I haven’t checked out Drake, because I know I wouldn’t like his constant disrespect of women and female teens.

I'm sure other people did as well. But it makes no sense to come on a totally different video a month later talking about how dope the Family Matters video was bro. It's ok man. You're a Drake fan.

[@joeldeleon292]

​@@TheDifferenceCHI Crazy we're still debating this under a Rob Markman video when my nigga doesn't partake in the gossip aspects of this beef but I'm gonna outline the difference for you: allegations from one party has a lot of circumstantial evidence at varying points in their career that lend credence to the angles, while the other party's does not. I fw both heavy and have listened to Drake more than I have Dot in my life, but he was grasping at straws. He should've stayed on his bully angle where he could've stated aside from numbers, the actual SOUND of hip-hop has been shaped by him and he's not only the more influential artist, but he put on artists who otherwise wouldn't have been successful without him. Instead, he decided to attack the man's wife and take talking points from Twitter being the chronically online person that he is. I still don't understand how someone as successful as him lost confidence in the initial stance he had taken at the start of the beef. In his own words, "A wise man once said nothing at all", yet he went on to defend such accusations. The Pusha beef really made him think that we care about gossip when in actuality, it was the start of a deconstruction of Drake's character which Dot ended up concluding. Drake gon' be alright in the end though, (assuming there's no truth to Dot's allegations).

Your not reaching with the “are you my friend..are we locked in?” Kendrick did say in euphoria “I hate the way you sneak diss” Drake has been dissing Kendrick for years but in a way that only Kendrick will know.

[@KidTeddi]

I agree that having Whitney and the kids wasn’t necessarily NEEDED, but they’ve been included when it matters and makes sense (Whitney narrating on Mr Morale, the family on the cover of Mr Morale, Whitney cameo-ing in the Count Me Out video). It wasn’t needed, but it fits the purpose of the video and honestly, it was one of my favorite parts, along with seeing Dave Free pop out haha

[@RobMarkman]

For sure. I just hope, if it’s Whitney’s wish to go back to being out of the spotlight that she can do that.

[@KidTeddi]

@@RobMarkman Agreed.

[@eliyannah]

@KidTeddi, me too! Absolutely one of my favorite parts. For me, one of the most important things about Whitney being there walking on Drake is that it’s HER chance to respond to him. Not only did he accuse her of having a child with her man’s best friend but she also may have been disgusted by Drake telling the world she’s being abused and then making fun of the abuse. He said her name in THREE of his songs. Because he treated “her abuse” like it was a joke, so did all of his obsessed fans. Drake made her public in a way she’s never been before. I would’ve wanted to walk him down too!!! That’s why I loved that even though the whole family danced, Kendrick also sat on the couch for Whitney to have her own moment of retribution. Her own “keep MY name out your mouth” 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Good catch

[@Watchangiewrk]

When Ken said that he learned that people don’t like the West Coast and when you hear West Coast people coming and saying certain things. It definitely has validity, especially when it’s coming from someone from California( WE KNOW). Our music does not get the same love that southern New York gets that’s a fact. Producers say the beats they sell the least are the West Coast ones. Our music is not highlighted in the same fashion. I travel all around the world I have to go and ask the DJ to play certain Cali songs. I always get the stink face. So we don’t literally mean people do not like us, but our sound is not received the way other sounds are received and that’s not a lie. That’s what they mean by that

[@RobMarkman]

Well certainly, Kendrick, Roddy, YG… damn near anything Mustard produces gets play in NY. It’s true more of the upcoming, or more local artists don’t, like Blue Bucks, Greedo- that hasn’t reached here yet. But it’s the same way; a lot of the local NY artists don’t get played in Cali or ATL (think groups like 41) … but that’s just my perspective

I hope this isnt a rerun of the Alright video and that we actually get to hear the entire song that was previewed 😂 I also read (on Genius annotation) that his upcoming album will be called Mr. Get Off, but I’m not sure if there’s any confirmation to that alleged title

[@CraccCobain]

Dot and YG spoke on Tam’s often

[@RobMarkman]

For sure

[@melhayes204]

I be hanging out at Tams! I be on Stockton!

Deep cut reference, notice how in the cell where Kendrick is doing push ups he has a picture off the wall on the floor, in Push Ups Drake claims they have his picture on the wall while they cook up music, Kendrick dismisses this with an unseen canvas on turned around, ignored lol
