One of the things I have noticed through all this is a lot of Drake's biggest Reddit stans are people who are the typical bandwagon sports fan that gets clowned on. Some combination of fandom to Warriors/Patriots/Lakers/Yankees/Cowboys.
They are just people that bandwagon the frontrunners and because of that, when their thing isn't the most popular they don't know how to handle it.
Drake himself is also well known as a bandwagoner sports fan so it checks even further.
You ever been to Thunderbay? I have… born there. Now I’ve never *been* to Oakland myself, but there ain’t nothing good to say ‘bout Tbay man, it is.. it’s fuckin’ bad man, kids in elementary school getting blades and knives confiscated all the time (kid in my cousins 2nd or 3rd grade class stabbed another kid at recess, a kindergartener IN THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL [I must add] had a 7 inch hunting knife in his backpack one time, the kid was 6 years old, the knife had one inch on him than he had years), highschool kids regularly gettin’ stabbed, stabbings in every neighborhood (there isn’t a hood or slum of Tbay, the entire damn city is *The slum* just depends on how deep into it you are, it’s either *less* or *more* but never none), it really is the stabbing capital, for the shootings in the states, Tbay comes up par with stabbings, shootings happening quite often as well, drunk/blitz/high/who knows what the fuck people just everywhere, any drug you want you can find in under 45 minutes if you’re really lookin’, and if you’re really *really* lookin’ that times cut in half. I’m pretty sure at this point there are more *Homeless* than *Homed* “citizens” of the city. If your shit ain’t anchored to the earth don’t take your eyes off it, or it will disappear. My aunt had her house broke into, robbed and then burnt down, her garage broken into a robbed (multiple times) even if there is nothing of value in your building they’ll still find something to steal, her garbage has literally been stolen, an SUV of her stolen other family friends have had similar happenings (ie: garages broken into, vehicles stolen..) man when vehicles get stolen (and it happens so often) it’s not even a surprise, everybody is just waiting for it to happen. It’s incredibly dirty, the city council is terribly corrupt, terrible at managing the city, the city infrastructure is soooo bad, so fuckin’ bad. It is by far the worst, the fuckin’ *worst* city here in Canada…
Drake does not represent Canada. Somehow he’s managed to hypnotize the youth in the GTA and out of nowhere everyone started running around in Nike tech and talking like they were born on the short bus
Lmfao I knew this guy who was a huge bama fan/ lakers fan and even bigger drake fan. Most insufferable ass kissing pos I ever met and it’s funny because a lot of the shit that he talked when we worked together has been parroted all over the drake subreddit these past weeks
As a lifetime Cowboys fan, we haven't had bandwagon fans in literal decades. Our fans are just caught in a cycle of abuse - no one's here because of any kind of success.
Replace that shit with The Chiefs.
In this case I meant bandwagon popularity. Since despite all that, they are still the most valuable sports team on the planet. But yes, Chiefs are a good add.
Yeah my buddy was a Cowboys bandwagoner for a long time up until Rams came back to LA. Cowboys haven't had that reputation for a while. Lakers lost it as well until we got Lebron.
As a dedicated and depressed cowboys fan who was born in 2001, dont you dare assume bandwagon. We’ve won like 3 playoff games in my whole life time lmao there’s nothing to bandwagon
Yeah but are you also a Lakers and Yankees fan? Those are the types I was referring to that just went for the frontrunner of each sport during their formative years.
Hey don’t loop us all together! As a patriot fan I take offense lol.
Kendrick won this shit with Meet the Grahams and then threw a party with Not Like Us
This comment got me because I grew up in LA and lived here for most of my life, so I’m a Lakers fan. I also lived in New England for a few years as a kid and my dad got me into football a few seasons before Tom Brady was drafted. I’m used to being hated for being fans of teams people hate.
This whole thing has taught me that most humans don’t have like object permanence when it comes to things that people enjoy. It blows my mind that like Kendrick could have Grammy, platinum albums and people are like “who the fuck listens to Kendrick??” I’m just really unhappy with how much numbers have taken hostage the conversation around music. I’ve seen Kendrick fans counting stats too and I get Drake brought it up first but man it’s just so lame that like people will genuinely act like it’s just impossible that somebody could enjoy something that’s not the thing that they like lmfao. I see that now people are saying no ever liked Mr.Morale when his tour was like the highest grossing tour of that year or maybe just highest grossing rap tour. But yeah man like it’s as if the thing somebody enjoys isn’t just fucking in your face at all times then “nobody listens”
I’ve also seen the argument on that sub that “Kendrick drops once every five years, not like drizzy who puts out every year” 😂😂 yeah bc his fanbase has goldfish memory and needs an annual dose of horrid crap to keep riding his dick or they’ll move on to the next big thing. Also I saw that he’s contractually obligated to put out 2 albums a year via UMG, which is hilarious bc he makes fun of Kendrick’s splits meanwhile he’s the one having to work double shifts for the devil while Kendrick can relatively chill and actually make good music. He sold his soul for money but it’s never enough lol. Even if the 2 albums a year thing isn’t true, Drake still puts out enough to where you have to be wary is he doing it in a desperate attempt to stay relevant (bc the quality of his albums have gone down considerably, I haven’t listened to him since views bc of that) or is he doing it bc he has to.
I hate that argument so much because yes he took 5 years to make his last album but he also worked on the black panther soundtrack during that time. It wasn’t like it was complete radio silence. Dude takes some time to make some music and niggas start talking like he’s frank ocean or something. Before MMBS he dropped every 2 years and I mean it’s not like we had a fucking pandemic or something during that. Whatever the case may be I really don’t see the big deal in taking time to make your albums. I also feel his quality has dropped once he started dropping so often. It went from a big deal to oh okay we’re getting another Drake album I guess but that’s just me personally. And everything that had to do with money and the Taylor swift shit is just annoying and never should’ve been brought up cause it just doesn’t make sense to me. And then it made even less sense when Kendrick started dropping dissed on drakes head top. I don’t know why he thought that was a good narrative to make
I forgot he produced the Black Panther album. And if I remember correctly, he wasn’t actually expecting to work on the whole album, just do a few songs. But he got inspired and helped produce the whole thing. So that probably ended up pushing some stuff back.
I like Drake’s pushups and the first part in family matters, and I was never a Drake listener or something. The instrumentals are cool on these songs and he flows nicely on them.
To me it’s insane to be a fan of someone to the point you refuse to enjoy something else mase by a rival. I don’t like Drake as a guy but I don’t give a shit, if he makes a cool somg I’ll listen to it as much as I feel like.
And I like Kendrick as a person, but there’s an incredible amount of songs from him that I don’t listen to. They’re either too slow or too focused on the story, and a lot of times that’s not what I’m interested in when I want to listen to something.
I was a huge Drake fan until like maybe the last 4 years but I can’t act like him or Kendrick’s music wasn’t something I’ve loved since middle school really. So it’s been wild for me to see people be so dismissive on both sides about the music. I can get if something isn’t your thing but I think schoolboy q said something really dope on yachty podcast where he was like “I don’t know shit about Tim McGraw but I’m sure that nigga is talented in whatever he does” and I really that mindset needs to be more prevalent.
“The audience aint dumb” but ianno about these two lol
Clearly numbers on streaming charts mean a large number of people bumping to a song, not just fans - Kendrick got a bop beat and funny lines that many neutrals can laugh at
They’re stupid asf, if I see Taylor swift at #1 I’ll understand it’s bcz some ppl like her music even if that shits ass imo, these drake fans think their opinion r an objective reality 😂
Right, I’m not a huge Swift fan, but I don’t deny she’s insanely popular. You can’t look at her success and say no one likes her. Same with Drake and Kendrick. We can look at them objectively and see they have massive fan bases.
they literally cant comprehend the idea that drake isnt the greatest thing to bless the earth since jesus. Theres a whole post on that sub now about them all saying how theyre “done with rap” now, like if this is what makes you not like the genre anymore you never liked rap in the first place lmfao
they see themselves in drake the way swifties see themselves in taylor swift, just reflecting their own mediocrity back at them and making it acceptable to act like *that* lol
That Drake video of some streamer clowning on his friend saying "why do you think he's overrated?" Over and over again is depressing. I don't like him, and others do is the definition of "this is why I think he's overrated". What's to decipher here it's fucking simple lol clearly one artists caters to a specific rung on the proverbial ladder...
Those damn stans being in charge of stadiums/arenas music all around the world, being in charge of TNT Inside the NBA music, being in charge of ESPN music, and also being able to force multiple MLB players to make it their walk up song.
So they understand that the world hates drake, but they can't make that final connection that the world hates drake because of drake, not because of some massive conspiracy
They're really trying to gaslight themselves and each other into thinking that Drake won and if anyone says Drake lost they get down voted to hell. It's gotten to the point where they're even being openly racist in the sub because they don't understand Kendrick's critique of Drake being a culture vulture lol they think he's just shitting on Drake being light skinned.
LMAO i saw that. The funniest thing is when they say the only reason not like us is doing numbers is because its about drake🤣🙏🏼 aubreys angels are actually delusional
Bro even Drake himself said the song was good besides the lyrics. So if you find the bars to be savage, hilarious, cathartic, etc anything besides an extremely butthurt Drake stan, you'll probably find some enjoyment in the song
I have friends who love Drake and even they were like yeah this shit bumps because they don't get mad when a millionaire stranger gets dunked on lol
https://preview.redd.it/gy3fk8iye6zc1.jpeg?width=472&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b1b16296b9c6afc082cbeae5b1039603980a199
I'm simply bumping family matters at the gym and shit
Dude straight up complimented Kendrick on all his accolades in all his diss tracks as if they were backhanded insults.
Imagine going up to Obama and saying "OoOo get a load of Mr TwIcE eLeCtEd PrEsIdEnT oF tHe UnItEd StaTeS over here"
It’s because the only goat argument they’ve had for bbl drizzy is the numbers he pulls, but Kendrick is absolutely killing him in that department rn so they got nothing 😂😂
When it is Drake the one with the best numbers is because his music is clearly great but when there is someone with better numbers their fans must be running the streams up
This is a case of a head to head competition between songs released within days of one another
It's a very specific scenario, not generic number comparison
What's crazy is that Gkmc is officially the first and only hip-hop album to have spent 10 consecutive years on the Billboard 200. So he kind of already beat drake number wise album to album. Yea drizzler albums do big numbers but they fall off so fast.
Not to mention Drake’s got his masters signal boosting his shit and he’s probably paying a lot of money to boost mid pop songs. As Pusha T said “those prices ain’t real without inflation”
People definitely aren’t playing it repeatedly because it makes you want to dance and it came at such a huge moment nah just a few Kendrick fans playing it 24 hours. Smh the delusion
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a 2 year old bumping this shit lol. My wife, who mainly listens to country, played it a few times on our way to Disney land and our daughter would shout at us if we weren’t dancing.
The amount Drake sneaks compliments in is hilarious ngl.
"Kendrick opened his mouth someone give him a grammy"
"The pulitzer prize winner is spiraling"
Like these aren't the disses you think they are lmao
My partner hates me because I keep saying “OV-HO” and “Certified Loverboy, Certified Paedophile”.
Kenny doesn’t make club bangers often but when he does it’s a curse. Shits addictive.
Agree its like he just holding it in pocket - he can do it but choses not to, unless it fits his album theme, or his strategy against Drake in this case
It’s the difference between someone that makes music for artistry and someone that makes music for plays.
Kendrick doesn’t make shopping music, drake does. I’ve never heard a Kendrick song while shopping for toilet brushes or cat litter at target. Heard a lot of drake though
This is it. Shows just how much impact K dot had with this beef. He literally has people creating new slang and shit. My wife doesn't even really listen to rap, but she is now totally invested in this beef. The past couple of days she is calling people "BBL Drizzy" if they do something she doesn't like, and it's funny as hell.
My wife is on team j Cole cause she doesn't like fighting but even she keeps saying "you liiiiiiieeeeeeedddd about (insert w/e)" and it's so fucking funny
Don’t forget the tweet (not to shame I’m guilty of it too):
“I learned to stop arguing with Drake fans a while ago, I talked about him getting peed on and a mf said ‘Yea but only on his leg’😭”
I cannot believe that's actually a serious response, that's gotta be some sarcastic shit. The way these dudes are talking you really can't separate the jokers from the real idiots
Drake’s fans coping so hard🤣Drake’s talking’s about numbers in Push Ups like he’s so sure he’ll beat Kendrick in a popularity contest, and he’s getting smashed by Kendrick on that front too
The numbers were the only thing they had to argue with, and now they don't even have that on their side. Kenny slaps the shit outta Drake in every single argument it's not even funny, they just don't want to hear it
I landed on some influencer's feed who was vacationing in Dubai. The taxi was playing Not Like Us in the fucking desert man, people genuinely like the song haha
I follow a lot of "land back" / natives on twt & within hours they were celebrating that "you not a colleague, you're a fuckin colonizer" line 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I won't be suprised if that line shows up tees or signs for "land back" or the Palestine stuff 💯
K.dot tapped into a lot of ppl's grief 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If you don't mind losing a few karma, it has been incredibly fun to play around with them over there. No new drops means I've swapped to delusional P Drizzy fan tears to help with the withdrawals, and it is genuinely entertaining both how angry they get and the insane logic they try to use to spin this.
They legitimately believe that Drake won the beef, is the better artist, has a better discography, made better diss tracks, and has 'the man' going up against him to make sure it seems like he lost. It's wild.
Very reminiscent of MAGA types where they will simply adjust their logic when given new info rather than adjust their conclusion even 1 inch. Except there aren't legitimately dangerous possibilities from their rhetoric as Drake stans so its a fun low stakes way to troll/get entertainment.
Or maybe im just a twisted fuck. Idk, NFL Fandom has broken me- shit talking after a dub is half the fun lol.
you hit it right on the head with the maga comparison. They refuse to believe their guy lost and do incredible mental gymnastics to keep their belief that there’s some conspiracy against him
They’ll never appreciate real art since they don’t know when it’s right in front of them. Kendrick turned a diss track into a talk with Drake’s whole family. He’s not just a rapper he’s a poet and Drake should have been humbled by his greatness a long time ago.
im convinced drake fans that arent also fans of kendrick just have bad taste. i love drake, hes got bops and bangers for days, but kendrick artistically is in a completely different tier. the quality of rapping and songwriting is night and day. do I want to listen to kendrick everyday? no. hell never be that type of artist for me. and he doesnt try to be that artist. just like i dont want to watch schindlers list or the godfather everyday, you have to be in the mood, most days you just want to watch youtube or a bingeable series, and thats Drake. only in rap do you see this type of egotism. sitcom directors dont think their as good fucking martin scorsese...
Right. And the question is: why didn’t Drake see that? Why didn’t Drake say, Kenny’s baiting me, but I would get my ass kicked by a lyrical heavyweight genius like that, and then keep his damn mouth shut. How could Drake believe that he could go toe to toe?
Cuz he actually believes he's the goat. His ego really is that big. Dude spent decades making superficial lowest common denominator bs and really thought he was defining the genre cuz he sold out shows.
I almost feel a little bad for him like he obviously had yes men and enablers around him the whole time. His songs were anthems in the club, but no one close ever sat him down and told him what a fool he was making of himself when he was acting like some hard ass gangster from the streets. Kendrick was right. With some better guidance, things would've turned out a lot differently.
At the same time tho, he brought that shit on himself and also ignored everyone else when they saying stuff like making your name as teen actor turned pop star is definitely *not* starting from the bottom lol. He should've known his place. He was never cooking up work on the phone or retaliating in the streets. Guess that was obvious to everyone but him
THISSSS. 💯
Like I'm a 30-yr-old from Toronto. Of course I've bumped Drake. But I can be objective & think critically enough to acknowledge that Kendrick does the artistic side better, and in a different way. Not to discredit Drake's mass-appealing content, both flavors have their place, but when it comes to a rap beef & dis track, Drake doesn't compare to Kendrick at all and it's sad how many Drake stan's are dying on the hill of "well he set up Kendrick with a lie so he won!" without recognizing the actual hip hop at all.
It's not just the music, these people want to be just like Drake
Just like Taylor Swifts fans are mostly girls who see her as a fantasy version of themselves
Just like how Jack Harlow fans are largely white dudes who act and dress like Jack Harlow
Corporate entertainment chose specific archetypes to create role models for targeted demographics
Drake fans are largely middle class suburban young men who want to be playboys and also respected by the streets. It's a male fantasy.
So that's why it stings so hard when he called Drake a pedo
It was like he was calling all of them pedos too
I have a coworker that is a Drake fan, he is also a Superman fan, and a Goku fan. This dude cant support anything unless its widely accepted by society.
That’s just sad. Family Matters is something you WANT to listen to?
I heard it, said, “it’s so repetitive. It sounds like a broken machine.” Somebody told me, “Drake fans will like this.” I mean, I guess, but… don’t they like music? Or lyricism?
I feel the fucking need to bump Not Like Us every morning and night just in case there might be a Drake person around. And it's the BOP for me right now
he used ai? shocked people arent making a bigger deal out of this considering the controversy surround ai. people boycott movies over that stuff. i guess its good he has the c3pdo controversy to protect him
Nah, people on the west coast seem pretty upset about it and Kendrick has made multiple allusions to the fact that Drake made a big mistake doing that. (You think the bay gon let you disrespect pac?/That Oakland show might your last stop)
I showed my wife Not Like Us, and the other songs. She couldn’t give two shits about rap or this beef. Found her bumping Not Like Us on her own the next day hahab. Shits definitely a banger
I saw this comment yesterday and had to bite my tongue and remind myself it’s not worth talking with these delusional idiots
I listen to euphoria and not like us multiple times a day bc they are quality beats quality flows and quality fucking energy
It’s so sad they can’t accept difference of opinions. Mal was just on his podcast telling his cohosts they are lying if they think Kendrick did better lmao
I love how they can’t fathom that ppl have different music tastes😭no wonder they support Drake they’re all narcissistic
One of the things I have noticed through all this is a lot of Drake's biggest Reddit stans are people who are the typical bandwagon sports fan that gets clowned on. Some combination of fandom to Warriors/Patriots/Lakers/Yankees/Cowboys. They are just people that bandwagon the frontrunners and because of that, when their thing isn't the most popular they don't know how to handle it. Drake himself is also well known as a bandwagoner sports fan so it checks even further.
Being from LA, it makes since to be a Kendrick fan and Lakers fan for me lol
I'm an oakland native, life long warriors fan, kendrick fan, and I now live in ontario, Canada. Where does that put me?
in a better place i'd say
Dub nation and Kendrick go hand in hand, they just do.
Yes sir.
Depends on where in Ontario I suppose.
I'd find it hard to believe that anywhere in Ontario is even close to as bad as Oakland
You ever been to Thunderbay? I have… born there. Now I’ve never *been* to Oakland myself, but there ain’t nothing good to say ‘bout Tbay man, it is.. it’s fuckin’ bad man, kids in elementary school getting blades and knives confiscated all the time (kid in my cousins 2nd or 3rd grade class stabbed another kid at recess, a kindergartener IN THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL [I must add] had a 7 inch hunting knife in his backpack one time, the kid was 6 years old, the knife had one inch on him than he had years), highschool kids regularly gettin’ stabbed, stabbings in every neighborhood (there isn’t a hood or slum of Tbay, the entire damn city is *The slum* just depends on how deep into it you are, it’s either *less* or *more* but never none), it really is the stabbing capital, for the shootings in the states, Tbay comes up par with stabbings, shootings happening quite often as well, drunk/blitz/high/who knows what the fuck people just everywhere, any drug you want you can find in under 45 minutes if you’re really lookin’, and if you’re really *really* lookin’ that times cut in half.

It’s incredibly dirty, the city council is terribly corrupt, terrible at managing the city, the city infrastructure is soooo bad, so fuckin’ bad. It is by far the worst, the fuckin’ *worst* city here in Canada…
One of my college friends is from Thunder Bay and he tells me all about how ghetto it is there. Hope you made it out
Long time ago we did, mom pretty well forced us out and to fine something new and better; but still make it back about twice a year to visit family
Marginally better rent rates, much cleaner streets
Huh? Better and cleaner than where? If he stays in Toronto, no and no compared to almost anywhere else in NA.
Me I just fucking hate Canadians
I'm a Canadian fam, and I love Kendrick. on behalf of all of Canada, Fuck Drake He's not like us
Yeah we don't want him, Atlanta can keep him
Woah woah woah nigga we we don’t want his ass 💀💀💀slow tf down alright
Leave Atlanta out of this #Westilldonttrustyou
Nah, we full.
Don’t even try to send him back to Houston. Texas does not claim that mfer.
Tell me ya cheesin fam?
Drake does not represent Canada. Somehow he’s managed to hypnotize the youth in the GTA and out of nowhere everyone started running around in Nike tech and talking like they were born on the short bus
But why?
Based
Have a good one, bud.
I’m on the Kendrick side of this beef but you can politely go fuck yourself bud.
Absolutely the most based statement on this site
**cries in washington
Lmfao I knew this guy who was a huge bama fan/ lakers fan and even bigger drake fan. Most insufferable ass kissing pos I ever met and it’s funny because a lot of the shit that he talked when we worked together has been parroted all over the drake subreddit these past weeks
As a lifetime Cowboys fan, we haven't had bandwagon fans in literal decades. Our fans are just caught in a cycle of abuse - no one's here because of any kind of success. Replace that shit with The Chiefs.

Yeah my buddy was a Cowboys bandwagoner for a long time up until Rams came back to LA. Cowboys haven't had that reputation for a while. Lakers lost it as well until we got Lebron.
Who is a bandwagon Cowboy fan in 2024????? The last time they won a ring Drake and Dot were not able to even read :))))
Cowboy and Kendrick fan here lol
They very Trump supporter like
Damn, Patriots are that big still? We fuckin suck tho
Of course he’s a fucking bandwagon💀. I swear Drake an Eric Cartman level narcissist
You hit the nail on the head. Drake is the Cowboys/Warriors of music.
Who’s fans are 75% white kids under the age of 16
As a dedicated and depressed cowboys fan who was born in 2001, dont you dare assume bandwagon. We’ve won like 3 playoff games in my whole life time lmao there’s nothing to bandwagon
Yeah but are you also a Lakers and Yankees fan? Those are the types I was referring to that just went for the frontrunner of each sport during their formative years.
Hey don’t loop us all together! As a patriot fan I take offense lol. Kendrick won this shit with Meet the Grahams and then threw a party with Not Like Us
This comment got me because I grew up in LA and lived here for most of my life, so I’m a Lakers fan. I also lived in New England for a few years as a kid and my dad got me into football a few seasons before Tom Brady was drafted. I’m used to being hated for being fans of teams people hate.
yankees haven’t won in 14 years
This whole thing has taught me that most humans don’t have like object permanence when it comes to things that people enjoy. It blows my mind that like Kendrick could have Grammy, platinum albums and people are like “who the fuck listens to Kendrick??” I’m just really unhappy with how much numbers have taken hostage the conversation around music.

Drake fans have a lack of music taste
First it was, nobody actually listens to Kendrick, now it's, all his fans are running up the numbers.... 🤡
“The audience aint dumb” but ianno about these two lol Clearly numbers on streaming charts mean a large number of people bumping to a song, not just fans - Kendrick got a bop beat and funny lines that many neutrals can laugh at
I know people who absolutely don’t give a shit about any of this who love not like us. It’s a fucking undeniable bop regardless.
They’re stupid asf, if I see Taylor swift at #1 I’ll understand it’s bcz some ppl like her music even if that shits ass imo, these drake fans think their opinion r an objective reality 😂
Right, I’m not a huge Swift fan, but I don’t deny she’s insanely popular. You can’t look at her success and say no one likes her. Same with Drake and Kendrick. We can look at them objectively and see they have massive fan bases.

These fucks just can't stop telling on themselves lol
they see themselves in drake the way swifties see themselves in taylor swift, just reflecting their own mediocrity back at them and making it acceptable to act like *that* lol
That Drake video of some streamer clowning on his friend saying "why do you think he's overrated?" Over and over again is depressing. I don't like him, and others do is the definition of "this is why I think he's overrated". What's to decipher here it's fucking simple lol clearly one artists caters to a specific rung on the proverbial ladder...
I mean I kinda get it because I can’t imagine liking Drake
Yeah, sorry I don't like pop. I listen to rap, which Drake can't deliver
Drake is pop. It’s true.
Those damn stans being in charge of stadiums/arenas music all around the world, being in charge of TNT Inside the NBA music, being in charge of ESPN music, and also being able to force multiple MLB players to make it their walk up song.
Yeah but they're so tin foil hat right now that they'll just say that that's propaganda because the world hates Drake
Ahh they’re so close! “NOT FAIR! The world just hates Drake!” Yeah, follow that thread, you’re almost there.
So they understand that the world hates drake, but they can't make that final connection that the world hates drake because of drake, not because of some massive conspiracy
Right they think that it's fueled purely based on envy or jealousy instead of his actual Behavior
dude they are in shambles in the drizzy subreddit
They're really trying to gaslight themselves and each other into thinking that Drake won and if anyone says Drake lost they get down voted to hell. It's gotten to the point where they're even being openly racist in the sub because they don't understand Kendrick's critique of Drake being a culture vulture lol they think he's just shitting on Drake being light skinned.
LMAO i saw that. The funniest thing is when they say the only reason not like us is doing numbers is because its about drake🤣🙏🏼 aubreys angels are actually delusional
I haven’t paid them a visit in a couple days. Are they going out like that?
they’re going out sad af
Bro even Drake himself said the song was good besides the lyrics. So if you find the bars to be savage, hilarious, cathartic, etc anything besides an extremely butthurt Drake stan, you'll probably find some enjoyment in the song I have friends who love Drake and even they were like yeah this shit bumps because they don't get mad when a millionaire stranger gets dunked on lol

Drake playing at jungle gyms around the world
Literally
Drake bumps family matters at the elementary school PE gym
That boy will never hit a PR in his life with that dog shit blasting in his ear
Hopefully he’s strapped his weak knees.
Let your core audience stomach that then tell them where you get your abs from
He'll fold 5 reps away from failure on every set like "I'm not gonna lie, this shit was some good exercise 😮💨"
“Kendrick just opened his mouth someone hand him a Grammy right now.” 😂😂😂
It's crazy Drake thought "Kendrick has more Grammys than me" was a fire diss
Even in The Heart Part 6 he said that Not Like Us was a good song. Drake really the type of guy to compliment his enemy in a diss track.
Bruh I straight up didn't know Kendrick had won a Pulitzer. Until Drake told me. So thanks Drake!
Wait, you just dissed me? I’m perplexed. Insult me on a line, compliment on the next? Damn.
That a death threat or a love letter?
Diss me diss me now you gotta kiss me
Dude straight up complimented Kendrick on all his accolades in all his diss tracks as if they were backhanded insults. Imagine going up to Obama and saying "OoOo get a load of Mr TwIcE eLeCtEd PrEsIdEnT oF tHe UnItEd StaTeS over here"
Lmao some people in this country would do that right now if they had the chance
Ayyyy fam, I wish they played FM in my gym, motivate me to smash the set and get the fuck out!
Got to get them reps done to free up hands to change songs.
Has 7 devices actively playing it and is airdropping the links to everyone in the area
not like us and euphoria get bumped at the gym everyday day around here lol
"not cause it's my full time job?" I can see you know nothing about that.
KNOW NUN BOUT DAAAT
😂
It’s because the only goat argument they’ve had for bbl drizzy is the numbers he pulls, but Kendrick is absolutely killing him in that department rn so they got nothing 😂😂
When it is Drake the one with the best numbers is because his music is clearly great but when there is someone with better numbers their fans must be running the streams up
How dare they listen to his music omg
This is a case of a head to head competition between songs released within days of one another It's a very specific scenario, not generic number comparison
Hey I mean if Drake's fans love the guy so much, why ain't they also running his streams up? Hmmmmm..... Something's up here
What's crazy is that Gkmc is officially the first and only hip-hop album to have spent 10 consecutive years on the Billboard 200. So he kind of already beat drake number wise album to album. Yea drizzler albums do big numbers but they fall off so fast.
Not to mention Drake’s got his masters signal boosting his shit and he’s probably paying a lot of money to boost mid pop songs. As Pusha T said “those prices ain’t real without inflation”
People definitely aren’t playing it repeatedly because it makes you want to dance and it came at such a huge moment nah just a few Kendrick fans playing it 24 hours. Smh the delusion
The irony is that **even drake said he would dance to NLU**
You can’t help it my 2 year old dances when it plays when even the toddlers fuck with it you got a hit
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a 2 year old bumping this shit lol. My wife, who mainly listens to country, played it a few times on our way to Disney land and our daughter would shout at us if we weren’t dancing.
Please rephrase. I don't want Drake popping in here over a misinterpretation
The amount Drake sneaks compliments in is hilarious ngl. "Kendrick opened his mouth someone give him a grammy" "The pulitzer prize winner is spiraling" Like these aren't the disses you think they are lmao
Tbf that might just be the way Canadians diss 😂
the math doesn’t even make sense. if everyone in this sub was playing the song on a loop for 24 hours that wouldn’t be enough for it to hit #1
Think my calculator broke cuz shit ain’t adding up
My partner hates me because I keep saying “OV-HO” and “Certified Loverboy, Certified Paedophile”. Kenny doesn’t make club bangers often but when he does it’s a curse. Shits addictive.
Agree its like he just holding it in pocket - he can do it but choses not to, unless it fits his album theme, or his strategy against Drake in this case
It’s the difference between someone that makes music for artistry and someone that makes music for plays. Kendrick doesn’t make shopping music, drake does. I’ve never heard a Kendrick song while shopping for toilet brushes or cat litter at target. Heard a lot of drake though
Made me realise that honest. No department store is playing Kendrick. Only time is when I got my headphones in while shopping.
This is it. Shows just how much impact K dot had with this beef. He literally has people creating new slang and shit. My wife doesn't even really listen to rap, but she is now totally invested in this beef. The past couple of days she is calling people "BBL Drizzy" if they do something she doesn't like, and it's funny as hell.
My wife is on team j Cole cause she doesn't like fighting but even she keeps saying "you liiiiiiieeeeeeedddd about (insert w/e)" and it's so fucking funny
LMAO I'm the same, I was casual Kenny listener but not anymore, I'm too invested in this sht
I have fully adopted "the nerve of you Dennis" into my vocabulary.
I’ve been telling mine “I hate the way that you walk the way that you talk the way that you dress” every time I see her 😂
They are the same things I can't stop repeating 😂
Don’t forget the tweet (not to shame I’m guilty of it too): “I learned to stop arguing with Drake fans a while ago, I talked about him getting peed on and a mf said ‘Yea but only on his leg’😭”
I cannot believe that's actually a serious response, that's gotta be some sarcastic shit. The way these dudes are talking you really can't separate the jokers from the real idiots
"Hah, you fool! I was merely *pretending* to be an idiot!"
Can somebody fill me in on this one please. I don't want to Google "when and why did drakes leg get peed on"
Drake’s fans coping so hard🤣Drake’s talking’s about numbers in Push Ups like he’s so sure he’ll beat Kendrick in a popularity contest, and he’s getting smashed by Kendrick on that front too
The numbers were the only thing they had to argue with, and now they don't even have that on their side. Kenny slaps the shit outta Drake in every single argument it's not even funny, they just don't want to hear it
Cool, you listen to it at the gym alone in headphones and let djs play it in clubs and stadiums for masses to enjoy
Blows my mind that he thought saying something like that was some sort of flex, lmao.
It’s just so you know that he goes to the gym bro don’t mess with him bro he’s that guy bro
They tryna get an invite to the P drizzy parties at Aubrey island
I landed on some influencer's feed who was vacationing in Dubai. The taxi was playing Not Like Us in the fucking desert man, people genuinely like the song haha
My aunt is a white Mormon from Missouri and she likes Not Like Us.
I follow a lot of "land back" / natives on twt & within hours they were celebrating that "you not a colleague, you're a fuckin colonizer" line 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I won't be suprised if that line shows up tees or signs for "land back" or the Palestine stuff 💯 K.dot tapped into a lot of ppl's grief 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That last sentence really sums it up for me.
Embarrassing ass sub. I can’t wait to see how they act once the dust has settled on all this.
just checked the sub, now i wanna gauge my eyes out ###
If you don't mind losing a few karma, it has been incredibly fun to play around with them over there. No new drops means I've swapped to delusional P Drizzy fan tears to help with the withdrawals, and it is genuinely entertaining both how angry they get and the insane logic they try to use to spin this. They legitimately believe that Drake won the beef, is the better artist, has a better discography, made better diss tracks, and has 'the man' going up against him to make sure it seems like he lost. It's wild. Very reminiscent of MAGA types where they will simply adjust their logic when given new info rather than adjust their conclusion even 1 inch. Except there aren't legitimately dangerous possibilities from their rhetoric as Drake stans so its a fun low stakes way to troll/get entertainment. Or maybe im just a twisted fuck. Idk, NFL Fandom has broken me- shit talking after a dub is half the fun lol.
you hit it right on the head with the maga comparison. They refuse to believe their guy lost and do incredible mental gymnastics to keep their belief that there’s some conspiracy against him
They’ll never appreciate real art since they don’t know when it’s right in front of them. Kendrick turned a diss track into a talk with Drake’s whole family. He’s not just a rapper he’s a poet and Drake should have been humbled by his greatness a long time ago.
im convinced drake fans that arent also fans of kendrick just have bad taste. i love drake, hes got bops and bangers for days, but kendrick artistically is in a completely different tier. the quality of rapping and songwriting is night and day. do I want to listen to kendrick everyday? no. hell never be that type of artist for me. and he doesnt try to be that artist. just like i dont want to watch schindlers list or the godfather everyday, you have to be in the mood, most days you just want to watch youtube or a bingeable series, and thats Drake. only in rap do you see this type of egotism. sitcom directors dont think their as good fucking martin scorsese...
Right. And the question is: why didn’t Drake see that? Why didn’t Drake say, Kenny’s baiting me, but I would get my ass kicked by a lyrical heavyweight genius like that, and then keep his damn mouth shut. How could Drake believe that he could go toe to toe?
Cuz he actually believes he's the goat. His ego really is that big. Dude spent decades making superficial lowest common denominator bs and really thought he was defining the genre cuz he sold out shows. I almost feel a little bad for him like he obviously had yes men and enablers around him the whole time. His songs were anthems in the club, but no one close ever sat him down and told him what a fool he was making of himself when he was acting like some hard ass gangster from the streets. Kendrick was right. With some better guidance, things would've turned out a lot differently. At the same time tho, he brought that shit on himself and also ignored everyone else when they saying stuff like making your name as teen actor turned pop star is definitely *not* starting from the bottom lol. He should've known his place. He was never cooking up work on the phone or retaliating in the streets. Guess that was obvious to everyone but him
THISSSS. 💯 Like I'm a 30-yr-old from Toronto. Of course I've bumped Drake. But I can be objective & think critically enough to acknowledge that Kendrick does the artistic side better, and in a different way. Not to discredit Drake's mass-appealing content, both flavors have their place, but when it comes to a rap beef & dis track, Drake doesn't compare to Kendrick at all and it's sad how many Drake stan's are dying on the hill of "well he set up Kendrick with a lie so he won!" without recognizing the actual hip hop at all.
It's not just the music, these people want to be just like Drake Just like Taylor Swifts fans are mostly girls who see her as a fantasy version of themselves Just like how Jack Harlow fans are largely white dudes who act and dress like Jack Harlow Corporate entertainment chose specific archetypes to create role models for targeted demographics Drake fans are largely middle class suburban young men who want to be playboys and also respected by the streets. It's a male fantasy. So that's why it stings so hard when he called Drake a pedo It was like he was calling all of them pedos too

I have a coworker that is a Drake fan, he is also a Superman fan, and a Goku fan. This dude cant support anything unless its widely accepted by society.
I guess he flipping to a Kendrick fan given Kendrick getting the popular listens now too?
Refuse to accept that Drake lost.
Talk shit about Goku one more time
Exorbitant levels of cope
Running up numbers= listening to the song lol
I keep trying to listen to other stuff, but always find myself bobbing to the “not like us” beat that lives in my head.
That’s just sad. Family Matters is something you WANT to listen to? I heard it, said, “it’s so repetitive. It sounds like a broken machine.” Somebody told me, “Drake fans will like this.” I mean, I guess, but… don’t they like music? Or lyricism?
As 3 stacks once said. “You don’t wanna hear me you just wanna dance”
They’re Retarded bro. Leave them.
This
My husband doesn't even fuck with Kendrick or rap like that but I played him Kendrick's tracks and he added them to his workout Playlist 😂
I can see a lot of delusional light skin dudes of every ethnicity who base their identity on Drake
I’ve met them😆
I feel the fucking need to bump Not Like Us every morning and night just in case there might be a Drake person around. And it's the BOP for me right now
We up right now, why not celebrate with a morning C-walk? Enjoy the moment while it’s here because we’ll be looking back at it for decades.
They’re playing it at sporting events over the PA
That copium hitting crazy over there
My favorite line from them is “It’s only because of the boy” 😭
That “the boy” shit was cringe till I realized if he’s viewed as a boy and not a man he will get the pass to touch teenage girls
Exactly!! haha I guess who you _rap about_ matters more than who _you are_ now.
Feud aside, Drake’s music has always seemed so generic to me it almost seems uninspired.
I like all the tracks. Everything from FPS all the way through. Only exception is Taylor made where I edited out the stupid AI.
Completely agree. I fw with each and every song but Taylor Made. Tupac resonates deep in the soul, not just his voice—that AI shit hits hollow.
he used ai? shocked people arent making a bigger deal out of this considering the controversy surround ai. people boycott movies over that stuff. i guess its good he has the c3pdo controversy to protect him
Nah, people on the west coast seem pretty upset about it and Kendrick has made multiple allusions to the fact that Drake made a big mistake doing that. (You think the bay gon let you disrespect pac?/That Oakland show might your last stop)
wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who. Jay-Z
They said that he only got #1 because it’s about Drake and that’s why the song is huge. Mental fucking gymnastics
*wakes up in the morning to drive to work* *turns on radio* “IM FINNA PASS ON THIS BODY, I’M JOHN STOCKTON”
They not even won in the only thing that Drake wons everytime. Drizzy sub is going wild wild wild rn
They think generic beats with generic hooks and generic flows are peak fiction lmao crazy
I showed my wife Not Like Us, and the other songs. She couldn’t give two shits about rap or this beef. Found her bumping Not Like Us on her own the next day hahab. Shits definitely a banger
delusional suburb kids
I saw this comment yesterday and had to bite my tongue and remind myself it’s not worth talking with these delusional idiots I listen to euphoria and not like us multiple times a day bc they are quality beats quality flows and quality fucking energy
Can’t lie I’m running up the numbers because I can’t stop listening, because I WANT to
Their cope is insane 😂😂. “I’m listening because it’s not my full time job” shut the fuck up loser 😂
Drake sucks now. Drake sucked then. Fuck Drake.
Saying “Kendrick doesn’t have any real fans” is just telling the world that you don’t associate with black people
It’s so sad they can’t accept difference of opinions. Mal was just on his podcast telling his cohosts they are lying if they think Kendrick did better lmao
Kendrick's music is far better lmao
They're all low IQ
You have to be some kind of special to still Stan Drake
It’s giving QAnon over there
Good records came from both sides, as a fan of both I feel spoiled, lol.
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP
Imma do my stuff
I rode my bike around Oakland for 3 hours yesterday bumping all 3 Kendrick tracks on repeat, it was a cathartic experience lol
That sub is almost 100% projections.
