True story I went to pick my grandmother up from her senior citizen facility in Long Beach so she could come spend the weekend with my family. They were having a party, and when I walked in, all the seniors were singing and dancing to "They Not Like Us." Some were standing up, holding their walkers, and it was crazy. When my Gran-gran got in the car, I said "Gran-gran what you know about that song?" she said that's " K. Dot, " and she started saying,"They not like us, they not like us. " Tripped me out, no cap🧢
Rakim spoke big facts! He spoke what I and I'm quite sure others were thinking that Drake will pull the popularity votes over quality music against Kendrick but for people who understand real hip hop culture understand that it is quality and top tier skills over quantity and microwave raps all day.💯
Yeah, because the guy waited all his life to attack Drizzy while Drizzy was just making his records giving us his best product while Kendrick was keeping his best product stored. OK tough guy doesn’t prove anything I 3:52 do this to the young Drizzy lyrical assassin.
Wow 😳 In layman terms all hip-hop / “the culture” / African Americans are telling you in this historic rap battle is that you will not and are not going to take our shit AGAIN🤷🏽♂️. You took country, you stole rock roll, you profited from jazz & reggae. So please listen and enjoy and respect our music but you are NOT going to control, dictate or take this artistic masterpiece from “US” again … Is that too much to ask ???
Nuggas really be talking about Kendrick like he had anything to prove in any are. This man is one of biggest most critically acclaimed artist in the world. A literal Pulitzer Prize winner. Anybody doubting him doesn't know what a Pulitzer is. BTW, he's also had huge hit. Mainstream hits. He could sell as many records as Drake if he dropped a single, album, mixtape and collab every five minutes for 15 years straight. He's onr of the few artist that CAN go away for 6 yrs and still have people ready and waiting to give a shit. Put some respect on this man's legacy. Off the soapbox.
Common Sense is one of the GOAT Emcees but him saying this was the greatest rap beefs still has me puzzled. More importantly Drake is 1-5 in rap beefs. Lost to Luda, Common, Budden, Pusha, Kendrick. He's holding on to that Meek victory for dear life.
@@dwadeisthegoat2020 short lived he dissed Luda for his "like a parade/Macy's" said fab wouldn't even say no shit like that then apologized to fab and Luda. He always pop shit and apologize actually. He said Luda was biting his flow. Luda diss big Sean and Drake on bada boom in 2011
Man he ain’t lying everybody and their mama signing they not like us I even went to the Chinese store last night and the young Chinese guy was singing it I was ctfu
Kendrick had to dumb every song down in this beef so most people could catch atleast a few bars. These people out here so dumb all they know is little words thats why they like rappers who can't rap.

The culture is still dying. Kendrick came up battling his brothers and other crews. I think that aspect has disappeared. In Rakim's era, we all rhymed for fun. I knew about four or five djs. These days, the audience is just an audience.
Battle rap is still a big thing. Then there is drill rap. And people are bringing flows back. It has also gotten all over the world, and people are true to the foundation of the genre.
Yeah,, but how often do u walk up the block dudes making beats on stairway,, or making beats with their mouths,, and kids freestyling..not doing research to win a battle but sickest flow and rhymes win the cypher
The culture is alive & well. You're conflating the INDUSTRY with the PEOPLE. Im a hip-hop artist. I was born into this culture in the 70s. Our culture aint going nowhere!
Mainstream and Underground are needed. Obviously Kendrick hasn't been underground since Section .80 but a Conscious Artist with a large big fan base is rare these days. Rakim and Kool G Rap changed the rhyme game as did Slick Rick,Kane, KRS, LL long before we got the 90s GOATS (Pac, Nas, BIG, Funk Doc, Jigga, GFK)
It’s real hiphop (it is real hiphop ( you have arithmetic hiphop primary where Mc’s thrive” - old school notion of hiphop left-foot of hiphop ) Than ( you have melodic hiphop primary where lyricist thrive” - old school notion of hiphop right-foot of hiphop ) Weirdly right-foot melodic hiphop it would become the most popular form of hiphop ever taking over the mainstream (market) 🤷♂️ is what it is But both forms of hiphop go way back in hiphop history as real hiphop Drakes hiphop is just (more palatable 🍽 ) is all If Kendricks whole catalog was him displaying arithmetic hiphop and he made the billboards with that primarily alone …. Than I would lead the drake supporters mutiny to dethrone drake . But Kendrick didn’t do that . So here we are … his battle diss rap was amusing interesting , but wasn’t that for me
I mean yes Kendrick won this because not like us is the biggest song out but Drake also came hard but was outdone . Drake destroyed Meek Mille years ago who is supposed real hip hop . This is great for hip hop overall and every battle has a winner

When President Obama was asked if Kendrick and Drake got into a battle who will win. He said Drake was cool but Kendrick would definitely win.
Then Drake dissed Obama in one of his songs 😂😂 Drake is the lebron James of the music industry 😅😅😅
@@ashliM2990damn what a whiney little kid Drake is. So weak and easily offended 😂

I liked Kendrick from the very beginning!!!!!!! I watched his concert in Africa and made me wish I was there!!!!!
❤️🖤💚
I am stoked about Rakim and all the other OGs with music! Its f**king inspiring and am so proud!! Its all so good too

Drake represents the MUSIC INDUSTRY.
Kendrick represents THE CULTURE.

Rakim in my personal top 5 , I respect every word

I noticed the same thing. Dot knew what he was doing. He put his ego aside and tuned down his pen just so he could kill an owl. Respect.

Top 5 song this week? I’m leaning more towards top song this year or Top 3 or 5 diss songs ever.
Nice Video... could we get a video about what characters you would choose for a 30 roster MvC style Megaman game spanning every verse?
Thank you for the love and support. I will make a video of a 30 rapper roster MvC style. Please DM on IG to explain more about the topic.

And I thought this guy was going to be fair but instead, he’s a bias Kennard 😖 😭😭😭
It’s real hiphop (it is real hiphop
( you have arithmetic hiphop primary where Mc’s thrive” - old school notion of hiphop left-foot of hiphop )
Than
( you have melodic hiphop primary where lyricist thrive” - old school notion of hiphop right-foot of hiphop )
Weirdly right-foot melodic hiphop it would become the most popular form of hiphop ever taking over the mainstream (market) 🤷♂️ is what it is
But both forms of hiphop go way back in hiphop history as real hiphop
Drakes hiphop is just (more palatable 🍽 ) is all
If Kendricks whole catalog was him displaying arithmetic hiphop and he made the billboards with that primarily alone …. Than I would lead the drake supporters mutiny to dethrone drake .
But Kendrick didn’t do that .
So here we are … his battle diss rap was amusing interesting , but wasn’t that for me

I mean yes Kendrick won this because not like us is the biggest song out but Drake also came hard but was outdone . Drake destroyed Meek Mille years ago who is supposed real hip hop . This is great for hip hop overall and every battle has a winner
