It’s crazy the algorithm didn’t put this in my feed til now. I understand this take when this video dropped and I get it now. Kendrick has gained some power and can help push these other artists such as yourself to the masses. I think his mission was to use this battle to shine light on the flaws of the industry. I believe Kendrick gained a lot.
With all due respect... how is that? All races are making money off the drama. Again, respectfully asking? 🙏🏻 WE are ALL God's children regardless of race and culture. Praise our father God amen
@@BMOREBRIE274 That's easy. These two artists are both signed to a White Owned record labels. In this case they have signed contracts with Universal Group, which happens to be White owned.
What one song he dissed some people didint even say anything specific or names just labeled the whole industry got dirt on they feet. He usually does avoid drama and stupid beefs
Man of God you're a gem. Over the last couple of days I've been all into this beef and thoroughly enjoying it. Today I started feeling major conviction. The thought came to me, "that's crazy how I haven't been seeing stuff on Dee 1 as much as before this beef started". I typed in your name to the search box. I'm so glad you are still standing on truth and love and integrity. Thank you :)
Let me just say how happy I am to learn of your channel. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life in different stages without selling out.Please continue blessing others with your knowledge.❤❤
@@erneststewart5718 I dont presume that God will not, He most certainly will however I think sometimes we speak as if the world holds our standard or understands how God has called us to walk and that’s typically not the case because they don’t hold a relationship with God.
Thank you Dee1 for making this video! I needed this as I was getting pulled into that 'entertainment' too much and it was making me feel a certain way towards artists that I don't even know on a personal level and that's wrong. Platinum Pledge 2024! 🙏
I'm starting to believe when Kendrick shout out Dee-1 he was really saying he wished he was naive/simple as Dee-1. Based on this video, I can see the naivete in Dee-1 assessment of the beef. Kendrick telling Dee-1 for all the "woke" he is, he still doesn't understand God or himself. Kendrick has repeatedly said what this beef is about and why he had to go to "war". It's more spiritual than Dee-1 giving credit for. On Kendrick's side I don't see this as ego. Kendrick is more loyal for his love for God which drives his passion for hip hop going back to it authentic nature. He's literally fighting to save the very music Dee-1 makes. I could be wrong, but i feel he missed the point of the beef and that it was necessary to bring awareness to the industry mismanagement and disdain for such a powerful art form.
So thankful to see you still staying true and doing your thing Dee-1. I found out about you on some hip hop website like 20 years ago or close to it. You had that song 50, Weezy & Jay. I heard a couple things since that but always knew you were a dope MC with skills. CTG just brought you up on his podcast and I had to look you back up. Glad men like you are still in the game and pushing a positive narrative. I’m locked in my g, keep dropping dope content.
I found you through trying to figure out what was going on with Diddy and I am so glad I did. WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR YOU ARE!! You are ANOINTED BY THE MOST HIGH! YOU ARE HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I am a new supporter of you and your music. Much love and God bless!
Salute Dee1. I've been seeing similarly. 1.) Losing talent to 🥩 (Cole was smart.) 2.) Distraction...from what tho..💭 3.) "Be part of the change you want to see in the world. Respect bro, stay on for TMH, the south and growth mentality.
Bro what you mean, this ain't no normal beef just for fame or money, for Drake maybe, Kendrick is trying to spread the truth about the industry, just as you have done before, Kendrick always delivers a message, he is not just talking shit about Drake. I don't think that you have truly understand the meaning of Kendrick music if you think that he is encouraging violence or that he is not trying to spread the message of God.
You spoke the truth and nothing but the truth. Kendrick and drake are playing a very dangerous game once you start crossing personal lines and these guys are hitting way below the belt. We have people egging them on but if someone gets hurt those same fans gonna be crying.
Beef in Hip Hop has NEVER just been “friendly competition”… I can’t stand when people try to use that argument… it’s always been taken too far… J Cole was the wisest person in this situation… he won this war by choosing his peace… he’s truly the greatest artist out of the Big 3✊🏾
The devil is clearly still on the agenda to destroy mankind and keep them separate from the relationship they can have with Father God. Black on black hatred needs to stop period we're too rich a race to be like this 🙏🏾
No, you got it all wrong. Drake represents something else.This has nothing to do with black on black. It has everything to do with the true identity of God and Devil.
Right. B4 making the decision to follow anyone other than God, We are to ask God for discernment first, because we are to test spirits. You can’t believe everything you see and hear in these last days. I prayed this before following you to dee1. Music is powerful and if it’s not glorifying Jesus at the end of the day, it’s worthless. So be careful yall! Good talk…. 💪🏾💪🏾 Hard work and CONSISTENT effort are the keys to success!!
It’s funny to me when Drake was up two diss tracks and taunting Kendrick to come out and play everything was fine! Kendrick shows up like he wanted drop three on his head now everybody want peace sounded like J. Cole who made the right decision to get out of the way because he knew it was gonna get ugly! this is a rap battle. This is hip-hop culture. It’s always been this way. Once a rapper says something about another rapper family that’s it gloves come off. why is it so hard to tell the truth. Drake is the biggest hit maker in hip-hop /pop history but he also just got murdered by lyrical genius in this battle! Two things can exist at the same time👍
You missed the point, just like Drake. He is saying Drake is profitting of African American pain. He shows the world an image of black America because that it what he is imitating. He is not a part of black American culture, which he is not. Wayne told him not to do this, and he did it any way because of ego. He is trying to protect people who actually have to deal with every day that he does not because of his upbringing. Plus, his behavior toward children should be brought to light.
@@icecreamjones1 YES, I do not put one person over the good of the whole. I spent 18 months in Spain studying and people I met were surprised that I was not trapping but studying. The image portrayed by one of the biggest pop stars is that we are all womanizing roadmen. That is a hurtful persona to be labeled with when you leave this country. People do not see Drake as a bicultural Canadian rapper who grew up in the Jewish culture. They see him as the embodiment of African American culture. He is not from or a part of African American culture no more than my friend who moved from South Africa to The States and had to be educated on the history of the N word in America. To bring up the slave trade and wearing blackface is proof of his otherness. Lastly, Kenny does not see Drake as a goldy man and as a Christian, he is commanded to rebuke evil. To deal with evil you must first name it. K Dot has done this repeatedly during this rap battle.
As I listened to Dee-1 giving his retort I came to the same conclusion that he missed the point. I agree with you 💯. This was more than entertainment for Kendrick, this beef represented life and death..n the life of the youths and the death of an industry that has exploited us for too long.
Kendrick is calling out Drake on godly principles. Not completely, but that's no doubt a big driver behind what Kendrick is trying to do. Cut the evil out of the system.
Thanks for the level headed take man! But if some of the accusations being made are true, abuse needs to be brought to light and ended. Love what you're doing! God bless!
I was not aware that light skinned... dark skinned was even an issue. It seemed to be more about an individual who was raised culturally white in Canada coming to America and taking on an identity that he can't truly relate to. Wanye told him to be his authentic self and keep it Canadian... but he chose to a different path. Complexion wasn't the issue. It was more about a person not being able to identify with a Black American experience historically or present day pretending to be something he is not. He is not American. He also is not a gangster. He cannot identify with the nuances of being authentically a part of Black American culture. And in hip hop, there is room for him to be true to the culture he was raised in because he has talent. I don't listen to either one of those guys because it is secular music... but I do believe people should be who they really are. (That includes Rick Ross.) I will pray for all of these guys to find their identity in Christ. 🙏🏽
Also... you might be projecting a bit with the colorism. Kendrick makes a point to confirm Adonis is black. It's rhetorical. I don't agree with Kendricks point completely. But I understand exactly why he said it. And it definitely wasn't colorism. If you don't see the difference in their views, I gotta wonder if you listened to any of the words any of these guys said, or any of their personal values on display. I kinda thought your take would be... more substantial.
Either you’re not listening or not comprehending..…this beef is over godly principles. Kendrick is trying to expose the evil that’s goin on in the industry. Arguably the biggest star which is Drake, is promoting and living an evil lifestyle and has sadistic ppl on his payroll. Kendrick’s been letting us know in the diss records that this is deeper than rap. Come on dee1 I would expect you to pick up on it
Love that you spoke more clearer on this, my guy! A higher standard is great but doubt Kendrick and Drake are Chrisitans that's a whole different conversation. Too many that love hip hop for what rap battles represent too many will only love it for what it represents, not caring for the possible consequences. Pac and Biggie, Nipsey are enough to know how it could go down
Use your platform and try to bring them together. Be the mediator between the two and speak love to those brothers. Your platform is big. Let God use you as the light in hip hop. Invite those brothers to your platform to have a discussion and build the community up. Obviously there is some trauma that occurred. Heavy is the crown. He chose you for such a time like this. I hope you get the two together.
Couldn't of said it better. From time it's de-vide and conquer. No other culture bringing down a brother to get up. Crabs in a bucket mentality. If someone gets hurt, locked up, or finished as an artist. They lose. Everyone else will go on with their lives and look for new drama.
What’s annoying to me is this just seems like another divide/conquer tactic. Another distraction. People I know who dont even listen to rap were asking me about this bs lol .. smh 🤦🏽♀️
Man I just have so much love for @dee1 The integrity, the lessons, he is a teacher who continuously touches my heart and inspires me to be better each day and is a constant reminder to stay close to God 💖 I pray these men hear this and really think about making a shift because it has the potential to be a great lesson to the world on who men can be!!!
Great points about Rap beef being sort of lame and that the 'leaders' who could elevate the discussion are taking sides and fanning the flames. Kendrick did say sometimes you have to pop out. And seeing a person you find reprehensible claiming greatness in the rap game when you don't even think he belongs in the category, and you came up the hard way, I can see being pissed. Love the host offering a different perspective on this. Highly recommended. I wonder what the host thinks of Katt Williams saying it is all coming out in 2024. Scribes and pharisees? I see a through line of artists versus the industry or outsiders versus the establishment. Host has a great high level take. We all choose what we watch and think about and it has consequences.
We live in a constant eco system of trends, pride, beef and distractions. Being entertained has zero traction, just a stagnant stew of inaction. P.o.p.
I have never left a youtube comment before. And not “never” in the figurative sense. But literally! But I just wanted to say Professor Uno is one of the smartest men on earth!! But when he posted this video I was like giving the side eye because I love Drake and am here for the rap battle of two of the greatest of my time! I was like nah Dee-1 is trippin on this one! This is cool, this is fun. But just like he said it’s getting out of control! Drake’s OVO store got vandalized in London! People are being accused of crimes! J-Cole is looking real smart right now! Shoutout Professor Uno, I should have never doubted you. One of the wisest men of this generation! He really is UNO, none like him! Holla at me boo ❤😊 And he’s the first one I ever cold DMed too so I’m in it to win it! 😅I mean why not I have never met any godly man who is of the culture who truly stands on principles like this one. Keep inspiring us!!! 🎤🎤🙏🏿❤
Did u do a follow up? Cuz i feel like there were principals on the Kdot side. Id like to hear what you think about the economics of ADOS being replaced on every level of society…
I didn't even know they had a beef and was totally disappointed when I heard about it today....we need so much unity, this is the last thing we need for our people...Noone is looking, this is all another damn distraction...WAKE UP. ..I don't like people and they don't like me, think I care...NO I'M TOO BUSY...
Facts we lost 2 of the biggest rappers pac and biggie too the same stuff is true and we up here hyping it up as people like smh we as people are horrible I don’t even know why God wasted his time with us but thank him for showing grace and mercy every day for us because we need god badly
I honestly believe that this is a season where ppl’s hearts are being exposed. Christian or not. Healing is definitely needed. Especially in our community. Our heart posture matters to God. Hard hearts hinder communication with our Father. And this “beef” is evidence of that. Both of these men are gifted, but they’ve scored hundreds of points for the wrong team. They’re unknowingly using their gifts to be a slave to sin. Nothing about this beef is fruitful. And I stand by your message 💯% Fans have to come out of the zombie state of mind. We have to wake up and realize what we’re feeding our spirits. Our souls are too precious to God to continue to destroy them with darkness. Also, the Bible talks about Unforgiveness, & how our father in Heaven won’t forgive us unless we forgive others. Unforgiveness literally blocks our blessings. These men are literally the weapons formed against themselves. And it’s disheartening to say the least.
I try to move like GOD is watching my every step. God knows I try my best to live as righteous as possible. That's not too hard 4 me bc I already have an empathetic heart. Which can be taking advantage of, BUT GOD continues to bless me over and over. Trust in the Lord, ppl. I don't understand how ppl follow and believe in Satan but act as GOD doesn't exist. Heartbreaking. Really really Heartbreaking. You do have an empathetic heart Dee-1. That is a beautiful thing and u STAND AS A REAL MAN! NOTHING MORE RIGHTEOUS GOD LOVES TO SEE. PEACE & BLESSINGS
I totally agree with what you said in the beginning, rap beef is definitely "lame" and overrated, me personally I rather these rappers just make good music and unite with each other instead of this back and forth dissing, never liked rap beef since 50 and Ja rule went at it back in the day
I'm about five minutes in, and so far this is some false equivalence shit right here. These points would make sense if Aubrey wasn't on video kissing and feeling up on teenagers, and on record texting with teenage girls as a whole full grown ass, not in yo twenties no more MAN. Sometimes somebody gotta put in a little dirty work to get a predator tf up outta here.
We as Christians sometimes put ourselves on a pedestal! God calls on each individual to come. Matthew 23:8-10 The Message “Don't let people do that to you, put you on a pedestal like that. You all have a single Teacher, and you are all classmates. Don't set people up as experts over your life, letting them tell you what to do. Save that authority for God; let him tell you what to do.
Love that man. Cant lie, the "Beef" really entertained me...and when I think about it it's mostly because i love what kendrick stands for...which IS Not what he did in the battle. He stands for waaaaay more real shit and is able to have a huge Impact on People. So I love that Kendrick put People on to you. It's beautiful to see that you have an Impact on him. Thank you for your words, your work, and your energy, Brother.
Could you discuss the aspect of light skin versus dark skin in this situation? I've been closely following it. They've labeled Drake as a "white boy" and "colonizer" and suggested he shouldn't be allowed to use the N-word. Kendrick's song "They Not like us" further fueled the discussion. The racial divide was significant. Many black fans supported Kendrick, believing his victory was essential for the culture. It seemed like a widespread sentiment, as if there was a memo. It almost felt like they were trying to remove Drake from hip-hop, as if Kendrick winning would lead to Drake leaving the genre. Thank you
Your messages will be heard by the ones who want to hear Dee. And only a few will hear! We can't change this world, but your msgs can help individuals change their thinking and ultimately their actions to save themselves. It's up to the individual. Keep grinding young man❤
Now, it would be beautiful if they came together and put up funds to bring Music technology programs to some of our schools to encourage appreciation of the arts.
I hear what you’re saying and in most cases I would ride with you on this one. However, I think this whole thing is kind of going over your head (no disrespect). Drake is terrible, I repeat TERRIBLE for Hiphop and he needs to be put out because he’s too far gone no pun intended. He started off well and I can honestly say he was contributing to Hiphop but at some point I truly believe the industry and fame got a hold of him and he sold his soul. Listen to Buried Alive and you will know what side he chose. Nevertheless, good content, speak your voice always. Respect ✊🏾
It’s funny how this is one of the only genres…if not the only genre where the lyrics tend to turn into real violence. History repeats sadly because everyone thinks their neighbor is the issue….without looking in the mirror. Man’s really said he helps his sons think about what God wants…then proceeds to say he hates his brother and wants to ‘bleed’ him.
Kendrick knows you speak the truth that's why he shouted you out.
He's known Dee 1 before you or me even heard of the artist we know as "Kendrick Lamar" Kendrick and Dee 1 go wayyy back 💯
Who else got here after hearing kdot shout out Dee-1?
i want to be empathetic my heart like Dee-1
It’s crazy the algorithm didn’t put this in my feed til now. I understand this take when this video dropped and I get it now. Kendrick has gained some power and can help push these other artists such as yourself to the masses. I think his mission was to use this battle to shine light on the flaws of the industry.

Shout out to you for opening your mind. ❤
This is why I respect J.Cole so much. He knew this wasn't the way to move.
Still sell out
He's already dissed someone
What one song he dissed some people didint even say anything specific or names just labeled the whole industry got dirt on they feet. He usually does avoid drama and stupid beefs
That's not why he stopped
@issavibez394 lol you just said that about kendrick 😂 So lemme guess, Drake is the only one that (didn't sell out) 😂😂😂

He still sell out
Never been friendly that’s why so many is dead has died behind dis Cancel Culture

I think Keny want people to think exactly like you say but they first need to be dehypnotized and learn to see the right way for the culture
First time here and loving the content❤
So sad that this kind of beef is still a part of our culture. 😮
If we want the mindset of hip-hop to change this definitely has to happen there is never a shift without a battle
This isn't Hip Hop anymore. This is black on black Willie Lynch bs
Use your platform and try to bring them together. Be the mediator between the two and speak love to those brothers. Your platform is big. Let God use you as the light in hip hop. Invite those brothers to your platform to have a discussion and build the community up. Obviously there is some trauma that occurred. Heavy is the crown. He chose you for such a time like this. I hope you get the two together.
Great video 🔥🙏🏾
Couldn't of said it better. From time it's de-vide and conquer. No other culture bringing down a brother to get up. Crabs in a bucket mentality.
If someone gets hurt, locked up, or finished as an artist. They lose. Everyone else will go on with their lives and look for new drama.
What’s annoying to me is this just seems like another divide/conquer tactic. Another distraction. People I know who dont even listen to rap were asking me about this bs lol .. smh 🤦🏽♀️
People just need to grow up. Put away childish things. This is proof everyone doesn't get wise with age. Pretty sad.
Why are two men in their mid to late thirties having beef? I think that’s the question we need to ask ourselves.
Man I just have so much love for @dee1 The integrity, the lessons, he is a teacher who continuously touches my heart and inspires me to be better each day and is a constant reminder to stay close to God 💖 I pray these men hear this and really think about making a shift because it has the potential to be a great lesson to the world on who men can be!!!
You can’t see that this is not about rap beef. This has nothing to do with hip-hop. This is about that true identity of God and Devil..
U got a point Professor!!! 🤍💯🙏🏾
Speak!🗣
Tell’em Dee!!
Great points about Rap beef being sort of lame and that the 'leaders' who could elevate the discussion are taking sides and fanning the flames. Kendrick did say sometimes you have to pop out. And seeing a person you find reprehensible claiming greatness in the rap game when you don't even think he belongs in the category, and you came up the hard way, I can see being pissed. Love the host offering a different perspective on this. Highly recommended.
I wonder what the host thinks of Katt Williams saying it is all coming out in 2024. Scribes and pharisees? I see a through line of artists versus the industry or outsiders versus the establishment. Host has a great high level take. We all choose what we watch and think about and it has consequences.
We live in a constant eco system of trends, pride, beef and distractions. Being entertained has zero traction, just a stagnant stew of inaction.
P.o.p.
I have never left a youtube comment before. And not “never” in the figurative sense. But literally! But I just wanted to say Professor Uno is one of the smartest men on earth!! But when he posted this video I was like giving the side eye because I love Drake and am here for the rap battle of two of the greatest of my time! I was like nah Dee-1 is trippin on this one! This is cool, this is fun. But just like he said it’s getting out of control! Drake’s OVO store got vandalized in London! People are being accused of crimes! J-Cole is looking real smart right now! Shoutout Professor Uno, I should have never doubted you. One of the wisest men of this generation! He really is UNO, none like him! Holla at me boo ❤😊 And he’s the first one I ever cold DMed too so I’m in it to win it! 😅I mean why not I have never met any godly man who is of the culture who truly stands on principles like this one. Keep inspiring us!!! 🎤🎤🙏🏿❤
Oh, this is D 1 praise God. Nice 2 meet you brotha 🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾
Just finished listened to kendrick mention you!
DO U STILL BELIEVE THE STATEMENT “ THERE AINT NO GODLY PRINCIPLES AT THA CORE OF THIS BEEF “. I THINK U EVEN KNO NOW U WERE WRONG ON THAT
Did u do a follow up? Cuz i feel like there were principals on the Kdot side. Id like to hear what you think about the economics of ADOS being replaced on every level of society…
I didn't even know they had a beef and was totally disappointed when I heard about it today....we need so much unity, this is the last thing we need for our people...Noone is looking, this is all another damn distraction...WAKE UP. ..I don't like people and they don't like me, think I care...NO I'M TOO BUSY...
"This stuff ain't good." Thank you.
Facts we lost 2 of the biggest rappers pac and biggie too the same stuff is true and we up here hyping it up as people like smh we as people are horrible I don’t even know why God wasted his time with us but thank him for showing grace and mercy every day for us because we need god badly
Thank you brother I’ll admit I fell for it to a degree..
Dee1 shouts out from Memphis mane 💪🏽💯
Your album is 🔥, and you're right, no skips!
I honestly believe that this is a season where ppl’s hearts are being exposed.
Christian or not.
Healing is definitely needed. Especially in our community. Our heart posture matters to God. Hard hearts hinder communication with our Father. And this “beef” is evidence of that.
Both of these men are gifted, but they’ve scored hundreds of points for the wrong team. They’re unknowingly using their gifts to be a slave to sin. Nothing about this beef is fruitful.
And I stand by your message 💯%
Fans have to come out of the zombie state of mind. We have to wake up and realize what we’re feeding our spirits. Our souls are too precious to God to continue to destroy them with darkness.
Also, the Bible talks about Unforgiveness, & how our father in Heaven won’t forgive us unless we forgive others. Unforgiveness literally blocks our blessings. These men are literally the weapons formed against themselves. And it’s disheartening to say the least.
🙄understand comment 🆗🆒 but Sis...
It's hip hop tho.🥊🤭But Pray yet&still.🙏
Right on the money, could of exposed why... who.... for what reasons.... massive respect to you.
Amen, brudda. I am prayerful that they just apologize and we get that Drake, KDot, Dee-1 collab heater! ❤️🔥🥶
Bro said some real information and I love him for that
You're wrong. This is spiritual warfare. The devil is hard at work. And we as Gods chosen need to work even harder
Great Video you give great messages.
Happy belated birthday surgeon. 🎈🥳
U look fantastic 🤩
Happy about your success and advancement!
I try to move like GOD is watching my every step. God knows I try my best to live as righteous as possible. That's not too hard 4 me bc I already have an empathetic heart. Which can be taking advantage of, BUT GOD continues to bless me over and over. Trust in the Lord, ppl. I don't understand how ppl follow and believe in Satan but act as GOD doesn't exist. Heartbreaking. Really really Heartbreaking. You do have an empathetic heart Dee-1. That is a beautiful thing and u STAND AS A REAL MAN! NOTHING MORE RIGHTEOUS GOD LOVES TO SEE. PEACE & BLESSINGS
Way to remind them about peace and love over ego and evil
Amen bro, they need to grow up and stop being used by the enemy & industry❤
I totally agree with what you said in the beginning, rap beef is definitely "lame" and overrated, me personally I rather these rappers just make good music and unite with each other instead of this back and forth dissing, never liked rap beef since 50 and Ja rule went at it back in the day
Faxx ty for this bro
I'm about five minutes in, and so far this is some false equivalence shit right here.
These points would make sense if Aubrey wasn't on video kissing and feeling up on teenagers, and on record texting with teenage girls as a whole full grown ass, not in yo twenties no more MAN.
Sometimes somebody gotta put in a little dirty work to get a predator tf up outta here.
Good points Dee-1.
We as Christians sometimes put ourselves on a pedestal! God calls on each individual to come.
Matthew 23:8-10
The Message
“Don't let people do that to you, put you on a pedestal like that. You all have a single Teacher, and you are all classmates. Don't set people up as experts over your life, letting them tell you what to do. Save that authority for God; let him tell you what to do.
God bless you.
Love that man. Cant lie, the "Beef" really entertained me...and when I think about it it's mostly because i love what kendrick stands for...which IS Not what he did in the battle. He stands for waaaaay more real shit and is able to have a huge Impact on People. So I love that Kendrick put People on to you. It's beautiful to see that you have an Impact on him. Thank you for your words, your work, and your energy, Brother.
Could you discuss the aspect of light skin versus dark skin in this situation? I've been closely following it. They've labeled Drake as a "white boy" and "colonizer" and suggested he shouldn't be allowed to use the N-word. Kendrick's song "They Not like us" further fueled the discussion. The racial divide was significant. Many black fans supported Kendrick, believing his victory was essential for the culture. It seemed like a widespread sentiment, as if there was a memo. It almost felt like they were trying to remove Drake from hip-hop, as if Kendrick winning would lead to Drake leaving the genre.
Thank you
Hahaha, and this is why I love you. Word to the Upper Real OG
Your messages will be heard by the ones who want to hear Dee. And only a few will hear! We can't change this world, but your msgs can help individuals change their thinking and ultimately their actions to save themselves. It's up to the individual. Keep grinding young man❤
Now, it would be beautiful if they came together and put up funds to bring Music technology programs to some of our schools to encourage appreciation of the arts.
Let’s make a movement/ culture encouraging eachother in 🎶 🎧 🌊🎧
I hear what you’re saying and in most cases I would ride with you on this one. However, I think this whole thing is kind of going over your head (no disrespect). Drake is terrible, I repeat TERRIBLE for Hiphop and he needs to be put out because he’s too far gone no pun intended. He started off well and I can honestly say he was contributing to Hiphop but at some point I truly believe the industry and fame got a hold of him and he sold his soul. Listen to Buried Alive and you will know what side he chose. Nevertheless, good content, speak your voice always. Respect ✊🏾
It’s funny how this is one of the only genres…if not the only genre where the lyrics tend to turn into real violence. History repeats sadly because everyone thinks their neighbor is the issue….without looking in the mirror. Man’s really said he helps his sons think about what God wants…then proceeds to say he hates his brother and wants to ‘bleed’ him.
