People gotta stop the “ he warned him” mess. It’s a battle. Nobody gonna warn me of shyt. Also keep in mind MTG was pre recorded before FM even came out. Both guys knew it was gonna get personal and it did. He said he watches Smack/URL battles. They get personal too. It’s a battle.
Kendrick lamar implies the beef wasnt personal. Wanted rap to be in the spotlight again.

- Start date
Kendrick had been ready since that Beyonce America has a Problem remix. I was telling people on here Kendrick was baiting Drake and people on THE COLI were shouting me down and calling me stupid etc.

Story of Adidon was everywhere and has millions of views on YouTube and was a more damaging diss to drake
Meek diss did was also a bop everybody fukk with back to back
NLU was a easy listening catchy diss like hit em up but was mid unlike euphoria
But that doesn't matter because UMG already had KDOT as the winner of this beef because they on beef with wheelchair jimmy

Yea but that wasn't the point before
The point was that the labels would protect wheelchair jimmy from a NLU type diss if he was good terms
People would still rock with it but u wouldn't hear it playing at the Grammys if UMG doesn't want to dance on drake grave

So is this the play now?
Fake outrage? Lol.
lol...what am I even reading...
Rewriting history and making shyt up now?
protecting him? damn, what bytch... Joe Budden was right, Drake has never been a legit artist.
Drake could’ve just ignored “Like That” and kept it pushing. But both Kendrick and Drake been subbing each other for like 8 years. So this battle was bound to happen one way or another. It was Drake’s fault for Jumping out the window first. With the Whitney and kids shyt lol.
Nah once ‘Like That’ topped the Billboard chart for two weeks straight Drake had to respond as his position was under threat. If the track made no noise he would’ve ignored it - the number one in the country being a diss track to him was something that he couldn’t ignore though. Once he engaged it was a lose lose because public sentiment was always against him which was evident from the beginning when ‘Like That’ topped the charts. ‘Like That’ going number one put him on the back foot from the off

Drake opened that door on Push Ups mentioning Whitney. Kendrick warned him on Euphoria, because word got around about Drake digging for dirt.
Kendrick told him that it was a “friendly fade” and then Drake said he was a wife beater and that his kids might be Dave Free’s
I suspect Kendrick knew Drake would go there regardless and in fact, he wanted him to so that he could bomb on him. That’s why he already had tracks like Meet the Grahams tucked away. Drake ALWAYS targets another man’s girl.
There’s no way that drops if the situation didn’t escalate to that point.
Drake got his head chopped off by Pusha T for the exact same reason …he doesn’t fukking learn

It wasn't. But anything goes in a rap battle, on or off stage so long as fisticuffs don't ensue
How? It’s exactly what happened. You have 2pac as your pic. You understand how disrespectful battles get.Rewriting history and making shyt up now?
He warned him because he KNEW Family Matters was coming. He said it on Euphoria AND 6:16 in La and he knew Drake wouldn’t listen because he knew Drake likes using the woman against the rapper tactic.
Kendrick’s entire strategy was to expose Drake as so deeply illiterate of the culture that he wasn’t worthy of being part of it. He gave Drake a warning partly as a legit “You REALLY don’t want it like this” disclaimer. Partly as s threat to egg him on. And partly for theater. But the fact is that he GAVE the warning no matter the reason and Drake still went about it the way he went about it.
Whether it went personal or not Kendrick was obviously prepared whereas Drake was not.
