Drake definitely wins if he had Kendrick rapping about stuff he was fed, but for whatever reason I don’t even believe him. Even his talking at the end sounded like he was trying to act.

Nearly this entire thing is a miss.

  • He says the people who leaked the daughter thing are clowns, then proceeds to tell us he's so smart that he and his people leaked it. So Drake called himself a clown.
  • A good chunk of the song is based on a misunderstanding of Kendrick's Mother I Sober. Kendrick didn't say he was molested, he said that his mother asked him if he was and she didn't believe him when he told her no, because she was molested. Honestly, this makes Drake out to have no listening/reading comprehension and it makes him seem like he's scrubbing quickly through Kendrick's tracks trying to find ammo. It makes that whole chunk of the song fall flat.
  • Kendrick never said any names or anything regarding the pedophile allegations, yet here's Drake specifically bringing up Millie Bobby Brown and Bella Harris. The thing is when you put it all together there's a lot of evidence out there that's already known that lends credibility to Drake being a pedophile. Drake was texting Millie Bobby Brown when she was 14. He was hanging around Bella Harris when she was 17. He groped and kissed that one girl on stage and she was 17. You even have Tweets from Drake talking about (not an exact quote) "If amazing were underage I'd be in jail because I'm fucking amazing." What a weird thing to say. There's too much to mention here.
  • Drake says he planted the daughter stuff. Okay, let's see the receipts. He made a whole little video of him destroying the good kid, maad city van (wrong make and model, if I'm not mistaken) but there's no video of you supposedly cooking up this master plan to plant evidence? No screenshots of DMs? Nothing? Mighty convenient....
  • Let's say the daughter stuff is false. That removes one verse out of the four tracks that Kendrick has put out. All the rest of the tracks are still totally relevant.
  • Whitney never followed Kendrick on social media. Talking about who is or isn't following you on social media is such a high school way of thinking about relationships. It just plays into everything Kendrick has been saying about Drake not being a man, about being a 7 year old.
  • Drake still hasn't denied running a sex trafficking ring.
  • The play on music chords was dumb. Kendrick was saying something that actually hit with his. Plus a B-sharp isn't a thing.

This track is a huge miss, for me. Take the L, Drake.

Typical gaslighting from an abuser.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 6 months ago

Okay, so you addressed everything. But is it enough to change the momentum? I don't think so. He needs to drop another track.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Its fuck Drake all the way down but he is missing out on hitting hard on Kendricks support for abusers like Kodak Black XXXtentacion and RKelly. In that aspect there is not way Kendrick is not a hypocrite.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There is some nuance to the R Kelly thing. From what I understand the issue he had was that Spotify were delisting tracks from notable black abusers but not touching any of the white abuser backcatalogues. However, the nuance wouldn't really matter to make a good rebuttal in a track.

Drake sounds tired in this track tbh. Suspect this might be the last thing he releases.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Granted but he could have said delist the chili peppers not if you delist RKelly I will pull my music. Bur your point is taken.

He is definitely tired, he is probably worried about where this goes more than anything else.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I feel like people are missing the point of the daughter stuff being fed. It doesn't matter if it was 1 in 4 verses, it matters that Kendrick unintentionally lied.

As someone who doesn't follow the scene much, I am confused about one thing though. Does Drake not have a daughter, or is it just the information about the daughter was wrong?

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No one knows the truth. They’ve even found the daughter’s profile and her mom as well. I’ve never believed Drake period so I’m definitely not starting now.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

It's such a risky thing to double down on as Drake though. He knows ultra haters are going to do everything they can to dig up facts that point to the daughter being his, but he still claimed it wasn't. So for me, I'm gonna have to see serious proof before believing it
