Drake - Family Matters (Kendrick Lamar, ASAP Rocky & Rick Ross Diss)

[L $ C]

Talib Kweli was right calling this song below average.

good rapper with a solid history, has he ever been in any rap beef? ever? lol some guys talk outta their league.

weird diss song in this point----

the song itself is great, the 2nd verse id argue is some of the best rapping drake ever did if not THE BEST ever. even the 3rd verse was really good


it just didnt do what it needed to do because kendrick had smartly preloaded 2 other tracks in waiting. song itself was good altho the first part was meh

Diss was so hard, Kendrick just started making up lies instead of responses

whole song is him sonning himself in retrospect

Diss was wack. And lol at "started making up lies"...Drake entire track was made of lies that nobody believed. As for Kendrick, as far as we know, there's no evidence that he lied. So let's suppose that he lied like Drake did, are we gonna blame him for making his lies more believable? Is that his fault if he's a better writer?

Also, kendrick dropping at the same time doesn't mean crap, 2 artists dropped at the same time and people decided to listen to the supposed "least popular" rapper the most, because he made much better songs. Kendrick was smart making sure both songs (well, actually a song with a music video a proper promotion, vs only a song) would drop at the same time, that way there would be no bullshyt narrative pushed by Drake, people would decide what the better song was. In this case, the least popular artist did way better in every aspect; numbers, reception, reviews, everything... . Ya'll better try to come up with a better theory next time.

No such thing as stepping over someone else's release


Kendrick's Like That and Euphoria also nullified most Drake bars on FM with direct references...before the song even dropped. Dude managed to predict every Drake angle and bar, I guess drake's writing is so mid that he was predictable.

I'm definitely not gonna sit as a Kendrick fan and put down people who enjoy it. I enjoy Drake getting his head smashed in but not more than I enjoy being objective. I really liked the second and third verses. Appreciated the switches... The problem to me is that the Kendrick related bars were the lightest fukking disses on the whole thing.

I thought the back to the curb line was funny, and the line about his uncle was as well. But outside of that i wasn't impressed. He could have had something with the fake activist shyt if he was smart about it. But as someone who listens to and understood Mr. Morale, Drake had a very unintelligent read on how to get at him properly.

Drake had something potent. It just wasn't something for Kendrick. And then he got stepped on. If Family Matters is still the track for you, I respect that. I don't have it above any of the Kendrick disses though.
