  • So I've been asked A LOT about my thoughts on the Kendrick vs Drake beef. I wanted to wait until the entire thing was over before saying anything because I simply wasn't invested in this whole thing enough to make multiple videos about it. But I thought it'd be fun to give y'all my thoughts on it.
    Remember...these are just MY OPINIONS so relaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxx. Love y'all!
    (Oh and, no, I REALLY don't care about the other rappers who tried to jump in this so I'm not even discussing any of that stuff. Sorry!)

    Lord. I feel like I have to say this cuz people are getting my words hella twisted. I'm not saying that Meet The Grahams wasn't good or that I disliked the song. I'm saying it didn't move me the way it did other folks and that it was my least favorite of the Kendrick songs from the diss. That's all. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's a good song. Just not as good as the other three in my opinion.

      I feel you. I think more than any of the other Kendrick tracks, it's the one that relies the most on someone being invested in the "moment" of the beef rather than the music surrounding it, if that makes any sense. The shock value of Kendrick dropping that shit ten seconds after Family Matters and taking it in a vastly more dramatic direction than Drake obviously expected carried it for a lot of folks.
      But yeah it's still a solid track. It along with "We Cry Together" makes me desperately want a Kendrick×Alchemist full length.

      ​@user-hg4hz1lx2h No, he either misinterpreted the song or wrote his bar poorly. Drake said, "That's that song where you say you got molested." That's a fairly literal wording. The fact is that Kendrick did not say he got molested. His mom simply didn't believe him. Now, maybe you think that Drake meant that Kendrick really did get molested and is in denial, but that's not what Drake actually rapped. Drake simply messed up. He also doubled down by indicating indicating that Kendrick is obsessed with attempting to pin him as a pedo because Kendrick is a victim. This line only makes sense if Drake truly believes Kendrick was molested. It was simply a misstep on Drake's part.

He definitely has something harder in the clip if Drake starts talking crazy again.

    One thing this beef taught me that I’ve never really noticed is how much more entertaining I found the delivery of Kendrick’s bars compared to Drake’s or even Cole’s. The way he delivered bars like “pusha TEE” “you don’t wanna work w me no mo OKAY” “you don’t know nun bout daaattt” “A MINOR” “all eyes on me and I’m gonna send it up to Pac” just got stuck in my head. I prefer Kendrick’s rapping and bars but I assumed that because Drake is the bigger artist that he’d be more entertaining to listen to. This makes me more excited to hear future projects to hear these styles/deliveries developed or done more often hopefully on similar type instumentation

    My favorite thing about Not Like Us is that it would still be a great song even if it wasn't directed at Drake at all.
    The party/clubbing scene has always had issues with creeps and pedos preying on the young and naive, so to have a club banger calling those types out DIRECTLY while everyone is listening is not only fun, it's necessary.

      You single handedly described my biggest problems with that song. First let’s admit that it wouldn’t have done numbers without being a Drake specifically diss. But it’s the fact that A. Yall are weird asf for dancing to a Song about a predators and a crime that I wouldn’t even joke about. 2. Drakes not a pedo, so to accuse someone of something that serious is completely out of pocket in my opinion. Bigger thing is why call out Drake and not Diddy.

But, to say that “They” in they not like us implies Diddy, R Kelly, numerous others in the industry is such a reach and a projection it’s not even funny. I’ll do you one better Kendrick literally try’s his hardest to get ppl to say Drake isn’t Black, but right in “his” City, plenty of OhGessys and other Latino rappers say the N word, but he won’t address them, we got concrete proof on Diddy but, he won’t call him out by name.

Family Matters was supposed to be Drake's red button, something that would build up in people's minds and make them talk about Drake's skill as a rapper while questioning Kendrick's character based on the allegations he made. It would be hard to come back from the general public thinking about whether or not you're a domestic abuser for several days, regardless of if it's true or not. Instead, MTG dropped half an hour afterwards, 1. making people hyped out of their minds from three songs dropping in a single day, 2. directing public conversation towards questioning Drake's character instead, and 3. making people believe that he actually had moles in Drake's camp because of the song art cover and from him seemingly knowing what Drake would bring up in Family Matters because of some of the lyrics.

    I can’t stop thinking about “I’m finna pass on this body, I’m John Stockton.” Like yeah, Stockton is the all-time NBA assist leader. But the best part of his career was feeding the ball to Karl Malone, who was *recently outed as a pedophile.* I’ve thought drake was sort of a creep for years, but he didn’t have to go that deep lmao

    I initially thought it was a blowout, but the more I’ve listened to Drakes songs, the more quality I find.
    I feel similarly to you Myke, where we diverge though, is in Meet the Grahams. The memory of hearing that haunting beat has been seared into my brain. Also the last verse is such a stripped down, “I’m talking to yo soul nigga” moment that it’s the beginning of the end of the battle for me. Then Not Like Us punted the lifeless body into the atmosphere.
    Great battle through and through.

      Drake did well tho he was on the backfoot after Euphoria. Problem was Meet The Grahams wiped out Family Matters and people didnt Heart 6 a listen because Not Like Us was a blow out. Drake did much better than I expected but it is still embarasing for the most popular rapper/hiphop by far of his time to lose. Now his legacy will forever be tainted like Hov and BIG in terms of overall GOAT arguments. Kendrick rises up to Pac and Nas level as king slayers. Whats sad is Em the best mainstream battle rapper ever is going out without a worthy beef at all

    Meet The Grahams isn’t the most replayable song but it’s the most effective. If you treat Kendrick’s songs disses like a movie, Meet the Grahams is the climax. It took the battle to a new place ot had never been, which was serious, uncomfortable and disturbing. It’s like watching Schindler’s list or 12 years a slave for the first and probably only time, which leaves a lasting effect.

    Kendrick saying "a-minorrrrrr" in that way, directly copying Drake's "Dave Freeeeee" delivery, was the cleverest part too. It's like, that was Drake's biggest bombshell in all his verses. But now anytime anyone hears that line theyll immediately be reminded of pedo allegations
