It's hilarious watching, in real time, Drake stans left dazed and confused at the one thing [popularity] their mans had over everyone else, only to have the floor vanish beneath them. They can't get their heads around the fact that Kendrick not only beat their mans in a battle, in its most primordial state, but managed to grab the public's attention with both hands and not let go.

Kendrick took center stage and told that Jew in Blackface to exit stage left.

If it was one thing that Drake stans could've rested their laurels on, is that the public would be playing and reciting his disses more, even if they weren't better, they could still be kingmakers of that, and they'd walk away convincing themselves they'd won. Except Kendrick came through and had the whole country singing his shyt like he was a popstar.

Even Drake is still having a hard time processing how he got beat at his own game.

:lolbron:
This is exactly what happened

You think "regular people" is trying to rock out to a 7 and a half minute Drake song rapping about another man? Family Matters is not a catchy song. Its not One Dance, it's not Hotline Bling, it's not Gods Plan. Family Matters was never going to appeal to that casual radio friendly Drake audience.

Sure, I agree it's too long to be single friendly.

But why are you forgetting all the hits Drake made over Tay Keith and Boi-1da beats? Kinda ridiculous to argue that FM did not have mainstream novelty. You could argue FM was the second most quoted song in the battle after NLU, especially with the third beat, so I'm not sure why you don't think it was a catchy song.

I agree with what you're saying about the underdog bias. It's everywhere, and especially in sports.

Disingenuous af.

Drake always had way more haters than Kendrick and Kendrick always had the white vote on his side which is massive when we're talking about something that is ultimately decided by public opinion via social media.

Act like the industry darling was the underdog, brehs.

by default if Drake's the most streamed/listened to artist, he'll have the most white fans/votes

there's no way of getting around that.

If Kendrick would have sued UMG and spotify over Family Matters getting boosted, i would have clowned him.

If Nas would have sued Hot97 over playing Takeover more than Ether i would have clowned him.
yall the same ones who told Durk to slide for Von, then called Durk stupid when the Feds caught him trying to leave the country :why:

It's some wanna be tough guy shyt with three different beats and no hook on the second and third beats. The whole middle section could have been left off if he was trying to make a catchy song.

MTG wasn't commercial either but it had a draw. It was dark and shocking and the most artistic song in the whole battle. People said it reminded them if Eminem's "Stan". Streamers was running it back to back in real time. This ain't speculation.

You are making the same mistake Drake made, you are thinking because he is the bigger star that he should automatically win the battle. But here's the thing, if history has told us one thing, it's that rap battles don't always favor the bigger star. Jay and Nas, Drake and Pusha, Cube and Common. Rap battles don't just favor the more well known commercially friendly rapper.

This is a fair point and where Drake made a fatal mistake.

He went for the quality of music route thinking hip hop fans would appreciate that. What he should have done was gone for the shyt music but catchy beat/hook route like NLU cause let's be honest, most people that listen to music don't give a fukk about the lyrics, the subject matter, none of that shyt, they wanna shake their ass and chant a catchy line in the club.

So, Drake is sacrificing himself for the greater good of Kendrick Lamar to profit more from the song that disses him?

A Chew is Kendrick’s Jesus, now?

These are allegations anyway. He’s begging for proof from the folks he is suing so as it stands, it’s hearsay. He doesn’t want to sue because the burden of proof is on him, he’d have to provide it not vice versa.

I highly doubt NY State picks this up so it likely isn’t going to go pass this stage.

If you’re not going to mention the fact Drake is trying to renegotiate his deal and UMG is stalling because they boosted the song outside of their contractual obligations and using that song to undermine him, then you’re missing the entire context.
