DRAKE VS G.O.O.D. Music (Update: Pusha Responds)
- Thread starter Lifejumper

While I understand where they're coming from, this is rap beef and worse things have been said before in beef lmaooo people would disintegrate if they heard Ether or Hit 'Em uo
Take a break from the thread, come back when Drake responds. I think he'll address the blackface/etc. in his reply.
Yeah, I chalked it up to him being young and dumb as well and doing something "edgy" without realizing the full weight of it's history. Black people creating and wearing a Jim crow clothing line is subversive enough. Drake becoming Jim Crow to sell these T-shirts completely misses the point and literally reinforces the very thing I assume they were trying to subvert.
I admire your dedication, seriously. But ya boy is in trouble. You're fighting a losing battle. Blackface, telling chicks to get abortions because his dumbass was smashing without a condom, making it personal for no reason, etc. He's a joke, fuck all that lightskin shit.
Scrambling? lol
It was a bad idea to do it. He should've never put on blackface. I don't give a shit who you are, putting on blackface is a bad idea.
The fact that it was his idea makes it worse not better.
How is that supposed to make it better?!
You're digging your own grave here.
Its 2018 and we can and should do better than mock a dude's physical disability.
I honestly don't care about the context to the blackface photoshoot. I'm sure there's a perfectly valid reason behind it and everything but I just think it was the perfect cover to drop alongside a diss track that poked at Drakes insecurity regarding his blackness.
wattba.
wattba.
This is the only thing that should've been left out and if Drake replies he's going to go after Pusha hard for that part.
Can you please tell me what reason is there to put on a coon costume and coon for commercialism besides coonin'?
Thank you!
There is no excuse for that blackface......none what so ever.
I can agree to that, Pusha should have eased up a bit at that part.
I see the "how to defend from the pusha diss" pamphlets have been distributed
Yea this is where I'm at. Context or not, the precision it took to drop it when he did and how he did was masterful. He knows context will come and he knows it won't matter.
Nah he can't do that. He went at cudi for having mental illness.
Matter fact for all you he went too far ppl did OVO 40 say drake went too far when he was dissin cudi illness? He has social media... did he claim it was wrong?? Or did he keep it moving like it was cool. If he said something then ok y'all have a point. If not then that means he condones it so he is open to attack about his illness. Fuck it.
Sorry buddy but hip hop and rap culture is as broad as an ocean and always has been. Conscious rap, spoken words and African beats are old aspects of the culture. Gangster rap is a subset of rap. The thing that yourey talking about is the fact that people respect real. Whatever your truth is be real to that. That's why people look sideways at Drake, not because he's not street. That's a short handed over simplification.
With this logic maybe everyone should forgive Ye for his recent comments about how slavery was a choice. People take things out of context, amirite?
The Adidas/Adidon thing is so perfectly well executed if that is a fact. This whole record.. the release ..the timing.. Chess moves
Even the Budden podcast doesn't like that part... the Noah thing wasn't even clever.
After let the song rest a bit...
I feel Pusha's track isn't better than Drake in how it sticks. It was savage af tho and it will hit Drake hard. The line about 40 and mocking MS was low blow not for him but for everyone suffering that disease.
Overall. Pusha has an edge on Drake and I'm expecting another response, and another one, and another one all summer long. I want to see where this goes.

Then nobody ain't shit to the gawds Barbara Streisand and Tony Bennett
I gotta say, aside from this beef, I'm enjoying watching folks audition for Drake's PR team and reveal that they know shit all about rap at the same time.
It's highly entertaining.
It's highly entertaining.
In terms of a pure music level, I thought Drake's was better. The wordplay with the Ye song titles, the general flow and cohesive message. It just was polished, along with the invoice on Instagram.
Pusha's on the other hand was just straight bombs. It felt like more just spitting dirt reading off a page than anything creatively interesting.
Interested to see where this goes.

if that was the case, Ether would be universally considered a bad diss track because Stillmatic sold a fraction of the Blueprint.
They didn't think it should've been left out. They understood that nothing is off limits.
They are protecting their eventual Drake guest visit after he followed all three of them on ig lmao.
I know, but the track was perfectly fine without it. Still, I won't make a big deal, Drake is ultimately the one to blame for going personal first.
That has everything to do with the beef.
If you can't damage his brand despite stooping so low while unearthing every dirt you have of Drake, you didn't do shit.
Drake will be the artist of the year in every commercial metric unless Adele stealth releases. If this doesn't do a number on Drake, nothing else will--rendering his commercial success untouchable.
And let's be real, this will only expand his reach among the reluctant whites.
See y'all when his album drops.
We've been known about his relationships...
Drake has been talking about the mother of his (maybe) child since last year on More Life.
Articles & blogs were written about this.
But all of a sudden this is news?...When Pusha says it, it's all of a sudden news?
ok
Eh, Cudi started talking shit first... he stepped into the ring and caught shots.
40 didn't even comment on Push calling him out, why's he gonna comment on Drake calling Cudi out? lol. He's kept his head low his entire career and just worked.
You underestimate how much Drake cares about his "street" cred
Which will surely take a hit just like it did with the Meek beef
You need to think about what you are doing In life right now. Like, really think about how adamantly you're defending this guy.
Wait a second...
Ad...
Adonis???
Pretty much. Guys, Justin Bieber sales a lot of albums too, but no one outside his fanbase really gives a shit about him. Obviously, Drake will still make bank because he has a base, but this is about respect. Popularity doesn't mean everything.
