Of course Mr. Graham would be reporting this himself but he is terrified

Happy Tuesday. Here’s your Tuesday Tech Drop, a curated list of the past week’s top stories from the intersection of politics and the all-inclusive world of technology.

Drake brings lawyers to a rap battle​

Rapper Drake — who once dismissed artists who take legal action with the lyric, “a cease-and-desist is for hoes” — seems to have had a change of heart after taking a lyrical drubbing from Pulitzer-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar this summer.

In a petition filed Monday in New York, Drake launched a legal attack against his own record label, Universal Music Group, and Spotify, which he accuses of harming him by allegedly boosting Lamar’s song “They Not Like Us,” a scathing diss track aimed at Drake and his associates. (Lamar is also signed to UMG.)
Drake’s petition, which seeks information to support a potential lawsuit, claims that UMG and Spotify engaged in a high-tech “scheme” using bots, reduced licensing fees and paid influencers to boost the song illegally. A second petition, filed in Texas, alleges UMG engaged in a pay-for-play scheme with iHeartMedia to help boost the song, which the petition also claims defamed Drake.
UMG provided NBC News with a pretty scathing response to the first suit:
The suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue. We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotional campaigns. No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.”
Spotify declined to comment Tuesday to NBC News, but its website says the platform has practices in place to prevent artificial streaming.
As you might imagine, Drake resorting to the courts for help in the midst of a rap beef has been met with some pretty savage mockery. After all, Drake himself has put baseless claims about other artists, including Lamar, in his tracks, and he’s used social media influencers to hype his music. And he’s also taken advantage of shifts in the infrastructure of the music industry throughout his career, so in some ways, it seems Drake is raging against the machine that made him.
Now it looks like a messy legal battle is on the horizon, which could shake loose all sorts of details about the inner workings of the music industry. One thing is for certain: Drake has made history as the first rapper to take legal action against Big Tech for the L he took during a beef.

it wasnt the biggest battle of all time though...
What was?

Social media increases engagement. It seems way bigger than Pac/Biggie or Nas/Jay-Z to me-- To say nothing about song quality or the merits but it just seems like the biggest now is going to be by default way bigger than anything pre-2008.

This shit was unavoidable. I was pretty late to it but it seemed like something you just had to pay attention to.

They played Not Like Us at the DNC for cryin' out loud... That's because of it's unparalleled cultural resonance.
Nothing was bigger than Big and Pac; nothing!!!
"Who Shot Ya" didn't even mention Tupac-- it was a pretty one-sided feud.

I think it mainly became legend because they both died shortly after.

How would you quantify it?
Regardless of the songs or what not; it accompanied 2 coast; and all the east vs west shit that occurred during and afterwards; and all the artist that were involved!! So many!! Kdot and Drake was just that; pac and big was bigger
It seems that a regional feud (California vs NY) is definitionally less wide-reaching than Kendrick vs Drake (not just national but international).

I also beg to differ on "regardless of the songs"-- that shit had one memorable song with direct hits. It doesn't compare.

Personally, I think Nas/Jay-Z beats 2pac/Biggie for that reason.
You must not been around during that time! The big pac beef wasn’t regional; it engulf all of hip hop!! And at that time the overwhelming majority of acts came out of either NY or LA ! Again common, who was from Chicago, was involved; just as an example! So it kills in comparison; you guys get caught up in social media like it’s the only thing in the world. Social media doesn’t make it bigger…
I was single digits in age...

I do think social media is an amplifier and it absolutely does make things bigger. Kendrick/Drake, with the exact same songs, would not have been nearly as big 20 years ago.

The conversation here is "bigger" not "best"...

I thought back to this just now because I think Kendrick has had possibly the biggest year of any rapper this century.

Only competition is Eminem over 20 years ago when he had the #1 album (TES), #1 movie & #1 song off of a different album.


My post from another thread, in response to someone posting "Drake gotta be on suicide watch at this point, they playing Squabble Up for commercial break," that made me think about this:


I haven't even heard the album yet.

I turned on Dan Le Batard's podcast, the second hour to hear Stan Van Gundy, and heard them play some Kendrick and laugh at Drake.

Then I turned on TIM MILLER's podcast and listened to the whole thing and this Never Trump Republican closed out his show playing Kendrick "Turn the TV off"

I feel like Snoop Dogg at the end of "All Bout U." "Then I turn on the Million Man March..."

I agree kdot year has been one for the ages for sure! And if he drops another album then it’s gonna be stupid! And the more kdot gets props the worse it gets for Drake. Drake making kdot look like he’s the best rapper ever!! Shit is wild! And how kdot songs be all over media and white outlets outside of the streaming shit is crazy in itselt. Hell, kdot might rule next year to because the Super Bowl is coming…

"THE STREISAND EFFECT is a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, censor, or remove information actually draws more attention to it. The term is named after singer and actress Barbra Streisand, who in 2003 sued a photographer for taking a photo of her Malibu home without her permission. The lawsuit backfired, drawing more attention to the photo than it would have otherwise received."
