Drake had the right strategy this time. Kendricks image is that he's generally righteous and artistic. Saying he's getting fukked on his deal doesn't really hit. He's not 50 or Jay portraying himself as some boss businessman, even if it's true, who cares?

Right strategy this time, it just doesn't hit as hard as it should've. He needs proof of the DV maybe

Proof is whats missing. It doesn’t help that Kendrick literally predicted how he was gonna respond

I'll say his Kendrick bars were a 6.5 out of 10
Future 2 out of 10
Rick Ross 9 out of 10
ASAP 9.5 out of 10

Overall, Family Matters is legit comp. This ain't no ether or close but this is what Jigga should have did. Drake is showing he ain't just a pop artist with this one. Kenny had Drake looking like he should never be considered a rapper again. Drake beat those allegations.

One issue with this is that it doesn't have many ooh's and aah's moments. It's just pure gossip. It's not gonna hit with social media like that. Aubrey needed to bar Kendrick up while also coming with dirt. He got the dirt. But the bars weren't there. Kendricks response is gonna have jaw droppers.

He clearly tried to pull a pusha t but it ain’t hit

Much better than the other tracks he dropped. He sounds more like ‘himself.’

This is a weird beef and I’m getting the impression they both heard each others records before they dropped.

I'm shocked Drake made the same mistake twice. He basically rehashed the Weeknd/Ross/etc shyt, added Rocky, and then sent some wild reached at Kendrick. This should have been strictly aimed at Kendrick. If he felt he got rid of the other guys already with Push Ups, there was one guy left. And eh...I'm not impressed.

Beat is hard tho. But I need a stan to come in here and make it make sense because...Kendrick still with his girl, she's all over his last album, and he started a company with Dave haha.
