Tekii think it's a little different: with the Pusha - Drake beef there had been several subs throughout the years
With the René - Balvin situation it all "started" (I put started between quotes because I think there must have been a lot of animosity behind the scenes, which is the real beginning of the situation) when Balvin tried to boycott the grammys.
I understand Balvin's position, in a way: given the importance of Reggaeton in the latin music scene today, it definitely could have more nominations.
I also understand René's side: a lot of underground artists get their time in the spotlight with the grammys and reggaeton artists like Balvin, Benito, Rauw, etc. are gonna have a lot more award shows to shine (Billboard Latin Music Awards, e.g.). Besides, that year the grammy's were honoring Rúben Blades, someone who René admires.
What I don't understand is the proportion René felt this situation needed to assume: Balvin has, without doubt, made some distasteful comments / actions (e.g. Perra video, DY comment, Colombia situation, etc.) but he didn't call René out individually and, besides that, to call him a racist? Balvin was on Perra with Tokischa, Balvin made music with Yendry, Arcangel (who is also one of his best friends), Sech, etc, all recently and all great light or dark-skinned artists.
Balvin has also said Tego is one of his biggest inspirations (if not the biggest).
My point is: we can't use the term racist that loosely, especially given Balvin's actions in the past, music-wise (giving an opportunity and a platform to these artists).
I also think René has a lot of personal issues with Balvin, that stem way beyond this particular situation, and he used the Balvin take on the Grammys to attack.Nice and interesting post bro I do think you're right with the last 2 paragraphs but to be fair though, I do think he makes that clear that it's bigger than the racist and Grammy s***. The first 2 verses are going at the industry and his problems with it with indirects and then the 3rd fully going at Balvin as the prime example with personal s*** added
I feel you that the racist thing may be a lil harsh, but it is a diss track, if you going at someone you going to use what's at your disposal and go hard with it (for sure it's a diff scenario but again Push using those images of Drake in black face comes to mind as an example)
I just love seeing a well crafted viscious takedown of someone
certain art to it

they're style was just so good, never to be duplicated. The gun shots(tan tan tan tan!)build up for their reggaeton beats was just chefs kiss
