I finally read it. Is he saying the label played games with the battle in Kendricks favor to gain leverage in a renegotiation he was trying to do with them? If so that's dirty af. Also I do feel Kendrick used bots during the battle but the least botted song the whole battle was Not Like Us. That shyt was a legit hit record. Drake gonna have to get over that shyt. Meet The Grahams I 100% feel was botted tho.
Breh, they was boosting Drake to begin with, so the renegotiation he was banking on was based on them boosting him. If they pulled back and he wasn't hitting the same numbers, that's not playing dirty, that's him overestimating his own value. He believed his own hype but failed to take into account the machine been behind him the whole time.

This is hilarious, considering when his album scorpion came out, his picture was the stock image for every Spotify playlist. This was even the case when his songs weren’t on the playlist.

The nailpainter lost the biggest ammo for his ego: Numbers!

For the first time in 10+ years the numbers favor another rapper except him. He used to get clowned a lot, but he was always number one and adored but a bunch kids, women and man-children. The tide have changed this year and so his ego is bruised.

It seems like some of his friends in the higher ups don't push his music that hard anymore.

What a lame person. If he was anymore of a child he would groom himself.
This is where I'm at with it

It's not enough that he ran pop music for like 15 yrs with the whole industry aligned to sustain his popularity

Eventually that stops, people grow tired of his oversaturation, the music is less good and an opportunity to take him out is seized

He claims it's a conspiracy. What a clown. You can feel how cold it is for Drake outside. Label has nothing to do with that

Oh I def feel u. I hated the battle overall because it felt too corporate for me. But Drake is the one who introduced that aspect back when he battled Meek. And thats why I hated that battle as well. This is why I respect Pusha more than Kendrick during his beef with Drake because he stopped that nikka in his tracks without all the corporate bullshyt he nipped that shyt in the bud.

As I’ve stated, this is much bigger than the beef. If Kendrick was a true “culture” guy, he would be suing for being robbed by UMG without a mask.

They lowered the licensing rate on his biggest song which incentivized basically anyone with the ability to make money off music to play it nonstop (since it would only cost them a fraction of the typical price). Taking more money out his pocket than Top did :picard:




You mean he should be mad they discounted his song and it made him twice as big? :gucci:

On a serious note. This sht with the fans is getting super corny.

Like I'm really trying to figure out what's going on but it's just the continuous dikk sucking and back and forth from y'all fans.
Internet nikkaz have really ruined everything in hip hop. Smh

Drake is suing the company saying they inflated numbers to make Kendricks songs seem bigger than what they were.
I'm seeing quotes where the company is denying it.
And I see somewhere that the company wanted drake to sue Kendrick or they were going to sue Kendrick themselves.
I also see where some people are saying that the company fired employees who brought attention to what they were doing.

Can someone that doesn't have a dikk in their mouth please bring some valid info to bring clarity
This is actually interesting.

People give out music for free to raise their profile and bring listeners in all the time. That was the whole model in rap from like 2009 onwards

What's wrong with lowering the licensing on Not Like Us to boost the record? Is that not the same thing?

With these two points. I thought I saw if Drake sued UMG, they would in turn sue Kendrick or something like that.

With the other point I thought it was that they fired people associated with Drake and that was when all the labels were letting go of people, from what I remember.

Could be wrong but that's what I got from both.

Now that the same machine that built you is benefiting someone else you wanna cry foul play. I remember when Scorpion dropped and this nikka was all over my Spotify algorithm and barely listen to him.

Someone made a thread on here about it too so I know I wasn't tripping. The funny shyt is that he's the one that told Kendrick to come outside
yeah Drake pulling some cac shyt and his corny cac ass fans are defending it.

machine is moving on from him and he wanna cry about it

Your opinions don't matter on hip-hop Darpinder

🐍 🐍 🐍
If anything, my opinion matters more because it actually involves a nikka from my city.


You probably talking shyt from Idaho thinking you matter more :mjlol:
