The point is to come out on top in the culture, not commercially 

Like y'all said Remy came out on top over Nicki? Now look where she is. If it's only for the culture, everyone only cares for the moment and forget about it tomorrow, which makes it entirely stupid.

The point is, and still stands, that Kendrick won't be pulling anywhere near these numbers once this beef is over, so it's literally all clout. The whole point of a rap beef is to "end" the other person and come out on top at the end of it all, and Kendrick won't come out on top over Drake commercially with his actual music. 

Drakes credibility is shot and has been going down the drain since 2018. He hasn't been the same since.

 

His machine is working overtime to make sure he retains his commercial appeal throughout this latest lost rap beef. Most of you truly have no concept of how shook this man and his team are right now. Drake has always been jealous of Kendricks respect in hip hop and with the critics. He can't even downplay Kendricks numbers like a Pusha T or Meek cause Kendrick has legit sold a ton of them. And this is without strictly pandering to a certain crowd or riding other black peoples aesthetic to go #1.

 Not a Drake stan at all, so not quite sure where you interpreted that, and never once did I imply Kendrick is an underground artist. We're on a pop forum full of teenage gays that know nothing about rap or rap beefs. You all jump to conclusions because of immediate results without considering the bigger picture.

Is this picture big enough for you?

You started to talk about stats then talk about bigger picture  Kendrick has two of the longest charting albums of all the time on BB I don't think he has to worry about charts.

btw kendrick's 8 year old album is outstreaming every drake album including his latest one, and has been. only 14 tracks too

[legendofthetour]

UMG need to start making calls, how can they let a song calling the guy they just paid $400M all these inappropriate names be breaking records and going #1?? What's going on here ??

And is that because of the beef or is it regularly out streaming all of them?

This is unhinged. He's out-streaming now because of clout, just like Meg with Nicki. The end results will be clear and you can bookmark it. 

Drake is outstreaming thanks to frequent releases and riding other black ethnic groups and cultures aesthetic. Now that Drake is forced to rap from his own perspective with the help of his sweat shop, he's not pulling in the same numbers and is down 4 for 4.

 

And now he's being bodied by a catchy enough diss track that's #1 on Spotify Global that he even said he liked. It's being played on ESPN. Being analyzed by professors and legal analysts. The Young Money roster is truly nothing without the machine and hiding behind numbers to overcompensate for mediocrity and questionable behavior against women and minors.

Oops! Missed that part. Anyways, point still stands and both artists will be just fine coming out from this, it definitely is getting them both to sell more records! Which is the true motivation for the beef

I don't understand why you act like Kendrick is not incredibly successful. He has two of the longest charting albums on BB 200.

And the comparison to Remy Ma makes very little sense. 

 

OT : It's surprising that Drake is losing at the numbers' game. I would have never imagined it.

Although a huge Kendrick's fan, I also like Drake although I don't follow him too much and don't know much about him tbh, I hope things don't go too much south.

You're the one on here assuming we all here not into Rap like we can't be into other genres than basic ass pop. A bunch of us were kids when Jayz and Nas beefed and know the history of the Biggie and Tupac.

 

You need to stfu and stop getting foot in mouth disease spewing bs up and down this thread.

 

 

 

And this is coming from someone is a fan of both artists. The numbers isn't the most important in this beef but it's insane K.Dot is beating the 6 God in biggest lane currently.

Imagine getting dethroned by a song calling you a pedophile

 

Congrats to King Kendrick

Bro, this is Kendrick Lamar what do you mean? He's literally the most successful rapper after Drake of his generation.

I never once said that so I'm not sure where you're getting that. The point is that everyone saying Drake is over because of Kendrick winning is beyond delusional, because Drake will be back to out-streaming Kendrick, as he was before, and will come out 100% untouched.

mcdonalds of rap was ended

Screaming. Not resorting to stats like this is a pop girl discussion.

 

Nas’ “Ether” is iconic because of what he did to Jay Z. That didn’t stop Jay Z from being an extremely successful rapper but Nas won the war. Trying to analyze rap beefs in the context of pop girl discussion is lame .

It’s not about “ending” someone’s success, it’s about the battle — the war of words, stepping up your pen game, for the culture.

So you went from trying to son Kendrick as if he was a Pusha, Remy or Meek and had all these excuses for his numbers and accolades,  to waiving the flag as "both" being fine.

 

We'll see. But as of now Drake and UMG are the ones in a crisis management and have have already started utilizing their outlets to attack. They've been doing it since Like That stuck. And that didn't work cause Kendrick, Future and Metro are big enough artists who have Diamond selling records and albums that stand on their own without Drake. He cannot straight bully and blackball this time.

No, you was actin like Kendrick can't do numbers without Drake when he's put up numbers that have competed with and even surpassed him at points. That's why Drake can't get out of this one. Kendrick got the numbers just like him.
