    They still cannot explain exactly how UMG “got involved” with Not Like Us

    It sounds like we will find out, I’m not sure if they did or did not.

    At this point there is no information that suggests it did but again that could change. Just like it could change for any song released through UMG during the beef.

    Realistically their involvement started right when any track was released through the label, this goes for both Drake and Kendrick.

    Rap has traditionally worked this way but as soon as the risk outweighs the reward they won’t want any involvement.

    Both artists said horrendous things about eachother, if you hold the opinion of what Kendrick said was too far I assume you would also hold the opinion that what drake said also crossed the line, meaning that Kendrick can sue for the same things drake did.

    There begins the slippery slope of censorship especially with two artists that willingly engaged in a rap beef.

    I hate how this legal s*** is even being discussed in the vicinity of a hip hop beef, unprecedented

    Not really no. I’m also black.

    However if you see a video of one K-Pop group being racist and then start casually saying the entire genre is racist, that’s similar to conservatives who just casually imply the entire genre of Hip-Hop is criminals and thugs.

    this is a thing in Asia and the music industry that I’m sure is well known by now, where black culture is appropriated but without black people. of course it is ignorant to judge everyone, but then we can’t ever have a discussions about the reality we can clearly see is happening that these young artists ignorantly let out as a joke

    Because they are reacting as if either side is winning when it’s just regular court technicalities

    Facts. Everything UMG has done so far is standard procedure in a big lawsuit

    Now if their motion to dismiss gets denied, that means Drake has at least a prima facie case in the court's view. That's the first actual W worth celebrating

    Right, I agree that’s a completely separate discussion though.

    I’m talking about how ridiculous it is that fader accused him of liking a bunch of racist K-Pop artists and he enjoys their racism just because he simply likes K-Pop. Couldn’t even name any of the K-Pop artists that user likes

    Ahh, we’ve reached the part where you try to deflect and completely change to the discussion to “this user once said this on May 18, 2021 in this thread. You’re siding with them??!” to avoid the current discussion.

    Yep it’s hard to agree with especially with two willing participants.. I don’t know what the resolution of this will end up being but I am pretty confident this won’t be contained to just rap beef moving forward.

    I have ZERO issues with Kendrick suing Drake or even UMG. That's his right and he can exercise it however he sees fit. That's not the issue here. The problem isn't that Kendrick simply called Drake a pedophile. It's that Drake feels like UMG went the extra length to massive push and promote a song calling him that, leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that song went as far as possible.

    I'm not worried about censorship because rap is still the biggest genre in the US. It makes UMG way too much money for them to ever truly move away from rap. That won't be happening.

    Let's all just wait and see how this s*** plays out.
