I was thinking about this last night before i hit the sheets, friend. Why didnt Drake just release a raw rap track as a bonus and address K dot. I believe hes afraid of Kendrick and instead of competing on wax hes opting to go the corporate route and downplay the issue with above it all rhetoric. Like, i only respond when its real beef. Friend, you're a rich kid who acted in a teen sitcom, what kind of real beef are you Ever going to be in.Publicity stunt or not, Kdot tossed Drake an alley with that control verse. All Drake had to do was deliver a lord knows/stay schemein type of verse with dudes name and make it a bonus bonus track.
Not only would he have better first week sales, but he'd gain more respect as a rapper for a direct response on wax as opposed to sounding bitter in interviews.
But instead of throwing that shyt down, he took his ball and went home.
IDK, it just seems like that's what the CD is kinda about: him being very different from everyone around him and not fitting in with everyone else in his surrounding (but still kinda trying to fit in a little obviously), but his difference having a higher purpose. For the whole album he's pretty much getting beatin' up on by everyone but his crew.No it's no the same thing even in the slightest
Those werent double entendres and my analysis doesnt simply come from the phrase "murder these nikkaz"
It comes from the surrounding context of the lyrics
The talk of not helpin any of these nikkaz and that none of them will see 100 mil b4 him, and the talk about taking all these rappers fans and leaving their careers dead..the next logical step is to assume that he's sayin he wants to kill their careers
Secondly when Drake said he's waiting for a namedrop he had specific people in mind who he has actual tension with
Yes ur memory is a bit foggy cuz if u watch the interview again Drake says there are a couple of people who hes rdy for that he actually has real tension with
Kdot alrdy showed Drake Control wasnt real and Kdot doesnt really mean anything he said on Control so Drake said its not worth a battle
Drake also said he will not initiate..so basically if Drake is battling it better be real beefYes real beef
Not this wwe sht u soft ass new fck boi fans of this era keep askin for
the context supports the idea that he is going to murder them by being the better mc. you understand that right? hes not saying 'im coming at you and im gonna diss you' he is saying 'im gonna be so good and outshine you so much they wont want to hear you'. its just some slick shyt to say 'im bringing my a game, you best bring yours'. why would he actually want to end their careers when he said he got love for all of em?
as far as waiting for specific people, shyt, man up. if he got real issues with some other rappers why is he waiting for them to spark it? drake always talkin bout 'they scared to say my name' and when someone does he is on some 'oh not him, i mean these other guys who i wont name either, but not because im scared to name em, just because it would be scathing' shyt. gtfoh. who the fukk is he talking about? kardinal offishal? weeknd? sean kingston? phonte? who? who could he possibly have 'real beef' with?
'beef' is when ya moms aint safe up in the street. drake aint never gonna have no 'real beef'.

I think that's why him and Drake occupy a lot of the same fan base/have a good standing with black middle class teenagers and 20-somethings. They are very similar in terms of content/reaction to their environments.
Somebody finally gets it....Kendrick said hes trying to be the best of the best. Drake felt a way about it because he knows that Kendricks rise, is his fall.
i took GKMC as a representation of him having an inner struggle in choosing right or wrong, good or evil, and this was compounded by the craziness of the city. i dont think it was about him not fitting in at all because he actually fitted in a bit too well with his homies/city which led to some of the bullshyt he was caught up in.IDK, it just seems like that's what the CD is kinda about: him being very different from everyone around him and not fitting in with everyone else in his surrounding (but still kinda trying to fit in a little obviously), but his difference having a higher purpose.

Are you calling us weak, friend?Three weeks ago Kendrick took up the mantle of the Anti-Christ on here. Now he's being hailed once again as the savior of hip hop. Drake dictates the tone of this whole forum. And there's nothing you can do about it.
Yeah, I think people are just hoppin' on the computer and trying to act like some hard nikkas, or maybe in reality think that they are "hard", or just middle class suburbanites trying to out live a fantasy through music (that's probably what ist is considering how disapppointed nikkas on here were when they found out Ross wasn't really moving work ).I guess they didn't learn anything from the Alley Boy situation. All these dudes talk tough online but having Marvin's Room moments behind closed doors. Broke versions of Drake and looking in that mirror makes them so mad. And there's nothing they can do about it.
Well he obviously didn't fit in. Sure he had a gang of nikkas that rolled with him, but so did Nick Cannon in "Love Don't Cost A Thing". Yeah, a crew of awkward nikkas rollin' out together. Still doesn't mean you fit in into the social scene around you. He made a track about not being respected by his peers.i dont think it was about him not fitting in at all because he actually fitted in a bit too well with his homies/city which led to some of the bullshyt he was caught up in.
