Were they fucking each other and then broke up?

Are all rappers on the “down low”*?

*I learned that term (“down low”) from “E.R.” back in the ‘90s. Don’t know if it’s still used.

Kendrick's probably had the better lines overall but I've liked the Drake songs better. 

"Family Matters" definitely the best track to come out of this thing so far and he's got some good-ass lines on that one.

I don't give a fuck about either of these guys, but I do have a short story:

GF is originally from Miami, and her sister still lives there.  We were visiting several months ago...I don't remember exactly when as we go see her family quite a bit. 

Anyway, the sister takes us to the yacht club for drinks, and some older dude stops by the table to say hi to the sister.  Introductions are made...he's a nice guy, a retired United 767 Captain.  He joins us.  I ask about flying, he tells us that he was aged-out at United, and was bummed because he loved flying.  He gets a phone call..."hey, you still want to fly, right".   Yeah, he does. 

Yada yada, he becomes Drake's pilot on his 767 for his tours.   He said that he was a nice enough guy, and pretty quiet.  No partying ever happened on the plane.  He liked to go wheels-up very early in the morning.   He'd do a show, they would go to some club or hotel and party their asses off, show up to the plane early in the morning, and everybody went to sleep. Guy said he paid better than United, and United paid very well.

Diss tracks aren’t for the club. Family Matters is more fun for sure but Kendrick came for that mans soul.

I can't talk about rap beef with people who are rating the songs like they're music critics. This ain't that. It's not a battle of "who can make the best track", it's a measure of who can sting the other harder. 

 

I'm Pro-Kendrick, because I've been a fan for over a decade now and believe he's a hell of a rapper, but in this specific beef, I feel like I get it. I've listened to Drake, I remember when he came up and I was on the hype train, I've heard his hits from years ago and maybe even nodded my head a few times, but it also didn't take long to realize he's a corny dude playing dress up with the real trap stars. Always has been, always will be, and this beef is about Kendrick saying that dork doesn't deserve to be the face of hip-hop and/or rap (or even be mentioned in the pantheon). I don't disagree. 

The sharpest bars of the beef to me gotta be K Dot calling out Drake for cosplaying the entire Atlanta scene to profit off of it, like his white ancestors. Rap has always been a regional thing, but the best have been able to overcome their regionality by just being Great (Biggie, Kendrick, Pac, Jay Z).... Drake don't have a culture to fall back on, so he's been able to get spins just clout chasing and riding waves. Which is one way to go about making money, but don't get mad if someone who values authenticity in the Culture don't appreciate it. Me being a Houston native, I've seen Drake do the exact same shit to Houston. He loves all the cultures, but don't really belong to any of them.

I haven't heard Part 6 yet, but think I'm more or less up to date. Euphoria is maybe the best song, but Drake has the second and third best in Family Matters and Tailor Made. 

Thought this was an interesting read: https://www.theringer.com/rap/2024/5/4/24149035/drake-kendrick-meet-the-grahams-family-matters-euphoria-diss-beef

 

This isn't a "song" contest, this is about bars. Anyone who thinks Drake isn't getting washed should be Perma-banned. Kendrick is on his ass.

Someone tell Charles Holmes to shut the fuck up and sit down. Those are some hoe-ass takes - let these guys have their fun and entertain us.

Idk. Drake has had some money fucking lines. No shit he isn't the rapper that K Dot is - we all already knew that. Making hits is what Drake has always been about. I think both of them are doing this by doing what they do best and it's part of why it's been so much fun.

So....is this over now?

Everyone is saying it's over and Kendrick won, but everyone seems to think it ended with a whimper and both were worse for the wear?

After drake waving the white flag in his last track, it's probably over but there is no way Kendrick is worse for the wear. He just put out a banger diss that broke all kinds of streaming records  and will probably be played in clubs all summer. Metro put out a free beat that tons of people are using for their own Drake diss tracks. 

Drake had zero dirt on Kendrick while Kendrick just reminding everyone Drake is a cosplay gangster with no street cred trying to act tough, constantly does cringe shit and is probably a pedophile. Drake took a massive L in this one.
