Drake just released a 7 minute banger but I really cannot wait for Kendrick’s response holy shit Drake is gonna get fucking bodied so hard

https://youtu.be/ZkXG3ZrXlbc?si=VW9q0asclqF9t7w6 Drake’s response cw: mentions of domestic violence

I think crushing the GKMC truck is kinda corny and too on the nose, but props to Drake for putting out a response so quickly, this is probably the hardest I’ve ever heard Drake go honestly who knows if it was ghost written or AI but it’s genuinely impressive coming from him. Drake also claims Kendrick abused his wife? This isn’t good, but he needs to show receipts because he could just be talking shit, the same way he claims one of his kids is someone else’s which, who cares but he’s releasing really sensitive info which may or may not hold weight. Kendrick’s response will be so fucking powerful after these claims though, he already dropped two perfect diss tracks, the second he released today which was pulling his punches, but after this it’s straight up warfare

Edit: Kendrick responded an hour later I need time to process this response

      Yeah all Drake has is commerical success. Which no one who takes music seriously cares about in determining the quality of someone’s work. Many mediocre artists are commercially successful. Taylor Swift is the most commercially successful artist right now, despite her latest album having some pretty horrific lyrics. Beyoncé is commercially successful because she has a whole team behind her to engineer her music, like most pop stars. Drake is the most commercially successful rapper even though most of his shit sounds like fake tough guy poser talk and is very clearly ghostwritten.

      No one really cares about that. Abbey Road by the Beatles is remembered as one of the best albums ever made, even though it did not win the Grammy that year. No one alive today is going to say that whatever album that won the Grammy in 1970 is better than Abbey Road.

        The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all time are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all time. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics, instead, are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers.

        Drake never claimed his music is superior though. He only bragged about his wealth and consistent drops. Kendrick really only bragged about his music compared to J Cole. Kendrick’s beef against Drake is against him as a human being, not his music. He also has a problem against Drake’s artistry because he believes he disrespects black culture for profit.

        It’s weird that people keep talking about musical quality because it shows they’re not paying attention to what’s going on. It’s only about music between select individuals in the beef (e.g. Metro and Drake, Kendrick and Cole, Kanye and Drake, Drake and Ross)

        That being said I find Kendrick’s disses to be boring or straight terrible, musically. He needs to switch up his style

      has there been a single second in drake’s career where he has been anything other than a laughing stock?

      This is such a bizarre out of touch comment lol. He’s a sleazy pedophile who steals from other artists, but that really doesn’t matter because he is consistently in the top charts with millions of fans and hundred million dollar contracts. He’s a laughing stock with his lyrics, sure, but you’re acting like his image is a universal one
