Drake Initiates Legal Action Against UMG

[dangerranger]

So educate me breh. Don’t refute my point by telling me to go do homework breh. I’ve already told you my thoughts on it. And what I’m telling you are facts. Kendrick is independent but licenses his music to interscope. Those are facts. Interscope(UMG) can’t stop him from releasing music

You’re literally proving my point. There is coordination and his music has to get approval. Just because he’s independent doesnt mean he can do whatever he wants when he wants. It’s why being independent is so costly because the labels have resources that they leverage that would be too expensive to cover out of pocket for any artists.

In terms of UMG stopping Dot from releasing NLU, my point is they didn’t even try. In fact, from the petition, they are being accused of helping the other side by lowering the licensing fee. I quote “ UMG charged Spotify a licensing fee 30% less than usual for "Not Like Us." You have the label teaming up with the DSPs to potentially help another artist beat your main artist.

Where is my questioning wrong here?

giving Aubrey a pass for years on his fukkery ....of course he's entitled

Drop a freestyle Drake! *pulls out phone with lyrics someone else wrote*

Got corporations literally gassing you in a rap battle vs Meek. Where we do that at?

Got a TEAM of writers writing your raps and cats trying to make that acceptable and say you a Top Rapper Ever

Now we suing over what's said in a rap battle?

get this bozo out of here.

THIS.

Let's all be for real...

The Lawsuit is not a problem. The lawsuit is not bytch made.

THE TIMING OF IT ALL IS.


This is something Drake supporters are just absolutely ignoring. Don't try to act like the timing of the two lawsuits within a week of Kendrick's surprise drop isn't an indicator that Drake and his team are making this absolutely about the chess game involving his rival.

He dropped The Heart Pt. 6 and had numerous months to analyze the data and drop a lawsuit well before Kendrick became the most talked about artist in the world again. HE DIDN'T.

When his attorneys called and explained that they have the motion or petition ready to be filed with the court, Drake gave the okay. There was no close expiration of the statute of limitations.
Honestly, if his attorneys wanted to be more strategic, they'd have let Kendrick's album roll out completely and after a month do the petition in order to potentially lock UMG and whatever other company into more created evidence because I'm sure they'd have "botted" GNX as well since they got away with it for NLU.

Drake, himself, stated, "cease and desist is for hoes." We know that didn't mean legal action unrelated to the beef is hoe shyt. We know that meant he wasn't petty enough to take legal action directly related to this beef and battle with Kendrick.

He is showing his full, hypocritical and petty side. shyt is wild but I understand why supporters of artists/teams/game companies are unable to see the truth right in front of them.

Drake was sending shots at Kendrick live on stage before FPS was a thing. Drake was feeling himself in 2022-23 and thought be was untouchable and Kendrick showed him what time it was.

I don’t doubt for ONE second that both camps used bots to boast their streams but Drake is literally bytching about the exact same shyt that HE himself benefited from when he battled with Meek Mill. He had the label, corporations like McDonalds, and almost the entirety of the industry in his corner. Had Will Smith (FROM Philly) showing up to his shows giving him the victory dap. Got the Grammy nominations and went on a year long victory lap.

He did the same shyt when Pusha whopped his ass. Went crying to the label and J. Prince like a B I T C H and had the original upload of Story Of Addidon erased from the internet. Ran to his Degrassi friends and shot a video so that nostalgia would get the stink of his whore of a baby mother off of him.

He truly thought he was some Mob Boss who couldn’t have his card pulled. This time he got punched in the face and for whatever reason there was nobody to go cry to. Calling out a man’s civilian wife, bragging about his contract, illegally using a dead rap legend’s voice, saying that rapping about social issues that affect the African American community was nothing more than “freeing the slaves” talk. Gleefully shouting from the top of his lungs that his opponent beat his wife. There were sooooo many different options to approaching this battle that HE said he was so ready for that he planted false stories of being a pedophile and a deadbeat father to set some diabolical plot….


Only for it ALL to come crashing down after denying a helping hand from the only artist who could help.

fukk a lawsuit, this a life long litigation with HIMSELF

perfectly said

It’s some Jewish Israeli shyt. Start shyt with people then play the victim when it doesn’t go your way

Yup, textbook lsraeli J€wish behavior

Music world without Drake looking really good so far. Glad we got rid of this fraud and his trash catalog

What the fukk are you talking about. I could record an album in the next hour in my basement, get a tunecore account for like 20 bucks and have it up on Spotify and every dsp within no time.
An independent artist like Kendrick can sign a distribution deal that can be negotiated in any number of ways including giving him complete control and liability for everything he uploads.
You have no idea what you’re typing.

Nobody knows you knucklehead. You can upload your stuff on the DSP and there is now scrutiny or anyone watching your moves. When you’re one of the biggest rap artist in existence, you do answer to someone. If you want to pretend that no one at the DSPs knew the contents of NLU before it was uploaded, that’s on you.

No artist is allowed to just do whatever they wants. So miss me with the independent trope it don’t work like that. It’s also why I always bring up how the Amazon pop up deal and the concert in LA happened so fast. Things don’t happen just because you wish them to be. There is coordination and liaising with different groups, businesses, and the like.

Again knucklehead you don’t know what you’re talking about.
