Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[htg designs]

This what I love most about this. And I feel like Kendrick saying F the industry multiple times has been overlooked. He knew going at Drake he would also be going against the machine. Bro is truly doing this for the culture. Makes the first part of 6:16 that even more powerful.

"I crash out, like **** rap..."

In a rap beef, what do you guys value more: witty responses that aren't factual or factual, okay bars?

Idk about this. Not Like us is a hit and along with Euphoria is topping the charts. Why would UMG want to bury them?

There's no burying the songs that are out. I think they just don't want to have Drake, a huge asset to them, completely ruined with more shots going his way.

Long term success over short term victories. The longer this goes on, the more it hurts Drake.

Kendrick is not nearly as valuable as Drake.

There’s a class of artist like Taylor, Drake, Weeknd, Ariana Grande that print money. They feeding everybody at that label.


A regular L is fine. But if that groomer/pedo stigma sticks he’s cooked.

Kendrick has probably cost him money already.

Not Like Us & Euphoria are topping the charts now, but Drake is The Machine’s prized possession.

They can’t have their main money maker being associated with words like predator and p*do ****.

Which is a part of the reason this Kendrick diss is even more fire. He went after the head honcho with all the $ behind him and still won in a landslide. He made it so bad that no rapper has even come out to defend Drake. Where’s the 1000s of collaborators in the rap game that he’s worked with at?

Then tried to play it in the whip heading home and couldn’t get past the first verse lol.

Honestly, the 2nd verse is the highlight of Not Like Us. As the young kids say, he was skating.

The entire 2nd half of the song is flames.
The 2nd verse he turns up the energy.
The 3rd verse he drops straight facts about the colonizer.
The outro he got everybody to dance and go crazy

The outro is damn near the best part.
HE A FAN
HE A FAN
HE A FAN

If that UMG stuff is true, they trash.

If drake wasn't acting so sus for so long, there would be no pedo accusations.

Why doesn't UMG address that....

 

[dacomeup]

Lol while Drake skates free on calling Kendrick an abuser? Ain’t no way they’re agreeing to this if it happens to be true

0 points for creativity . But to me it’s

Euphoria
family matters as the top 2 . Just my opinion though
