It’s already been a growing sentiment that Atlanta only f***ed with Drake via future.
In the worst case scenario:
Losing to Kendrick is respectable
Losing to future, has longer business ramifications
He stands to lose less battling Kendrick than future
There's no way to win a battle with Future though. If he drops a Future diss song then what? Nobody will expect him to respond with a diss song. Same when he dissed Kanye, nobody expected Kanye to respond.
I really don't see a path for Drake to "win". Sure on paper he can win a back and forth with Kendrick but whatever is happening is bigger than that
Did he lie though? Let’s be very real, Kendrick hasn’t seemed like he’s in a good place. He was literally just in shambles about whether he’s our savior. Now this comes out of nowhere? It’s erratic behavior. Maybe it’s not right to battle someone who is clearly battling their own demons.
Save this for ye
I guess we can get into what you think would be the most effective way to respond if you were Drake at this juncture. Do you still think he could be in this fight or even win?
The advantage Kendrick has right now is that he dissed him on a song that is overwhelmingly the most popular song right now. Even though the whole song isn’t about Drake, it’s very similar to how Drake dropped Back to Back on Meek. This record is going to be here for a bit.
The first problem that Drake faces is that once he drops a response record, people will immediately judge whether it’s harder than Like That (which is a really good record. Diss aside). And based off of what he did with FATD, I just dont know if he’s gonna come with that on such short notice.
The second problem is, I just absolutely feel like his pen isn’t better. And after he responds, I think Kendrick is gonna let his real diss go just like Pusha did. Like That is absolutely bait just like Infrared was. There’s no way Kendrick did this record and is anticipating that nothing at all is coming back.
they are all bigger than metro individually
True but he’s putting them all together
Would I be wrong to say Metro is lowkey the one pulling all the strings?
It's not a bad guess. First the public got word of any of this was when Metro was tweet and deleting. It's possible Drake f***ed Metro's girl and Metro is way more respected among rappers.
But that's all we can do, guess
they are all bigger than metro individually
Metro is pulling the strings tho. Kendrick didn’t just magically appear on that record.
If I had to compare it to anything it’s like The cabal from secret wars.
Metro is Namor
Kendrick is thanos and you can fill in other people as you go.
I don’t think we can discount weeknd’s involvement either
But they told me he would respond with a Back to Back level 7 minute diss track
Disappointing
Story of adidon bait must have really got to him then

Exactly. IMO I would go completely f*** everything. I’d drop one last project dishing all of them and go out with a bang. If I’m going to get jumped I might as well try to bring everyone down with me
The only thing I will say if we go with the theory that Drake has been moving slimy on his long time collaborators —— Metro, Future, Ross etc. —— why disengage with him now ?
He’s the biggest artist. He gives them their biggest tracks. Feel like they’ve just always had industry friendships. They aren’t good enough lyricists to go at him, so they literally waited until someone who was got at him.
If the roles were reversed….
I been saying this for days lol. It's fine everybody picked a side before the verse even dropped and is staying there
Reminder that Drake has never won a diss battle with rappers that matters
Drake is slowly being exposed as a fraud
This is so hard to watch as a fan
This was my PAPI
And he is making Instagram captions
It’s truly over
I'm a Drake hater but this has gotten bigger than Kendrick lol. Even though in the rap world he definitely needs to respond to that verse, it's Future it seems like he's actually at war with lmao
After the IG post, I'm expecting to pull a Duppy and pivot to Future.....didn't end well last time

That would be hard as f*** but Drake not doing that let's be real

Drake held his own against Common
I bet you Future, Weeknd and Metro were all in the studio together like “man f*** that nigga Drake” and then they hatched this plan
what did Aubrey do to Ross
He gave Ross’s ex tickets to his concert. Assuming he was dirty macking.
