All my favorite rap commentators dropped the ball at the biggest time in rap..
RC....this is new contnet.......do this!!°
They say Cole touches your heart, Dot touches your soul, and Drake touches your kids

I fucking love how hard Drake was pushing this "what's taking so long, respond, where are you Kendrick" and then in Heart p6 he acts like Kendrick is a bully who won't stop attacking him.
It's so brutal calling it bullying is too soft, this is a warcrime.
Drake the guy who's always bringing up numbers for who is the best is now saying he doesn't care about them when Kendrick pulls ahead
This is what you call a CryBully moment.
Drake is yt woman
@@senitnelav in the words of Todd In The Shadows you "have a Drake body pillow you kiss at night."
I expected the thumbnail to just be a little joke. I was not prepared for the entire analysis to be structured as a Pokémon battle. Now this is PRIME TH-cam.
Right? I hope he does more like this
this. This video was 🔥
Drake tries to use the Heart Part 6! Drake is confused!
IT HURT ITSELF IN ITS CONFUSION!!!
W
LITERALLY LMAO
Lmfao. Confusion knocked himself out
LMAO
😂
I’m sorry, but Drake was punching way above his weight class here.
...is that why he got the BBL?
That's why he got bodied
OPEN THE DOOR HAL
Glass Joe picking a fight with Mic Tyson
Drake thought Dot's arms were too short to box with the 6 God, but look how that turned out. Dude got hiroshima'd
K-Dot has this one in the bag. Family Matters was one of Drake's best songs in a while, but even then, Kendrick has just been killing it with the diss tracks. This was more of a battle between most popular vs. actual best rapper around. This was great to experience, though. Love the Pokémon reference, btw.
Just like how he got beat by Pusha and had nothing to say afterwards. Drake only got credibility for his diss tracks because he went after weak targets. The moment someone with much better skill came at him, you see all the weaknesses in his game.
Drake doesn't have a daughter is not a pedo, and kung fu kenny beat his wife. How did he win?
"Let's get the fuck outta here before someone else pisses Kendrick off" 😅
"Joe Hale Osteen" was a good wordplay, but it definitely needed a couple passes to get it right.
Definitely a slept on bar, when you realize the ghost and AI part applies to both of the 2 names he mashed together
Haley Joel Osteen?
I think the bar is fine. You have to know the reference or else it's easily confused as a mistake. Kendrick is referencing the fact that Joel Osteen is suspected of using AI to write his sermons.
I was like “Joe Hale Austeen???”
“Joe Hale no”
When highlighted in this vid, Drakes flow sounds even more childish than I previously thought.
Yeah the more you listen the more he loses.. 🤣😂
Yeah despite how scathing some of his lines are, his flows were never on Kendrick's level.
What rhymes with witty?

That heavy use of Pokémon in this rap review has ensured that Pokérap is stuck in my head again, and will probably stay there for a month.
Someone gotta get Shofu or VI in on this. XD
The fact that all the moves actually made sense was wild to me. Like this was a fire reveiw lol
@@DreigonixIf Shofu can ever drop the Pokemon Cypher 2023.... LOL
The one thing that everyone gets wrong about this beef is the fact that Kendrick didn’t make a personal first. Drake did. He brought up Whitney sleeping with bodyguards (I think on push-ups)
This is a classic move by Drake. He always brings up somebody’s spouse on a diss record and when they retaliate in kind, he uses that to gaslight his fanbase by saying “they made it personal first“
"If you take' it there I'm takin' it further - that's something you don't wanna do".
Truer motherfucking words.
One of the most creative ways I've seen this beef get covered props
Ain't no way he brought the Pokémon Stadium joke to life 💀💀💀
Kendrick hates Drake more than I hate capitalism.
Ok , commie
Real
He hates his personality which is literally capitalism in persona
You can thank capitalism for giving you a device to complain about the thing that makes your life so great.
@@Excitegaming0 ain't no way you just used a canned meme seriously as a response to a joke. Lol
I didn't think I'd ever see this beef broken down into stats
He did the same with Ether and Takeover a few years back.
it’s a W when rap critic can actually put the music in his videos. brings back the nostalgia.
Ngl this makes me lowkey wish for Kendrick and eminem to start a battle. even if it's the equivalent of two kids swordfighting with sticks in the park shouting the star wars theme at each other, you know both would step up to deliver.
All women are queens vs if she breathes she's a thot
I don't even follow rap in any capacity and I knew there was no other possible outcome the second this started
This whole thing just confirms to me what I've been thinking for years:
Hip-hop is just wrestling.
showbiz is showbiz. no matter what century
Calling the beat switch “trick room” is brilliant ❤
Can u explain that?
I like how you created a formula to judge each song and how many bars hit. Drake was up for those 17 days before Kendrick dropped Euphoria but he clearly used his time wisely and wrote like 10 songs over the past month to stay ready for whatever was to come.
When we needed him most, he returned, where you been at fam
Fun new way of looking at the beef and set it apart from other videos while still giving a good breakdown of the bars
Woot woot! RapCritic video just dropped
More Rap Critic/Pokemon is something i didnt realize i needed haha
I nearly choked my breakfast on the Joel Osteen Haley Joel Osment line. 😅
I thought that was pretty damn corny tbh
You were actually my introduction to Kendrick from when you reviewed Swimming Pools way back when it came out. Time flies!
9:27 An oldschool curb stomp ass beating
We’ve all been waiting for this one 😭
I have discovered so many channels through this cultural moment. This is one
I knew you weren’t going to leave us when we needed you most
How do you even recover from the entire club dancing to your PDF allegations?
Rap Critic's motivation to create definitely goes up when rap music starts really happening again. fun to see
Kendrick won a Decisive Victory, that’s how the wiki page will read
You're the only person who would ever think the recount the battle this way and thats why im subscribed. Great vid.
I would've rather a part 2 than the ending rush job, but This was really cool :3
I wish the video was longer man.
Also, whether you like Kendrick or Drake, I think everyone can agree Taylor Made Freestyle was wack.
& The Heart Part 6
@@gabrieldukicchuks2058"too famous for this". he is telling on himself.
This is actually a really good summery of something I’ve found hard to keep up with thanks!
This is a really cool and creative way to cover beef that I haven't seen. Thanks for this video.
Been waiting for this!
Ya know, from the analytical approach, this is fair.
.
Top notch, because Drake did try his best and made songs that got me rolling and going ooo!
.
But, I'll be front, 6:16 AM in L.A. and Not Like Us still circulating in my head.
.
Overall, great video Rap Critic!
.
.
When this is all over, you need to do a line for line autopsy like you did with Nas vs Jay. I have rewatched that video every year just to hear your reactions.
Been waiting for your take on this. Worth the wait
Ty for putting your spin on the this. This was fun.
Creative video on the Kendrick/Drake beef! Loved it
this was the review i was looking forward. i’ve always loved you rap beef versus videos.
I really loved this approach to this beef. Good stuff
This right here is gold and so creative omg thank you critic
Thank you for this!!
Finally, an explanation I can understand!
About damn time
I was thoroughly confused about that Joel olsteen line, but I'm probably such a Kendrick Stan that I chaulked it up as me not being smart enough.
Loved this format for this🤣🤣🤣❤❤ hit me in my nostalgia
I hope this ends Drake’s career and that he never has another hit
Drake can't ever use minor chords in his music again.
This format is great
The Kendrick songs are some of the best rapping I've ever heard, jesus christ
😂. The most entertaining and sensible review so far IMO.
Loved that intro was top level 😅 Edit: The whole video is amazing
Drake using AI of Tupac is going to age horribly. That’s just disrespectful and hypocritical!
Well done! Subscribed
Was waiting
RC the Pokemon references were too funny 🤣🤣🤣 well done on this analysis!
This was excellent
This video was awesome! I’d love to see more famous rap beefs broken down like Pokémon battles.
Okay, really giving a like for this video. The pkmn battle references are too on point lol
I’ll never forget where I was when Not Like Us dropped
Like Heart Part 6 sucks but at least cover it? No comments on Kendrick's deflection about the Whitney thing? Not even a disagreement about Drake saying he planted shit?
Righhht I wanted him to cover all Drakes sus bars on that
Been waiting for you to talk about this
Here we go! The biggest rap beef since Nas vs Jay-Z.
This was my favorite breakdown of the beef by far
I didn’t realize how much I needed dramatic battle commentary over this ✨
5:14 it was an intentional move to call him Joel Osteen, because people have been known to make videos of him with AI, and he doesn't know if he's battling ghostwriters or AI
That future sight attack was brutal
This is the best coverage of this beef I've ever seen
Another Great vid from Rap critic 😂😂😂 Creative!
so would The Heart Part 6 be Drake tryign ot use destiny's bond but ended up using self destruct instead?
Damn, that would've been a good description lmfao!
Perfect recap of the beef😭
I don’t know what’s worse, puppeting a corpse to make a point or dragging a living guy into it be imitating him as speaking from his perspective
True
“Is Kendrick doing a fucking Z-Move dance?!”
I’M CACKLING 🤣
I like how he didn’t include “The Heart Part VI.” 🗑️
I appreciate you showing off Drake's stronger attacks and not skipping Kendrick's misses, since most people are hard sandbagging Drake. It puts into perspective the objective difference in their skill levels. Really terrific video!
Somebody really should've reminded Drake that he makes music for fuckboys and camgirls and he's out of his league.
I love how this whole thing is done like a Pokemon battle!
Great review
This was a hilarious review. Impressed you newer Pokemon moves like Trick room.
Kendrick destroyed Drake like when you beat the game and run into a route trainer you missed.
This is unironically your best video in years
Having a beef with Kendrick feels like inviting your own destruction. I mean, I'm not super into the rap scene, but just from what little I've heard, Kendrick feels like he might be the rapper with the most command of the English language alive today. You don't challenge that kind of man to a battle of words. You shank him in an alley and frame his ex-girlfriend.
Waited for this ages!!
Kdot made it very clear this is between me and you. BBL Drizzy with his ego still had to make it like it's him vs everyone for his fans to feel like it's going to be an unfair fight. 🤣 He already responded to everyone with push ups and just kept doing it, for what? Kdot didn't disappoint and even gave him a warning about not making it personal. I'm glad Cole got out of it. BBL Drizzy is a toxic human being to be paired with Cole.
Absolutely loving the play by play.
Thank you for explaining it in pokemon terms, I had no clue what was going on
Todd in the Shadows agrees, Rap Critic agrees, everyone else (including myself) agrees that Kendrick won by a knock-out. And it's rare for me to agree on the former two on things these days.
Refereeing battles could be a cool thing for you. Canibus and LL would be good.
This is going to sound veeeerry random….. but thanks for drawing Drake to look a liiiil more black and less ambiguous, not just in the skin, but the jaw too😭 as much as I don’t fuck with Drake I hate that ppl genuinely be taking his black card away
Actually have been wait for this. Keep in mind I haven't seen your content in a while.
Shout out to Metro and King Willonius for BBL Drizzy
THE KID WAS IN THE MOVIS AI AND THE GHOST MOVIE. THATS the connection i think he was trying to make.
