Why Childish Gambino HATES Drake (Documentary)

After the massive beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, Future, The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, (maybe) Travis Scott, Rick Ross, Soulja Boy and more, it seemed like Drake might finally get a break from all the rappers disses for just a bit.
But that thought was wrong as Childish Gambino recently had a diss for Drake on his new album, and their beef actually dates back several years.
In this video, we will unpack the entire relationship between Drake and Childish Gambino, all the dissing that occurred (even the almost disses like Donald Glover's hit song 'This Is America' or the potential disses in his hit TV series 'Atlanta), and why the two probably do not like each other.

[@Yung.Ert.]

I mean his child has a mother. He’s not single handedly naming his kid. Who seemingly has nothing to do w this hip hop shit. Maybe she just liked the name. I don’t think he named his son Drake in any way to reference the rapper. I really like the name Della. If I had a friend or enemy named Della and my wife and I liked the name Della, that won’t stop me from naming my child what I want. CG seemingly isn’t the type of dude to weird name a whole human after someone he doesn’t even like that much.

You missed a critical point with the "HAM" dis. In the Bible, Ham was considered to be the father of the Black race, hence the term "Hamites" or "Hamitic", while Shem was the father of the Semitic race. Jews are Semites. But also consider that Kendrick Lamar identifies as an Israelite.

It's been said but it really drove me nuts black and African American are not interchangeable. Drake is Canadian. Black and Jewish Canadian. While African American sounds like it's used as a politically correct term for black, it's not, and only makes sense to use in reference to black people from the United States. I wouldn't really drive this point hard normally, but it's a crucial part of people's issues with Drake

“The dangers of racism”… I lived in the hood in LA. And Donald Glover grew up as an army brat in a cookie cutter household in the beautiful suburbs. Drake grew up in a rich Toronto neighborhood. I dare Donald or this creator to go walk around Compton or South Central for a day with no security. I guarantee “racism” isn’t the danger you’ll see or find. Not the kind he’s referring to anyways.

The battle aside I think some of the worst takes of Drake is that people say it’s formula one sided and bad for you I get the comparison of saying it’s like McDonald’s because of drakes status but overall, I think people couldn’t be more wrong even when most def said what he said, I feel like he was way off basis because if you truly listen to a lot of Drake’s music, he has deeper cuts other than his commercial successful stuff And he does give you self reflection and a lot of his music from his point of view and life Enclosing I hate that hip-hop in general weaponizes someone’s success and diversity when being different is what made hip-hop what it is in the first place.
