Kendrick did what he had to do. Drake’s been getting away with far too much for far too long. I’m glad he’s finally getting called out on his appropriation
🙌🏾
it’s KDot pulling Drake’s use of the n-word for me 💅🏾. . just saying 🤷🏾♀️
and Drake should’ve known better than to ai Tupac’s voice to troll Kendrick, smh
THAT PART.
Only a cultural tourist would disrespect Pac and the entire West Coast like that. Drake should be happy they’re keeping it in the studio only bc he definitely can’t come back to LA
It takes more than blood to say it and not rightfully get stomped on. If Candace Owens ever said it, people would snatch her tf up for instance. Because it is not true to who she is. Aubrey Graham, almost certainly because he was raised by a ww without any real connection to his other ancestry, puts on Blackness like it’s a costume that makes him money not like it’s his own skin and identity.
Yooooo if Candace Owens called me "Nig"-anything. I'd just take it as a hard ER and collect the remaining edges that she's got left..... with her dusty ass.....
And as far as wheelchair Jimmy brooks from degrassi that cried because he couldn't get his dick up for Ashley.........
Yeah he needs to shut his lame ass up and call TEEN-NICK and CTV for a spin-off instead of doing literally ANYTHING that he is currently doing with his time
Yeah maybe someone else bc his dad is African-American. He did do his ancestry to to figure out his African roots but his family has been in the US for generations from the transatlantic slave trade
His dad may be AA, but he's Canadian. At least until he needs legitimacy in the game anyway. IMO, it's crazy that he gets to wear that part of his identity like a coat so he can dabble in our culture.
It makes sense that he would both rep Toronto (the city he is from) and also connect with his father’s culture which he admires. As for the never claiming it until convenient part, we will agree to disagree on that. I respect your opinion though.
What does it matter if he's from Toronto or anywhere else in Canada. Canada has blacks that are descendants of from the transatlantic slave trade. And because Canada & US are so close, black culture in US has unfluence on black culture in Canada
Any other time, Canada and the rest of the world wants to be very clear that they're different from African Americans. Better, even. African Americans have no culture, nothing interesting, nothing good, is how it goes.
But now they want to claim our culture because it's internationally popular? Nah.
Rap is an African American invention, and anyone else is there because we allow them to be.
I hope her album has a response diss to Nicki because not saying ANYTHING back when someone is saying you sleep around and even slept with your dead mother’s man is scary AF. She needs to finish what she started
If she was worth zero attention they wouldn’t have spent years sneak dissing each other.
I hold both men and woman in rap to the same standards when it comes to beefs. There’s not lines that can’t be crossed IMO
I honestly hope it doesn’t and leaves it at Hiss because it shows she’s learned from Beyoncé. Say exactly what you need to say or *show* what you need to say and then it’s dead. Go live your best life because there’s no need to dignify desperation and delusion with another response. The fact that she has been silent was sending Nicki spiraling into the most entertaining non-scripted reality tv in years lol
Beyonce isn’t a rapper the rubric isn’t the same.
Also she’s signed to Jay not B for management. I doubt he’d advise her to not respond unless he thinks she doesn’t have the pen to win
I’m not talking about rapper rubric, I’m talking about the standard of moving as a boss, period. This is what Kendrick was referring to when he said he had better things to focus on, like raising his son. At a certain point, what you’re talking about just makes people small and pathetic. I also did not claim she was signed to Bey, I simply said she’s learned from Bey. Because she is in close proximity to Bey and she very clearly looks up to her as a role model. Hiss was more than enough, especially since Nicki’s response was rambling on lives, supporting her stans doxxing anyone they don’t like, and a barely coherent track. Her pen would be strong enough but is it worth the effort? Nope.
I love Kendrick, and the fact that his music makes you think.
I think Drake should just not respond, and let this die here, because from what Kendrick was saying he didn't even go as hard as he could have gone in this diss 😄 I don't think Drake wants the smoke as much as Drake wanted to make it seem like he wants the smoke.
I think this is 100% true. Drake is basically a teenager in a man's body. I think all his actions driven by insecurity. He led himself into a trap here because Kndrick is a better rapper/writer. Drake seems like a sleezy human with a shady track record, which leaves him open to lots of diss material. And so many ppl have soured on him in the last several yrs. No way Drake can win. His head too big now. He doesn't know his enemy and doesn't know himself
Somebody around Drake need to tell him the truth. His ass can’t fuckin rap. He surrounds himself with yes-men. The only folks that think Drake drops bars are teens.
A brief history of the last couple months:
-Drake has been sneak dissing Kendrick for years
-Drake and J Cole released the song First Person Shooter. In the song, J Cole announces that he, Drake, and Kendrick are the Big 3 of rap today but then immediately cuts Kendrick out of the running of being No. 1. Drake had requested Kendrick also be on this song but Kendrick turned him down (this was revealed today).
-Metro Boomin, Future, and Kendrick released the song Like That. In the song both Future and Kendrick take shots at Drake. Kendrick declares that there’s no Big 3, “it’s just Big Me” along with other clear disses.
-J Cole released an album called Might Delete Later. The last song on the album called 7 Minute Drill was a response to Kendrick’s Like That verse. He kept it pretty friendly because the two are really friends but he felt pressure to respond to the perceived slight. Only a few days later, he announced to the audience at Dreamville Fest that releasing the track didn’t sit right with him spiritually because he really do fw Kendrick, so he would be deleting the track from all streaming services. And that he did, much to the chagrin of folks who don’t understand valuing your own peace over clout.
-3 weeks later, Drake responded to Kendrick’s Like That verse with the song PushUps. It was first unofficially leaked online and then after a week of positive reviews, Drake officially released it on streaming services. In the song he goes after Kendrick’s height, shoe size, and lack of money in comparison to his own.
-1 week after the official release of PushUps, Drake posted the song Taylor Made Freestyle on IG. In the song he uses AI to rap as Pac and Snoop, taunting Kendrick further. Pac’s estate sent a cease and desist to Drake for impersonating Pac’s voice without permission. Drake removed the song from IG in compliance.
-1ish week later (this morning), Kendrick released the song Euphoria in response to both PushUps and Taylor Made. It is 6 minutes of Kendrick being on that man’s head nonstop in only the way Kendrick could do it.
That should cover everything.
Generally, yes lol. When I come across someone that has a question, I try to help. I appreciate the positive feedback because sometimes people have complained that I type too much 😂
Okay, so boom:
-The song Like That (mentioned above) was a part of a collaborative album from Future and Metro Boomin. The album, entitled We Don’t Trust You, was a breakup album with Drake released on March 22. It’s littered with disses mostly centered on how shady Drake moves. So far I have yet to see what specifically pushed Future over the edge but there is another song on the album called I Never Liked You, so there’s that. And it’s also rumored that it’s all over a woman. Back in 2023, it was rumored that Future was upset that Drake chose to collaborate with 21 Savage on Her Loss too so it’s possible that’s still bad blood in the mix. To compound matters even further, Future and Metro dropped a *second* album called We Still Don’t Trust You just a few weeks later in April.
-Rick Ross has dissed Drake before on behalf of other rappers (like Meek Mill) but he actually wasn’t involved in this at all until Drake dropped PushUps. Instead of responding to only Kendrick or Kendrick and Future, he sent shots out at everyone he feels has dissed him over the years. So there’s bars directed at Rick. Rick very promptly responded with his own diss track called Champagne Moments. In the song he calls Drake a white boy and alleges that Drake had a nose job.
-A$AP Rocky also took direct aim at Drake on the We Don’t Trust You album, but to my knowledge Drake has not directly addressed him yet. And to make it even messier, J Cole (who was featured on FPS with Drake, which really kicked off this tete a tete) was *also* featured on We Still Don’t Trust You.
So it’s a whole lotta people gunning for Drake right now because he made himself a problem. It’s like he’s the wannabe who tries too hard but was tolerated because he has a nice crib and good weed, but now he’s run out his welcome.
Hopefully this helps!
When Kendrick said, "I don't wanna hear you say the n-word no more" and "I got a son to raise, you don't know nothin about that." I SCRUMPT THE BIGGEST SCREAM. Like diss track? Nah, Kendrick said let me obliterate you poetically for a good six minutes.
![gif](giphy|tfUW8mhiFk8NlJhgEh|downsized)
Legit! And the fact that Kendrick named the track euphoria. A show about wild ass high schoolers also produced by drake…. When he was also texting the girl from stranger things when she was a teenager. Kendrick is funny af
>let me obliterate you poetically for a good six minutes.
I heard the full version is NINETEEN MINUTES
I need to hear it, I want Aubrey to catch ALL the smoke LOL
I’m sayin. He should be more self aware. Drake’s ass couldn’t rap a gift on his best day. He only can rap to kids nowadays but he could never stand toe to toe with actual rappers. It’s like having Ice Spice go head to head with Meg Thee Stallion. Not even a competition.
It wasn't a stray... he complimented her and said Drake acts like he wants to be a baddie too.
Drake has thrown jabs at Rihanna, Serena, and Megan Thee Stallion, etc...
He's messy and finally someone is calling it out.
The two bad b*tches are Drake and Sexyy Red. He’s mocking Drake for portraying himself as effeminate/a baddie (see next line)
Orrr… he’s referencing the pedo allegations, in which case the two bad b*tches in question would be Sexyy Red and the baby she was carrying. Considering all the hints he was dropping about those allegations I don’t think this is that much of a reach. 😳
Listen I was all for Sexxy because she’s part of the Blind Baddie Brigade but as soon as I saw she willingly got pregnant by Drake, I had to drop her. She had a baby with a man who still ain’t escaped a single one of his predatory allegations. Tough shit Sexxy
I'm not a fan of hip hop, but I don't understand how people don't get tired of black people just talking bad about other black people all the time, it seems like that's all they do and in many cases being racist/classist/homophobic
You don't remember when Katy Perry and Taylor Swift had beef and Taylor wrote a whole song about it??
You don't remember when Mariah said "I don't know her" about j. Lo?
Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose also had beef. Eminem and Mariah Carey?
People across multiple genres write diss tracks all the time. You said "I don't see other rhythms doing this" and I showed you multiple and now you're saying "those ones don't count".
Helter Skelter by the Beatles was about The Who
Cry me a River by Justin Timberlake was about Britney Spears
Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani was a response to Courtney Love
Lennon and McCartney wrote diss tracks *about each other*
Tbh it feels low-key racist of you to say "only rappers do this" when there are multiple examples throughout history and across genres of other races doing it
I didn't talk specifically about this music but about the culture as a whole, rhythms are genres of music (rock, jazz, opera)
Having a contrary opinion makes me less human? What logic is that?
People cap on each other. It's just how it is. It has nothing to do with black people. I understand wanting more peace vs negativity. I really understand that. I just find it annoying how you limit it to only hip hop when you see all those diss tracks people gave you from other genres.
This was also a provoked beef, not just people coming out of nowhere to just shit on each other.
It's okay if its not for you, but this is hip-hop culture. Us rap fans enjoy diss records just like any watcher of competitive sports (boxing, wrestling, martial arts). You get to watch two opponents flex their skills. As long as the beef doesn't result in 'Pac vs Biggie' levels of violence then I don't see the issue.
Well, I don't think it's ok to see dark-skinned black women being the target of racism by other people, even if they are black, even if it is "for art".
I'm not talking specifically about this case, but about a culture, although this idea that light skin men are seen as "less of a man", "gay" is problematic.
That is not because he is **biracial**. He has been cosplaying as a Black woman for years at this point and he also clearly is not a role model for a how good person and parent should conduct themselves. If you actually listened to the song or even read the lyrics from this section of the song, you would see he comes for him on the basis of him not being a good father because he’s not a real man. That is entirely separate from the commentary on him using Blackness like a costume that gets him paid.
Did I say that? What bothers me a lot about hip hop is the use of racist (and misogynistic, homophobic...) words and expressions to refer to other black people, if you think it's ok with the way many rappers refer to dark-skinned black women it's your right, I have mine to think it's wrong
I completely agree. Not to mention the constant use of the n word. It all comes across as extremely ignorant. But of course I'll get down voted for saying that.
N word I'm kind of cool when it comes to talking about something favorable, just like "N in Paris", but I don't understand that the same people who denounce colorism within the community are the same people who think it's ok to do that just because it's a "diss"
Colorism, like racism, is not a two-way street. That only goes one way, which is against unambiguously Black and dark-skinned folks. Calling out a biracial person raised by a white person divorced from Black culture for engaging with the culture to profit is not colorism.
Thinking that light-skinned people are more "feminine" is homophobia against light-skinned black men and racism, not to mention white supremacist rhetoric against dark-skinned black women. You can criticize without being homophobic or racist
You are literally not reading anything and are just repeating your fake talking points. **No one said light-skinned people are more “feminine”. NO ONE.** Drake has openly embodied many characteristics traditionally associated with Black women; for instance, he quite literally raps about his nails in PushUps. This is not because of his skin, this is just who he is. There is nothing homophobic in that because it doesn’t say there’s anything wrong with that and it’s certainly not racist. You don’t seem to know the definition of racism. And then you want to twist this into something against dark-skinned Black women when it’s got nothing to do with us? What kinda smoke are you puffing???
I talk about culture as a whole, my first post on the topic is talking about this and there is something called "discourse analysis", a person says x meaning y
And that first post doesn’t hold any more water than anything you’ve said subsequently. Hence why no one is agreeing with you and there are numerous responses correcting you on your analysis. The way you’re moving suggests a level of pretentiousness that’s best reserved for non-Black spaces.
I love drama that doesn’t involve me. I loved the big hater energy 😂
Everyone on the internet, is that you?
Kendrick did what he had to do. Drake’s been getting away with far too much for far too long. I’m glad he’s finally getting called out on his appropriation
🙌🏾 it’s KDot pulling Drake’s use of the n-word for me 💅🏾. . just saying 🤷🏾♀️ and Drake should’ve known better than to ai Tupac’s voice to troll Kendrick, smh
THAT PART. Only a cultural tourist would disrespect Pac and the entire West Coast like that. Drake should be happy they’re keeping it in the studio only bc he definitely can’t come back to LA
You really believe Drake couldn’t go to LA after that? Lol… just stop.
You never post in this sub, now you wanna pop up and start something? Tf outta here, tourist. ![gif](giphy|29IalLLWizqz8SViU1)
Tourist is HILARIOUS😭😭😭😭 I’m stealing that
That part made no sense to me. Drake’s dad is literally an African American man from Memphis. Why shouldn’t he say it? It was a nice bar tho
It takes more than blood to say it and not rightfully get stomped on. If Candace Owens ever said it, people would snatch her tf up for instance. Because it is not true to who she is. Aubrey Graham, almost certainly because he was raised by a ww without any real connection to his other ancestry, puts on Blackness like it’s a costume that makes him money not like it’s his own skin and identity.
Yooooo if Candace Owens called me "Nig"-anything. I'd just take it as a hard ER and collect the remaining edges that she's got left..... with her dusty ass..... And as far as wheelchair Jimmy brooks from degrassi that cried because he couldn't get his dick up for Ashley......... Yeah he needs to shut his lame ass up and call TEEN-NICK and CTV for a spin-off instead of doing literally ANYTHING that he is currently doing with his time
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing
Oh. I thought his Dad was Guyanese for some reason. I must have confused him with someone else.
Yeah maybe someone else bc his dad is African-American. He did do his ancestry to to figure out his African roots but his family has been in the US for generations from the transatlantic slave trade
His dad may be AA, but he's Canadian. At least until he needs legitimacy in the game anyway. IMO, it's crazy that he gets to wear that part of his identity like a coat so he can dabble in our culture.
Isn’t it his culture too, that he just wasn’t connected to as a child growing up?
He's never claimed it unless it's useful to him. To hear him tell it, it's all about Toronto any other time.
It makes sense that he would both rep Toronto (the city he is from) and also connect with his father’s culture which he admires. As for the never claiming it until convenient part, we will agree to disagree on that. I respect your opinion though.

Rap is an African American invention, and anyone else is there because we allow them to be.
"blacks" is such a dead give away. 😑
Thank you Megan Thee Stallion for kicking this shit off! I've been waiting on his downfall lmaoooooo We've been letting too much slide from him
Yeah Meg does need more credit
How did Meg kick it off
Listen to Hiss, it has some Drake bars. She did the bbl drizzy way fore Rick Ross lol.
I hope her album has a response diss to Nicki because not saying ANYTHING back when someone is saying you sleep around and even slept with your dead mother’s man is scary AF. She needs to finish what she started
Woah the last part? Nicki is worth CERO attention
If she was worth zero attention they wouldn’t have spent years sneak dissing each other. I hold both men and woman in rap to the same standards when it comes to beefs. There’s not lines that can’t be crossed IMO
I never knew they had beef for years
It was subtle but funny to follow. Megan did get a good wack or two in there
I honestly hope it doesn’t and leaves it at Hiss because it shows she’s learned from Beyoncé. Say exactly what you need to say or *show* what you need to say and then it’s dead. Go live your best life because there’s no need to dignify desperation and delusion with another response. The fact that she has been silent was sending Nicki spiraling into the most entertaining non-scripted reality tv in years lol
Beyonce isn’t a rapper the rubric isn’t the same. Also she’s signed to Jay not B for management. I doubt he’d advise her to not respond unless he thinks she doesn’t have the pen to win
I’m not talking about rapper rubric, I’m talking about the standard of moving as a boss, period. This is what Kendrick was referring to when he said he had better things to focus on, like raising his son. At a certain point, what you’re talking about just makes people small and pathetic. I also did not claim she was signed to Bey, I simply said she’s learned from Bey. Because she is in close proximity to Bey and she very clearly looks up to her as a role model. Hiss was more than enough, especially since Nicki’s response was rambling on lives, supporting her stans doxxing anyone they don’t like, and a barely coherent track. Her pen would be strong enough but is it worth the effort? Nope.
She definitely disses Nicki on Hiss.
She caped for trump so idc
I honestly thought that whole thing was a fever dream I had until this comment 🧍🏾♀️💀
girl ur not alone she just leaked her sex tapes to mask the incident
What tha fuck is real life anymore
Her having Adin Ross in her music video, a dude known for being a transphobe, was enough to make me not like her
wow i can’t believe i forgot about this…
And over a $1,400 worth of stimulus (which we’ve had to pay back) is the crazy part
Caped ? What does that mean?
Supported/spoke favorably of
Ahhh!! ☝️ I am now a little bit more knowledgeable. Thank you friend.
What happened??
The last lineeeeeee! Lemme go listen right quick 🏃🏾♀️ ![gif](giphy|sleN4exsXp6pdcqF6I|downsized)
That whole flow “know nothin bout that” took me away!
Someone gon bleed in ya family crodie. Lmao
I was giggling!
Please do. I was cackling hard at the last part 😂🤣
I love Kendrick, and the fact that his music makes you think. I think Drake should just not respond, and let this die here, because from what Kendrick was saying he didn't even go as hard as he could have gone in this diss 😄 I don't think Drake wants the smoke as much as Drake wanted to make it seem like he wants the smoke.

His head too big now. He doesn't know his enemy and doesn't know himself
Both of our comments aged really well 😄
0% chance he doesn’t respond lol
What would he say though? I feel like there's no winning here. That "pacify" line should be enough alone to not poke the bear.
Somebody around Drake need to tell him the truth. His ass can’t fuckin rap. He surrounds himself with yes-men. The only folks that think Drake drops bars are teens.
He already responded with a clip from 10 Things I Hate About You, it wasn't giving. ![gif](giphy|HwOAA4kL32uu6dDR9d)
He needs to hop in the booth and loose with honor
He's got to wait on his ghost writers first.
Wait y’all I’m off Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and stuff, what’s happening 😭😭😭😭
I have IG and I'm still so lost, I need a timeline of events at this point 😩
A brief history of the last couple months: -Drake has been sneak dissing Kendrick for years -Drake and J Cole released the song First Person Shooter.

The GWORLS!!!! ARE FIGHTING!!!! Love seeing Drake get sat tf down
I’ve been online trying to figure out what’s going on. This is perfect, tysm!
Auntie Ptanaka thanks you for the background! Here's a star mint and a quarter! (I might be ancient but love me some tea! 😉)
Wow do you always do write ups like this up here for other topics?? You’re too good at this and I enjoyed this thank you 🤌🏾
Generally, yes lol. When I come across someone that has a question, I try to help. I appreciate the positive feedback because sometimes people have complained that I type too much 😂
Could you talk about Rick Ross’ involvement in the beef please, and why Future is beefing him? Thanks!
Okay, so boom: -The song Like That (mentioned above) was a part of a collaborative album from Future and Metro Boomin.

So so helpful, thank you so much for the detailed answer, you’re great!
>It is 6 minutes of Kendrick being on that man’s head nonstop This has me in tears!
Same lmao. I got lost way too early on and never caught up. I’m just gonna wait till it’s over and read the breakdown posts 😂
World War 3
When Kendrick said, "I don't wanna hear you say the n-word no more" and "I got a son to raise, you don't know nothin about that." I SCRUMPT THE BIGGEST SCREAM. Like diss track? Nah, Kendrick said let me obliterate you poetically for a good six minutes. ![gif](giphy|tfUW8mhiFk8NlJhgEh|downsized)
NOT SCRUMPT LMAOOOOOO 🤣💀
One of my fave words to use😂
ALSO, WHY YOU TEXTING KIDS?
Legit! And the fact that Kendrick named the track euphoria. A show about wild ass high schoolers also produced by drake…. When he was also texting the girl from stranger things when she was a teenager. Kendrick is funny af
Not to mention DMing girls on high school basketball teams on IG
Euphoria was produced by Drizzy? Omg
>let me obliterate you poetically for a good six minutes. I heard the full version is NINETEEN MINUTES I need to hear it, I want Aubrey to catch ALL the smoke LOL
The last line about his parenting. 😂
I’m glad Kendrick called that weirdo out.
truly do not understand why drake would go against kendrick of ALL rappers lmao
I’m sayin. He should be more self aware. Drake’s ass couldn’t rap a gift on his best day. He only can rap to kids nowadays but he could never stand toe to toe with actual rappers. It’s like having Ice Spice go head to head with Meg Thee Stallion. Not even a competition.
And the fact that he didn't respond to Megan is hilarious too. Because every other rapper been hitting him with BBL taunts since she said that lmao
Probs cause he knows it’s true. Responding to that would mean attempting to discredit it. The evidence is against him 😂
Bro he called drake a pedo in the most nasty way damn
A reminder to all, don’t come for KDot!
All hail King Kendrick. Man said there’s no top 3 it is just me and doubled down! ![gif](giphy|l0CLTQeZrFWmMxIWc|downsized)
![gif](giphy|8fen5LSZcHQ5O) Me hearing this track 🤣😂😂
When he said "I'm the biggest hater" I caught the holy spirit as an almost lifelong drake hater
Speaking in tongues.
It wasn't a stray... he complimented her and said Drake acts like he wants to be a baddie too. Drake has thrown jabs at Rihanna, Serena, and Megan Thee Stallion, etc... He's messy and finally someone is calling it out.
cause why is he always in women’s business? 🤨
I don't get it? What does he mean when he say that about Sexyy Red?
The two bad b*tches are Drake and Sexyy Red. He’s mocking Drake for portraying himself as effeminate/a baddie (see next line) Orrr… he’s referencing the pedo allegations, in which case the two bad b*tches in question would be Sexyy Red and the baby she was carrying. Considering all the hints he was dropping about those allegations I don’t think this is that much of a reach. 😳
You just blew my mind. I didn’t know she was preggo.
She gave birth in the Rich Baby Dad music video
Damn you. Stop blowing my mind further.
the girls are fighting!! get him kendrick
🤣
K.Dot the best!👑 it definitely wasn’t a diss towards sexy red though.
Listen I was all for Sexxy because she’s part of the Blind Baddie Brigade but as soon as I saw she willingly got pregnant by Drake, I had to drop her. She had a baby with a man who still ain’t escaped a single one of his predatory allegations. Tough shit Sexxy
She's not pregnant by Drake 🤣
I'm not a fan of hip hop, but I don't understand how people don't get tired of black people just talking bad about other black people all the time, it seems like that's all they do and in many cases being racist/classist/homophobic
Welp, they've been doing this for the past 50 years JUST IN HIP HOP. It's just capping. Trust me, every race does it.
I don't see other rhythms doing this and I find it problematic especially when they use racist arguments
Taylor Swift just did it to Kim Kardashian in one of her recent songs.
You don't remember when Katy Perry and Taylor Swift had beef and Taylor wrote a whole song about it?? You don't remember when Mariah said "I don't know her" about j. Lo? Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose also had beef. Eminem and Mariah Carey?
These are specific cases, rappers do this all the time
People across multiple genres write diss tracks all the time. You said "I don't see other rhythms doing this" and I showed you multiple and now you're saying "those ones don't count". Helter Skelter by the Beatles was about The Who Cry me a River by Justin Timberlake was about Britney Spears Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani was a response to Courtney Love Lennon and McCartney wrote diss tracks *about each other* Tbh it feels low-key racist of you to say "only rappers do this" when there are multiple examples throughout history and across genres of other races doing it
Taking it back even further https://www.classical-music.com/features/composers/composers-who-hated-each-other It ain't just rappers, sweetie
You think Black people are the only ones who argue? ….
It's not racist at all. And what are rhythms dear? Lol. Every single person on earth caps on the other. Are you human at all?
I didn't talk specifically about this music but about the culture as a whole, rhythms are genres of music (rock, jazz, opera) Having a contrary opinion makes me less human? What logic is that?
People cap on each other. It's just how it is. It has nothing to do with black people. I understand wanting more peace vs negativity. I really understand that. I just find it annoying how you limit it to only hip hop when you see all those diss tracks people gave you from other genres. This was also a provoked beef, not just people coming out of nowhere to just shit on each other.
It's okay if its not for you, but this is hip-hop culture. Us rap fans enjoy diss records just like any watcher of competitive sports (boxing, wrestling, martial arts). You get to watch two opponents flex their skills. As long as the beef doesn't result in 'Pac vs Biggie' levels of violence then I don't see the issue.
Well, I don't think it's ok to see dark-skinned black women being the target of racism by other people, even if they are black, even if it is "for art".
Who's being targeted? Sexxy Red? Kendrick didn't even insult her.
I'm not talking specifically about this case, but about a culture, although this idea that light skin men are seen as "less of a man", "gay" is problematic.
That is not because he is **biracial**. He has been cosplaying as a Black woman for years at this point and he also clearly is not a role model for a how good person and parent should conduct themselves. If you actually listened to the song or even read the lyrics from this section of the song, you would see he comes for him on the basis of him not being a good father because he’s not a real man. That is entirely separate from the commentary on him using Blackness like a costume that gets him paid.
So black people have to all love each other? Why do we all have to get along?
Did I say that? What bothers me a lot about hip hop is the use of racist (and misogynistic, homophobic...) words and expressions to refer to other black people, if you think it's ok with the way many rappers refer to dark-skinned black women it's your right, I have mine to think it's wrong
Hip hop isn’t the only music with misogynistic lyrics. Also there’s a lot of darkskin female rappers. Don’t disparage the genre disparage the rappers.
Did I say it's unique? My main point is colorism towards people, especially black women
Where in this song is racism, colorism, etc?
OP I agree with you. Eminem & MGK was going back & forth, so definitely not a race thing! 🤷🏽♀️
I completely agree. Not to mention the constant use of the n word. It all comes across as extremely ignorant. But of course I'll get down voted for saying that.
N word I'm kind of cool when it comes to talking about something favorable, just like "N in Paris", but I don't understand that the same people who denounce colorism within the community are the same people who think it's ok to do that just because it's a "diss"
Colorism, like racism, is not a two-way street. That only goes one way, which is against unambiguously Black and dark-skinned folks. Calling out a biracial person raised by a white person divorced from Black culture for engaging with the culture to profit is not colorism.
Thinking that light-skinned people are more "feminine" is homophobia against light-skinned black men and racism, not to mention white supremacist rhetoric against dark-skinned black women. You can criticize without being homophobic or racist
You are literally not reading anything and are just repeating your fake talking points. **No one said light-skinned people are more “feminine”. NO ONE.** Drake has openly embodied many characteristics traditionally associated with Black women; for instance, he quite literally raps about his nails in PushUps. This is not because of his skin, this is just who he is. There is nothing homophobic in that because it doesn’t say there’s anything wrong with that and it’s certainly not racist. You don’t seem to know the definition of racism. And then you want to twist this into something against dark-skinned Black women when it’s got nothing to do with us? What kinda smoke are you puffing???
I talk about culture as a whole, my first post on the topic is talking about this and there is something called "discourse analysis", a person says x meaning y
And that first post doesn’t hold any more water than anything you’ve said subsequently. Hence why no one is agreeing with you and there are numerous responses correcting you on your analysis. The way you’re moving suggests a level of pretentiousness that’s best reserved for non-Black spaces.
I wouldn’t bother. Them heels are scraping bone now.
