It's totally okay for you to say you don't like his solo output, but saying that his solo stuff isn't great when a jury of hundreds of his music peers think otherwise isn't quite fair.
Massive oversimplification of the diss - I'd recommend you relisten to it.
Pusha T wasn't hitting him with "you're a bad dad just like your father" out of nowhere - it was the fact that Drake mentioned Pusha T's fiance and made fun of the institution of marriage. Pusha T psychoanalyze Drake's disdain for marriage as a byproduct of the broken home he was raised in. "Marriage is something that your mother had - why are you disparaging mine?" is the read there. The entire song is a full-circle analysis of Drake's life and the hypocrisy that it inherently has. With a rapper like Drake, it was *always* going to come down to the fact that the anger he has of women comes from the fact that his situation was in complete disarray. Him mentioning Pusha T's relatively normal healthy relationship with Virginia Williams doesn't make sense when Drake originally wanted to force Sophie to terminate her pregnancy because he thought she was looking for a payday.
If you're going to take the lyrics out of context, it'll appear as if you don't really want to give the song credit (which it deservedly does). That online narrative you're talking about didn't appear out of thin air.

Still a great summary of the Burying of Drake by the OG Pusha T.
I mean, I'm talking from my perspective, of course it's subjective. Unfortunately, I've been on this forum for a long time and I've given up on expecting ANYONE here to be able to think for themselves, because I've seen people outright say they can't too many times, obsessed with online narratives, reviews and other people's opinions.
Again, sorry if anyone is offended but it is what it is.
Case in point, you mentioning the jury of music peers like I (or anyone else above the age of 15 with a developed taste, likes and dislikes) should give a fuck about anyone of them.
The second part of your post reads like something from rapgenius. Drake didn't make fun of the institution of marriage LMAO. Drake is a goofball whose entire personality is wanting love, why would he do that. He mentioned Pusha's fiance to make himself seem threatening, it's super simple, and extremely corny, but it's Drake, you expect that stuff from him, and if you don't find it amusing you're taking all of this way too seriously.
Yeah, as I said in the first part of my post, this forum is obsessed with reviews, aggregate scores, too many times I've seen people here literally say they were interested in a game/movie, but after the reviews they gave up on it. I'm not even sure what to say anymore, but I definitely think someone should try to balance out the Pusha stannery and the unwarranted Drake hate, and if it has to be me, sure.
Oh come on. I enjoyed Duppy when it came out, it's a good diss with a good flow and a great beat, but the bits that Pusha hits on with story of adidon are MILES better. Pusha dissects Drake as a person, rapper, his friends and family, his hidden son, and his pornstar girlfriend all in the manner of minutes.
Duppy freestyle covers what, the fact that he helped Kanye write songs and that pusha wasn't that big of a drug dealer back in the day?
And for clarity I think Drake is a great rapper, and deserves to be in conversation for top 20 rap artists of all time and I listen to his music more regularly then Pushas, but as a diss pusha's was way more impressive
This thread had me going back to Duppy Freestyle and Story of Adidon thinking I was crazy or I missed something. Nope. Duppy was nice, but Adidon is just evil. For the purposes of what a diss should be, Adidon was the better record.
Damn, this battle bout to be mid af huh? If this is the type of shit Kendrick and Drake gonna put out, I'm disappointed. Hopefully Kendrick got some heat in the chamber. Shame Cole apologized, maybe Kendrick will say some shit that ropes him back in.
This thread is bonkers to me.
Few Pages back, people comparing Future to Cole… as if Future is up there in the pantheon. I just heard Red Leather and Cole handily outshines him with a throwaway verse. I literally couldn't wait until Future's performance was over. There's no comparison.
Story of Adidon buried Drake. Duppy freestyle doesn't compare.

None of these disses are impressive, from Kendrick's first shot to Drake.
I'm not learning anything new, it's not particularly mean or vicious, it's just low hanging fruit jokes, feel like disses out of obligation rather than actual animosity or drive.
Meg and Nicki had more heat for each other than whatever is going on here.

Holy shit I completely forgot about the Adidon cover art lmao
just that alone buried Drake
I think that leak is real. I like it.
I remember back then when the conversation was how you could tell Pusha-T was someone you shouldn't mess with because he was still wearing braids in 2018. After that Drake's whole style has been braids and leaning into the more gangster stuff. Either way we had better disses before.
So team real wins.
The only line that bothers me is the "I ain't even rappin' after this, I'm way too busy".
I hope he aint trying to bow out now.

Damn, Drake even sent shots at Ja Morant in this lmao
Apparently Ja posted Metro's albums.
"Ayy, shout out to the hooper that be bustin' out the gritty
I know why you mad, nikka, I ain't even trippin'"
Going by another forum, twitter saying Ja and Drake beefin over a chick too.
He went at several ppl in this. Ross, Future, Kendrick, Metro, Ja, Weeknd. Idk what some of yall expected. This is a very decent track for a diss against multiple ppl. Im sure some wanted more venom for Kdot, but maybe kdot shouldve did some shit by himself instead of cliquing up with others to diss Drake. That gave Drake room to handle stuff the way he doing currently.
From the way Mal was talkin, Drake got more than one diss and this may be more bait for Kendrick to drop his nuke.
Anti Drake gang droppped all their stuff. Drake has responded (whenever this releases)
Ball in Kendrick court after this.

Dope response track, not too much but not too little either considering what they have thrown at him so far this seems like the right level approach.
Seems to be mostly factual stuff either without having to resort to under the belt tmz crazyness.
Lets see how it evolves. I assume its gonna be 1v1 from now on once Kdot replies.
Rocky fall off ages ago, he might get some subs in the future but Drake aint dissing any of these guys in a full track outside of kdot.

Its been 6 years, yall still on that beef ? lol
They been friends and close pretty much ever since they came into the game.
Weird way to rewrite history, but i guess thats the thing to do know on the net if you dont feel a certain outcome.
Twas a light pack. More enthusiasm than Cole thankfully, but still mid overall. He better have the extra clips loaded, because that 'I'm to busy too reply later' bar ain't gonna work.
Tbh the fact that Metro is supposedly mad at Drake over a IG chick makes that line even funnier.
can't really say much to rocky ol boy got Rihanna in the end plus has history with drakes bm
Its not like he received Either or No Vaseline, no reason to hit any harder atp.
Good to see him even adress most of the dudes on a solid track - its only gonna be him vs. Kendrick going forward, the other ones arent relevant.
Thats not how this works. Plenty of stuff he could say about Rocky, but doubt he cares that much.
Because it's this lol

Drake didnt link up with Cole to diss. Like that was a Future and Metro only song. Future had a 3rd verse on there and replaced it with Kendrick shit.
Also Drake doesnt need to use Cole as a meat shield. Future/Kendrick/Metro the only ones who using meat shields. Hell this whole album roll out is framed around diss Drake. Like I said earlier, that speaks to how much they need Drake.
Kendrick's biggest shots at drake come from hopping on other ppl's songs. First Control, now Like That. For someone who has been trying to go at Drake for years he seems scared as hell to get shit poppin on his own.
Can't listen atm but I'm glad to hear we've got a proper response. Kendrick's Like That verse felt like an invitation more than anything, the heat is gonna turn up now that Drake's responded
Edit: Ah.
Aren't you the OVO rep that got threadmarked in the last beef thread
Edit: Ah.
I'm starting to get tired of all this negativity to three artists I like. This year has sucked for Black pop culture. This beef makes it worse as most hip hop fans and their tastemakers aren't Black. First, we had Katt Williams, then Nicki Minaj, Kendrick, J Cole and now Drake doing this BS.
How Drake Reacted Hearing J Cole on Metro’s We Still Don’t Trust You Album
Edited short funny skit to drake reacting to Young metro We still don’t trust you album, asap rocky diss, and j Cole on the album😭Original video: https://...
youtu.be
I know how this works but Rocky will always have better counters but I don't think rocky is a priority nowadays anyway either
Hip hop has always had a competitive element, and pop culture has always tended to have a high amount of visibility for the gossip and beef stuff. This isn't a new phenomenon nor is this really a figment of just black culture. There's been a lot of positive news in hip-hop - but yeah, that's not going to drive views, clicks, and reactions like stuff like this.
I don't think it's anything to be overtly concerned about, honestly.
Beef is okay as long they dont go crazy with the personal stuff. As of now its still entertaining and all of them can somewhat benefit from it, once they start involving family member and crazy accusations ill probably be done with it as well, because its gonna spill to some street shit.
Dont know about that Rocky delivery and even that bar on WSDTY was weak. Even if he wanted i dont think he could make a good diss record in 2024, he isnt that type of artist lol.
Hip Hop is sport. This the most positive (no real life drama) styled beef in a while. Like no street stuff should be happening no matter how tough these niggas talk. Nikki and Katt went in on the mess mess. It's different. This is like our version of the Final 4 lol. One team dropped out already. The other just said he takes up 2 slots, and Kendrick is the team to beat.
Whatever happens, Big Sean lost lol.
I need a K.dot only response for the one time and then its time for nuclear tag team combos.
