I'm tired of comments like "Drake isn't true hip-hop". People accept change everywhere except hip-hop. Even though Hiphop is from America's inner cities, it is now a global art form. It has evolved from its early origins, and the definition of blackness has evolved from just America to a large black diaspora. Drake represents this black diaspora, venturing out into the different art forms and bringing them to the limelight. Drakes' feature with Wizkid was a big moment for Afrobeats in America and Nigeria. His branching out is not a negative but a positive, only Americans and supposed "true hip-hop fans" see it this way. Kendrick and Drake have their role and space in hip-hop, one is not better than the other. The definition of the black struggle must also evolve for black Americans, there is a large black diaspora out there that connects with the art form and loves some form of representation. Drake featuring other artists from other art forms shines a light on their music and even sometimes is followed by American music money for the local music industry. Your video to some aspect has a narrow American view of Drake.
You need to EDUCATE YOURSELF ON KENDRICK LAMAR. Your ignorance shows when you accuse him of probably having a persona. His entire album MR.MORALE SPEAKS TO ALL OF HIS DEMONS AND SHORT COMMINGS. He's always been honest about who he is. You've completely ruined your so called documentary for me. You're not smart at all, Sir.
The video is really great but I think chapter 8 misses the mark. The reason why Drake's accusations towards Kendrick Lamar haven't caused much of a stir is because Kendrick already talks about all his shortcomings in his music. He doesn't portray himself as a role model at all, but as a flawed person who tries to make the right choices, and keeps saying "I am not your saviour." And Drake HAS claimed to be part of the culture.
Kendrick did reject the idea of people calling him a messiah and a savior or a righteous and flawless person. wrote a whole album about it. why does every other person talking about this beef ignore this fact. he speaks on important and impactful issues, he brings attention to them, he makes people think and reflect on them, maybe inspires people but he can't solve the issues for people. none of the artists/celebrities can.
No. Kendrick only used that idea when it was convenient. Yet 2 years later here he is trying to take that role again and control everyone’s opinions so they can all hate on another man. He becomes the savior when he wants to hide his insecurities. But abandons that role when the pressure gets too much. Biggest hypocrite
@@leultrainstinct406 How was the pressure "too much" when he made MR. moral? That argument doesn't make sense. He isn't trying to be any one's savior; is he supposed to just stop making music?
I don’t know if you’ve actually listened to “Mr. Morale”, but Kendrick addresses his infidelity, his depression and his inability to continue to be a martyr for his community. He is instead stating that while he cares for all these things he has to heal himself and his family, the crown of thrones represents Christ Conscious in that he will sacrifice all for his family, that he chooses himself and his family other then standing as a cultural figure….. so all Drake did was listen to Kendrick’s album and regurgitate the self proclaimed struggles Kendrick already told his audience. That’s what makes this battle even greater, Kendrick can expose his own mind and his struggles publicly , Drake just wants fame..
I think Drake was banking on the fact that the majority of his fans will not have listened to Mr. Morale, so he was playing this perception/public image game more than anything. Hip Hop heads will know its a regurgitation, but the wider public might not. The issue is while Drake was trying to service the wider public with his raps - Kendrick was coming from the perspective of black culture and those within it (and also those who even if they are not black, they have taken the time and effort to try to understand that culture intimately) - which ultimately in the world of hip hop is what matters most. You gotta get that down before trying to achieve anything else if you truly want to be respected as a hip hop/rapper rather than just a pop star. Kendrick's focus on the culture - one that he is intimately familiar with given his background and experiences - is what ultimately contributed to his winning this beef in my opinion.
This part drives me crazy. All these reactors saying it’s ridiculous that Drake accused Kendrick of cheating, being an absent father and Whitney possibly leaving, since that would ruin his reputation, while also clowning on Drake for not understanding Mother I Sober. Meanwhile, Kendrick literally has a whole verse on that song on him not having any addictions except one: “sleepin' with other women” and how much it hurt Whitney. Later he says he “made it home, seven years of tour, chasin' manhood”, followed by “But Whitney's gone, by time you hear this song, she did all she could”, then on how these other women made him feel and that he prays their children don’t take after him. I think you have a great point in saying “Drake’s just saying out loud what Kendrick already said, what all fans know” - but then why do all these reactors insist that they’re fans, but that these are lies and shocking, unrealistic allegations? I just think it’s a double standard. I am absolutely not a Drake fan, but the fact that people believe everything from Kendrick and nothing from Drake, even when the guy admitted it himself seems wild. That feels just as weird as these Drake-stans in denial, insisting he won and can do nothing wrong.
Why do everyone who claims everyone just turned on Drake conveniently leave out that Drake has dissed all these ppl repeatedly, on for all the dogs last year he dissed Rihanna, asap rocky, pusha t, Kendrick & future etc. he always disses ppl he f*cked the man who put him in the games girlfriend while he was in jail that lets u know the type of character he has 🤷🏽♂️
Drake switched up the moment he beat Meek Mills. After that he became extremly petty and paranoid. It's similar to 2pac after he got shot. Difference is, 2Pac was a man of the people, Drake isn't.
Kendrick rapped about cheating on his wife in his last album, the start of Euphoria he mentions that Drake is going to misinterprete Mr Morale for a diss and he did that twice in his disses
What’s your point. Drake has berm rapping about his parents divorce and the struggles being mixed race, and the lessons he’s learned from relationships since he started his career. Yet Kendrick still tried to twist things and tell lies
Kendrick has never in his life painted himself to be a sinless savior. You didn't listen to the music at all. All of his music is about his flaws as a person.
You skipped over Taylor made freestyle. That song was a pretty important part of Drake's downfall. When Tupac's estate is sending cease and desist orders it proves Kendrick's point that "I'm what the culture feelin". Drake uses the voices of two of the most authentic west coast rappers to diss Kendrick in the most inauthentic way.
That's my feelings on that. When Drake said kendrick told the Tupac estate to take it down. I was like, if kendrick did good cuz that song was lame asf.
@@productplacementadz24-73😂😂 it's so funny he claimed that Kendrick told them to take it down because it's so unbelievable that the estate had to be reminded to do their job. You used AI of a dead artist, what else did you expect dude?! 😂 Anyways, the video should've definitely mentioned how badly Taylor Made aged because it showed Drake's carelessness with stealing within hip-hop, it's one thing to steal lyrics, flows, accents and from culture... but the voices of people that he never got permission from? Crazy.
You mean the same estate ran by wealthy white people who aren’t connected to pacs family? Lmao yea alright. Speaking of Taylor made, I hope y’all realize drake predicted every single angle and lie Kendrick was gonna make on that song. Yet the moment Kendrick says it on euphoria you believe he’s a prophet
@@leultrainstinct406 He predicted it and still lost....that's wild. 😂 Drake was begging Kendrick to drop and HE DID. The song was in poor taste and was deleted so it obviously isn't gonna get the credit you think it deserves.
@@navonmyhand7999Also, really look at how The Heart Part 6 fumbles Mother I Sober-Not only is the track about K-Dot's MOTHER'S SA, but it is ALSO about generational trauma within communities. That, IMO, is the MOST egregious act of not understanding the culture. Not only could he not be bothered to listen enough to notice it was Kdots mom being SA. He couldn't realize it was homage to culture roots
@@DarlingMissDarling And was he helped with getting into the music industry. Y'all act like drake was some rich pampered kid. When his life was similar to the life's of many regular people.He didn't have money at a point but does now. He had regular people problems like money issues he didn't see anyone get shot or wasn't involved in drugs. That's what y'all consider the bottom. He brought himself up of talent there was no secret dead rich uncle that gave him what he got. He was fortunate enough to get an actor's role his mother was struggling he made money of Degrassi did what any sane person would do capitalized of the opportunity became a rapper. Acting like he ain't got talent. Saying he ain't start from the bottom when 50℅ wouldn't be able to work as hard to get to this level from the suburbs.
@@wsollnti lol you should sit down, you must've hurt yourself with that reach. now you know good damn well that he was taking about his upbringing. We've already heard the lyrics, bruh. Can't change the rhetoric now but nice try! 🤣🤣🤣
Glazing Drake in the first 3 chapters then completely misunderstanding Kendrick persona in chapter 8 "if Kendrick really cheated on his wife and is not living with his family that will destroy the messiah image he created " like drake you definitely didn't listen to Mr Morals, DAMN or even TPAB..smh
36:00 to say that kendrick has not rejected a messiah persona is wild when that was the entire point of mr morale. Mr Morale openly addressed most of Drake’s distortions of Kendrick’s character as foretold in the opening lines of Euphoria. people dissecting this beef are constantly exposing that they did not listen closely to Mr. Morale. on the song Savior, Kendrick says blatantly, “Kendrick made you think about it, but he is NOT YOUR SAVIOR.” his albums are all extremely revealing about his internal world and psyche...this video is incredibly well constructed but I can’t help but see these repeated oversights in analyses of this beef as purposeful so that you don’t seem biased in Kendrick’s favor. but let’s not ignore blatant facts about Kendrick just to portray an image of objectivity, but in order to be truly objective, you need to address the deeply personal and revealing content in his music as well.
@kimaya4503 Dot is no longer running from his destiny. His opponent recognized him as a savior & and taunted him with "rapping like you tryna free slaves". Then Dot held up his hands, called "Elohim, KTW, no you can't sleep," The 6 God's big budget battle rap musical Family Matters was struck down by lyrical plagues.
Hell yeah, ditto. This was so damn well made, but I was waiting for one sign, just one, that he had actually engaged with Kendrick's music half as much as he has with Drake's. There is a long list of reasons why Kendrick's accusations, however exaggerated (or not), smacked so resoundingly of truth, while Drake's came off as typical narcissistic gaslighting. (Anyone who has actually dealt with real clinical narcissistic behavior could see through Drake from day one.) People who are capable of living entirely behind a facade don't make art like Kendrick's--full of self-doubt, confessions of one's flaws, critical depth, and torturous reflection--they make stylish but empty works of entertainment, grandiose and hollow, like Drake.
@@sunandablanc exactly my thoughts. you cannot FAKE everything and saying that Kendrick is authentic is not the same as saying he’s perfect. but they never wanna acknowledge that.
Kendrick did address all of Drake's "Accusations" a year ago on Mr. Morale. He talks about being unfaithful and not being a good man to Whitney. Multiple songs on that album are about being better and growing as a person.
He also called drake a liar on literally every song and said "why did you go so far to discredit some decent people" on meet the grahams. I'm not sure why but no one really seems to consider these as addressing the accusations
@@SweatshirtHeronthat and the video they point to to claim he beat Whitney, him and Whitney weren’t even together at that point in his career. It’s dangerous to believe anyone is infallible, but Kendrick has been very open and honest in his music as he strives to be a better person. Drake is still a 20 year old kid wanting to “sleep with every girl in the world”…
An "outsider" made this video! What did you expect!? Kendrick's disses and albums always have comments saying the lyrics are too complex etc & folks prefer the Green Eggs & Ham easy/empty lyrics Drake pushes.
He even clearly alluded to Whitney leaving him on Mother I Sober.. “I made it home, seven years of tour, chasin' manhood But Whitney's gone, by time you hear this song, she did all she could”
@@luisdaniellopez4571 don't be stupid. his rap PERFORMANCE is phenomenal, one of the best to do it. HOWEVER, he doesn't write his own stuff, much like most 99% of popstars throughout history.
Right?! It wasn't even "lower middle class". I was 25 at that time (and lived in one of the most expensive states), even then 50K/yr was _still_ considered "well off".
@@Angela-xr3xg Ja Rule's style of singing still leaned into that gangsta persona of the early 2000s. What Kanye did with 808s was make it acceptable for rappers to sing about introspective and emotional matters without having to be a 'thug'. Because of 808s, Drake had an easier time being accepted because Kanye had already kicked down that door.
@@mundicox8951 knock it off. You're talking semantics. Ja rule was the first Crooning rapper in 1994. He was joked about it and made fun of. He started his career two to three years before Kanye West. That melodic rap was already in full effect and accepted by the masses because ja rule had so many hits singing that way. If doesn't matter the subject matter, be it thug love, or nerdy love. He was the first. Kanye started as a music producer capitalizing on that melodic rap style. Y'all must be gen y and z in these comments and don't have full grasp of the 90s music.
@@AuburnFanSince2010 you may be right. Snoop Dog probably was the first or warren G but ja Rule may have had bigger success with it. So that's probably why I forgot about them two.
drake is like a marvel movie, a lot of them come out and some are entertaining, but kendrick is like a martin scorsese art film that will stay with you for a lot longer and make you look at things different
The neighbourhood that Drake grew up in is one of the 3 richest neighbourhoods in Toronto. His family wasn't poor or even middle class, they were very well off. Either his step-dad makes a lot of money or his Mom came from money because being a teacher doesn't pay enough to afford the multi-million dollar houses in Forest Hill.
He used to live in Weston road a lower income area up until high school when he got to his Degrassi days, he's always talked about how he grew up in Weston and then he said his mom worked so he could move out
"Fame is a funny thing. It's almost like you have to be messed up to succeed. What kind of normal, well adjusted person wants to be famous? Who looks into the future at a life with no privacy, were you can't connect with people, can't trust your friends, can't take a break, can't have normal relationships and says, 'I want that.'?" Couldn't have said it better myself.
this video completely failed to understand kendrick's persona and his music. he has songs from 2010 addressing domestic violence, and the entirety of mr morale was him taking accountability for being unfaithful to whitney. he completely rejected the idea of being a black messiah on mirror. kendrick also called drake a liar on every single diss, and some of the first lines of euphoria claimed that drake was fabricating stories about kendrick because he didn't understand mr morale. kendrick dedicated like 4 whole bars to claiming that he's there for his kids unlike drake. we don't have enough information to say with certainty that kendrick has beat whitney, but everything else can be addressed. for the amount of production value this video has, the amount of research that went into it, and the cultural impact that a volksgeist video will have you all really failed to capture the essence of this moment, and trivialized drakes words against kendrick as "we dont know." if you actually knew anything about kendrick lamar, then you would know that the claims that drake made are not true.
I don’t believe what Drake said about Kendrick is true at all either, but I think his point is that because Kendrick is so extremely private when it comes to his personal life outside of his music, we don’t really have any evidence of anything outside of Kendrick’s own word, which is kind of true. But given the fact that Drake doesn’t have any proof outside of an insta post is a strong indication he just made it all up.
This. The big difference between someone who accepts the flawed human being we are and WORK and be willing to get better. Versus people who front and evade accountability.
Drake is not your savior. Kendrick is not your savior. Cheating on Whitney is no revelation because Kendrick talked about it extensively on Mr Morale, the album you mentioned which I don’t believe you actually listened to like all other drake fans. “A title he did not reject”, again clearly did not listen to DAMN or Mr Morale because Kendrick very clearly does not want the title of Hip Hop’s messiah. If you see him wearing the crown of thorns and think it’s literal, I’m sorry but you need to get better at critical thinking and analysis.
@@kierannyaga5964 he moved to Forest Hill in 2000, a year before he got the acting job. Seeing that he was born in 1986 he would have been 14. I’m not sure how much the “English teacher pay” assisted to move in the top 3 neighbourhood. However, a quick google shows her average wage would have been between $38,000 and $41,000 Canadian dollars at that time. Therefore, generational wealth could have played a part.
@@4thegood ehh don’t think so tbh. They went from a not so good area to splitting the rent of a house with another family in a good area. W Drake paying for some of it according to him in his songs and even back then in interviews
@@kierannyaga5964 he had a basement and his mother had the ground floor. Yes they rented from a family that lived in the first floor, however, they lived in Forest Hill (a top neighbourhood). Struggling families can’t just make that switch. So like I said in my original post Drake’s “suffering” was relative to the wealthy people in his area. Not saying there aren’t varying levels of wealth and salary in rich/nice communities. However, let’s not pretend he was in some down and out roach infested rented flat. The guy lived in a top neighbourhood with above average salary and connections to influential people. I even looked at the images and videos online. Drake described it as “not luxurious” however you should see how clean, well presented and homely the property was.
Lil Wayne even told him to stick to singing and rapping about love songs and don’t go outside of his lane at the very beginning. Guess he didn’t listen 🤷🏽♂️
I don't get the doomsday talk about Drake. Not much changed for Drake at all, he can go back to the pop lane at any times. His numbers are up since the beef, not many ppl outside a small internet hip hop bubble actually care. Ppl enjoy his music and gonna enjoy it in the future.
@@Elliott_ElliottThe doomsday talk is legitimate. It's implied in your comment. He will always have hits, he's Drake. In Hip-Hop it just won't be the same for him. As you said, he will always have that pop lane though.
As far as whether or not Kendrick is righteous or not, his music is like a diary. He's already admitted to a lot of his shortcomings and vices. He also repeatedly tells us, "I am not your savior," and that he is not an activist.
Also, rappers were rapping and singing BEFORE Drake. lmao Kanye, 50 Cent, Nate Dogg, Biz Markie, Bone Thugs, Ceelo Green, Q-Tip, Wyclef, Andre 3000, Pharrell... Need I go on.
@@mrcead Exactly. When people have an agenda they try to act like the person/what they're pushing is the first to ever do something, and blatantly ignoring the people who did/pioneered something before. Kind of like how Hollywood act like there were never ever any strong female characters or leads in movies before 2015.
I'm from Brazil, but it's funny to listen the word "around the world" alongside Drake. Because he stepped foot one time in South America (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and that's it. The world is more than USA, Europe and Australia.
So no one in your country listens to Drake? 🤨 Thats kinda cool. 😂 But he did stop there....if only once. Which means he has some fans. The numbers dont lie even if majority of the fans are from the places you named. BBL DRIZZY which wasnt even menrioned....was rapped in like 10 different languages!

But what to expect from a drake?
So what do you call Kendrick refusing to ever properly marry Whitney and keeping her engaged for years just to cheat on and manipulate her with white women due to a sex addiction? There’s a reason she’s raising the kids alone.
@@leultrainstinct406That's between two consenting adults. So if you have a problem with that, you MUST have a problem with how Drake makes moves on young women.
Kendrick torn himself, his demons and moral ideals on his Mr Morale/Steppers EP. Everyone who isn't familiar with Kendrick's albums and work are the ones not understanding why Drake lost badly. Especially his fans.
Imagine dissing someone on something he ALREADY talked about years ago...makes no sense but somehow ppl act as if Drake diss was "hard" just repeating all he heard from Mr Morals...."trying to lie on the family front because you heard Mr Morals"
I dont get Kenderick doesnt just project an upright moral person but someone who tries to be and struggles with his demons and vices... We dont think he is perfect but rather very human.

@@plsreactto7852 unfortunately the things a lot of celebrities are being accused of and proven to have done nowadays is a lot worse in comparison they’re not saying it’s not bad
Bruh i was thinking the same shi 19:48 “Its not like anything drake has done is outside the bounds of whats expected of a typical celebrity. Dating inappropriately YOUNG WOMEN, paying off gangs, being a casual alchoholic and promoting gambling is pretty tame as far as things go” is the whole lil segment we’re talking about. ???? Mans is hella downplaying some crazy stuff, ESPECIALLY the dating inappropriately underage women part. Even if it is ‘typical’ for a celebrity (it really isnt), its still insane especially for someone of Drake’s high-status position. It also seems like he downplays the same typa thing (13:15) where he says “but none of this really lies beyond the realm of respectable behaviour in the entertainment industry. “ … “And none of what I said is UNUSUAL in context” For context, right before these sentences he talks about drake texting underage women (specifically Millie (at 14), and Kylie Jenner (at 16)) only to brush it off (at least to me) saying its not unusual (WHAT?). All in all, amazing video, amazing narration, editing and storytelling but there were def some points missed, no hate.
I went back recently and re-listened to Story of Addidon, and man it's insane Drake survived that. Even past the child stuff, Pusha said a lot of the same things Kendrick said on Euphoria. Even just the combo of the single art and rapping over the beat from the Story of OJ is incredibly biting commentary.
Right! I always thought the hiding a kid thing was the least scathing part. I could see the dissection of him as a person bothering him much more. Any other artist/time and that’s a career ending diss
cuz 1- Pusha is like 10% as mainstream as Kendrick so Drake could easily ignore him and play the bigger artist card , 2- as great as that diss it just didn't have that much replay value, and 3- Drake dropped Scorpion immediately after the beef and that album had multiple smash hits that saved him and then Sicko Mode dropped that same summer and by that point everyone was back on Drake's side lol
Facts! What Pusha did to him was INSANE 😂 the kid part ain’t even half as rough as what he said about Drakes dad. Seriously the fact that Drake didn’t crash out after that was the ULTIMATE L
@cheng-tsohsieh9990 brotha the whole vibe was different from all the albums and a lot similar to weeknd's music in that era so i dont think so i need to tell you who he got to help him on that , he Gave him 5 SONGS means they were his songs and the most probably got made with his help
@@AjSinRag He wrote for 5, and kendrick did an interlude, dont be dishonest, you actingas if there an artist in this wortld who writes all their hooks, all their samples they perform and all their beats they make, or all the songs they have were their original idea... the weeknd is an executive producer and all 5 of the songs that were his, have a drake verse and weeknd vocals, this view point is weird.
I can’t believe people thought kendrick wouldn’t respond 😂 and i think you missed the mark about kendrick’s music solely being about taking the moral high ground. his entire last album was speaking on how he is a flawed person and that no one should be seen as a savior.
When the white friend hasn't earned N-word privileges from the group yet and has to use replacement words. And just to mess with him more, they say "It's neighba, watch that hard R bro" XD
“R&B and Pop Rap.” That sums him up. He’s got a huge audience due to his pop sensibilities and bc of that he sells records and tickets. And that’s alright. The issue that arose was, should that person also be referred to as the G.O.A.T. in hip hop seemingly bc he’s outselling his contemporaries? Because if we’re gauging the GOAT on skills and content…we need to have a conversation here.
People act like writing a hook is easier than writing some "lyrical spiritual miracles" -- but it's actually the reverse-- a good hook is what a good poem is-- it clings to the memory so intuitively that it becomes a part of one's natural vocabulary. William Blake wrote hooks
@@dwaydethree That part. Knowing what catches you in a hook is easy to identify but writing actual hook yourself seems boundless, because of the key fact it needs to still stay simple. At least with writing bars you can spread your wings more with how you frame any said verse.

Drake raps better than all 85℅ of the rap industry. And is versatile. Why we acting like drake doesn't have skills. His able to switch genres and he hits gold every time. That's GOAT. Kendrick a better rapper l accept that but Drake's a better musician/artist.
@@XSAVAGbut he’s not though. He’s literally an actor, to call him the greatest is an insult to every truly GREAT artist that ever lived. What makes greatness is doing it all, not having a team to make it *appear* as though you’re doing it all. THAT’S the difference.
Why wasn't "Taylor made" mentioned. I hate the fact that people like to skip over the disrespect of using Pac's voice and the fact that Drake told Kendrick to rap about the young girls he like. It was also Drake that mentioned Kendrick's wife first.
The irony of Drake saying Kendricks control verse was only a "moment" that no one listens to anymore. That's just about Drakes entire discography, mass produced mediocre songs that almost never stand that test of time. While Kendrick has multiple timeless albums and to me even his OP and ED mixtapes are timeless. Goofy ah projection

KENDRICK IS LIVING WITH WHITNEY, UZI AND ENOCH IN NY. That's his Woman and children btw. You don't know anything about KDOT. You clearly don't listen to his albums. Especially Mr.Morale.
It was clear when he showed that he listen to Drake a lot. But as himself admited, he is white and 70% of rap fans are just like him. They don't care about concious rap or the culture. He went light on Drake like what Kendrick accused him of didn't have any online track or evidence, while he went hard on Kendrick based only on what Drake said in the songs, with zero evidence.
Kendrick is also just self-aware, Drake is so unbelievably not self-aware at all. Kendrick is always honest with what he's going through, struggling with, seeing, his sins, his successes, his growth, etc. I don't know dick about Drake other than he's rich and braggadocios and thinks he's somehow "that guy" from every angle
If Drake had respected the culture and how skilled kendrick is, he would have seen what euphoria was, and there was no option to respond to someone so masterful and rooted in his craft "this is a friendly fade, if you keep it that way" but alas, kendrick shot him with the truth serum, and drake was humiliated
Drake was being Drake when So Far Gone and Thank Me Later hit the radio. Once Take Care and Nothing Was The Same came out, he was making sense. He was being himself at least musically. Paris Morton Music is a song I listen to that brings me back in time. That’s what Drake was so good at one point in his career. He was good at making music that made you remember old times. I wish he had just stayed with that. Because in my opinion, that’s what made him special. But he’s so far gone now (No pun intended) that he doesn’t have that same effect anymore. Everything is dead. Dry. Bland, and very shallow. If only he went back to that sound before heading too deep into this fake ass gangsta made man persona. Smh.
Majority of the tracks on Take Care was written by The Weeknd, Drake almost stole those track to put it on his album. That's why Weeknd didn't sigh with OVO. He knew he had talent to be a start himself insted of a ghost writer.
That is not even true lmao. Yall forget Drake dating history is Serena Williams, Rihanna, JLO and so on. I don't think he has publicly dated someone younger than him lol
If we are being honest, half or most of the songs that went number ones from drake aren’t exactly pure rap songs they are mostly pop songs so to my question, is drake actually a rapper anymore has he been a rapper for the past 10 years ?
I mean yea he’s a pop rapper obv obviously but he never stopped rapping lol, all the scary hours projects are rap, scorpion was half rap, dark lane demo tapes, her loss. Whether you like em or not is your taste but 🤷🏾♂️

He's the GOAT. The hook for Marvin’s room is so good that it inspired a whole generation of artists from 2012 to 2016, he’ll it was the literal bedrock for Puerto Rican trap music, without Marvin’s room we wouldn’t have bad bunny.
he and his team took the benefits of being light-skinned and half-white and played many cultures in which if you didn't know his race he could have EASILY been distinguished with. It's a play on psychology. Think about it, if he were DARSKINNED he wouldn't be as famous. Super dark skinned people arent famous like that....he took advantage of the subliminal colorism across many cultures.
So he’s an exaggerated version of anyone that throws away blessings, hard work, and common sense for a quick thrill. Money and Influence will augment your worse parts. Drake is mentally a teenager, this isn't hard to understand. He actually acts like a teenager to me, he's not and he must be held accountable for whatever he's guilty of
He's absolutely stuck in his teen years, but he's a grown ssa man. Hopefully this triggers him to get some help, do better, and be a better role model for all his followers
You touched upon the Black Experience, the difference between Black and White Artist in a very honest balanced way as if you understood. This was very important to me and you gained my respect. Well done. I liked some of Drakes music because it did feed into my vices for the spaces in life that I found myself at but I wasn't huge on Drake and at the end of the day I need the artist that I follow to speak of my experience. Kendrick has done that.
I never understood why people loved him so much. His voice is whiny, and his whole persona is disingenuous. The industry pushes this man in our face, and even then, I never like him.
It's not about the Industry pushing him. It's about the people who actually buy his music. The Industry only provides what the customers are willing to consume.
2 losses in a row in rap battles, his last 4 albums trash, no one in the industry who he thought were his homies not coming to his defense so now he has to try to make new friends half his age... I'd say are all signs of Drake falling off homie.
I watched all of this. Greating editing, story telling, summary of their history, and key takeaways. "Who you crown as the winner says a lot about who you are", that cuts deep.
The day he died should've been when he wore black face, or when he said to Kdot "always acting like you trying to free the slaves". He's down with Hells Angels & sings a duet with Camilla Cubella, both known for being pro white. He grew up w a silver spoon in Canada, yet profits off being a rapper w ghost writers? Yet people against Kdot, for being original & true to his culture?
Since day one we’ve all known Drake is just an actor. You can’t deny he inspired a whole generation of rappers. He made some catchy music and people had fun. Kendrick is probably one of the best lyrical rappers of this generation. If he wanted to he could have marketed himself a little better and put out more music, he would have been that Goat but he was okay just chilling and putting out music when he felt like it.

Absolute Cinema Philips😭❤️🔥🫡
I'm tired of comments like "Drake isn't true hip-hop". People accept change everywhere except hip-hop. Even though Hiphop is from America's inner cities, it is now a global art form. It has evolved from its early origins, and the definition of blackness has evolved from just America to a large black diaspora. Drake represents this black diaspora, venturing out into the different art forms and bringing them to the limelight. Drakes' feature with Wizkid was a big moment for Afrobeats in America and Nigeria. His branching out is not a negative but a positive, only Americans and supposed "true hip-hop fans" see it this way. Kendrick and Drake have their role and space in hip-hop, one is not better than the other. The definition of the black struggle must also evolve for black Americans, there is a large black diaspora out there that connects with the art form and loves some form of representation. Drake featuring other artists from other art forms shines a light on their music and even sometimes is followed by American music money for the local music industry. Your video to some aspect has a narrow American view of Drake.
You need to EDUCATE YOURSELF ON KENDRICK LAMAR. Your ignorance shows when you accuse him of probably having a persona. His entire album MR.MORALE SPEAKS TO ALL OF HIS DEMONS AND SHORT COMMINGS. He's always been honest about who he is. You've completely ruined your so called documentary for me. You're not smart at all, Sir.
@@fredronknowles4200 cope harder
The video is really great but I think chapter 8 misses the mark.
The reason why Drake's accusations towards Kendrick Lamar haven't caused much of a stir is because Kendrick already talks about all his shortcomings in his music. He doesn't portray himself as a role model at all, but as a flawed person who tries to make the right choices, and keeps saying "I am not your saviour."
And Drake HAS claimed to be part of the culture.
Finally someone said it 🔥
Most people miss this especially Drake fans
Same message is in Mortal Man
He talks about cheating on his wife in his music. I think the guy talking was just trying to come up with something
Couples fight that ain’t none of our business.. now kid fucking that’s crossing the line
Kendrick did reject the idea of people calling him a messiah and a savior or a righteous and flawless person. wrote a whole album about it. why does every other person talking about this beef ignore this fact. he speaks on important and impactful issues, he brings attention to them, he makes people think and reflect on them, maybe inspires people but he can't solve the issues for people. none of the artists/celebrities can.
🎯 it's crazy to have a video this well constructed to still have this gaping hole in the center
Whole album just went through one ear and out the other for a lot of people because it was too introspective I guess. Otherwise pretty good vid
YOU ARE YOUR OWN SAVIOR.
No. Kendrick only used that idea when it was convenient. Yet 2 years later here he is trying to take that role again and control everyone’s opinions so they can all hate on another man. He becomes the savior when he wants to hide his insecurities. But abandons that role when the pressure gets too much. Biggest hypocrite
@@leultrainstinct406 How was the pressure "too much" when he made MR. moral? That argument doesn't make sense. He isn't trying to be any one's savior; is he supposed to just stop making music?
I don’t know if you’ve actually listened to “Mr. Morale”, but Kendrick addresses his infidelity, his depression and his inability to continue to be a martyr for his community. He is instead stating that while he cares for all these things he has to heal himself and his family, the crown of thrones represents Christ
Conscious in that he will sacrifice all for his family, that he chooses himself and his family other then standing as a cultural figure….. so all Drake did was listen to Kendrick’s album and regurgitate the self proclaimed struggles Kendrick already told his audience. That’s what makes this battle even greater, Kendrick can expose his own mind and his struggles publicly , Drake just wants fame..
You're absolutely right 💯
I think Drake was banking on the fact that the majority of his fans will not have listened to Mr. Morale, so he was playing this perception/public image game more than anything. Hip Hop heads will know its a regurgitation, but the wider public might not. The issue is while Drake was trying to service the wider public with his raps - Kendrick was coming from the perspective of black culture and those within it (and also those who even if they are not black, they have taken the time and effort to try to understand that culture intimately) - which ultimately in the world of hip hop is what matters most. You gotta get that down before trying to achieve anything else if you truly want to be respected as a hip hop/rapper rather than just a pop star. Kendrick's focus on the culture - one that he is intimately familiar with given his background and experiences - is what ultimately contributed to his winning this beef in my opinion.
Damn, you should do your own Documentary on the subject! Holler at me when it's up lol
regardless Kendrick is the truth.
This part drives me crazy. All these reactors saying it’s ridiculous that Drake accused Kendrick of cheating, being an absent father and Whitney possibly leaving, since that would ruin his reputation, while also clowning on Drake for not understanding Mother I Sober. Meanwhile, Kendrick literally has a whole verse on that song on him not having any addictions except one: “sleepin' with other women” and how much it hurt Whitney. Later he says he “made it home, seven years of tour, chasin' manhood”, followed by “But Whitney's gone, by time you hear this song, she did all she could”, then on how these other women made him feel and that he prays their children don’t take after him.
I think you have a great point in saying “Drake’s just saying out loud what Kendrick already said, what all fans know” - but then why do all these reactors insist that they’re fans, but that these are lies and shocking, unrealistic allegations? I just think it’s a double standard. I am absolutely not a Drake fan, but the fact that people believe everything from Kendrick and nothing from Drake, even when the guy admitted it himself seems wild. That feels just as weird as these Drake-stans in denial, insisting he won and can do nothing wrong.
Why do everyone who claims everyone just turned on Drake conveniently leave out that Drake has dissed all these ppl repeatedly, on for all the dogs last year he dissed Rihanna, asap rocky, pusha t, Kendrick & future etc. he always disses ppl he f*cked the man who put him in the games girlfriend while he was in jail that lets u know the type of character he has 🤷🏽♂️

Drake switched up the moment he beat Meek Mills. After that he became extremly petty and paranoid. It's similar to 2pac after he got shot. Difference is, 2Pac was a man of the people, Drake isn't.

You skipped over Taylor made freestyle. That song was a pretty important part of Drake's downfall. When Tupac's estate is sending cease and desist orders it proves Kendrick's point that "I'm what the culture feelin". Drake uses the voices of two of the most authentic west coast rappers to diss Kendrick in the most inauthentic way.
That's my feelings on that. When Drake said kendrick told the Tupac estate to take it down. I was like, if kendrick did good cuz that song was lame asf.

You mean the same estate ran by wealthy white people who aren’t connected to pacs family? Lmao yea alright.

36:00 to say that kendrick has not rejected a messiah persona is wild when that was the entire point of mr morale. Mr Morale openly addressed most of Drake’s distortions of Kendrick’s character as foretold in the opening lines of Euphoria. people dissecting this beef are constantly exposing that they did not listen closely to Mr. Morale. on the song Savior, Kendrick says blatantly, “Kendrick made you think about it, but he is NOT YOUR SAVIOR.”
his albums are all extremely revealing about his internal world and psyche...this video is incredibly well constructed but I can’t help but see these repeated oversights in analyses of this beef as purposeful so that you don’t seem biased in Kendrick’s favor. but let’s not ignore blatant facts about Kendrick just to portray an image of objectivity, but in order to be truly objective, you need to address the deeply personal and revealing content in his music as well.
whenever kendrick is mentioned in this video it’s made painfully obvious that Vox either didn’t listen to or skimmed through mr morale.
@kimaya4503 Dot is no longer running from his destiny. His opponent recognized him as a savior & and taunted him with "rapping like you tryna free slaves".

@@rome8934 unfortunately true. it’s a bit embarrassing honestly, bc it undermines a nearly masterful documentary.
Hell yeah, ditto. This was so damn well made, but I was waiting for one sign, just one, that he had actually engaged with Kendrick's music half as much as he has with Drake's. There is a long list of reasons why Kendrick's accusations, however exaggerated (or not), smacked so resoundingly of truth, while Drake's came off as typical narcissistic gaslighting. (Anyone who has actually dealt with real clinical narcissistic behavior could see through Drake from day one.) People who are capable of living entirely behind a facade don't make art like Kendrick's--full of self-doubt, confessions of one's flaws, critical depth, and torturous reflection--they make stylish but empty works of entertainment, grandiose and hollow, like Drake.
@@sunandablanc exactly my thoughts. you cannot FAKE everything and saying that Kendrick is authentic is not the same as saying he’s perfect. but they never wanna acknowledge that.
Kendrick did address all of Drake's "Accusations" a year ago on Mr. Morale. He talks about being unfaithful and not being a good man to Whitney. Multiple songs on that album are about being better and growing as a person.
He also called drake a liar on literally every song and said "why did you go so far to discredit some decent people" on meet the grahams. I'm not sure why but no one really seems to consider these as addressing the accusations
@@SweatshirtHeronthis is bc a lot of ppl need everything spelled out for them unfortunately.
@@SweatshirtHeronthat and the video they point to to claim he beat Whitney, him and Whitney weren’t even together at that point in his career. It’s dangerous to believe anyone is infallible, but Kendrick has been very open and honest in his music as he strives to be a better person. Drake is still a 20 year old kid wanting to “sleep with every girl in the world”…
An "outsider" made this video! What did you expect!? Kendrick's disses and albums always have comments saying the lyrics are too complex etc & folks prefer the Green Eggs & Ham easy/empty lyrics Drake pushes.
He even clearly alluded to Whitney leaving him on Mother I Sober..
“I made it home, seven years of tour, chasin' manhood But Whitney's gone, by time you hear this song, she did all she could”

this video completely failed to understand kendrick's persona and his music. he has songs from 2010 addressing domestic violence, and the entirety of mr morale was him taking accountability for being unfaithful to whitney. he completely rejected the idea of being a black messiah on mirror. kendrick also called drake a liar on every single diss, and some of the first lines of euphoria claimed that drake was fabricating stories about kendrick because he didn't understand mr morale. kendrick dedicated like 4 whole bars to claiming that he's there for his kids unlike drake. we don't have enough information to say with certainty that kendrick has beat whitney, but everything else can be addressed. for the amount of production value this video has, the amount of research that went into it, and the cultural impact that a volksgeist video will have you all really failed to capture the essence of this moment, and trivialized drakes words against kendrick as "we dont know." if you actually knew anything about kendrick lamar, then you would know that the claims that drake made are not true.
exactly 😂
Come on it’s just a video he can mess up on some things. It was still an overall great video to watch.
I don’t believe what Drake said about Kendrick is true at all either, but I think his point is that because Kendrick is so extremely private when it comes to his personal life outside of his music, we don’t really have any evidence of anything outside of Kendrick’s own word, which is kind of true. But given the fact that Drake doesn’t have any proof outside of an insta post is a strong indication he just made it all up.

Drake is not your savior. Kendrick is not your savior. Cheating on Whitney is no revelation because Kendrick talked about it extensively on Mr Morale, the album you mentioned which I don’t believe you actually listened to like all other drake fans. “A title he did not reject”, again clearly did not listen to DAMN or Mr Morale because Kendrick very clearly does not want the title of Hip Hop’s messiah. If you see him wearing the crown of thorns and think it’s literal, I’m sorry but you need to get better at critical thinking and analysis.
The average Canadian wage in 2001 was $28,000 Drake earned $50k. So drakes’s “suffering” was relative to the wealthy people in his area.

So what do you call Kendrick refusing to ever properly marry Whitney and keeping her engaged for years just to cheat on and manipulate her with white women due to a sex addiction? There’s a reason she’s raising the kids alone.
@leultrainstinct406 He lost bro. Let it go😂
Right
@@leultrainstinct406That's between two consenting adults. So if you have a problem with that, you MUST have a problem with how Drake makes moves on young women.
That's exactly
Something a narcissist would say. 😬
Kendrick torn himself, his demons and moral ideals on his Mr Morale/Steppers EP. Everyone who isn't familiar with Kendrick's albums and work are the ones not understanding why Drake lost badly. Especially his fans.
Imagine dissing someone on something he ALREADY talked about years ago...makes no sense but somehow ppl act as if Drake diss was "hard" just repeating all he heard from Mr Morals...."trying to lie on the family front because you heard Mr Morals"
I dont get Kenderick doesnt just project an upright moral person but someone who tries to be and struggles with his demons and vices... We dont think he is perfect but rather very human.
I will NEVER understand how drake took the control verse personally….
Manz got to work on his emotional intelligence.
This.
@@TexasChick45it’s like he literally brought all this on himself…..because he crosses the line EVERY single time in a battle. Then tries to gaslight the situation..like an oxymoron….like what did you expect would happen?!
Honestly
@@messifcb101 He did bring all of this onto himself! I think he thought he'd just skate outta this like he did that Pusha T. situation. I still don't know how he got outta that one. I honestly think Terrance might've gotten threatened to back off.
Narcissism. And I mean of the deep, clinical variety. Ironically, this is also the key to his success.
this is giving rap murder mystery vibes and im here for it
hell yea
It’s metaphorical Murder 🤣

@@plsreactto7852to the average joe its relationship destroying may even be life ending . Yet to the 1% it's your average sunday
@@plsreactto7852 unfortunately the things a lot of celebrities are being accused of and proven to have done nowadays is a lot worse in comparison they’re not saying it’s not bad
Bruh i was thinking the same shi
19:48 “Its not like anything drake has done is outside the bounds of whats expected of a typical celebrity. Dating inappropriately YOUNG WOMEN, paying off gangs, being a casual alchoholic and promoting gambling is pretty tame as far as things go” is the whole lil segment we’re talking about.
???? Mans is hella downplaying some crazy stuff, ESPECIALLY the dating inappropriately underage women part.
Even if it is ‘typical’ for a celebrity (it really isnt), its still insane especially for someone of Drake’s high-status position.
It also seems like he downplays the same typa thing (13:15) where he says “but none of this really lies beyond the realm of respectable behaviour in the entertainment industry. “ … “And none of what I said is UNUSUAL in context”
For context, right before these sentences he talks about drake texting underage women (specifically Millie (at 14), and Kylie Jenner (at 16)) only to brush it off (at least to me) saying its not unusual (WHAT?).
All in all, amazing video, amazing narration, editing and storytelling but there were def some points missed, no hate.
I went back recently and re-listened to Story of Addidon, and man it's insane Drake survived that. Even past the child stuff, Pusha said a lot of the same things Kendrick said on Euphoria. Even just the combo of the single art and rapping over the beat from the Story of OJ is incredibly biting commentary.
Right! I always thought the hiding a kid thing was the least scathing part. I could see the dissection of him as a person bothering him much more. Any other artist/time and that’s a career ending diss
I think it's because Pusha T isn't as big as kendrick, So a lot of people who don't listen to rap like that just didn't really care or know
cuz 1- Pusha is like 10% as mainstream as Kendrick so Drake could easily ignore him and play the bigger artist card , 2- as great as that diss it just didn't have that much replay value, and 3- Drake dropped Scorpion immediately after the beef and that album had multiple smash hits that saved him and then Sicko Mode dropped that same summer and by that point everyone was back on Drake's side lol
Facts! What Pusha did to him was INSANE 😂 the kid part ain’t even half as rough as what he said about Drakes dad. Seriously the fact that Drake didn’t crash out after that was the ULTIMATE L
Why would ppl care lmao? Hiding a child from the public as a big celebrity is completely understandable.
Take Care is the best drake album cause most of it was written by The Weeknd
He wrote 5 songs. And one more song was completely written and performed by Kendrick on that album. 6 out 17 is more than a third.
🧢🧢🧢🧢
@cheng-tsohsieh9990 brotha the whole vibe was different from all the albums and a lot similar to weeknd's music in that era so i dont think so i need to tell you who he got to help him on that , he Gave him 5 SONGS means they were his songs and the most probably got made with his help
@@AjSinRag He wrote for 5, and kendrick did an interlude, dont be dishonest, you actingas if there an artist in this wortld who writes all their hooks, all their samples they perform and all their beats they make, or all the songs they have were their original idea... the weeknd is an executive producer and all 5 of the songs that were his, have a drake verse and weeknd vocals, this view point is weird.
@@otis3744 Kendrick can
I can’t believe people thought kendrick wouldn’t respond 😂
and i think you missed the mark about kendrick’s music solely being about taking the moral high ground. his entire last album was speaking on how he is a flawed person and that no one should be seen as a savior.
Weve been knowing kendrick cheated on Whitney this isn't news. He's talked about it in length
I feel like people didn't really listen to Mr morale or anything he was really saying
@kidfopo yall don't wanna hear me you just want to dance
This clown didn't listen to any deep song by Kendrick. His documentary speaks volumes.
@BJC-pk8cm I think it's good too but there's a few things that could've been corrected with closer listens to some songs
@@BJC-pk8cmI’ve been a fan of Kendrick since OD but I didn’t listen to Mr morales and I learned a decent bit of new info from this documentary.

I felt that 😅
All my neighbors were bumping not like us at max volume midnight 🔥🔥🔥
Am I the only one who knows Kendrick didn't say neighbor? Or is this deliberate for TH-cam purposes?

“R&B and Pop Rap.” That sums him up. He’s got a huge audience due to his pop sensibilities and bc of that he sells records and tickets. And that’s alright. The issue that arose was, should that person also be referred to as the G.O.A.T. in hip hop seemingly bc he’s outselling his contemporaries? Because if we’re gauging the GOAT on skills and content…we need to have a conversation here.
People act like writing a hook is easier than writing some "lyrical spiritual miracles" -- but it's actually the reverse-- a good hook is what a good poem is-- it clings to the memory so intuitively that it becomes a part of one's natural vocabulary. William Blake wrote hooks
@@dwaydethree That part. Knowing what catches you in a hook is easy to identify but writing actual hook yourself seems boundless, because of the key fact it needs to still stay simple. At least with writing bars you can spread your wings more with how you frame any said verse.
@dwaydethree who is writing his lyrics, let alone hooks, though? I know ghostwriting gets a pass from people nowadays, but that sh is wack and always will be, imo.
Drake raps better than all 85℅ of the rap industry. And is versatile. Why we acting like drake doesn't have skills. His able to switch genres and he hits gold every time. That's GOAT. Kendrick a better rapper l accept that but Drake's a better musician/artist.
@@XSAVAGbut he’s not though. He’s literally an actor, to call him the greatest is an insult to every truly GREAT artist that ever lived. What makes greatness is doing it all, not having a team to make it *appear* as though you’re doing it all. THAT’S the difference.
Why wasn't "Taylor made" mentioned. I hate the fact that people like to skip over the disrespect of using Pac's voice and the fact that Drake told Kendrick to rap about the young girls he like. It was also Drake that mentioned Kendrick's wife first.

The irony of Drake saying Kendricks control verse was only a "moment" that no one listens to anymore. That's just about Drakes entire discography, mass produced mediocre songs that almost never stand that test of time. While Kendrick has multiple timeless albums and to me even his OP and ED mixtapes are timeless.

KENDRICK IS LIVING WITH WHITNEY, UZI AND ENOCH IN NY. That's his Woman and children btw. You don't know anything about KDOT. You clearly don't listen to his albums. Especially Mr.Morale.
It was clear when he showed that he listen to Drake a lot. But as himself admited, he is white and 70% of rap fans are just like him. They don't care about concious rap or the culture. He went light on Drake like what Kendrick accused him of didn't have any online track or evidence, while he went hard on Kendrick based only on what Drake said in the songs, with zero evidence.
Kendrick is also just self-aware, Drake is so unbelievably not self-aware at all. Kendrick is always honest with what he's going through, struggling with, seeing, his sins, his successes, his growth, etc.
I don't know dick about Drake other than he's rich and braggadocios and thinks he's somehow "that guy" from every angle
He used to be pretty self aware imo even if he was never a conscious rapper
I didn’t know “ the bottom “ was a nice Jewish neighborhood

Thank the Lord
If Drake had respected the culture and how skilled kendrick is, he would have seen what euphoria was, and there was no option to respond to someone so masterful and rooted in his craft "this is a friendly fade, if you keep it that way" but alas, kendrick shot him with the truth serum, and drake was humiliated
People are soooo easily influenced by celebrities, pop culture, and groupthink its actually terrifying
Drake was being Drake when So Far Gone and Thank Me Later hit the radio. Once Take Care and Nothing Was The Same came out, he was making sense. He was being himself at least musically. Paris Morton Music is a song I listen to that brings me back in time. That’s what Drake was so good at one point in his career. He was good at making music that made you remember old times. I wish he had just stayed with that. Because in my opinion, that’s what made him special. But he’s so far gone now (No pun intended) that he doesn’t have that same effect anymore. Everything is dead. Dry. Bland, and very shallow. If only he went back to that sound before heading too deep into this fake ass gangsta made man persona. Smh.
Majority of the tracks on Take Care was written by The Weeknd, Drake almost stole those track to put it on his album. That's why Weeknd didn't sigh with OVO. He knew he had talent to be a start himself insted of a ghost writer.
@@Luiz-w5s??? the weeknd only wrote 4 songs and was offered to him not stolen 😂😂😂 4/20 songs too

And maybe all was written by ghost writers
I mean yea he’s a pop rapper obv obviously but he never stopped rapping lol, all the scary hours projects are rap, scorpion was half rap, dark lane demo tapes, her loss. Whether you like em or not is your taste but 🤷🏾♂️

Analysis of Kendrick was wack, dont think the writers heard Mr. Morale
he and his team took the benefits of being light-skinned and half-white and played many cultures in which if you didn't know his race he could have EASILY been distinguished with. It's a play on psychology. Think about it, if he were DARSKINNED he wouldn't be as famous. Super dark skinned people arent famous like that....he took advantage of the subliminal colorism across many cultures.

Drake is mentally a teenager, this isn't hard to understand. He actually acts like a teenager to me, he's not and he must be held accountable for whatever he's guilty of
Exactly. A lot of adults are stuck in the year where they were triggered the most growing up. It takes work to break through it
He's absolutely stuck in his teen years, but he's a grown ssa man. Hopefully this triggers him to get some help, do better, and be a better role model for all his followers
Lol he never started at the bottom he doesn't even know what the bottom looks like
Or most importantly, feels like
if hes from the bottom the rest of us from what? the gutter??? hell???
Ive been saying this from time. Drake is an actor, he's been playing the role that'll benefit him.
You touched upon the Black Experience, the difference between Black and White Artist in a very honest balanced way as if you understood. This was very important to me and you gained my respect. Well done. I liked some of Drakes music because it did feed into my vices for the spaces in life that I found myself at but I wasn't huge on Drake and at the end of the day I need the artist that I follow to speak of my experience. Kendrick has done that.
I never understood why people loved him so much. His voice is whiny, and his whole persona is disingenuous. The industry pushes this man in our face, and even then, I never like him.
It's not about the Industry pushing him. It's about the people who actually buy his music. The Industry only provides what the customers are willing to consume.
@user-ki1vd3ti8j Well, he was really good in the beginning. It's after 2016 that things went downhill.
2 losses in a row in rap battles, his last 4 albums trash, no one in the industry who he thought were his homies not coming to his defense so now he has to try to make new friends half his age... I'd say are all signs of Drake falling off homie.
I watched all of this. Greating editing, story telling, summary of their history, and key takeaways. "Who you crown as the winner says a lot about who you are", that cuts deep.
Volksgeist putting out great content. Thank you
The day he died should've been when he wore black face, or when he said to Kdot "always acting like you trying to free the slaves". He's down with Hells Angels & sings a duet with Camilla Cubella, both known for being pro white. He grew up w a silver spoon in Canada, yet profits off being a rapper w ghost writers? Yet people against Kdot, for being original & true to his culture?
Since day one we’ve all known Drake is just an actor. You can’t deny he inspired a whole generation of rappers. He made some catchy music and people had fun. Kendrick is probably one of the best lyrical rappers of this generation. If he wanted to he could have marketed himself a little better and put out more music, he would have been that Goat but he was okay just chilling and putting out music when he felt like it.
Even the owl starting to look like it doesn't want to be associated with him.
