[@blackbird_entropy]

What angers me in particular about this lawsuit is that it's so obvious it only happened because Kendrick beat Drake at his own game. Kendrick wrote a club banger that broke Drake's records and that is unfathomable to Drizzy. He doesn't give a fuck about the smaller artists (or those who don't get special treatment from their labels). He doesn't care about the malpractices in the music or streaming industry. He wants to be special and at the top because being no.1 is the only thing he thought was his thing. He is once again being incredibly inauthentic and exploitative. Drake's ego was so badly damaged not by the content of MTG, Euphoria or Not Like Us but by the success on the charts. That's so telling of his character and one could write a whole disstrack on that alone. Again, It's so fucked up to me that one of the biggest artists of our time with this much power in the industry isn't looking out for his peers, or even those signed to his own label, but only cares about that tweet declaring him and him alone king.

I watched Degrassi *religiously* as a teen and when Drake came out with his first album, I was stoked for him. I didn't really listen to his music a whole lot but nonetheless thought it was cool to see someone from my favorite show "making it". Then he came out with "Started From The Bottom" and my flasts were gabbered at how unbelievably corny that shit was. I'm sitting there remembering when The N did a "Teen Cribs" with stars from different shows on the channel. Aubrey was one of them. His mom's house was huge! They had a big ass inground pool, and in the basement of the house, he had a movie theater, a giant pool table, arcade games, and he even had his own recording studio. Like bro if you started from the bottom where the hell are we at? 😭 Ever since that song came out I've changed the lyrics and always sing it the same: "Started from Degrassi, now we here, started from Degrassi in a fuckin wheelchar" 😂

Botting is definitely a real thing happening in the industry. I remember when Tommy Richman's Million Dollar Baby had just come out, I listened to it on Spotify maybe once or twice, but it suddenly started showing up in all my playlists, it would play after every 3 or 4 songs no matter how many times I skipped it and it drove me crazy. Same thing happened with Billie Eilish's Lunch; it got to a point where I had to hide those songs because I felt like I was being harassed by them! I didn't experience that with Not Like Us, every time I listen to that song it's very intentional or makes sense for the playlist it's in. Not saying that it's not possible though, I don't put anything past the music industry but I think what boosted NLU's popularity was KZbin, the free copyright thing had everybody and their moms reacting to the beef and I was tuned in.

I never thought I’d see the day where Drake needs to use Kendrick to stay relevant. Not ONCE has Kendrick mentioned Drake or any of the beef ever since Not Like Us. Hell, when he was INTERVIEWED about Not Like Us, he gave it a whole new meaning and pushed the Drake beef aside, not even ONCE saying the man’s name or hinting towards the beef. He’s moved on entirely, And yet he’s still, as per usual, at the top of the game, breaking every record there is to break all while having fun with his people in LA and not riding anyone else’s fame. Meanwhile, literally, I have heard ZERO Drake tracks for the past few months; not even his new ones have charted (or so I’ve heard). But every single time Drake has trended lately, it’s been something about Kendrick and/or him whining and complaining about losing to Kenny, even though Drake claims to be “unbothered” by this whole beef (he’s so unbothered that he made, like, three instagram posts about being unbothered by the beef and even told his friends, such as Lil Yachty, to go and tell interviewers that “Drake doesn’t give a fuck”). And to top it ALL OFF, he’s now suing Kendrick’s label, UMG, and Spotify for apparently using “bots” to make Kendrick’s music famous. What does all of this result in? More attention directed towards the very desperate Drake while Kendrick is in the spotlight of the fucking PLANET. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the all-new Kendrick Stimulus Package™️.

If Drake is threatening to take legal action because of defamation, after saying in THP6 that he tricked Kendrick into saying he's a sex offender, wouldn't that mean Drake was lying throughout the entire discourse making him liable of fraud as well? Drake claimed Kendrick fell for his trap in THP6 meaning he actively lied to Kendrick, making the allegations false according to him. Not like Us was released before THP6 so it would be a product of Drake manipulation. Saying Not Like Us is defamation wouldn't be like trying to defend yourself for taunting other to attack you? He would have literally told Kendrick to say Drake is a sex offender and then try to take legal action on that, it's like buying a gun, shooting your own foot, and then trying to sue the gun vendor. Makes no sense.

beyond the sad behavior of filing a lawsuit over losing a rap beef (against a guy who is a much better rapper than you, like, *much* better, and the beef being a candle fire you more or less poured gasoline onto), what makes me most irritated by this suit is the fact that some of these anti-industry and independent artist tactics are only going to be challenged by a guy who had no issue taking part in these tactics when they directly benefited him. like if drake had just made a suit against UMG ages ago after seeing the shady shit they did to promote him and other larger artists, it would have been a real cool move. him doing it now just tosses a spotlight onto how shallow he is
