Drake’s IG - We Will Win Game 2

[SNG]

4:15 onwards

Now watching a clip of AK. Sounds like he's saying "Game 2" isn't about diss tracks and it's "bigger than Kendrick".

Drake is not going to win no battle with Kendrick if him and Kendrick drop an album at the same time at this moment Kendrick is smoking him in streams. Drake been dropping and nowhere near in the top 10. Kendrick hasn’t done shyt since the concert so people are going to be inclined to hear what Kendrick has in store since Drake has been dropping mid after the beef.

Imma stream that heaux right nie

I don't want to hear shyt but rapping. Yall actually believe Drake can regroup and suddenly outbar Dot? Oh, he's looking for bombshells. Ok! Go ahead and pretend the calculator ain't got more shyt to add to the equation.

Drake can no longer manipulate perception. Eyes are open, he lost too many fans. The loyal base that remains are looked at with disdain just like he is. He needs credible supporters and ain't no one fukking w/him. Ya boy stranded himself when he took that vacation on No Man's Island.

Kendrick is clearly the better rapper but the battle didn’t come down rapping - if it did then Drake would’ve won because Family Matters was the easily best track in terms of rapping from a technical standpoint.

It came down to public sentiment aka the people were tired of Drake and Kendrick tapped into that perfectly. Kendrick’s Strategy was top tier the whole way through as he able to box Drake into a position that he wasn’t able to get out of but he wouldn’t have been able to execute that if the public didn’t already want to see Drake’s downfall.

Family Matter was not viewed as the best technical rapping ability by most people. I would say that song would be Euphoria. Also, Drake wasted half of the song on nikkas that don't matter because he didn't have enough to say about Kendrick. His inability to focus on the only person that mattered in this is a huge reason why people said his disses didn't hit as hard as Kendricks.

And Kendrick wasted the first half of Euphoria babbling about a bunch of nothing - the second half of the track was elite though and definitely has a case for the best display of technical rapping ability in the whole battle.

My point however remains - if the battle was won through rapping and Euphoria was the best display of rapping ability, why wasn’t the battle ended there and then? It’s because the public didn’t tap in to see a rap battle - they came to see a mud slinging contest and they know there’s a lot more mud to be thrown at Drake because he’s outside way more than Kendrick.

And Drake focussing on twenty targets or one is redundant - he would’ve lost even if he geared his whole strategy towards Kendrick. The battle was lost as soon as Like That was the number one song in the country for consecutive weeks - that song doesn’t go number one if it’s not a diss track aimed at Drake, featuring two of the most popular rappers of the moment and arguably the hottest producer. The track going number one put Drake on the back foot immediately because the public were already letting him know they were against him and the two options he has (ignore or engage) put him in a lose lose situation - can’t ignore the track when the number one song being blasted across radio and clubs across the country is a diss track towards you otherwise he’s accused of ducking the battle which rightly discredits his claim of being the biggest rapper in the game. If he engages though he will have to do something spectacular as public sentiment has already been shown to be heavily against him.

In hindsight the odds were always stacked against him and Kendrick used all the above to execute his strategy at a top tier level. The only thing Drake did wrong imo was that he did try to out rap Kendrick as that’s what he thought would be the determining factor in the battle - Kendrick ended up beating him however by using the strategy Drake used against Meek which is kind of poetic lol

It's already escalated to that. Drake told kendrick's wife to shake that ass bytch and said one of Kendricks kids isn't his. Kendrick wrote a letter to Drake's family saying that he should die. They both said things with the intent of ruining their actual lives/careers and got their families involved. And they all did this on the world stage.

These dudes will NEVER be cool again and quite frankly they were never even that cool to begin with

100% - this is a beef that can never be squashed.

100% - this is a beef that can never be squashed.

Never but some people want to think this Jay-Z and Nas 2.0 where they will eventually make up.

 

[Jards]

On the real I hope somebody gets in Drake's ear last minute and he doesn't do this. It was a classic battle and somebody had to lose. There are people who think he out bar'd Kendrick. Im one of those people, they are minority, but they do exist ( Outside of Drake stans) . Who knows 3 or 4 years from now people may start looking back and debating who really won. I just don't think they should add to this. One day people are gonna look back and appreciate the fire both guys brought in a short amount of time. Lets not take this to a place where there is 100% no chance to squash it ever. It feels like that's where Drake wants to take it and I don't like it. Its not going to get people on his side. Just let it be

Nah Drake clearly lost this - NLU is one of the worst tracks that dropped in the whole exchange but it's an undeniable culture shifter. Drake went toe to toe with Kendrick from a rap standpoint but Kendrick easily outmanoeuvred him in terms of strategy.

It would be interesting to see what the battle would've looked like if Drake heeded Kendrick's warning and not bought family into it - Kendrick would've probably still won as technically he's the better rapper but Drake showed he could've clearly kept up in that regard. It just would've been interesting to see how Kendrick would've approached battle without being able to use MTG and NLU because Drake bringing up family gave Kendrick the option to go nuclear. If Drake kept it rap then the battle could've been a lot closer which then changes the optics as Kendrick is expected to wipe the floor with him from a technical standpoint.

If you accuse someone of being a PDF file or a wife beater in a public forum then it's gonna be up forever - those are two of the worst accusations you could place on someone

You see it, it was stupid of him to throw shots at everyone on Push Ups then do it again on Family Matters

@Jards this is another great poster drake rapping ability on fm was top tier he didn't have to rely on gimmicks and bs

Wasn't posting it as his red button on his IG and having Rory and Mal talking about it for weeks on end, tell Kai Cenat to keep his stream on, releasing a whole ass video, and crushing a replica of the GKMC van all just gimmicks. It ain't like he just dropped it.

Hell doing all that posturing is the reason why Family Matters got stepped on so badly.
