Before streaming, labels used to buy their artist music to boost numbers. To fix that problem they created streaming. you’re a fool if you think Drake will change anything from a system he mostly benefited from. If anything this will hurt more artists since DSPs will have to start verifying every stream. Y’all are idiots.
Drake benefited from it. no denying that. The music he made that he benefited from, let me ask you, was any of it, including Back 2 Back, in the vein of Not Like Us? I.e., hateful rhetoric hurling serious allegations like pedophilia? That answer is no…. Now Kendrick benefited from it with just one song right? And that one song made America hate again…. And turn they back on a sweet Toronto kid, a generational hit maker
if Drake has to go down? If they really wanna cancel him. If Kendrick really want him gone. F*** it. Go down with Lucien. Tear this whole s*** down and eat the cost. He be straight at the end.
His focus isn’t Kendrick it’s Lucian
Yeah Drake is suddenly going to turn against the label and the industry that’s had his back and supported him for over 15 years lol. if this was Kendrick you'd probably be spinning some crazy narrative linking him to Israel
Drake as always will sell out for money, get a new better deal and everything will be forgotten. Spotify will keep pushing his garbage music while the quality will still be trash.
Drake and Lucian are buddies...they both... you know what nevermind.
If thats the case then kendrick needs to sue Kirawontmiss, fearedbuck, and scubaryan for posting pro-drake propaganda non-stop
citing a tweet in a lawsuit is no different than citing one of thegreatdivine’s schizo rants as a proof up off of here
I mean anybody with that type of money and power probably f***ed over a lot of people to get there
Akademiks said that he’s good friends w/ Lucian’s son or something and was saying positive stuff about him. I’m personally upset by this revelation because they could be indirectly manipulating hip hop journalism.
a lawsuit composed of tweets, Akademiks, and silly string
war general
LMFAO

Were you going to say because they are both part of the white race that somehow gives them more leverage than normal black artists? Because although Drake has a light complexion I’ve seen him in person and he just looks like a light skin dude like don’t you get what I’m saying?
Ironic midget logic tbh
Your “goat” scrambling and showing his true colors (pussy)
My dad (and im sure other artists) been talking bout radios taking label money under the table ruining the radio experience since the mid 00s.
My opinion is no hit single has ever had an “organic” push from the people solely and solely alone since the radio played a part.
Yes, drake is attacking Lucian. But the vehicle in which he is doing so is a kendrick song.
Your “goat” scrambling and showing his true colors (pussy)
Youre so personally invested. Everything good at home cro?
The gut reaction is b****. The long term reaction once the dust settled is HERO.. he is exposing the music industry for what it is. He has the power to change things. This is amazing

I don’t invest myself in ktt posters like that idk who you are so the answer is no
Read the actual filing document:
“UMG charged Spotify 30% lower licensing fees for NLU than other songs”: No source cited.
“UMG conspired UNKNOWN PARTIES to use bots.” Source: AK YouTube video
“UMG used Siri to misdirect users to Not Like Us”. That’s how Siri and btw Alexa work for EVERYTHING. Unless you specify the specific song and artist when talking to them, it will play the closest match to the request. It played NLU because it contains the lyric certified lover boy. Go ahead and try this with literally any other song when you aren’t exactly specific.
“UMG engaged in similar play to play schemes to increase the air play of NLU” No source cited.
“UMG paid NFR to endorse NLU” Source: a generic tweet by NFR about NLU numbers which by the way has the same kind of tweets for multiple songs including every single Drake song and project that dropped too, even 100gigs tracks. Another cited source in the lawsuit itself is a YouTube video where NFR are hyping up BOTH Drake and Kendrick diss tracks.
“UMG terminated employees with loyalty to Drake” No source cited.
“UMG threatened to bring its own claims against Mr Duckworth if Drake were to pursue claims against UMG” No source cited.
“UMG’s choice to saturate the music market with NLU comes at the expense of other artists, like Drake” Every streaming service and social media was saturated with Drake music for literally years. Now promoting a song is a problem when it’s not Drake? Delusional.
“Petitioner has a viable cause of action for civil RICO. HOWEVER, petitioner REQUIRES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION to frame his complaint” translation: we don’t have s*** but hearsay and conjecture, so UMG please provide proof of our accusations.”
In summary, they don’t have s*** but an AK video and a tweet as proof of anything. This is a last ditch effort by Drake to change the narrative after getting absolutely destroyed. It should come as no surprise he waited till Kendrick album release to do this to try and get some attention away.
Anybody with a brain and that can read knows that this suit is going absolutely nowhere and will not even see anywhere near a court because it’s based on literally zero substantial evidence. And even though that’s OBVIOUS, the crazy schizos will say it was shut down by the Illuminati
No artist has ever gone out more sad.
I find it very hard to believe Drake would sue if everything here is baseless but the way you break it down it really does just seem like a bunch of bullshit
I think I believe some pro-Drake employees got fired. But I'd like to hear both sides on that because it could have been them wanting to suppress NLU despite how much the public wanted it
I'm not an industry insider but I heard that streaming services do offer lowering licensing fees to promote songs more. Idk how this would be illegal though and why it'd be part of the suit
The bot thing and NFR thing are so obviously bullshit it does just seem like he's throwing s*** at the wall
s***s bigger than kendrick atp no pun intended

Gnx thread is right there crackhead.
It’s called multitasking I know that’s for you mr. “Mossad backs kendrick lamar”
Were you going to say because they are both part of the white race that somehow gives them more leverage than normal black artists? Because although Drake has a light complexion I’ve seen him in person and he just looks like a light skin dude like don’t you get what I’m saying?
It's not about skin color, I'm talking about a 3-letter word you can't say or they’ll hit you with labels.
Fact:
GNX has done more streams than FATD on its second, third, AND fourth day now
with 12 less tracks
