People have a weird rose colored glasses way of remembering classic diss songs.
Even a song like Ether which is a top 5 diss song of all time unquestionably, isn't great because of individual lines. It's great because it's an onslaught on Jay that breaks down his character and dikkriding tendancies. There's no "you left out the G..." level mic drop lines on there.
This is why it reminds me of Ether....there's a lot of dope lines but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I know that shyt made for uncomfortable listening for Drake which at the end of the day is what a diss song should do first and foremost.
I agree this is comparable to ether. Disses like hit em up, takeover no Vaseline were just straight forward fukk you, your gay, your fake , ill kill you, I'm more popular than you, I have more money than you, I have more hits than you....type of disses
Ether, like this song takes a passive aggressive approach in their attack. On one hand it's like kendrick saying hey dude it's not that serious your just not me, on the other end he fully disrespect drake personally and discredits his entire career. Then just like ether kendrick attempts to fukk with drake about things he figures a successful mix breed rap artist would struggle with. Then say things out loud you know everyone thinking but just don't say it.
When kendrick breaks down drake trying to fit in and his struggles with not being black enough, that was the equivalent to the scared to smile they called you ugly?
Kendrick and nas attempt to explain why these guys have a thing against women.
The talk about drake not knowing how father hood feels, that was his "what you think you getting girls now cause of your looks" moment.
So it's very comparable. Only difference is, I don't think the beat fits the impact of the diss. A better beat would have set this shyt off the rails. Whereas ether beat was fire and we knew it as soon as it came on.
