Has anyone else been following this? I started paying attention when Kendrick Lamar dropped a diss verse on Drake in Future's new album, "We don't trust you".
There's been a flurry of rappers dropping diss tracks against Drake these past few weeks which include Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky etc.
But this Kendrick vs Drake thing has been one of the most entertaining things in hip-hop in a long time. These dudes are getting real, real personal. Haven't seen something like this since pac vs biggie and even that wasn't this drawn out and personal. These guys are trying to end each other's careers. Pedo accusations, molestation accusations, accusations of hidden children...shit is wild.
I'll do my best to list the tracks and the subsequent reaction tracks in chronological order, focusing on Drake vs Kendrick:
Kendrick has murdered him like most folks thought he would. 'Euphoria' was an incredible first shot. '6.16' was a cool bait to force Drake to drop his reply and then 'meet the grahams' was an absolute bomb that wiped out 'family matters' instantly. Then 'like us' dropped and is set to be a hit. That put Drake in a rough spot and he tried to come back with the "heart" song which had some tough lines but he was on the defense and also sounded like he was waving the white flag.
Kendrick is winning this fight and that's been the concensus I've seen. The breakfast club this morning claims Kendrick has another bomb coming with a "special guest" on the track. If that's true it could be the final knockout blow. Either way kendrick is up imo.
As for the battle as a whole...it's been incredible and everything hippop could have wished for. [Reply]

Until it's all (allegedly) fabricated last night and made Kendrick's whole battle a joke. However. Loved the entire weekend as I didn't think Drake or Cole could handle Kung Fu Kenny. [Reply]
No shit. Just when I was sick of turning the station from Sexy Red, Glo and Meg... This brought me right back in! Love Kenny and glad this brought him back in the booth. I'm hearing this is all publicity for his album dropping later this month as well.
Either way, I'm ready for ALL OF IT!

No one is buying that shit outside of the few Drake fans clinging on. He’s definitely gonna have to show a video of setting up the suitcase and all of that to be true. He saw a tweet and ran with it. Drake has how many ghost writers and management crew on his payroll? Not one of them thought to get proof of the setup?
Aubrey’s team came up with some good lines and did their best, but Not Like Us is too damn catchy and damning for Aubrey to recover from. Euphoria was the best of them all, though. Meet the Grahams was so ****ing dark. Aubrey’s writers did much better than I thought they would (besides the calling himself a woman line, relating himself to Epstein out of the blue when Kendrick only mentioned Weinstein, bringing up Millie Bobby Brown out of nowhere didn’t seem like the best PR move at the time, and countering being called a pedo by victim blaming someone who was molested [which he was not as the song Aubrey refers to clearly says] was certainly an odd choice) but it was over after Kendrick dropped Euphoria really. The title alone with the Wiz hidden Easter egg to start it was so ****ing brilliant. [Reply]

There’s nothing damning about any of this. It’s all a bunch of unsubstantiated rumors. [Reply]

With video resurfacing of him groping a 17 year old on stage then still continuing to hit on her and kiss her even after he KNOWS her age. Which definitely is way more evidence towards the claims being made than anything Aubrey has brought to the table. [Reply]

Neither of these dudes move like that.
Doubt any violence comes from this at all. It's all verbal sparring and reputation/career destroying type of stuff.
Drake isn't gangster at all. He has ZERO street cred, he just likes to culture vulture. Dude grew up jewish in Canada....like Jewish-jewish...little hat and everything.
Matter of fact, Drake (Aubrey Graham) is such a culture vulture he bought 2pac's engagement ring and rocks a 50cent G-Unit chain. Dude lives vicariously through other men. [Reply]

The real sledgehammer is Drake's weird connections with Millie Bobby Brown and Bella Harris. Drake even stupidly mentioned Millie's name in the last track which was an obvious attempt to dilute it's potency before Kendrick brings it to the forefront. [Reply]

It becomes even more believable when you “Meet the Grahams”
Drake's dad thinks the #MeToo movement wouldn't be necessary if women avoided putting themselves in potentially dangerous situations!! pic.twitter.com/zV2lTt44ZU
Ain't my thing, but always thought very little of Drake after Rihanna more or less publicly cucked him with the guy that beat the shit out of her. [Reply]

Lmao, he brought up MBB because Kendrick called him a ped. Kendrick never mentioned her, so Drakes basically snitching on himself. Drake was 31 years old texting a 14 year old child.
"A then-14-year-old Brown then spoke about him on the red carpet of the 2018 Emmys a couple of months later.
love him," she told Access Hollywood.
"I met him in Australia, and he's honestly so fantastic a great friend and a great role model," she said of the then-31-year old rapper."
"We just texted each other the other day, and he was like, miss you so much, and was like, miss you more."
"He gives me advice about boys."
The guy is obviously a grade a groomer and certified creep. [Reply]
