A fundamental fact about all this is we know absolutely nothing about Aubrey. Kendrick has had so many people vouching for him and validating his character his whole career.

[@hithere99100]

Ish acting like most of Drake disses weren't aimed at Whitney is hilarious...Drake said Kendrick was small with little feet and finally got around to saying he is a wife beater. Kendrick put out a EP on how to kill a man in multiple styles of rap.

kendrick made an entire diss based off lies but i guess that doesnt count when you suck so much dik, a wife beater giving parenting advice, cool song

[@christopherhaynes8101]

My ex explained this to me , Drake’s primary audience is women. So his choice of words and insults are more geared to hit with women. Your short, somebody taking your girl , those are insults that hit with women and his base. Kendrick doesn’t necessarily cater to his base because it’s a bit more mixed. Therefore his insults have to be more robust vs Aubrey, who could use more cosmetic disses. Nigga said he hate everything about you in the first song and that you should die in the next . I might not agree but those are insults aimed with a different level of aggression (even when presented artistically)

He warn drake and he didn't listen. Then end the battle with a club diss to let drake know he's a versatile artist as wel.

Let’s not forget he warned us on the heart part 4 and euphoria he said “you gon tell a lie about me, I don’t tell the truth bout you💯

[@brand1kzn]

What Ish is saying is true. What he doesn't realize is that his point ends up going against him especially in the case of Drake because just like we know he is not the biggest Kendrick Lamar fan, we all expect him to be more on Drake's side. So just like Kendrick being "a good guy", it's more difficult for us to believe the allegations opposed to Drake loving to be "the bad guy" and thrives by being the villain. We will most likely go with whatever image the person portrays. The biggest draw here I believe is that since Drake is known to be the bigger/better artist his crowd should have easily come to his defense a lot more aggressively than they did. If not at least make people doubt Kendrick. But the "lies" told on him swayed even his bigger following which shows how much more believable Kendrick is. The line "the audience not dumb" meant a lot more than people realize. And if we are gonna be "dumb" it's only natural to go with the most reliable source of lies. It's human nature.

Milli Vanilli Vs. Machiavelli If you're failing to see the depth of Kendrick's lyrics that's a self-report not a fact. Listen to Euphoria or Not Like Us a couple dozen more times and realize all the things you're still catching for the first time. Shit has L A Y E R S. If you just like fluff and you don't like getting into it that's fine go dance in the corner or whatever. The rest of us over here doing an autopsy You're arguing about how good they appeal on first and second listens. For Drake that's all you'll ever get. For Kendrick that's just the moment you spot the iceberg

This is why people don’t care about truth as much with Kendrick as they do with Drake, and I’m going to use a metaphor. Kendrick, unlike Drake, is excellent at making up a “based on a true story” story. When you watch the play “Hamilton”, you love the story, and know that it’s based on a true story, but not 100% true. It’s been dramatized for effect. You would roll your eyes at someone who said “But it’s not 100% real!!” That is what Kendrick did with Drake; he made a story of Drake that is ‘based on a true story’ where there is a lottt of truth, and probably some not true things as well. But the story is so compelling to us, and the claims are so believable, that we are willing to suspend disbelief. That’s why Kendrick won with this song and with his disses in general.

Where Euphoria, 6:16 and Not Like Us are like hack n slash movies, MTG was like a evil dr. dissecting someone on an operating table while they're wide awake. Straight up precise disaection of Drake's character and he could do nothing but sit back and watch in horror

Idk why theyre having such am argument over the daughter thing when theres much more serious allegations in that songs. But the reason why the daughter thing is more believable is because drake already hid a kid before. Drake doesnt have any past stuff to back up his allegations about kendrick.

[@ItsRicheRich]

The part that ish was missing is that if you got exposed for hiding a child before then it is believable that it may be true again since it was actually true before. Drake has video footage of looking like a creep towards underage girls. However making up something that we've never seen before or anything close (similar) to it is entirely different & harder to believe.

[@anddickson]

He wasn’t hiding a son. The mother had come to him with the child , they were investigating doing dna test to get proof, a girl sleeping with someone on Drakes camp leaked it to Pusha T and Pusha went public with it .

[@bluecafe509]

Hiding a kid from you?? How are his kids your business?

[@JamieMarks-so9ns]

​@bluecafe509 it's the fact that he was ashamed of the woman HE chose to sleep with and rather than facing the consequences of his life he was gonna damn his child to a life of fatherlessness to protect himself like a coward

[@samihtameez8584]

@@JamieMarks-so9ns He was going to revealk him on the adiddas line, but Kanye outted him before that. If he really wanted to hide the kid, nobody would know about it. He wold sign him up for adoption and not tell anyone. Kanye and pusha both just used that as a way to take him down

[@JamieMarks-so9ns]

[@westerngroovetv]

Chill.. Kendrick can still lose. I don't fw drake. But I think he can come back. Just hear me out before you go crazy.. At this point drake can't try to out rap Kendrick.. or double down on domestic violence or Kendrick kid.. if he does that Kendrick will respond and bury him again bc he's just a better artist. I don't think Drake quit. I think he just retreated to fight again. Drake has to come out with something crazy.. I'm talking like, get Kendrick girl in the music video or something. Part of the song got the video of them lying to Kendrick giving him the fake info. If he does that drake would have taken the lead. Ak has eluded to drake dropping again. And so has mal. 2 ppl in contact with drake. So I'm not thinking the battle is over. If you ask me, Drake wrote the heart part 6 which is why it was mid. He needs more time for his ghost writers to write a few more songs. And then he's gonna spark it back up. Full songs dedicated to Kendrick. They cookin up right now. But like I said, he has to drop a bomb. He already dropped his nuke and it didn't work. So he has to do something beyond music. Drop a voice recording of Dave free saying he hit Kendrick girl. Something. But it ain't over yet.
