99 times out of 100 I’d say no and 1 star this thread. Never seen pedo allegations in a rap battle before though. Anything can happen now. I’d say no though.

As he knows it. Yes.

He's in the same position as Cole now. They'll probably keep making records, but they're not free to make whatever they want anymore, without being called out and questioned constantly. They're both on notice now.

You don't think it's wild that we've witnessed the destruction of not 1 but 2 global commercial hip hop icons in the span of 3 months?

Think of everything Puff did musically...run down his industry resume. The man was a hit machine. Gave us LEGENDS...he reached the top.
All of that shyt is dust now. His legacy is now to be known as "The Diddler" for the rest of his days. That's his thanks for 30+ years of HITS. He made so many people so much bread.

Same exact thing is happening right now as you read this to Drake.
He pissed somebody more powerful than him off just like Puff did and there you have it. Kendrick is flaying him alive in front of the whole world.
All other convo has ceased. Nas & Ghost put a track out and crickets. Platinum producers openly beefing and taking sides.
If #certifiedpedo catches on?

:lupe:

Mind you, they'll both carry on. But name one sponsor or business that wants to be associated with "the diddler" or "pedo"

edit: this shyt feel like right before the 08 crash bear stearns and them talking about "rumors are false, we're fully liquid, everything's fine!"
next day shyt goes bankrupt

Hypothetically spraking lets say Drake was invited to perform at next year Super Bowl halftime show.The backlash alone would prevent him from performing.
I don't know about that. The only real allegation with proof is the video of him kissing and rubbing up on a teen at one of his early shows, and that clip been out forever and ain't damage him.

I think unless there is a semi proper investigation by a prominent media entity that uncovers something substantial that could lead to police involvement, it's gonna be business as usual.

Remember all the corporations will value money over morality unless it's actual legal shyt then they will fade back.

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
He's pushing 40, it's inevitable someone else will come along. Some of these Drake stans sound like 50 fans in 06 thinking he'd be on top forever

Yeah, I don’t think people really understand music or how fickle people/fans are. In the annals of rap, which is 50 years now how many “hot” 40/50 years old have there been? Three? Four? That’s why I’m not even mad at Andre 3000 when he says he’s too old to rap and all that stuff—because history shows he’s right :yeshrug:. Rap is really a game for young dudes, and people in general get tired of hearing you as a musician. They’ll show up to your shows as a legacy act, but if you drop some new music? Triple plastic.

Stevie Wonder right, musical genius and incredibly beloved. His music will be played as long as there’s civilization, but if he dropped tomorrow: triple plastic. And Stevie made Songs in the Key of Life :wow:. shyt, no one is trying to listen to U2z remember how their last album bombed? You think Drake is going to be running the rap game in 5 years with Shake that ass for me raps?

Like I said in the other thread, this loss to Kendrick will definitely took some luster off dude because Kendrick is all a big star. Whereas Pusha T wasn’t/isn’t. Nobody ain’t trying to hear any, I can fire bullets backwards and not hit a single rapper lines from you when you just got decapitated very publicly by another star rapper.

Unless real credible pedo accusations get brought up or investigations start, no. Drake has been the most fraudulent dude in rap besides Ross for the last 15 years. People want pop hits and shyt they can put in IG captions. YOLO! People don’t care like that off the internet.

:russ:Drake’s career is going to be ok. This will just be another L on his resume. After all of this is done he’ll drop another hit that people rock with. Dude is too big to fail at this point.
