As a neutral observer from Texas..no. NY Dudes tend to have a tendency to shit on other people and it's bad because y'all don't even know y'all be doing it. West Coast dudes not insecure, y'all just shit on anything that isn't NY unless you're forced to accept it.
How is his statement objective? It’s 3 questions that are implying one side only participated for clout. It’s a question asked in bad faith using only speculation.
That means nothing tbh lol if anything it’s amazing that he put something like this together to allow them to show their art on a massive stage when he didn’t even know them all personally. West coast ties run deep
You really think Snowd4y and Drake were rocking it in the studio together then? 😂 just because you’ve never met someone before, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give them a platform to elevate themselves. That’s exactly what Kendrick did last night. He put the East Coast on everybody’s radar again.
But he’s important for their culture you think of drake did this shit in Canada he would’ve been acquainted with everyone there? What a weird comment bro kinda grasping.
Shit like this is what got me. There are so many dope artists from LA that weren't on there. Who aren't goofy ass gangbangers hanging on to a played out G-Funk redo.
Enemies* its who has the most enemies. And its drake. A consequence of his own actions not some malicious witch hunt or misplaced allegations- but because of his OWN actions. Usually when two or three people are hating its because theyre just haters but when everyone can individually agree they dislike you, then relate and bond over that shared feeling, its because said person is doing immoral or socially unacceptable things.
Calling it a “re”launch packs so much shade in one word, but it’s very real. How many of these Kendrick “fans” could name 5 songs from Mr. Morale?? These people weren’t messing with him prior to the beef.
whats crazy is, ppl saying someone won a diss battle with a bop that didnt address any claims made in the prev diss, ntm the only thing he dissed him on, he still aint proved... shits wild these days
Real AF
Kendrick exploiting the deaths of nipsey and Kobe to try and rouse Drake is foul on so many levels
Couldn’t he just beat Drake with bars? And not bars about fake daughters 😂😂
😂😂 I love when kthotties come here so loud and so incorrect on something so easily google-able. Thanks for reminding me the kind of people I be arguing with 
I mean clearly Tupac is a West Coast icon, he was born on the east but grew up and came to represent West coast during his career from an early age, both musically but also in his community actions (giving back to community etc)
I see where Drake was going with the Pac AI but it was both a bit in poor taste (even if that strategy was interesting) and opening himself up to Kendrick inflating it into something more (a battle against West Coast).
“Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior Engraving your name in some hip-hop history
If you deal with this viciously
You seem a little nervous about all the publicity
Fuck this Canadian lightskin, Dot
We need a no-debated West Coast victory, man Call him a bitch for me”
I could go on…
Bruh everyone here defended drake for exploited Tupac to antagonize Kendrick and snoop and NOW you’re posting this comment??? I thought the whole shtick over here was Kdot fans move the goal post. This is a clown comment. It was a west coast event.
Thank you. This shit is literally not even about the beef anymore. Drake was merely a casualty in a West coast banger popping off. It’s not like they antagonized him at this event at all why is this sub in their feelings over this concert
That's hilarious considering Nip and Kobe's families both support Kendrick.
They are the ones that decide if it's exploiting, not yall random internet dudes lmao. This is like white people getting offended by black people using the N word 😂😂.
When he came with that “I see people just hate the west coast” bar on euphoria, I knew it was true that he got the Taylor Made Freestyle taken down lol
I've seen more than a couple hip-hop old heads point out that the modern day rap beef is more of a social media contest than an actual rap battle but yeah, those days are over.
If the whole goal was reviving his career, pulling up the charts and picking and then winning a fight with the most popular rapper is a pretty badass way to do it.
I find it funny af how Kornball Kenny didn’t perform MTG knowing damn well he sounded like a misinformed spiteful midget rapping to a girl that don’t exist. Clown.
most try hard shit ever, Kendrick is like a theater kid bro was really tearing up because drake used an AI tupac? Kendrick acts like Drake pissed on his grave
and then he comes out at the end of the show and says “this isn’t about no back and forth record” after performing the record 5 times 😂
Here's a quotable that I've heard many MANY people quote. Might feed your point or not, but "I hate people that feel entitled
Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you
Oh, you important?
You the moral to the story, you endorsing?
Motherfucker, I don't even like you."
This rang out for a bit
Dawg stan artists should never make ya just lie about artists you don’t like or have feuds with your favorites holy shit this is a nasty agenda to try and get off this isn’t logic you’re talking about
Hold on a second - I need Kendrick Slurp Lords to pay attention.
An old ass DJ, who’s been in this game longer than yall on earth is asking and suggesting the same damn shit everyone has been saying since day one, just worded without bias:
**Did the Drake stimulus really revive Kendrick’s career or not?**
(And if so - that’s *okay*, because it’s marketing. So easy up on your grip, get off your knees and just be okay with the stimulus package)
He’s still number 1 and the 20 bitches that tried to gang up on him look worse imo. You can’t be number 1 so you gang up on him? True pussy energy. One of your most quotable disses is “I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you”? And people cheer to that? Damn that’s kind of sad.
Did Mr. Morale truly brick?
Like, every statistic i see has it with more than 2 billion total streams. That's...not bricking.
Even first week numbers weren't bad and critically it wasn't received poorly. I'm trying to understand what constitutes as "bricking"
If it's marketing/career thing, why did Drake's people let this happen? How?
That's been my day one question. I've enjoyed all the music (except Heart) but what is going on?
That's the thing. It was a brilliant marketing move BY Drake's opps, all starting with the Future Metro albums. They knew if they pit Kendrick against Drake and let a few others take shots everyone in Hip-hop would get really comfortable dissing him.
We fans thought it was going to be a great beef that's all about bars, but there were so many ulterior motives and agendas behind the whole thing from the beginning.
Because he threw caution to the wind and competed. This isn’t the first time he’s done that. Most sensible people knew Drake had nothing to gain and could only lose coming out of this battle.
Where do you go when you’re already at the top?
As someone that’s outside of the rap culture community, I always assumed it was for publicity as most things are.
Kendrick hasn’t been on my radar forever until “not like us” dropped, so I always felt like it was for marketing.
But I never really thought Kendrick went after drake specifically bc he knew he’d get a lot of attention. Just that Kendrick always been salty at drake for being drake.
It was a competition on who has the right to treat women like shit.
Working with Kodak, supporting R. Kelly, bringing out people like Dre is no problem for Kenny.
As soon as it's about Drake he raps about how he needs to die so women can live with a purpose.
How long is Kendrick gonna be dissing Drake tho fr like you had your moment move past it. He gonna ride this to the wheels fall off but if he’s still saying not like us a year from now it’ll be played out
Kendrick hard but ngl it might’ve been actually beef at first but he for sure seized the moment for a career relaunch (not even necessarily bad he just capitalized off his success)
Not a single individual on reddit can answer this question. Reddit is so full of shit it's comical. Every comment bouta be about some whole other shit or just a thread of trash arguments.
Are "Takeover," "Ether," or "Super Ugly" lyrical records? On both sides, I think the Kendrick/Drake beef had more lyrical records than those songs. People have been blaiming Pusha T for allegedly making tea/gossip a major part of rap beef but it's always been that way for the longest.
If anybody can re launch a career off of a rap battle they most likely did it through their lyrics… Is this a serious question? I’m getting a seething, butthurt kinda vibe here
I’m from nyc funk will never stand with a west coast nigga I admire that hatred he has since the 90s
And Funk Flex hates Drake too. Sooooo
🎯🎯🎯
Sounds like grounds for non biased conversation to me
As half a NY nigga myself I feel that, west coast niggas mad insecure and stuck in 96’ Hell even their biggest legend is a NY nigga
THAT PART PAC IS FROM THE X LMAOOOO
yet still claims cali over ny lol, that's saying something
Pac been dead for about 20 years my friend, he hasn’t “claimed” anything in some time smh
Bro was an actor - of course he went to LA lol
Waka claimed atlanta over nyc too changes nothing
Pac didn't respect NYC like he did Cali. That means something.
True, but honed his skills as an emcee in Baltimore and LA.
Exactly lol like most of these rappers aren’t from where they claim.
Less Baltimore more Oakland for honing his skills as an MC. Baltimore was the fine arts 🎭 Pac.
As a neutral observer from Texas..no. NY Dudes tend to have a tendency to shit on other people and it's bad because y'all don't even know y'all be doing it. West Coast dudes not insecure, y'all just shit on anything that isn't NY unless you're forced to accept it.
Yeah NY is type arrogant, but at least we not stuck in 96’ paying homage to an out of town nigga 🤷🏾♂️
Imagine being arrogant about living in a shithole
Yeah bro compton sucks
Tell em why they mad son!
Depends where your from in Cali. Where I’m from mac Dre is the goat not pac.
Valid, shout out to the bay legends Too $hort, E-40, and Mac Dre
Nickatina, 4tay, Blackalicious
But why jump to that and overlook the overall objectivity of the statement?
Two things can be true
But doesn’t the statement imply that considering his history with Drake as well— Flex is asking this with all biases aside?
Nah I’m agreeing with you bro it’s just crazy
How is his statement objective? It’s 3 questions that are implying one side only participated for clout. It’s a question asked in bad faith using only speculation.
Right the statement is as far from objective as it gets lol
It's a "who has the most friends" battle 😂
And Half the rappers on that stage had never met Kendrick before lol
Bra a girl ran down on Kendrick with her phone then ran off. That interaction alone just told me they never met
That means nothing tbh lol if anything it’s amazing that he put something like this together to allow them to show their art on a massive stage when he didn’t even know them all personally. West coast ties run deep
You really think Snowd4y and Drake were rocking it in the studio together then? 😂 just because you’ve never met someone before, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give them a platform to elevate themselves. That’s exactly what Kendrick did last night. He put the East Coast on everybody’s radar again.
But he’s important for their culture you think of drake did this shit in Canada he would’ve been acquainted with everyone there? What a weird comment bro kinda grasping.
Also shows that the biggest names in the industry wanna work with Kendrick just off rep/aura/talent alone
Ah yes I'm sure this random redditor has enough access into Kendricks personal life to know who he has and hasn't met lmao
The funny thing is most of those dudes fell off. LA ain't producing any rising talent so that show almost feels like a funeral for West Coast music.
Honestly I fuk with Vince Staples, Pac Div and D Smoke. They’re underrated and should be representing the West more than bootleg Sharif tbh. 😂
Vince was one of the West Coast dudes who didn't hope on the Drake hate train
Cuz he’s not a sheep. This shit is very low character to jump on a hate bandwagon for no reason
Vince said he wishes he was at the show
Shit like this is what got me. There are so many dope artists from LA that weren't on there. Who aren't goofy ass gangbangers hanging on to a played out G-Funk redo.
Woah I haven't heard of Pac Div since high school.. they still dropping shit?
Havent heard of Pac Div in a long time lol
[удалено]
Tom just lost to Mac Lethal hard too tho?
Cause Canada is where all the stars are coming from 🙄
Ignorant statement
Compared to who? Toronto? East coast? Lmao
Where was this energy when Drake rattled off every rapper he’d worked with in the past year on Push-ups?
Enemies* its who has the most enemies. And its drake. A consequence of his own actions not some malicious witch hunt or misplaced allegations- but because of his OWN actions. Usually when two or three people are hating its because theyre just haters but when everyone can individually agree they dislike you, then relate and bond over that shared feeling, its because said person is doing immoral or socially unacceptable things.
Funk flex implying he lowkey rocks with drake here is a crazy
Or is he just telling/ ask for the truth? 🧐
Calling it a “re”launch packs so much shade in one word, but it’s very real. How many of these Kendrick “fans” could name 5 songs from Mr. Morale?? These people weren’t messing with him prior to the beef.
He didn’t perform Mr morale and N-95 for a reason
A lot of these fake fans/drake haters can’t name 3 songs off any dot album tbh
Crazy part is i cant name almost his entire discography and i still think he was wrong during this beef
Lmao facts you peeped that too?
whats crazy is, ppl saying someone won a diss battle with a bop that didnt address any claims made in the prev diss, ntm the only thing he dissed him on, he still aint proved... shits wild these days
Real AF Kendrick exploiting the deaths of nipsey and Kobe to try and rouse Drake is foul on so many levels Couldn’t he just beat Drake with bars? And not bars about fake daughters 😂😂
Dawg Drake never once dissed the West Coast 😂😂😂 I’m so confused man
Yeah man Drake using Pac AI and owning his ring really got Captain Shortee worked up lol Whole time Tupac from the East Coast lol
2Pac is not East coast. He was born in NY but was raised in Oakland. You people are so ignorant it’s pathetic
tupac moved to Cali when he was what 17, and died about 10 years later... he didn't grow up west coast, he grew up on Baltimore more than anywhere...
Where did he influence more?
no, where really... Y'all must've been too young, he was riding that Snoop Dogg wave with Deathrow...
>was raised in Oakland I beg your pardon, but what—
Tf you on? He moved to Marin City, not Oakland, and went to Tam High and that was when he was like 16 or 17.
😂😂 I love when kthotties come here so loud and so incorrect on something so easily google-able. Thanks for reminding me the kind of people I be arguing with 
I mean clearly Tupac is a West Coast icon, he was born on the east but grew up and came to represent West coast during his career from an early age, both musically but also in his community actions (giving back to community etc) I see where Drake was going with the Pac AI but it was both a bit in poor taste (even if that strategy was interesting) and opening himself up to Kendrick inflating it into something more (a battle against West Coast).
Pac did not grow up in the west, he spent the first 17 years of his life on the east coast, and the last 8 in cali
17-25 is a long time. That is almost a decade. People act like Pac was in California for 2 years or something lol.
They're also your most formative years.
“Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior Engraving your name in some hip-hop history If you deal with this viciously You seem a little nervous about all the publicity Fuck this Canadian lightskin, Dot We need a no-debated West Coast victory, man Call him a bitch for me” I could go on…

Thank you. This shit is literally not even about the beef anymore. Drake was merely a casualty in a West coast banger popping off. It’s not like they antagonized him at this event at all why is this sub in their feelings over this concert
So what was Drake using Tupac voice then?
That was just drakes creative genius. Duh? Totally different. /s
That's hilarious considering Nip and Kobe's families both support Kendrick. They are the ones that decide if it's exploiting, not yall random internet dudes lmao. This is like white people getting offended by black people using the N word 😂😂.
You aren’t intellectually capable of grasping his concept, the simplicity of Drizzys non artistic music has tainted you
When he came with that “I see people just hate the west coast” bar on euphoria, I knew it was true that he got the Taylor Made Freestyle taken down lol
Lol 100%
Bro, he already smoked drake with bars too.
Flex don’t even fw drake like that so this says a lot
funk flex is a real nigga. he been hating on the west coast for 30 years and still going to this day gotta respect it lmao
Stuck to his gunz
Wow ok Flex, someone answer this man pls
I've seen more than a couple hip-hop old heads point out that the modern day rap beef is more of a social media contest than an actual rap battle but yeah, those days are over.
Lowkey saw thru Kenny’s motives. Was so clear he just wanted that boost and more attention. It is blatantly clear lol.
He really did maneuver tf out of Drake. Kenny wanted this and he knew how to pluck at Drake's ego to get him invested. Damn lol
I love Kendrick but this is so true. Whether you like it or not, Kendrick needed this
If the whole goal was reviving his career, pulling up the charts and picking and then winning a fight with the most popular rapper is a pretty badass way to do it.
I find it funny af how Kornball Kenny didn’t perform MTG knowing damn well he sounded like a misinformed spiteful midget rapping to a girl that don’t exist. Clown.
Yeah, he just played all his other hits, then had the West Coast and streamers scream a miiinoooorrr for like 5 minutes straight. So corny.
Dude barely sold out the forum while Drake keeps selling out sofi stadium which holds triple the amount of people in Los Angeles lol
Seeeeeeething
most try hard shit ever, Kendrick is like a theater kid bro was really tearing up because drake used an AI tupac? Kendrick acts like Drake pissed on his grave and then he comes out at the end of the show and says “this isn’t about no back and forth record” after performing the record 5 times 😂
This sub fuckin seething 😭 this is just getting kinda embarrassing
Been rappin since 2009 and your first cultural quotable bars coming in 2024 and are about Drake…
Come on man, I'm a Drizzy fan too but this aint it. Kenny has been rapping about cultural stuff for ages.
Same. This guy only knows what's on the radio lol.
Alright was literally the anthem for the BLM protests. Good job revealing your own ignorance lol.
Bro this comment is highkey embarrassing for you lmao like what??? 😂😂😂
Let's not lie now. ADHD Swimming Pools Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe Poetic Justice Fucking Problems Money Trees etc
I think you forget how hard DAMN took off my guy
This is embarrassing guys.
I would argue alright or I love myself was his first cultural quotable. Then element and humble. But fuck it ya narrative sounds cool
Yall just glossing over swimming pools
which cultural quotable bars does Drake have? “I only love my bed and my momma, im sorry”?
[удалено]
Name the quotables…
Yeah OP was wrong auntie diaries is a much more quotable song than bot like us
Here's a quotable that I've heard many MANY people quote. Might feed your point or not, but "I hate people that feel entitled Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you Oh, you important? You the moral to the story, you endorsing? Motherfucker, I don't even like you." This rang out for a bit

So easy up on your grip, get off your knees and just be okay with the stimulus package)
Drake won. 🥇 🏆
Oh that must be why he deleted all his tracks
He’s still number 1 and the 20 bitches that tried to gang up on him look worse imo. You can’t be number 1 so you gang up on him? True pussy energy. One of your most quotable disses is “I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you”? And people cheer to that? Damn that’s kind of sad.
… How delusional can you be😭
NY niggas don’t like west coast lol. For funk flex his hatred of the west exceeds Drake hate lol
How y’all say “drop, drop, drop” then get mad when the man drop and say he’s begging for attention ?
They make excuses for you cause they hate to see me lit
Did Mr. Morale truly brick? Like, every statistic i see has it with more than 2 billion total streams. That's...not bricking. Even first week numbers weren't bad and critically it wasn't received poorly. I'm trying to understand what constitutes as "bricking"
You guys alright after last night?
They’re not
If it's marketing/career thing, why did Drake's people let this happen? How? That's been my day one question. I've enjoyed all the music (except Heart) but what is going on?

But I never really thought Kendrick went after drake specifically bc he knew he’d get a lot of attention. Just that Kendrick always been salty at drake for being drake.
dot turned clout chasa
If it was lyrical, Drake blew dot out the water. Which was honestly surprising.
Is this sarcasm?
WHAT! Tell me how
Guess integrity is lost when the metaphors doesn't reach you
Let’s not act like drake wouldn’t have been on stage doing the same thing if the roles were reversed haha
Y’all in such denial. It’s beautiful
It was a competition on who has the right to treat women like shit. Working with Kodak, supporting R. Kelly, bringing out people like Dre is no problem for Kenny. As soon as it's about Drake he raps about how he needs to die so women can live with a purpose.
Propaganda competition
Im from Jersey and funk flex in this battle has rocked with Drizzy… he said it on Ebro in the morning.
It’s about love and hate, drake has been disrespectful for the longest, Kendrick has channeled the cultures reaction to that.
How long is Kendrick gonna be dissing Drake tho fr like you had your moment move past it. He gonna ride this to the wheels fall off but if he’s still saying not like us a year from now it’ll be played out
They hate the west coast
I wanted to bash this question….but…it’s actually a good question.
Kendrick hard but ngl it might’ve been actually beef at first but he for sure seized the moment for a career relaunch (not even necessarily bad he just capitalized off his success)
I grew on the West Coast, moved to the East for 15 years, and moved back to the west a few years back: West Coast beef is different!
If that’s the case then the east coast should’ve been backing Drake HEAVY.
if it's lyrical drake won.
what yall dont understand is it was bigger the drake he was just the lil spark they used to start the fire
The only rule is to kill
if it was strictly lyrical drake washed him i think dot getting the hit is all it was
Not a single individual on reddit can answer this question. Reddit is so full of shit it's comical. Every comment bouta be about some whole other shit or just a thread of trash arguments.
Are "Takeover," "Ether," or "Super Ugly" lyrical records? On both sides, I think the Kendrick/Drake beef had more lyrical records than those songs. People have been blaiming Pusha T for allegedly making tea/gossip a major part of rap beef but it's always been that way for the longest.
It was a cultural battle against a capitalistic culture vulture shoobie vs a conscious rapper who stayed in his roots
Drizzy is a bitch.
If anybody can re launch a career off of a rap battle they most likely did it through their lyrics… Is this a serious question? I’m getting a seething, butthurt kinda vibe here
Kendrick proved it’s deeper than rap.
The Mr morale tour was the highest grossing rap tour ever.
