Two things: 1. Vald is a guest in our space. Act accordingly.
B. The mix is not important right now but you and Vald really need to lodge that criticism huh? Have a good day sir.
I am not talking at you and just responding to the post in General.
“A Guest in our space” is some coon shit because it looks crazy to call some people culture vultures when a Cracka is signing their checks.
Makes no sense to me
This makes no sense to me when Crackas are signing the checks. It’s cringe worthy to hear because we coming off like some house niggas.
This person X is a colonizer but they have a Cracka sign their check and be like yes and no sir in their present smh
Most of those was r&b tracks tho
And he's not done the higher ups guarantees another 5-7 yrs on top
This is so true.
I'm confused
Is it his baby mama, wife or fiance?
I think this what some hip hop fans mean about truth vs lies.
This shouldn't be a difficult answer.
So...like you, I'm just generally speaking here. Coon shit is allowing everyone to gate keep but expecting black people to break out the welcome mat and welcome disrespect with open arms. My managers name is Kevin. Tell him I said hi.
Ha Ha Bills
They write themselves
The raps write themselves
Drake has Ghost writers
3 hour time difference
Ha Ha!
MODS!! WE HAVE A PGLANG PLANT!!!
INTERLOPER!!!!
I know this is old, but this isn't helping.
Good lawd there are going to be thousands of think pieces from people who haven't listened to hip hop since they smoked their first and last joint at a cypress hill concert

You and your pg Lang goons are relentless
I’m not talking about JUST Not Like Us, but the others. I can’t circulate through XM without hearing either of them. I’ve YET to hear Drakes songs however, but we’ll agree to disagree and keep it moving.
We know. That's why we wish you would just shut the fuck up.
These are the legit the only time capsuled, uncorrupted people I wanna hear from.
Unfettered, unchanged, ears that KNOW what hip hop music is, was and should be.
Let’s gooooo!

Talking about music here. No spoilers, and all songs mentioned will be linked to for reference (except ‘Taylor Made’ for obvious reasons).
Music is something that constantly around me in my life, as I talked about in a recent post, but I don’t talk about it much here as I feel I am nowhere near knowledgeable as I am when it comes to film, television, and video games (and even them, there are people with far bigger knowledge bases than I). But some things are important to talk about. I am ashamed to say that I was introduced to hip-hop through Eminem, to emphasise the stereotype of white hip-hop enjoyers. But I expanded out and listened to a variety of artists and feel I have at least a basic understanding of the scene and have an appreciation for the importance of flow, a good beat, and — like all art — important themes. My love of story and character inevitably led me to the storytelling artists including Tyler the Creator, Mos Def, Tupac Shakur, and, of course, Kendrick Lamar. I haven’t listened to everyone, and likely anyone with a bigger history in the genre will easily be able to school me on knowledge and articulate arguments but Kendrick is my G.O.A.T. Not an original opinion but still one that gets pushback from a fair amount of hip-hop fans. I also never really listen to much battle rap. Occasionally, there would be an interesting diss track, or the organised battles that end up being more poetry slam than rap battle, but that’s not to say I dislike the sub-genre. I wasn’t even really aware of the beef between Kendrick and Drake before ‘euphoria’ dropped a few days ago but now that I’m caught up, and three more diss tracks released from the pair, it’s been a fun and crazy last few days. There’s not really anyone I can talk to about this, most of my friends don’t really touch the genre and the ones who do occasionally probably know less than I do. So that’s likely why this has been written and you’re reading it now.
First some opinions on Drake. I forget Drake is even an artist sometimes, mostly because he blurs into the sea of generic pop artists that plague modern charts. Apart from a few exceptions, I find most modern chart artists to be a dull blur of pop, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music that somehow manages to lose anything that makes those genres interesting to listen to. Yet, they make money and people love to listen. It’s just one of those things I guess. But then there’s Drake. Not only can I not name a single hit that is memorable, I can’t even name a song. Literally. I know not one song from the man and when I try to think, I just hear a dull drone in my head whilst someone mumbles about nothing. Actually, I tell a lie. ‘Hotline Bling’ just jumped into my head, but that might be the small Billie Eilish edit is something I actually listen to. Sure the song was big at the time of release, but without Billie, I doubt I would remember it. This paragraph is all just to say that I am already coming into this beef and diss tracks with a very one-sided opinion. It’s my disclaimer. If you’re a Drake fan, you’re not going to like this. You may have already closed the tab by now with my explanation of how I see the man.
I went back and listened to Kendrick’s feature on ‘Like That’ by Future. I think I had already listened to it when it was first released back in March, but I guess I didn’t catch up on why it was circulating more than it would’ve without Kendrick’s line of “motherfuck the big three, n****, it’s just big me” until later on. Not really that hard a line, something many young and upcoming artists would throw away on a track, and something that doesn’t really mean much in the grand scheme of the scene. J-Cole, who the “big three” idea came from in the first place, did come back with a response before deleting it and apologising. Probably the best thing he could’ve done seeing what’s now happened. But it was not till both ‘Push Ups’ and ‘Taylor Made’ were released that things properly kicked off, the latter being the most important. ‘Taylor Made’ was not only something that would make Jacob Rees-Mogg lie down and fall asleep but also contained AI versions of both Tupac and Snoop Dogg. Not only is it a weird move to use two artists’ voices to diss another without their permission, but as many of you will know, Tupac is dead. Which is just weird and creepy. Not only this, but Kendrick has been one to cite Shakur as a major influence including using interview clips in the ending to the last song ‘Mortal Man’ on ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’. He has been a friend to Tupac’s estate and it was no surprise that the estate made comment on the choice which caused Drake to take down the song a week later.
Then Kendrick dropped ‘euphoria’. Not only is K-dot’s excellent penmanship on display as usual, running rings around Drake who can only just about string a sentence together, but the song is actually listenable without the context of the beef. The six minute and twenty-four seconds song has two beat switches and goes into Kendrick’s hatred for Drake. Most of the tracks so far have had a recurring theme as they were exchanged. Drake drips out more information and gives more effort into how the disses themselves are brought up. Whilst Kendrick manages to say more with less and sends us on our own journey into our lives, thinking of much deeper things that Drake could never dream of. Some claimed the song to not dish out that much in terms of disses and comebacks to Drake’s tracks so far in the feud, but as we would soon learn Kendrick had barely started. ‘6:16 in LA’ also dropped on Instagram but the lyrics would merely serve as a warning as to what would come in later tracks. The song itself is pretty good in terms of a beat. Definitely something to put on during a sunny car journey.
Then Drake’s only redemption in this feud dropped in the song ‘Family Matters’. The song itself is that modern chart nonsense that drones on to nothing but the disses themselves are of a much better standard and Drake does make some accusations that, if they are true (which is one of the biggest things in these latest tracks), will actually give me thought as to whether I should be listening to Kendrick from now on. The initial stuff is some of the more throwaway things including Kendrick’s infidelity which he already addressed on his latest album ‘Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers’ as well as an accusation that one of Kendrick’s children may actually be Dave Free’s which I’m not sure what to say about it other than “okay?”. But then the main accusation is about the alleged domestic abuse of Kendrick’s partner and mother of his children, Whitney, with the lines “When you put your hands on your girl, is it self defense ’cause she bigger than you?” and “They hired a crisis management team to clean up the fact that you beat on your queen.”. From now on there needs to be a big banner over every line that I mention saying “allegedly” with all the accusations that are thrown around. Because this is some serious stuff and as I mentioned, if this isn’t fake or isn’t explainable (which would be a very small chance if it is true) then I don’t know if I would feel comfortable revisiting TPaB or Damn. Two albums that I regularly go back to when certain moods come to the surface. But overall, a good track from Drake in terms of the battle aspect, even if the beat puts me to sleep.
Then ‘meet the grahams’ happened and the world exploded. Kendrick did not even wait a full hour before dropping this wild and prepped track. I assume it was prepared before ‘Family Matters’ dropped though, knowing Kendrick, I wouldn’t put it past him to have a beat ready and come up with something in twenty minutes. ‘meet the grahams’ is split into four sections as Kendrick addresses different members of Drake’s family. He opens the song towards Drake’s son who was hidden from the public until Pusha T revealed the existence of the child of his track ‘The Story of Adidon’. The second is addressed at Drake’s parents with the fourth directed towards the artist himself. The third is where one of the big alleged accusations comes in from Kendrick as he talks towards an alleged daughter of Drake’s that has been hidden for eleven years. An absolutely wild accusation that so far has not been proved even with the loose connection of a tweet from Drake around twelve years ago could mean absolutely nothing. The song goes through accusations that Kendrick levels at Drake’s family members one by one in Lamar’s usual style of layering meaning upon meaning with each line. The beat, although a little repetitive, is actually really enjoyable and bounces along with Kendrick’s calm delivery. The other, and more serious, accusations Kendrick serves to Drake include some shady and disturbing activities that he and his group get up to that I would rather not repeat here as it is some really disgusting stuff. You can google the song or follow the link and you will soon see what I mean but as we’ve all said it’s all alleged and things will need to be proven before anything should be done about it. The best line from the song is actually its last as Kendrick becomes more and more agitated in the final lines, losing the calmness throughout the majority of the song and states “Fuck a rap battle, this a long life battle with yourself.”. This appeared to be the end of this beef. Although a number of Drake fans were huffing that copium as they tried to push aside the song as “dull” (which is ironic coming from Drake fans), The general thought was that ‘meet the grahams’ might be the death nail in Drake’s coffin if these accusations in the song were true.
So people walked away, expecting to wait for the next Drake response to drop, if he even responded at all. But instead, twenty hours later, Kendrick just decided to release another diss track, ‘Not Like Us’. The man is relentless, the Simpsons meme came out in full, and people who were only just about recovering from the last song were subjected to another round from Kendrick. The song is much more of a bouncy beat compared to all of the other tracks and is similar to ‘6:16 in LA’ in terms of its song and lyrics. Though, to be fair, the disses go a little harder but ultimately revisit a lot that has been said with ‘meet the grahams’.
It’s been a fun few days catching up on, and experiencing live, the drops of both artists’ songs in this ongoing battle. For me, to no one’s surprise if you’ve read this far, Kendrick is easily on top at the moment, and has likely delivered the kill shot. But I’m not that knowledgeable and maybe Drake hits back with something decent or either of them provides proof for the accusations they’ve made. I’ll keep my eyes peeled and see what happens. Let’s be civil about this.
I don’t have a hatin’ bone in my body.
