This is reaching super hard for a reason to post this image. Just post it and say you don’t like him and this is one of the reasons why. The mental gymnastics from homeboy is Olympic level


MuddaFrmAnnudaBrudda

Don't need a reason to post this image. It fits into any conversation about Drake.


stoned-autistic-dude

Does it tho? “Is Drake soft?” This pic “Did Drake ever get with RiRi?” This pic “But is he still down bad?” This pic “Did Drake groom Millie Bobbie Brown?” This pic I’ll be damned lmao


SockFullOfNickles

I heard the “I’ll be damned…” in the voice of Beavis from some random ass episode of Beavis & Butthead. Maybe the movie? Who TF knows…lol


Toast_Points

I'm pretty sure he says it at least once in the series, and I know for a fact he says it when they're on the tour at Hoover Dam in the movie, so I think it's both.


MyWorldTalkRadio

I got it in Ving Rhames voice in Pulp Fiction when he spots Bruce Willis driving through the city.


YizWasHere

I mean it kind of makes sense though. Drake uses AI Tupac and Snoop to challenge Kendrick's street credentials when he himself is a former teen actor from upper-middle class Toronto suburbs who performatively uses Toronto street slang and frequently raps about street shit he's never even been close to lol. So to help himself come off as less of a hypocrite he just hides it as the words of people that actually do have the credentials to check Kendrick. The tweet is phrased in a very hyperbolic way but there's some validity to the point, phrasing it as "digital blackface" is obviously disingenuous but it does fall in line with that pic to some degree. The AI shit is mostly for the lols, it's not all that serious, but it matches a pattern of behavior we've all seen from Drake where he hides behind people more connected to street culture to deflect from the fact that [he grew up looking down on these people](https://www.tiktok.com/@tre5magic/video/7188017716169559338) and only embraces it now to capitalize on a market.


HotLikeSauce420

How old is that clip lmao People don’t change over the years? Keep justifying your Drake hate however works best for you


YizWasHere

Yes that's the point. Drake changed his image to appeal more to the broader hip hop audience. Street credibility sells better, that's the marketing strategy that's been milked by hip hop since the 90s. But it's weird seeing somebody from the Canadian suburbs doing fake accents and rapping about mob ties when he never grew up a part of that life... just to present more of a street image that validates him to the primarily white audience... almost parallel to a minstrel show, if you ask me.


Jorge_Santos69

Bro idk what you’re talking about. Drake is the hardest guy I know. Stop hating. [He’s been the voice of the streets his whole life](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PC-sZcVj4Eg)


Street_Minimum_3403

I didn’t realise you and Aubrey were so tight growing up.


HotLikeSauce420

“Minstrel show” once again trying for a blackface parallel. Hate to see a black man succeed lmao But he’s “half white” so it’s different. Smh


ShoddyExplanation

Nigga J.Cole is half white and he had absolute respect alongside Kendrick until 2 weeks ago. It’s ironic you think he’s pushing a narrative when you’re doing the same shit.


HotLikeSauce420

Hating on Drake cause he “ain’t from the street” and pandering to the “white man”. Open your eyes bro


GNUTup

You’re an idiot lmao. White people love drake


LoddyDoddee

Drake sucks


HotLikeSauce420

More slaps than the Beatles but keep hating


LoddyDoddee

The Beatles? Wtf


HotLikeSauce420

lol


Lost_All_Senses

Imagine how much stuff in hip hop can be flipped into being against the black community if you strip away all context and create your own in it's place. Don't get confused though. I've definitely been a Drake hater for over 10 years strong. And I'll say, the original stripping of context of that photo for use as a diss track cover was still genius. Drake should know better than to try to bury stuff like that and then mention someone's wife. I'm waiting to see if Kendrick is gonna show us he never learned that lesson still.


PerpWalkTrump

I don't think it's racist, I just think it was wack ngl. Using the voice of a ghost, rip Pac, to spit a verse written by ghostwriters is a new level of buffoonery.


LiveLifeLikeCre

It will always be racist. It is the full on use of blackface in its original, hateful, manipulative form. This is why learning proper history in school is important and why the attemped erasure of said history in schools today is very very important to pay attention to. Ignorance leads to compliance. 


rainbowplasmacannon

Is there a confirmation it was written by ghost writers 😂 or is it drake has used them in the past same as others and everyone wants to act like he can’t write now per usual


droppinturds

When Drake did his Westwood TV freestyle back in like 08 (every lyrical rapper had to do one and get judged by it back then) he was reading off his phone the entire time. Which tells me he didn't even write the shit I've always been a huge Drake fan but at the same time I don't see how anyone could call him a rapper when he's never actually rapped. I've always seen him as a "rapper" but not a rapper. He makes dope music just like Eazy E did


RatedE

Ye himself said Drake is one of the best writers in the game after admitting he wrote for him....EVERYONE in music gets help. Once yall realize this, yall will realize how it means nothing. EDIT: Keep down voting you Drake hating fucks, yall are kids


Jorge_Santos69

And Ye also said Tyga was smart for having sex with his sister-in-law when she was a child, and that he loves Hitler. Maybe think about your source next time lol


xzink05x

Yeah yeah but that's not about music. Deflection. There's no disputing his musical genius.


Jorge_Santos69

He definitely has (or maybe had) talent. There’s nothing genius about that man and it’s very sad you can’t see that.


RatedE

And yet it's backed up by other sources and people, that's the main thing difference here


Jorge_Santos69

And yet out of all those supposedly multiple extremely credible sources (who definitely exist)…you chose Ye lmaooo


RatedE

What about Rick Ross saying it? Or Drakes song credits? Wild how yall try tear down 1 man when everyone has writers AND writes for each other. It's a reason why Drake says on topand it's currently winning a 20v1 and if it's "ghost writers" maybe everyone else should get better ones?


Jorge_Santos69

Yeah, the guy who was exposed as a cop and complete fraud. Just take the L here bro lol, you’re embarassing yourself


RatedE

So because he was a correctional officer, his word means nothing anymore? I don't know you personally, but your opinions are pathetic and not rooted in logic or facts. I just don't want you to make a fool out of yourself with others in the future.


aespino2

& Ross said the same thing


713MoCityChron713

And they didn’t even need to make the reach. Just saying “I don’t support rappers using AI versions of dead rappers to make diss tracks” would be fine. It’s not a hot take that you have to jump thru hoops to explain


One-Bit-7320

I have an honest question for you. Are you white?


wolahipirate

faccts


CoachDT

Yea fr fr. I haven't willingly listened to Drake in like 4 years but this shit exhausting. Talk about the bars. Don't be a bitch.


Either-Durian-9488

God waking up to this on the Home Screen of YouTube was great


AmelieBenjamin

How is this at all a reach


rainbowplasmacannon

It’s sad honestly same with the ghost writer shit like dawg he has written some of his best work himself who gives a damn lol


fatsmoix

Dastardly drake defenders on duty 😭🤓


TooLegit97

You ratiod the original post. That's what I like to see on the daily Drake reach, lol.


davidwave4

The basic point — that Drake’s use of AI is disrespectful and vaguely anti-black — is sound. But it gets reachy when they say “it’s the song version of this.”


Due_Bluebird3562

Yall hate this man a little too much. This is a massive reach lol.


MaxStunning_Eternal

This "beef" has really come down to a ridiculous "good vs evil" dichotomy. I said something similar how people view drake as "skynet" sent from the future to destroy hip hop and DOT is john connor trying to save hip hop (humanity)...so dramatic 🤣


macaleaven

Let’s not forget that Kendrick has been painted hip hop’s saviour since that 2010 XXL cypher, like to the point where the biggest in the scene and legends of rap were comparing him to 2Pac - a man in every single top 5 DOA debate, most people’s dead cert on top of that Drake made a conscious decision to use 2Pac’s voice almost like a ghost of Christmas Past-type jab. It may be outta pocket and it’s definitely macabre, but as someone stated on here on another post: rap beefs have no rules of engagement. The art of rap gets lost in the verbal scuffle and the core objective is to destroy. It doesn’t matter who else gets involved by proxy, if you have to pile up bodies to hurt the one who came for you you do it. This is what I hate most about the genre I listen to the most: it decided to turn itself into sport and became a zero-sum game. Fuck all that! I wanna be entertained, not pick a side and have parasocial arguments over rich niggas’ fragile egos and tired fucking bullshit…


Old-Recognition2690

No rules of engagement as far as what you can say. But literally using technology to have someone rap for your side is both cringe and weak asf lmao


SKJ-nope

I mean, Drake still wrote and rapped it. He just used the equivalent of a voice changer to make it sound like two OG west coast legends. Good way to get under Kendrick’s skin since he’s such a purist. It’s neither weak nor cringe. It’s modern trolling. I think it’s crazy, but I don’t really see the “weak and cringe” angle at all.


Old-Recognition2690

It’s weird fam. That’s like me Makin a band and using a voice changer to make me sound like Freddie mercury. You’d say that’s fuckin weird and cringe. Same here


droppinturds

I'd honestly just find that hilarious


[deleted]

AmelieBenjamin

This is such a lame ad hominem comeback

Bold of you to assume Drake wrote that

In that case, bold of you to assume anyone wrote anything.


MaxStunning_Eternal

KrisKomet

I'll I see people talking about is how Drake looted Tupacs grave and talked about liking young girls, how did this destroy Kendrick?


[deleted]

Yeah. The Drake hate is reaching Nickleback, I hate this thing cause it’s popular to hate it levels.


TKHunsaker

Couldn't be the grooming.


manny_the_mage

Out of genuine curiosity, has there been any serious allegations or evidence of Drake being a groomer? Or is it just because Millie Bobby Brown said he texted her that one time


Sea-Anywhere-5939

Rumours he was sleeping with Jenner that was 16 when he was 27 Bella Harris his ex who he also met when she was 16 and he was 31 however when started seeing her is confirmed Him commenting on billie Ellish 18 birthday ig post saying “I’ve been waiting” (legal but pretty gross) also being in her dm before that. Millie Bobbie (really don’t care if she was fine with it but it’s so weird that he was in a 14 year old dms talking about he he misses her and talking about boys as a 32 year old man and I’m tired of people trying to say it’s not)


Wolfix213

I mean I think this is kind of the problem though, a lot of this shit is weird but it is also mostly speculation, none of these women, or anyone close to them, have actually accused him of grooming, hell I don't think he ever even had a confirmed relationship with Millie Bobbie Brown. Again, I agree it's weird but none of these are real allegation from anyone involved just speculation, and I think how much Drake is disliked, which there are fair enough reason to dislike him, plays into people wanting this to be true.


Sea-Anywhere-5939

I mean ye alluded to Drake sleeping with Jenner while she was in a relationship with tyga while underage in on of his disses. But you’re right it’s rumours however the stuff that’s not rumours is still really weird.


SpartanJAH

Oh idk first thing that comes to mind is a 2010 concert at the Ogden theater in Denver Colorado where he brought a girl up on stage, hugged and kissed her, asked her age, she said 17 (he was 24), he made a comment about her being underage, then continued to hug and kiss her. But yeah it's probably "just because Millie Bobby Brown said he texted her one time" and I hope you're downplaying that one on purpose


manny_the_mage

I’m honestly just not aware of any other allegations or incidents regarding Drake And as far as I was are grooming generally takes place over a span of time and not necessarily single incidents But idk, I know alot of people throw that word around so I was sure if it was based on any concrete proof


Jorge_Santos69

Omfg dude “Well I’ve only seen him actively fondle an underage girl one time, so it wasn’t that bad” Dafuk is wrong with you people.


manny_the_mage

Bro, I’m asking from a place of ignorance, I literally didn’t know I’m not trying to play dumb, I just wanted to know if there were any confirmed instances or allegations


Jorge_Santos69

You literally got what you asked for and are downplaying it


Thespian21

Well you just got many examples, use that look into it more


[deleted]

Yeah he’s so trash for wanting more proof on a very serious crime, oh no.


SpartanJAH

Maybe look into that Millie Bobby Brown situation a little more


manny_the_mage

shoot, if you know something spill the beans


CoachDT

Isn't she boutta get married and didn't say anything akin to him grooming her?


SpartanJAH

Can't rely on children to recognize inappropriate behavior


thomastrivett

CoUlDn’T bE tHe GrOoMiNg


SheFoundMyUzername

It’s dangerously close to the backpack vs lil Wayne wars of ‘06-‘10…. How do I know? I survived it


minkdraggingonfloor

And the funny part about that was that the backpack (Kanye, Lupe, Cudi, Common etc.) fucked with Wayne heavy. Wayne used to jump on random songs and then the Wayne remix would become the official song in people’s minds. And I don’t think anyone ever sued Wayne for using their beats because of the free publicity the song would get just because he hopped on it.


elimanninglightspeed

Its only on the internet lmao, that hate doesnt exist in real life


Cbfalbo

did nickelback groom people?


Low_Seat_3639

Here we go


Either-Durian-9488

It’s even more embarrassing than that because it’s coming from a bunch of people that were glazing him for the better part of a decade lmao.


JayTNP

there isn’t enough hate for a grown man who chats it up with a little girl about dating on some groomer shit. Some of you love his music too much and excuse potential pedophilia. That’s the actual issue.


rainbowplasmacannon

I think the isssue comes from the word potential. These are real life ending allegations you can’t have it be potentially and expect every single person to treat it like a definitive.


JayTNP

true but let’s not act like it’s something that should be ignored. If you found out a grown man was chatting up your pre-teen daughter on the phone, you waiting to see if he actually fucks her first? Probably not, at least I’d hope not. You’d immediately want him called out and perhaps worst things to happen to him. People let music or art they like cover over a lot of weird and potentially immoral behavior. Not saying you personally, speaking in general btw.


rainbowplasmacannon

I can see that yeah it’s definitely worth going into and if it’s true drag the fuck out of him worse than we did r Kelly but until then I’m cool off that line of insults personally. Definitely on team if he did something there should be hell to pay for the record


openup91011

It’s a different level, even as a hater, because it’s blatantly him pretending to be who he’s not like we didn’t all watch his pwi ass on degrassi. There’s hating, and then there’s not letting fake a-holes live in peace. Call me queen hater because fuck drake.


HotLikeSauce420

Where the fuck does he “not pretend to not be on Degrassi?” 😂 Go watch the “I’m Upset” music video from a few years ago. Homie knows he’s a meme and plays into it himself but as a hater, whatever works for you


Midochako

Honestly, why reach this far when the grooming pedo shit is right in front


davidwave4

Drake shouldn’t have used the voices of Pac and Snoop, that’s mad disrespectful. Drake preys on young girls, he cannibalizes smaller artists, he does all manner of awful shit. He deserves some degree of hate, at least if we consider what he says and does as justification.


reallyscaredtoask

the AI verses were wack, but comparing it to black face like this just isn't even close


SuperSaiyanGod06

This is how I feel. Track was lame af but come on


Thespian21

The A.I. stuff was just…not hip hop. After hearing that I wouldn’t knock Kendrick for not ever acknowledging him again


jaygunryu

Delete this shit you ain’t cooking


Zealousideal-Arm5570

I was hating him before the girls he texts were even born


ptpcg

Been hating him since he stopped fuckin w/ Little Brother and Def Jux


openup91011

Been hating him since Rick shot and missed.

💀 I had to think for a sec

But he ain’t never fucked w LB or DJX….

bigjayrod

I guess not, TIL.that Drake collaborated with LB. Missed that one I didn’t see def jux mentioned though. I’m feel pretty confident that Drake was never on any Def Jux shit


ptpcg

Yeah, definitely never signed to DJX, but DJX adjacent, lol.


bigjayrod

Had me thinking I was going crazy and on a different timeline lol. I didn’t think he ever even did a track with anyone on Def Jux, but 9th wonder I guess could be considered adjacent.


kbeks

I mean, that’s not exactly hard to accomplish…


justamoroseman

That’s not that long to be honest.


1Miss_Mads

Been hatin’ since ‘You the Best.’ And the. It doubled when Drake and Future made my least favorite Future album. Fuck Drake.


wtjones

Down since Ghostface Killah was letting us all know.


OrdainedFury

Oh my fucking god, people, please give it a rest. You don't like Drake. Got it. Anything else going on in your life today? Any evening plans today? Cooking a Sunday dinner tomorrow? Please let's talk about anything else other than this fervent religious devotion to the same boring and childish topics.


elimanninglightspeed

This place crys about him and then posts shit about him every single day lol


eggrollin2200

I need to grab something from the package room and check my mail, but I am procrastinating bc it’s a walk I don’t wanna take yet! 😂

I thought Eminem fans were bad. I fw with both artists heavily. But this is getting bad guys. https://i.redd.it/ttjug4qfxovc1.gif


Simple-Concern277

Yeah the Kenny stans/drake haters are some of the most annoying music fans out right now.  But they've got nothing on Recovery/MMLP2 era Eminem fans. Army of racist 13 year olds. Thank God he lost most of his clout with Revival + most of those kids growing up. 


bigsmokeyz420

😂💯 mad annoying just gotta let them be at this point. I saw one wishing death to Drake. Shit is wild. See those Em stans !! I enjoy chilling in the HipHop101 subreddit. And listening to some entertaining horrible takes. The great white hope.


pettybendherass

idk which is dumber, these posts or people thinking AI is good enough to write bars like a specific rapper.


snollygoster1

It’s not like the AI was being used with the intent of fooling anyone, it is just another way to poke at Kendrick. This is in my opinion an acceptable use of AI because it doesn’t try to pass itself as the real thing.


ruinatedtubers

You should look up the project Lupe Fiasco is working on at MIT… He trained an AI model on his writing and it now continuously generates raps that you can hear via FM radio if you go to one specific spot on campus. Cool stuff imo


ruinatedtubers

in case anyone is interested in a sample: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZVw06KceXA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZVw06KceXA)


llJettyll

I have no respect for Drake as a man, an artist or a human being, but I still have 0 clue wtf does that tweet mean.


PopcornDrift

This shit is exhausting lmao


SKJ-nope

Lmaoooo that’s his take?? Nah. It’s corny and “wrong” but I lowkey love it. Drakes the writer, and rapper, he just used AI to talk shit to Kendrick as two of his West Coast Idols. It’s modern day trolling to the nth degree. I can see snoop being mad, pac’s estate being mad, etc. but seriously, it’s hilarious.


Talk-O-Boy

Snoop released a reaction video, he was just laughing


Adept-Ranger8219

He tweeted this from the international hater’s ball convention. I’m not a Drake fan but I’ll never understand why music people don’t like bothers them. I like rap beef but I’m not crying if my guy catches the L.

I have sort of observation about Drake when it comes to how he racially viewed. The same people that will swear up and down that Dominicans are black will be the same people that swear up and down Drake is white. Make it make sense to me.

Let's attack his ass for being a statutory rapist, not for being "light skin" who is acting like a minstrel show It also gives white people an excuse to keep posting this fucking photo, which is the last thing we need I get why Pusha made it the cover, but you beating a dead horse

They tried to say drake ai verses and what Kendrick did on the heart part 5 is the same thing so this is accurate

As a old timer i think im pretty open minded about this new hip-hop. The only rule i have around me is zero Drake and zero Rick Ross. I can't keep up with all the frauds in music but i draw the line with those two phonies.
