Most of that is marketing, where's the strategy? I'm going to hit him with____, I'm expecting ______ and if I get it/don't I'll ________. We know there's a Drake diss at least 5 years old we've never heard. We know there was a track darker than Meet The Grahams because he side told us. He's been sitting back at least 5 years ready to kill the nikka and lightened up on songs to hit him later if he ever needed to. That's strategy, Kendrick chasing radio intentionally making NLU sound like that is strategy, since Aubrey's obsessed with commercializing diss tracks going back to Back to Back
Maybe that's why he lost, somebody thinks Ak's a strategy. And look where he is now, in a corner of the internet where nobody can hear him. Drake had little to no strategy and tried to leverage status, #1s, and his fans. And why not, it worked before. Didn't work against Push but Push wasn't big enough to make a big enough dent
Push Ups V1 is better than the final, besides sample clearances he changed it to make it radio friendly. Too bad in the process he killed the record trying to chase another #1. What part of the strategy was Aubrey leaking V1 to gauge reactions, looking back we can see now he wasn't even confident enough to ever respond. What part of the strategy was OVO posting jobs paying $17 an hour to post nice things about Aubrey lol, why was OVO going to youtubers & podcasters begging them to "give the boy some points" if strategy's working?
Taylor Made was meant to be calm before the storm/FM, you could say that. But he'd already made Push Ups & FM in the same session so it's not like he set Kendrick up & he's responding, he's reacting to Kendrick and did that the whole battle. That's why he lost. If he actually had a strategy Hi Whitney would've come out mastered instead of trolling around with AI
"We plotted for a week and fed you the information" is as close as he ever came to a strategy and that was a lie lol.
