      He's a coward that had to use the race card and Canadian card rather than fight his own battles. Pretty much affirmative action for rap beef. He's disgusting. And I will be dragging not only him but you for the next 2 years because It's a perfect example of how dangerous black people can be as a group. Stop using him as an excuse to hide being immoral. it showed black people are true colours

    I never thought Kendrick was gonna lose. Drake has put out some good songs, but he doesn't do real hip hop. He's a simp at best, but he's never hid the manipulative, co-dependency that exists in his lyrics. I've never seen him as a tough guy. I've never seen him as a battler. His only battle quality is that he's petty.
    This battle brought to my attention, and to many people's attention, the fact that he has had weird interactions with young girls. Those actions line up with how groomers act.
    He has used his power, wealth, and status to manipulate young women into having sex with him. If he waited ever time until they were technically legal, he's still a creepy dude who the culture needed to deal with.
    But at no point in time did I question whether or not Kendrick had him in check, with a clear path to victory.
    Kendrick has a mind and a pen, humility and clarity, love and venom.
    Drake is a creation who never developed any depth of character. We all know that for a fact, now.
    But whatever people thought, it was dumb to think Kendrick wasn't a killer on the mic.

    AK is not a rap fan, he is a Drake fan and like most Drake fans he doesn’t know anything about rap music

    This is how I viewed the beef, from the start. I am a bit of a Kendrick fan, but don't really listen to his music all that much, so not really. But I know he's good at what he does. I am a Drake hater. I have known for a long time he was a shady individual and a plant. And he isn't very good at what he does imo, since he seems to need help from everyone else. So...
    I figured Kendrick to have the clear advantage over Drake strictly on skill alone, no bias. And Drake was the underdog as people, incl myself, wanted him to fail. Not to mention him trying to claim the hip hop genre to himself and the harm it caused the genre. Of course I'm not stupid, as there were so many that were in social media it seemed, which was Drake's playground, so I assumed he had a favor within the court of public jesters. I did think there would be a LOT of gaslighting on Drake's side because of this.
    I would love to see that clip too. I know Drake was worried, people might not have thought so, but go back and watch his old interview about the control verse. He [felt he] HAD to say something to gain control over the convo. He prob never thought K-Dot would take it there. But he looked like a middle-schooler that got his feelers clipped.
    I find it odd but this is what it looked like from my PoV... Drake was like that "Prep Kid" in the movie that wanted to be (wannabe) the cool guy. Someone else (his label and others) introduced him to the right people, they vouched for him (either selflessly or paid to) and the one thing that stands out the most, is he was that "Private School""Prep Kid" but people knew he was. And the soft societal acceptance that has festered in society lately made it a norm and "OK"... when that wasn't the basis of the hip hop culture until now, because of him. I could be totally wrong and reading way in between the lines. But that's what I see.

    Joe Budden let it be known that if you go against Kendrick you have to go in hard don't be coming in with your little kibbles and bits because Kendrick is not going to be nice he is going to annihilate you he is not a man to be messed with when it comes to battling that's all he did coming up there's a reason people said to leave this man alone challenge whoever you want believe Kendrick alone Drake wouldn't listen to nobody Eminem even put it in one of his songs he knew that Drake didn't have anybody in his corner to tell him the truth he said I'm going to try and help you do not mess with Kendrick that's something he wouldn't do and he's Eminem

    East west south or Midwest. It’s just different interpretations and expressions of The same lifestyle. It’s crazy to me that the west never got the props they deserve. But yet people will listen to garbage from other places. The west was gettin recognition until the south took over and eclipsed the east and west.There’s good music everywhere

    13:02 in one of the reactions I watched the dad reactor said something that stuck with me. They were wondering why even though they collabed Kendrick seems to genuinely h8te drake and the dad said maybe when they did the collab Kendrick was watching drake and saw some things that didn’t agree with his spirit and that’s why he h8tes him so strongly. And after hearing what Kendrick revealed in mtg that would indeed make sense
