    first minute of 6:16 is the best rapping Kendrick did out of all his diss tracks & it really had nothing to do with Drake lol.

    I think 616 is way better than TH6 so agree to an extent but I like that one too. All of the songs are pretty nice tbh. Push ups > 616 tho sorry

    The thing is people wanted him to address the pedo thing & then when he did, they moved goal posts lol. It was a lose-lose.

    That being said, some of the bars are poorly written (def wrote it within 24 hours) but there's also some good one liners in there as well. It certainly wasn't something Drake put a ton of time into. Just look at the contrast between it & family matters lol.

    Exactly. He was put in an impossible position by Kendrick (and himself as well of course) because the public opinion was gonna be against him no matter what he did.

    Don't think its as bad as people say it is I kinda enjoy it, but if you compare it to the tone he had on the other 2 songs, it's rushed and he does sound like he just wanted it to end with this song.

    I also think, in Drake's head, he thought the false daughter story would sink Kendrick in the court of public opinion. In addition to the domestic violence allegation as well. People turned out to not really care much about either relative to the pedo s--- lol.

    Yeah I think he underestimated how much Kendrick is liked by the public and he really isn't. As a star he is huge, and I don't think people are gonna give a s--- about this if he drops a huge hit in a few months. But in the hiphop world people pick Kendrick over him (which I agree based on the songs mostly). I don't think people really care if things are true though, they already made up their mind lol

    Not putting time into a response where you're clearly lying about you setting Kendrick up and defending pedo allegations while misunderstanding songs is not very smart lmao.

    He should have taken it's time to at least make some portions seem slightly believable.

    I don’t understand why people keep acting like Drake hasn't been inauthentic as f--- his whole career. That’s why people believe Kendrick over Drake. Believing someone who hasn’t been proven to be a liar over someone who is a proven liar isn’t rocket science. It isn’t about who you’re a fan of, it’s about using your brain. If someone is continuously inauthentic, why would they suddenly become authentic out of nowhere? I guess some people fell for Drake’s act.

    I’m not certain about anything either of them are claiming. Take everything with a grain of salt in these beefs.

    It really didn’t matter what he put out at that point. Hip-hop community’s mind was made up already.

    Exactly.

    Me neither but one has much more widely spread info that easy to find that could allude to wrongdoing and doesn't come from somebody who's been inauthentic their entire career and has obviously gotten things hilariously wrong in this beef itself, a lot of people already had their minds made up but Drake did not help himself in swaying over the opinion of anybody.

    Whether true or not it is funny that not a lot of people cared about domestic abuse allegations, pretty f----- lmao.
