There's no way Drake could have anticipated he'd lose a rap battle to a song that would become the biggest track of the year (and be performed at the Super Bowl). Entering the battle wasn't the mistake. Not taking Kendrick seriously as a threat was the mistake. We've had months of people crying about Drake being the victim since then but let's not forget: for a couple weeks this nikka was clowning Kendrick, daring him to drop a song, alluding to having a career ending nuclear bomb in his pocket, etc. Only to get gunned up and clapped quick.

Let's flip this around. If Drake had won the battle he would have put a major dent on Kendrick's record. A decade of antagonizing the singing nikka only to get bodied by him? On the tail end of him releasing his worst album (Mr Morale)? That would be a career altering L for Kendrick and crown Drake as the guy. It was worth the risk to enter the battle. He simply didn't consider the stakes or take his opponent seriously. Literally the same mistake he made against Pusha, btw.

Drake just got outplayed. I agree, entering the battle was the right thing to do 100%, he just didnt handle it correctly in hindsight. I guess he underestimated how long Kendrick has been waiting for this and how prepared he was. Kendrick had a whole gameplan mapped out, and contingencies in case that plan failed apparently. Drake basically approached this like it was Meek thinking he would bar him up real quick, drop a catchy song at the end and its game over. Nope.

The part that fukked him was Kendrick drowning out Family Matters. That was actually a fire song, and against anybody else that would have been the end. But Kendrick saw that coming and was ready

Meet the Grahams was the perfect song to overshadow Family Matters. It wasn't a better song, but it had crazy shock value. Secret kids, sex rings, Drake getting raided, etc. Clearly it was all foolishness but it served its purpose and blocked Drake's "Nuke".

In a few years there will probably be some Harvard class that studies how Kendrick handled this battle. It was flawless.

That's why all this charity Drake been getting is bullshyt. Even Cole stepped out. Drake legitimately had his own plan too; people forget about Buried Alive Interlude 2 because of how emphatic Kendrick stepped on Family Matters. And yes, Family Matters would have gotten any other rapper outta there. Drake did very well but what Kendrick did was something we'll never see again. Ever.

Gimme A Hug legit the type of fun (and funny) track he should have dropped months ago. That's how you pivot.

Yessir. Only issue is the mixing on these joints.

These nikkas started with Drake first, especially jealous ass kendrick

Future did a rollout to two albums on Drake hate

Drake and kendrick being going back and forth since control. A friendly spat. Drake's sensitive ass is the only nikka in the industry next to lupe and BoB that held a grudge with that shyt. He started subbing Kendrick and Kendrick subbed him back. Drake jumped off the porch after the mother fukk the big 3 line and because Kendrick said no to being on first person shooter because they still had unresolved issues here we are talking about how bad he lost a rap beef.

My point stands. He wants to get past this? Stop being corny talking about women adjacent to people you beefing with it because it always go bad, ignore the jokes, stick to the party music and give us bars 16 of them. I don't think for a second he is done he just has been beaten bloody and needs to accept he isn't the battle rap guy he is Canadian ja rule and that's ok. I don't mean that with any kind of disrespect or anything.

Kendrick did come up battle rapping which also helped
Had legit hood cred unlike Drake
Writes his shyt, sorry but that matters
Let Drake talk all his shyt luring him into the trap
Thought he had him with Family Matters after Kendrick set him up on Euphoria and murdered him on MTG IMO.
And of course the real Nuke that will forever live in the halls of hip hop history having the whole fukkin planet callin you a PDF.


Drake got a big head and thought he was untouchable

i mean he is a rapper that sings and makes hits. stop being sensitive.

What, especially, specifically, directly do you want from Drake? To commit that, literally? Or something else creatively?

I already alluded to it, but he needs better songwriters in the room with him. This isn't a knock on him, we know r&b artists use songwriters and that is fine. I'm just saying that after a decade of this one note, one melody shyt over downtempo reverb beats it's time to do something else. Just like SZA brought in Babyface to challenge her in the studio, he needs something like that. Buying people's songs isn't gonna cut it anymore. He needs to improve as a songwriter.

Rap wise I don't think he needs to change much but it's probably time to get more serious about the production. FATD was pretty meh production wise and I feel the same way about this new project. Nothing is "bad' but only a couple tracks truly stand out. Same issue I have with the Weeknd album to be honest. Both artists are super risk adverse and like doing the same shyt over and over.

Ja Rule wrote his own shyt and even when getting hopped on by Em, Dre, 50, with one arm tied behind his back, he battled it out and kept his dignity until the bitter end. He didn’t flee to another continent. He didn’t file any lawsuits. He stood as a man.


Saying Drake is Canadian Ja is disrespectful as Hell to Ja Rule.

Name another Drake song that’s sounds like Die
trying?

Everybody trying to give advice but no one is listening

The Weeknd problem is that he refuses to acknowledge that his has fans outside of millennial white women.

The second flop in a row should force him to see that he needs to be making music for his core base
