    The angle about Drake's "Blackness," isn't about his genealogy, but instead the way he relates to the Black American experience aka “The Culture.” Drake uses Black culture in a similar fashion as White people. It's a costume to be cherry picked for all the cool parts without ever engaging in the foundational struggles that are the bedrock of our culture. From FUBU, to Timbs, slang, to gangsta/mob ties persona, etc Drake likes to dress up and cosplay as us but hasn't had a word to say about any of the major social issues affecting our people over the past 15years. People trying to water-down that point to "they're teasing him cuz his mom's white" are missing the actual criticism.

    Drake’s blackness is not called into question because he is biracial. It is because of his upbringing and trying to embrace street culture despite that. … that’s why people don’t question jcole’s blackness

    • @gifi11

      That and Drake uses his blackness when it is convenient for him. When you black, you don't get to take off your skin or how you are perceived

    Drake had a real difficult task here because flexing money and talking about smashing someone’s girl and the usual stuff… doesn’t work against Kendrick whose image isn’t based on that. Kendrick is a cultural figure in hiphop and Drakes biggest vulnerability is his insecurities with identity, riding waves, and by talking about Kendrick going away for 5 years…. Drake doesn’t realise he’s opening the conversation of ‘what have you done’ not just the time… and it’s not just money. Something drake shows no regard for - cultural value and not squeezing every dollar out of everything imaginable.

But I agree that nothing that either of them can say will make fans not like their guy. Ppl who dislike Drake been disliking him for a long time and Kendrick just said what ppl have been saying.

      The same stood 4 NaS & Jay, but the overwhelming sentiment is that everybody just watched 1 of them get beat up regardless of who they were a fan of. The best disses in rap history were irrefutable & undeniable, so tho a new era, neither artist has produced that vicious punch. But each diss has contained elements of "don't make me go there". They're battling while playing it safe & trying 2 use reverse psychology.

    The "Everything they say about me is true" is audio from the movie "The Whiz" the black version of The Wizard of Oz. Richard Pryor played the Wizard, and that's what he says in the movie when he gets exposed as a phony.

    You and 19 keys worded it correctly and broke it down the best. If your a casual your gonna look at this diss track completely differently. If your a hip hop head or fanatic you'll understand the angles kendrick presents throughout the song about the guy drake has become but also how he uses his blackness in insecure ways or too his own benefit but not when the culture needs his voice for our people enough or vaguely and how immature drake has been has a person running away from principles, morals, responsibilities and his true self as well as manhood/fatherhood.

    1. Rob really did introduce the discussion of angles. Don’t believe heavy hitters in the game don’t have influence in real time.
    2. I disagree that dropping two disses in a week, using AI, whoop de whoop is normal for 2024 and isn’t paranoid, knowing you’ll need everything you have to beat Kendrick when your lyrical ability isn’t at Kendrick’s level.
    3. Drake definitely put Yeat and Bad Bunny on his newest album 😂 ain’t no FUBU about him fam.
    4. “Chipped by your throwaway”, I think, referred to “don’t tell a lie on me - I won’t tell the truth bout you” which was on the heart iv. Entredres are layering heavy.
    5. “I didn’t point down enough” means ‘I fired a warning shot but should have ended you then and there.’
    6. You talk about speculation regarding FPS and the CnD… imagine if the Like That verse was what Kendrick submitted for the album? No wonder, Drake didn’t want to get Control’d! lmfao.
    7. And this is a question for Rob, When Kendrick said “they confuse themselves with real women” what’s the odds he’s getting at the underaged rumors?
    8. “Only you like being famous” is definitely prevalent in the culture. “F-- the fame I just want the money” is all over the place in the culture, no doubt.
    9. On Wick Man, Drake almost 100% said he was too good to be black. Fym “much to their dismay I’m leveling up”??? It sounds like you’re saying I’m beyond needing to be black anymore! He forewent his ability to claim black and proud. Which is I think the difference between Drake and J Cole or anyone else who embraces the culture instead of tries to put it down and distance themselves from it.
    10. The sexy red bar is funny asl. Remember “back in high school I used to buss it to the dance”? 😂😂
    11. 1v20 line was all time hard asf tho can’t lie.
    12. I think the sixth sense AI thing was a “you connected the dots, didn’t you?” type deal lmao
    13. Rob, keep this up bruh, it’s needed for the game. Agreed that Drake needs to come back and essentially ask Kendrick to come back with the things he alluded to, or otherwise will ignore it and rely on his pop fanbase. Drake has nothing else to expose, so we’ll see this come to a Kendrick win over time.

      You literally admitted drake was defeated as soon as you said he's not on his level lyrically. That's literally what rapping is. So by admitting it's ok to use AI because he's not on Kendricks level is already saying he can't beat Kendrick one on one. He needs tools, writers, and overall a fabricated story to even make an attempt at coming at Kendrick.
      I'd also like to point out, that both times Kendrick dropped a diss, the world tuned in. Only reason people are listening to the drops by drake is because he is mentioning Kendrick. Push ups ain't gonna last a month longer without people realizing all he says is kindergarten insults... Shoe size? Great way to hate on all your fans who have a size 7 shoe...please...

    Kendrick is authentic in himself and Drake seems confused about his identity, from the outside looking in. He’s lost in his celebrity and the dollars. Kendrick will drag drake to the deepest darkest oceans and I don’t think drake has the capacity or depth to survive.
    Whereas in Jay vs Nas I believe Jay was true to himself even tho he was more commercially successful. There was no identity crisis. Which is where I feel drake will truly fall.
