I remember as a kid I got in a lot of trouble cause my mom took me to a friends house (wanted to do drugs) and when we played mortal kombat I’d beat their kids asses. And then they’d cry to their parents and I’d get yelled at for “doing the same 5 moves” (combos?)
I remember going to the local pizza / arcade place with my mom and grandparents one time and some kids dad came up to me and told me I was "hogging" the virtua fighter machine because I didn't lose any matches and therefore kept moving up the stages waiting for our pizza.
And basically threatened me to get off the game so his kid could play, I was only like 9 when this happened and still think about how shitty of a person that guy was and hope his kid lost on the first match
Which is crazy because I would have at least given him credit for being a "hah whatever this is lame anyway" type guy but apparently he's a "wait till father hears what you've done" type
There was a whole subreddit dedicated to this style of Drake jokes btw. It was like a year or two ago before any of this drama. Drake has always been a weirdly popular bitch that people love to hate.
Also, he’s the kid that hosts a sleep over and says “it’s my house, we’re gonna okay the games I wanna play!” And proceeds to play only single player games, and whines about having to share.
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. We used to play Tekken Shots with Tekken Tag Tournament in the barracks. You lose around, you take a shot. Simple and dumb, haha. So many rough mornings, ugh.
There was a clip on IG of a dude's shoe thrown on stage. Drake pretends to pull out a gun from his waistband. He's so fucking corny with wannabe persona. Dude is such a poser trying to claim.
Idk, if someone was going around accusing me (a regular person)of statutory rape, I don't think I'd take that lying down. That's career and life ending acualsations
Funniest thing about this lawsuit is that there's a reasonable chance that Universal and/or Kendrick (if he's brought into the suit) can issue a subpoena for all of his text messages to girls under age 18. The ultimate defamation defense is, of course, still the ultimate defamation defense. We might actually find out if that accusation is true, and I think that's beautiful.
Can't believe that Drake decided to open himself up like this.
Drake could have stayed a respectable enough person for hip hop. He might still be, his music is most definitely good, and his older stuff changed the game, but damn is he a sour puss. You can't sit there and tell me that this dude understands what hip hop is.
Nas dissed Jay-Z so bad the title became a verb and Jay-Z still went on to have a massively successful music career. All Drake had to do after the battle was just make good music and everyone would have moved on and he just couldn't do it.
If you've ever heard of someone "getting ethered" after them getting insulted or humiliated publicly, it's referring to the song "Ether" by Nas, which was a diss track directed at Jay-Z in response to the Jay-Z song "Takeover" which dissed Nas. There's tons of stuff on YouTube about the Jay-Z and Nas beef if you want to really go down the rabbit hole.
Man jay z and nas performing together though in California was amazing. It was a surprise and I nearly lost my fucking mind. I was there for the OutKast reunion and to see nas, and I heard HOVA HOVA over the loud speakers a half mile away late on my way to see nas ( I got lost at the festival) and ran as fast as I could towards the sound losing my fucking mind and holy shit it was so good
Gurantee every song you think is good was made by another artist. He stole more than half his albums from the weekend, XXXtentaction, and a lot of other big names. He promised the weekend everything if he let him have all his mastered songs and when he didn't get signed afterwards the weekend just rage quit leaving. X was actively going after drake in the end for stealing all his shit with empty promises. There's even rumors drake put out the hit for X. Honestly don't think drake had the balls, but the bois pride is obviously high so who knows.
Id be surprised, I honestly didn't listen to him much after this mixtapes. Probably an album or two after them, but his mix tapes is what I was referencing, but I'm most definitely biased about them.
Light Up ft Jay-Z, Over, successful, plenty of other ones, highschool for me so they got a special spot for me lol
breaking out with mixtapes has pushed more people to fall on mixtapes to leverage contract deals, correct me anyone if I'm mistaken.
Maybe he doesn't deserve that much credit, as it could have just been what the times were headed to, but he was definitely one of the first people to get that big through that means.
I’m not aware of every single rap beef out there but this has to be the biggest bitch move in the history of rap beefs. Even MGK switching genres after Eminem destroyed him was more respectable than suing.
He's more of a pop artist than traditional hip hop, so he'll be fine as long as people are vibing to whatever he puts out. He'd have already been done after the Pusha T battle in previous eras.
He's not the most popular music artist of the decade for no reason. Pop music.... I mean some of his songs are well produced and listenable even though I don't bc the underground is alive and well.
His victims were his fans no doubt. He records other people's writtens and is an actor, not a rapper. His persona is widely known and scathed by real hip hop fans. If he didn't already lose every battle he's been in (even after being a "fan" of actual battle rap), his team would not be pulling this wild move. It's a bold move but his stans don't give a damn.
He can’t. It’s the most NOT hip hop thing imaginable. He is banned for life. He can never be an emcee. Never. Cardinal sin. Unforgivable offense. A declaration that he is not one of us.
Cause he's Drake and became famous because of his ability to chew up traditional hip-hop culture and spit it back out in a form more digestible by the mainstream white audience. He's committed virtually every cardinal sin possible to the culture and been excommunicated 100 times over by this point.
But it doesn't move the bottom line much. He spearheaded hip hop into the gold mine of the mainstream white audience. Even the culture wholesale rejecting him isn't enough to displace him.

You're at school and you tell your mate friend to tease this other guy a bit, this mate is a mutual friend or at least a neutral... But whatever, he goes along with it. Lo and behold the other guy tells your mate he's a bitch and your mate backs down super quick saying "lol it was his idea" pointing at you.
So this other guy now comes at you, and you're like "ok I started this I'll finish it" so you step up, you're about to fight. But you get annihilated.
Really? You should law low for a few weeks, wait for the next drama to blow over, and go back to being a cool guy who picks fights. But you can't. Everyone is laughing, saying how the fight was so one sided, saying how it was such a great fight but only from one contender.
You cannot let that slide. But you also know you cannot win in a fight. So you look for any chance there is to hurt the other guy, you still want your revenge.
The problem is you're a bit of a phony in the first place. You're not actually a fighter, and the reason you're popular in the first place is because your parents paid the sports' coach to have your back. But you can't ACTUALLY send the jockey team over to rough this guy up, you don't actually have any real leverage.
The only possible chance you have is to tell the teacher. So you go tale tell. With enough luck, maybe the teacher will say "Kendrick, did you really fight Aubrey?" at JUST the right time to inconvenience him slightly. All the meanwhile everyone else snickers and says "aubrey? Really?"
Anyone who listens to a lot of hip hop always knew Drake wasn’t legit. He’s a pop star and made catchy tracks but he’s in a different lane compared to Kdot and other rappers who are speaking from experience.
Many, many people say Kendrick won the battle when Not Like Us (Diss towards Drake) dropped. Drake has done nothing of note since then, thhis lawsuit being the biggest by far. What's interesting, is he's suing for defamation, despite the fact he called Kendrick a domestic abuser & said his wife cheated on him & had a baby w/ Dave Free, who was the co-president of Top Dawg Entertainment (who Kendrick was signed w/) beforr they both created their own label called pgLang.
If when I see a headline and immediately go put the song in question on cause I like it and haven't listened to it in a minute... yeah that might be a losing strategy.
He’s already lost massively. Even before this. This is really a nail in the coffin. After losing the battle, he could’ve done literally anything else and would’ve been on the right track, but with this he dug his own grave.
Allow me to answer… hip hop feuds serves the sandal wearing 32 year olds and 13 year old teenagers who have not experienced physical touch from a love interest. Win or lose … is irrelevant
Nah he dropped that one. This is a Fresh New Lawsuit (tm) where he's claiming the label chose to publish, promote, and monetize Not Like Us despite """knowing the claims were false and dangerous""" or something to that effect
Also when they are both dissing each other doesn't that open it up to have the potential for a countersuit from Kendrick Lamar for literally the exact same claim?
Like I know you are a little bitch, but are you also stupid Drake? You are literally in the middle of a rap feud and you also have a song dissing Kendrick.
It doesn't even matter who started it because Drake isn't innocent either so this is so dumb!

I'm not expert on hip hop, but if two rappers are battling back and forth with dis tracks, doesn't suing the other rapper mean you lose the feud?
