Drake vs. Kendrick, Future, & Metro - 5/12 - Drake waves the white flag. Beef is over

I cannot see a way in which a music video would publicly identify an 11-year-old child that would be ethical or justifiable.

I mean I want the video.
I want whatever we are getting today lol.
Yeah, if there's any validity to that, then Kendrick did all he needed to do. No need bring it up any further.

The full Joe Budden Podcast on Meet the Grahams through Heart 6 came out on Youtube yesterday, and it's a good time even beyond the clips that have already been posted here (though it's long as hell).

One thing they talk about a lot is strategy, and Drake's arrogance in taking the route he did while being as unprepared for Kendrick as he was. Kendrick played this entire thing absolutely perfectly strategically, and I've enjoyed thinking about why.
People have mentioned the alternate universe where Drake really does try to keep it PG and doesn't mention Whitney's name, and while he has shown no evidence that he can do that, it'd have been a much safer approach. Drake has more to lose and a million skeletons out there due to how exposed he is. He's technically gifted and witty. If he tries to fight Kendrick straight up, I don't think he wins, but it might be close enough that people on his side see him as ahead. Another way of looking at it (an analogy raised in that JBP episode) is that Drake is going in as the favorite due to his numbers and battle experience, but he's someone lots of people want to see fail, kind of like Floyd Mayweather. People tune into the pay-per-view hoping to see Floyd get KO'd, but he knows how to play safe, lean on his advantages, and ensure his win each time.
Drake isn't that kind of person, and one of the things mentioned about his hubris in the podcast is the consequence of the loss to Pusha T. Drake may have told himself he took that L by choice, but he's not happy with it and how it has changed how people perceive him. Kendrick bet that he would feel a need to lash out to prove that he's not soft and not scared to take the battle into the mud, to dispel the criticisms that followed him after Adidon when he refused to follow up. Kendrick didn't bite on the Whitney mention in Push-Ups, but he pushed the line a bit with his bars in Euphoria about Drake's involvement in his son's life, and dared Drake to go deeper. Drake couldn't back down from that (the same way he openly flaunted Kendrick telling him not to use the n-word), stepped into the trap, and the rest was history.
As Budden says here, "In these types of beefs and battles, the person that is less sensitive will have the upper hand."

Someone said imagine if it's not even NotLike Us but Meet the Grahams lol
Horror short movie
All the noise from Kendrick's team has been 'the daughter is real but we aren't going to ruin an 11 year old's life' so I really doubt they're going to show anything in a music video.
Nope. It'd actually be kind of... off-putting to have anything about her in a video for a song that's more about the underage shit than about his family situation.
But yeah, I think tormenting him with it on MTG met the need to address that particular point sufficiently. Anything else gets pretty messy, if for no other reason than that no matter how "ethically" it's brought up by Kendrick, the internet isn't going to be very ethical about it.
Video should just be footage of the Embassy getting raided.
See I'm mad you said that cause I'm a be disappointed if that doesn't happen
"When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad bitches"
Why don't you just ask me who my favorite child is? This is nearly impossible for me! So many I love.
It's an unoriginal dad joke, but for the next two years all dj's will mute the record and let the crowd scream out 'a minooooooooor''
too many to choose a top one, but i gotta throw in
"what is it, the braids?"
you raised a horrible fuckin' person, the nerve of you, dennis
OP
OP
your sons a sick man with sick thoughts i think people like him SHOULD DIE
Photos taken moments before Drake begins to pop ass."When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad bitches"
Is this the forum/reddit game where we all post one line until the end of the track?
It's going to be a scale that has them all and you just slide it up or down by how much you like it. So sexy redd might be 100 while big d might be 50.
I dont think Drake felt like he needed to lash out to prove he's not soft. I think its just how he is nowadays. Like he already did the same shit with Pusha T (and most of the times his disses to other people are also targetting partners of the targets).
I am kinda partial to the next bar
"I hurt your feelings? You don't wanna work with me no more? Okay"
Its the way how Kendrik says the questions and the Okay that just makes me burst every time.
"...I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't nothing bout that"
"God, ah, my confession is yours, but who am I if I don't go war?" I don't know how to explain it, but it felt like an energy shift right there.
Ahhh ok... some of my favorites have been mentioned but I'm a big fan of this underrated gem, Ain't no law boy, you ballboy, fetch Gatorade or somethin
Just love the whole of euphoria tbh. His tone shift when he dives into the 'I'm the biggest hater, I hate the way you…" is so effective. Hits every time. Love that it comes a moment after "We ain't gotta get personal, this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way". Like here's some advice for you but I'm taking it there regardless.

OP
"He's Terrence Thornton, I'm Terence Crawford, yeah, I'm whoopin' feet"
I just love his delivery of 'Tell 'em run to America, they imitate heritage, they can't imitate this violence'
Likely not but that would be crazy
I'd definitely like this better
theres too many bars but "Dear Adonis, I'm sorry that man is your father" might be the best one because of the sheer audacity. The fact that scary ass track STARTS with that and immediately makes everyone pause it is crazy. That shit is so disrespectful
Everybody wanna be a demon till they get chipped by a throwaway.
I pray you're my real friends
And if not I'm YNW Melly.
Extortion my middle name as soon as you jump off of that plane bitch. I'm allergic to the lame shit only you like being famous.

I agree.
Things have been said, and Not Like Us freed us from ending this in a depressive spiral. We good. No need for more.
Gross. We don't need proof. No one should need proof. No good way to show proof.
Honestly I hope she does not exist. She does not deserve to get her life blown up by assholes on the internet.
A day in the life of Kendrick doing daddy duties would be hilarious
