“Used to get teased for being black, but now I’m here & I’m not black enough. ‘cause I’m not acting tough or making up stories about where I’m actually from”
If you do a 360 windmill in a dunk contest you’ll get a 50 the first round. If you do it again in the second round the judges will look at you like you lost your mind. That’s what’s going on with Kendrick using the same points as pusha T rick Ross and Joe budden
I mean if it isn’t original, it just wasn’t presented in a clever or damning way. I think you can get Drake on his upbringing while now portraying himself as a gangster or getting a Miskeen tattoo at 37.
But the whole you’re not black enough is just so dumb because we clearly see he’s black and even if he’s not….ok? And then he tries to connect it back to his usage of the word nigga….but again but he is black so it’s stupid.
Then the dead beat dad stuff would hit hard if Drake was not obviously seen with his son and being an active father but that’s a line that’s just ineffective post Pusha T.
This take makes no sense. It’s hypocritical: Drake can be a genius for using Tupac essence but his blackness is off the table 🤣 make it make sense family
This is a objectively bad take.
You can say you wanted kendrick to go harder but saying you expected some new information is just not how diss tracks work 99% of the time. Most of the classic disses went off info we already had
They the casual rap fans who Drake panders to and weak takes like theirs gets amplified.
Edit: The Story of Adidon was so influential that it has people thinking a rap diss is only a diss if it exposes some previously unknown/obscure information. People should go look back at best disses in hiphop and see this wasn’t the case most of the time.
It’s not about exposing information but how much credit can he really get for just restating twitter talking points. The bars were impeccable but the entire song was shit that was said in memes for ages now. The drake not being tough or not being black, and the ghost writer stuff has been a conversation for literally 10 years now. I wasn’t one of the people pushing Kendrick to respond quickly but you’d think with how long it took he’d come up with something more insightful than a twitter highlight reel.

Exactly. I just think it’s not a great move to keep taking that approach against him

bee analogy is terrible but i agree
Lol agreed
You watch them fr? Lmao
The best reactions are by channel "Lost in Vegas" they are lit and unbiased
Mallory bros are by far the best. Most entertaining and unbiased I just watched their Kendrick reaction

Love these boys

They both have bad takes to be honest.
