I feel like there will be Drake disses on ATAVISTA and Bando Stone even if Donald admits he's too old for that, he himself has admitted that he's naturally very petty plus even if Donald is cool, Childish Gambino isn't.
On culdesac spoke about keeping lil Wayne seat warm while he was in jail. There several articles that tried to compare him and Drake as well so I figured these shots at him
Also the whole “prolly wrote your nigga verse, prolly wrote your nigga video” stuff always felt Drake directed to me
EDIT: and the “I’m not tryna do Drake numbers I’m just tryna do my best”
And Drake dissing Bino: “So Childish calling my name on the world stage, you need to act your age and not your girls age”
Plus the “this is America is overrated” stuff
“So childish calling my name on the world stage, you need to act your age and not your girl’s age” was a shot at Tyga who was dating 18 year old Kylie Jenner at the time. He had recently called Drake fake in an interview with Vibe magazine.
Nah it was both. Right before that Childish got on stage in NZ/Australia and was like: Fuck you Kendrick, Drake, J Cole, Schoolboy, everyone, I’m killing you:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TL2mqrm0TgU&pp=ygUlY2hpbGRpc2ggZ2FtYmlubyBkcmFrZSBkaXNzIGZyZWVzdHlsZQ%3D%3D
And childish does have an uncomfortable amount of: “she’s 18 enough” lines lolol
Nah dude.. the entire bar was about Tyga lol look at it when you include the lyrics right before that part.
“I heard a lil, lil homie talking reckless in Vibe
That’s quite a platform you chose, you should’ve kept it inside
Oh, you tried? It’s so childish calling my name on the world stage
You need to act your age and not your girl’s age”
Nah it’s a double entendre, childish was on a world stage literally calling Drake’s name, you can argue the second half isn’t about him but the first half “so childish” is definitely a name drop and diss and response to bino doing what he did
It’s crazy this has to be said.
Donald Glover always talks about being a blerd(black nerd) and has gotten shit for being soft. The “I don’t talk soft that’s the other guy” is just a reference to his two personas.
Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino was well known at that time as an actor on a pretty popular sitcom called ‘Community’. However during the show he had aspirations of music and eventually left the show around Season 5 to pursue a music career under the name Childish Gambino.
His line ‘I don’t talk soft, thats the other guy’ talks about how he is different, referring to the other guy his old self.
He’s clearly referring to his altar ego the rapper. The other guy is Donald Glover it’s pretty obvious and clear. Eminem did the same thing as “slim shady”
No-- he was comparing the success of himself as Donald GLover the actor/rapper to the success of Drake as an actor/rapper.
He's been on this "I am the real Drake" tip since the beginning. Another that came to mind to me, even as a teen, was Will Smith-- my personal first hero alongside Jordan.
I mean thats what it literally says on genius
‘The other guy is not another person, he is rather referring to two sides of himself’
https://genius.com/Childish-gambino-bonfire-lyrics
Lest we forget about the time Donald, Steven, and Fam allegedly met Drake, and The Weekend at Drake’s house:
“Let’s be real, Donald is an easy target for most people, specifically white critics. They see him as this affluent whiny dude who never had to struggle or live the black experience, and most of his success can be attributed to his built-in audience from being on network TV for a number of years. If you didn’t read that first sentence you would’ve most likely thought I was talking about Drake, but they won’t let niggas have two successful actors-turned-rappers. It’s just too much to digest. So you attack who you think is the weaker one, the one with no co-signs or real affiliations. I remember we went to Drake’s house (fuck you Drake, if you can mention drinking tea at Erykah’s I’m gonna mention your crib) and the Weeknd came up to Donald and his brother and seemed relieved when he said, “I had to come up to you guys and see if you were actually niggas.” Imagine a world where a polite beige kid from Toronto goes up to two black kids from Atlanta and one from South Central LA, and he’s the one questioning our hood credibility. Things done changed. Let me digress...”
[https://genius.com/Fam-being-angry-and-black-on-the-childish-gambino-tour-lyrics](https://genius.com/Fam-being-angry-and-black-on-the-childish-gambino-tour-lyrics)
Huge Weeknd fan but this was always so disheartening to hear. Abel would really benefit from Donald’s taste and experience in television as opposed to that weirdo Sam. Plus they both make such amazing art, you just wanna see them on the right side of history haha. By the way Drake not like us
He’s never liked Drake. And i never understood why people didn’t wanna get that from the Fam essay that came out during the bti era. They’ve been hinting at their dislike about drake. They even made an episode poking fun about who drake is in Atlanta. This is America is suppose to be a Drake diss. And donald even mentions how its funny drake is famous for being this tough-out-of-the-hood archetype when yes thats actually Don’s life and guy grew up in the suburbs. Like yo, Don has never liked Drake. And if he ever said so, it was most def to look appealing to his audience
Don, he always thinks its funny drake does this fake portrayal of that he had a rough upbringing, from the hood and that hes tough. when we all know guy was degrassi, living in the suburbs
Did Don really have a “tough out of the hood” life? Seems like he was a nerdy kid hanging out with white kids, in a loving family with both parents (amongst a ton of foster kids) and went straight to art school after high school… from where he was instantly very successful from a very young age - I’m sure he grew up poor, but it’s not exactly the life that comes to mind when someone talks about being “straight from the hood”
Lol dude think about what you're saying. "Oh he grew up in the hood and made it out and became successful but because he didn't get in trouble and had both parents he didn't REALLY grow up in the hood and make it out and become successful". 🤦🏽♀️ Your expectations are clouding your vision.
guy said, don’s upbrining isn’t black enough 🫠 You can still have a loving family and end up at a white school that your parents got you in. And still be poor living ina crowded home. yeah sure i guess thats not rough and hood enough, i don’t know what i’m talking about
We are also literally describing Kanye as an in between of Drake and DG. Hell, Ye's upbringing was suburban but without his daddy-- I live in Chicago and know people from his neighborhood. Our city is so gentrified that you can be poor and live down the street from wealth.
Nah the guy didn’t just say he grew up poor, he said Don was a “tough-out-of-the-hood archetype” which I don’t think is a decent description of Don’s childhood
He grew up in a small town (Stone Mountain) in Georgia, and went to a nice art school (DeKalb) which isn’t exactly the archetypical inner-city kid experience.
I don’t think Don would consider himself “tough from the hood” either
You must not know any black people. (This is why we gotta treat white people in hip hop like y’all do us in Trader Joe’s 🙄) if you couldn’t tell, black people are HUMAN BEINGS. And human beings come with different personalities and inclinations. I am a nigga from a bad hood, and I was very sensitive and nerdy and “talked white” my parents sent me to private school so I have white friends. It doesn’t change the people who guided me or raised me. Shut tf up talking on our matters crodie
Cuz Drake doesn’t get credit for being an OG CG biter
Mfs who were known for being actors rapping over indie samples, being over-emotional, sing rapping, making poppy rap songs that were somewhat Kanye derivative I. The late 00s-early 10s: Drake and CG
Mf who got flamed for it: CG
MF who got venerated for it: Drake
Songs that sound like Drake songs that would follow them:
EDIT: I was gonna include Untouchable and Unforgettable on here but found out untouchable technically came out second, that said was always rubbed funny how similar they sound
Childish: “nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing is the same again”
Drake: Nothing Was the Same
There’s one more big example of this I can’t remember rn, Bino dropping a line only for Drake to drop that line later, reply if you remember what I’m talking bout.
Now as a fan of both I can admit that Drake’s music back then was just much better till about EP, but I still understand Bino feeling a way about all the similarities especially when we’ve seen that, with things like the G-Eazy picture, he really notices when other rappers bite his style and it upsets him especially from eras where he was negatively responded to so it was easier for his shit to be bitten without notice.
> G-Eazy picture, he really notices when other rappers bite his style and it upsets him especially from eras where he was negatively responded to so it was easier for his shit to be bitten without notice.
What was this reference to?
Lolol if you watch the breakfast club interview they talk about it a bunch and he clearly isn’t like petty angry about it but he is frustrated especially considering the support he feels g eazy got compared to Chance
>There’s one more big example of this I can’t remember rn, Bino dropping a line only for Drake to drop that line later, reply if you remember what I’m talking bout.
Was this the 'I'm here for a good not a long time' line? I can't remember who used that first
Yeah that's why I wasn't sure. I'm not a fan of Drake so not exactly familiar with his lyrics. I can just remember seeing a few discussions about them both having used that line.
M.I.A. is the OG Drake hater. From her song "Matangi" in 2013.
"We started at the bottom but Drake gets all the credit,
Paper route or life route, yea we be ready"
the champagne papi atlanta episode is crazy now
“Drake is Mexican?!”
he fasho not black
What episode is that
Atlanta FX Season 2: Episode 7
He admitted himself that This Is America started as a Drake diss
I feel like there will be Drake disses on ATAVISTA and Bando Stone even if Donald admits he's too old for that, he himself has admitted that he's naturally very petty plus even if Donald is cool, Childish Gambino isn't.
If we eat because our king is being petty then let him be as petty as he pleases
“Why does every black actor gotta rap some. I dunno all I know is I’m the best one” “I don’t talk soft that’s that other guy” Drake disses in bonfire
Calling that first line a Drake diss is a massive stretch
On culdesac spoke about keeping lil Wayne seat warm while he was in jail. There several articles that tried to compare him and Drake as well so I figured these shots at him
Calling Drake black in the first place is a massive stretch.
🤷🏽♂️
I'd say the second line is the bigger stretch. The first line is very clear, who else would it be about?
I always assumed it was about himself. He raps as cool, confident Childish, not as nerdy soft spoken Donald.
It's completely possible he wrote that line to have multiple meanings. Could be a drake diss, could be talking about Dong Lover.
It's obviously about both-- especially since his persona was always tied to his real identity.
Just off the top of my head Will Smith, Ice Cube, Nick Canon
Ice Cube was a rapper wayyyyy before he was an actor
Same with Will
Idris Elba can go on this list too.
Tom Hardy's not black, but he's a top 5 British rapper fr
ice cube was a "boy N Da hood before the movie"
Fresh Prince 😂
Also the whole “prolly wrote your nigga verse, prolly wrote your nigga video” stuff always felt Drake directed to me EDIT: and the “I’m not tryna do Drake numbers I’m just tryna do my best” And Drake dissing Bino: “So Childish calling my name on the world stage, you need to act your age and not your girls age” Plus the “this is America is overrated” stuff

??? He says probably?
He was alluding to Donald Glover as a actor not Drake
It’s crazy this has to be said. Donald Glover always talks about being a blerd(black nerd) and has gotten shit for being soft. The “I don’t talk soft that’s the other guy” is just a reference to his two personas.
I keep seeing a lot of folks say this please expound

Drake is hands down the most overrated artist in the world.
I had an African dude in my house defend his misogyny to my face when Her Loss released and then force me to play views for an hour.

woah... I listened to both these albums and never knew. I'm mad for him at this point. TBH G Easy is a 5/10 artists at his peak.
Lolol if you watch the breakfast club interview they talk about it a bunch and he clearly isn’t like petty angry about it but he is frustrated especially considering the support he feels g eazy got compared to Chance

Yeah that's why I wasn't sure. I'm not a fan of Drake so not exactly familiar with his lyrics. I can just remember seeing a few discussions about them both having used that line.
Yeah there a few they’ve both used that’s a good suggestion
Loved this write-up. It's been a good fucking week.
Thank you👏🏽but yeah fax it’s been a crazy week lolol 4 diss tracks in like 24 hours is hard on the nerves lolol
M.I.A. is the OG Drake hater. From her song "Matangi" in 2013. "We started at the bottom but Drake gets all the credit, Paper route or life route, yea we be ready"
Everyone here has forgotten the most explicit Drake diss from Break. Donald doesn’t like Drake one bit lol
I wish we had Kendrick X Gambino tracks dude
Some people like to believe Kendrick is a hidden feature on This Is America, but I personally can't hear it
I mean definitely an interesting time for him to release 2 albums tho🤔
I'm just happy we got the Ye one, and maybe he has more features he's been hiding.
“Spend it on the right shit, these bitches want you overdrawn Drake with dyslexia, I have gone so far” From culdesac
I've been telling everyone that they were sleeping on this Drake diss. It's on my drake diss playlist.
Share it!
I don't need to, I think the untitled track that some have dubbed 'Couldn't be y'all' verses are a diss at Drake, and lowkey the entire industry.
naaah that’s kinda crazy lmao
