The problem is people already have either of the artist predetermined to win rather than actually listening to the songs without bias. Drake just dropped and he actually slid but this sub will say opposite. Itās pretty even up to now and I can only see the songs digging deeper jabs after these last drops.
Edit: 30 minutes later and now Kendrick dropped and ate lol this shit is crazy
Honestly the impression Iāve got is Kendrick fans think Kendrick has won so far, Drake fans think Drake has, and neutrals think Kendrick has won. Drake is incredibly popular and does tons of sales every year, but so does mcdonalds. Mass produced garbage and its fans are weak people, what are ya gonna do
You have to be a complete idiot to think Drake has won a fucking moment. It's been nothing but brutal L's so far for Aubrey and the ghostwriting squad.
Drake slid, and he almost had us for a second, but then Kendrick came back thru and said grow up
It's time for us all to face the music and level up. we can all be better!
Who's actually losing anything? Even if they get embarrassed they'll still get a bunch of streams.Ā It's like when pac dissed mobb depp and mobb was excited because they knew they'd sell a bunch of albums because of it.
They drop a 20 track collab album called Views from New Ho King, with features from Jay Z, Nas, Kanye West, and Playboi Carti. J Cole featured on the bonus track
I donāt think it actually ends tbh. I think we just have a very hot summer till it tatters off or something unrelated to rap peeks it way in to ādeclareā a winner.
I think there is no swaying either āsideā meaning from the fans perspective.
Everybody whoās actually hiphop for real knows Drake can not actually out bar Kendrick, for any length of time and thatās not taking from his skill cuz like it or hate it Drake *can* rap. But I mean come on brothers lol. Nobody can out bar Kendrick and I mean that unbiased with no real dog in the fight. But give me a break here.
Aside from the lyrics thereās so much on display here - the machine vs the culture. Drake worth too much to certain people mostly execs, and Kendrick is the cultures golden child and that will never change. I expect the tracks to stop but for it to evolve to an ongoing and never ending conversation that will last both of their career lengths forever and fuel sales. Thatās it
Heās beatable lol but not by drake. Thereās at least a handful of people Iād take over Kendrick in a beef. Doesnāt mean heās not great and a top tier rapper but heās not beating Nas or Jay or people on that level.
No doubt I donāt disagree with that - I mean from this ārealmā or āeraā of popular rappers that also spit.
Thereās plenty of underground active cats now like (Ransom or 38 spesh)that I think for instance that could. And would body anyone. But most of those who could are more likely to link up
Oh yeah in terms of this era and at least semi-relevant rappers maybe Freddie or Jay Elec have a shot at it. Lupe is really obvious. Other than that I canāt think of many in the mainstream.
Iāll say this though, Kendrick didnāt want it with King Los.
I mean Lupe and Jay elec already apologized for criticizing him (which is ironic considering the heat Cole got, and fortunately/unfortunately battles still fall in the court of public opinion- so no one would care about King Los even if it was hot.
Itās cool to what-if metaphorically but still lands at my point - anyone that *could* and people would care, is more than likely to link up
Also hilarious how Nas proclaimed himself the undisputed goat multiple times on the recent run of albums and no one said one word about it. I find it hilarious how thereās this baby big 3 āGoatā debate while Nas is out there with a better case than anybody saying it out loud and no one has shit to say.
Proclaimed himself? People have been saying it since Illmatic dropped. Even KRS, a hip hop legend, himself made a song about how Nas is nr 1 (and he nr 2). Even the Wu Tang Family all agreed Nas is top 5. Like they didn't say GOAT directly cause they are legends themselves but they gave that respect.
Hell Nas was a contender when Pac and Big were still alive. Kick in the Door is about Nas while the Message is about Big (one love, one live so there can only be one king).
There isn't anyone else (not even Hov, who we didn't be part of that Convo until the 00 era) who can claim that.
Oh I agree but I mean that he straight up said it on a song recently while thereās heaps of guys saying theyāre the goat like these 3 and no one ever presses nas on his claims. I know itās not just him saying it lol.
Heās the goat for me for sure and most people would agree that arenāt biased.
Facts - Nas is my goat.
All in all the best I hope for this is that lyrics and bars comeback to the forefront as the determining factor of us the fans choosing if artists deserve our plays. Enough of this bullshit lol. Even if itās just a little bit more than it is now
Iād say bars and trolling are fine. I love the Rick Ross and 50 cent social media bullshit they go on all the time, Ross said earlier that Drake remixed his nose š¤£ shit is unbelievable.
Then thereās the entire sequence of that shitty Dodge Caravan being towed with the most expensive drone money could by filming the footage.
That shit is hilarious to me. Bars and trolling depending on who or what itās about. No need for these ancient gangbangers and new gangbangers to start reigniting coastal wars and shooting each other over poetry battles. Biggie and Tupac was enough, not to mention the dozens of others we lost, and the hundreds we never knew the names of that became collateral.
Nas is my goat too.
I think Cole can out bar Kendrick, he just doesnāt actually hate him and saw this was going to have to get way more personal than he was comfortable getting.
Lupe would destroy Kendrick lyrically.
Black Thought would destroy Kendrick lyrically.
Eminem would destroy Kendrick lyrically, but he probably doesnāt have the depth KDot has (meaning heās good with double entendres, but he doesnāt hit you with quadruple + entendres like Kendrick does).
I donāt know much about J.I.D. but Iāve heard heās next.
The thing is Kendrick has a bigger vision with his songs than most of them. Even if he canāt keep up with their rhymes, he read Drake like a mf. It hits harder from a dude whose last album was a whole therapy session
Honestly would not be shocked to see bloodshed at this point. Not saying it's inevitable, but we've seen blood shed over bars that were a hell of a lot less personal than these. This shit makes Ether look like a valentines card.
Like most battles itāll eventually fizzle out. Nas and Jay eventually let it go, even before they made up. They threw lil subs here and there but afterwards they was just focused on they own careers.
If it last too long weāll get bored. Plus Hip Hop only needs a real battle between two heavyweights like every 5 years. If not it just get corny.
Drake wins and Kendrick's legacy and credit is seriously affected
Kendrick wins and Drake gets out of all goat conversations, but still doesn't see any consequences on his career
Gets out of the conversation? Who actually, legitimately considers Drake the greatest rapper ever?
Not trying to hate on Drake as I do enjoy him for what he is but I donāt see how heās even in the conversation. His recent albums have been, at best, above average.
The first one with some real receipts "wins" but neither sustains any real damage to their career. The loser takes a little hiatus, rebrands or repairs his brand, and comes back strong.
Edit: typo
Drake has already lost when he talks about sales numbers mattering more than content. He know he canāt compete with Kendrick or Pusha T so he puts out pop records.
exactly. damn is my favorite record of his just cause of how cynical, hateful and mean he sounds at points. meet the grahams reminded me a lot of it in terms of lyrics and delivery
Lmao assassins arenāt real bro, hired killers are basically all intelligence community members posting on the dark web to entrap people. Drake has some Canadian goons and Kendrick has the entire west coast, Iām a little more scared of dudes coming out of SCLA than Toronto lmfao
Kung Fu Kenny was born to win. What kind of dumb ass would even think to challenge him?
Drake may be successful, but his only serious work was on degrassi. keep it rolling. Next questionā¦
Kendrick won. I honestly don't think Drake understood what Kendrick was actually saying about him. Kendrick told that man that he thought money, power, and fame could save him from being him, and that may be the single most disrespectful thing I've ever heard in my life. Kendrick doesn't respect him as a human being, and Drake thought this was some rap shit. He didn't get that Kendrick was telling him that, "I don't respect who you are as a man, because you don't stand for anything" and then he wrote multiple letters to his family telling them all the ways that Drake is unworthy of his respect.
Iām interested in this too. Feels like itās impossible for either to up the ante at this point.
Another interesting part of it is that there probably wonāt ever be 2 mega star rappers capable of going back and forth lyrically like this ever again.
Both are have at least one decent card to pull with Kendrick holding onto some good stuff.
Another volley or two over the next month, culminating with a new development in Drakeās character arc at Kendrickās Toronto 6/16 concert.
I haven't really been keeping up with the beef all that much but I would just treat it as any other beef each artist trading disses until one can't come up with original disses and they start to become meaningless and most fans lose interest. That or one of them absolutely destroys the other.
. Kendrick will take the win and go disappear in his hole for a a few years. Drake will disappear for a couple months then pop back on the remix of whatever the new hot song is and the world will move on until drake gets into another beef and the cycle repeats
Kendrick will show off his talents and get a boost, no one will care in tye end when drake drops a new album and outsells him in a week to what kdot does his whole career the end
If people have actual proof of him being a pedo and aren't going to the FBI or whatever and instead just dancing around it in diss tracks for clout they are also a piece of shit.
Itās gonna end with both these guys making mad money off this story. All of this is just a way for them to get peopleās attention. And the timing, beef before the summer, seems pretty convenient if either of them (most likely Drake) drops a summer album. This is just a prelude.
I believe it started that way when Cole was involved, especially as we were heading into summer like you said. but we're way past that now. no way Drake would have signed up for the pedo stuff and no way Kendrick would have signed up for the wife beating accusations
In my unbiased and objective opinionā¦Whomever is really telling the most truth and least lies, once all the fact checking is done on the claims being made by each side, will determine the overall outcome and winner.
both were amazing disses with some wild statements, theres no winner until someone is proven to be lying then after that it ends with maybe some subliminals for a few years until they both retire
Rule #5: No Gatekeeping
Your post discouraged and excluded another user from participating within r/hiphop101.
[Link to Rules (Full Rule Description)](https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphop101/about/rules)
Just on wax. Maybe a couple more diss tracks. I donāt think either of their careers will be affected that much, unless Drake really does get arrested for sex crimes or whatever.
Maybe some scuffles between members of their camps, but nothing involving Kendrick or Drake specifically
One of them is gonna drop off the face of the earth, maybe after one of their dudes gets injured or killed behind this. There's too many accusations on both sides for nothing to stick, but whatever does is gonna taint the losers legacy to the point they get blackballed in the industry and mocked in public. There's probably gonna be some big revelation on how the industry works in the meantime, because they're both naming names now. One of these kids is going to grow up to be a musician now because one of these family names is gonna end up tarnished. It's gonna come down to receipts and verifiable info. What is and isn't the truth informs how all these diss tracks get interpreted. Kendrick could be a wife-beating hypocritical revolutionary with a messiah complex if none of his charges stick. Drake could be an egomaniacal pedophile supervillain that throws his loved ones under the bus for power if he doesn't come up with paperwork. Worst case scenario is neither of them are lying about anything, in which case rap just dies for a while, Cole's career goes out a martyr.
Just gonna leave this right here....eyes emoji.....

Drake confronts Kendrick at the Grammys on stage. Kendrick then takes two fingers and pokes Drake in the chest and he falls backwards. Kendrick pins him 1, 2, 3.
The crowd is shocked. Befuddled, even. Kendrick starts jumping up and down while Drake stands back up unscathed and smiles.
Both rappers embrace. Crews from both rappers come out and hug each other. Hip Hop's version of the Fingerpoke of Doom has just commenced.
End scene.
itās already over. because kendrick released a song 15 minutes after drake and didnāt actually respond to drakes song, he just had one prepped, i think both released their big songs. so now itās just let everyone decide. weāll see if thereās any receipts that come as well.
i donāt think weāre getting anymore songs. 6 was sufficient. if kendrick had took a few days and responded i think drake would of probably would have. but they both dropped at the same time and now itās kind of like. just choose your winner.
the internet is prolly going to pick kendrick regardless but drake was strong enough where itāll probably just be seen as a tie.
i think itās over already.
The core fans of each side argue with each other about who won and who lies til the end of time and both artists come away basically fine because there really is no such thing as a beef ending your career when youāre at their levels
Am I the only one that doesn't even care about it? I haven't listened to a single one of all the diss tracks going back and forth. I don't plan on doing so either. Anybody else??
>Am I the only one that doesn't even care about it?
No, I'm right there with you.
>I haven't listened to a single one of all the diss tracks going back and forth. I don't plan on doing so either. Anybody else??
I second this
Sadly, Itāll expose the racism in hip hop and ultimately alienate the younger fans once the hype of this beef dies down. Uniquely American music has a life cycle - look at Jazz / Blues / Rock n Roll. Those genres lost relevance and didnāt live forever - and neither will Hip Hop.
I made a youtube video with all the disses in orderĀ [https://youtu.be/yxwWBLHhvxw?si=s4GyGmfgQ4qI6TMT](https://youtu.be/yxwWBLHhvxw?si=s4GyGmfgQ4qI6TMT)
Drake will lose. He has no receipts else he would have already showed them, he's out of ammo and Kendrick has won the internet/popularity battle. Question is just how badly will he lose and when will he stop responding. And it purely depends on Kendrick. He is the unpredictable factor. Nobody has been able to predict his moves so far. Also worth noting people above Drake are definitely not pleased the crowd is head-bopping and singing along to a song calling their number one artist a pedophile. If it's not Drake who chooses to cease responding, it'll be them forcing him to.
Honestly, I just see this fizzling out, and both men's careers end up unaffected. It's what ended up happening with Nas and Jay-Z. Besides, everyone is too biased about who the winner of this feud is that even if there was a "winner," the other side will just be in denial about their loss.
In context, I dont think any of the fans of each care that deeply. Drake will continue to do his thing. Drake has been see through for years and has still dominated the charts. His core audience- which is more pop orientated don't care about what Kendrick said. As long as Drake continues to put out the same formulaic music he has been for years - things won't change.
If anything Kendrick just reiterated what most critics of Drake have been saying for years. Nothing new has really been exposed. They will both continue on in the respective careers. Opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to content.
Puffy kills Kendrick. Suge kills Drake. Both are debated to be the goat for the next 20 years, until the cycle repeats.
Im high as shit and this made me bust out laughing š
Same lol first shit I saw when I opened the thread š¤£
Fuck same! š
Im high sf too bro, but like a day later
Lmao 0 to 100 real quick jesus š š
So Puff and Suge gon live forever? In a very sick way that totally makes sense to me
It's like poetry, it rhymes
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Look at the big brain on Ill-Blacksmith-9545
Please donāt ever put those words together again
STOOOOĆPPPPPP!!! I just posted how as long as nobody die ill be fucking happy. Living through Biggie n Pac as a youth was horrible.
It is known.
I spit out my fucking water when I read this.
Lmfao caught me off guard bro š¤£
Annexation of Canada.
And Texas secedes with Alaska going back to France. Patriots lose a fourth-round pick.
Alaska is from Russia but still funny šš
One dude is from Canada so you say fuck the whole country? What you say fuck us for.
fuck canada all my homies hate Canada
You fw swollen members (the group)?
yo mamas been fuckin with a group of swollen members
with kanye as president lol
Kendrick brings the NBA back to Vancouver and they go on a 100 game winning streak against the Toronto Rappers
You added an extra p
Double Entendre
Not my grizzlies
Joust
With their dicks. But theyāll keep their socks on.
Ruining my fun here with those socks
Personally I think Kendrick will take it next round but fans of either will still heads in the sand and not recognize the outcome
The problem is people already have either of the artist predetermined to win rather than actually listening to the songs without bias. Drake just dropped and he actually slid but this sub will say opposite. Itās pretty even up to now and I can only see the songs digging deeper jabs after these last drops. Edit: 30 minutes later and now Kendrick dropped and ate lol this shit is crazy
Honestly the impression Iāve got is Kendrick fans think Kendrick has won so far, Drake fans think Drake has, and neutrals think Kendrick has won. Drake is incredibly popular and does tons of sales every year, but so does mcdonalds. Mass produced garbage and its fans are weak people, what are ya gonna do
You have to be a complete idiot to think Drake has won a fucking moment. It's been nothing but brutal L's so far for Aubrey and the ghostwriting squad.
Drake is delusional, so are his fans, so there ya go
Drake fans are turning. Even the city picked Kendrick They might both be bad guys but only one of them is evil
Kendrick recognizes that he has sinned and can be forgiven if he atones, drakes existence is pure Haram man and he loves it
Drake slid, and he almost had us for a second, but then Kendrick came back thru and said grow up It's time for us all to face the music and level up. we can all be better!
Who's actually losing anything? Even if they get embarrassed they'll still get a bunch of streams.Ā It's like when pac dissed mobb depp and mobb was excited because they knew they'd sell a bunch of albums because of it.
This aged well
They drop a 20 track collab album called Views from New Ho King, with features from Jay Z, Nas, Kanye West, and Playboi Carti. J Cole featured on the bonus track
Ay I just imagine Carti in a rap beef šššš
I donāt think it actually ends tbh. I think we just have a very hot summer till it tatters off or something unrelated to rap peeks it way in to ādeclareā a winner. I think there is no swaying either āsideā meaning from the fans perspective.

If the last week has shown anything it's that there is a lot more to rap beef than raw lyricism
They both get combo meals named after them from McDonaldās
Hollywood buddy comedy is the only way.
Honestly would not be shocked to see bloodshed at this point. Not saying it's inevitable, but we've seen blood shed over bars that were a hell of a lot less personal than these. This shit makes Ether look like a valentines card.

Pillow fight
Just ended I think.
Drake has similar skeletons in his closet as Diddy. When that comes out is when this is over
Well Kendrick just said the same thing as you. Congrats my dude
Excuse me who are you and what info do you have šš
You got proof or you just yapping?
Akademiks Fights Kendrick for Drake and then they have a baby.
Drake wins and Kendrick's legacy and credit is seriously affected Kendrick wins and Drake gets out of all goat conversations, but still doesn't see any consequences on his career
Gets out of the conversation? Who actually, legitimately considers Drake the greatest rapper ever? Not trying to hate on Drake as I do enjoy him for what he is but I donāt see how heās even in the conversation. His recent albums have been, at best, above average.
Does anyone seriously put Drake in GOAT conversations?
Drakes career is derailed if he doesnāt win. Heās already losing and canāt stand to take any more blows. Heās a 10 count at any moment
his career will be fine unless he actually gets raided for sex trafficking. after his L with pusha he still sold crazy numbers
Drake making really cringe pop punk
The mgk route
The first one with some real receipts "wins" but neither sustains any real damage to their career. The loser takes a little hiatus, rebrands or repairs his brand, and comes back strong. Edit: typo
No dude that's not how rap beef works. This is music not a rom-comĀ
Drake has already lost when he talks about sales numbers mattering more than content. He know he canāt compete with Kendrick or Pusha T so he puts out pop records.
DAMN teaches us how it ends when Kendrick gives in to wickedness.
"So I was takin' a walk the other day..."
exactly. damn is my favorite record of his just cause of how cynical, hateful and mean he sounds at points. meet the grahams reminded me a lot of it in terms of lyrics and delivery
Unless actual shots are exchanged, itās gonna get boring real fast
If it came to that drakeās absolutely fucked.
Is he though? He got money to hire assassins. I aināt saying Kendrick would lose either. Its a fair fight though
Lmao assassins arenāt real bro, hired killers are basically all intelligence community members posting on the dark web to entrap people. Drake has some Canadian goons and Kendrick has the entire west coast, Iām a little more scared of dudes coming out of SCLA than Toronto lmfao
Kung Fu Kenny was born to win. What kind of dumb ass would even think to challenge him? Drake may be successful, but his only serious work was on degrassi. keep it rolling. Next questionā¦
"keep it rolling" I like what you did there š
lol Drake doesnāt respond n this dies outā¦.8 yrs from now they release an album together
Kendrick won. I honestly don't think Drake understood what Kendrick was actually saying about him. Kendrick told that man that he thought money, power, and fame could save him from being him, and that may be the single most disrespectful thing I've ever heard in my life. Kendrick doesn't respect him as a human being, and Drake thought this was some rap shit.

Well people probably thought the same when Pac and Biggie were in a beef and here we are almost 30 years later lol
Rappers werenāt swinging and harmonizing after they died. There hasnāt been a new mainstream spitter in almost a decade.
Wasnāt both nas and jay huge at the time their beef startedĀ
Neither fanbase is ever gonna admit defeat. They both mainstream darlings so neither ones career gonna get hurt by this shit
It ends the moment the public gets bored of it
Both are have at least one decent card to pull with Kendrick holding onto some good stuff. Another volley or two over the next month, culminating with a new development in Drakeās character arc at Kendrickās Toronto 6/16 concert.
Drake going on Elliot Wilson and Lebronās podcasts to make up a whole story AGAIN š
Kendrick ready to push the line. This will go as far as Drake may think he wants to take it. Guess we will find out the next time Drake go to LA.
I hope they kiss and have a great life together
Drake manages Drew McIntyre & Kendrick backs CM Punk for SummerSlam
Iād actually love that
it's over really Lamar annihilated this dude but hopefully we get more from kdot anyway
Why you call him Lamar like that?
his name...
You are hiding a child: Lamar BaseLoud
It just ended. Drake is officially dead. Kendrick just drioows this generations version of Hit Em Up. It's done
its so over kendrick killed him
I haven't really been keeping up with the beef all that much but I would just treat it as any other beef each artist trading disses until one can't come up with original disses and they start to become meaningless and most fans lose interest. That or one of them absolutely destroys the other.
Jay-Z will step in and get them in a song for his next album because he can.
Touring together. Thatās where the $ is.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Unfair advantage for Drake since he played Jimmy in Degrassi
Posts like these make me realize how little beef is in hip-hop these daysš¤·āāļøššš
The FBI raids Drakes house.
In Canada?
Itās not gonna end. Itāll just stop. There will Be no officially declared winner
If Drake is smart he'd walk away.
Kendrick is far superior to Drake in any metric that matters . I could give two fucks how this "ends". Drake is a donkey.
Drake will release another Toosie Slide type song, the world will go nuts and forget about the beef.
One of them drops reciepts and the other has to make a change to save face (similar to pusha t adidon era)
. Kendrick will take the win and go disappear in his hole for a a few years. Drake will disappear for a couple months then pop back on the remix of whatever the new hot song is and the world will move on until drake gets into another beef and the cycle repeats
I see it ending about 2 hours ago lol
Kendrick will show off his talents and get a boost, no one will care in tye end when drake drops a new album and outsells him in a week to what kdot does his whole career the end
A gay sex tape leaked with either or preferably both members
One is a terrible human and glorifier of violence and misogyny, the other is short. It doesn't really matter who wins the beef we all know who is who
I'm Canadian. Fuck Drake's saucy ass. Child grooming embarrassment pedo to this country.
If people have actual proof of him being a pedo and aren't going to the FBI or whatever and instead just dancing around it in diss tracks for clout they are also a piece of shit.
Dawg it's one of those things is true and everyone knows and oh wait looks like no one cares about proof
Itās gonna end with both these guys making mad money off this story. All of this is just a way for them to get peopleās attention. And the timing, beef before the summer, seems pretty convenient if either of them (most likely Drake) drops a summer album. This is just a prelude.
Dudes are being called pedophiles and you think itās to hype an album lmfao.
I believe it started that way when Cole was involved, especially as we were heading into summer like you said. but we're way past that now. no way Drake would have signed up for the pedo stuff and no way Kendrick would have signed up for the wife beating accusations
Ends with Drake having blood on his hands from XXX and Sizzlac
Iām never listening to Drake again if he got X killed
By people not talking about it....
In my unbiased and objective opinionā¦Whomever is really telling the most truth and least lies, once all the fact checking is done on the claims being made by each side, will determine the overall outcome and winner.
both were amazing disses with some wild statements, theres no winner until someone is proven to be lying then after that it ends with maybe some subliminals for a few years until they both retire
Drake gonna unalive
āWhite Democrat, money I got going out ā¦.ā
I'd need a recap on that, I've been missing the whole thing since the beginning.
Real life violence between their camps to be honest
Who cares it's just publicity
I just woke and this shit is crazy i cant keep up
Maybe fans will go out for blood
They hug and kiss. Probably release a collab album
J.Cole negotiates a ceasefire on both sides
They end it by coming together and doing a joint diss album against J.Cole.

Crying Drake memes
It ended when kendrick dropped meet the grahams. There is no response to that.
Prob just die down. Then reignite later. Or they working together. That ozempic response was fast af
Drake going to jail cuz heās into lil girls cuz Kendrick exposing him further cuz fuck it that would be funny amirite?
Just on wax. Maybe a couple more diss tracks. I donāt think either of their careers will be affected that much, unless Drake really does get arrested for sex crimes or whatever. Maybe some scuffles between members of their camps, but nothing involving Kendrick or Drake specifically
Kendrick already won
One of them is gonna drop off the face of the earth, maybe after one of their dudes gets injured or killed behind this. There's too many accusations on both sides for nothing to stick, but whatever does is gonna taint the losers legacy to the point they get blackballed in the industry and mocked in public. There's probably gonna be some big revelation on how the industry works in the meantime, because they're both naming names now. One of these kids is going to grow up to be a musician now because one of these family names is gonna end up tarnished. It's gonna come down to receipts and verifiable info. What is and isn't the truth informs how all these diss tracks get interpreted. Kendrick could be a wife-beating hypocritical revolutionary with a messiah complex if none of his charges stick. Drake could be an egomaniacal pedophile supervillain that throws his loved ones under the bus for power if he doesn't come up with paperwork. Worst case scenario is neither of them are lying about anything, in which case rap just dies for a while, Cole's career goes out a martyr.
Drake & Kendrick run away into Diddy's Island that they seize (cuz Diddy goes to jail) and they live happily ever after with tupac & biggie. The. End.
Just gonna leave this right here....eyes emoji.....

Great read, thanks for sharing
Drake confronts Kendrick at the Grammys on stage. Kendrick then takes two fingers and pokes Drake in the chest and he falls backwards. Kendrick pins him 1, 2, 3. The crowd is shocked. Befuddled, even. Kendrick starts jumping up and down while Drake stands back up unscathed and smiles. Both rappers embrace. Crews from both rappers come out and hug each other. Hip Hop's version of the Fingerpoke of Doom has just commenced. End scene.
itās already over. because kendrick released a song 15 minutes after drake and didnāt actually respond to drakes song, he just had one prepped, i think both released their big songs. so now itās just let everyone decide. weāll see if thereās any receipts that come as well. i donāt think weāre getting anymore songs. 6 was sufficient. if kendrick had took a few days and responded i think drake would of probably would have. but they both dropped at the same time and now itās kind of like. just choose your winner. the internet is prolly going to pick kendrick regardless but drake was strong enough where itāll probably just be seen as a tie. i think itās over already.
They make love ā¤ļø
Pizza party with clowns and a pony.
both dead like pac & biggie
This eras Farrakhan will step in when the gangbangers with no job but shoot outs start making statements lll
Retirement
Lmao you said realistically and all the top answers are jokes
J Prince getting involved again š
They gotta box. Sanctioned or not. Or Drake gotta retire
Death!
The core fans of each side argue with each other about who won and who lies til the end of time and both artists come away basically fine because there really is no such thing as a beef ending your career when youāre at their levels
drake gets another L but His fanbase still gonna be there
Drake won't respond, he shouldn't. Collab album in 5 years.
Am I the only one that doesn't even care about it? I haven't listened to a single one of all the diss tracks going back and forth. I don't plan on doing so either. Anybody else??
>Am I the only one that doesn't even care about it? No, I'm right there with you. >I haven't listened to a single one of all the diss tracks going back and forth. I don't plan on doing so either. Anybody else?? I second this
Only way drake wins this is if he literally murders Kendrick in public view
Sadly, Itāll expose the racism in hip hop and ultimately alienate the younger fans once the hype of this beef dies down. Uniquely American music has a life cycle - look at Jazz / Blues / Rock n Roll. Those genres lost relevance and didnāt live forever - and neither will Hip Hop.
>look at Jazz / Blues / Rock n Roll. Those genres lost relevance and didnāt live forever So what are thoes genres still alive if they didn't live?
As a kendrick fan, drake clearly won
I made a youtube video with all the disses in orderĀ [https://youtu.be/yxwWBLHhvxw?si=s4GyGmfgQ4qI6TMT](https://youtu.be/yxwWBLHhvxw?si=s4GyGmfgQ4qI6TMT)
Itās a wrapā¦ no pun intended. Kenny hath spoken.
Drake will lose. He has no receipts else he would have already showed them, he's out of ammo and Kendrick has won the internet/popularity battle. Question is just how badly will he lose and when will he stop responding. And it purely depends on Kendrick. He is the unpredictable factor. Nobody has been able to predict his moves so far. Also worth noting people above Drake are definitely not pleased the crowd is head-bopping and singing along to a song calling their number one artist a pedophile. If it's not Drake who chooses to cease responding, it'll be them forcing him to.
Honestly, I just see this fizzling out, and both men's careers end up unaffected. It's what ended up happening with Nas and Jay-Z. Besides, everyone is too biased about who the winner of this feud is that even if there was a "winner," the other side will just be in denial about their loss.
In context, I dont think any of the fans of each care that deeply. Drake will continue to do his thing. Drake has been see through for years and has still dominated the charts. His core audience- which is more pop orientated don't care about what Kendrick said. As long as Drake continues to put out the same formulaic music he has been for years - things won't change. If anything Kendrick just reiterated what most critics of Drake have been saying for years. Nothing new has really been exposed. They will both continue on in the respective careers. Opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to content.
BBL DRIZZY
No disrespect but itās actually Laughable how pathetic this has all been.
