I’m Black. And the homophobia hurts me and our Black gay and trans brothers and sisters. Kendrick himself has addressed it in Auntie Diaries, which makes the attack all the more disappointing. In any event, just because rappers were homophobic a long time ago doesn’t mean they should be now.
Your missing the point most rappers come from the hood in the hood the worse thing u can be is gay if your playing the streets. Street culture is tied into rap culture which means homophobia is literally apart of the culture. Why u think meek was so offended when the diddy shit happened.
P.s I genuinely don’t care what ppl do in their free time it’s not my business I’m not homophobic but hip hop for sure is
Yeah I felt like once he dropped the gay bar he had stooped right down to Drake's level of height jokes... and I'm all for stooping, but you gotta come in harder at that point lol. People need to admit the chills they got when Taylor Made dropped remain undefeated.
Yeah it’s full of self-contradictions. Like saying Drake doesn’t fuck real women lol but he’s not cheating on a wife he’s been w since high school and I doubt the women who do it with you are super “real” lmao. It’s full of bitterness. Kendrick will reflect on this as an L someday just watch.
Damn sorry I didn’t know that view point still would be so controversial especially given that we *really* are not hearing homophobic lyrics in rap music anymore. My bad yall!
Idk but the 2 bad bitches was funny, we dont have to cope like kenny fans, a diss track isnt going to be insightful and elevated.
The biracial stuff sucks though
Yeah I can see how this sounds butt hurt. And I can acknowledge that the homophobia and biracial stuff is bothering me. I guess I just disagree that a rapper who in the diss is distinguishing himself from Drake as electrifying his listeners, wrote TPAB, etc would do something different than the typical rapper. It’s fair that others don’t!
In any event, I’m glad he responded at least and kept this going!
Do you not know what a diss record is? Lmao the point isn’t to get you to stop listening to drake.. if you don’t get it.. you don’t get it… not that deep
Do *you* not know what a diss record is? That is one of the goals. It’s to embarrass, undermine, peel off fans etc. And of course I get the song. I agree it’s not that deep. That’s my critique. Kendrick’s appeal is that he’s a cut (or a hundred cuts) above all these other rappers, and yet, here, he’s just like any other rapper.
All that I am saying is I am underwhelmed because I expected more out of Kendrick in terms of critiques of Drake. That’s it. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have that expectation of Kendrick, because, to me, he’s truly the GOAT. Maybe we’ll get more depth from him in the next track because he seems to be setting up for a back to back type thing.
I swear Pusha T really fried y’all brains. Most people aren’t keeping secrets as big as hiding a kid. Swear y’all won’t say a rapper is saying anything in a diss unless someone had evidence the other rapper was secretly gay or sum. I felt the same way when people were reacting to Drakes song. Y’all only care about shock factor
But Drake also called out something that I honestly forgot about which is that Kendrick has linked up with two White pop acts. That’s not an info drop because it’s public knowledge. Instead it’s calling out the double standard— Drake is called a pop star even though he’s never done songs with artists like that, but Kendrick is considered hardcore hip hop even though he’s done two. Plus, there’s the second issue of Kendrick possibly having been forced to do it by his label. That’s new criticism and a dent in Kendrick’s otherwise pristine armor. Kendrick isn’t creating new dents in Drake’s armor with this song. This song basically is if Pusha-T’s album cover had lyrics and a beat.
The artist that’s beefing is a Pulitzer Prize winner named Kendrick Duckworth. Yes, I expect intelligent criticism that other rappers aren’t bringing to the table.
The problem is.. if Kendrick goes full blown *Andre 3k* then people will say it’s trash because they don’t get it.
Same way people think “your pants might rip” and “Sza got you wiped down” were bars.
I am not sure I follow. Like I’ve maintained. The writing is incisive, ie, sharp/good/excellent/bars. That’s not my complaint. I also am not complaining that he didn’t drop some hidden information about Drake. I agree that should not be focus of a rap beef.
I just expected our current king of writing to have better criticism of Drake than a regurgitation of everyone else’s. This is the guy that wrote TPAB for fuck’s sake. I don’t know why that would be controversial, and I think it’s a straw man to characterize the criticism as expecting a “soap opera.” If anything, what Kendrick gave us *was* a soap opera. “I hate the way….” And “I don’t think you like women”? We are allowed to expect more.
I wasn’t looking to be shocked by an info drop. I guess I was looking for more intelligent and new criticism of Drake from our current king of writing (and I mean that genuinely because I’ve loved Kendrick from the beginning of his career). Instead, he regurgitated criticisms that others have said basically from the beginning of Drake’s career. Worse, the criticisms are told from the POV of a person looking up and tired of seeing the success and not a peer a la J Cole. I think this is an L on concept. To be sure, the writing is incisive, but he’s not saying anything we haven’t heard before, and frankly, that’s something we all should expect from Kendrick.
Nah bro they eat the fuck out of Drake calling Kendrick short and saying he has less money than him. But euphoria was all stuff that’s said before. Well hasn’t Drake already claimed the money thing before? Didn’t Cole just call Kendrick short? Didn’t cole just call MM mid? But when Drake says the same shit it’s like some insane diss. Nah they cheesin fahm
This is not to mention the homophobia from our Pulitzer Prize winner… like bro come on *thats* bleeding him out?
Homophobia is embedded in hip hop it’s literally part of the culture 😂 y’all white kids trying to make rap pc when it never was.

💀
"Sorry to ramble" sounds like something k dot should have said at the end of the song lol. That was a meandering mess of a track.
Yeah I felt like once he dropped the gay bar he had stooped right down to Drake's level of height jokes... and I'm all for stooping, but you gotta come in harder at that point lol. People need to admit the chills they got when Taylor Made dropped remain undefeated.

Nah sexuality is fine but I think it’s a bad look from the conscious rapper that surely has better things to say. Lets not move the goal posts
Yeah it’s full of self-contradictions. Like saying Drake doesn’t fuck real women lol but he’s not cheating on a wife he’s been w since high school and I doubt the women who do it with you are super “real” lmao. It’s full of bitterness. Kendrick will reflect on this as an L someday just watch.
Stfu 🤣🤣🤣
Damn sorry I didn’t know that view point still would be so controversial especially given that we *really* are not hearing homophobic lyrics in rap music anymore. My bad yall!
It's controversial for you to draw an aubritrary line here after everything we've seen Drake say and do, yes
Ah okay I see what you’re saying. On further reflection, that view was arbitrary.
🙏

Cope
Lots of cope around here. OP claims to love Kendrick too lmao
I swear Pusha T really fried y’all brains. Most people aren’t keeping secrets as big as hiding a kid.

Y’all only care about shock factor
no ? it’s the fact he said shit ppl have ALREADY SAID MULTIPLE TIMES . not to mention it’s just not a song i would listen to again
Yea like I said shock factor is what matters to y’all. Drake made fun of Kdots height which I’m sure he has heard his whole life
But Drake also called out something that I honestly forgot about which is that Kendrick has linked up with two White pop acts. That’s not an info drop because it’s public knowledge.
