What I can't understand is that people seem to have forgotten that Kendrick was on tour from June 2022 to March 2024... A GLOBAL TOUR. Y'all be acting like he just was hiding and wasn't doing anything...🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🙄 And also Kendrick is A more independent artist than most. He has his own record label and a distribution deal with umg. He can drop his offen or as rarely as he chooses to. The man prefers to live his life, heal himself and spend time with his family. That's what a real man does. 💯
Don’t forget Kendrick ghost writes for many artists both new and old, so there’s chances that Kendrick has made 4-5 albums worth of music in the past five years that are scattered across a bunch of other artists discographies that have already released or are yet to be released
This entire beef just really showed people have slept on Kendrick for a long time, especially on his Mr. Morale album. It’s insane how Drake stans still believe the sh*t he says just coz he twisted stories from his album. Kendrick predicted it in Euphoria with “Fabricating stories on the family front, coz you heard Mr. Morale.”
What his shit? He ain't the 90s all u wannabe 90 Rappers suck shit. Agleast drake pioneered the rnb industry what did kenny pioneer shit house 2000 rap? No thanks pop star
Kendrick been one of the greatest since Madd City I was bumping him since immaculate conception days and people called me corny but now everybody wanna recognize him. What's crazy is everything he says is the reason he's a antisocial extrovert. I been having a ball with this ish cause I knew he been great before the accolades
I never revisited Drake's HP6 for obvious reasons, but hearing him say "I hope you drop the west coast record" and Kendrick saying aight bet with GNX is priceless.
I swear Kendrick gave Drake everything he asked for. AI Pac said he needed to give an unquestionable defeat, and be a savior for the west. Drake asked for quintuple entendres that he wouldn't understand and then literally misunderstood the bars in hp6. Kendrick was like an evil genie that granted drake's wishes but in the worst ways and not as he intended 😂
The internet keeps saying that the Super Bowl of all things will expose NLU to a global audience. That's inherently wrong because the Super Bowl is largely only watched in the US. This is laughable because "Not Like Us" as a standalone track is so widespread, there are people in the Northern areas of my home country of Pakistan who've heard the track, local companies have used it in their ad campaigns, my own university performed it as part of an inter-university competition and WON it. Saying that the Super Bowl will have the world singing "A-minor" is diminutive when the world has been singing it for MONTHS. I know literal children at the age of 4 knowing nothing about the saga but singing the chorus of the track, which speaks to how much of a massive hit it was.
Yeah, but this could help get a bigger audience of white people, who are the ones who control the market, and could actually lead to the actual downfall of Drake if they stop listening to him
This. I assure you that almost no one here in Brazil even knows what the super bowl is, but I've heard NLU playing even in the mall from my town, which isnt even that big. The song is already bigger than we can even imagine
6:16 in LA was a warning for all of us and him asking for forgiveness for how far he about to take it for being pushed. He warned everyone and that shit got dark and I loved it
This dude sounds oddly familiar to What’s The Dirt….. without the Canadian cadence in speech…. Bro literally dismissed 6 16 in LA….. blatant dodge at the punch of that song…
Just a side note, Kendrick pays homage to the d-man when he says kind of messed him up for a while. I thought that was rather poignant. And of course he is echoing the demon when he goes through his hold I don't like the way you walk, I don't like the way you talk, that whole thing of what he doesn't like about Drake -- it's funny as heck and it was funny when DMX did it years ago when he said it in response to a question from Charlamagne on the breakfast show.
Kendrick played homage to the demand the importance of DMX to him when he said it took him a while to recover from the D- man's death. I'm Kendrick also plays homage to DMX when he repeats the rant about all the reasons he does not like Drake -- I don't like the way he talks I don't like the way he walks I don't like anything about him -- it was funny when DMX set it to Charlemagne on The breakfast club and as funny as heck when Kendrick repeats it. And more than a little poignant
27:31 you cannot just breeze pass video evidence of Drake lusting after a minor (after given full knowledge that this girl was a minor) and him saying out his own mouth that he is not ready to go to jail, yet Drake still kissed her. You're asking for evidence and then also minimizing the evidence in front of you. Somehow I got the feeling if that was your 17 year old daughter on stage that occasion would not be minimized. Smh
That part truly made no sense. Like what do people want, a 4K video of him doing something even more deplorable than what was already shown on stage with the 17 year old girl? Millie Bobby Brown’s firsthand account from her own mouth on video still isn’t enough? People get convicted off of circumstantial evidence every day B! Smh
True. So much of Drake's behavior with young women will get excused until that person has to answer for if it was their loved one. People want to see a video of him doing something illegal. That probably doesn't exist. However that doesn't mean his behavior wasn't at the very least inappropriate.
Y'all do understand that's it's not always illegal for an adult to have relations with a 16-17 year old,right? Depends on the location,(All of Canada,and even some parts of the USA. Drake was 24,(not the 37 year old of today,less of an age gap) at the time of that concert and more than likely knew the laws.
@longmarvin2025 I do understand what you're saying. But idk if I was her father or brother that the actual rules/laws are the thing that would determine whether or not I find his behavior inappropriate. It could be perfectly within the legal ramifications but nahhh he too grow for that is.
41:25 yeah you’re mistaken. Drake’s “Back to Back” was actually the first diss record to be nominated for a Grammy. Ironically, it actually lost to another Kendrick song
I hear a lot of people saying "what was Kendrick doing those years in therapy and why is he coming out aggressive?" - It shows how many people (men lets be real) have no concept of how much work and introspection it takes to mature emotionally to a degree that Kendrick has over the years. Therapy doesn't just make you "Mr. peace love and happiness" but rather guides you to understand your thoughts and feelings and where they come from. He understands himself on so much more of a deeper level than a greater majority of the hip-hop fan base, and Americans in general understand themselves. I think that's why he's so seemingly tuned out and nonchalant about pretty much any drama that happens within his sphere. He's not just a good artist because he has flow and lyrics. To me his intelligence both emotionally and intellectually outshines Hollywood in general. Idk, I think he's kind of a diamond in the rough out there in the LA world and most of us are making him out to be a God, when in reality he's just a dude that takes care of himself - unlike the people surrounded by him on similar levels of fame. But if he turns out to be God I'm cool with that.
Kendrick not doxing an 11 year old is "a misstep"?! Yall are wild if you think not revealing the identity of an 11 year old to win an online rap battle is an L.
He technically did, the girls name was eternity and a lot of fans missed the reference but he said “Love is eternity and trumps all pain”. I think we will never know if Drake has more kids cus he has NDAs, but there is a woman who has a child that looks just like Drake but she said she never spoke out because she had an NDA stating he pays X amount to her and she takes care of the kid. Kind of like an agreed child support.
@@SINYSTIRyou understand that anyone can date a non disclosure agreement right? It’s not exclusive to Drake. There’s also no proof that he actually has a daughter. Yall just believe anything.
@@grimmcreeper192 It's Drake though, I am sure there could be 2 daughters and he was concerned which one Kendrick was referring to.......he is known to hide such things until confrotations so don't be shocked in a year or two😂😂😂😂
You got more than a few things wrong, but not mentioning the significance of "The Pop Out" being on *"Juneteenth" (also my birthday)* is actually insulting😅
The daughter thing is not a baseless allegation he settled out of court with a woman and part of the conditions of the settlement was probably that she couldn't go to the public with that information there was reporting of him taking a DNA test for a court case. It's been mostly buried but yeah she would have been 11 at the time of the beef...
It’s completely baseless. If there’s no concrete proof or evidence then it is literally baseless. Baseless LITERALLY means “without foundation in fact”. So unless you have some facts that the test of the world doesn’t, then yes, it’s baseless
2:35 He didn't take a break. He was on a global tour for Mr Morale album from 2022 until Jan. 2024 49:26 wtf u talkin bout? Lol. Nip was born raised in LA. N His dads from ERITREA not Ethiopia. Those are 2 different countries. This video has too many mistakes to correct. Lol
I agree that it wasn’t a mistake. I wonder if K was hoping that D would cop to it and actually become a father to her like he did with Adonis. There is more than enough circumstantial evidence that Aubrey has at least one more child and it’s shameful if he does but is keeping them in the shadows. Time will tell
@@jesstiss222Right people actual found it hard to believe that Drake could have more children when the man didn’t even wanna claim Adonis publicly until Pusha T said something🤦🏾♀️He did it once he’s bound to do it again. It was alleged he was having so many one night stands that a women came out and said he spike the condom with hot sauce (of course she was in the wrong trynna insert it back in to have his baby, but the point is that Drake loves to sleep around at his big age and could have more than one kid)
Also. Reddit has a couple leads on potential children of Drake It is likely Drake has got a couple kids out there. There is no definitive proof that he doesn't have kids out there.
Drake: "you raise someone else kid ! 😂" *23 minutes* Kendrick : "you don't give a fuck about your own kid ! Let me raise him too ! 😑" The smartest move EVER.
I thought I was the ONLY one who caught the sheer “turn the tables on Drake” line. Even if one of Kendrick’s children belonged to Dave Free, that would make Kendrick is really darn good person, good father, and good friend and partner. Drake is suggesting that it’s a bad thing because all he cares about is someone exploiting women through sex and/or condemning women, period. Misogynist if ever there was one.
Idk why people keep saying the daughter thing was an L for Kendrick. Drake has multiple children that he hasn't claimed, but Kendrick wasn't about to Dox an 11 year old for a rap battle. It's only a matter of time until it is confirmed and revealed publicly.
Facts!!! It really IS just that simple. Dorks be like “Drake rebranded himself to get street credit” like that 💩 is a Mastercard that can buy you history and day ones on the street! You either grew up this way or nah! Drake gets a room full of 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

We know who the daughter is, but the mother and Drake have an agreement. They aren't going to confess to anything publicly just because of a diss track. And as a Kendrick fan, there is no reason for him to keep picking at that angle because it will only do more harm to an innocent kid than Drake, I don't think Kendrick actually wants that. He was very careful not to directly name her, he did it artistically.
U have no evidence touch grass. Either u love Kendrick (whom u never met) or u hate Drake (whom u never met) so much that u gon believe what ever is said about Drake. Doesn’t take anything away from Dot but this is straight up delusional.
@@EGTK001 Evidence Exists: Several of Kendricks camp have come out and said she exists, one of Kdot's closest friends said they had just been at her birthday party. They specifically said they didn't want to reveal her name becasue they didn't want her to get harassed. Pusha T later came out and said he knew about the daughter, but didn't mention her for the same reason. He thought the son was less at risk because he wasn't in the states. There are articles about Drake and a haitian bartender from a florida club having a baby, the age of the article matched up to the 11 year old that Kendrick mentioned. Also a tiktoker mentioned remembering clearly Drake calling into Big Tigga saying he just had a daughter and Tigger congratulating him. The ep has been scrubbed.... Also rumors that there is least ONE other boy.
@@EGTK001Just like there was no evidence of Adonis…. BUT THEN THERE WAS (Thanks to Pusha T)😲🤦🏾♀️Drake loves to sleep around plenty of women have said it and he technically admits it in his songs. He hid Adonis so who are you to assume he wouldn’t do it again and pay of the mother of his child🤔Do you know him personally?
Timestamp this. Kendrick WILL perform “NLU” @ The Super Bowl (the 🌎 will sing “A-Minorrrrrr in unison), Lil Wayne WILL make a cameo, Drake will go down for the senseless killing of XXX Tentacion, & Akademiks will go down as an accomplice by giving information on XXX to Drakes shooters. Mark my words……….2025 will be CRAZY!!!
@@nvpg100 "Talk about him likin' young girls, that's a gift from me" - Taylor Made Freestyle. Even if Drake is upset about being called a PDF file, he invited the accusation himself.
@ it wasn’t a coincidence that drake drops family matters then kendrick makes a song addressing drakes whole family. also when drake says “one of your kids is dave freeeeeeeeeees’ then kendrick says “why you trollin like a b aint you tired ? trying to strike a chord and it’s probably a minooooooooooooooor” theres replies all over the songs you just need to listen carefully
@@adomoadeus "You right about, “Fuck the big three,” it’s only Big D and there’s video proof" - Drake Family Matters "They be streamlinin' victims all inside of they home and callin' 'em tender Then leak videos of themselves to further push their agendas" - Kendrick Meet The Grahams "Dear Aubrey I know you probably thinkin' I wanted to crash your party But truthfully, I don't have a hatin' bone in my body This supposed to be a good exhibition within the game But you fucked up the moment you called out my family's name Why you had to stoop so low to discredit some decent people?" Also Meet The Grahams Verse 4 directly responds LOL fuck are you on about. Why would kendrick shit talk his whole family and say 'nu uh dave free didnt have my kid. nu uh i didnt hit my wife'
19:00 I disagree. Kendrick's move worked because it took attention away from Family Matters... whether it's true or not is irrelevant. He just wanted to shock the audience so much that we forget Drake had just dropped. It worked because we were asking ourselves about it the whole time
rap battles don't require proof of anything. I don't know where people in this generation got that. That's never been a thing. It's who's the better story teller, and who can throw the best dirt.
@@garyp2053This might be the most braindead thing ive read in a while. If you're going to accuse someone of being a pdf file, you need to provide solid proof or else everything that you said is invalid
A little bit of research and you will find the court documents and tweets from when the daughter was born. Aubrey has been playing the same game his entire career. Adonis and his mother fit the Aubrey’s mold perfectly. Adonis was supposed to be rolled out in an adidas deal.
oh man it's bigger than superbowl already. Every english speaking person who dables in hiphop even a bit already knows that song. And trust me most of us ain't watching superbowl , even of we'll do it's gon be for kendrick , not the other way around.
I’m an old head I got into hip-hop in the early 90s. I watched Ice Cube have his run, Dre and Snoop have theirs, 2pac, Biggie, Em, DMX, 50….. I’ve seen so many rappers have legendary runs and put out classic albums. I really say that just so it’s clear that it’s not like I started listening 10 years ago and I’m just caught up in the moment. I remember after Mr. morale and the big steppers came out everyone was kind of applauding Kendrick Lamar for putting out an album that he wanted to put out. He wasn’t doing that album for the numbers. It was just a piece of art that he felt strongly needed to be put out there. And he had earned that after giving us three classic albums . And I remember the way we were all talking about his career at that time and certain people were talking about. When was his prime and a lot of people would say maybe his best album was GKMC but his prime was DAMN. But we were all talking about it like he had had this great career and we’re expecting him to kind of do what all of the other greats have done. Maybe explore acting sure he’ll put out projects but he’ll never have the culture captivated like he did during that run, but that wasn’t a bad thing because it was a legendary run. The company Man , Justin Hunt had put out a video making the goat argument for Kendrick Lamar, and as an old head that has been sitting with artist like Tupac, Eminem and Ice Cube for decades, it kind of threw me off at first, but then he started breaking down the credentials. And there was an argument to definitely be made. I had to admit. But it’s crazy to think if you go back at that time after Mr. morale, that we had all thought he had a legendary career that made him one of the greats but none of us had any idea he had not even hit his prime yet. Kendrick Lamar has actually changed how somebody’s career can go. The story has been the same for almost every rapper that came before him. Yes, you do have big rappers like Eminem and Snoop Dogg that more than a decade after their prime can drop an album and it get certified platinum in the streaming era . And we can say it’s a good album, but it’s not like they were in their prime. Kendrick Lamar has achieve something that I’ve never seen any other rapper do and that’s to have a comeback that was bigger than his main run . And yes, once you get to that level, you do enter into the world of pop culture, but it’s different when pop crosses over to you versus an artist like Drake, who has never really been hip-hop and he’s just been doing it from the side the whole time. We have seen stars like Drake before. Michael Jackson, Madonna, if you’re not writing your own lyrics and you keep going through new songwriters every five years then yes you can have hit after hit after hit for 15 or 20 years, but it’s not authentic like Kendrick Lamar is .
@bdr113080 no disrespect brother. You speak facts But If you're a real hip hop head you gotta do what we call the timeline. You gotta go back and listen to every album East West North South Midwest by date of release. At that point you'll always appreciate the art and not the chart
@@liquidgoldjewels1846not every album. Just essentials. In the 80s and 90s most essentials weren't even major hits. 'Every album' is impossible. Plus anything before LL May be unnecessary since that was experiments with recording rap. By LL time it was defined. Of course you will have to select a few Flash, Furious 5 jams😅. But definitely NOT every album
Only a handful of rappers in hip-hop have high expectations and almost no peak or twilight. People always expect a consistent quality from them. Kendrick is one of that handful. People can't decide if Sec80, GKMC, TPAB or Morale is his peak. Hell even UU gets mentioned in the Stans😅. GNX is more of that sweet palette cleanser and long-time promise but it may grow to be a West coast classic or notable. The other rappers in this category are Pac, Jay, Tribe, Wu, Doom and a couple more...and to an extent Em. Meanwhile even Drake stans know he hasn't made anything great after Views. Most Kanye stans agree MBDTF was the end of his peak.
This guy who narrate this need to get his information clear, Jay-Z did not move himself and Roc-A-Fella records out the way for 50 Cent, that’s a lie, in February of 2003 Freeway dropped Philadelphia Freeway, that album was damn near a classic and sold well, then The Diplomats (Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Freaky Zeek) dropped the double album Diplomatic Immunity, which was a solid album, State Property with The Chain Gang Vol. 2, Juelz Santana “Heatmakerz” produced debut album From Me to U, Memphis Bleek with M.A.D.E., and then Jay-Z dropped one of the greatest hip hop albums of the decade, The Black Album, so Roc-A-Fella was still cooking, we have to stop with this rolling stone magazine AI revisionist history.
I kind of agree with you but Jay did go in the studio and basically tell them all that 50 was coming and they all better get their music out quick because when he drops it’s gonna be an earthquake. He heard early Get Rich or Die Trying tracks before the album dropped... Or at least that’s how the story goes.
@ when did he say this? Where’s the source? 50 Cent album came out in February of 2003, Roc-A-Fella artist had albums come out from February to December of 2003, so timeline and the alleged Jay-Z comment just doesn’t add up, I would like to know when did he say these words, this sounds like 3rd hand information 20 year old internet rumor
At the time 50 was probably gonna steal the spotlight from any other artist when 50 was really popping. I could see jay saying yo drop ur music before 50 cause he’s gonna take all the shine once he does
Enjoyed your breakdown! However, please note that KDOT never called Drake a pdf file, he implied that he might be, due to the fact of his seemingly liking younger females and that he associated with accused pdf files. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to go back and check KDOT's words.
Your perspective throughout 2025, one of hip-hop’s most defining years, deserves applause. While compromised journalists and self-proclaimed “hip-hop media” streamers delivered biased and lackluster coverage, your account stood out as a breath of fresh air. These videos are timeless bookmarks we’ll revisit in the years to come. Keep up the incredible work, and here’s to even greater success in the new year.

Hello Drake PR team complimenting this yt men culture vulture getting a check from your boss too. you're all a joke. after wtd (yt fragility is really a thing) crashing out and telling on himself, this f***ed up channel is next.
@@rapaholiczHeck, I need to donate too so you continue doing more on Hip Hop and not being compromised about ANY artists. We too see everything so we know when lies are made up or that person like Ak and WTD shift and are compromised.
clearly the 17 days we didn't hear from Kendrick after push ups was him prepping the whole battle, writing all tracks, gaining more facts + info from the ov-hoe mole, + celebrating his win before even 'winning' 'silent assassin' was the right thing to call him, a calculated genius
Thanks for fairly covering a historical moment that shook not only the world of Hip Hop but the world. I appreciate you for not degrading any artists but using factual sources. The only one missing is mention of that scathing ESPN interview where Aubrey was himself and displayed his vitriol hate and jealousy of Kendrick early on, back in 2013. His camp made them not air it but the ESPN correspondent talks about it on a TH-cam video. Never let anyone compromised you about ANY artists. Please do more videos because we are excited about 2025 for the shift we are seeing in Hip Hop.
Much love family thank you so much! Been a dream covering this battle and everything in 2024 for you guys - will only keep it going and get better in 2025. And yeah I remember we heard about that ESPN interview for years but they never said whether it was Kendrick or Drake talking crap. But once the battle started they revealed it was Drake. Crazy to think what would’ve happened if that ESPN interview aired way back in 2013….
MY OPINION is that Kendrick never lied. Drake has a daughter. Kendrick is just a moral man and does not want to get her involved anymore than he already has. He’s actually protecting her
Drake was about to renegotiate his deal and arrogantly thought, ‘I’ll be worth so much more if I can beat the guy that people think is the culture’. He got what he was looking for…
THIS!! He thought he would easily and quickly beat Kendrick, then go back to the deal table with UMG and get the biggest deal ever, plus his masters. Kendrick has been a thorn in his side throughout his career, always there, always outdoing him when it comes to respect.
@@superduper8795 so u telling me that him hearing that shit on a diss track aim at him and having people troll him with that line ain't have no effect on him?
Drake doesn’t get credit for the timely thing… it’s more of an internet prevalence thing. In that long period of time between Jay-Z/Nas and Drake/Kendrick, there has been a change to human interaction unlike any other in history… You can make a track available to the whole world the second you’re done writing in!
I want to think logically real quick. A dude who sleeps with everybody Gf/wife even his own mentor, and friends, so it's safe to say he has no control, do you honestly think he only has one Kid, In pretty sure he got a few out here lol
@neverbeganforme Stop glazer where's Drake anything new 🔥 ghostwriters gone Booth closed for hip hop. Go back to pop and watch what he says about K-DOT
Plus it's quite easy for him to shut up the baby momma from ever coming out with money and the power imbalance. The way he move around women i won't be surprised if he have more children than a daughter. These rich people are weirdos man.
it also works if Drake doesn't have a daughter. Like if Drake ever has a daughter in the future, she is going to hear MTG at some point. That is more diabolical than Drake actually having a secret daughter imo.
Right people live in a delusion world where they think it’s impossible for a rich man to hide a child. Push T exposed that he had Adonis what makes his fans think he wouldn’t do it again🤷🏽♀️He himself claims to sleep around a lot at his big age. And there was a controversy of a women who slept with him, she went to put the contents of his condom back up their and her cat was burning (alleged he tainted the sperm because he sleeps around that much) Of course if it’s true she was in the wrong, but a man that sleeps around with that many woman in every universe he’s bound to have a child for whatever reason (mistakes happen as they say😭
In your pre-2024 Kendrick breakdown, you completely failed to mention The Hillbillies and him and Keem performing at Camp Flog Gnaw. You said we hadn't heard from him between MM&TBS and early 2024, but that's just false.
What idiot culture vultures like Drake don't understand is that in order to be truly embraced by the culture, you have to truly embrace the culture yourself. You have to be for it and with it. The culture is the people. All Drake wanted was the fortune and fame he could get from sucking the life out of the genre. THE CULTURE IS THE PEOPLE, NOT THE GENRE. Aubrey don't care about nobody but his damn self so there's no way he could ever possibly be accepted and embraced by the people of hip hop culture. If he had truly wanted that, he would have followed Kanye and Kendrick's examples... Very simple to do but as a culture. Vulturing Foreigner his mindset is not geared towards the people, only toward himself... And that's why he is where he is now. And Kendrick is where he is now and Kanye will never be canceled no matter how crazy he acts❤
you mentioned kanye but kanye respects him more than he does kendrick? Whats the point of mentioning "culture" when kendrick has 0 influence or impact in it?
Kendrick hate everywhere us so forced now, people wil lbe like "Kendrick fans when they play the worst song youv ever heard" and then play the same 15 second snippet from GNX (song)
It’s not forced lol. Just cause the music has substance doesn’t mean it’s good. Kendrick’s last two albums are mediocre compared to his old work. It’s cool at best
He basically said that being a pdf file is worse, he's just saying Drake's allegations came out first and those allegations could still be career damaging.
It’s funny with the Drake video saying he lost respect to Kendrick Lamar for being nice and friendly instead of fuck you I’m better than you type shit 😂 because of the control verse 😂 😂 and this is your goat. Kendrick didn’t come out strictly disrespecting who he mention in the song
Because why diss me and say fuxk me. When were cool ? That's why he said he lost respect for the verse because what you was spitting you wasn't even truly feeling at that time. Which is a real thing to say rather yall hate it or not drake said the right thing tbh 🤷
@903sJace WRONG..Aubrey was the only one deep in his feelings.. Kendrick shouted out the people he respected at the time.. It was actually a compliment the folks they didn't get named should've been offended
@@903sJaceur just repeating wat Drake said n u never heard the verse. Lol. In the verse he said they're his homeboys but this hip hop n they should knw wat time it is before calling out their names. Only one who didn't knw wat time it was...was Aubrey. Lol. N right after naming em all he says he has LOVE for all of em.
13:10 Wait did you say he waited 17 days to reply to Drake with Euphoria? Oh ok so this #17 is definitely intentional at this point. And its not about minors like yall think. Kenny rlly tryna get that lick back for a certain someone. 😮💨
I been listening to rap and hip hop since the early 90’s and I tell you this moment in music history from Like That dropping to Not Like Us will be remembered for hundreds of years to come. Arguably the biggest music feud/war in North American history .
Why do these breakdowns always miss 6:16 in LA. The final warning that said, "hey Drake, I know what you're about to do, man. You have leaks in your camp. You don't want to do... what you're about to do." Then the dumb dummy drops Family Matters, forgoing all of the warnings and gets annihilated by Meet the Grahams and a second bomb dropped with Not Like Us.
one thing i want to touch on about kendrick vs. drakes allegations is the fact that drake’s allegations about Kendrick conflicted with nearly everything kendrick publicly stands for, which WOULD have been a slam dunk if drake had any proof at all. but as opposed to kendrick’s accusations at drake, in the public’s eye, almost everything dropped on him is in drake’s character. Drake has acted in such a way to where we can BELIEVE a lot of what Kendrick had to say about him if it wasn’t already proven or agreed upon within the culture
My thoughts on the daughter verse for MTG is that Kendrick was using Drake as a vehicle for calling out all the people that have stepped out entirely of their kids' lives. It felt more like an open letter to the listener, intended to speak to those who have been left behind by people like Drake that prioritize fame and status over taking care of their families.
@@twitchywitchx how so? what he said wasnt completely innaccurate. a song can be interpreted in different ways and mean different things. whats the issue mr "kendrick fan"?
The daughter verse is definitely not a misstep.... This is a rap beef, not a court of law, NOTHING has to be proven, all that matters is what's believable to the public.
Not to add to the conspiracy theories, but Prince has a song titled “17 Days (the rain will come down, then u will have 2 choose. If u believe, look 2 the dawn and u shall never lose.)”
Honestly? I don’t get what everyone sees in J Cole. I’m a huge rap fan personally but I can think 💭 of several artists I find way more talented. Than him.. even in modern day rap.
Kendrick really moved strategic asf the whole battle he was on some guerilla warfare stuff. He def was using certain laws of power to cause making Cole apologize without a response wild. Made Cole rethink life and his peace in it 😂
Let me hold your hand while I tell you this. Meek Mill was never a rap titan. He's just a rapper who had some hot songs and was popping for a minute. That's it. That is all.
How do people forget the video of drake and an underage fan on stage and he kisses her while saying some wild shit. Like that right there is proof enough for me
Stooping to a lower level than your opponent is literally the ultimate goal of a rap battle. It's the final boss. A rap battle isn't a productive discord over a cup of tea.
While a few of the statements made in this video have skewed some facts... by the end of it, I had no idea a whole ass hour went by. What a fantastic summary of the entire Drake/Kenny beef. To narrate an entire showcase like this, and keep the listener engaged the whole time, speaks volumes on your abilities. How tf do you illustrate nostalgia on an event that happened just 6 months ago?? Big props, my man.
I think it's absolutely insane that people consider 2022 to 2024 a long wait. I could've waited another couple years if it meant KDot was gonna drop quality. He did it in half the time I was expecting but still. Idk, as a music fan who listens to and follows a lot of rock, hardcore, and heavy metal bands, I'm used to waiting a long time. Because bands tend not to have 30 producers all making thousands of beats for them to simply choose from.
For real. I love Gorillaz. Between their most famous albums, "Demon Days" and "Plastic Beach" there was a gap of 5 years. And between "The Fall" and "Humanz" there is 6 years. 2 years is not that long, people are just used to instant content.
I agree, and I wish it had. But Dr Dre's heinous crimes happened in an era when people were still justifying the rape of a woman on the woman wearing a fitted pair of denim jeans.
What I love about meet the grahams is that it’s played in A-minor (all those keys on a piano are in fact white ) just layers and layers to this man’s writing fr fr
There is a number of things to suggest drake could be a PDF file, there are too many strange interactions with teenage girls. People are confusing PDF file and sex offender. Kendrick never accused Drake of committing any offense against a minor, he just suggested he was attracted to them which by definition is what a PDF file is, regardless of whether they have violated anyone.
What I can't understand is that people seem to have forgotten that Kendrick was on tour from June 2022 to March 2024... A GLOBAL TOUR. Y'all be acting like he just was hiding and wasn't doing anything...🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🙄
And also Kendrick is A more independent artist than most. He has his own record label and a distribution deal with umg. He can drop his offen or as rarely as he chooses to. The man prefers to live his life, heal himself and spend time with his family. That's what a real man does. 💯
Thank youuuu‼️💯💯💯🙌🏾🙌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Don’t forget Kendrick ghost writes for many artists both new and old, so there’s chances that Kendrick has made 4-5 albums worth of music in the past five years that are scattered across a bunch of other artists discographies that have already released or are yet to be released
fr the shows in scotland sold out in minutes
@@RealogOnlyBrodie who does he write for?
Bro had 1 show in 2024😂😂😂 the tour ended the year before but he was still booked for festivals. Just stop
This entire beef just really showed people have slept on Kendrick for a long time, especially on his Mr. Morale album. It’s insane how Drake stans still believe the sh*t he says just coz he twisted stories from his album. Kendrick predicted it in Euphoria with “Fabricating stories on the family front, coz you heard Mr. Morale.”
What his shit? He ain't the 90s all u wannabe 90 Rappers suck shit. Agleast drake pioneered the rnb industry what did kenny pioneer shit house 2000 rap? No thanks pop star
Kendrick been one of the greatest since Madd City I was bumping him since immaculate conception days and people called me corny but now everybody wanna recognize him. What's crazy is everything he says is the reason he's a antisocial extrovert. I been having a ball with this ish cause I knew he been great before the accolades
Drake made Kendrick the top pop artist of 2024. Drake undefeated

I never revisited Drake's HP6 for obvious reasons, but hearing him say "I hope you drop the west coast record" and Kendrick saying aight bet with GNX is priceless.
Lmao 😂
I swear Kendrick gave Drake everything he asked for. AI Pac said he needed to give an unquestionable defeat, and be a savior for the west. Drake asked for quintuple entendres that he wouldn't understand and then literally misunderstood the bars in hp6. Kendrick was like an evil genie that granted drake's wishes but in the worst ways and not as he intended 😂

The internet keeps saying that the Super Bowl of all things will expose NLU to a global audience. That's inherently wrong because the Super Bowl is largely only watched in the US. This is laughable because "Not Like Us" as a standalone track is so widespread, there are people in the Northern areas of my home country of Pakistan who've heard the track, local companies have used it in their ad campaigns, my own university performed it as part of an inter-university competition and WON it. Saying that the Super Bowl will have the world singing "A-minor" is diminutive when the world has been singing it for MONTHS. I know literal children at the age of 4 knowing nothing about the saga but singing the chorus of the track, which speaks to how much of a massive hit it was.
People in Korea and Japan where bopping to it. Same with the Caribbean and Latin America
Your comment speaks to drakes delusion. He really thinks it was just bots and no one likes/has listened to this song.🤦♀️
Yeah, but this could help get a bigger audience of white people, who are the ones who control the market, and could actually lead to the actual downfall of Drake if they stop listening to him
This. I assure you that almost no one here in Brazil even knows what the super bowl is, but I've heard NLU playing even in the mall from my town, which isnt even that big. The song is already bigger than we can even imagine
I was in Brazil they played it at a party and the whole place was singing word for word. Puerto Rico too lmao
Not mentioning 6:16 in LA is a shame. It's super introspective and really is a warning shot to Drake before Meet the Grahams.
6:16 in LA was a warning for all of us and him asking for forgiveness for how far he about to take it for being pushed. He warned everyone and that shit got dark and I loved it

DMX's one year run with 2 number one albums is underrated.
Yea and he did it with Scarface’s flow lol
Just a side note, Kendrick pays homage to the d-man when he says kind of messed him up for a while. I thought that was rather poignant. And of course he is echoing the demon when he goes through his hold I don't like the way you walk, I don't like the way you talk, that whole thing of what he doesn't like about Drake -- it's funny as heck and it was funny when DMX did it years ago when he said it in response to a question from Charlamagne on the breakfast show.
Kendrick played homage to the demand the importance of DMX to him when he said it took him a while to recover from the D- man's death. I'm Kendrick also plays homage to DMX when he repeats the rant about all the reasons he does not like Drake -- I don't like the way he talks I don't like the way he walks I don't like anything about him -- it was funny when DMX set it to Charlemagne on The breakfast club and as funny as heck when Kendrick repeats it. And more than a little poignant
DMX is sadly still slept on. RIP

27:31 you cannot just breeze pass video evidence of Drake lusting after a minor (after given full knowledge that this girl was a minor) and him saying out his own mouth that he is not ready to go to jail, yet Drake still kissed her. You're asking for evidence and then also minimizing the evidence in front of you. Somehow I got the feeling if that was your 17 year old daughter on stage that occasion would not be minimized. Smh
That part truly made no sense. Like what do people want, a 4K video of him doing something even more deplorable than what was already shown on stage with the 17 year old girl? Millie Bobby Brown’s firsthand account from her own mouth on video still isn’t enough? People get convicted off of circumstantial evidence every day B! Smh
True. So much of Drake's behavior with young women will get excused until that person has to answer for if it was their loved one. People want to see a video of him doing something illegal. That probably doesn't exist. However that doesn't mean his behavior wasn't at the very least inappropriate.
She didn't say anything @@iAquarius202
Y'all do understand that's it's not always illegal for an adult to have relations with a 16-17 year old,right? Depends on the location,(All of Canada,and even some parts of the USA. Drake was 24,(not the 37 year old of today,less of an age gap) at the time of that concert and more than likely knew the laws.
@longmarvin2025 I do understand what you're saying. But idk if I was her father or brother that the actual rules/laws are the thing that would determine whether or not I find his behavior inappropriate. It could be perfectly within the legal ramifications but nahhh he too grow for that is.

I hear a lot of people saying "what was Kendrick doing those years in therapy and why is he coming out aggressive?" - It shows how many people (men lets be real) have no concept of how much work and introspection it takes to mature emotionally to a degree that Kendrick has over the years. Therapy doesn't just make you "Mr. peace love and happiness" but rather guides you to understand your thoughts and feelings and where they come from. He understands himself on so much more of a deeper level than a greater majority of the hip-hop fan base, and Americans in general understand themselves. I think that's why he's so seemingly tuned out and nonchalant about pretty much any drama that happens within his sphere. He's not just a good artist because he has flow and lyrics. To me his intelligence both emotionally and intellectually outshines Hollywood in general. Idk, I think he's kind of a diamond in the rough out there in the LA world and most of us are making him out to be a God, when in reality he's just a dude that takes care of himself - unlike the people surrounded by him on similar levels of fame. But if he turns out to be God I'm cool with that.

He technically did, the girls name was eternity and a lot of fans missed the reference but he said “Love is eternity and trumps all pain”. I think we will never know if Drake has more kids cus he has NDAs, but there is a woman who has a child that looks just like Drake but she said she never spoke out because she had an NDA stating he pays X amount to her and she takes care of the kid.

The daughter thing is not a baseless allegation he settled out of court with a woman and part of the conditions of the settlement was probably that she couldn't go to the public with that information there was reporting of him taking a DNA test for a court case. It's been mostly buried but yeah she would have been 11 at the time of the beef...

@untilco oh really then why are there articles still up to this day
It’s completely baseless. If there’s no concrete proof or evidence then it is literally baseless. Baseless LITERALLY means “without foundation in fact”. So unless you have some facts that the test of the world doesn’t, then yes, it’s baseless

Playing with propaganda it'll blow up on you -6:16 Kendrick.
I agree that it wasn’t a mistake. I wonder if K was hoping that D would cop to it and actually become a father to her like he did with Adonis. There is more than enough circumstantial evidence that Aubrey has at least one more child and it’s shameful if he does but is keeping them in the shadows. Time will tell
@@jesstiss222Right people actual found it hard to believe that Drake could have more children when the man didn’t even wanna claim Adonis publicly until Pusha T said something🤦🏾♀️He did it once he’s bound to do it again. It was alleged he was having so many one night stands that a women came out and said he spike the condom with hot sauce (of course she was in the wrong trynna insert it back in to have his baby, but the point is that Drake loves to sleep around at his big age and could have more than one kid)
It definately wasn't a misstep. It didn't matter if it was true or not, everyone believed it because its not the first time Drake hid a child
Also. Reddit has a couple leads on potential children of Drake
It is likely Drake has got a couple kids out there.
There is no definitive proof that he doesn't have kids out there.
Why does everyone skip 6:16 in LA that sht was 🔥
Cause it was kinda trash.
Maybe because you can’t purchase it.

Drake: "you raise someone else kid ! 😂"
*23 minutes*
Kendrick : "you don't give a fuck about your own kid ! Let me raise him too ! 😑"
The smartest move EVER.
I thought I was the ONLY one who caught the sheer “turn the tables on Drake” line. Even if one of Kendrick’s children belonged to Dave Free, that would make Kendrick is really darn good person, good father, and good friend and partner. Drake is suggesting that it’s a bad thing because all he cares about is someone exploiting women through sex and/or condemning women, period. Misogynist if ever there was one.
Kendrick was really busy in 2022 and 2023.
That's called "a world tour" (the highest grossing hip hop tour EVER for a solo artist).
Idk why people keep saying the daughter thing was an L for Kendrick. Drake has multiple children that he hasn't claimed, but Kendrick wasn't about to Dox an 11 year old for a rap battle. It's only a matter of time until it is confirmed and revealed publicly.

We know who the daughter is, but the mother and Drake have an agreement. They aren't going to confess to anything publicly just because of a diss track. And as a Kendrick fan, there is no reason for him to keep picking at that angle because it will only do more harm to an innocent kid than Drake, I don't think Kendrick actually wants that. He was very careful not to directly name her, he did it artistically.

Pusha T later came out and said he knew about the daughter, but didn't mention her for the same reason. He thought the son was less at risk because he wasn't in the states. There are articles about Drake and a haitian bartender from a florida club having a baby, the age of the article matched up to the 11 year old that Kendrick mentioned.

I’m an old head I got into hip-hop in the early 90s. I watched Ice Cube have his run, Dre and Snoop have theirs, 2pac, Biggie, Em, DMX, 50….. I’ve seen so many rappers have legendary runs and put out classic albums. I really say that just so it’s clear that it’s not like I started listening 10 years ago and I’m just caught up in the moment.
I remember after Mr. morale and the big steppers came out everyone was kind of applauding Kendrick Lamar for putting out an album that he wanted to put out. He wasn’t doing that album for the numbers. It was just a piece of art that he felt strongly needed to be put out there. And he had earned that after giving us three classic albums .
And I remember the way we were all talking about his career at that time and certain people were talking about. When was his prime and a lot of people would say maybe his best album was GKMC but his prime was DAMN.
But we were all talking about it like he had had this great career and we’re expecting him to kind of do what all of the other greats have done. Maybe explore acting sure he’ll put out projects but he’ll never have the culture captivated like he did during that run, but that wasn’t a bad thing because it was a legendary run.
The company Man , Justin Hunt had put out a video making the goat argument for Kendrick Lamar, and as an old head that has been sitting with artist like Tupac, Eminem and Ice Cube for decades, it kind of threw me off at first, but then he started breaking down the credentials.
And there was an argument to definitely be made. I had to admit. But it’s crazy to think if you go back at that time after Mr. morale, that we had all thought he had a legendary career that made him one of the greats but none of us had any idea he had not even hit his prime yet.
Kendrick Lamar has actually changed how somebody’s career can go. The story has been the same for almost every rapper that came before him.
Yes, you do have big rappers like Eminem and Snoop Dogg that more than a decade after their prime can drop an album and it get certified platinum in the streaming era . And we can say it’s a good album, but it’s not like they were in their prime.
Kendrick Lamar has achieve something that I’ve never seen any other rapper do and that’s to have a comeback that was bigger than his main run . And yes, once you get to that level, you do enter into the world of pop culture, but it’s different when pop crosses over to you versus an artist like Drake, who has never really been hip-hop and he’s just been doing it from the side the whole time.
We have seen stars like Drake before. Michael Jackson, Madonna, if you’re not writing your own lyrics and you keep going through new songwriters every five years then yes you can have hit after hit after hit for 15 or 20 years, but it’s not authentic like Kendrick Lamar is .

But definitely NOT every album
Only a handful of rappers in hip-hop have high expectations and almost no peak or twilight. People always expect a consistent quality from them. Kendrick is one of that handful. People can't decide if Sec80, GKMC, TPAB or Morale is his peak. Hell even UU gets mentioned in the Stans😅. GNX is more of that sweet palette cleanser and long-time promise but it may grow to be a West coast classic or notable.
The other rappers in this category are Pac, Jay, Tribe, Wu, Doom and a couple more...and to an extent Em.
Meanwhile even Drake stans know he hasn't made anything great after Views. Most Kanye stans agree MBDTF was the end of his peak.
This guy who narrate this need to get his information clear, Jay-Z did not move himself and Roc-A-Fella records out the way for 50 Cent, that’s a lie, in February of 2003 Freeway dropped Philadelphia Freeway, that album was damn near a classic and sold well, then The Diplomats (Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Freaky Zeek) dropped the double album Diplomatic Immunity, which was a solid album, State Property with The Chain Gang Vol. 2, Juelz Santana “Heatmakerz” produced debut album From Me to U, Memphis Bleek with M.A.D.E., and then Jay-Z dropped one of the greatest hip hop albums of the decade, The Black Album, so Roc-A-Fella was still cooking, we have to stop with this rolling stone magazine AI revisionist history.
I kind of agree with you but Jay did go in the studio and basically tell them all that 50 was coming and they all better get their music out quick because when he drops it’s gonna be an earthquake. He heard early Get Rich or Die Trying tracks before the album dropped... Or at least that’s how the story goes.
Go watch the old Jay-Z interview he did with breakfast club that's what he talking about
@ when did he say this? Where’s the source? 50 Cent album came out in February of 2003, Roc-A-Fella artist had albums come out from February to December of 2003, so timeline and the alleged Jay-Z comment just doesn’t add up, I would like to know when did he say these words, this sounds like 3rd hand information 20 year old internet rumor

Enjoyed your breakdown! However, please note that KDOT never called Drake a pdf file, he implied that he might be, due to the fact of his seemingly liking younger females and that he associated with accused pdf files. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to go back and check KDOT's words.
i meeeaaaaaannn... "certified pedophile" is pretty direct. i do agree tho no hate.
Certified lover boy (Drake), certified pdfs (his mans) 😂
Bruh....no he said certified pedophile.....Stop lying...
This comment right here is a clear indicator of bots. Trying to backtrack the narrative huh? 😆 Nahhhhh keep that same energy
Oh ok how about the cover of the song being drakes known place of residence with sex offender logos all over it ?

@@rapaholiczHeck, I need to donate too so you continue doing more on Hip Hop and not being compromised about ANY artists. We too see everything so we know when lies are made up or that person like Ak and WTD shift and are compromised.
clearly the 17 days we didn't hear from Kendrick after push ups was him prepping the whole battle, writing all tracks, gaining more facts + info from the ov-hoe mole, + celebrating his win before even 'winning'
'silent assassin' was the right thing to call him, a calculated genius
Or its a sign. He did 17 pushups in the NLU video and there was another odd 17 move. Right below legal consent

Thanks for fairly covering a historical moment that shook not only the world of Hip Hop but the world. I appreciate you for not degrading any artists but using factual sources. The only one missing is mention of that scathing ESPN interview where Aubrey was himself and displayed his vitriol hate and jealousy of Kendrick early on, back in 2013. His camp made them not air it but the ESPN correspondent talks about it on a TH-cam video. Never let anyone compromised you about ANY artists. Please do more videos because we are excited about 2025 for the shift we are seeing in Hip Hop.
Much love family thank you so much! Been a dream covering this battle and everything in 2024 for you guys - will only keep it going and get better in 2025. And yeah I remember we heard about that ESPN interview for years but they never said whether it was Kendrick or Drake talking crap. But once the battle started they revealed it was Drake. Crazy to think what would’ve happened if that ESPN interview aired way back in 2013….
As a Beyonce fan when I heard that verse on that song I knew it was up 😂... can't wait for him to make ppl more upset during the superbowl 😈
Right !!!😂😂😂
MY OPINION is that Kendrick never lied. Drake has a daughter. Kendrick is just a moral man and does not want to get her involved anymore than he already has. He’s actually protecting her
Bro what…. Lol
@ I started it off with my opinion…
You delusional
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.
@@Warh0l I prefer my glass half full…
Drake was NOT cappin.
Drake's disses are DEFINITELY going to age better than Kendrick's.
A lot of missing info in this project my dude…. Not mentioning 6 16, The Pop Out being significant to Juneteenth… etc…..
Drake was about to renegotiate his deal and arrogantly thought, ‘I’ll be worth so much more if I can beat the guy that people think is the culture’. He got what he was looking for…
As much as I always disliked Drake I never once thought he was as stupid as he proved himself to be SMH
THIS!! He thought he would easily and quickly beat Kendrick, then go back to the deal table with UMG and get the biggest deal ever, plus his masters. Kendrick has been a thorn in his side throughout his career, always there, always outdoing him when it comes to respect.
@@EANDM71 kendrick is both less respected and succesful
Was in sweden during the summer and they played that non stop especially in the club. Even had a afrobeat mix of Not like us🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Mexicans on my block had the Banda version of NLU…I just bout died of laughter but it was going hard with that “chik-a-chik” sound going!
8:20 than kendrick lamar made him cut his hair with one line " Is It ThE BrAiDs" 😂
Facts
people cant even change their hair without yall thinking someone else made him do it. he has changed his hairstyle multiple times

Not like us dropped on my birthday...may the 4th. It was the best gift given unintentionally.
The force was strong with Kendrick that day.
As a guy who was around for the Jay Z and Naz beef.... this one takes the cake
Facts
idk dick sucking lips was kinda wild
Nas, Kendrick, and Pac are legends. PAC would love them both fr
Absolutely
@@shinicejones1817 PAC didn't F with Nas. Maybe in his hold age that would have changed. Nas is awesome.
That line in savior made me cry! Kendrick out did himself with those emotional moments in Mr Morale
My favorite Kendrick album!!! No skips from beginning to end
Drake doesn’t get credit for the timely thing… it’s more of an internet prevalence thing. In that long period of time between Jay-Z/Nas and Drake/Kendrick, there has been a change to human interaction unlike any other in history… You can make a track available to the whole world the second you’re done writing in!
I want to think logically real quick. A dude who sleeps with everybody Gf/wife even his own mentor, and friends, so it's safe to say he has no control, do you honestly think he only has one Kid, In pretty sure he got a few out here lol
Drake never denied anything. He just sues instead of getting in studio. Because he can't with K-DOT 💯. Great content salute 🫡
He clearly responded on the heart pt 6
Drake the only one who responded to lyrics in the beef, Kendrick on the other hand released three prerecorded diss tracks, except Euphoria.
@neverbeganforme Stop glazer where's Drake anything new 🔥 ghostwriters gone Booth closed for hip hop. Go back to pop and watch what he says about K-DOT
@jfraz1992 the heart part 6 was garbage he was basically going on a rant the whole track my nigga
I think Drake has another daughter I know a lot of regular dudes with side babies… it’s a high chance Drake has another child.
Plus it's quite easy for him to shut up the baby momma from ever coming out with money and the power imbalance. The way he move around women i won't be surprised if he have more children than a daughter. These rich people are weirdos man.
it also works if Drake doesn't have a daughter. Like if Drake ever has a daughter in the future, she is going to hear MTG at some point. That is more diabolical than Drake actually having a secret daughter imo.
Right people live in a delusion world where they think it’s impossible for a rich man to hide a child. Push T exposed that he had Adonis what makes his fans think he wouldn’t do it again🤷🏽♀️He himself claims to sleep around a lot at his big age. And there was a controversy of a women who slept with him, she went to put the contents of his condom back up their and her cat was burning (alleged he tainted the sperm because he sleeps around that much) Of course if it’s true she was in the wrong, but a man that sleeps around with that many woman in every universe he’s bound to have a child for whatever reason (mistakes happen as they say😭
Like there 100% still are a few Drake babys out there lol
Drake probably has dozens of kids out there not just a single daughter.
In your pre-2024 Kendrick breakdown, you completely failed to mention The Hillbillies and him and Keem performing at Camp Flog Gnaw. You said we hadn't heard from him between MM&TBS and early 2024, but that's just false.
Yeah he is new to kendrick 🤣
In all my years of life, i’ve never seen a creature love another creature like Ak loves Drake
You’d think Drake was his son or some shit
It’s a shame that 6:16 in LA is always forgotten
50 had the best run.... and he was legit!
Kendrick is a goofball
Oh, and so is Drake, btw 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷♂️
There’s plenty of proof against Drake to back up what dot was saying. Y’all just choose to ignore it
The beginning there, you ain't have to do Cole like that. Kendrick was OBVIOUSLY not talking about Cole when he said "backhanded compliments". Wtf.
What idiot culture vultures like Drake don't understand is that in order to be truly embraced by the culture, you have to truly embrace the culture yourself. You have to be for it and with it. The culture is the people. All Drake wanted was the fortune and fame he could get from sucking the life out of the genre. THE CULTURE IS THE PEOPLE, NOT THE GENRE. Aubrey don't care about nobody but his damn self so there's no way he could ever possibly be accepted and embraced by the people of hip hop culture. If he had truly wanted that, he would have followed Kanye and Kendrick's examples... Very simple to do but as a culture. Vulturing Foreigner his mindset is not geared towards the people, only toward himself... And that's why he is where he is now. And Kendrick is where he is now and Kanye will never be canceled no matter how crazy he acts❤
you mentioned kanye but kanye respects him more than he does kendrick? Whats the point of mentioning "culture" when kendrick has 0 influence or impact in it?
Kendrick hate everywhere us so forced now, people wil lbe like "Kendrick fans when they play the worst song youv ever heard" and then play the same 15 second snippet from GNX (song)
Bro ong
“Like waaaaaaaaaaa” lol
That song ain't even bad
@@cinemachronic agreed. I personally didnt like gnx that much, but I wouldnt say theres a bad song in it, mediocre at worst
It’s not forced lol. Just cause the music has substance doesn’t mean it’s good. Kendrick’s last two albums are mediocre compared to his old work. It’s cool at best
And TV Off too. That's why he stamped the line of "Walking through New Orleans with the etiquette of LA yelling MUSTAAAAARD!;
17:21 , " 😐 . Dude. Stop. 1 'Pedal and file' is worse than 1,000 wife beaters. That is like saying car thieves are equal to murderers. 😐 .".
This is what I'm saying, is this dude a Canadian?
I swear I was think the exact same thing. It’s levels to certain situations. PDF file is much worst then being a Wife Beater.
@GGinthemorning hey wtf not all Canadians 😂
He basically said that being a pdf file is worse, he's just saying Drake's allegations came out first and those allegations could still be career damaging.
No love for 6:16 in LA though?? Two back to backs.
This video should be called “guy on internet stans Kendrick”
It’s funny with the Drake video saying he lost respect to Kendrick Lamar for being nice and friendly instead of fuck you I’m better than you type shit 😂 because of the control verse 😂 😂 and this is your goat. Kendrick didn’t come out strictly disrespecting who he mention in the song
Because why diss me and say fuxk me. When were cool ? That's why he said he lost respect for the verse because what you was spitting you wasn't even truly feeling at that time. Which is a real thing to say rather yall hate it or not drake said the right thing tbh 🤷
@903sJace WRONG..Aubrey was the only one deep in his feelings.. Kendrick shouted out the people he respected at the time.. It was actually a compliment the folks they didn't get named should've been offended
@@903sJace you dont understand and that is ok
It wasnt a diss it stsrts and ends there nobody mentioned took it as a diss but him @@903sJace
@@903sJaceur just repeating wat Drake said n u never heard the verse. Lol. In the verse he said they're his homeboys but this hip hop n they should knw wat time it is before calling out their names.

13:10 Wait did you say he waited 17 days to reply to Drake with Euphoria? Oh ok so this #17 is definitely intentional at this point. And its not about minors like yall think. Kenny rlly tryna get that lick back for a certain someone. 😮💨

Bro shoutout to YOU for the work you’ve been putting in. Highly informative and entertaining.
I been listening to rap and hip hop since the early 90’s and I tell you this moment in music history from Like That dropping to Not Like Us will be remembered for hundreds of years to come. Arguably the biggest music feud/war in North American history .
This has to be "What's the dirt" hiding behind this page. The voices are too similar 😂😂😂😂
lmao imagine if this is his side channel where he can be honest and the other channel where he takes money
I thought I was the only one
I wrote this on another video on this page and it got deleted..lol
Damm 😮, it is😅
Lol I had the same thought 😂😂😂
Why do these breakdowns always miss 6:16 in LA. The final warning that said, "hey Drake, I know what you're about to do, man. You have leaks in your camp. You don't want to do... what you're about to do." Then the dumb dummy drops Family Matters, forgoing all of the warnings and gets annihilated by Meet the Grahams and a second bomb dropped with Not Like Us.
Sometimes you gotta pop out and show ninjas. Quotables for days in that song.
but if u think about it, drake said he planted that information .. if HE planted the info HE LIED EITHER WAY !!
I don’t even see the point in lying. He lying either way, fs. It didn’t even make sense.
This what folks be missing, on meet the grahams he said "you lied bout your daughter HUH" like it was a question
8:46 I can only imagine how disgusting Aks mic is lol
Right 😂😂😂😂 all that slobbering is distasteful 💯
Halitosis and alcohol all over that thing 🤢
one thing i want to touch on about kendrick vs. drakes allegations is the fact that drake’s allegations about Kendrick conflicted with nearly everything kendrick publicly stands for, which WOULD have been a slam dunk if drake had any proof at all. but as opposed to kendrick’s accusations at drake, in the public’s eye, almost everything dropped on him is in drake’s character. Drake has acted in such a way to where we can BELIEVE a lot of what Kendrick had to say about him if it wasn’t already proven or agreed upon within the culture
My thoughts on the daughter verse for MTG is that Kendrick was using Drake as a vehicle for calling out all the people that have stepped out entirely of their kids' lives. It felt more like an open letter to the listener, intended to speak to those who have been left behind by people like Drake that prioritize fame and status over taking care of their families.
😆 Yall have absolutely lost it
@@Peacekeepa317 ima kendrick fan and yea, this aint it LOL
@@twitchywitchx how so? what he said wasnt completely innaccurate. a song can be interpreted in different ways and mean different things. whats the issue mr "kendrick fan"?
The daughter verse is definitely not a misstep.... This is a rap beef, not a court of law, NOTHING has to be proven, all that matters is what's believable to the public.
Credible facts gains more respect in the end
How did we skip 6:16 In LA?
That feud was crazy. Hip Hop's savior vs Rap pop's biggest hater. Dot not only flamed the Canadian PDF file, but checked the industry. 2024 was crazy.
It's really simple what happened to aubrey and why J Cole, Nipsey Hustle, and Mac Miller got love from the culture. They didn't lie.
i think in the first half of the video you forgot to mention 6:16 in LA
Not to add to the conspiracy theories, but Prince has a song titled “17 Days (the rain will come down, then u will have 2 choose. If u believe, look 2 the dawn and u shall never lose.)”
No, I like that reach, it’s a good one. It could be true, Dot is a big Prince fan.
😂😂😂😂
J cole best work is a light pack too
No it’s not
Nah, 2014 FHD slaps
I think that line was actually saying that Aubrey’s best work is a Lyt pack, though of course Daylyt keeps denying it 😉😉😉
Honestly? I don’t get what everyone sees in J Cole. I’m a huge rap fan personally but I can think 💭 of several artists I find way more talented. Than him.. even in modern day rap.
Kendrick really moved strategic asf the whole battle he was on some guerilla warfare stuff. He def was using certain laws of power to cause making Cole apologize without a response wild. Made Cole rethink life and his peace in it 😂
Let me hold your hand while I tell you this. Meek Mill was never a rap titan. He's just a rapper who had some hot songs and was popping for a minute. That's it. That is all.
Is this WTD burner account 🤔
Lol he does sound like him for real
@@jadicampbell2879 not a coincidence. That was my first
He sounds like him, white and Canadian…but he seems to love Dot.
@AriesGirl7719 Hmm. . WTD seemed to love Kendrick initially until he got paid to spread lies

How do people forget the video of drake and an underage fan on stage and he kisses her while saying some wild shit. Like that right there is proof enough for me
There actually is evidence that he has a daughter.
Why do yall still care if he has a daughter or not?

Stooping to a lower level than your opponent is literally the ultimate goal of a rap battle. It's the final boss. A rap battle isn't a productive discord over a cup of tea.
numbers don’t matter until it’s kendrick
While a few of the statements made in this video have skewed some facts... by the end of it, I had no idea a whole ass hour went by. What a fantastic summary of the entire Drake/Kenny beef. To narrate an entire showcase like this, and keep the listener engaged the whole time, speaks volumes on your abilities. How tf do you illustrate nostalgia on an event that happened just 6 months ago?? Big props, my man.
I think it's absolutely insane that people consider 2022 to 2024 a long wait. I could've waited another couple years if it meant KDot was gonna drop quality. He did it in half the time I was expecting but still. Idk, as a music fan who listens to and follows a lot of rock, hardcore, and heavy metal bands, I'm used to waiting a long time. Because bands tend not to have 30 producers all making thousands of beats for them to simply choose from.
For real. I love Gorillaz. Between their most famous albums, "Demon Days" and "Plastic Beach" there was a gap of 5 years. And between "The Fall" and "Humanz" there is 6 years. 2 years is not that long, people are just used to instant content.
He was also on one of the biggest Hip Hop tours in history. The commenter is forgetting that period for some reason.
16:47 didn’t ruin Dr Dre’s career
I agree, and I wish it had. But Dr Dre's heinous crimes happened in an era when people were still justifying the rape of a woman on the woman wearing a fitted pair of denim jeans.
Dre did his dirt in a completely different era. Look at Jonathan majors he did less and he fighting for his life
I remember when he dropped all 3 tracks, I watched all within the first 2 minutes. Didn't know what I was witnessing, good times. 😉

3:44 seconds in and this guy has shown a Drake level of misunderstanding. No need to watch further.
There is a number of things to suggest drake could be a PDF file, there are too many strange interactions with teenage girls. People are confusing PDF file and sex offender. Kendrick never accused Drake of committing any offense against a minor, he just suggested he was attracted to them which by definition is what a PDF file is, regardless of whether they have violated anyone.
yeah this proves this isnt about rapping. just allegations 😂
Yeah just how Drake is the alleged best rapper ^^ lmaoooo womp womp
so he cant double down on it cause he has no proof? 😂
