Reasons why "Family Matters" actually sucked and didn't age well

It was ok, Kendrick just came out with 4 much better songs.
drake can only ever perform the 2nd part of family mid to avoid any lyric changes due to the embarrassing amount of lines that aged horribly, even then he has that line about baby keem writing for kendrick which was immediately followed by a bullies reference track by kendrick leaking.

Personally interpreted the Baby Keem line in "Family Matters" as "Your latest songs only really slap when you have Keem on the song with you" (i.e. "Family Ties", "The Hillbillies", "range brothers", "Savior"

But more importantly than all of that:

 

[Yehuda]

It goes "Meet the Grahams" > "Not Like Us", I don't even acknowledge the other songs.

Family Matters was going crazy for like 45 minutes and instantly got crushed by MTG. I never seen anything like it. One of the greatest music nights of all time

 

[Sad Bunny]

Outside of Not Like Us, I don’t see many people revisiting the other songs from the beef. So whether they age well or not doesn’t really matter

Cap. Euphoria still getting crazy spins.

You must be an undercover Drake stan

2 more reasons:

Kendrick told the white boy we didn't want to hear him saying the n-word anymore, but the half-a-cac started his rap with a racial slur.

Also,

Didn’t Drake have some old lady telling him not to say the N word at the beginning too?

That was his mother. Aubrey should've listened to her.

 

[Sad Bunny]

think it’s actually a lot cooler that Drake put out a really good record that would have cooked most artists

It didn’t even cook the other rappers he dissed on it though

 

[MicIsGod]

I still think NLU was crushing the buildings regardless. Drake would've just had an even worse false sense of security and inflated ego that would've made the impact even more terrible.

It would be viewed as a better battle if it took 3 weeks.

Just one big run-on sentence. No commas, no periods, no structure.

Prime example: third verse which is actually my favorite verse. “Maybe I’m Prince and you actually Mike”. I’m not with the clowning Mike shenanigans but he made an illustration of how Kendrick is Mike but he failed to connect how he himself is comparable to Prince.

Small detail but a microcosm of how unstructured and unprepared the song is. Just one big incomplete thought.

What makes it even worse is on Pushups he said "what's a Prince to a king, he a son, nikka". So, clever flip on Pushups. Not so clever on family matters because:

A: Who cares if Kendrick does feature's for white people?? I never even heard the maroon 5 verse, and as far as I know. Taylor Swift fukked with Backseat Freestyle and wanted to work with Kendrick. Is he not suppose to try to expand his audience (it's still the music BUSINESS at the end of the day)??

B: Drake flipped it back on himself. If we're going by what Drake said about Prince on Pushups. Then he's basically saying "Oh shyt, maybe i'm the son".

Maybe i'm the one misinterpreting what he was trying to say, idk

I’m not gonna front, he kilt rocky but no one is really here for rocky to begin with so…




Rocky was like that dude at the lunch table laughing too hard at the jokes and got a couple thrown his way

Push Ups >>> Family Matters

 

[TheJet]

Push Ups >>> Family Matters

A hot bowl of diarrhea soup with hot sauce>>>> Bofe of 'em

 

[tinnyskillz]

Push Ups >>> Family Matters

I'm in the minority but I like this version better than the final version:

Beat is more sinister
Few extra lines were dope
The Get Money sample

The final version Drake has more energy though. And part of the og sounds like ai.

Not only it aged like milk but it was never good to begin with
