Ok so

Epic is Futures label

Drake, Metro , Kendrick all apart of the same parent company (not epic)

So email is for some reason trying to stop the Epic part of it essentially killing the record

Like Buser, Larry Kenswil, a retired top business and legal affairs executive for UMG, has no idea what is in the contractual agreement between Republic and Epic for “Like That.” (A rep for Sony, Epic’s parent company, also did not respond to a request for comment.) But he’s certain that Republic has no right to demand a radio takedown. If Lamar’s “euphoria” lyric about a cease-and-desist is true, Kenswil says, “The artist [Drake] complained to the label [Republic] and the label felt like they had to do something to satisfy the artist. But, of course, we probably don’t have the full story.”


He adds: “That happens all the time. Artists tell their lawyers: ‘Send a cease-and-desist.’ The lawyer says, ‘Uh, I don’t think they’re doing anything wrong.’ ‘Send a cease-and-desist or I’ll fire you.’ And they send the cease-and-desist — and don’t follow up.'” Evidence on behalf of Kenswil’s theory: “Like That” not only came out, but radio played the track, it debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and remained there for three weeks. And as of this writing, “Like That” is No. 21 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart.

You said 'ever' which includes past, present and future. Thanks for playing. lol

nikka are you retarded? :heh:

Metro's tweet implies he thinks no one has ever or will ever or could ever smash his girl BECAUSE they have known each other since they were young and she's not in the industry.

That is an illogical point of view.

The worst part is you really think you're cooking here lmao. I bet you look like the Deez Nuts guy sitting there saying GOT EEEEM after every post.

IF he just said that's my girl and I'm fully comfortable in our relationship and trust her 100% then no issue but to start listing off reasons that make no sense is when people are gonna point things out. Get over it breh, it'll all be okay.

You have zero proof on any of these things Stanley. And you are mistaking nearly every line....

-He said Abel's Mgr is gay
-He was implying Dots records are only hot with Keem on them (the last few features b4 Like That)
-Didn't say he doesn't go home, just doesn't do shyt for his community
-a label email to another label is not a C&D

Both these men Lost. Kendrick dropped the better records, but at what cost?
Shut yo p*ssy ass up get drake dikk out your mouth

Kendra Lamar pushing lip stick alley bars over a west coast sound beats and you clowns really eat that shyt up. The last diss was fire but coming Kendrick Lamar is very hyped because everyone hates drake lol.
Yeah but Drake shyt was fire when he was rapping, “How the hell you big steppin with a size 7 men’s on 💅💅💅”.

All them short bars ain’t lipstick alley bars? Please man Aubrey’s angels are too embarrassing.

So how many lies are we up to now in Family Matters?

-Weeknd is gay; LIE
-Keem writes for Kendrick: LIE
-Kendrick doesn't go back to his hood and give back: LIE
-Republic didn't send a cease and desist letter for Like That: LIE

But we're supposed to believe him when he says Dave Free fukked Kendrick's girl and Kendrick beats her.
:mjlol:

Kendrick did say "The Boy" was a habitual liar... :manny:

How come we attribute an email from the label to Drake

But when we were talking about Kendrick threatening to pull his music to protest the R Kelly and XXX censorship shyt, it was "*adjusts glasses* well ackshually it wasn't actually Kendrick and it was his label instead"

...And, Like That (still) got heavy playlisting on DSPs, so why draw the line at radio? shyt don't make sense.

At this point I don't even know what you're talking about.

You keep saying refer back to my can't vs won't post. Which part?

When I said I'm not stupid enough to think any girl CAN'T cheat on me? So what? I'm not seeing the GOTCHA in this post that you seem to think you have?

You OVO stans gotta give up the 'it's not fair!' angle. Make you sound like whiny bytches. Yes, Kendrick was a hypocrite on that front but in the grand scheme of right now it doesn't matter. Drake tried to stop Like That which is currently relevant. This R Kelly shyt is not current.
