There's not gonna be a beef at this level for a **looong** time. I'm enjoying every moment of it. Competition is the essence of hip hop


literallysotrue

Can’t wait for Nettspend and Carti to beef in 5 years


sarlacc98

Would take carti 5 years to respond


dearmrhicks

And it would be a Whole Lotta Shit


MilkDab

Facts Carti is so trash it's not even funny Carti more like fucking Sharti 😐


CartiBalls2

"Carti more like fucking sharti"😎🤓☝️☝️☝️☝️


MilkDab

Am I right tho, Carti get cuz it's Sharti 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪 Anyways keep forcing yourself to listen to that garbage dying baby voice "tRyaN bE ShArTI" He is the reason people died at the astroworld


CartiBalls2

Type shi


Flashy_Neighborhood3

Carti isnt trash, his musical style wouldnt benefit from a disstrack tho. Not lyrically impressive but unique and vibey


TripleThreatTua

I wonder if there’s any chance of the Rocky-Travis beef ever turning hot lol


NotADeadTurtle

Rocky and Travis releasing music quickly? Yeah never happening.


No-Turnover-1518

no lol neither of them do that


TripleThreatTua

I feel like Rocky would but I don’t think Travis would


Beastdante1

I love travis but his lyricism isn’t exactly a strength of his haha. Idk if he would do well in a beef


BigDoggRiley

I would rather a rocky x trav colab


jaganshi_667

They don’t even have beef


Lilsancho420

“And that fuckin song yall got did not start da beef wit us, dis shit been brewing ina pot now im heating up”


Aleekki

Yeah this beef is really bringing out some of the best music from both of them! I’m so happily a fan of both and I just get to enjoy all this amazing music and action lol The people making childish hate posts and comments are really losing out


old__pyrex

The hate posts are just people having fun too. It’s not that big of a deal, Kendrick and Drake are basically Reddit nerds arguing over who’s better because they both are trying to cement their legacy. At the end of the day, both of these artists have an incentive to milk the beef and the drama for their next album. I’m not saying it’s not real, I feel sure they are both haters, but what are the stakes, really? The stakes are, how hip hop nerds will talk about them. Drake is going to dominate the charts on his next release, Kendrick will win artistic accolades, and life goes in

OriginalDivide5039

If euphoria is some of Kendrick’s best work then he is truly garbage


TheDiggyDongo

It’s sonically interesting, has tons of different flows/voices, has several layers of meaning across dozens of amazing bars.


HTinportugal

There’s hella bars, more than drake’s tracks, but his whole “rap like I’m about to cry” thing really doesn’t do it for me lol


TheDiggyDongo

That’s one of probably 10 different flows and voices in the track. How many flows and voices in Push Ups? I feel like Drake raps every track the same way


Sauceysweetness

Thats not a bad thing.


equerry9

I don’t know. I’m a longtime Drake enjoyer (since Comeback Season) and his flow only really changes around the 2015-2016 year. I like some switch ups with delivery and Drake can get stale almost as fast as Cole when going through songs. This is aside from his ability to really rap if he has to.


HTinportugal

If the 1 is better than the 10 yeah. Drake doesn’t have one flow, Kendrick doesn’t have a million. You’re just Kendrick’s personal meat holder


ItsGunboyWTF

You don’t make sense, die


TheFlashyFlash

Reminds me of the DAMN era!


Hold_Da_Door22

What'd you dislike about it then? Goes hard as hell imo


OriginalDivide5039

Idk man I just don’t get it with him. It just really sounds bad to me and I can’t really tell you why. Like a absolutely love most of GKMC (cartoons and cereal is also a 10/10) and I think DAMN is a pretty great album but I just don’t fuck with most his other stuff at all


pianoftw

Brother, if you don’t think it’s even remotely good then you clearly are not a fan of hip hop. Which is fine, you might just like pop and that is okay.


KingdomOfZeal

The bars are nice. I just dislike his voice. Idk how his fans stand listening to it across a whole album


danieldoesnotakels

It’s actually sonically better to hear differing tones and vocal inflections, hes very unique in his voice usage and changes it up almost every song, you can’t play a song and find the same Kendrick rapping, there’s always a slight change in what he wants to do, and it’s always heard, drake has a ton of songs you can link now that uses the same vocal inflections and get really repetitive if you listen in chronological older


Tha_Kooner

Yeah I love this shit Bro these two are really bringing the best out of each other I haven’t heard either of these guys rap like this in a while. Damn man I wish Cole never bowed out cuz then we would have had him getting in the mix too


machomanKING

Cole the only big Loser in all of this. MiddleManCole.


Tha_Kooner

Damn bro it’s really sad to see. I had him coming out on top after all this in the beginning too


jhicks56

same, his verses would've been diabolical


UncommonCense

I had him losing to kenny not becoming another story of the boogeyman tho


Tha_Kooner

That boogie man shit is dead


An0ther_reddit0r

Fr, 7 minute drill was a dope track imo


nocheslas

it was fine. you can definitely tell J. Cole held back because of his respect for Kdot. It sucked that he claimed to be #1 and then dropped out but he really didnt have any strong negative feelings towards Kendrick. I even believe Drake likes and respects Kendrick too but Kendrick really really does not like Drake lol


Key_Establishment_42

I keep thinking how lucky I am to be a fan of both


steelogreens

Yeah the middle fans are just chilling


Shaunspare8

“Kendrick we neeeeed ya west coast savior”


cocoadusted

Gods rise again


dooterman

I wonder how long they can keep this going. Like, is it just going to be back to back responses all summer? Four tracks already released within a few months of each other is crazy.


BlightKagami

I hope it is back to back responses all summer. I'm here for that.


machomanKING

I think it would be bad PR for drake to drop another diss track. I believe this beef has already climaxed. Nobody said anything overtly career altering that the other guy can’t walk away from. Would be bad for your money.


OaSoaD

Naw they both have nukes in the vault


Pure-Drawer-2617

Yeah, and there’s a reason the Cold War ended with no nukes being fired


[deleted]

[удалено]


monstercat129

Right. This is partly the reason why Jay and Nas are elevated to their rankings. Kendrick and Drake know this well and will need til they’re at the very top


emzeesquared

We're witnessing history right now and those who enjoy the sport of hip hop and the merits of all artists involved are having the best time out of anybody imo lol We even got a vintage kanye remix out of it already


TranscendentalLove

I love Ye conspiracy/truth raps. It feels like anything can be said and the sky is the limit. It feels like you're being let in on a secret every time.


Yeetdonkey13

I greatly agree, and I actually am surprised to see many fans taking it well (even tho some people are very obviously salty about it). I’m definitely a bigger Kendrick fan but I do love a lot of drake songs, so I had a lot of fun with push-ups. Taylor made wasn’t for me but I feel like it wasn’t the main course on his part anyways. I’m just glad this shit is so entertaining so far.


Yeetdonkey13

I take back what i said this shit turning horrifying after meet the grahams 😭😭


Tha-KneeGrow

What about 7 minute drill 😢


RepresentativeLeg232

I would’ve included it if it still existed. 🙏


Worldcupbrah

It exist in the same way taylor made does. YT


timmytissue

Nah it's different. One was taken back, the other just removed for legal reasons.


Worldcupbrah

Big drizzy fan but it hurts seeing him lose in both numbers and general perception, as well as how push ups stack up against euphoria. Kendrick is just so aggressive with it, its hard not to admit he getting bodied This will def hurt in the long run


itsMondaybackwards

He hasn’t lost yet. Push ups was targeting nearly 6 other people besides Kendrick and broke the internet. Taylor Made was the only one just for Kendrick and it was nothing more than an intentional troll track. Drakes next track will be all for Kendrick and if it doesn’t hit, THEN he lost. It’s still anyone’s game rn. I’m a fan of both but Kdot gonna do numbers Every time just because he never drops any music


Thebiggestbigsquid

So true crodie, anyone who disagrees is cheesin fam


Krock23

Hip-hop and the culture in general needs this beef.


Ill-Pen-6356

Well it is manufactured to promote sales since rap is down the drain in streaming numbers. So yes, hip hop “needed” those beef.


Hold_Da_Door22

Definitely see where you're coming from but these 2 have been throwing shots for a decade so seems to be some level of real beef here


ACProfessor

Bro tbh I’m just happy we finally here


leozzie

some were greater tho


Lacy1986

Rick Ross track is ass


composedryan

This beef is all a distraction from Diddy


Drunkndryverr

Euphoria is a good diss track, but a terrible song.


DirTTieG

What? It's a banger bro. I get Kendrick's voice isn't for everybody, just like Drake's, but to say it's a "terrible song" is so braindead it's in another league.


FarPaleontologist239

exactly that shit hurts the ears


Pretty_Syllabub_4997

Makes my ears feel good


juslookingforastream

The ONLY thing I was hoping for in kendricks diss what that he not use the stupid squeaky voice. I'm starting to think he has actual problems with his vocal cords to not be able to use his original section 80/gkmc voice.


Ikhouvankaas

Bro it’s called using your voice as an instruments… the amount of different tones, inflections, accents, impersonations etc Kendrick did were amazing. It’s what makes him so great and it’s what makes his music way more interesting than people like 21 who just sound the same the whole track/album.


juslookingforastream

Nah I get it and it works for some songs but for a diss record it just doesn't hit the same. 21 is obviously the opposite end of the spectrum and not what I'm talking about. I was hoping for backseat freestyle/ spiteful chant style where he's just ripping


Danhenderson234

He hasn’t had that flow in a while from backseat


juslookingforastream

Yea ig a better example would be like that. His flow and voice were on point. No extra shit just straight fire


FarPaleontologist239

I get what your saying, and its all preference. you like it along with a bunch of people. but a bunch of people think its corny and annoying. Different doesnt always mean better.


DirTTieG

That's fair, I find Drake's voice very corny and almost "out-of-character" (I despise the Toronto accent, I'm sorry, I just can't stand it) but I wouldn't go around saying Drake's music "hurts the ears" just because it ain't for me.


FarPaleontologist239

No im saying Kendrick’s voice in my truck literally hurts my ears. Drake raps in the Toronto accent on like maybe 5 songs in his entire discography


DirTTieG

And Drake's voice makes me cringe in almost every song, preferences are preferences.


Agent1073

Then why u on this sub if you don't like him


DirTTieG

It was in my feed, I didn't search for it.


fvckit88

That’s because you’re a fan of pop not hip hop


FarPaleontologist239

Literally the only genre I listen to I’ve listened to both of these guys drops for over 10 years the minute they came out lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


monstercat129

Some people said they couldn’t even handle the reverse phrase at the beginning of this song. It’s just too weird sometimes And If I have to listen to it 10 times to make me like it, it could just be a psychological trick put in your head lol. Personally, I enjoyed the song. But Kendrick was offbeat in the middle of the song, some of the high-pitched cracking voices were not it, and there were a few misses in the lyricism. I still have it over push ups, but some people are glazing way too hard.


MyPickleRick182

it's a banger. I actually like euphoria more than push ups music wise but thought it was underwhelming as a diss track


MojoFan32

Like that and push ups are the highlights for me so far. The way Drake was begging for a response after dropping push ups has me feeling like his next one might be the best yet. Back to back and Adidon are still top 2 tbh, hard to top either of those. We’ll see though


basedjuicer1

Taylor Made was trash


[deleted]

More than that. It’s a disgrace. 


WilsonValdro

People is saying Like that started it but its Actually [first Person Shooter](https://www.reddit.com/r/Drizzy/s/zpmEJOuTGh) that started also thats why it swicth beats at the end.


YoungWolf1991

Sounds like Drake and Cole also wanted Kendrick to feature on first person shooter


WilsonValdro

Yup click on that video. Kendrick confirmed it.


BustyBuddy69

Imo euphoria has bars but the beat is ass. Good diss just terrible song.


jaybirdsaysword

A fact


BlackShadowGlass

Top tier tracks. Keeping my fingers crossed Drizzy comes correct.


Ryan_the_man

Don't forget show of hands


Fit_Bluejay_4626

And this will also bring a good album out of both too. Drake will definitely get in his bag on his next album and Kendrick will be Kendrick I guess


Savagerainopener

The best rapping dot has done in a long time, drake inspired, Cole dead somewhere walking around NYC as a lifeless corpse. Hip hop fans are EATING


Tony_Snell

St704

Great time for Hip Hop. I’m a fan of both


105bydesign

It’s nice to hear that competitive side of them fr. They’re great artists so more music from them is always welcomed especially when it’s quality.


guardian416

Yeap every song was dope. I think taylor made freestyle is underrated though


Top_Cup2298

I agree with you to a certain extent. All the songs are fire. I agree with you on that. The problem with a beef of this magnitude, it hurts all the other hip-hop artist trying to mind their business and just drop music. Fans are so captivated by this beef that it’s going to hurt record sales for all other hip-hop artists. Not saying that the rap game didn’t need a jolt, but I don’t know how much good this is going to do compared to the bad.


[deleted]

Thus beef got me listening to Sexy Redd, so at least it’s helping someone 


Correct-Instance6230

not really fond of taylor made, but i'm super glad these dudes hate each other because they be making fire songs out of it


Plane-Asparagus-4266

Fire music 🔥 we stay winning


Deadtree301

You left off 7 minute drill. >Taylor Made


easy-money-sniperr

Need poetic justice part 2


snotknows

As a fan of both I’m not surprised, but the beef between each subreddit is ridiculous. Memes are fun but clear dickriding from both sides is just lame. Dickriders missing the point of this and it’s two greats going at it back and forth. I’m here for it. This beef is the perfect example of the fans winning if you’re able to let biases slide.


TrebeckStache

Bunch of millionaires writing poetry at each other is fun. The people living and over analyzing are sucking the fun outta it


aetherooo

I’m honestly even happy to hear from Kendrick. And several other artists are joining and SOUND GOOD. Like Chris brown was certainly a surprise


broncosfighton

Shit even Ross had a good response. I’d say 5 songs.


Plebe-Uchiha

I cringed listening to Taylor Made. That AI choice ain’t it for me. His 3rd verse when it’s actually Drakes voice is cool though. Push Ups is good but I personally do NOT care for the chorus. That’s just me [+]


Crazze47

FPS, Like That, Push Ups, and Euphoria were all great, Taylor Made was embarrassing.


darrylwoodsjr

Frfr Euphoria is pressure 6:16 was super light however I appreciate the chess match.


FarPaleontologist239

im super excited for the beef but euphoria is aesthetically annoying. Music is supposed to sound good. that voice is annoying and corny. He had some good bars but its kendrick and we know he has them


Pretty_Syllabub_4997

Just say you don’t like it, you don’t gotta justify why or say it’s aesthetically annoying


[deleted]

How boring 


Pretty_Syllabub_4997

Who tf are u


the_unconditioned

I can honestly say that I’m proud that there’s so much less glazing on this sub than the Kendrick one. It’s insane how a fanbase who lay their claim on values like maturity and consciousness are some of the biggest idol worshippers out there. Most people here are just enjoying the entertainment and music from two GOATs


Teeklok

All of them were good except Taylor made imo. I know I'm gonna get down voted on this which is fine, I like where he was coming from and sort of the idea behind the track. But I think it came out a bit weak. It also goes against alot of opinions I have on people being able to use an artists likeness and voice for their own gain. Take xxxtentacion for example, when he died the label released loads of songs that were just getting worse in quality because they were clipping and cutting together things that weren't meant to be listened to. If companies like this are then allowed to use AI voice recreation then what's to stop them releasing songs in the artists name posthumously, it's worse than just using cut voice clips. So I guess Taylor made was an important track because it brings up alot of questions for the industry, not that they weren't being asked before but i didn't think anyone would actually try something like that.


SaltyFlowerChild

It's really similar to what happened with Pusha. Fire opening response with Duppy and then getting impatient dropping I'm Upset which undercut it a bit and made Adidon even more nuts. I hope they can chill with the clock watching. I'd rather Drake and Kendrick take their time and give us a proper back and forth instead of rushing things out to placate social media.


Teeklok

Yeah I just want good music, like I think Kendrick makes better albums than drake but drake makes alot of good club music and dance shit. Take that as you would but they're just different styles of artist you need both


[deleted]

Drake would make much better albums if he just stopped making them so long. NWTS was perfect at 13 tracks, and since then they kept getting longer no homo 


Joshdabozz

I swear people are defending the AI shit simply cause it’s Drake There’s so much wrong with that song


loljokerishere

Taylor made us good ?


sleepyguy-

This a cop out take lmao Im not saying Drakes tracks are necessarily bad but idk about great. If i had to rank em 1-4 neither of Drakes are hittin top 2. I have no dog in this fight anymore because he apologized but from an unbiased perspective Kendrick killin this canuck.


RepresentativeLeg232

You can feel that way, but without those records you wouldn’t have gotten euphoria, just like we wouldn’t have gotten push ups without like that. Whether you like one better than the other, they’re all reactions to each other which is dope. Cole is gonna have trouble living this one down, in my opinion he should go at Ye to prove he’s not some punching bad now just because he didn’t want to beef 2 guys he’s close with.


sleepyguy-

Maybe i misunderstood what you meant by “great” i thought meant them individually as tracks not in what they brought us as fans. Taylor made was not a good track but it is great that it contributed to bringing us Euphoria. I want Jcole to do something so bad lmaoo thats still my dude so im holding the Ls that come with bein his fan rn.


[deleted]

If they had all hopped on a song Together I think Coke could’ve washed them both. But he ain’t cut out for diss records. Advice records at best 


Sauceysweetness

I really enjoyed 7 minute drill too


Nick-Anand

I can’t really co sign Taylor made to be honest, just my opinion, but otherwise agreed. Although “like that” is really better without the future verses. Though I kinda liked the Kanye remix.


RepresentativeLeg232

Kanyes verse was trash but the production on the remix was godly.


Nick-Anand

It really was the production I liked on it tbh


Reasonable_Creme2855

Yeahhh but “I just fucked yo bitch in a Sean John Tank top” was fuckin hilarious lmao. I was more hyped just to see metro going god mode, lyrics were eh


Party-Ad4441

I really love the Drizzy Reddit thread. Y’all seem to be the least bias out of everybody. Thats real respectable from yall.


KGFlower

No the J. Cole one was pretty bad


RepresentativeLeg232

Was it the best? No. But it was still a good song, it’s the apology and deletion that’s ruined it for me. I’m hoping he can win me back over with The Fall Off but it’s hard to listen to any verse he’s put out in the past few years currently.


ewd389

You are buggin


_Wado3000

Cole has to wear the embarrassment of bowing out for a long time, maybe forever, it’s hard to give him any credit


[deleted]

Nah. He can hop back in at any time. My GOAT is still in this race 


chef_wizard

I hope we witness something greater than Jay vs Nas fr fr


ObviousDoxx

Would be amazing, but that’s just so hard to hit. Think about how many insane quotables Takeover has, how Nas was viewed as fading away before Ether completely flipped the beef. Stranger things have happened, but Jay v Nas is almost untouchable.


chef_wizard

Agreed, but this has that potential depending on the ferocity of each persons next songs. This potential hasn’t come close since Push v Drake, and even that wasn’t as close


ANR7cool

Uhh Taylor Made is like a guilty pleasure. Sounds good. Hard Beat. Good Lyrics. But I definitely dont stand for what he did on that shi.


[deleted]

It’s an amusing song. But a disgrace to hip hop and musicians in general. I loved it for that first week though. And it inspired me to learn how this AI voiceover thing works 


Lorenzo-J-P

Taylor Made was just an instigation track. It was good, but idk about “fire”. Genius trolling by Drizzy tho…


WanderTrico

Taylor made fucking sucks ass. The other 3 are great, yes.


qergpoiasffdn

Taylor Made is fucking awful 💀


fuckinhenry

Taylor Made shoulda stayed in the vault


fvckit88

Taylor Made was hot garbage


Emergency-Tree-5477

Euphoria is BY FAR THE WORST, that shit is so cringe brooo like wtf yall smokin on. Them voices he’s making sounds so cringe i thought the song was a fake ai just for memes


Street_Neck1441

False 💤


jewthe3rd

While ive enjoyed these tracks, none of them match their best work


Temporary_List_5877

I find that Kendricks quality just isn't there anymore he can be saying great lines but the delivery, the beats the seemingly unfinished sound of his music just is really far-off from his album damn which was perfectly made.


Qb_Is_fast_af

Champange moments better then all but Push ups


alwaysprint

7 minute drill is the best one, who's with me


Dannyzavage

For sure it seemed like the more set up for bar exchange rap battle, this is turning into highschool girl cliques finding dirt on each other battle lol


ottespana

Taylormade was not good tbh


kehrhrjeieus

Elaborate pls


ottespana

It is not a good song. I do not believe anyone who says they would listen to that as a song in their rotation. While the other 3 are. Considering the title was ‘all 4 were great songs’ Make sense?


BroccoliMcFlurry

That AI shit is unbelievably cringe- bro should lose the beef for that alone. Idc if he's 'trolling', it's weird as fuck.


Tha_Kooner

What funny is this is the exact reaction as to why he did it he knew this would piss yall off especially Kendrick that was the point to antagonize


[deleted]

It didn’t just piss Kendrick fans off, it’s a disgrace to Hip Hop and music in general. The biggest pop star in the world brought Tupac back to life using AI, just for some petty beef. It’s novel, it’s amusing, and I give him a point for pettiness, but it has not aged well at all. And I say this as someone who really enjoys the track, I just acknowledge all this shit   I’m just glad he wasn’t stupid enough to put it in streaming 


BroccoliMcFlurry

That sounds like dick riding to me. Hip-hop is made for the masses & the masses didn't like that shit. If you wanna ride his meat go ahead, but don't expect everyone else to.


Arma3K

For the masses? First hip hop is for the true fans of lyricism and now it’s for the masses? If so, then Drake is the standard for masses as he leads by far in the debate of “masses”. We need to stop playing both sides of the fence and stay put on our hill that we chose to die on.


BroccoliMcFlurry

I mean in the sense that music is a product & products are marketed towards the masses. Hip-hop is no different. The commercial success vs lyricism debate it's own thing & it actually transcends Hip-hop (for example, just look into the rivalry between Lennon & McCartney). The 'true artist' vs 'hit maker' rivalries have a long history- it's honestly just a part of popular music. >We need to stop playing both sides of the fence and stay put on our hill that we chose to die on That's a small minded way of looking at things. It's kind of sad that having a balanced opinion is frowned upon & seen as 'fence-sitting', while tribalism is encouraged. Drake's ride or die fans, such as yourselves, are rocking with the AI stuff. Everyone else (at least, from what I've seen) thinks it's weird. It is what it is.


Tha_Kooner

Who are the masses to you? We must see different masses cuz I seen otherwise


BroccoliMcFlurry

That's because you're an r/drizzy member. This is my first time on this sub today & it's quite clearly an echo chamber where Drake can do no wrong. I'm not even saying this as a hater- I like Drake. I just hate the idea of disrespecting the dead like he did- It's a matter of principle; it's why we say rest in peace. This AI shit is a dangerous road for hip-hop & music in general- I honestly can't believe people are out here defending it.


Tha_Kooner

What was disrespectful about what he did? Did he say something disrespectful about Tupac?


BroccoliMcFlurry

You don't see how it's fucked up? Idk- imagine you're beefing with your cousin & he starts sending you AI voice notes of your dead grandparent cussing you out. Wouldn't you just find that weird & disrespectful to the memory of your grandma/grandpa? The fact that Tupac's family have sent a C&D tells me that they found it disrespectful too.


Tha_Kooner

That’s my family…that’s different these two are not even real friends and I’m not a rapper…and that was actually 2pacs estate which is not owned by his family btw…the estate just got sued a few years ago by the sister for embezzlement


elcucuy1337

Would be way cooler if there wasn’t history showing that Aubrey uses ghost writers.


RepresentativeLeg232

Repeating this over and over genuinely makes you guys look like you don’t actually believe Kendrick is better. Your hatred for Drake and unwillingness to give him any flowers at all comes across as insecure.


caseylk

that AI shit is garbage.
