List updated.

:russ:

12 out of the first 16 songs on U.S. daily top 50. Including numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7.

All you had to do was wait a few hours before you went into full Drake stan conspiracy mode. “Oh Spotify got caught so they must be fixing the numbers!!!!”

Maybe Kendrick had 20 out of 20 and they thought that was too suspect so they said “nah, too obvious, let’s do 12 of of the top 16 instead”

He is not saying public opinion was swayed. He’s asking if his label intentionally tanked their own asset to devalue their renegotiation efforts.

Math Hoffa raised this point. If Drake is in 90-10 label split and Kendrick is in a 60-40, you get more out of the 60-40 than the guy who already maxed you out last time. The best thing for UMG would be to reduce drakes already sky high earning payouts and structure to make him more pliable at the deal table. Drake was literally saying Kendrick’s splits were trash, of course the label would want Drake to eat dirt to force him to take a smaller deal in the middle of a renegotiation.
:sas1: he was saying that now look at him

This nikka really went and got the law involved on his own volition.

He wasn't pressured by the threat of prison time or nothing. He lost a rap battle and filed paperwork.

That's crazy bro:gucci:
This is some unprecedented shyt.

This is by far the most bytch ass nikka shyt that has ever happened in hip-hop.

Super powers neutralized… prophet

Edit…. An idiot to go against (subjectivity) a rapper who is clearly better than him, with the same ammo, money, as his label…. Called it from the jump… imo the battle was done after “euphoria”. The biggest ‘factor’ would be Republic and the machine that they are…. Salute to Kendrick cause it was really going against the corporation that is known as Drake.
