[@normandy2501]

Everyone was waiting for Kendrick and Drake to go at it for almost a decade now after all the sneak dissing. All because Drake got in his feelings over Kendrick's Control verse calling him out by name as friendly competition. It's a general agreement that hip-hop is a sport, but Drake was never really for the culture like that. Kendrick was battle rapping on the streets since he was a teen and called him (and his ghost writers) out to take it to a stage. Seeing them really battle in person on a platform like Smack URL would definitely show who's pen is really like that to those who didn't already know by now. Certain connections that may seem like a stretch are actually common in battle rap arenas where they pull from layers upon layers of information. Daylyt, someone who also wrote for Drake (you're best work is a Lyt pack), is one of those guys you'd need an encyclopedia to catch his references if you weren't caught up.

Literal hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby situation.

[@originalscreenname44]

The funniest thing about all this is Drake literally got a taste of his own medicine. "Not Like Us" is the equivalent to Drake's "Back to Back" where he had people shouting "Is that a world tour or your girl's tour" in the club.

[@TOKYO_SLIME]

The third funniest thing about this scenario is that Drake was probably rapping the hardest he has ever rapped before in his career in ‘Family Matters’, only for it to get stepped on by Kdot 20 minutes later in ‘Meet the Grahams’. 😂😂😂 A whole video rollout, crushing the GKMC van, and coming with the hardest bars of your career (probably not written by him tho) ALL to get obliterated. Dot really slipped the jab and hit him back with a cross. 💀

I think it's also worth noting that in Euphoria and 6:16, Kendrick warned him that Drake doesn't want to throw down. Also, the allegations Drake made against Kendrick: Kendrick himself confessed to is in "Mister Morale" Kendrick mentions he hit his girl once and felt shame. Kendrick also says that he went to counseling/therapy for his generational trauma because his girl was going to leave him. He sacrificed his ego for his family. That's why in "Meet The Grahams" Dot tells Drake I warned you, go listen to Mister Morale again because you missed the point. In fact, it's all about wanting to be a better man, but you're so narcissistic, you missed the point" Outside of that Doug Free thing, even if it's true, it means Kendrick is truly Piccolo. He ain't the stepdad, his the dad who stepped up.

[@Sanodi21]

All I know so far of the Kendrick and Drake stuff is that Drake's first diss blew up in his face because he pulled the AI card with Tupac of all people and damaged his cred more than Kendrick's because he admitted to lying about some stuff

@@MrSkerpentine Yeah the estate is clearly okay with his image being used considering the hologram Tupac thing. Just not without permission.

As someone from Toronto, what they're talking about the Toronto accent sounds a lot more like the Scarborough accent. Shit like 'ey bombaclot' its all a faux jamacian accent that came from Scarborough's immigrant population being a lot from the tropics. Though to clarify, Scarborough is a (large) part of Toronto, so it'd be like specifying its more a Brooklyn accent. A 'Torontonian' accent would be very.. 'over enunciated trying to not have an accent'. Drake himself is a rich shitlord from one of Toronto's most affluent neighbourhoods, and he's always been a joke among my family, because my family knew his when he was younger and his early shit was about growing up like he was an impoverished and downtrodden poor boy. But like Pat said, everyone in Canada knew him as the wheelchair kid from Degrassi, the absolute peak of 'upper middle class prep'.

[@SolidSnake240]

That was Kendrick's whole point and angle of attack on Drake. People tried to call K Dot racist but it was never about Drake not being black, it's his cultural upbringing that causes a disconnect between him and the greater black community. We saw this on full display throughout this battle.

[@damiand6818]

@@SolidSnake240 Absolutely, and its kind of.. I suppose cathartic would be the right word- that he is being called out on the fact that the only connection he has with the greater black community is his skin tone, which he has used as effectively a marketing gimmick. There's issues of its own with how 'white' especially Canadian upperclass culture is, which meant he was kind of destined to be tokenized, but he took full advantage of it in a way that only played on/reinforced the sterotypes of blacks being all poor/from the hood.

"And everyone gets that except Drake" legitimately, before someone showed me interviews where Drake's catty about it, I didn't even think Control could be the original jumping off point for all this because the meaning of the song is so blatantly obvious that you'd have to be an actual child to think it's a threat or a sign of disrespect. Like, Aubrey, I _know_ you've seen Dragonball. They aired that shit on YTV after school for over a decade and you are barely older than me. You know what a Vegeta is. You're mad to have Kendrick fucking Lamar of all people as your Vegeta?! Even if your music were good enough for you to be rap's Goku, that fact alone would disqualify you from the throne.
