Mr Morale. Just thought it was something relevant!

[@JL_Lux]

Future Metro and Rick Ross gotta sit this one out. Metro won’t even a rapper so him telling him to STFU is wild 😂 future and Rick Ross can’t do a versus without a Drake feature.

[@eustass4491]

17:28 also correct me if I’m wrong isn’t future son named prince? Because if so I think drake is petty enough to do that

[@EDM-Jigger]

No metro booming disk actually was clever a lot of people don't know this but in the song like that Metro Boomin sample 3 6 mafia and slow down the sample for the drums and called it a day implying that all he did on the song was take someone else's groove and slow it down In the chubs lines is a disk towards the weekend and how the weekend claimed that he's from the 6th but he's But he's Not in him and Chubbs moved out of the six once they got rich it's kind of obvious that one There's other stuff I want to touch on but honestly it's kind of tedious at this point

[@TheNewDaPhonz]

The extortion baby line is eluding to Kendrick's gang affiliation. He is from Westide Compton Piru. I have heard other people with the take that Kendrick has to pay top 50% which i dont think is the case. If it is the case, it makes no sense for drake to use that, because he literally is paying J Prince, Birdman, lil wayne, and universal records(Republic Records). Extorting rapper's happens in L.A. all the time which is where you get the term "check in". Top Dawg is Bounty Hunter Blood... This is some LA Gang/Hood politics stuff drake is trying to say. Their is a difference between a big homie/OG giving lil homies orders and off-brand niggas being extorted. If you follow all of black hippie's career's in TDE they all do exercises which include push-ups. The drake diss was 🔥, but its not factual when it comes to the "extortion baby" part which is the song's main focus. So therefore its just like J.Cole's diss in regards to saying things that are not facts. I like drake and he is a Goat, the diss was very hard... But i still have Kendrick wiping the floor with drake.

[@TexasChick45]

I just knew he had to be paying J. Prince *something*. He's not tied to Prince out of "the kindness of Prince's heart". 🤣 In essence, Snowflake Drake bring extorted by all those 🥷🏽 himself.
