And there’s still nothing suggesting he did beat anyone aside from a single staff member that even tabloids didn’t find too credible and evidence that he was in the building. When people are revealed as domestic abusers, there tends to be a visible track record of them being aggressive or there being mysterious bruises on their spouse, stuff like that. Kendrick doesn’t have any of that. I mean hell, Drake’s wording made it clear he doesn’t even know if it’s true. “IF you hit her….” That’s nothing compared to the guy who’s known for having a hidden kid and being weird with underage girls/barely legal girls he’s been “friends” with for years.

Crazy thing about that deal is that it's worth "as much as $400m", which means the 400 was a hard cap on his potential earnings. Hence why K Dot asked what his percentages were. I guarantee they duped Aubrey into putting his percentages on sliding scale. 😂 No way he sees 400 off that now.

I don’t think Drake’s career is “over” but his reputation is permanently damaged for sure. He still has Stans who won’t admit that he was bodied by Kendrick and a lot of Drake’s fans don’t really listen to hip-hop so they probably didn’t follow the back and forth of the diss tracks. It seems like day by day the accusations Drake threw at Kendrick are falling apart as well; while the riddler is on twitter showing that Drake didn’t “set up” fake intel for Kendrick, pretty certain Drake is hiding a daughter too. He should def be forced to take a paternity test because he denied having a son at first too. The idea that Drake fed Kendrick damaging information without having any proof or receipts whatsoever, it’s laughable and the fact that Kendrick had Meet the Grahams ready as a response to Family Matters makes it pretty clear that OVO had/has a leaker who at the very least, let Kendrick know the angle Drake was coming from in his track, allowing Kendrick to drop Meet the Grahams immediately after with lines directly addressing what Drake said.

The timing and precision of these releases was surgical, and he still kept it surface-level at first and fired several warning shots. 6.16 was like an emotional and spiritual perparation for what he knew was going to be a brutal, ugly war that he felt conflicted about, but both FM and MTG were ready to drop at that point. He was waiting for Drake's move, the arrogant celebrity boy took it there, and just as promised KDot ripped his fake persona apart.

I haven’t seen a more decisive victory since Levi took down the beast titan.

[@SoCalClip]

One of the best videos describing the beef 🔥🫡 you’re spot on! Respect my guy!

[@GaryTornado-zy2mz]

Nice narrative more please

[@idieilik1069]

You can’t fake the funk. Drake played himself.

[@Novakboi]

Absolutely killed this video. Amazing summary and explanation of how the beef started and what it manifested into.

[@DonMyrda]

Drake just a glamorized hatin ass homeboy.

[@suniltikaram3070]

Drizzy's ghost writer said "I'm out"

[@LeahTargaryen]

Subbed! Love this breakdown from someone far outside the hip hop/ rap community

[@animeloverhaven]

The internet to Jcole: Perhaps I judged you too harshly

[@willps_art]

It's like Shakespeare vs 50 shades of grey tho.

[@youngcoconut1781]

Solid analysis! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@MHHM97]

Despicable and downright heinous 😂😂😂 Lol

[@twentyfifthjt7888]

How Kendrick beat Drake: "Wop wop wop wop wop..I'mma do my stuff."

[@dontask3613]

I think you missed about like that, Your best work a "Lytpack" For all his dogs getting buried Theres a K with all those 9s He gonna see pet semetery I mean he really went in on drake on like that, everyone paid attention to the big 3 thing because Jcole responded first. I think it shows that kendrick WANTED this to happen, he has been waiting a decade for this moment and didnt waste his chance.

[@gunbunnyjunk7881]

And the dumb thing about this all? Drake was warned years ago not to portray something he is not... by Lil Wayne. Him running away from Pusha T should've been an indication. But it really makes me wonder why he thought it was a good idea to go up against Kendrick.

[@EvonneLindiwe]

Like president Obama Said, drake is an entertainer. Kendrick is the culture. Kendrick said he doesn’t mind Drake being an entertainer but REALLY takes issue with him cosplaying as a hardcore rapper & and throwing jabs at him. It’s an identity issue more than just personal insults.

[@Impericalevidence]

Bro, you got bbl doctors making tiktoks in the operating room. It's over, you lost, and if you didn't just walk away before someone gets hurt.

[@kingjcreepy3226]

MF THE BIG THREE 🥷🏾 ITS JUST BIG ME🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@franciscoafonso7480]

In summary: Drake is a pop star. Kendrick is a true rapper (and one of the greatest of all time)

[@joshuabowen6919]

I don't were lucky enough for this to end BBL Drizzy career

[@Sealab1985]

It was nice to see K• take down Drake and his 👻 ✍️

[@emmanuelmondesir8677]

Drake could have a longer career if he could simply accept that he was never going to be the king.

[@majumder456]

Fr he’s barely a hip hop artist

[@Lagger_94]

The moment meet the grahams dropped, I could watch those reactions 1000 times

[@andyshepard2780]

Thank you so much for this video, super informative! Short question for accessibility: Could you write the lyrics on screen when you play the snippet of the song? I don't have a good ear for rap lyrics as a non-English native speaker. Thank you! 🙏

[@RoBoTNiKaa]

Drake and Cole basically tried to end Kendrick, WTF were they thinking 🤔

[@e-duh3529]

I'd say Cole just threw a jab and then realized what'd be coming in time to step away from this. Drake dug his own grave

[@nikumimito3164]

@@e-duh3529 They didn't know Kendrick was the first person shooter

[@alexanderlopez4527]

Nobody wants to hear j.cole say he's #1. Backed down from competition regardless of situation. Hip-hop at its absolute core, is competition.

[@mariokarter13]

Drake had two diss tracks chart on the Hot 100. Both failed to outchart Like That.

[@desmondsantiago2399]

My Guy drake is not a rapper he just sings and has ghost writers. Kendrick has everything that you qualify a lyrical genius for. I wouldn’t even put them in the same boat or even the same ocean.

[@darrenphillips2188]

Every Drake song exactly sound the same.

[@nikumimito3164]

Exactly, look how many different flows Kendrick used in the battle, dude can switch it up like no other artist.

[@myra-yves]

drake is sooooo mediocre, how can you even listen to him knowing his cringe ass persona

[@MsLadidy]

Who is beefing with a Pulitzer Prize winner??!!!

[@hot-soup7830]

Beautiful review ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@patrickkoh1308]

I just clicked on this video because I'm a kendrick fanboy but hey- this was really well produced! Best of luck to you and I'm sure you'll continue to grow.

[@hun34rd27]

Drake rapped his ass off sadly it was a battle he was never gonna win.

[@77_ACE.]

His rapping was weak bro. "You rapping like trying to get slaves free" drake exposed his limited skills even more on heart part 6, listen to some actual lyricist during battles, drake was awful

[@bluepirate04]

​@@77_ACE.Sounds like you hate him bruh

[@thomashightower7881]

​@@77_ACE.I've heard worse. Didn't hold a candle to KDot's lyrics anyways (even with all the ghostwriters). It was inconsistent: for every half decent bar, he'd say something corny or cliche.

[@ebnest123]

Stop making excuses, Kendrick cooked Drake up

[@SKYBL0SS0M]

​@@ebnest123 nah, he's right. this battle gave us the best rapping that Drake has ever done. i don't think i've heard Drake rap the way he rapped ever. but this being his best saying something considering Kendrick's talent w/ his pen.

[@frankvuong1080]

Meet the Grahams is the most disrespectful diss track i have ever heard in my life. When Kendrick dropped that track, right then and there, he became the straight up the GOAT.

[@tylerd132]

Drake fans are really making all kind of excuses right now. It’s sad. They worship a false idol and he fell get over it

[@edwingoodson8820]

To the point where Drake moving out of the US I heard💀💀

"Keep it Canadian!"- Lil Wayne to BBL

[@GorataNemaorani]

A fair and sound analysis of the rap battle. This was amazing because Rap is a sport but a psychological one. A well deserved win for Mr. Morale (Kendrick) I will never forget

[@KolkhozWoman]

I didn't even know Drake had actual fans. I thought he was famous for summer hits and that's it. Pool music. Or yacht if you're rich.

[@Inside4Walls2.0]

I take back 0 criticism of Cole. He kicked the bees nest and played chicken. Nah. Dot should have dissed him twice. 2 For flinching.

[@starkilla102]

What? He wanted a friendly fade between them lmao.. blame drake for being a bitch in his feels and taking it to far. He made the smart move by saying he doesnt wanna go that deep with both of them.

[@UltraX34]

This is dumb. J cole just wanted to rap at him, Kendrick and Schoolboy told him what was really going on and that why he backed out

[@GlobnarTheGreen]

Nah he didn't know what he was getting into and when he realized he dipped.

[@demiayan7779]

He still took light shots at cole on euphoria 😂. But after that he was focused on destroying drake but I agree. He should have fought
