kendrick vs drake is like a grown ass man taking candy from a child. has there been a single second in drake's career where he has been anything other than a laughing stock? if you care about this in any way you are a fucking tool
Ok but what if it’s a situation where the baby who’s getting their candy stolen deserves it
hey if this kills drake's career i'm not going to complain about it, but until it does it's literally just marketing for both of them
Marketing? Marketing is if they kept calling each other bums and comparing themselves to Michael Jackson lol. They’re accusing each other domestic abuse and sex trafficking and abandoning children. That’s not marketing lol
Kendrick see Drake as a clown and evil person. Neither of them really care about each other’s music.
Maybe the mj comparison holds
Ummm actually Drake is a hebephile while MJ was a pedophile
Man sure wish I was that person but that doesn't really sound that much like me
Yeah all Drake has is commerical success. Which no one who takes music seriously cares about in determining the quality of someone's work. Many mediocre artists are commercially successful. Taylor Swift is the most commercially successful artist right now, despite her latest album having some pretty horrific lyrics. Beyoncé is commercially successful because she has a whole team behind her to engineer her music, like most pop stars. Drake is the most commercially successful rapper even though most of his shit sounds like fake tough guy poser talk and is very clearly ghostwritten.
No one really cares about that. Abbey Road by the Beatles is remembered as one of the best albums ever made, even though it did not win the Grammy that year. No one alive today is going to say that whatever album that won the Grammy in 1970 is better than Abbey Road.
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all time are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all time. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics, instead, are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers.
Drake never claimed his music is superior though. He only bragged about his wealth and consistent drops. Kendrick really only bragged about his music compared to J Cole. Kendrick’s beef against Drake is against him as a human being, not his music. He also has a problem against Drake’s artistry because he believes he disrespects black culture for profit.
It’s weird that people keep talking about musical quality because it shows they’re not paying attention to what’s going on. It’s only about music between select individuals in the beef (e.g. Metro and Drake, Kendrick and Cole, Kanye and Drake, Drake and Ross)
That being said I find Kendrick’s disses to be boring or straight terrible, musically. He needs to switch up his style
This is such a bizarre out of touch comment lol. He’s a sleazy pedophile who steals from other artists, but that really doesn’t matter because he is consistently in the top charts with millions of fans and hundred million dollar contracts. He’s a laughing stock with his lyrics, sure, but you’re acting like his image is a universal one
this post aged like fine wine hahahaha
Let people enjoy things
no, that's literally the last thing anyone should do
You don’t go outside stfu
