No kendrick didn't even come close when it came to rap beef criteria. Repeating the same diss over and over using different creative ways would've never won a battle in the 90s. Being more lyrical didn't win either or big wouldn't destroyed pac. All the criteria people are using for kendrick today people didn't use during the greatest rap beefs EVER. Drake even said kendricks fans would do that and yall did lol.
Kendrick checks all boxes in both rap and hip hop. They on here talking like Kendrick ain't THAT DUDE. This is low key hate on Kendrick and an attempt to rebuild Drake disguised as a deep discussion.
@@Tuelz...Name one rapper that’s been doing that in their first week consistently? You’re talking about where are his fans his last project before his hiatus was DAMN and he sold 603,000 his first week and then he came back 6 years later selling 286,373 what are you talking about?
Drake is literally a character Aubrey plays that is intermixed with elements of Budden, Ye, Pusha, and Phonte and the sonics/commercial appeal of late 90s/early 2000s SupaFriends (Timbaland, Missy, Playa, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Tweet)
Kendrick smoked Drake. What's wild, is that was a Teddy Pendagrass sample at the beginning of Euphoria and 6:16 in LA is an AL green sample, that Drakes uncle played bass on, they had a record together called back to back.. Dot just different.
Yeah I just look that up that crazy because in Kendrick line in euphoria back to back I like that record in get back to back for the record then next song is al green sample whewwww the breakdowns on his songs 🔥
@@jayc5756Like that and Euphoria were far better tracks than Push ups and that mediocre A.I track. Even if you substitute Like that with 6.16 in LA Kendrick would still win that round Euphoria low key as far as bar for bar better than Family Matters. Family Matters vs Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us. Obviously K Dot takes the W there as well, and both those tracks are more effective in more than one way. It's actually not hard to say he got swept.
Drake had the upper hand foh 🤣 every body was saying kendrick was boring and don't have bops like drake and he don't drop music as often foh. Every excuse in the book for drake.
No drake literally had no chance to win... it's almost like if Nikki and Cardi B battle. Cardi will win everytime because it's popular to hate Nikki. Same as Drake... they are too big. The only reason Meek Mill lost to drake was because he himself self sabotaged himself cus if he would of just dissed drake back normal and stayed off social media he would of won cus Drake is the bigger artist. If your the underdog especially in rap then you have all the fans wanting to see the top guy lose. It reminds me of Floyd... every fight if he wins they will says it's because this and that but if he ever lost they would clown him. It's because he's so popular they just wanna see him lose now
The thing that sets Kendrick apart isn't being conscious or being technically skilled (though he is at the top level of both), it's his artistic sense. That's something a lot of great rappers just don't have. Kendrick has taste. I love the lyrical masters of rap, but none of them have the taste that Kendrick has. There aren't even a handful of rappers who could make an album like Mr. Morale, that's high art. It's not just brute force skill and it's not just the message itself. It's the tastefulness, the artistic sensibility. Nobody comes close to him on that aspect.
Kendrick won because he’s a better lyricist why is that so hard to understand. That Drake was an underdog narrative needs to stop. When push ups dropped it was sz memes and push up memes.
That part. I’m starting to think that people don’t know what words mean anymore. Talking about your own emotions and experiences is just “introspective”. Connecting your story to a bigger, community story is “conscious”. I wish Talib didn’t let that slide 🤦🏽♀️
Drake came in praising a lot of conscious rappers and his first mixtapes had a conscious vibe to them and displayed a lot more raps than hooks and singing
Make no mistake, K. Dot from WEST SIDE BOMPTON PIRU, he just do lead with that. It's PLENTY of stories of bro running up on ppl, BEFORE rap. Also, yY'all keep calling dude a CONSCIOUS rapper, but so was 'Pac...
@@shotarokaneda7525 you all over the place, sounds like you a bbl fan and trying any and every way to defend the PDF file, but you know you can't fully so it just sounds stupid, but I get it nice try ....I said what I said
Question about the reference track. I seen the story but didn’t read it. Did Drake take the reference song, but write his own verses? Or did he re rap the whole joint as his own? Because other rappers have reference tracks for songs. Jay-Z gave Fabolous a song. Migos wrote Apeshit for Jay and Beyonce. Hov just replaced the verses with ones he wrote. Happens all the time
The Mob Ties reference was basically the cadence and hook to the song. Drake did use pieces of the verse. I guess the issue is that the cadence is the best part and the energy of the song, the reference track sounds just as good as his Drake lol
I heard Kendrick has ghost writers too. I hope not. Considering how many ghost writers are out there though, I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of rappers had ghost writers.
At the beginning of his career Drake rode the Houston chopped and screwed sound to death pause. He rarely ever talks about black consciousness his music for a while been soul less bubblegum records. In his last album he said he don’t believe in god the song is called wick man. Hiphop always had a balance of pop, consciousness, soul, street and lyrical skills but the last 10 yrs has been over saturation with bubble gum rap. It’s time for a re-leveling of quality hiphop music
People think the nail in the coffin on Ether was "Eminem murdered you on your own shit", but the real nail was "You seem to be only concerned with dissing women, we're you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly?" that's a line a conscious rapper would say.
Ether was corny. It was a big success to many people, but that diss record wasn't too monumental that it derailed Jay. Jay went on to make more hit songs, more classic albums while Nas faded into obscurity. 1. Public Service Announcement (post-Ether) 2. Lost One (post-Ether) 3. Story of OJ (pe) 4. Whatever other song you like. 5. Watch the Throne Nas is a dull rapper. You can't play Nas all day at a club, but you can play Jay songs for at least 10 songs straight and keep a party going. It couldn't destroy Jayz because Nas only has insults for him, not actual facts that could hurt his credibility (dsl & camel face? Super Mega Pause for the first one and pause on the basis of judging a man by how he looks) Essentially Nas vs Jay-Z was strictly a New York thing (don't argue with me) between two men of similar backgrounds, with similar spiritual traits, and character traits. Nothing exciting about that. Kendrick vs Drake is God vs The Devil (6god) and everyone can benefit from watching God defeat Satan. People thought Satan would win and they always think that, that's why we have little faith in ourselves and God. This wasn't a rap beef, it was a spiritual battle. The New God MC: Kendrick Lamar The Old God MC: Jay-Z And isn't it funny that J Cole modeled himself after Nas? Number 2's for life lol.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 Nas faded into obscurity Post Ether. Ok , Define "Obscurity" 1. God Son Album (Made You Look, I can), Hip Hop Is Dead (A quote that has sparked converstions to this day), Collab Album with Damian Marley was a worldwide success, The Hit Boy 6 in his late forties won him a grammy, Illmatic is studied in Harvard university, Mass Appeal is the Source of Hip Hop History in the commercial space. 2 "You Owe Me" "If I Ruled the World" "Oochie Wally" "It Ain't hard To Tell" and "Got Yourself A Gun" Still get plays to this day. 3. The same old "Ether was full of lies" Truth: Jay stole biggie lines too much. Truth: Jay's girl songs were hyper-misogynistic at the time. Truth: Jay was hurt he never worked with Nas so he started beefing with Nas. Truth: Beanie was getting more love in the street than jay. Truth: Jay nearly did time for someone else stabbing UN. Truth: Jay took The Blueprint concept from KRS. Truth: Jay kept Nas' name in his music, he sample Nas for choruses TWICE!!. Truth: Nas retaliated to everyone in Roc A Fella BY HIMSELF!! 4. Jay got DESTROYED by Nas and Ether. after Ether, Roc-A-Fella Records ended and kanye West and Fiddy became the number one rappers in the game. Jay-Z meanwhile retired, sat behind a chair and played husband for two years before returning sloppily with Kingdom Come. 5. Well I don't know, are you a New Yorker? That would make sense if the character traits are familliar to you. Over here, in the UK, we studied the BARS!!! not the popularity and image contest. and bro, Kendrick is nice, but NO Emcee is God, no Emcee needs their glizzy shined, just respect the talent and support what you want with your wallet.
@@theconsciousobserver6829tf you even talking about bro... you just called Nas music corny just because you can't pop your ass to it 😂? Kendrick doesn't make club music either, is he corny to you too 🤦🏾♂️? Nas has always made experimental, conscious, story driven music.. so of course his sales never compared to Jay. Jay has always aimed for mainstream $ and, he even admits in Moment of Clarity with his "lyrically Talib Kweli/ain't been rhyming like Common since" lines. Nas literally stayed in his own lane, never switched up for the booty shakers (except with Oochie Wally, bet you loved that one lol)... and still is getting nominated/winning Grammys with his current hit boy projects. Lmao @ faded into obscurity.
Fall 2008 808s & heartbreaks came first then so far gone came at the top of the year in 2009. 2007-2008 Drake was still wheelchair Jimmy, his song that he actually had a video for call Replacement Girl was debuted on 106 & Park. The two mixtapes he had before that were cool but they were more like Cool Kids and Kidz in the Hall vibes.
Hip Hop media has been by far the most disappointing of this whole battle. I look at all these platforms so differently now. To be so biased that you can’t even make an objective argument is wild af. Oh well.
Like 50 said when the world hate on you, you know winning in life , so know the world dnt like you no more 50 be on point he dnt care how no fans feel lol
So these dudes just totally left Phonte from Little Brother out as an influence to Kanye and Drake? Both went to NC to work with Little Brother when they were starting out
Drake went into the battle the reigning champion. K was the underdog. Not everybody was on K like THAT. After Good Kid, MAAD City everybody (as in boppers and casual music listeners) low-key fell off Kendrick. Only the real ones was still tappin in. So going into this beef WE knew K could NOT just come normal. Drake was confident with the jokes and the roasts completely underestimating his opponent. Kendrick took notes, created his battle plan, observed the situation and attacked! He studied Drake and stayed steps ahead of him. After piecing his plan together, he struck on Like That: the bait to see who will bite. Knowing Drake's ego bobbleheading, he knew he would take it. Then he waited. Drake struck: Push-Ups. Kendrick observed. Drake struck again: TaylorMade (which was a HUGE mistake that bit him in the long-run and the fuel that fired Dot up). Everything with K was strategic and carefully crafted and when he struck, he struck hard!
Kendrick never fell off he just had one of the highest grossing tours of all time for Mr.Morale....don't be silly. He "fell off" in the eyes of deluded people noone has ever said Kendrick fell off. Cole and Drake were talking greasy and He decided now was the time to show the world why they are not "Like That".
The crazy part to me is how Drake fans are trying to switch the narrative by saying that Drake is a popstar, not a rapper. Um, didn't the whole thing popoff because kdot wouldn't do the First Person Shooter song, in which Drake is attempting to label himself as a GOAT rapper? Make it make sense???

Like 50 said when the world hate on you, you know winning in life , so know the world dnt like you no more 50 be on point he dnt care how no fans feel lol
@MathHoffa Drake's most conscious record on so far gone is a 808's n Heartbreaks record called Say What's Real
I think most knew before it escalated, Drake was gonna get killed in this battle. How bad? That is what we didn't know and later found out.
Drake literally had one of Kanye's beats on So Far Gone( Say you will)
Should’ve had Smart on here to really have an intellectual, in depth analysis on this topic fr
Drake freestyled over "Say You Will" (from 808's) on So Far Gone.
Mecca had a fire take , you nailed it (emo rap)😅
So far gone was after 808
So Far Gone was out years before 808s lol the re-released it on DSPs before Drakes debut album. You were wrong Math
No it wasn’t
Drake used the “Say You Will” beat as the intro on So Far Gone smh. What they talking about
I'm glad bruh put LL in the convo, but they didn't let him cook.
Kendrick raps and speaks about unity, Drake says "No new friends...f@#k all y'll ninjas"
“Pause” after “shooting at the meat industry” is WILD
OVO Kneepads got a recall on them
So these dudes just totally left Phonte from Little Brother out as an influence to Kanye and Drake? Both went to NC to work with Little Brother when they were starting out
Facts because early drake was a combo of Phonte & Budden
So far gone came out before 808’s …. Say you will instrumental was on so far gone 9:12
Vulnerable is a better word Mecca!!
Drake went into the battle the reigning champion. K was the underdog. Not everybody was on K like THAT. After Good Kid, MAAD City everybody (as in boppers and casual music listeners) low-key fell off Kendrick. Only the real ones was still tappin in. So going into this beef WE knew K could NOT just come normal. Drake was confident with the jokes and the roasts completely underestimating his opponent. Kendrick took notes, created his battle plan, observed the situation and attacked! He studied Drake and stayed steps ahead of him. After piecing his plan together, he struck on Like That: the bait to see who will bite. Knowing Drake's ego bobbleheading, he knew he would take it. Then he waited. Drake struck: Push-Ups. Kendrick observed. Drake struck again: TaylorMade (which was a HUGE mistake that bit him in the long-run and the fuel that fired Dot up). Everything with K was strategic and carefully crafted and when he struck, he struck hard!
Kendrick never fell off he just had one of the highest grossing tours of all time for Mr.Morale....don't be silly. He "fell off" in the eyes of deluded people noone has ever said Kendrick fell off. Cole and Drake were talking greasy and He decided now was the time to show the world why they are not "Like That".
@@jordandavis3867def didn’t fall off, especially after GKMC when his commercial peak was 5 years later with DAMN
Sorry this wasn’t a battle. It was a chastening. This was no contest. And to say Kendrick Fell off? Lord bless your soul
@@shaspearman8647 no I said casual listeners fell off, not Kendrick
@@jordandavis3867 is y'all reading right? I clearly didn't say Kendrick fell off 🤦🏽♂️
What was common excuse then?
He wasn't ready
Talib Alwaaaaaays went out of his way in his music to denounce and express that he's not a conscious rapper. I can't make this up😂
You literally just made that up.
@talibkweligreene1752 do your research before u start typing. I'm a very grown saa man that's not about to be makin up stuff in a comment section.
The crazy part to me is how Drake fans are trying to switch the narrative by saying that Drake is a popstar, not a rapper. Um, didn't the whole thing popoff because kdot wouldn't do the First Person Shooter song, in which Drake is attempting to label himself as a GOAT rapper? Make it make sense???
What!??? 808's was BEFORE so far gone
Na Mecca it’s 808 first then So Far Gone. Drake did a freestyle to one of the beats off 808s on that mixtape
808s" came before "So Far Gone. A year before....
Drake was playing imitation games instead of being original. Once Kendrick got him out in those waters of the essence, it got different .
Talib said what they don't want to hear Pac is the King Pioneer of Conscious Rap
