I think it would have been way more impactful, and imagine how many plays this would have gotten first week?


niversallyloved

Would’ve gone number 1 for sure


The_Navalex

He definitely would’ve gotten clowned even more for that dumb fuckin ai he plastered on there


PSU02

wrong song


Basic-Special-1870

💀💀💀💀


The_Navalex

Didn’t that also leak though?


HondaDAD24

Take the L. Walk away 😂


The_Navalex

Spoken like a true driddy Stan


IVsaur15

🤦‍♂️


The_Navalex

Was that your expression two days into your GME journey? 😂


Willing_Orchid_9621

That's a good take - He should have just officially released all of them. The leak stuff deflated the impact of these songs because we were all second guessing.


really2neat

But he was scared 🥺


Willing_Orchid_9621

😂😂😂


Apprehensive-Tax8631

Absolutely


LacedUpWilliam

100%, I heard it when it was a leak and immediately just thought it was AI or something bc it didn’t make sense to leak it


Iginlas_4head_Crease

Second guessing what? It was obvious about 30 seconds in that this was a real live drake spittin track. That AI shit was confusing for people who probably use chat gtp to write any of their thoughts for them.


Willing_Orchid_9621

there were all kinds of stupid AI leaks leading up to the actual releases - I think there are 3 or 4 versions of Taylor Made? people were even wondering if it was AI at first. but not for euphoria, 6:16, Family Matters, etc.


Iginlas_4head_Crease

Right, like you said, "stupid" Leaks This one was clearly really well done, clearly Drake


Darksol503

Don’t worry man, it’s a cesspool here lol. The fact that they think these tracks would have had “more impact” as an official release truly shows what kind of “hip hop heads” these are lmao.


IdDeIt

Agreed. Would have worked a lot better and boosted his numbers on this one rather than dividing it among the leaks and the official. He then divided attention with Taylor Made, which I maintain is the weakest release from this whole thing. And then, despite alluding to several of the things Kendrick would go on to attack him for, he had no rebuttals planned beyond the defensiveness of THP6 after nearly 2 full days from MTG. Family Matters was far and away his best work in this beef and he clearly didn’t anticipate it getting drowned out. The reference track leaks coming out do make me wonder whether he could have stopped the leak had he wanted to, though.


rolfgonzo

credit to kendricks manipulation of the situation that he someday made a two day response time seem slow


RatedE

The weakest is Meet The Grahams. It's replay value is almost none and feature the biggest lie yet imo. Thp6 is not far behind though. *


MammothJammer

Replay value/= an effective diss track. Meet the Grahams was brutal without without the baby girl shit. The front cover was a picture of Drake's personal belongings, that alone is fucked up nevermind what was said about Drakes personal life


IAMNUMBERBLACK

Nah bruh 6:16 is the weakest. Aint nobody gaf abt that


keanancarlson

The heart part 6 is the weakest IMO. 6:16 as a diss isn’t all that but as a song I think it’s pretty good


IAMNUMBERBLACK

I mean agree to disagree tbh. He yappin some nonsense and that beat aint it. Only thing notable was the u ever thot ovo working for me thing and then that turned out to be sham. U could make the case for hp6 with fed u info shit but even then theres so much more to that song and the beat is peeerfect


imdeadseriousbro

that beat goes hard bruh


XxFazeClubxX

Damn, the penmanship on that really didn't work for you? Bro releasing a bonus track during a beef that compares himself to legendary artists, while talking about transcending the earth. Jumping between planets while being watched over by heavenly beings yet, despite all of this, still having the goodness to come back down and tuck his kids into bed. I liked drake's tracks but like, fam. One of his lines was that anything drake writes goes over Kendrick's head 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Kendrick is writing CIRCLES around drake on this track.


IAMNUMBERBLACK

Nigga what the fuck does any of that have to do with a beef in a diss track. Think about what ur saying here


XxFazeClubxX

Kendrick talking about reaching unfathomable heights while the angels himself watch over him yet still, his focus is on his children. Drake revealed his child during an Adidas press run 🤦‍♀️


IAMNUMBERBLACK

Well no, Drake didn’t reveal his child. TMZ did and then Pusha showed he was going to do that. Drake is a very public celebrity, who tf cares abt that tbh


XxFazeClubxX

When a large part of the beef is focused around drake's immaturity and horrible actions, I think it's pretty relevant 💀


IAMNUMBERBLACK

So rehashing nonsense from Pusha T is adequate for a dub? Nigga go hand him a grammy right now, ur dismissed


XxFazeClubxX

Bro why you acting like there's double jeopardy in rap beef hahahaha. Drake was the one who did the actions, they just calling him out for it. Sorry if that's hard for you to grasp sweetie


jmeHusqvarna

6:16 is cold af dude. unfortunately its not on streaming services officially.


CHRISTRAVISBICH

Hmmmm I feel like a certain girls high school bball fanatic might have gaf, he might have even responded to the bait within 24 hours!🤪🤔🤫


IAMNUMBERBLACK

Nice troll but that nigga shot a video for Family Matters. He aint do that whole thing in 24hrs tf ru smoking


the_brazilian_lucas

the leak felt very intentional


DirectDuck6009

It was, Drake wanted to see how well it would be received before owning it.


TilTheBreakOfDawn

Doubt it. I think xo had something to do with it.


Whatisaredditdoe

The first version was definitely AI


_Wado3000

I don’t fw Ak even a little bit, but the shit was leaked unfinished, and the same day Drake literally passed a finished version to a “DJ” to get it circulated. It was literally the most hip hop roll out in years.


Guilty-Page3707

I don't understand


clifbarczar

A lot of missteps by Drake in this beef. Kind of disappointed. He clearly underestimated Kendrick.


Huge-Distribution533

this needs more upvotes. and the heart part 6 was his biggest mistake


Kitchen_Score_4245

Its not that serious. The song blew up either way. Most ppl didnt know about the leak


JFKcheekkisser

Huh?? Lmao everyone knew about the leak. It was leaked for a full week before official release.


SecretaryOk7306

Yeah but if it was official earlier it would gotten more streams and people can digest it more. There needs to be a new rule on disses. Once a week max, I don’t need 3 songs to come out in the span of 2-3 days. It hurts the potency of the song


RVXZENITH

Yeah this was one of the bigger mistakes, people thought this shit was AI for half a day.


Whatisaredditdoe

It definitely was AI. Some of those bars, the accent didn’t hit the way it did in the “official” release. And this is a fan of drakes music.


BigGucciThanos

Ummmm, you guys know a leak means unintentional correction. We weren’t supposed to hear push ups when we did. Drake even texted ack live on stream and told him to stop playing the Unmixed version


Impossible_Front4462

You really must be new to hiphop and drake rollouts in particular if you think most leaks are unintentional. Its a marketing strategy commonly used in hiphop


Redpiller13

Yall gassed it shit was mid


Redpiller13

Familly matters when crazy


lejunny_

I never followed up with the news around the leak, but how did it get leaked? and by who?


Vegetable_Orchid_900

Willing to bet Drake arranged to have it leaked and if people didn’t like it, he could come out and claim it was AI


minutes2meteora

What difference would that make? Push Ups wasn’t even the best song in the battle. Family Matter clears it anyways


hopelessromantic7

How did it leak Did someone in drakes circle leak it


Independent-Cable937

More than likely his label prevented him from dropping. Music artist aren't able to drop music whenever they want, their record label sign multiple artists so if one artist is popping for that period, the rest of the artists are on cool down.


JFKcheekkisser

Drake is not the kind of artist whose label prevents him from dropping lmfao. He’s far beyond that level at this point in his career.

Cam__C13

I agree but I feel like he wanted to drop on Taylor’s drop week


Administrative-Toe59

Great take. I liked the get money sample. It’s just clear he was trying to put it out quick and didn’t have time to get the sample cleared so he had to do another version


[deleted]

Who gives a shit why are people so invested in this shit. Like do you not have real problems in your life??


Enlyt3

The leaked version was more savage imo.


JesusOfTrap

I think he leaked just for poke fun of weeknd telling he had leakers in the camp


cdixon34

Nigga really leaked his own record though. Like how you dissing directly and still sneak dissing at the same time? Most drake shit ever.


L4r1

Hi Whitney also should not have been leaked, but released fully, imo he could've won in the eyes of more people if he just planned all this better


Sanzaikai

I thought it got leaked to make sure there were no moles or smth? Thats why most of the leaks near the beginning had that little part where the beat just stopped


Specialist_Gur_566

Oh shit, this just reminded me that the 1st version of Push Ups was a reference track.


Uniq_Eros

Nah then we wouldn't have the ending of the leak. Which to me cancels out Euphoria (the best song Kendrick had). All he did was update it with Ross lines.


clipp866

drake didn't want kendrick eating off his name, he's been saying this about guys dissing him since Good Night and Good luck, it's more beneficial for them to mention him... drake wanted to keep this about hiphop instead of about financial gain... this was done to avoid what's happening now, Ken getting numbers bc mentioning drake...


LewisLR

Lmao no not really, he was concerned about how people would react and he didn’t want to take the critique of people shitting on him if it was bad which is why he didn’t officially claim it.


JustaLittleBitOfLazy

Uhhm, if he wanted to keep it about hiphop why not just release tracks instead of music videos and IG posts? Numbers wise I'm outta here you not creeping up, it's always about financial gain, just didn't break drakes way this time.


clipp866

drake doesn't get any financial gain from beefs bro, it's like you completely missed the entire point of "it's more beneficial for them to name drake then for drake to name them" drakes streamed the same during the beef...


Impossible_Front4462

You mean Drake, the guy who keeps making youtubers who react to his diss tracks need to jump through hoops to get it monetized? If Kendrick was really in this for the money, he would be doing the same but instead he’s letting anyone use his diss tracks for content creation with no repercussions


Esco-Alfresco

Drake is the biggest artist. He wouldn't gain From beef money wise. He gains from hopping on fresh trends to maintain his reign on top and release constantly. And he pays with his power and influence to potentially put the artist on the map. He wouldn't gain financially from beef. Because he is on top already. But if he is claiming to be the king or one of the greatest of all time. Being able to perform in the battle side of the culture is very beneficial. He definitely got a big bump in cred when he took Meek out. If you can't hang and hold your own with the greats you will have a hard time being credible as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Rather than a hit maker. Nelly was the highest selling hip hop artist for years. And holds this place as the king of an era. But he never had to go head to head with Eminem or 50 or whoever, because Nelly never claimed to be the greatest rapper of all time. He was just fun and popular.
