when rap was "falling off" them two niggas beefed instead of uniting and set a precedent that is gonna influence the rest of the decade

They also refuse to choose heirs

nah i gotta be fair kendrick got keem

That beef was the most exciting mainstream rap has been all decade, they are not to blame for the way things look right now. If that beef never happens then it would look way more dire than it actually does currently

Dang bruh washed as s*** hate it had to be Thug fr this s*** really might be over

“To be fair Charles had Louis XIX”

That nigga dead and gone

Plus nepotism never looked good on rap

It’s in a boring place. No excitement.

I remember Wayne’s ascension and then having niggas like drake tyga and Nicki also coming up under him. The south’s ascension in 05. A whole bunch of dope s*** was happening.

It aint been like that for some years

Do yall not remember how things were on ktt and in rap right before the beef?

We had Melz thirsting over white teenagers and Ian cosplaying as future

The beef pumped new life into hiphop and when Kendrick easily won, tons of artists including Thug were afraid to embrace that because they didn’t want their transactional buddy Drake to get emotional over it

These guys drop trash then act shocked the game is in the dumps

mid off

and drake still wins that

it was only exciting because these two niggas was beefing this is a very dumb argument tbh i think kendrick and drake coulda easily did 10000 more things more exciting than that to "save" rap.

in reality the only winner in this was kendrick and rap hasnt gotten the new breath of life we thought it would

period

Most consistent as in every song on an album sounds the same

niggas really caping for mid ass gunna with GRWM low exposure run club bbl ass music

this ain’t 2020 anymore and that’s not the same nigga who made dod2 and wunna deluxe

Thug and uzi need to have a wash off and whoever loses stops making music

Yeah because Drake stans in general couldn’t accept the L and started attacking basically any rapper who had even the slightest association with Kendrick, causing a further divide amongst the hip-hop community

Suddenly every single issue now somehow relates back to being payback for Drake losing according to his fans, when in reality it’s just the state of rap decaying in the mainstream

Drake and Kendrick linking up wouldn’t have solved anything, if anything it would’ve been seen as the book closing on that chapter of rap and leaving s*** looking even more bleak

Whenever a rapper pops up talking about how rap hasn’t been the same since the beef it’s always been one of Drake little mans like 21, Yachty or Future

The biggest problem in rap is the lack of revenue and the greed and incompetence of the labels

why are you not acknowledging the fact that hip hop media declared the dot era and went on insane lengths to try to make this something it wasnt this is why i hate talking to yall about this because yall not objective lmfao brah it was a civil war not just drake stans attacking rappers

One guy tweeted Dot Era

drake and kendrick linking up for FPS woulda offically put a end to that era and gave room for the next one to start.

like this beef shoulda happened in 2016 lmfao. its like a bomb exploding way after it was dropped

dont talk to me brah u da POLICE

like it didnt have to be FPS but can we all agree that this beef has prolonged this era of rap

The only person who said that s*** was Elliot’s dumbass man why are we taking him seriously in 2025

You niggas took that and ran with it, nobody with a brain thought Kendrick Lamar was about to be the face of rap for the next 5 years. It’s like Curry winning it in 2022, nobody expected him to dominate the league for years after that

Suburban nigga talking about police like hes ever committed a crime in his life
