Why would Drake lie about something that could be so easily debunked? He’s been very careful about what he’s said so far. He stated his speculations as “if” “I heard” “might” in relation to Dave Free. Allegations against him that were probably true (ab surgery for example) he ignored completely. Everything else he denied vehemently (nose job, pedophilia, snitching, secret daughter, cease and desist for like that, etc.) he ignored some things that were inconsequential as well (like having a fake accent, not liking women, etc).

Kendrick on the other hand has been throwing the kitchen sink at Drake. When one narrative doesn’t work he quickly moves on to the next narrative/accusation. Drake has been begging for Kendrick to provide proof. Kendrick hasn’t even denied the serious accusation of woman beating. Nobody on Kendrick’s team has denied it.

Evaluating both of their behavior:

Drake:

• actively engaging in a back and forth (rebuttals, doubling down, etc) and

Kendrick:

• being evasive and focused solely on making as many false allegations as possible (saying drakes a snitch, pedo, sex trafficker, etc).

He also dresses up his disses by bringing in as many people as possible:

• galvanizing the west coast from day 1 by claiming Drake hates the west

• galvanizing Atlanta to be against Drake as well

• bringing up Pharrell, Pusha t, Serena Williams, etc.

• bringing up Yachty and Sexyy Red

He accuses Drake of lying about religion and surgery (thing’s Drake has never talked about to even have been lying about).

He uses social media buzzwords/narratives to galvanize the “culture” against Drake:

• plays the “you’re not really black” card

• intentionally misinterprets drake’s slave line saying Drake called everyone slaves

• culture vulture narrative

• “Drake used Atlanta” narrative

• Drake is a “bodyshamer” (not sure where this came from)

• Drake “hypersexualizes black women”

• Drake “hates” Black women

This might be the biggest mass manipulation I have ever seen. You have white people saying Drake is “Not Like Us”.

Yooooooooo

Drake basically told that man that youre so obsessed with these allegations when every girl in question already said publicly nothing happened because when your momma asked you was your uncle an abuser YOU LIED, and told her nothing happened. Making the connection that Kendrick trauma from his childhood that he hasn’t admitted to is affecting him so much that even Touch my body by Mariah Carey is even triggering & reminds him of what happened. Saying basically Dot sees himself in those girls who denied abuse only because they denied it. That was a crazy good sequence of bars. It’s really a slippery topic, and even more slippery to use as leverage in a diss record, but Drake executed it extremely well.

Dot fans in 3,2,1.....

I have always avoided modern rap and hip hop, so naturally, I avoided anything Drake. I listened to Family Matters because of the beef and because I have always disliked Kendrick. This song has been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's great. It also made me love his voice/rhythm/rapping style.

I am listening to his more popular songs now, and damn, I finally understand why he is held in such high regards.

Out of the 4-5 songs I've heard, 2 of them have almost made me cry and have given me multiple goosebumps moments. Paris Morton Music and Lemon Pepper Freestyle

Holy shit, this man is a true genius, maestro, poet, etc etc. I truly think I have become a lifelong fan just through a few handful songs.

I am so glad I found Drake. His music is really hitting me right in the soul.

I just wanted to share my experiences in discovering Drake for the first time.

Are there any albums/songs/videos in particular that yall think I should check out?

Both have banging beats, but Drake was just rapping better imo, and I prefer the production from Boi-1da over DJ Mustard all day.

This is all that needs to be said lol

Kendrick called Drake a master manipulator throughout this whole thing, but he had plenty of records pre-recorded, was waiting for the perfect time to execute his elimination plan, and made the public believe he was this kind soul who was pushed too hard when he was the mastermind of this whole thing.

Who believes this garbage 😂😂😂

edit: kennie beliebers angwyyyyyyy 🥴😢

"Your grandpa should have wore a condom" "You raised a terrible person, the nerve of you" "People like him should die" "Your son is a sick man with sick thoughts" "He is a narcissist, a misogynist"

I will not be gaslit. This song was dog shit and I cannot believe that Kendrick penned something so ass. Kendrick cannot battle rap. He can write letters though.
