Hella fanned out nikkas in this post picking sides.Objectively speaking he has a case.

Both artists signed to the same label and Universal obviously put gas on Not Like Us. If you know anything about the music business, that means money is being spent. And if he removed a petition to actually sue so his team must feel he has evidence and a case.

To compare apples to apples, it wasn’t that long ago when Back to Back was a thing. Drake and Meek were on entirely different labels and the consensus was that Drake washed Meek. However, Back to Back was not being worked like a single in actual rotation. I’m not talking mixshow or satellite stations where B sides get played.

And to further prove when money is being spent and when it isn’t… look at how GNX came and went.

I get what your saying but If UMG does sue Kendrick like Drakes first petition stated they said they will do Kendrick should counter sue! fukk that. Also Kendrick can sue because that’s what a label is supposed to do. It’s their job to push a single for profit.

Now if they really pushed it in attempts to lower Drake stock because of contract negotiations that’s an issue but it’s a double edged sword

I’m starting to agree with what Andre3K said about this beef. Yes it was entertaining but toooo much money was involved between Drake, Kendrick, and UMG.

Idk man. This shyt is getting crazy and this will for sure be the last mainstream rap battle we might ever get

More that I don't think has been discussed


It's what I'm talking about above. Seemingly the first song to be whitelisted by UMG ever.

Smac is more so Q boy than Kendrick’s. Mackwop didn’t even know about it and they grew up together. The only person that knows Kendrick’s moves are in PG Lang and maybe Top.

I know. Just going off what smac said. They talked, he wanted to react to it in BoF and Kendrick put in a call so they can react.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Thats the goal though and part of why he won. It also didn’t hurt that Drake has a history of questionable behavior when it comes to underage girls. There’s no way on EARTH he should have been texting no 12 year old Millie Bobby that he missed her and couldn’t wait to see her again. Indefensible
Bro u said her parents need to be arrested cause Drake texted their daughter. lol. Ur not quite non bias about the situation. I think it’s weird. But she vehemently says it was all innocent so I have no room to press it further. As far as the shyt on the stage. Both the women and her father who was in the audience said it was all innocent and part of the show. Son was like 21 and she was 17 which is legal in NYC anyway. Actors and actresses kiss in movies all the time with this age gap. Matter fact. That 70s Show with Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher is a clear example. I been around too long to be outraged by little shyt like this. U ever watch American Beauty? Thora Birch was 16-17 when she showed her breasts in that shyt. U ever watch Family Matters? Michelle Thomas was like 23-24 when Jaleel White was only 16 in that shyt and they had a whole on screen relationship where they kissed on screen n all that.

"
UMG and Sir Grainge were recently accused of
aiding and abetting P. Diddy in committing heinous and widespread acts of sexual violence against
minors. UMG and Sir Grainge acted swiftly to refute these allegations. In a court filing, Sir
Grainge stated, “I do not take lightly being falsely and publicly accused of criminal activity, and
as I said, I intend to pursue those who have made these outrageous allegations against me."

Damn, he's using Lucian's own words about the Diddy shyt against him as justification for the lawsuit


When you start to read through this its basically full blown snitching, they mentioned “Euphoria” too, talks about he had to take his son out of school because of so called threats and send him and the mother out the city, shyt is wild.

Song is fully cleared for others to use on YouTube and things like that ..and still be monetized

Most reaction channels have to kinda edit videos so that they don’t get copyright claims and get demonetized …which is why a lot reaction videos you see don’t play full songs..it be jumping around in parts

You can’t play an actual song in a reaction video because of copyright infringement. Whitelisting is giving the greenlight to someone to do that. Basically the rights to play the record and react to it and monetize that - and in this case, without paying anything to the labels. It’s why you usually don’t hear the music itself in reaction videos.
