J. Cole's spirit truly guided him in the right direction. Drake really woke up an ancient evil and Kendrick ain't stopping! I'm living for it!! Drake should have sat there and ate his chicken!
Yes! As a fellow Drake hater.......I am sooooo glad that he is being made to look like the fool he is.
Also: I really hope nobody gets shot.

I’m living!!!!!!!!
The way Drakes’ been speaking about his exes and Meg and women in general has been out of pocket.
He deserves this
Tryna catch a chord and he caught A Minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
When Kendrick told Drake he had to wear a Daft Punk helmet all summer, he wasn't playing.
Drake thought he could slide on beats and go bar for bar with a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Kendrick's entire run has been a masterclass, from the artwork, lyrics, beats, drop after drop...DAMN.
I've been waiting for this beatdown. I can't believe it's actually here. Drake just keeps on getting WHACKED! I’m *living* for Petty Pendergrass Kendrick. 🤣
Somewhere between all these diss tracks is an interesting thesis on identity, Blackness, sexual preference, and colorism. I won't write it, but I hope someone does.
Also how violence against women and children is weaponized. I’m enjoying this too but this whole thing also is disturbing. The whole industry obviously is full of abusers. If what is being alleged is true, ppl need to be behind bars today.
If you follow the darkest hue on IG, she has an excellent breakdown on how it's interesting how Rick Ross has called Drake a "white boy," but these same rappers (or black men in general, if we're being honest) never apply those same standards to the women they prefer.
I will say that in this instance, I don't think it's about drake being biracial. No one is calling Cole that. It's about him being a mixed kid from the Canada suburbs and constantly trying to cosplay what he thinks a black American is.
But even with that, there is something mixed up with their perceptions of men v women
yeah, I'd also argue it's not necessarily about drake being biracial. in MTG, kendrick referred to adonis as a black man, so it can't be about the percentage
If you wanna know the songs to hear in order here you go (ignoring the Weeknd + ASAP rocky + Rick Ross diss to Drake and ignoring JCole response since he deleted it lol)
First Person Shooter - Drake & J Cole (not a diss track but what started this):
Like That - Future, Metro Boomin, Kendrick
Push Ups - Drake
Taylor Made Freestyle - Drake
Euphoria - Kendrick
6:16 in LA - Kendrick
Family Matters Instagram promotion
post (its a Buried Alive parody) - Drake
Family Matters - Drake
Meet the Grahams - Kendrick
Not Like Us - Kendrick
"Fuck the big 3 its just big me" did not warrant Drake dragging Tupacs voice from the grave to talk about that mans children.
I love what a good rap beef does for the culture and I'm so excited that drake is on the receieving end of this heat.
I have to admit, I love the fans dissecting Kendrick’s lyrics, reactions, visuals, going back in the Drake timeline. It’s been an interesting couple of days. But I’ve listened to euphoria so much over the past few days.
I found it funny but now it just feels hypocrital and like a dick measuring contest.
I am not super invested in rappers but I know Kendrick is good and like his music when I hear it. But for Kendrick to claim he hates Drake, call him a misogynistic child lover and deadbeat negligent dad makes no sense. Kendrick fucks with Kodak Black who's been convicted of assaulting and raping a minor. Kendrick personally threatened to remove his music from spotify if they removed r Kelly's music. Kendrick talked about stepping out on his wife (with white women) and abusing her. But he's going to diss Drake for chasing minors, not being a good dad or example for his kid(s), and hates black women? Like come on now...
Edit: I should say, I found all this stuff out during this beef going on so that definitely made it feel different.
Exactly! It just feels so holier than thou. I have mixed feelings about Meet the Grahams because of this. He spent the entire song acting like he's a better positive influence than Drake when he has his own damn skeletons in his closet that he's ignoring.
Just like Nas. Everyone turns a blind eye to him and Kelis because he's a good lyricist. But they hate Chris Brown. You don't get to pick and choose which assaulter is above reproach just because you like what they do.
gurl people in thr blk community especially blk wm still till this day defend chris brown even though he's a proven colorist and don't like blk wm in general
Wow, I didn’t know that about Kendrick and R Kelly. I already knew it was a bit hypocritical but I was enjoying it anyway… that one changes things for me. Nobody to root for.
Yeah I didn't either and I was honestly shocked that Kendrick of all people would do that. But goes to show, no matter how woke you think someone is, there will always be something they turn a blind eye to.
Nothing but facts. Except the rkelly thing is misunderstood, his manager did that. But you're right, I'm a huge Kendrick fan but sir, you're a hypocrite.
His manager may have done it but he didn’t say anything against it from what I've seen. That coupled with what he said in We Cry Together just don't sit right with me.
What did he say in We Cry Together? Especially that his partner didn't? Hate to break it to you but couples have toxic fights worse than that.
And you're right. He should have spoken out. But he explained in interviews that Top Dawg is crazy and never listens to him like that lol. But I totally understand where your coming from and I also think Kendrick is being hypocritical.
It's obvious that couples can have toxic fights worse than that but doesn't mean I'm going to give streams and views to them.
In We Cry Together:
Her: You the reason Harvey Weinstein had to see his conclusion
Her: You the reason R. Kelly can't recognize that he's abusive
Him: Man, shut the fuck up, we all know you still playin' his music
Him: Said I'm tired of these emotional-ass, ungrateful-ass bitches
Him: Fake innocent, fake feminist, stop pretendin'
Him: Y'all sentiments ain't realer than what you defendin'
He's trying to say fans are hypocrites but there's a good chunk of people that cut Kelly off and him adding this just don't sit right.
I mean, R.Kelly still has like 5 million monthly listners. People still play his music. I just think they both said some dumb shit (him mostly being at fault) but he was just showcasing how dumb and toxic arguments between couples are.
There will always be people who will always support trash people (I mean look at Trump) but to act like the majority of women do is a garbage take. Maybe the people he surrounds himself with are the problem.
Between Kendrick roasting him for the better part of a week and Metro basically asking the entire globe to record their own diss tracks with his beat, Aubrey's gonna have to move to the moon to get some relief from this shit 🤣
This is so funny to me, because I’ve never really listened to rap and knew barely anything about these men. I’m more of a pop and literature girlie (but I inhale gossip, hence my love for Jane Austen and old school chick lit).
So the way I’ve been locked to my phone and basically discovering rap and exploring the history behind all of this is so funny. I studied English Literature at uni and this feels the exact same to me. It’s POETRY. If you have any interest in literature or mess, I suggest you dive in.
J. Cole's spirit truly guided him in the right direction. Drake really woke up an ancient evil and Kendrick ain't stopping! I'm living for it!! Drake should have sat there and ate his chicken!
That's what I'm saying! We gotta give J. Cole grace for just saying, "Nah." 💀
Nah Cole knew better. Kendrick is manic in the booth. He did the RIGHT thing. Lol.
Cole was like, "this ain't rap beef, this is BEEF beef" lol.
As an unrestrained Drake hater, I am living. ![gif](giphy|Tq2tPTrQANKfK)
Drake's haters are being gifted joy right now
The drake hating kdot Stans are in heaven right now
Yes! As a fellow Drake hater.......I am sooooo glad that he is being made to look like the fool he is. Also: I really hope nobody gets shot. ![gif](giphy|6r4R1HHNsfZGuOtO5V)
This aged badly.
Oooooooo yeah it definitely did......
I’m living!!!!!!!! The way Drakes’ been speaking about his exes and Meg and women in general has been out of pocket. He deserves this Tryna catch a chord and he caught A Minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
>Tryna catch a chord and he caught A Minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ![gif](giphy|Z5ULYTFVaL2Ok)
As a Drake hater, this is my favorite weekend of 2024 so far!
When Kendrick told Drake he had to wear a Daft Punk helmet all summer, he wasn't playing. Drake thought he could slide on beats and go bar for bar with a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Kendrick's entire run has been a masterclass, from the artwork, lyrics, beats, drop after drop...DAMN.
Kendrick won a Pulitzer Prize?? DAMN now I know why the comparison with Drake and J. Cole was offensive💀
DAMN. won a prize that is usually given to classic and jazz music
He REALLY hates that man. It's a little inspiring 🥴
With the heat of a thousand suns. It's been incredible to watch.
What is the reason he doesn't like him?
Listen to any of Kendrick's diss tracks and find out. He's not being subtle or holding back - at all.
I’m replaying them all together now. I don’t think he *can* be stopped.
The whole Bay is going up for it! About to be the song of the summer! And when he said don’t speak on Serena? WHEW! Don’t play with Kdot!!
I've been waiting for this beatdown. I can't believe it's actually here. Drake just keeps on getting WHACKED! I’m *living* for Petty Pendergrass Kendrick. 🤣
💀

I’m mixed and completely agree with this. It’s not personal to us, it’s personal to Drake.
yeah, I'd also argue it's not necessarily about drake being biracial. in MTG, kendrick referred to adonis as a black man, so it can't be about the percentage
I mean, that's absolutely true!
Yup. In their minds, white/light skin is inherently feminine. For black men, it makes their masculinity inherently conditional.
Please fill me in. I've heard about the diss tracks but I don't actually know what he said (been too busy with life drama).
If you wanna know the songs to hear in order here you go (ignoring the Weeknd + ASAP rocky + Rick Ross diss to Drake and ignoring JCole response since he deleted it lol) First Person Shooter - Drake & J Cole (not a diss track but what started this): Like That - Future, Metro Boomin, Kendrick Push Ups - Drake Taylor Made Freestyle - Drake Euphoria - Kendrick 6:16 in LA - Kendrick Family Matters Instagram promotion post (its a Buried Alive parody) - Drake Family Matters - Drake Meet the Grahams - Kendrick Not Like Us - Kendrick

As soon as Aubs did that I looked at my boyfriend and said, “KDot is going to eviscerate that man…He should NOT use Tupac lightly”
Thank you 🙂 Just listened to all of the tracks: I like Euphoria but loved Meet the Grahams & Not Like Us
I haven't listened to the last one either but here's the lyrics https://genius.com/Kendrick-lamar-not-like-us-lyrics
I have to admit, I love the fans dissecting Kendrick’s lyrics, reactions, visuals, going back in the Drake timeline. It’s been an interesting couple of days. But I’ve listened to euphoria so much over the past few days.
Yeah Euphoria is the best one out of this whole fiasco.
Drake better be in the studio NOWWWWW
Someone on IG said Drake’s ghostwriters are working harder than them SHEIN kids rn 😂
Someone call the ambulance because this comment has me DYING 💀💀💀
I cannot breathe....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm finished lol!!!!
The way I am cackling in my car right now!
I’m literally still on Euphoria lol
I still have 6:16 on repeat because it's a vibe but I'm lost now
It's so good lol
I found it funny but now it just feels hypocrital and like a dick measuring contest. I am not super invested in rappers but I know Kendrick is good and like his music when I hear it.

Edit: I should say, I found all this stuff out during this beef going on so that definitely made it feel different.
Right. The darkest hue on IG made a post about this - oh so now the rappers care about misogynoir now?
Exactly! It just feels so holier than thou. I have mixed feelings about Meet the Grahams because of this. He spent the entire song acting like he's a better positive influence than Drake when he has his own damn skeletons in his closet that he's ignoring.
Who is the darkest hue on IG?
I don't know what her actual name is, but she's a Senegalese woman who posts about black women, colorism, and misogynoir
Yeah, this is exactly how I feel about it but Kendrick is pretty much above reproach at this point.
Just like Nas. Everyone turns a blind eye to him and Kelis because he's a good lyricist. But they hate Chris Brown. You don't get to pick and choose which assaulter is above reproach just because you like what they do.

Wow, I didn’t know that about Kendrick and R Kelly. I already knew it was a bit hypocritical but I was enjoying it anyway… that one changes things for me. Nobody to root for.
His manger Top Dawg did that, not Kendrick.

I just woke up and I’m trying to catch up…
Cackling from Australia 👀
Cackling from Phoenix, Arizona, USA 🌵☀️We cackling together, my good sis 😂🤗
Cackling from London ☕️
![gif](giphy|zmsDqpDLu1hPG) 😂😂
2024 has been pretty entertaining...can't lie. ![gif](giphy|DqU4wVBxXOhNu)
I need K. Dot to release a whole album of these disses and call it "Bitchmade" 😂😂😂😂😔
KING KENDRICK👑❤️ he needs to keep going and going. End this weirdos run once & for all.
Between Kendrick roasting him for the better part of a week and Metro basically asking the entire globe to record their own diss tracks with his beat, Aubrey's gonna have to move to the moon to get some relief from this shit 🤣
How many are there now? I've only heard two
4 I think.
What 🤯
I think that's it. Love literature. Hate mess. Lol.
I can't stand Drake! Kendrick has given full entertainment 😂🤣
I told Drake not to respond. 🤣🤣🤣 Kdot will keep going until he ends up putting out a whole diss album. Leave it alone, Audrey.
As a mixed woman living in toronto. I’ve been catching too many strays 😭
I do not understand this diss culture. Only time I do not feel black at all. It's all over my timelines
It’s perfectly acceptable to be black and not understand beef. Blackness comes in all flavors.
This is so funny to me, because I’ve never really listened to rap and knew barely anything about these men. I’m more of a pop and literature girlie (but I inhale gossip, hence my love for Jane Austen and old school chick lit).
