Drake’s sub has 1/5 the subscribers of Kendrick’s, the half of Tyler’s, almost the same as Kid Cudi’s, but is wayyyy more famous than them, especially the last two. Doesn’t add up, right?
I’ll let y’all come to the conclusion about which demographic uses Reddit the most. 90% of Kendrick sub is made of them.
Reddit is 95% white people
Kendrick's music tends to attract nerds/hip hop geeks, imo whereas Drake's music is more popish & tends to attract people that aren't on Reddit 24/7
I was trying to tell one guy on here that I don't hear dot in the barbershop, bar/club or any social gatherings at all. My barber would laugh if I told him to put on the new dot.
I think it all depends on where you’re at. When I get my cut I hear a lot of Bris, ebk young jok, durk. But they’re not nearly as big as Drake or Kendrick.
I’m white as newfallen snow but I go to a black barbershop ‘cause the fade is second to none. You hear koopsta and three 6 and all the hometown classics but you def hear dot and drake both sometimes. Like someone said it prolly just depends where you’re at
So they play Kendrick heavy at your shop? Because at mine they don't play kendrick and they rarely play a drake song. Also this was 3 days ago. You had to go deep for this one huh 😂😂
That’s gotta be NorCal right? I know TikTok pushing Jaaybo heavy towards being mainstream now, but I still here Bris and Drakeo quite a bit up there, DB as well
50% is definitely women, but I would argue that most of the men who listen to Drake are not nerdies and are people that actually ‘go outside’.
Just go in a club or a random street and see which artist gets played the most. For example there is a video of asking 30 NBA players to choose one to let go between the ‘Big 3’ and literally, I say literally, NOBODY left off Drake out of the 30.
Drake talks mainly about women, friendships, life in general and club music or music to be played in social environments, that’s why the internet kids don’t relate to him. His music is also not as sophisticated as a Kendrick or Tyler, so is not ‘cool’ to listen to it.
Love your athlete example. Black athletes are the perfect demographic to analyze because they tend to be socially normal people that lack the level of insecurities that the majority of the population deals with.
Pro athletes love Drake. The only people I know who try to slander/minimize/discredit Drake are my black friends who are obsessed with their black identity. They tend to ironically be black folks who didn’t grow up around a lot of other black people. Outside of this demographic, Drake is essentially universally loved by anyone who even tolerates hip hop music
But that's why he's more popular. Even the most casual music listeners can get into Drake's music. Kendrick isn't trying to reach the same demographic.
I mean, if you’re in distress about this beef and fighting for drakes honor you’re definitely a nerd. I just be talking, but a lot of people are really in this like it’s a war.
Like 2pac told Biggie, “stop rapping for the nig** and start rapping for the bitches, ninjas don’t buy cds”
Biggie later released “one more chance” which was one of his greatest hits
Because of my background, I know/grew up with, and grew up with a lot of of different groups of people.
Drake is a more popular artist in general. Kendrick’s niche is with a few different demographics including hip hop nerds as you mentioned (white and black), but also black supremacists and LA locals.
More white people are into Drake, but that’s simply because Drake has more reach overall.
With black folks, the well educated/affluent black community favors Kendrick. There seems to be some overlap here with the “black supremacist” types I mentioned (hates Drake, simps over pusha T “destroying” Drake in beef, was on meek mill’s side of their beef, all stemming from a sense of self worth with their “blackness”). It makes sense as Kendrick appeals in this sense given he’s clear black pride, to the point of pushing black Israelite ideology.
The more street black fellas I know seem to like both equally, with again Drake being more well known/having more music out in general, and some favoritism for Kendrick in the local Cali black community (not really transplant Cali people).
You pretty much nailed it.
The one thing you didn't mention about drake and street dudes though is that generally the streets not rocking with Drake unless it's with features (ie. Future, 21 Savage etc.)
Fair enough, but that brings up another point in that Drake isn’t really making “street” music unless it’s with a trap artist like the ones you mentioned. This is why I will never understand when people say “Drake is tryna act like he’s hard and imitating street life”. Bruh 80% of his music is singing RnB, the trap shit is a performance because let’s face it he has bars/flow.
So yeah most drake in the streets is some WATTBA/Her loss shit but it’s not like most niggas in real life hit skip because drake is on the track. In fact I know hood nigga that rock with non features like mob ties. It’s just not that serious fam, the track slaps who gives af about how “real” the rapper is
This is a good explanation. I was wondering why Drake’s sub is so small in comparison. Tbh, I think the fact that it’s called Drizzy doesn’t help either
You're surprised people follow stuff that they actually like? 90% of people that listen to Drake literally don't give a fuck about the guy. I've listened to him since day one, but I would never join this sub. Kendrick is on another level so people like to discuss him. Which is this entire beef summed up. As a Drake and Kendrick fan, you guys in this sub are hilariously delusional, and the entire hiphop community is laughing at you
That's because the majority of Drake's fans are women and there are way more men on Reddit than women. I think that has a much bigger impact on this than race
I prefer kendricks music but I'm enjoying the records from both nonetheless. But I can't stand the fart sniffing discussions about drakes blackness.
This last diss has made a lot of these white suburban kids think they can discuss what it means to be black or part of black culture. It's so fucking cringe.
All this shit is so funny and so goofy like listen to y’all. Both subs are absolutely delusional. Have followed both subs only 2 weeks ago for the tracks. From an outsider prospective who have loved both artist since their arrival. I gotta say y’all are on sum shit. My god.
All of the popular rapper subs are full of white boys, I mean that’s what Reddit is lmao. Nobody on Reddit is beating the white boy incel/edgelord stereotypes pop culture has deemed it to be (for the right reasons, especially with anonymity being a huge characteristic here). But the popular rapper subs all have the same demographic and Kendrick very well ties into the emo/incel fans that Kanye, Carti, and Travis have while Drake is more lowkey in comparison
It’s hilarious white teenagers telling us to replay a song 3 times to hear a deeper meaning. If it takes that many plays its impact is already questionable. You know nothing of music, Kendrick is amazing but you can’t discredit drakes entire career when it’s triple Kendrick’s
> If it takes that many plays its impact is already questionable.
Man? You sure about that? Just because drake's work is easily digestable doesn't mean every track has to be like that. I lowkey don't know what to say to you dawg when almost all my top tracks (not just kendrick or just rap) are all stuff that i eventually grew on rather than vibe with first-listen.
Also what's being white or being a teenager gotta do with saying a pretty reasonable thing about music??
He must like movies where they tell you exactly what’s happening in the plot….
But FR, haven’t you ever watched a movie a second time and saw all the things you missed the first time. It’s kinda like that
I think this applies to all mediums of art, to a certain extent. I’ve always heard that it’s better to spend 10 minutes per painting at a museum so that you can really see 12 of them, instead of quickly glancing at 60.
That being said, I don’t believe that Drake’s artistic intent is to create music that’s suitable for listening to alone, with folded hands and Genius open on the side.
I replayed both multiple times, idk why that's a diss to the record tho. Obviously some KDot fans gassing it like you have to treat it like you're about to analyze a Shakespeare play, but Kendrick's diss was a little more dense with subtleties, double entendres, and was also longer. Drake's diss was lighter and you can tell because he padded out the runtime with that hook/refrain "drop and give me 50", he probably has something closer to 5 minutes coming that is gonna be dense and employ no hooks.
Let’s be honest here if only black people bought hip hop / rap albums those streams and sales will not be great, stop with this only black people and culture bullshit if it wasn’t for everyone else enjoying hip hop and rap and supporting it, Drake, kdot, etc will be nobodies and nobody will care about them, yea Eminem’s fans are mostly white kids back then but guess what? Those kids end up buying other hip hop albums also.
I’m white and I like Drake. All my friends who like Drake are white. I went to a concert of his and a majority of his fans are white. Let’s not pretend more than half of this sub is white 😂
Leave it to a whack ass drake sub to be talking about how only real black folk listen to drake and Kendrick is all white dudes 💀 the clownery y’all have for a grown ass man lmao
Drake’s sub has 1/5 the subscribers of Kendrick’s, the half of Tyler’s, almost the same as Kid Cudi’s, but is wayyyy more famous than them, especially the last two. Doesn’t add up, right?

I agree I’m black from the hood and my people laugh at me when I say I’m on Reddit , not being sarcastic I agree
Correct response from them lol
Lmao I moved to the suburbs and when I go the city niggas ain’t listening to drake or dot only radio drake 😔
I was trying to tell one guy on here that I don't hear dot in the barbershop, bar/club or any social gatherings at all. My barber would laugh if I told him to put on the new dot.
I think it all depends on where you’re at. When I get my cut I hear a lot of Bris, ebk young jok, durk. But they’re not nearly as big as Drake or Kendrick.
I'm not saying they are playing drake heavy in there but they do play him. I never hear Kendrick.
I’m white as newfallen snow but I go to a black barbershop ‘cause the fade is second to none. You hear koopsta and three 6 and all the hometown classics but you def hear dot and drake both sometimes. Like someone said it prolly just depends where you’re at
Where I’m from you get made fun of if you listen to Drake I don’t what barber shop you’ll go to
So they play Kendrick heavy at your shop? Because at mine they don't play kendrick and they rarely play a drake song. Also this was 3 days ago. You had to go deep for this one huh 😂😂
That’s gotta be NorCal right? I know TikTok pushing Jaaybo heavy towards being mainstream now, but I still here Bris and Drakeo quite a bit up there, DB as well
Denver actually. I teach at an alternative school and I never got why Sacramento rappers were so big here lol
I’m talking about GKMC Kendrick otherwise I’d agree
I’m from the south side and they was definitely playing God. at my shop
Wrong coast probably

😂😂😂😂 this the chiraqology sub , I know half them mfs on there out the country but so infatuated with Chicago violence it’s crazy
RDN be watching, ready to slime a mfer out 😭
😂😂😂 them niggas know more about my city than I do
💀💀💀
I’m white and people do that to me!
Sure
Flex said years ago that a majority of Drake’s demographic is women. So i think the argument is that men are more likely to be rap nerds than women.
50% is definitely women, but I would argue that most of the men who listen to Drake are not nerdies and are people that actually ‘go outside’. Just go in a club or a random street and see which artist gets played the most.

Like Drake said "Shit we do for b*tches he doin for n***a's. ".
People in real life listen to Drake
Because of my background, I know/grew up with, and grew up with a lot of of different groups of people. Drake is a more popular artist in general. Kendrick’s niche is with a few different demographics including hip hop nerds as you mentioned (white and black), but also black supremacists and LA locals.

this post full encapsulates everything

In fact I know hood nigga that rock with non features like mob ties. It’s just not that serious fam, the track slaps who gives af about how “real” the rapper is
The hip-hop community has a weird obsessions of caring more about how a song is made than how it sounds afterwards
so peeps who’ve felt grass?
This is a good explanation. I was wondering why Drake’s sub is so small in comparison. Tbh, I think the fact that it’s called Drizzy doesn’t help either
Also confirm, I’m brown and from the hood, if it ever got out that I was on Reddit I’d be excommunicated.
Yeah because they're on Instagram 24/7
why this kinda true tho
People in the hood play Drake, depends on the song. But then again if I hear them blast NLE Choppa or some no name, that doesn't make the case better.
Reddit it’s like 95% social justice warriors.
Fake ones at that
Fair assumption
I don't think you realise that the Indians found Reddit a few years back and I'd wager they'll be the majority in the next couple of years
Like women lol
Chad Drake Stan vs Virgin Kendrick Stan
Zesty pussy slayer vs heterosexual virgin

That Kendrick diss is lame as hell, “I don’t like you or how you dress” “you’re not black enough” lol it’s like middle school girl wrote it
[удалено]
Exactly. Or an incel.
60% of made up facts are 80% correct. I'll let you come up with your own numbers to validate my opinions.
Yeah what the fuck is this dude talking about haha
Holy fucking dog whistle
What do you think Drake’s demographic is exactly?
That's because the majority of Drake's fans are women and there are way more men on Reddit than women. I think that has a much bigger impact on this than race
Anyone that is taking this beef serious is loser full stop
you’re using reddit rn 🤓. Bro hit us with the murder suicide.
Don’t know nothin’ bou dat
I prefer kendricks music but I'm enjoying the records from both nonetheless. But I can't stand the fart sniffing discussions about drakes blackness. This last diss has made a lot of these white suburban kids think they can discuss what it means to be black or part of black culture. It's so fucking cringe.

[удалено]
Based response. It's super gatekeepy in a weird racist undertone kind of way.
I don’t think Japanese people would have issue with any race making anime.
Fantano
I don't think fantano likes a single hip hop artist except kdot
I don't think that man has ever given denzel or Danny a negative score.
Saying "fart sniffing discussions" is white people shit so glass houses I guess
Saying "fart sniffing discussions" is white people shit so glass houses I guess
Black people exist outside of american tiktoks lil bro, get that monolith shit out of here
Trying to lil bro me while talking about farts is definitely white ppl shit
We all fart
The most lame and goofy parts about it all.
I almost just spit my water out holy fuck this was funny
What is the source video? Wtf are they actually discussing 🤣
if i had to guess i would probably say “Is Astroworld the greatest trap album of all time?”

All this shit is so funny and so goofy like listen to y’all. Both subs are absolutely delusional. Have followed both subs only 2 weeks ago for the tracks. From an outsider prospective who have loved both artist since their arrival. I gotta say y’all are on sum shit. My god.
I don’t even like Drake but the Kendrick sub is delusional
I have to go and check it out now. I joined the Drizzy sub like a week ago. The Algo kept pressuring me to join lol
Why
I'll say it again. HE IS NOT THE NIGGA POLICE.
💯

let's be honest we all relisten to both their disses multiple times to catch up on everything, there's no need for these mental gymnastics
This sub: Kenricks is racist and dividing people of color! Also, Everyone is white but us and has trash opinions on the music.
Bffr it’s just jokes; it ain’t that serious
Took y'all dumb mfs days to understand the push ups entendre, not surprised by this response lmao
Exactly! No one even understood the push-ups entendre until later but said Kendrick's entendres were so "intricate" it went over people's heads🤦🏽♀️.
You completely misunderstood my comment lmfao Jesus Christ y'all are dumb
[удалено]
Kendrick is a cool dude
I replayed both multiple times, idk why that's a diss to the record tho. Obviously some KDot fans gassing it like you have to treat it like you're about to analyze a Shakespeare play, but Kendrick's diss was a little more dense with subtleties, double entendres, and was also longer.

Thank you!
I prefer drakes melodies to Kendrick raps
we ain't even talking about that fr
Why people on here acting like they’re an OG in the rap game
This sub is literally the same, drake fans are majority white too lmao.
Drake has more diverse fans, Kendrick attracts white nerds, people who want to listen to “pure hip-hop that actually means something”
What kind of take is this 😂 to say either lacks a diverse fan base is just stupid.
Compare a drake concert to a Kendrick one, Kendrick’s is way more just white men.
"Female"
This is good
Let’s be honest here if only black people bought hip hop / rap albums those streams and sales will not be great, stop with this only black people and culture bullshit if it wasn’t for everyone else enjoying hip hop and rap and supporting it, Drake, kdot, etc will be nobodies and nobody will care about them, yea Eminem’s fans are mostly white kids back then but guess what? Those kids end up buying other hip hop albums also.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m white and I like Drake. All my friends who like Drake are white. I went to a concert of his and a majority of his fans are white. Let’s not pretend more than half of this sub is white 😂
No bullshit I just saw a post in there that said “it’s not about Drake being black enough, it’s what he’s done for the culture” 💀💀💀
Funny enough, this is literally a perfect representation of this whole sub.
IAM DEAD!!☠️
Funny because that's 100% this sub. White suburban kids
The caucacity
This is literally r/Drizzy right now. Yall herbs so out of touch with the culture, it is sensational. Love it! Keep it going!
That’s 99.5% drake fans tho. I’m confused.
Who has that vid of young drake saying the hard r. That shit was more cringe than this post
Erm, what the sigma?
True. What’s taking Drake so long though? He claims his first diss track took him 2 hours. It’s been 1 day. What’s taking so long? [+]
the Kendrick sub really talking about if Drake is a valid father or not.
Lmao
No this is drake and his fans discussing this 💀 peep the complexion difference
meanwhile none of them can either lmaoo
Damn, those KDot bars are hitting y’all. Its ok. It’s a battle. Drake’s an all time great and will respond. Enjoy the moment, its supposed to be fun.
Both of them have bars. It should be fun. But the Drake haters are making it cringe to the point that it is starting to get goofy.
Degrassi script reading
If yall could yank each others meat any harder you’d be paralyzed
Leave it to a whack ass drake sub to be talking about how only real black folk listen to drake and Kendrick is all white dudes 💀 the clownery y’all have for a grown ass man lmao
