Two shitty people, one is an alleged pedophile and the other is a stereotype deadbeat father, stir up controversy about each other to gain popularity and sell albums.
To add to this. Both parties told all other creators that all music that was made in this dispute would not be subject to copyright claims. So far all claims made from Kendrick’s label have been dropped which has allowed critics to listen freely and even remix and make work from the original work. Drake said the same was going to be the case for what he put out however in typical fashion Ovo/umg has claimed all content that contains any of drakes source material. I’m generally not into this kind of public beef but in basically every regard Kendrick is right and Drake is pretty much the most pure example of everything that is wrong with the music scene today.
Kendrick is one the greatest rappers of all time so if he really wanted to be could easily go toe to toe with Eminem. However, I don’t know why either of them would want to.
Not the guy you responded to... But I don't hate Kendrick. I just think it's weird how people watch these beefs like it's American idol. If I was to pick a side it would be with Kendrick. But I really just think all this shit is stupid. It's apples to oranges. Then again I don't really listen to this type of music. I just don't understand why, if someone is claiming to be a real hip-hop emcee, they would go against drake.... Who is an entertainer.
Beef is lame. Beef is for when you have someone threatening your life, or freedom. Right? Idk anything other than that is just drama?
Tbf I'm ootl on all this. I don't really listen to either... Although I think listened to DNA? A few times.

Well Drake is the biggest rapper right now and considered to be in the “Big 3” along with Kendrick so it’s not all that surprising Kendrick would diss him. Drake being a fake rapper only adds to that really.
This guy said something entirely uncontroversial about the only rapper to win a Pulizer prize for his skill in writing and he's being downvoted to the underworld.
Something tells me a lot of Lemmy users either stopped listening to rap a decade ago or skew in a very particular demographic direction
