Either way drake was asking for this diss by acting like he made future and kendrick just cause he peeped them early
"My pic on the wall when yall cook up" think its rly the oppositr s*** was such a easy layup for kendrick
I still think drake should collab wit new ppl but for his sake not theirs

if Kanye did this im very sure you would call him out for it, but since you’re essentially in love with Drake you’re willing to say dumb and reductive s*** like this instead of actually having a nuanced conversation

I think this is an somewhat overlooked part of the diss that hasn’t been discussed about at length yet, and I just wanted some general input/feedback on this site about what’s the overall thought about it.

”Once upon a time, all of us was in chains
Homie still doubled down callin' us some slaves
Atlanta was the Mecca, buildin' railroads and trains
Bear with me for a second, let me put y'all on game
The settlers was usin' townfolk to make 'em richer
Fast-forward, 2024, you got the same agenda
You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance
Let me break it down for you, this the real nigga challenge”

”You called Future when you didn't see the club (Ayy, what?)
Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up (What?)
21 gave you false street cred
Thug made you feel like you a slime in your head (Ayy, what?)
Quavo said you can be from Northside (What?)
2 Chainz say you good, but he lied
You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars
No, you not a colleague, you a f***in' colonizer
The family matter and the truth of the matter
It was God's plan to show y'all the liar”

Obviously, the general idea of what Kendrick is getting at is that Drake is sort of parasitic on the artists/musicians that he chooses to collaborate with, particularly Atlanta artists. However when we get past this surface level take, I ask, what is the line between being parasitic and harmful to an artists’ growth and development, versus contributing to it and giving them a boost?

I have seen people say that the collabs that Drake chooses to do with lesser known artists are really beneficial for them because it gets more eyes for them, and that it isn’t his job to make sure that they don’t flame out after they gain his feature.

Drake has also been called out for hopping on other sounds and waves even dating back as far back with More Life, and it doesn’t really seem like it was a clear cut consensus for when it came to him adopting accents and slangs from other cultures and music just in general

For a TL;DR: Do you think Drake collaborating with upcoming artists is more for his benefit than theirs? Do you think Drake hopping on somewhat different sounds and waves of a foreign nature for his projects and albums a good thing because maybe it brings it to a larger audience? Or is it appropriation and it waters down the overall sound?

That’s kinda all I got. I know the beef is still somewhat fresh and might not even be necessarily over, but I ask you to please keep it somewhat objective and non-bias as much as possible.

Stop acting like he’s doing anyone a favor. That’s disgusting

He uses other cultures, cities, genres and accents to line his pockets. Then they’re supposed to thank him for exploiting them and watering it down for his basic pop audience?
