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
Like That

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
Very US-centric view
a snowball in hell has better chances than little simz being made the face of anything massive in hip hop

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

Incredibly
You can tell they dont listen to much else if its not OVO affiliated

thats how you become an era defining artist i guess. i dont care for 'just let artists be artists' hippie bullshit thats not what we're talking about

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
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
hilarious that so many people feel this way
how you so uninspiring that people get tired of you winning after12 months lmao
thats what happens when you power your success off hate instead of love

Kendrick features on Music weren’t even bad though. Good Credit is tough and always has been.
This ain’t a Goosebumps case

Trippin
I don’t believe in the feature narrative against Kendrick for the most part though
