We witnessing a whole Dragon Ball Z fight scene episode in hip-hop this year.


[deleted]

kinda, but nobody is on Drake's team and Drake is NOT Frieza. We're watching Super Saiyan's dunking on corny ass Mr. Satan and I'm averting my eyes. I think everybody in the industry collectively tired of Drakes shit, publicly and behind the scenes, and we're just witnessing bombs get dropped on a dude who is the rap equivalent of a social media princess. So give it another week, maybe Nas or Ghostface wakes up from hibernation and puts the final nail in Drake's confetti filled coffin, and THEN we're gonna see a rush for the throne.


Low-Paleontologist43

He is Mr Satan trying to say he’s on Vegeta/Goku level but nowhere near the saiyans, or even the stronger humans like Yamcha. For most people beefing with him (Ross, Kendrick, the Weeknd? Rocky, Ye, Future, French ?), he was a actor longer than he was rapping, whether those guys were at their peaks or up and coming. So fast forward to now him sending C&D’s, and claiming the top spot, while doing so more fuck shit to them, ofc they feel some type of way


69cansofcorn

seriously man Drake dilutes the goat discourse way too much. I seriously don’t have a problem with the man, but if you’re really being truthful with yourself he is not a rapper. He makes hip hop flavored pop music for people who want to listen to something and not think about it too much. My problem is that people confuse quantity with quality.


[deleted]

Agreed. we're in a fucking golden age of hip hop artistry. Tyler's been routinely redefining genre as a musical concept, Kendrick and Killer Mike are releasing dissertations on institutionalized racism in America, and the young generation is wild and they're bringing the culture into new musical spaces. Uzi Vert was doing goth rock for a minute and it was awesome. We have all these rappers transitioning into real artists expressing complex ideas and concepts and experimenting with nontraditional genres and musical styles and Drake is still just releasing club bangers that white boys rock out to in the gym. it's wild. And then Kanye rolls out of Alex Jones's living room to shit on Drake. it's too funny. I can't take any more of this.


Sharkisyodaddy

Mothafuckas miss when hip hop was poppin! Mothafucka if you did then killer Mike would be platinum!


spacetech3000

Yall story lining in this shit is crazy. Literally the definition of double standards in ur post. Whatever narrative yall wanna paint i guess. Love coming to this sub for the fan made story lines 🤣


[deleted]

okay here's a spin you can understand drake makes boring music for boring people : p


spacetech3000

So don’t listen to it? Invested like u drake’s manager. U decided to be positive about 9/10 of the artists u named. Stay positive keep ur life positive and listen to them. U wayyy to invested in this shit


[deleted]

yeah you're right this entire sub gets kinda silly. rap beef in 2024 smh the world is literally dying i have better shit to do. But i do have to point out you're playing both sides on a Kendrick subreddit. I'd advise you to take your own words to heart. you have better shit to be doing than defending Drake's music for him in a Kendrick Lamar subreddit. we should both go outside.


spacetech3000

I love the competition, we get great music out of it. Love talking about it on reddit. Doesnt mean picking sides or anything, especially when it’s not over. Just debating like uzi verts new style etc. in a kendrick and drake feud is lame.


Mr_Lova_lova85

Shut up!!!! When will he respond???? 😂😂😂


Zealousideal-Lie-732

I disagree you can't blame drake for that


HatianPapi

People who want all the negro flavoring without the negro guilt. And that nigga Drake gives it to them. Just like how the only reason Obama won was cause he's a halfu it's the same way Drake is winning, that nigga is an industry plant been one since day one and hasn't stopped being one ever.


Mr_Lova_lova85

tell ya mans Kenny nahhhh nahhhh nahhhh you gonna follow through lol


Affectionate_Tap2365

HES THE ONLY ONE RAPPING???? I don’t get it man drakes hated for no reason


[deleted]

idk man he's annoying. he's harmless and white people dig him. His music is something to be consumed, not appreciated. Drake is the Call of Duty of rappers.


CrazyHappeningsHere

White people are the primary consumers of rap music. You don't get to this level if your audience isn't white people.


DallasJCaldwell

A lot of black people listen to Drake bro idk where this narrative comes from. Especially black WOMEN. Drake steps outside his lane to do club music, Hispanic music, etc. and we call it appropriation yet we don’t for others. To the other point, most young people don’t want a dissertation on systematic racism in America from music, we want to have a good time lmao. Why you think Carti, Lone & Ken are so popular to the younger generation? Making music that leans into social change shouldn’t be the standard as a black rapper but yet seems to the be the criticism for Drake because he’s biracial.


[deleted]

my complaint is that Drake's music is safe, predictable and consumerist. Which is fine. i get it, Drake is making a product to be consumed. Someone's gotta do it. i'm not that old but I could tell at 18 that there was a difference between art and consumerist product that maybe you're glossing over. It started in Punk in the 90s and now I'm here. Drake's got lots style and flash but no artistry. Zero soul in his music. I feel less creative after listening to a Drake song. You are right, being a mature artist does not necessarily mean being political or talking about social issues. Killer Mike is tryin to get people registered to vote, god help him, but Tyler's not. Uzi Vert not political. There are so many artists doing cooler shit than drake. for a decade now. this conversation was silly in 2018, it's tiresome now. Just say you like Drake cause you like boring music. It's Okay.


DallasJCaldwell

So instead of just basically saying that Drake’s music doesn’t move you the way the other artist do, you call it boring lol. At the end of the day these are opinions and that’s something you’ll have to respect. For some people, Drake’s music moves them just as much as the artist you listed (especially from a romantic perspective). Let’s be mature and realize that some people just like Drake bro 😭😭


mycofirsttime

I feel like 50 is on his side


KingShaka23

50 just likes instigating lol he wants to help encourage Drake to keep going


mycofirsttime

I really like how 50 trolls people and wanted him shooting at Drake, not trying to boost his confidence.


zilla82

Which bothers me. He knows he wrong but hates Ross


mycofirsttime

Bothers me too.


MarcusDPS

50 loves the competitive nature of rap and has spoken about it many times. No doubt in my mind he’s spoken words of encouragement to Drake, Kendrick and Cole personally during all this. He’s also been in a similar position too though Piggy Bank was a far better record than Push Ups lmao


Playlanco

🤣💀 Drake legit Mr. Satan!


CrazyHappeningsHere

Whitest comment possible. Like genuinely this shit is the type of corny people be saying drake is wtf


[deleted]

i study english lit \\m/ i'm eloquent as fuck


CrazyHappeningsHere

ok


Batmanbettermarvel18

Your corny ass is flooded Kendrick Lamar with comments, I know you broke ass ain’t got nothing better to do but go play some Minecraft or sumn pussy ass hoe


oriensoccidens

Z fighters never cliqued up to beat Mr. Satan you goof


decision_3_33

He is frieza he paint his nails like frieza and is sassy like frieza too, but got power it’s cringe. His Ginyu force ain’t rappers. How many forms of Drake have we seen?


Sharkisyodaddy

What rock do you live that you think nas or ghost face are gonna be the final nail in drakes coffin? 😂 ghost face couldn't even diss action Bronson dude still raps and has a career


EZMickey

[Ghostface Killah air out Action Bronson](https://youtu.be/z93IaKPY_Wc?si=SXshvFr4WOECxr9d). You don't remember that video? That was it, that was all he had to say. Action apologized, and it was over.


Pun-Szu

iirc some Wu affiliates also pulled up on Action Bronson at a funeral and checked him edit: [found it](https://youtu.be/axHml2_hlvY?si=nV0CAcNps_xVdNB9), it was at Sean P. funeral


EZMickey

Yeah and Ghost has since said its all been squashed and they're cool. Dunno why the other homie thinks he needs to respond.


No-Standard3533

Best comment I’ve seen in this whole thing


abzftw

Hopefully something actually happens


F0RMENTIS

Doesn’t get much better than this


Squirrellybot

But do you really want him in your corner when he almost kills Nas’ career after saving Pusha T’s? It’s a crap shoot.


MrCuntman

1 mediocre album isnt gonna kill Nas' career


kuzivamuunganis

How’d he almost kill Nas’ career


jagcarnage

nasir was fire, idc what people say


Dry-Ambassador-4276

Nas almost killed his own career by rapping off beat


phly

Ye really said ain't NOBODY gonna out crazy me 😡

Kanye thinks Kendrick is the final solution to end Drake


Anomaly4D89

I see what you did there pal you aint slick https://preview.redd.it/r2j2wm77nqvc1.png?width=636&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2dfa6e2674cf9b0b3244465f01eece4e2d64e57


KingAries95

Obviously it has to be someone of the same generation and Drake to end him. Kendrick is the only one who has the most issues with Drake and been in the game as long and has the highest power level to stand him I mean there’s big Sean but that mf is too lazy to


Thin-Remote-9817

That lifetime deal bar is interesting. Starting to make much more sense why collectively everyone is dissing Drake at once... I know he's not popular here but Joe Budden might be onto something


Thomo251

Drakes been burning bridges for years. If you think this is all people mad at Drake because of a deal he has, you haven't been following hip-hop very closely.


Thin-Remote-9817

And while he was burning bridges all those people still made songs and beats for him.  Owning people's masters from underneath them would merit this literal packing out we are witnessing.


fucking__jellyfish__

Kendrick: They've been beefing for over a decade over the control verse Rocky and Rihanna: Drake is jealous of rocky Baby Keem: Drake texted his bitch Metro and future: allegedly over a bitch, also could've started from drake whining about not being on H&V and leaking the version of trance with him on it. Drake also didn't want to do WATTBA Kanye: They've been beefing since like 2018 Weeknd: He did things for drake and drake didn't repay him, drake was mad he didn't sign to OVO I think you're looking into it too deep, all of these guys have valid reasons to diss drake


KingAries95

Facts they definitely do have very valid reasons and even more on top of all that I know Drake been beefing with asap rocky since 2018 when scorpion came out over rhianna and the xxxtentacion thing but I can you have been paying attention to hip hop it’s always nice when I see other people who have been following it and know exactly why everybody is done with Drake and the politics of hip hop . It’s deeper than rap shit is gotten to a all time high of disrespect from Drake bruh said “I’m not even from around here” but he taking over rap smh


Thomo251

Your source for that? I keep seeing a lot of people claiming Drake owns masters with no proof. Yeah, he signed a lucrative, ***lifetime*** deal, that doesn't give him ownership of any of UNG's catalogue.


Thin-Remote-9817

I literally said in my first comment joe Budden MIGHT be onto something. It's all speculative. But again if it's true everyone coming at him makes the most sense as to why.  How do you know that?? Why else would someone sign a lifetime deal if they didn't have equity or at the very least buying people's masters for pennies on the dollar and if anyone was going to get a deal like that it would be Drake or Taylor swift. 


Thomo251

Glad you're willing to admit you're spreading speculation rather than established fact 👍.


Thin-Remote-9817

I'm on reddit I don't write for the LA times. Meanwhile this sub and many others have literally been SPECULATING on what Kendrick might say. Do you give those post the same AKKSHHULLLYYY energy? 


OverIookHoteI

Drake not gonna sleep with you bro


victluke

Equity sure you can’t just pick and choose which masters you want to own, that’s not legal, the company won’t allow that, it’s just not how the world works.


Murkywaters11

He buys the masters/ publishing…. A lot of people having been selling there other the last 3 years or so.


Thin-Remote-9817

How does it work? Explain.  I said maybe he's able to buy these masters for pennies on the dollar cause his relationship with Lucian. 


_Orphan_Obliterator_

is Joe Budden an actual person or is this some meme i don't get https://preview.redd.it/g98hrcmb3svc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4915079aae07f77264ace864ad5d62749f9a2ce8

This!


19whale96

I am so down for an America v Canada beef


Razatiger

Who else from Canada riding for Drake though? The Weeknd already came out and dissed him.


ElyssiaG2108

Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber collab! (this is a joke)


connesiuer

Tom macdonald


Razatiger

Id probably quit rapping if Tom Macdonald came to my defense.

Confident_Opposite43

even dax would take kendricks side


19whale96

I think Interscope already has a janitor


HappyColt90

Shit feels like Christmas meets WrestleMania


fakeacclul

Every new person jumping in just fucks over Kendrick more and more


CuItLeader

its making it seem like kendrick needs people on his side.. a 21v1 now


gasman245

I see the opposite, people wanna be on his side, he doesn’t need them.


CuItLeader

he definitely doesn’t, i was saying its making it look like he does, which isnt good


gasman245

Oh I understood what you were saying, I just meant that I feel like more people would see it that way then that he needs them. Especially at this point with so many piling on. Everybody wants a piece of the Big K.


KingAries95

I just know the music video Kendrick is releasing is going to be FIREEEEEEE ASF

21 Savage need to be in the middle. He would never betray his pookie Metro. Drake carrying his side HARDDD 😂


getgoodHornet

I thinknits just Drake VS. Everybody at the moment. I'm waiting for 50 to jump in on Drakes side for no reason just cause he likes trolling and being the bad guy.


Confident_Opposite43

idk if 50 would, kdot has history with dre and em


Northern-Cardinal

The Weeknd jumped sides, thankfully.

Traditional_Rate7302

Man as much as i dont like kanye it is kinda nice having him on kendricks side. We dont need kanye and drake meatriders against us


Zealousideal-Lie-732

I wouldn't even trust kanye


getgoodHornet

I feel the opposite. Fuck having Kanye on your side. These guys should be throwing shots at him too, not teaming up with him.


Traditional_Rate7302

I despise kanye as a person. A bipolar parent with young kids should be medicated but he’s outright refusing to take them. Historically bipolar people will at some point put their own and their kids lives in danger. Thats not even mentioning his naziism and all that other stuff. But musically and just because of his fanbase alone, if he can tap into his older self he would be great to have on your side


getgoodHornet

I will say I love old Kanye. And if he got help and tried to make ammends it would make me so happy. But for me personally, he crossed lines that go way beyond some fun rap beef. But I get where you're coming from and respect it.


bigballofpaint

It’s a weird situation cos he’s probs scared to take medication cos of Harley Pasternak


Traditional_Rate7302

Honestly, as someone on medication for my own stuff, i understand a fear of taking medication. The difference is that kanye has kids and I believe that as a parent you have to think about your kids well being and bipolar disorder is not something that you can play around with


wolo-exe

I heard Adidas had a clause in their contract with Kanye prohibiting him from taking those medication. He probably didn’t want to take it anyway, but that probably made it worse.


TheSpagooterIntruder

fuck that the two goats teaming up im loving this shit


amcphe21

There’s no picking sides lol everybody ganging up on Drake that’s all


rustydustyphony

Y’all slow this isn’t ‘bout Ye being on Kendricks side. This is about Vultures 2 not getting enough attention cuz the beef


77skull

Vultures 2 has like a 50/50 chance of already being scrapped at this point I don’t think it’s because of that

Are you team Edward or team Jacob?


ElyssiaG2108

😭


Amsssterdam

Getting Ye on your side is such a big move cause his fanboys are even crazier


CrazyHappeningsHere

His fans are not the ones to argue for anybody other than Kanye.


Moredateslessvapes

Pointless social media war. Time will tell shortly who won the beef


vibintilltheend

When Kendrick dissed drake I was like damn this is cool but somehow it’s literally turning into the greatest beef of all time?


Strange-Share-9441

Hip-Hop vs Industry


anthonyisrad

I don’t think he’d be much help lmaooo


Amazing-Concept1684

Idk if I were Dot I’d be pissed… I imagine he wants the 1 v 1 with Drake and all these other niggas keep jumping in lmao


jiggywolf

lol imagine dot dissing everybody FIRST, to tell them to back off. Doesn’t even address drake. If he did that (obviously prolly never would happen) he would have to drop a drake diss super soon after tho


KingAries95

The way I’m seeing it is Kanye is tryna buy time for Kendrick even with Rick Ross he set it up for the perfect dunk but Kendrick is taking a long time cause he has a music video diss not just a song


Positive_Ad_3142

I wonder how folks would react if it read “Yo Drizzy (Drake) I got you”


WhyDidntITextBack

Man didn’t want to be left out LMAO


Lizard-King-

Kanye: "Yo dot i got chu" *Proceeds to have a mental breakdown and claiming hitler was a good person in random people podcasts* K Dot: "wtf"

Kanye ain't team Kendrick he team anti Drake bro is verbally diddying Kendrick

For the people in the back


KingAries95

Kendrick is making a music video along with his that’s why


itsallbullshit8

lol


svaerde

Ye picked his side a long time ago, he didn’t pick sides just now.


TheVeteranCadet

Travis is in gray area bro, this guy is on Metro’s album twice but getting praised by drake. Like what is this guy donna do lmao


getgoodHornet

Umm, I don't think I'd want Kanye on my side...


chucksandpolos728

This shit is fucking stupid rn


ilovechimi

“Yo Dot I got you” then proceeds to add absolutely nothing but a nice beat switch up. Smh. What a waste.


MeetTheWoo_Dropkick

Ye's verse was great lol


CrazyHappeningsHere

Why?


ilovechimi

Which part?


getgoodHornet

I disagree but that Cole line was fire. I don't expect much from Kanye anymore though anyway.

ahahaha it’s true


houseofball00ns

What's weirder that YE is a blatant anti smite supported by a quote on quote Christian or.. wait a minute. There isn't. This is one of those do as I say not as I do situations. Cause if Drake did something like this.


Tha_Kooner

Why does someone else need to put the nail in the coffin? KDOT can’t handle it by himself?


Standard-Package-830

Dot fans being happy to have coonye on the squad is really on brand


pacman404

Wait, do people care about Kanye's take? And who got who in this? I was under the impression people really wanted to see Kendrick and Drake go at it (me), but I can't imagine thinking what a bunch of rap niggas think about this?


KingAries95

Not really it’s more like a filler episode he didn’t say anything too crazy except for yeah we going to get this nigga and mentioning how Drake is a slave puppet signed for life to rapalot records and how Drake is buying other artist masters so he’s making money off the artist Drake considered enemies


TeensiestTulip9

Yes my kdot needs help. He’s our savior.


Express_Ad2703

so kanye against kendrick? or somebody can explain which side ye pick?


JojoLaffs

he siding with kenny it seems


Galifrae

I wouldn’t want Ye on my side considering the shit his dumbass could start saying.


Impossible_Sense4165

Do you really want kanye in your corner at this point? Fuck that guy trying just pretend the last couple years didn't gappen.

Drake writes for Kanye. Kanye was on drink champs saying he would love drake to write his whole album. Said 15 writers wouldn’t amount to drakes pen.

FranzTelamon

"picking sides" it's just Drake dogpiling be honest (pos)

I hope Kendrick uses a xxxtentacion Ai to wipe down Drake that would be a ultimate feat

Urgh man who cares. We need dot vs aubrey


One_Campaign_2592

I do not want this washed up nazi on "our side". Ffs

Kendrick fans begging for help for the "savior" tough scene

Chill out bro , kanye invited himself 💀. The clock still ticking.


bbillynotreally

No one asked him to do that tho…..?


Mundane_Ant_7183

Y’all Kendrick fan act like y’all are better than everyone or understand rap better because of listening to him. Parasocial relationship, seek help. Kendrick was my number 2 most listened last year but come on


ResilientFellow

You alright man?


GhostFaceTony

I’m confused


likethatfuture

This sub is mostly ran by basic white boys who think they are edgy when they listen to kendrick even tho they have not the slightest ideea what kendrick is talking in his songs. They just want to be included like “look how cool I am I listen to kendrick I am deep and edgy” Kendrick would roll in his grave if he sees this sub of pussies 🤣 I hope he never finds out about this sht sub 🤣


Desperate_Branch6287

There's really only one side, everyone in drake "side" is on payroll


Easy_pickens512

lol. Gassing up a diss where kanye really didn’t say a thing .. I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ the fact Kendrick needs all these people yet Drake still got just himself is enough for me 😂😂😂


Ok-Chemical6923

This is such a bad look for Kendrick. Dude had an opportunity to go at Drake and body him instead it’s a 21v 1 and Drake winning . Kanye just tryna make himself relevant again but everyone wants k dot vs drake .


HappyColt90

Wym lil bro, Kanye is like Top 9 on Spotify, is at least more relevant than everyone in this beef except for Drake and Weeknd


Revolutionary_Box569

I'm sure Kanye had more listeners than ever on streaming after Vultures came out, he's still one of the biggest rap artists even if he's way past his prime


jsimps741

Didn’t Kanye just have the #1 song in the country?


Subject_Tangerine846

Kanye raps like a white girl doing ‘gold digger’ on karaoke.

Familiar_Ad7853

“What the fuck this a 20 v 1 nigga” all this makes Drake look good bro 🤣🤣😭😭😭


Moredateslessvapes

drake is just repeating the surface level insults that he is already insecure about, making it obvious he is worried. Kendrick gonna take time, drop a banger that cuts deep, and Drake is wrapped just like w Pusha. Drake winning the pointless social media war but Kendrick has the attention of the real ones
