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.
It is insane because he could just rap back

He realized he wasn't good enough and instead of just taking the L (i.e. letting the song naturally get old and fade away) he keeps reminding people about it doing this hoe shyt, why when Kendrick just gave us an album of new songs to move on from NLU? You gonna be in Australia for the Superbowl anyway and on tour for the rest of the year.



And these allegations are some shyt he put on the table himself and asked Kendrick to do it :bryan:

Yes this is straight up insanity, he brought all of it on himself and now is suing other people cuz it ain't work out in his favor


Softest shyt we've ever seen in rap

Come on now...

Let's not act like Taylor Made was the first time the allegation was brought up. nikkas been saying it about him for YEARS.

Kendrick gave us an album to move on? He was talking shyt within the first minute of the new album :heh:

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?
UMG allegedly had their finger on the scale, IN EXCESS, of regular marketing that big artists get. Thats the nuance here. I know it’s hard to grasp but Kendrick and Drake were always going to be premier draws. The label just had to let it play out. Don’t gas either side. Don’t amp shyt up, etc. UMG was clearly spending money on the record in ways far more aggressive than they would have for a natural song.

UMG pushed that shyt far in excess of what it normally would have done IN THE MIDDLE OF DRAKE’S CONTRACT RENEGOTIATION WITH DRAKE. If you’re OK with this, then say so…but Drake is not gonna just tolerate that from his own label snaking him out after already clearing his deal.

Now, I don’t know what you would do…but Drake’s options are basically to sit there and take less money or blow the whole thing over.

Basically, this is a Kanye level move.

You missed the point. It was not about rap anymore once the stans started the memes, conspiracy theories and calling the police and the feds and the corporate twitters chiming in. That wierd behavior got nothing to with rap. There was a 100 page thread on this site with yall listening to a gay man on twitter make up stories about evidence he had that drake was a pedo. Yall and a lot of stans were obsessed with "ending" drake and actually trying to get him locked up in real life and not a simple rap battle. Same folks now crying about a lawsuit.. the irony.

Drake: "Your honor, Mr. Lamar called me a pedophile and destroyed my reputation all while my record label did nothing to protect me"

UMG Lawyer places a boom box on the judges stand and presses play....

"You waited for this moment, overcome with the desperation
We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information"
