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.
That’s speculation because the filing doesn’t reference that definitively as a motive. Next, Drake instigated this beef 🥩 himself. UMG did not make him do it nor was Like That released by UMG. That was an Atlantic Records record. An argument can be made that him and his son were in cahoots, however, Kendrick responded to a record by J Cole and Drake. According to reports, the renegotiation was ongoing before the beef so Drake did this to himself.

I would bet that UMG advised against it from the onset but Drake was smelling himself. He shot a video and everything. KDot just responded in kind. Those are important facts that debunks a conspiracy. Can’t get mad that his mistake became advantageous for UMG if it is true.

I'm saying that's what he tried to do. He didn't go for his usual radio-friendly shyt lacking in subject manner but with a catchy ass beat or hook. He tried to make the best quality record possible. That was a mistake.

You gotta be a next level hater cause Take Care, IYRTITL and NWTS are all quality joints. Lowkey Dark Lane Demo Tapes is a fukking classic too but we ain't ready for that conversation yet :sas2:
If You reading this was his last fire joint top to bottom

Then Kendrick would just countersue for Drake calling him a woman beater with zero proof.

Rap battles have relied on lies and innuendo since the beginning of the genre. The MC Shan/KRS battle was literally BUILT on a lie. Kendrick just had a thumping beat and Drake’s own history of questionable actions with minor girls as ammo whereas Drake…didn’t.
Even drake was lying his ass off spreading rumors he can't prove about Kenny and his baby mother.

Don't forget they took the original Story of Adidon upload off youtube lol. The song had crazy views on Push channel. This the shyt Drake's camp was doing and now he suing nikkas. This is crazy
Yup. That song was removed and reposted several times, ain't no telling how many views it actually has.

because it was on World Star, not an official channel

Drake stans trying to spin it like drake is doing this for the right reasons. Drake got his feelings hurt so now he is suing. He whole hoe.
Drake recouped and kept the lights on over there. Then the label uses the song to devalue drake during the renegotiation.

Are you sure you wanna make this argument? :francis:

What year did "4 All The Dogs" come out? :gucci:

I said old music.

And I said top 25 because that's typically what people care about. But if you want me to break down how his post-beef drops tumbled down the charts...."Circadian Rhythm" fell 33 spots in a week, mind you....we can do that.

I was trying to be nice. :manny:

Fred.

4 All The Dogs came out end of last year, and I am clearing talking LTD sales, so when do you think all the sales milestones were hit for it to be considered his 3rd fastest selling album?

And what people care about is entirely arbitrary. But its purposeful misdirection to slice a chart to only the top 25 and limit the window to the previous two months, with the intention to further this narrative that "no one is listening to Drake's new stuff", when he had multiple Hot 100 entries this year with songs that were released for free in advance. A couple of the records were even pulled from DSPs like BGR and SOD, which obviously leads to big drops on the charts.

He was never Hip Hop. His kind use deception and disguise to infiltrate communities and cultures. They do whatever to get ahead all at the cost of division and hatred. They don't like a level playing field. So now it's time to play victim.

Fukk this bytch I hope he disappears forever :pacspit:
Why is Drake acting like Not Like Us came out of thin air? That man beat him at his own game and made a hit song out of a diss record. So did IMG secretly tell Kendrick to make a structured diss song and they'll handle the rest?

Yall are missing the point.

The label is using the song as leverage against him in Drake’s label renegotiation. This isn’t about the song. If Drake was mid-contract, he wouldn’t give a fukk nor have any argument.

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.
I already said why it wasn't catchy. Also Family Matters was not the second most quoted. Damn near every other line on Euphoria is a quotable

"What is it? The braids?
I hurt your feelings? You don't wanna work with me no more? Okay"

"Them superpowers getting neutralized, I can only watch in silence"

"don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truths 'bout you"

"Dementia must run in his family, but let it get shaky, i'll park your son"

"I pray they my real friends, if not, I'm YNW Melly"

"Yeah, fukk all that pushin' P, let me see you push a T,
You better off spinnin' again on him, you think about pushin' me
He's Terrence Thornton, I'm Terence Crawford, yeah, I'm whoopin' feet"

"I'm the biggest hater
I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress"

"How many more Black features 'til you finally feel that you're Black enough?
I like Drake with the melodies, I don't like Drake when he act tough"

"Headshot for the year, you better walk around like Daft Punk"

"When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad bytches
I believe you don't like women, it's real competition, you might pop ass with 'em"

"I'm knowin' they call you The Boy, but where is a man? 'Cause I ain't seen him yet"

"Try cease and desist on the "Like That" record?
Hoe, what? You ain't like that record?
"Back To Back, " I like that record
I'ma get back to that, for the record"

I could go on but I think my point has been made. Family Matters was not getting quoted like Euphoria.
