The kendrick numbers definitely reflect the in real life hype.

On the other hands, its been proven that Drake botted, and it shows, no way his numbers (even if they were low) were authentic :mjlol:...nobody was bumping it outside of the internet, NOBODY

suing for defamation over a rap diss is insane. am I reading this right? this shyt could change hip-hop foreal. what kinda shyt is this weirdo on :gucci:

Is it insane though? Folks get killed over rap disses and to be fair, folks have been killed for less. Nipsey got bodied for calling someone a snitch. Falsely calling someone a pedo is grounds for being violated. 99% of yall would crash out if yall where in drakes position with folks joking about you being a pedo. Im surprised it didnt happen sooner. If he shot kendrick would that be better than a lawsuit?

And rap been dead for years. When burger king and pepsi are co signing and sponsoring diss records and stans are calling the feds to false report a rapper based on a youtube video then this whole thing jumped the shark a long time ago.

He’s suing because UMG chose to amplify the claims in the song instead of protecting his interests, as they are obligated to do. The lyrics are the lyrics, but literally making a campaign to make money off calling someone a pedophile is wild.

If Drake had a hit record saying “now beat yo wife! Beat yo wife! Now beat yo wife! Beat yo wife!” And Kendrick decided to sue UMG, this thread would look a lot different.
Ok explain to me what the label could have done differently. The song was hit and people loved it. Are they not supposed to lean on and promote it?

Here is another angle. Might just be Drake getting the grounds ready for a defamation lawsuit against UMG so Kendrick cant perform the song during the superbowl. Normally I can't imagine the NFL would let a rapper do a diss song as part of the show but Im sure Jay got them to give the greenlight plus its his biggest hit in years and the reason he got the performance anyway.

So would yall rather be called corny and lame by internet nerds for filing a lawsuit (When folks already think you're corny) or allow someone to call you a pedo during the superbowl. Pretty sure whatever blow back he gets now would be 10x worse if kendrick performs it on the worlds biggest stage.

Looks like I was right. Its about the superbowl.

Family Matters had 62K views in an hour, Meet the Grahams had 902K views in 34 minutes and it’s a long track.

The tracks were heavily botted to influence public opinion.

If it was reversed it would be called out. The whole industry uses bots but this was an extreme case.
So much of the basis of the Drake stan argument is assuming that everyone watched/listened to Family Matters.

Nov 2024 and I've still never listened to that song or watched the video a single time because something happened a few minutes after that made it irrelevant :pachaha:

Look at the goalpost babble these brehs doing to justify “suing” over a rap diss :stopitslime:

Brudda go listen to Asake or Burna Boy or some shyt :camby:

The End
thing is, drake is famous enough that people WILL always pay attention. He’s Kanye level famous right now. So theres really no downside besides being clowned. BUT…he’s gonna get that bread regardless.

Kanye will drop an album every 18 months and people will always listen but … man…
never wanted him to fail. i gave him credit for actually getting busy in the booth and putting up a fight unlike j.snore but this is where i gotta draw the line a bit
