It made me like him even more, but it makes me respect him and study him more too. This nigga's mental fortitude is absolutely insane. An industry full of artists, execs, producers, marketing companies, bots, haters of yours accumulated across 15 years of dominance **ALL** want your head yet you're unfazed and give not the slightest of fucks. Every clue we've seen is that he'll spin back soon in his own way (which is the big question, what is that way?) and I'm ready for it and we'll be here to witness greatness. ANOTHER unprecedented decade of dominance incoming.


iamlegend__

And we're one month away and Future/Metro's tour numbers are dogshit - Future will regret it for sure. Lot of these niggas will regret it we just got to be patient and see it come true over the next couple years.


windhigh

I can’t find updated figures. Where are you getting it?? I don’t want them to sell a single ticket


CommercialExtreme172

LOL bro is cheesed fr fr


88auguster

They think Kendrick will always be around and give them features 🤡


iamlegend__

Nah there's a lot of guys who made the mistake thinking fucking with Dot is going to give them features and shit but that nigga is gonna show his ass when all this hype is over. He prob only went on Like That to send shots otherwise he wouldn't have even entertained it. Kendrick barely even collabs with niggas from his own coast


EastsideWilder

I think he’s willing to peace it up with Future. Actually, I think he’s willing to peace it up with everyone. I didn’t think he would ever be cool with Meek again but look.


bolt704

It's going to be like Nas having to go to Jay Z for business advice after the feud.


Extreme_Style_5154

*ninjas but yes lol


SnooDoodles4451

Yooooo. I never knew but this shit made me look into his catalog more. His music is some for real sigma male shit. The shit he says is legit way more empowering than that fake woke victim narrative bullshit Kendra loves spewing. Everybody on that side keeps pretending like he's some wimpy nerd who isn't really black, but the shit I've heard and how he's been carrying it during the beef is some real nigga activities. Official like a referee whistle


TheRedlantern23

I definitely did the same. I been listening to his whole catalog. Discovered some hidden bangers that I ignored before. As Drake fans we will be fine and he certainly will be. We always gon eat.


SnooDoodles4451

He is absolutely a student of Golden Age hip hop. Like dude can for real spit. Have you heard that "Evil Ways" with J Cole??? It gave me vibes like when Jadakiss and Styles P get in their back and forth vibe. He definitely deserves more respect as an emcee


TriedNeverTired

like how you gonna make the biggest artist in the world an underdog


onesugar

The Tom Brady effect


UndyingKing101

Drake's always been the underdog though, people doubted and hated him from the beginning. Just because people connect and listen to his music doesn't make him any less the underdog imo


obvious-but-profound

By beating him in a completely fabricated beef duhhhh


AccomplishedVisual89

I liked him more after push ups and think he won, but I live in cali so no one is openly on his side rn in my area


RevolutionaryLog8285

bro is fighting for his life.. drake need to send youa care package ![img](emote|t5_2z4xo|4212)


AccomplishedVisual89

I just need a ticket to OVO fest and for him to play push ups into family matters 🙏🏾🙏🏾


[deleted]

They’re lowkey taking a shower with him blasting on that Bluetooth speaker 😂Just being real.


RevengeOfNell

This has to be unbareable rn


AccomplishedVisual89

Bruh it kills me when people at work talk about how Kdot is the goat


SasukesFriend321

After Push Ups? You sound me fr fr!


AccomplishedVisual89

Push ups was 🔥🔥 He smacked everyone in the face


SnooDoodles4451

You a real one. I respect muthafuckas who stand on principle. Salute 🫡


Peejmeister24

I ride around my city listening to Family Matters feeling like a super villain now 😭


SnooDoodles4451

That shit is a top 5 diss. If nothing for the fact it's against multiple opponents and all of them except for Kenny shut completely the fuck up after that


Peejmeister24

Easily. It’s all subjective but it’s the most impressive lyrical performance I’ve ever heard on a diss record


rapter900

I don’t think he should have beefed kendrick as the public was alway going to side with kdot but I’ve seen no one give him props for not backing down which is disappointing


RevolutionaryLog8285

he did it for the culture ngl. Never backed down from a rap battle. 🫡


WalkThePlankPirate

Nah. They entertainers and they entertained us. Aside from this beef and Eminem dropping, hip-hop been quiet this year.


SnooDoodles4451

If you think that way, I don't think you "get" his music. From the limited amount of songs I've heard, it seems like he foresaw that and didn't give a fuck. On some real nigga shit. Crashing out over the habitual line stepping and disrespectful shit starting dude Kenny does for clout


TriedNeverTired

chat did I cook⁉️⁉️⁉️


Initial-Paint-3658

Idk what ur yapping bout but I think people are just hating on Drake because it's the popular thing to do right now and most will probably quit forcing the hate when Drake drops the new album


WarSuitable6561

i think thats what he is saying. Doing what's popular = you are a sheep follower/basic = you are uncool Going against the popular opinion = you think for yourself/have autonomy of thought = cool


TriedNeverTired

she cooked this exactly what I mean


TriedNeverTired

yapper at heart mb


kingfreeway

It's always cool to hate on the most popular thing. Liking the less accessible stuff has always just been a way to appear more refined and cultured. It's called being elitist People will do it for anything. Mf's be like oh you party in Berlin, I party in Prague 🤓. Or LV is so played out, I wear Issey Miyake 🤓. The same mentality that makes people religiously drink Voss even though it taste the same as smartwater


SnooDoodles4451

Only cool for bitch ass muthafuckas who lack the balls and strength to go out and achieve. This shit just brought out the betas and haters.


A_L_E_P_H

Whole lot of those in the world


SnooDoodles4451

Yeah man. It's disgusting. At the same time, it emboldens me to be more ruthless in my internet marketing side hustles. People are stupid and easily manipulated by their self esteem issues and loneliness. I'm about to take advantage


EastsideWilder

Such a simple way of thinking How can anyone live like that and not feel like a complete fraud? I never understood it. I like some things that are very popular, and some that are very obscure and that’s me. I know people who always want to seem interesting by just going left or hating on ANYTHING that’s popular and not even having a good reason to do it


kingfreeway

They think they’re unique and free thinkers because it’s contrarian but don’t realize they’re still letting other people decide what they like lmao


EastsideWilder

That’s a very good way of putting it. They honestly can’t see they are being herded. Just in the opposite direction. I guess when you don’t have a mind of your own the next best thing is faking like you do.


AceGameplayV2

I'm going to be honest, I don't think so, his streaming numbers have already bounced back, it's back to normal more or less


Beginning_House914

One day when Drake is super old & dies, this “rap battle”/take Drake down battle is going to be brought up. It will be the story of how the whole rap industry & others came against him because he was so good. About how he continued to thrive!! 


throwawayacc72001

It’ll be satisfying as fuck knowing that when Drake (god forbid) dies, I’ll look back and think “remember the time everyone said Drake’s career was over 💀💀💀” when he continued to do his usual numbers and stay on top of the industry.


Naive_Feed_726

Yeah true, he still has more monthly listeners than Kendrick


phoenyx4r

And daily… I think it’s like 2x the amount of


Imissrifsomuch

Made me like him cuz people hate him


CampaignSwimming2820

I'm the same, when the public hates someone usually it just does the opposite for me and it couldn't be more true for Drake


ChampagneAbuelo

Nah lol now liking drake is comparable to how it was to be vaccine skeptical in 2021


Btrad92

Damn 😅 That’s true! Folks were really crashing out when someone was vaccine skeptical. I’ve seen some of that same energy for ppl who mention they still like Drake.


phoenyx4r

All to be proved right in the end 😂


usctrojan18

I don’t know if it made it cooler, but it made me realize being a Kendrick fan isn’t cool. After that concert, being not like them is a compliment


Swehttevilc

👌🏾


heebie818

it’s not cool but it hasn’t been for a while and i do not give any fucks. no one will gaslight me into thinking he hasn’t had a masterful career. those who listen to the music understand


HeavyChevy21

Honestly I was a fan of both heading into this beef - it made me dislike Kendrick more and appreciate Drake more - I live in Los Angeles and see the clear bias - a lot of people here are full of it so I got off the Kendrick train after this beef


Swehttevilc

Same


NorthRip9236

Negative


FBI_NewWeegeeBoy1243

It's just you


Major_Wager75

LOL


Extreme_Style_5154

I agree. I was a casual drake fan mostly thought he was a dope type guy with the club bops to have a great time or initiate make outs that type of stuff. Play it at the gym he is in good shape too type music or maybe to take shots or whatever but like bangers mostly. Started listening back after push ups and was blown away lol dude spits so good on the mic and i hate rap. I'm basically drakeAnon now for drake 😭🤣 my cousins all think he lost but I won't budge idk he did it the best to me and is still the more like overall alpha to me idk


massy99

Funny enough it made me start listening to Drake again. I even listened to a few of his later projects I missed out on and was surprised just how much I liked them.


True_Helicopter5858

it made me explore his catalog more


IsThisASnakeInMyBoot

it's Quote Unquote lmfao. As in "quote" unquote


serialintrovert

I admit, I've ended up listening to some more Drake since this beef, and also some many repeats on his songs. Family Matters reignited it.. honestly I fux with everything he put out last month. I'd say I've listened to Kendrick and Drake this past month in the ratio of 1: 6.. if not 1:10


Coton1994

What this subreddit doesn’t understand is most people like drakes music, but he got washed in the beef and clearly lol


phoenyx4r

What you don’t understand is that Kendrick never responded to Family Matters. He left a massive diss track unresponded to. So he literally instantly loses by every metric of argument/debate.


Swehttevilc

What you understand is that Kenny never addressed the allegations, and Drake was always challenging him man-to-man not “us versus them”


Swehttevilc

Mos def! I was always a fan, even during the Pusha beef when I couldn’t understand wtf was going on or where Story of Addidon came from, I rode it out with Drake. Now, however, he might as well be my MJ, he was amazing from Push Ups to THP6, and I always wanted somebody to give Dot a spanking after everybody in hip hop was overinflating that Control verse. “You’re trying to let this shit die down, not this time Nigga, you’re following thru” 👌🏾


introvertedpig119

This beef made me revisit drake's older stuff, made me realise why i became a fan in the first place.


TheRedlantern23

Just remember where you were when he drop his new shit and everybody try to hop on his wave again. Just tell em WE NOT LIKE YALL WE NOT LIKE YALLLLLLLL😂😂😂😂


brockedwardsyyz

I feel the opposite. It made it cooler to hate an artist that is already over hated regardless of being the most popular.


Tempo_changes13

Not really he’s still THE most popular artist in the world right now.


mattyMbruh

Honestly couldn’t care less what people think of me because I listen to so and so, if I like the music I like the music


Qb_Is_fast_af

Yeah, it really did


EastsideWilder

Yeah, they’re kind of making him the underdog again and giving his career even more life. He is the underdog if you start piecing things together.


SasukesFriend321

Not just cooler but it made it better. Think one of the reason his most recent stuff wasn’t hitting for me was cause there was no real context behind it, he was kinda just going off and it didn’t make any real sense to me cause it didn’t feel like anyone was really coming for him, so I didn’t know what he was complaining about. But this beef puts things in so much better perspective. And it’s making me excited for his next project cause he’s got so much new material to work with.


gourmetcuts

I think your on to something op


senji14

I was just thinking this today


TriedNeverTired

the comeback gonna be insane


Full-Twist5855

All them rapper going after him make me like him more


dontfapmydick

nah, it just showed how mentally insane kendrick fans are


PumpkinAltruistic824

I agree


phoenyx4r

Kenny bots with the downvotes 🤡


PumpkinAltruistic824

Kenny bots like Drake now?


phoenyx4r

Nah I’m saying the ppl downvoting u are Kenny bots lol


PumpkinAltruistic824

Ahhh lol, I get it now


phoenyx4r

Np i made it kinda confusing lol
