I love Drake a much as anyone in Drake sxn
but he just wasn't ready

Drake had no ammo once he let Family Matters go

you clearly feel his presence on the mic change drastically from then and Push Ups, even the Buried Alive freestyle, to Heart Pt 6.

If he put out Heart Pt 6 over a conductor beat, it wouldn't have been perceived any differently

i think even calling it that and doing a sequel shows he is lowkey trying his hardest to get musical relevance back

beefing with the smallest of fish in tde is only gonna be good for his profile if it leads to a black hippy member or kendrick. i think its why he keeps pleading kendrick to battle lol

"Signed for 5 years, had your biggest moment from me"

truuuu

even "Crashout" wasnt your original beef

Everyone hating on Ray for finally having his moment

But at least he got here

I’m sure JID could hold his own, he’s the best rapper on that label aside from Cole.

It just feels like Dreamville in general has stayed quiet when it comes to all the competition for a reason. The energy at Dreamville feels kind of off rn, the way it did at TDE from 2019-2021.

gon need an optician to see Ray bands

yeah, ngl after the dreamville albums i had them ontop of the world but you are right, a little quiet over there recently

yes

It was Hov homage but I get it

lol it’s lame that this part of the song is shining so much traction.

he is the one benefitting the most from this tbh, even if he loses

joey has a whole legacy for lyrical rap fans of the 2010s so the fact ray holding his own is impressive

He did what I wanted, went straight up. Let’s see what happens next

I gotta go back and listen I just remember he flipped the Hov line “too much west coast d*** lickin”

Bro made the mistake of taking a long hiatus to focus on acting and came back to rapping RUSTY.

He’s clearly improved since 2000 with these recent tracks, but he definitely shouldn’t have took that long of a hiatus when it came to making music because it came as a detriment to his skills.

Thing about taking a hiatus is, if you aren’t coming with elite quality or having a rock solid fanbase backing you like Tyler, you can’t afford to take a long break in this day and age. You will get left behind.

Joey cooking the west coast

lol nah I thought the song was cool but I was in a convo wit someone the other day and they kept saying he was coming at Kendrick and I honestly couldn’t remember what he said

I feel that

I get why niggas got mad at troy he was being genuinely insensitive but i dont agree with giving Joey a W i dont think he genuinely won tbh

Ray Vaughn*

Put him up against one of the elite rappers from the west, and it’s gonna be more challenging

Daylyt is the best lyricist in cali

Disagree

Not to mention it’s paying homage to Hov who also said that line with the same intention. Thats why I wasn’t quick to run wit “he’s shooting at Kendrick” s*** but I get it because Dot put the west on his back last year

man even kendrick was being put below both cole and drake in the big 3 with the 5 year break. morale was an artistic risk for the casuals, but he was smart to be more commercial with gnx and just straight brag rap, and of course winning the beef helped lol

Even jay sounded off on Kingdom Come. It's tricky

Nothing crazy and it was more towards the west in general you’re right
