    The best move Kendrick had this beef was release MTG right after Fam Matters to immediately steal the spotlight

    Still listen to all of the songs from the beef tho

    I respect Drake for participating in the battle to begin with. He could’ve just went the popstar route saying he’s too big for the beef, but he didn’t. That’s more than Eminem does these days.

    Dawg you're getting into rigid Ben Shapiro hyper logical territory here. This is like saying "how come Drake said to give Kendrick a Grammy every time he opens his mouth on family matters? Saying Kendrick is so good at making music every time he opens his mouth he deserves a Grammy is praise!"

    Didn't he just give Cole his biggest song and Kendrick a number 1? lol and 21 his biggest selling album most likely. And Camila the only relevant song off the album :drakelaugh2:

    lol that 100% was not me. Use the search function. Drake undoubtedly lost the beef. I’m a Kendrick fan. I’m happy for him. And I have no idea what you’re on.

    Dot fans like yourself seem to be incapable of wrapping their head around the notion of Kendrick not hitting every shot he makes. That’s wild. Can’t even fathom a single line being a non-home run???

    Cmon man, that’s a reach. You’re more reasonable than that. Kendrick’s lyrics can handle a little criticism. We’re literally talking about 1 line across the full track.

    Not at all I don’t like his whole discography by any means, & a lot of his feature runs. I’ve just noticed you playing dumb since the start of this beef & it’s weird to me lol

    Could we maybe do some sort of study as to why its exclusively the 40+ year olds on here that are still trying to defend Drake? I cant really work it out

    It's just as much of a reach as saying 69 God is praise lol which is the point. I think people are being extremely obtuse about a line that's so obviously supposed to be funny/tongue in cheek — just like how Drake's line is supposed to be funny/tongue in cheek. It's fine if you don't find one or the other funny (they both are imo), but like I said they're both obvious jokes. Things can mean different things in different contexts (like how calling someone a freak can have positive or negative implications depending on the context).

    If you wanna point to a bad line in Not Like Us point to "OVO - the other vaginal option". That s--- is terrible. There's plenty to criticize about Kendrick's lyrics and musical choices. He's one of the most talented rappers to ever live but he still made dogshit like "How Much A Dollar Cost" and "Real" on two of the most acclaimed rap albums ever lol

    How much a dollar cost has fire production but conceptually it's like a 10th grade creative writing exercise

    I have more love for the song I think because I remember on my first TPAB listen it was the closest song sound wise to what I was expecting and initially wanting from the project

    in hindsight, glad the album was a lot deeper than that.

    real sucks though

    let him milk it tbh

    everyone was on his a---, Drake and co. included, to DROP. DROP. DROP. DROP.

    so I don't understand being upset if that's all he's doing. some of the Drake fans throughout this whole thing have been some of the most delusional MFers I've ever seen... and I'm an Eminem fan. Kendrick's got some nonsense on his side too, but I see more of the coping from Drake's side. Could just be because that's what the algorithm is showing me more of though.

    Explain to me how a music video and performing it at a concert is milking it?
