    Im not chalking it up to Drake. It did what it did because it was a diss song. Kendrick against the so called big 3 is what made me go. Thats a beef the whole rap world been waiting on for a decade and Like That kicked it off

    But it also had to be amazing

    If the formula was just “make a diss song and go number 1” then Drake would’ve had at least ONE during the beef

    Kendrick’s songs were so undeniable that he blocked HIMSELF from having 3 number 1s during the battle

    Drake is a prime example why Popularity + Diss song doesn’t always equal a Hit

    The hardest he’ll go is do that same old flow over a bunch of Conductor Williams beats & whatever random producer he finds at the moment to make some generic trap for him to tack a 21 Savage or Lil Yachty ft onto

    That would be disappointing af

    Wanting one person fo be the face of rap is lame

    ill be honest i do not doubt that 'that one' young feller sikkx93dsjfn is 'the one' rn i just need all of these funny name dudes to make ONE album with direction and good songs. if all there is to them is funny sounding singles and random music vids then kendrick is here to stay

    I think to be era-defining you have to stand out in an era full of standouts

    Which I think Kendrick has already done, its just becoming more obvious to see in hindsight especially in rap

    In pop or whatever you can make whatever streaming number arguments you want

    Nobody is going to agree on who the face of the genre in 2025 is besides stans anyway

    Why would I care about that

    True Kendrick did go for hit diss records.

    I guess the only one Drake wanted to be a hit was Push Ups but that didnt do much

    To be fair Push ups did leak, probably would've been bigger if the release wasn't sloppy

    and I think he did want FM to be a hit, there a clean version, a music video, it just got stepped on, and was probably a little too long

    Every move been on point since the beef.

    I don't even have a problem with Kendrick fr.

    Its the over the top glazing. Dot has done everything correct keeping it a buck.

    I just can’t ever imagine having my musical feelings and opinions be determined by the actions of other people

  • Kendrick is great but yeah I feel OP

    What about his output post 2015 had you expecting a great drake project

    Drake made fire and desires and teenage fever so I thought he could make a great rnb album. I was wrong. I know

    There is one main difference between Drake and Kendrick and thats features. Drake would slide on a Future, Baby etc, song effortlessly, Kendrick can't do that.

    The feature terrorism on Music did not work out

    nigga said feature terrorism like that whole album isn’t carti being an audio terrorist

    Kendrick features on Music weren’t even bad though. Good Credit is tough and always has been.
