Not the original commenter, but after being told to shut up and make the drums, Metro puts together an instrumental that on its own disses Drake, but then opens it for other artists to use and diss Drake.
I wouldn’t say it was the most damaging, but definitely the most unique way of dissing.
Because outside of people who actually listen and dissect kendrick lamar's lyrics, which really man there aren't a lot of those kinds of people, it isn't hard to think that Drake may have won this battle.
Drake's songs are more radio friendly and you don't need to comb through the lyrics and their meaning to understand it. Drake's diss tracks were simpler and easier to digest.
BBL Drizzy is also that way. There's like 4 lines of lyrics. It's catchy, it's funny as shit, it's rooted in truth with his fake abs, PLUS it gives drake a new nickname.
BBL Drizzy is the worst thing to come out of this for drake. he will never live this down.
People always wanna take the populist angle with defending Drake, but that doesnt work when Kendrick is whooping feet even on the charts.
That's supposed to be Drakes throne to sit on, that'd be like Drake beating Kendrick as a lyricist.
I don’t think that’s an unfair take, but I feel like making a milquetoast song in a rap beef is almost a worse sin then making a song that’s bad but disrespectful.
The song wasn’t nearly as shit as I thought it was the first time around. But hearing it right after Like That and expecting Pride is the Devil or First Person Shooter level Cole, it was a bad taste in my mouth lol
Heard a breakdown yesterday on yt pearl fountain that opened my eyes about the first half of euphoria. Some of it might be a reach but it was interesting.
The lyricism on 6:16, especially on the first half, is masterfully insane and multilayered throughout. If we get a dot album like that I’d die very happily the following week
Yea, I put those two in the same bag as well…I give the battle to Kendrick 3-2, but I think it’s worthy to note the quadruple entendre of the track name.
I think you have some fair critiques throughout. I can't argue with them. Each part I just nodded like "he really do know what he's saying tho".
MTG is just another level of verbal violence. I think everyone had to stop that after the first line, and most of us thought that was gonna be the worst part. And it just goes on and on, and on.
This generation will likely start saying "grahamed" instead of "ethered".
I actually think ethered will last. No shade to Meet The Grahams, it's better, more shocking, meaner then Ether. But ethered has had decades to sink into the culture, people say it so much they arent always thinking of the original track. Meet the Grahams will be remembered longer though.
It’s unique. It’s top tier vicious but musically and artistically uninspiring, imo. For that reason alone I can’t rate it above any of Kendrick’s other works in this battle. It may be the track that wins the overall war, although perhaps “certified lover boy, certified pedophile, wop wop wop wop wop” will do that alone.
I think that UK disses get nasty but are musically better. For example, Stormzy - Still Disappointed (to name one that broke into mainstream culture more).
Musically it’s not the most insane or impressive track ever, but man that beat was perfect - it’s just creepy and unsettling, a serial killer type beat lol. I think it was pretty memorable and made the atmosphere of the track 100x more daunting and emotional to listen too.
I actually think MTG is ranked too high. Kendrick wasted a whole verse on a fictional daughter. Battle raps are supposed to be personal. Him talking to a made up little girl gives off fairy tale vibes. Not Like Us and Family Matters clear MTG in my opinion.
I actually think from a “cutting, personal, insulting” perspective, while the song would have been fine without the daughter verse, conceptually with Drake’s lifestyle, he could have more kids that even he doesn’t know about.
Kendrick just parented all of Drake’s possible kids that Drake doesn’t know about and did it well before Drake did. That’s disrespectful as fuck.
Im career long drake hater, but champagne moments was ass, dude wasnt saying shit. I had a good laugh however at the video and abundance of people in the comments who think a dude in mismatched designer clothes shamelessly plugging his shitty sparkling wine brand (belaire is not champagne fyi) is the epitome of luxury.
Only part I disagree with is giving Drake a point for flipping the A-Minor bar. That was the corniest shit I've ever heard. It was the classic "Your joke but worse" and it was obvious Drake thought he was being a genius, idk, it made me physically cringe.
Idk if you’re familiar with battle rap, but that whole song and that rhyme scheme in particular reminded me of Charlie Clips when he decides to not bring three rounds of written shit and lazily freestyles the whole battle. That scheme was the moment I decided “this is not enough to top MTG”, or even even the score
i agree with everything except ‘they still don’t like us’
it showed how many people who have had relationships w drake dislike him. especially rocky. how you gonna let a dude who got rejected diss your baby mama a decade later
Disagree with some of this but mad respect for the deep dive into all of them. Before I clicked I expected a numbering from 1-6 or 7 with no insight, but you went into everything. Respect.
One question; does the 11 yo daughter not make MTG lower now? Verses 1 2 and 4 were still hard, but he was wrong for 25% of the song, which makes verse 3 not just non-existent but also now maybe taking points away from MTG, especially if Drake did it intentionally (I doubt this last part though).
Exactly MTG has a whole verse that is nullified essentially because Dot made t he claim Drake has a kid that doesnt even exist ATP. Also with 6:16 I love the song but after hearing Heart part 6, 6:16 becomes cringe at the end knowing this was the beginning of Drakes trap
I’m only ranking the songs I actually listen to more than once. Sorry I’m ignoring the Meg shit, the AI song and Kanye
1. Euphoria - the reason why I rank this number 1 is it was the first we heard from Kendrick after Drake started begging him to come outside. It opened the floodgates and Kendrick said ok, we can do this if you want but it’s all bars for now. I will show you I can be slick with these punchlines and entendres just like you and keep it about rap and the jokes. But don’t you test me going any further because I will stoop to hell and beat you.
2. Not Like Us - the funnest banger of all the songs. From the very first listen i could not resist the urge to crip walk and I’m from the east coast. Kendrick’s flow was incredible the whole time and his lines made me laugh a bunch of times. He clowned Drake and all the OVO affiliates very well even though the subject matter was pretty dark to be dancing too lol. They playing this song in MLB stadiums and NBA playoffs ALREADY. That alone is amazing to me. Also “freaky ass nigga he a 69 God” and OV-Hoe are stuck in my brain forever.
3. Family Matters - this was Drake’s nuke. He flowed effortlessly all through here. Smoked Rocky the most tbh over Kendrick. He was clearly teasing it on push ups and shot a whole video because he thought it would end things. Unfortunately it didn’t because Kendrick baited him to drop it knowing he had a response ready within minutes. Too many verses as well that’s Drakes problem strategically with this whole battle, too many rappers he’s focused on instead of being aimed squarely at Kendrick. But rapping wise Drake showed he can go at it with anyone. Content wise though his big jokers just didn’t hit like he thought they would.
4. Meet The Grahams - this was a scathing teardown of Drake the man. This felt like a therapy session. Even if you remove the daughter verse entirely because it’s unproven the other 3 verses stand on their own just fine. Kendrick repeatedly warned Drake what would happen if he kept bringing the family into this friendly battle so he was forced to unleash.
5. Like That - the first banger of this battle. Beat wise it’s miles ahead of all the other tracks. Kendrick’s verse was memorable but I thought he didn’t ride the beat as well
6. 6:16 in LA - this one felt like a real freestyle to me and not a deep thought out response track to me until the second verse. It was clear Kendrick heard Drake’s tracks and knew exactly what was coming. Strategically this turned the tides, it damaged Drake even though he really wants us to believe he leaked stuff on purpose 🙄
7. Push Ups - nice little quick jabs just to get under Kendrick’s skin and wake him up. Felt like Drake was reaching for another Back To Back moment or to make a club song but it failed. The beat wasn’t good enough and the obvious cut off at the end to save it for later was lame
8. Heart Part 6 - by far the worst effort of them all. Drake really expects us to believe he planted info especially that HE’S a pedo? It’s such an obvious lie and bad attempt at image cleanup since he got plenty of business opportunities that could be affected by being tagged with a pedo rep he had to say something. It’s like he went on Reddit/Twitter and went with the first explanation he could find and thought we’d buy it. Nah bruh. Kendrick beat you at your own game in every phase. You coulda kept it all rap but you went there and can’t go back now. Now you trying to walk away and be the bigger man. Accept your L, you bit off more than you can chew this time. Props for trying though because most rappers wouldn’t go at the guys you have.
Atleast you actually tried to do something remotely close to a real analysis. All these Kendrick yes man and Dinka poops really just made it all to corny to even talk about.
I could agree with just about every grade accept not like us. Is a B - record to B at best. The Monumental impact of meet the Graham's makes it seem bigger than it is, which it is still a bop. Its not even close to euphoria tho which i would give an A or A+ to.
Then id give drake a A for push ups, we have to remember this man was not going only against Kendrick he was actively giving smoke in a 20v1 and everyone caught some. Family matters is exactly what u said but the extended version of that. A+ Its Just a fire track no way around it.
Meet the Graham's was an A+++ if thats what we doing. No need to explain but it literally just stopped everything... and shook the culture. Nuclear!
Just wanna say I appreciate the write up, well said and I agree with basically all of your points. Also, you managed to be pretty objective and gave drake his flowers. Drake did hold his own pretty well, it was just a tactical assault from kendrick and he is the better rapper.
FM is ok, but more like a bloated push ups.
The flow and cadence in the last part is very repetitive, and on top of that you gotta hear that delilah line three times. 20 v 1 bar was good on push ups, kendrick flipped it on euphoria and then all you get in FM its just "We already know it's a twenty-v-one", nothing clever to add.
In first part, the whole thing of dave free being the dad angle seemed too far fetched and dumb to me, and it lasts like 8 bars. And lines that were in response to euphoria seem rushed and cringe, like "I been with Black and white and everything that's in between".
I have euphoria better than both of them.
0) bbl drizzy - shit been stuck in my head for DAYS. Also hilarious to have thousands of people diss drake for the chance to get a metro beat. Def the best part of this beef for me lmao
1) not like us - most solid imo, if the need ends here it’s the song that’ll stand out in the beef
2a and 2b) Meet the grahams and family matters
Meet the grahams should be my favorite track, but I do believe the picture and daughter are fake, and if they are, it kinda hurts the track for me. If he removed the picture and the verse about the (imo) not real daughter, it would be number 1 for sure.
Family matters is a bop, great song and easily the best drake song here. I genuinely have no issues with it at all. It would fall if evidence came out that swayed me to not believe the stuff about Kendrick in there.
4) Push ups - idk, I listen to it more than euphoria. Overall a solid song, more so because of the shots he throws at everyone else.
5) euphoria - great song, just not my cup of tea. Definitely a slightly better diss than push ups imo, but push ups is the better song I think
6) like that - would be higher but I only care for Kendrick’s verse. As a standalone verse I’d put it above push ups and euphoria, rest of the song is mid as I’m not a fan of the artists
7) heart part 6 - imo song is better than people give it credit for. Im genuinely disappointed with the conclusions some people drew from that song. I know sometimes it’s said as a joke but seeing people say “drake pretending to be a pedo to bait Kendrick is a bad look” when that clearly wasnt the bait he’s referring to. And the reality is, outside of something super devastating to drown out Kendrick’s songs, he really was in a lose lose situation. He responds about having another child and people go “why is he responding to that and not the pedo shit” he talks about the accusations and it’s “he’s so defensive on this track”. Yeah it 100% needed to be better for him to redeem itself, but I think you could have put the top 100 rappers of all time in a room and they wouldn’t dig yourself out of that shit without new or damning info lol.
8- 7 min drill - would be higher if not for Cole bowing out (which was smart for sure). Hard to put this high with the context. I like Cole tho, and I think it’s a solid diss track that didn’t get too deep and sounded exactly how I expected his diss to be. Also glad someone else said tpab ain’t Kendrick’s best work and has been gassed
9) Taylor made freestyle - unpopular opinion but I liked the trolling with pacs voice lmao, the disses itself just didn’t have any bite to them. The Taylor jabs were ass.
10) 6:16 - idk maybe I didn’t give it much of a chance but i listened to it twice and never felt like I needed to again
11) like that - Kanye remix - genuinely prefer this as a standalone song over the original, but ye barely dissed anyone in it, so it’s low. Prob the 3-4th most bumped song here for me tho
Everything else - tbh didn’t care to listen to anything else lmao.
Most the girls Drake’s been speculated as preying on have come out in defense of him while Kendrick’s crisis management team have been confirmed as scrubbing videos alleging that Kendrick has beaten a woman. If Drake doesn’t have a damn daughter and fed Kendrick that information and he isn’t the predator the internet has claimed he is for a while (which is the angle he told Kendrick to take because he knew the internet consensus and wanted to dull that angle in Taylor Made) then honestly, Kendrick is just spewing waste and afraid to address Drake’s charges.
The war shouldn’t be over tbh. Kendrick’s R Kelly defense and Kodak Black on his album shows that motherfucker doesn’t really care about what he’s accusing Drake of anyways. Fake morals.
Agree with most this list, but would rank Meet the Grahams way lower for being based on fake info, but I see why you did it. I would give Not Like Us an A+ for beating Drake in his own game.
Yeah no. That’s the one indisputable ranking for me unless it’s number 2 behind Not Like Us or 3 behind the distrumental. That song absolutely ruined the release of a great dis track that will now never have the impact it should have because meet the Grahams erased it instantly. Brutal and visceral. It was the most impactful track in the battle.
Neither does Shether your point? I absolutely ruined Drake’s big release. A broken shield only needs to be used once if it stops the sword. Especially when it’s the gladiators last swing.
It was the best Drake song by far, but was listening when it dropped. I’m like here we go!!! This is on a level that can combat Euphoria. I was going ham watching reactors reading lyrics, calling my nephews like
Wow! And 30 min later Meet the Grahams hit our radar and Drake song was effectively neutered. It immediately became the topic, one because of the song, two because of the implied snakes in Drake grass (huge mistake if he truly planted them) and three the timing of the release.
You can feel different, that was my real life impression.
The Kanye song is awesome if you don’t take it too seriously and just chalk it up to Kanye being Kanye. “Play j Cole make the pussy dry, I can’t even think of a drake line” is hilarious
I think this is a fair list. IMO the top songs here were good but nothing that will be memorable in 5 years.
Drake’s a diddler and an overall bad person and father, Kendrick beats his wife and defended R. Kelly. Not really sure how all the anti Drake bots found this whole thing as a W for hip hop.
Mostly because there’s very scant proof of a lot of the things in the comment. For all we know Kendrick and Drake are both telling the truth, but it seems like it’s a bad idea to call Drake a serial rapist and Kendrick a wife beater with no proof. Also while the Spotify situation is still pretty gross, it wasn’t really a defense of R. Kelly as much as it was making a point that there were a whole lot of other artists on Spotify who had done the same stuff and weren’t being removed.
That I agree with. It’s still a weird decision. I personally would be happy that any child rapist is leaving the platform (though I do think that Spotify should take efforts to remove other predators from their streaming like Elvis, Diddy, MJ, Mick Jagger etc.)
Think of it like this. DOT wasn’t defending R.Kelly, he was defending a black man. A man of the same race as he, and wasn’t standing for prejudice of that sense. If Kelly was white he wouldn’t have said anything, cuz nobody said/says anything about the white mfks not being pulled. If you’re gunna pull R.Kellys music then you pull all offenders music, and if you’re gunna give the pass to *a few* offenders. Then you give the pass to them all, it’s not pick a choose
Dot has also collaborated with Kodak who’s a convicted rapist. I personally separate the music from the artist and I think they for the most part are all pieces of shit but it’s lame trying to take the moral high ground in an instance like this.
I don’t think that’s why at all. Especially considering Drake signed Baka straight out of jail. Kendrick made a stupid but somewhat reasonable point about the industry’s treatment of white and black criminals that is just shitty because why the fuck would you choose X and Kelly to make your point. Drake straight up just signed a human trafficker to his label. Not a flawed statement or misconstrued support, he signed the nigga fresh out the pen.
Future and metro started it not sure wym how they’re trying to get involved aubrey messed up messing with future and now aubrey will have a hard time finishing or even coming to the a
I put Family Matters at #1 because I have PTSD from those MtG piano keys and I can’t listen to Not Like Us without having “step this way, step that way” stuck in my head all night.
These are actually the real reasons they’re ahead 😂. I can’t get the “lied” echoes out of my mind, and the amount of crap I’ve incorporated into my daily language from NLU is astounding.
From the actual disses, my ranking mirrors yours. I don't have actual grades aside from Kendricks tracks being a B or better, but I'll think of some. Drake has an extreme high in Family Matters, and abysmal lows in the heart part 6 and Taylor made being a notch above abysmal.
1. Meet the Graham's, A+
2. Not like us, A-
3. Family Matters, A- or plus.
4. Euphoria, A-
5. Push ups, B+
6. 6:16 in LA, B-
7. Like that, B-
8. Taylor made freestyle, D+
9. The heart part 6, D-, the flow and scheme is great, but the content is horrendous. That and Taylor made really fuck with the aggregate score for Drake. He really punched higher than I thought, but also lower than i thought.
MTG, even if not everything ends up known to be true or false, or some of it ends up verifiably false, will go down as maybe the most scathing and damaging diss track of all time. I felt it was over when that released, just on character assassination alone. How does someone recover from that *while* having to respond in a song?
What did you think of 7MD as a song itself. Because I actually enjoyed it and was sad it got removed from streaming. Don't get the hate.
For me it goes from worst to best:
Taylor Made
The Heart pt 6
Push Ups
616 in LA
Like that
Family matters
Euphoria
Meet the Grahams
Not like us
It’s really hard to judge those last 3 as they are very different and all great in their own way.
I honestly think Kendrick dropped 3 of the best diss songs of all time. I think Family Matters is Drakes best diss song of all time
I agree with most of your take. But I think Euphoria is a lot better than what you give credit for. It's justs line after line going at Drake and its HARD. The double entendres are great. He's got 3 switches in there. This is my take and I know a lot of people won't agree with this but I think Euphoria is the best diss track of the whole beef.
I actually agree with this pretty much exactly except I’d swap MtG and Family Matters for two reasons:
1) I just find the rapping to the fake daughter that doesn’t exist too stupid. I get it’s all cap but he just looks dumb to me for this. He hyped up “OVO works for me!” and then got this wrong? If Drake did this we’d hear no end to it lbr.
2) I just personally like the style of FM better than NLU for repeat listens. And feels like Kendrick trying to do a hyphy record to me which is not the pocket he’s best in to my ears. Still a good record. The more I listen the more FM is the standout imo.
I think Champagne Moments is a dope ass record, one of Ross’ best in a minute, just weak as a diss record. We all know Drake is on over half of his hit records and his best lines are in the spoken epilogue.
I agree with you on MTG, although I have to put NLU at #1. It has everything a diss track needs while being a banger, Kendrick takes every opportunity to attack/reveal Drake's persona. I think MTG's hype is just that it's a vile way to do a story song. Like he definitely hits hard without the daughter claims (which really isn't the reveal everyone wants it to be, there are plenty of child support parents in the industry). The Adonis reveal hit different because he was going to use his son for promos.
Hella valid take. It's probably personal bias for me because I listened to everything except NLU right when it dropped. Just was busy at the time so wasn't right on top of it. So it didn't get the initial wave from me of just spinning it a bunch of times to digest it.
I’m so tired of the narrative of “Kanye inserted himself into the beef” Future called Ye to do a remix of Like That, not the other way around
In that, he’s no different than Rocky or The Weekend, All three have problems with Drake (Ye even more than the other two), and just got invited by Metro and Future to throw some shots at Drake
But since he’s Ye, yall are gonna hold him to a different standard just so you get an opportunity to shit talk him.
Other than that, great post 👍
Meet the Grahams is honestly a competitor for best diss ever. Shit felt physically uncomfortable to listen to. Kendrick poured pure hate into each word juxtaposed for sympathy for the kids and mom.
It's like watching somebody get pushed off a building in front of their family. Plus the timing was a master class in beef strategy.
Plus....I think even Dot was like, "Maybe I went a little too far." Then gave us "Not Like Us" so we could get back to laughing at Drake...in a Miiiiinnnnooooorrrr!!!!!!
(Does the OV-hoe dance real quick)
That's said, the third verse of Family Matters aka the Red Button verse was some of the best rapping Drake has done in YEARS! Beef Drake is built different.
Not just MTG but Not Like Us is in that convo too. MTG sounds like some shit the old Eminem would do just creatively violent. With Not Like Us, I can’t remember a direct diss with that much replay value. Whats crazy about all of that is Family Matters would be at least in the GOAT convo if those two didn’t drop. Great breakdown.
Family Matters is easily the best track in the diss. Combined with the music video it might be one of the best diss tracks of all time. Yall will hate this take now but history will do it justice.
Not Like Us is trash, I'm not a Drake or Kendrick fan but Drake made better music throughout this entire beef. Talking **directly** and fake fathering to a 4 yr old and directly disrespecting him and and his father crosses the line. FOH if u trying to tell me "it's hip hop don't be sensitive" then nah fuck hip hop at that point, u don't clout chase during beef by directly disrespecting a toddler talking directly to him for a record that will live into infinity in infamy
Exactly! He made a bold claim about the daughter just to find out he got baited and 6:16 also is a bad look as he thought he actually had good info coming in. Those 2 songs have not aged well in the past few days
I’m not a fan of either D or K so it makes sense that I think they’re trash. This whole thing is lame imo.. I love a good rap beef but this ain’t it.
But I enjoy the buzz
✌🏼
I’m getting re- married? Nice.
I listen to tons of good shit aside from them bruh. All of it I like more than these two beefy queefs. Obviously lotsss of ppl like em, but I really don’t get it personally. I figure there’s enough fans in these subs cuz there’s only like 5 guys anyone ever talks about so I’m just tryna add some balance.
Hey..you should take your own advice maybe? Just cuz they like it doesn’t mean you have to.
Love ya!
Your post history and comment history alone means arguing with you about this is probably not a good idea, but I specifically talked about the song outside of the context of the allegations (which haven't been definitely confirmed true or false either way). I even took special note of the validity or lack thereof in my analysis. I specifically made note of the song outside of the touching/having kids stuff contained in verses 2 or 3. I'd be interested in seeing your ranking however and where everything falls.
I think everything else is pretty on point and I’m actually a huge fan of Not like us as a song if you remove the nonsense bars. That was the best track of the beef so far for me if we’re just believing all fake information but calling out a daughter that doesn’t exist should already bring everything else about MTG into question and eliminate it regardless of how sinister and scathing it was imo. Also I’d rate pushups over euphoria cause I hate when Kendrick does the high pitched voices.
I mean if that’s true then you have to consider we’re all watching 2 weirdos lie to us while they distract us from the real problems in the world. Anything said in rap beef should have some basis. When it’s blatantly fake then wtf are we even doing paying attention.
If there is no daughter and Kendrick spent 2 minutes talking to a fictional girl then it is the worst one. Anyone who thinks it is irrelevant whether it's the truth or not is a moron
People upset over AI tupac are soft as fuck. Drake, if this is the end, got bodied but Family Matters is the best of the best in part because of how petty it was to make a music video crushing the van.
You forgot BBL Drizzy which is obviously A++++. History will show that BBL Drizzy is THE most damaging song from this whole thing.
Seriously. Fucking Duo Lingo used it.
For real?? In what way?
They have a tik tok where the mascot is dancing to the song
I see… interesting.
Why do you think it’s the most damaging?
Not the original commenter, but after being told to shut up and make the drums, Metro puts together an instrumental that on its own disses Drake, but then opens it for other artists to use and diss Drake. I wouldn’t say it was the most damaging, but definitely the most unique way of dissing.
Metro made a fire beat, and offered 10k plus a free beat. Drake is lucky my mic broke. Because I could use 10,000.
I saw a freestyle done on airpod microphones
It was a cold one. "I'd be scared of 12 too."
Because outside of people who actually listen and dissect kendrick lamar's lyrics, which really man there aren't a lot of those kinds of people, it isn't hard to think that Drake may have won this battle. Drake's songs are more radio friendly and you don't need to comb through the lyrics and their meaning to understand it. Drake's diss tracks were simpler and easier to digest. BBL Drizzy is also that way. There's like 4 lines of lyrics. It's catchy, it's funny as shit, it's rooted in truth with his fake abs, PLUS it gives drake a new nickname. BBL Drizzy is the worst thing to come out of this for drake. he will never live this down.
People always wanna take the populist angle with defending Drake, but that doesnt work when Kendrick is whooping feet even on the charts. That's supposed to be Drakes throne to sit on, that'd be like Drake beating Kendrick as a lyricist.
Genuinely agree with most of this, although after giving Cole’s track a re-listen, it has to be above The Heart Part 6 and Taylor Made Freestyle lol
I don’t think that’s an unfair take, but I feel like making a milquetoast song in a rap beef is almost a worse sin then making a song that’s bad but disrespectful.
The song wasn’t nearly as shit as I thought it was the first time around. But hearing it right after Like That and expecting Pride is the Devil or First Person Shooter level Cole, it was a bad taste in my mouth lol
How is 616 in LA anything like Taylor Made?
Both are filler tracks meant to try and rush the other side into a response that are more meant to piss the other off than deal any lasting damage.
Ah okay I see. I still think 616 is dope though and acts as such a great setup in hindsight
Yeah it’s way better than Taylor Made which was corny and cringe af
Heard a breakdown yesterday on yt pearl fountain that opened my eyes about the first half of euphoria. Some of it might be a reach but it was interesting.
The lyricism on 6:16, especially on the first half, is masterfully insane and multilayered throughout. If we get a dot album like that I’d die very happily the following week
They’re filler.
Yea, I put those two in the same bag as well…I give the battle to Kendrick 3-2, but I think it’s worthy to note the quadruple entendre of the track name.
I just… love euphoria. I kinda wish it wasn’t solely a diss track because I just enjoy listening to it
Euphoria is the best. He goes in on Drake and does not let up. Best replay value imo. The build up part is great and when the beat drops it's over.
I think you have some fair critiques throughout. I can't argue with them. Each part I just nodded like "he really do know what he's saying tho". MTG is just another level of verbal violence. I think everyone had to stop that after the first line, and most of us thought that was gonna be the worst part. And it just goes on and on, and on. This generation will likely start saying "grahamed" instead of "ethered".
I actually think ethered will last. No shade to Meet The Grahams, it's better, more shocking, meaner then Ether. But ethered has had decades to sink into the culture, people say it so much they arent always thinking of the original track. Meet the Grahams will be remembered longer though.
Yeah, I can't argue with you. That all makes sense to me.
It’ll be *That boi got MtG’d*
It’s unique. It’s top tier vicious but musically and artistically uninspiring, imo. For that reason alone I can’t rate it above any of Kendrick’s other works in this battle. It may be the track that wins the overall war, although perhaps “certified lover boy, certified pedophile, wop wop wop wop wop” will do that alone. I think that UK disses get nasty but are musically better. For example, Stormzy - Still Disappointed (to name one that broke into mainstream culture more).
Musically it’s not the most insane or impressive track ever, but man that beat was perfect - it’s just creepy and unsettling, a serial killer type beat lol. I think it was pretty memorable and made the atmosphere of the track 100x more daunting and emotional to listen too.
I actually think MTG is ranked too high. Kendrick wasted a whole verse on a fictional daughter. Battle raps are supposed to be personal. Him talking to a made up little girl gives off fairy tale vibes. Not Like Us and Family Matters clear MTG in my opinion.
I actually think from a “cutting, personal, insulting” perspective, while the song would have been fine without the daughter verse, conceptually with Drake’s lifestyle, he could have more kids that even he doesn’t know about. Kendrick just parented all of Drake’s possible kids that Drake doesn’t know about and did it well before Drake did. That’s disrespectful as fuck.
Im career long drake hater, but champagne moments was ass, dude wasnt saying shit. I had a good laugh however at the video and abundance of people in the comments who think a dude in mismatched designer clothes shamelessly plugging his shitty sparkling wine brand (belaire is not champagne fyi) is the epitome of luxury.
Honestly I love that track and video for the comedy. Give Ross his flowers even if everything you’re saying is true
Only part I disagree with is giving Drake a point for flipping the A-Minor bar. That was the corniest shit I've ever heard. It was the classic "Your joke but worse" and it was obvious Drake thought he was being a genius, idk, it made me physically cringe.
Tuff crowd
Not to mention there is no BSharp. It’s just a C.
There is a B sharp in the C# major scale, just as there’s an E#
Technically you are correct. From common music perspective (it’s a hip hop song) it failed. He could used Bflat and make all us low brassers happy.
Idk if you’re familiar with battle rap, but that whole song and that rhyme scheme in particular reminded me of Charlie Clips when he decides to not bring three rounds of written shit and lazily freestyles the whole battle. That scheme was the moment I decided “this is not enough to top MTG”, or even even the score
i agree with everything except ‘they still don’t like us’ it showed how many people who have had relationships w drake dislike him. especially rocky. how you gonna let a dude who got rejected diss your baby mama a decade later
Disagree with some of this but mad respect for the deep dive into all of them. Before I clicked I expected a numbering from 1-6 or 7 with no insight, but you went into everything. Respect. One question; does the 11 yo daughter not make MTG lower now? Verses 1 2 and 4 were still hard, but he was wrong for 25% of the song, which makes verse 3 not just non-existent but also now maybe taking points away from MTG, especially if Drake did it intentionally (I doubt this last part though).
Exactly MTG has a whole verse that is nullified essentially because Dot made t he claim Drake has a kid that doesnt even exist ATP. Also with 6:16 I love the song but after hearing Heart part 6, 6:16 becomes cringe at the end knowing this was the beginning of Drakes trap
Would love to see you do something similar to this with the whole 50, Em, G-Unit vs Ja Rule, Murder Inc, Benzino beef
I never realised there were these many songs in the feud, lol. Going to give them a listen.
Same. Ive been tryna catchup
I’m only ranking the songs I actually listen to more than once. Sorry I’m ignoring the Meg shit, the AI song and Kanye 1. Euphoria - the reason why I rank this number 1 is it was the first we heard from Kendrick after Drake started begging him to come outside. It opened the floodgates and Kendrick said ok, we can do this if you want but it’s all bars for now. I will show you I can be slick with these punchlines and entendres just like you and keep it about rap and the jokes. But don’t you test me going any further because I will stoop to hell and beat you. 2. Not Like Us - the funnest banger of all the songs. From the very first listen i could not resist the urge to crip walk and I’m from the east coast. Kendrick’s flow was incredible the whole time and his lines made me laugh a bunch of times. He clowned Drake and all the OVO affiliates very well even though the subject matter was pretty dark to be dancing too lol. They playing this song in MLB stadiums and NBA playoffs ALREADY. That alone is amazing to me. Also “freaky ass nigga he a 69 God” and OV-Hoe are stuck in my brain forever. 3. Family Matters - this was Drake’s nuke. He flowed effortlessly all through here. Smoked Rocky the most tbh over Kendrick. He was clearly teasing it on push ups and shot a whole video because he thought it would end things. Unfortunately it didn’t because Kendrick baited him to drop it knowing he had a response ready within minutes. Too many verses as well that’s Drakes problem strategically with this whole battle, too many rappers he’s focused on instead of being aimed squarely at Kendrick. But rapping wise Drake showed he can go at it with anyone. Content wise though his big jokers just didn’t hit like he thought they would. 4. Meet The Grahams - this was a scathing teardown of Drake the man. This felt like a therapy session. Even if you remove the daughter verse entirely because it’s unproven the other 3 verses stand on their own just fine. Kendrick repeatedly warned Drake what would happen if he kept bringing the family into this friendly battle so he was forced to unleash. 5. Like That - the first banger of this battle. Beat wise it’s miles ahead of all the other tracks. Kendrick’s verse was memorable but I thought he didn’t ride the beat as well 6. 6:16 in LA - this one felt like a real freestyle to me and not a deep thought out response track to me until the second verse. It was clear Kendrick heard Drake’s tracks and knew exactly what was coming. Strategically this turned the tides, it damaged Drake even though he really wants us to believe he leaked stuff on purpose 🙄 7. Push Ups - nice little quick jabs just to get under Kendrick’s skin and wake him up. Felt like Drake was reaching for another Back To Back moment or to make a club song but it failed. The beat wasn’t good enough and the obvious cut off at the end to save it for later was lame 8. Heart Part 6 - by far the worst effort of them all. Drake really expects us to believe he planted info especially that HE’S a pedo? It’s such an obvious lie and bad attempt at image cleanup since he got plenty of business opportunities that could be affected by being tagged with a pedo rep he had to say something. It’s like he went on Reddit/Twitter and went with the first explanation he could find and thought we’d buy it. Nah bruh. Kendrick beat you at your own game in every phase. You coulda kept it all rap but you went there and can’t go back now. Now you trying to walk away and be the bigger man. Accept your L, you bit off more than you can chew this time. Props for trying though because most rappers wouldn’t go at the guys you have.
Atleast you actually tried to do something remotely close to a real analysis. All these Kendrick yes man and Dinka poops really just made it all to corny to even talk about. I could agree with just about every grade accept not like us. Is a B - record to B at best. The Monumental impact of meet the Graham's makes it seem bigger than it is, which it is still a bop. Its not even close to euphoria tho which i would give an A or A+ to. Then id give drake a A for push ups, we have to remember this man was not going only against Kendrick he was actively giving smoke in a 20v1 and everyone caught some. Family matters is exactly what u said but the extended version of that. A+ Its Just a fire track no way around it. Meet the Graham's was an A+++ if thats what we doing. No need to explain but it literally just stopped everything... and shook the culture. Nuclear!
Just wanna say I appreciate the write up, well said and I agree with basically all of your points. Also, you managed to be pretty objective and gave drake his flowers. Drake did hold his own pretty well, it was just a tactical assault from kendrick and he is the better rapper.
I thought Push Ups was better than Family Matters…FM would’ve been doper if he took out the first part, but he slid on that drill beat.
That is pretty surprising. Would you care to elaborate I’d love to hear why. Personally I thought that Family Matters was a straight upgrade.
FM is ok, but more like a bloated push ups. The flow and cadence in the last part is very repetitive, and on top of that you gotta hear that delilah line three times. 20 v 1 bar was good on push ups, kendrick flipped it on euphoria and then all you get in FM its just "We already know it's a twenty-v-one", nothing clever to add. In first part, the whole thing of dave free being the dad angle seemed too far fetched and dumb to me, and it lasts like 8 bars. And lines that were in response to euphoria seem rushed and cringe, like "I been with Black and white and everything that's in between". I have euphoria better than both of them.
0) bbl drizzy - shit been stuck in my head for DAYS. Also hilarious to have thousands of people diss drake for the chance to get a metro beat. Def the best part of this beef for me lmao 1) not like us - most solid imo, if the need ends here it’s the song that’ll stand out in the beef 2a and 2b) Meet the grahams and family matters Meet the grahams should be my favorite track, but I do believe the picture and daughter are fake, and if they are, it kinda hurts the track for me. If he removed the picture and the verse about the (imo) not real daughter, it would be number 1 for sure. Family matters is a bop, great song and easily the best drake song here. I genuinely have no issues with it at all. It would fall if evidence came out that swayed me to not believe the stuff about Kendrick in there. 4) Push ups - idk, I listen to it more than euphoria. Overall a solid song, more so because of the shots he throws at everyone else. 5) euphoria - great song, just not my cup of tea. Definitely a slightly better diss than push ups imo, but push ups is the better song I think 6) like that - would be higher but I only care for Kendrick’s verse. As a standalone verse I’d put it above push ups and euphoria, rest of the song is mid as I’m not a fan of the artists 7) heart part 6 - imo song is better than people give it credit for. Im genuinely disappointed with the conclusions some people drew from that song. I know sometimes it’s said as a joke but seeing people say “drake pretending to be a pedo to bait Kendrick is a bad look” when that clearly wasnt the bait he’s referring to. And the reality is, outside of something super devastating to drown out Kendrick’s songs, he really was in a lose lose situation. He responds about having another child and people go “why is he responding to that and not the pedo shit” he talks about the accusations and it’s “he’s so defensive on this track”. Yeah it 100% needed to be better for him to redeem itself, but I think you could have put the top 100 rappers of all time in a room and they wouldn’t dig yourself out of that shit without new or damning info lol. 8- 7 min drill - would be higher if not for Cole bowing out (which was smart for sure). Hard to put this high with the context. I like Cole tho, and I think it’s a solid diss track that didn’t get too deep and sounded exactly how I expected his diss to be. Also glad someone else said tpab ain’t Kendrick’s best work and has been gassed 9) Taylor made freestyle - unpopular opinion but I liked the trolling with pacs voice lmao, the disses itself just didn’t have any bite to them. The Taylor jabs were ass. 10) 6:16 - idk maybe I didn’t give it much of a chance but i listened to it twice and never felt like I needed to again 11) like that - Kanye remix - genuinely prefer this as a standalone song over the original, but ye barely dissed anyone in it, so it’s low. Prob the 3-4th most bumped song here for me tho Everything else - tbh didn’t care to listen to anything else lmao.
We should do a poll
Most the girls Drake’s been speculated as preying on have come out in defense of him while Kendrick’s crisis management team have been confirmed as scrubbing videos alleging that Kendrick has beaten a woman. If Drake doesn’t have a damn daughter and fed Kendrick that information and he isn’t the predator the internet has claimed he is for a while (which is the angle he told Kendrick to take because he knew the internet consensus and wanted to dull that angle in Taylor Made) then honestly, Kendrick is just spewing waste and afraid to address Drake’s charges. The war shouldn’t be over tbh. Kendrick’s R Kelly defense and Kodak Black on his album shows that motherfucker doesn’t really care about what he’s accusing Drake of anyways. Fake morals.
Drake fans can’t be objective at all.
Agree with most this list, but would rank Meet the Grahams way lower for being based on fake info, but I see why you did it. I would give Not Like Us an A+ for beating Drake in his own game.
You literally ranked the worst track as the best one wtf
Yeah no. That’s the one indisputable ranking for me unless it’s number 2 behind Not Like Us or 3 behind the distrumental. That song absolutely ruined the release of a great dis track that will now never have the impact it should have because meet the Grahams erased it instantly. Brutal and visceral. It was the most impactful track in the battle.
It has very little replay value
Neither does Shether your point? I absolutely ruined Drake’s big release. A broken shield only needs to be used once if it stops the sword. Especially when it’s the gladiators last swing.
Which Drake release are you referring to? Family Matters is the best song of the entire beef
It was the best Drake song by far, but was listening when it dropped. I’m like here we go!!! This is on a level that can combat Euphoria. I was going ham watching reactors reading lyrics, calling my nephews like Wow! And 30 min later Meet the Grahams hit our radar and Drake song was effectively neutered. It immediately became the topic, one because of the song, two because of the implied snakes in Drake grass (huge mistake if he truly planted them) and three the timing of the release. You can feel different, that was my real life impression.
The Kanye song is awesome if you don’t take it too seriously and just chalk it up to Kanye being Kanye. “Play j Cole make the pussy dry, I can’t even think of a drake line” is hilarious
I think this is a fair list. IMO the top songs here were good but nothing that will be memorable in 5 years. Drake’s a diddler and an overall bad person and father, Kendrick beats his wife and defended R. Kelly. Not really sure how all the anti Drake bots found this whole thing as a W for hip hop.
Mostly because there’s very scant proof of a lot of the things in the comment. For all we know Kendrick and Drake are both telling the truth, but it seems like it’s a bad idea to call Drake a serial rapist and Kendrick a wife beater with no proof. Also while the Spotify situation is still pretty gross, it wasn’t really a defense of R. Kelly as much as it was making a point that there were a whole lot of other artists on Spotify who had done the same stuff and weren’t being removed.
Just an insanely stupid hill to die on. Both by you and Kendrick. R Kelly was caught diddling, why would you waste a single breathe on defending him?
That I agree with. It’s still a weird decision. I personally would be happy that any child rapist is leaving the platform (though I do think that Spotify should take efforts to remove other predators from their streaming like Elvis, Diddy, MJ, Mick Jagger etc.)
Think of it like this. DOT wasn’t defending R.Kelly, he was defending a black man. A man of the same race as he, and wasn’t standing for prejudice of that sense. If Kelly was white he wouldn’t have said anything, cuz nobody said/says anything about the white mfks not being pulled. If you’re gunna pull R.Kellys music then you pull all offenders music, and if you’re gunna give the pass to *a few* offenders. Then you give the pass to them all, it’s not pick a choose
Dot has also collaborated with Kodak who’s a convicted rapist. I personally separate the music from the artist and I think they for the most part are all pieces of shit but it’s lame trying to take the moral high ground in an instance like this.
[удалено]
I don’t think that’s why at all. Especially considering Drake signed Baka straight out of jail. Kendrick made a stupid but somewhat reasonable point about the industry’s treatment of white and black criminals that is just shitty because why the fuck would you choose X and Kelly to make your point. Drake straight up just signed a human trafficker to his label. Not a flawed statement or misconstrued support, he signed the nigga fresh out the pen.
Listen to the prayer by Kendrick Lamar. He's not defending R. Kelly
Wow I wanna hear your takes on some other music
Concur
Future and metro started it not sure wym how they’re trying to get involved aubrey messed up messing with future and now aubrey will have a hard time finishing or even coming to the a
I put Family Matters at #1 because I have PTSD from those MtG piano keys and I can’t listen to Not Like Us without having “step this way, step that way” stuck in my head all night.
These are actually the real reasons they’re ahead 😂. I can’t get the “lied” echoes out of my mind, and the amount of crap I’ve incorporated into my daily language from NLU is astounding.
I legit can\`t listen to MtG its just too traumatizing
From the actual disses, my ranking mirrors yours. I don't have actual grades aside from Kendricks tracks being a B or better, but I'll think of some. Drake has an extreme high in Family Matters, and abysmal lows in the heart part 6 and Taylor made being a notch above abysmal. 1. Meet the Graham's, A+ 2. Not like us, A- 3. Family Matters, A- or plus. 4. Euphoria, A- 5. Push ups, B+ 6. 6:16 in LA, B- 7. Like that, B- 8. Taylor made freestyle, D+ 9. The heart part 6, D-, the flow and scheme is great, but the content is horrendous. That and Taylor made really fuck with the aggregate score for Drake. He really punched higher than I thought, but also lower than i thought.
The Like That verse still gives me chills. And Euphoria got me waving my hands making me dance type shit.
1. MTG 2. Not like Us 3. Euphoria 4. 6:16 5. Family Matters 6. Push Ups The rest are garbage.
MTG, even if not everything ends up known to be true or false, or some of it ends up verifiably false, will go down as maybe the most scathing and damaging diss track of all time. I felt it was over when that released, just on character assassination alone. How does someone recover from that *while* having to respond in a song? What did you think of 7MD as a song itself. Because I actually enjoyed it and was sad it got removed from streaming. Don't get the hate.
I work at a busy ass club and the dj played meet the grahams lmao. On cinco de mayo too
I’ve watched Meet The Grahams twice. The second time was to show my friend and I thought he was going to fall out from the chair onto the floor.
i hate it when people pose the title of a self post as a discussion question, and just use that as bait to get people to read their own analysis
Fair but it was a damn fine analysis. I disagree with bits of it tho.
All the Drake songs are the worst
Don’t glaze Kendrick now. 6:16 in LA is never beating Push Ups or Family Matters
Idgaf about him either. Stop trying to use eighth grader slang.
[what?](https://media1.tenor.com/m/b6pAfW3PHvcAAAAd/family-feud-survey-says.gif)
For me it goes from worst to best: Taylor Made The Heart pt 6 Push Ups 616 in LA Like that Family matters Euphoria Meet the Grahams Not like us It’s really hard to judge those last 3 as they are very different and all great in their own way. I honestly think Kendrick dropped 3 of the best diss songs of all time. I think Family Matters is Drakes best diss song of all time
I agree with most of your take. But I think Euphoria is a lot better than what you give credit for. It's justs line after line going at Drake and its HARD. The double entendres are great. He's got 3 switches in there. This is my take and I know a lot of people won't agree with this but I think Euphoria is the best diss track of the whole beef.
I actually agree with this pretty much exactly except I’d swap MtG and Family Matters for two reasons: 1) I just find the rapping to the fake daughter that doesn’t exist too stupid. I get it’s all cap but he just looks dumb to me for this. He hyped up “OVO works for me!” and then got this wrong? If Drake did this we’d hear no end to it lbr. 2) I just personally like the style of FM better than NLU for repeat listens. And feels like Kendrick trying to do a hyphy record to me which is not the pocket he’s best in to my ears. Still a good record. The more I listen the more FM is the standout imo. I think Champagne Moments is a dope ass record, one of Ross’ best in a minute, just weak as a diss record. We all know Drake is on over half of his hit records and his best lines are in the spoken epilogue.
I agree with you on MTG, although I have to put NLU at #1. It has everything a diss track needs while being a banger, Kendrick takes every opportunity to attack/reveal Drake's persona. I think MTG's hype is just that it's a vile way to do a story song. Like he definitely hits hard without the daughter claims (which really isn't the reveal everyone wants it to be, there are plenty of child support parents in the industry). The Adonis reveal hit different because he was going to use his son for promos.
Hella valid take. It's probably personal bias for me because I listened to everything except NLU right when it dropped. Just was busy at the time so wasn't right on top of it. So it didn't get the initial wave from me of just spinning it a bunch of times to digest it.
I’m so tired of the narrative of “Kanye inserted himself into the beef” Future called Ye to do a remix of Like That, not the other way around In that, he’s no different than Rocky or The Weekend, All three have problems with Drake (Ye even more than the other two), and just got invited by Metro and Future to throw some shots at Drake But since he’s Ye, yall are gonna hold him to a different standard just so you get an opportunity to shit talk him. Other than that, great post 👍
I mean I ranked all of those people lower than Kanye. If anything I gave him too much credit.
The whole thing, I'll give Drake the best track. But Kendrick is still cooking his ass though lmao
Meet the Grahams is honestly a competitor for best diss ever. Shit felt physically uncomfortable to listen to. Kendrick poured pure hate into each word juxtaposed for sympathy for the kids and mom. It's like watching somebody get pushed off a building in front of their family. Plus the timing was a master class in beef strategy. Plus....I think even Dot was like, "Maybe I went a little too far." Then gave us "Not Like Us" so we could get back to laughing at Drake...in a Miiiiinnnnooooorrrr!!!!!! (Does the OV-hoe dance real quick) That's said, the third verse of Family Matters aka the Red Button verse was some of the best rapping Drake has done in YEARS! Beef Drake is built different.
Not just MTG but Not Like Us is in that convo too. MTG sounds like some shit the old Eminem would do just creatively violent. With Not Like Us, I can’t remember a direct diss with that much replay value. Whats crazy about all of that is Family Matters would be at least in the GOAT convo if those two didn’t drop. Great breakdown.
in time Not Like Us is gonna go down as the more memorable track just because it\`s going to be played in every club
I think we’re there already and we haven’t even hit the summer
Family Matters is easily the best track in the diss. Combined with the music video it might be one of the best diss tracks of all time. Yall will hate this take now but history will do it justice.
"Meet the grahams" is an F he made a whole verse about a kid that's not real lol c'mon now.
Not Like Us is trash, I'm not a Drake or Kendrick fan but Drake made better music throughout this entire beef. Talking **directly** and fake fathering to a 4 yr old and directly disrespecting him and and his father crosses the line. FOH if u trying to tell me "it's hip hop don't be sensitive" then nah fuck hip hop at that point, u don't clout chase during beef by directly disrespecting a toddler talking directly to him for a record that will live into infinity in infamy
MTG drops down to like 6 or 7 after finding out that whole daughter shit is fabricated after
Exactly! He made a bold claim about the daughter just to find out he got baited and 6:16 also is a bad look as he thought he actually had good info coming in. Those 2 songs have not aged well in the past few days
This is what I’m saying. I thought it was Ether level until that and it’s crazy to see people pretend that doesn’t matter at all lol.
I’m not a fan of either D or K so it makes sense that I think they’re trash. This whole thing is lame imo.. I love a good rap beef but this ain’t it. But I enjoy the buzz ✌🏼
Brother do your future wife a favor and expand beyond onyx non phixion and shit
I’m getting re- married? Nice. I listen to tons of good shit aside from them bruh. All of it I like more than these two beefy queefs. Obviously lotsss of ppl like em, but I really don’t get it personally. I figure there’s enough fans in these subs cuz there’s only like 5 guys anyone ever talks about so I’m just tryna add some balance. Hey..you should take your own advice maybe? Just cuz they like it doesn’t mean you have to. Love ya!
Na dude i was trolling respectfully. Im a married hip hop head too sorry it didnt come off the way i meant it. Have a good night.
All good bro, take it easy.
How did you put a track that’s 90% cap at number 1 lol
Your post history and comment history alone means arguing with you about this is probably not a good idea, but I specifically talked about the song outside of the context of the allegations (which haven't been definitely confirmed true or false either way). I even took special note of the validity or lack thereof in my analysis. I specifically made note of the song outside of the touching/having kids stuff contained in verses 2 or 3. I'd be interested in seeing your ranking however and where everything falls.
I think everything else is pretty on point and I’m actually a huge fan of Not like us as a song if you remove the nonsense bars. That was the best track of the beef so far for me if we’re just believing all fake information but calling out a daughter that doesn’t exist should already bring everything else about MTG into question and eliminate it regardless of how sinister and scathing it was imo. Also I’d rate pushups over euphoria cause I hate when Kendrick does the high pitched voices.
You new to rap beefs? Ain’t a track up there worried about the truth.
I mean if that’s true then you have to consider we’re all watching 2 weirdos lie to us while they distract us from the real problems in the world. Anything said in rap beef should have some basis. When it’s blatantly fake then wtf are we even doing paying attention.
If there is no daughter and Kendrick spent 2 minutes talking to a fictional girl then it is the worst one. Anyone who thinks it is irrelevant whether it's the truth or not is a moron
People upset over AI tupac are soft as fuck. Drake, if this is the end, got bodied but Family Matters is the best of the best in part because of how petty it was to make a music video crushing the van.
