Drake Deserves The Smoke | It's All Happening w/ Justin Hunte

THANK YOU I’m so sick of people treating Drake like he’s the victim, he incited most of these beefs.

[@chandambao4751]

I don’t think anyone thinks he’s a victim. The culture is against him specifically because he’s not one. The view of him is the ‘unfair winner.’

[@artheals8869]

@@chandambao4751 there are many people that are taking the angle that Drake is being “unreasonably ganged up on” when this is just the pot spilling over.

[@artheals8869]

@@superdupeninja8149 nothing is gonna take Drake out, his fan base doesn’t care about any of this. The only way he could actually be taken out is if there was truly damning accusations levied against him that were proven to be true. I don’t think the team up has to do with trying to take Drake out, I think it’s more so just being petty and piling on him.

Drake mentions other peoples women because he thinks it will hurt their feelings as much as it would hurt him. Because Drake is sensitive about women.

Justin Hunte really loves hip hop!!! He came back to provide clear thinking, on why Drake/Lucien are bad for hip hop. This contribution to the discussion matters!

[@benmwaba2735]

One issue I have with Drake (and Eminem, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj and other rap megastars) is his stardom transcends rap so many of his fans aren't really hip hop fans like that. However, their love for their artist pushes them to have strong voices on aspects of the culture they may not fully appreciate or even understand. I used to think Drake was immune to that mentality but all this fiasco has shown me that he is exhibiting it.

[@isaacdebeila8085]

From day 3 he showed it after what he did to weekend publicly, he showed behind closed doors when he snaked Lil Wayne the guy who built him up. (he slept with Wayne's fiance at the time mind you while Wayne was in jail)

[@Jimmyjones151]

[@ob1shinobi618]

So I’m the #3 Drake hater behind Kendrick and DMX - that being said… push-ups was a great track. I hated the antics around the “leak” but he had some nice jabs. Very solid, I think I gave it like an 8 /10 when I heard it. Euphoria has more of what I want in a song. A lot of people want to make this about who has more tea/gossip. It ain’t about that for me. I loved the energy and the surgical breakdown of Drakes character in Euphoria. The beats were fire, I loved the buildup of the intro. Every time I play the song catch a new layer. Everything from the date he dropped, the bars, the title… there’s so much intention and precision. I loved how Kendrick lists his hates and then says it’s not just me, it’s “we” I’m what the culture feeling. I couldn’t have felt this more. I feel like Drake from outside the culture, he doesn’t respect it, just capitalizes on it. When he said I even hate when you say nigga I went crazy. I have Kendrick up so far. And Finally!!! Ak had the countdown for the Kdot response, I’ve had one for TCM. Good to see you back Justin, love this channel, hope you’ve been well.

[@JihiTheMusicGeek]

I just wanna say this breakdown reminds me of your Future breakdown you did years ago. You singlehandedly changed how I digest and perceive music and I pray one day I can meet you and thank you personally, sir!!!!

[@EayuProuxm]

15:22 Having Taylor Swift lording over 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem and Kendrick is some WILD WORK.

[@rickmarron6775]

I was really happy when I found Rob Markman, his channel, and his thoughts and takes on everything going on, a real important voice for sure. But i gotta be honest, i was looking and waiting on you Company Man! You have always been that source for stylized truth with a razor sharp prospective. You are what I hoped Livingston (AK for all you uninitiated folks) would end up being, but we all know what time it is on that. For now, like everyone else in the comments, I'm just glad you're still here! Salute!

[@TheCompanyMan]

Thank you, Rick.

[@franknoneofya9585]

This was really well put together, informatively and on the presentation. Euphoria is hot on a few levels, you go through 6:16 in LA, meet the Grahams, not like us and Drakes disses. Kendrick had a game plan, well put together and flawlessly executed. Took his rooks, bishops and knights left King ( Lucien Grange) sacrificing his queen, Drake.

[@dannyavila910]

My favorite hip-hop analyst is back! Can’t wait to see your follow up to this video! This battle feels like man vs machine. I’ve always called Drake “the algorithm”, cold and calculated for hit-making, so him being referred to as part of the machine feels appropriate. I’m rooting for Kendrick, the human/artist in this battle, but also happy as a rap fan in general, kicking back with popcorn and enjoying all the responses. Appreciate your journalism, passion for hip-hop, and objectivity.

[@joeymccashland4420]

Always excited for a Justin Hunte video drop. I went to sleep being texted a link to Euphoria (I work overnights), woke up to the news that the DEA is gonna reschedule Cannabis and then a Justin Hunte video drops. What a day. I loved the deep analysis on Drake and his side of things because I’m not invested in learning about him until I need to lol. I was not aware of his deal until watching this. That’s super interesting to me. I’ve long been a fan of Tech N9ne and his independency, so it always kind of astounds me when people still take those type of deals. Speaking of Tech, I felt like that, “Fuck The Industry” line on Euphoria wasn’t meant as a reference but it made me smile as a Technician either way 😝. The whole track is just bananas but for me personally the craziest part is that for the first time in his whole career, I’m anxious to hear Drakes next release. I don’t know what the hell he can even say, but I think it’s just incredible that Kendrick actually has me wanting to hear the next Drake song 😂😂😂. I’ve been sitting here listening to classic Beef tracks. (Which I suspect Kendrick might have done before releasing this, it definitely feels like he took careful steps to not make the mistakes others have made but also took best ideas from the best songs), I had to go with Ether first and the themes of the attacks feel very similar on certain bars. I’d love to hear this rumored 17 minute version but I went and listened to 300 Bars and Runnin again and see why he probably feels a diss doesn’t need to be that long. I love 300 bars but it’s definitely not as focused as a shorter song would have been and ends up having too many references to feel wholly original. In closing, as always I loved your analysis Justin, I look forward to a full breakdown of Euphoria, but it’s good to see you back on KZbin, we have missed you over here ❤
