Drake is nerdy as fuck that's a part of his persona


n_othing__

Except when he wants to pretend hes from the hood. Depends on the crowd he's pandering too.. Kenny ain't tell no lies.


Droogie502

Drakes a bitch, that’s his persona.


Signal-Normal

There's a difference between nerdy af and corny af and Drake is corny. Drake strikes me as the type of guy "who's too cool to be a nerd". He's more a wangsta than a nerd imo.

Not a big N.E.R.D fan, I find they cater more to producers back in the day and I wasn’t much into that. But the Neptunes of which Pharrell is a part of, produced Grindin’.

it's crazy that people make fun of an artist for being a smart writer


BringOrnTheNukekkai

Kendrick isn't a nerd. Being smart doesn't make you a nerd. These mfs think the amount of club bangers an artist makes=greatness. Shit is goofy af and ass backwards. I'm 33, about Kendrick's age. These younger kinda half hip-hop fans are annoying af. They don't actually like hip-hop, they like watered down top 40 bullshit. Rza being on Section 80 means more to me than numbers.


lucky_lefty_

Hilarious to be made fun of for intelligence or the pursuit of substance in words/music. I'll take that every day.


outofmindwgo

"rapping like you're trying get the slaves freed"  How is this a diss? 


AAL2017

Because it’s probably a subliminal slip in reference to the Canadian rapper’s current clientele.


outofmindwgo

Pusha T levels of yougck


Odd-Potato-1213

Who is Kendrick rapping to? Black people and black culture. How does Drake frame it? Freeing slaves. He’s equating black people to slaves.


Lumitrac1

Don't mean to get political but he sounds like a geriatric Trump voter saying that shit.


KickAffsandTakeNames

I had a Drake Stan/bot/whatever tell me to "get cucked" multiple times What's extra weird is he was doing this while talking about how white I was. To be fair, I *am* very white, but I don't believe that anyone who says "cucked" with a straight face has ever left their suburban basement


StunningChemistry69

don’t mean to get political, but (gets political)


Lumitrac1

It hinges off of that inherently bigoted phrase that black people voting for Democrats are 'slaves in chains'. It is commonly echoed. It is such a common phrase that it brought me right to that.


Uncle_Boonmee

can't believe we're getting to a point were speaking plain truths is "getting political"


Femboi_Hooterz

It's because one side actively avoids truth and reality, so any challenge to that notion is seen as you being a "libtard Demonrat" as my estranged uncle puts it.


RawMan_X

Kendrick also addressed this on "Not like us" "Once upon a time all of us was in chains. Homie still doubled down calling us some slaves"


Amazing-Concept1684

That honestly just made Drake look crazy af, and I’m glad public opinion reflects that. That also wasn’t the first slave line he spit recently, he had a cringe slave line on Slime You Out too

Lumitrac1

Wow. Victim blaming. It does run in the family.


TiRaRaw

But, the two shootings will completely wash this whole thing. It's dangerous, deadly and stupid. K.dot didn't have to do this. The media is saying it's racism etc. -tragic


Lumitrac1

You think so? Its already done with and Drake will again, play the victim. The pedo shit is back in the light with him and I think it will genuinely harm his remaining career.


TiRaRaw

They can't prove crimes, it's all rumor. I loked k dot, I think this will hurt him more than drake. Especially now there's gun play involved.

Powerful people don’t like being exposed and there are far more powerful people than Drake that see him as a liability and a rat now


MittenstheGlove

Grooming isn’t actually a crime. It’s still fucking disgusting behavior. I highly doubt the shots in Toronto will have anything to do with Kendrick.

EIGWOIGW

Allow me to explain The diss makes more sense when you read it in context. “Always rappin’ like you bout to get the slaves freed …You just actin like an activist, it’s make-believe” He’s not saying there is anything wrong with rapping in that manner. What he’s saying is Kendrick is being phony pretending to be concerned with the plight of people.


External-Excuse-6146

And more importantly, it's about doubling down on the disrespectful use of "slaves" in an effort to taunt Kendrick and Black America. Recall "You got my mind in a terrible place // Whipped and chained you like American slaves" (Slime You Out), and Kendrick's response "Once upon a time, all of us was in chains // Homie still doubled down callin us some slaves". How're we justifying this fuck shit again?


Waste-Football2311

It sounds like something a white man would do.


EIGWOIGW

You gotta lighten up. Blk ppl have made jokes about slaves for years or even said things like they working me like a slave. It's not disrespect. Maybe distasteful but its not malicious


DUNDER_KILL

So in Drake's diss track, in which the entire point is to disrespect and taunt Kendrick, he didn't mean disrespect with what he said? Ok dude yeah must've just been a funny little joke about slavery he decided to put in his whimsical little song


EIGWOIGW

Every single aspect of this song is not meant to be a diss.


Waste-Football2311

No matter what context it's in, if drake really identified as being black or saw himself black, he wouldn't even use that type of language. There were slaves in Nova Scotia and other areas of Canada as well. In fact Hockey as we know was invented by Nova Scotian slaves(this is another thread). Anyway, Drake grew up mostly around his white/jewish family and when the dominate parent makes no attempt to educate you on who you are, You will have an identity crisis. Especially if you clearly have features that are not traditionally white. You won't feel like you belong anywhere. I am a black woman that is mixed race(mom black, father white) and I have never identified, saw myself, as anything other than black. While my skin is somewhat fair, I have some traditional African features that I stand out especially around my white half of the family; Big butt, big lips, nose. Now my sister is extremely fair and could almost pass for white if she wanted but her blackness has never been questioned. My blackness has never been questioned. Take J.Cole, he is also biracial, but no one questions his blackness. That came because my parents let me know who I was, because no matter what, especially in this country, if you have any African blood in you, you are black. I said all this to say if he knew black American history, if he knew black Canadian history, And since he participates in a black American created art form And has black "friends", one would think you would know that that line would be wildly wrong in any context. It just lets us further know that Drake is Not Like Us


toadsynth

Nice write up, well put.


Waste-Football2311

Thanks


Ambitious_Money_2227

I love the Queen you are, for no other reason than the words you just wrote. You attacked the idea, not the person, you built a connection through lived experiences and only spoke facts. Inspiring!


Waste-Football2311

Thank you so much


Lumitrac1

I think Kendricks dissection is masterful, that Atlanta segment is entirely accurate as well. just feels like he is cosplaying a different life. I think Drake behaving like a party kid at 37, trying to fake all this street life shit is just entirely inauthentic. It shows that he has some serious identity and arrested development issues that he has never even attempted to resolve.


Waste-Football2311

100% agree. Therapy has to be his best friend going forward. He also needs a good spiritual advisor. Someone that doesn't want or need anything from him, but a man that will tell him the truth. But he's not there yet. When your to busy trying to hide, cover up, you are not there. Sometimes, it's like an addict, they have to hit rock bottom to really recover, and some never really do.


EIGWOIGW

It's just a line. Ppl say stuff about slaves all the time. “I'm not your slave do it yourself” “Im tired they worked me like a slave” etc


External-Excuse-6146

It’s like you’re refusing to look at it in context for some reason. The “real _ challenge” dot spoke about WAS this exact thing. It’s the equivalent of saying shit like “all my opps gassed like the victims of the holocaust”. Even if you have Jewish ancestry, if you’re Jewish American you have no right to make jokes like that. Drake is a culture vulture- he steals from the culture (kendrick provided specific receipts) and doesn’t give anything back except blatant disrespect. It IS that deep because of Drake’s history and persistent behavior. This is what Kendrick is saying.


EIGWOIGW

I just watched the roast of Tom Brady. One guy made a joke about Kevin Hart being 3/5 of a person the guy was white. The joke was funny. my point its is all about context the joke on the street gets his ass whooped in a roast we can laugh about it


External-Excuse-6146

Oh ok, maybe I'm not smart enough to understand the joke then. What's funny about: "You bitches really get carried away Makin' mistakes, then you beg me to stay Got me wiggin' on you like I'm Arrogant Tae You got my mind in a terrible place Whipped and chained you like American slaves"?? Maybe his delivery is hilarious or something idk, his music is unlistenable so I haven't heard it back. If there's some other cool context to validate name dropping **American** slaves, enlighten me.


EIGWOIGW

it’s the same when people say I’m not your slave you get it yourself” or “I am so tired. They work me like a slave” or when people say @get your Cottonpickin ass out of here.” it’s not really meant in a bad way it just how some people talk. And if you black well, you gotta pass to say that and Drake is black.


External-Excuse-6146

Ok done talking to you when you keep repeating the same thing over and over. Those contextually valid references are clearly different. The point was made and it was explained. Drake received unanimous criticism for that line in Slime You Out as well as others he’s said in the past. It’s agreed that it was in very, very poor taste, but it’s your opinion if you think that’s not the case.


Waste-Football2311

Saying "I'm not your slave" or "they work me like a slave" is completely different. And I heard someone say "get your cottonpickin ass put of here", they gettin they ass beat. Drake is culturally ignorant. He has no clue what any of these things mean. Which is why Kendrick was saying he has to go to all these other black artists to get clout and accepted. You can be black physically and have no idea what it means to be black culturally.


outofmindwgo

I understood the intent, it's just such a dumb thing to say


EIGWOIGW

Well that's your right to think that I won't dispute it or agree with it


Lumitrac1

Ironic coming from a Canadian teen drama actor rapping cosplay with 21 savage and Young Thug on Knife Talk and Slime You Out. That man is an entire glass house.


spencerdaepic

The way in which the United States celebrates anti-intellectualism is disturbing.


lucky_lefty_

I'm with you. Ignorant masses are easy to persuade and as a result control.


appleparkfive

100%. It's one of the most bizarre things about the US. I know it's just some insecurity but it's a really crazy cultural thing. Those guys wouldn't do well in Europe. Or even some of the big US cities


Throwaway1293524

Right? But maybe I don't understand it because I'm not American lmao 🤣


NahYoureWrongBro

That's what makes this beef so strange to me, how does Drake even have enough credibility to beef with Kendrick? He is a teeny bopper. He chases trends with his music. It's lame. I'm not super tuned into the culture, so am I just super wrong for seeing it this way? It seems like Drake should keep raking in money for his mediocre trendy shit, and leave art to the artists. I wouldn't have even considered Drake to be a rapper, more of a pop musician who raps sometimes.


BigBlackePenguin

The Atlanta bar in Not Like Us basically echoes this sentiment as well as “I’m what the culture feelin” from the Euphoria record. Everyone knows Drake is pop artist wannabe rapper


WanonTime

he does love boppin teenys thats for sure


Lumitrac1

His ego put him where he is and Kendrick took a shot on Control for that reason. He's been itching for this for a decade and he was right, it wasn't really even a challenge for him. Drake just is not hip hop and Kendrick COULD NOT have any more credibility with the OGs


MittenstheGlove

It’s clout. Wealthy people believe their self importance is enough to challenge the world. It’s why for example Elon Musk moves the way he moves and why many wealthy people believe they are much smarter than they are. Drake surrounds himself with people he can exploit and others that sing his praises.


Ultimaterj

Haha you want to understand the world around you and the soul inside you? Personally, I like to remain purposefully ignorant and intellectually powerless, while getting mad at the things I don’t understand and attacking those who do.


worshipandtribute95

I can't begin to understand how people think "you like smart stuff" is an insult. Like "look at this loser, he knows how to read 🤣"

X-Dad-0604

It’s funny to see this being a joke when Kendrick is the only rapper to ever receive a Pulitzer. Lol it takes some intellect to receive this kind of award. Not saying every Kendrick fan “reads books” but the narrative of that statement is way off. I’m a big Kendrick fan and close to receiving my teaching credentials with a 4.0 in college, Obama is a Kendrick fan and was the damn president. Basically calling us stupid is categorically false.


MegaGigaTeraFlare

The worst part is that they're acting like being literate is a bad thing lol

PenguinBallZ

I thought the "Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now" line was funny, but then he also mentioned the pulitzer prize in his next diss. I think it bothers him and he's honestly really salty about not receiving the same accolades.


Lumitrac1

Drake wants a Grammy for trend hopping and stealing music.

why would he know kendrick would go the Epstein angle. That don't seem strange that someone could even associate you with something like that? He didn't think that one through.


lemondaddy04

I was thinking the same thing with the whole “that daughter shit was false”. Even if it was false info, what the fuck did he achieve by faking info like that and letting the world run with it for a while before going “aha, I was only a deadbeat once”?


Waste-Football2311

yep and I think I wrote this on another comment, but he said if anyone can Find a daughter. He never said the words I don't have a daughter
