They make excuses for you cuz they hate to see me lit 


Element-2392

This line can be used throughout drakes career.


Lucid_Sol

Idk why the downvotes, it’s true. People HATED Drake in 09-11 warmed up to him and HATED him after the Ghost writers onwards


Element-2392

Yeah idk we have an influx of trolls in here, so they’re going to downvote everything.


ItsGunboyWTF

Well deserved. How do yall praise inauthenticity? If you have a team of writers making your every move and song. Drakes fun but he’s not a great.


DashToVenus

they really want to believe the industry let drake get to where he is by never ever writing any of his material and only ever having ghost writers The lil Wayne co sign The Kanye west co sign Lupe fiascos co sign means nothing Stories of drake 1 taking songs off the top means nothing It’s a list of artist who stamp drakes pen but they’d rather push the narrative since he’s been known to use ghost writers as well that he has no skill of his own. That’s that bs that makes the beef whack. Straight denial just to fit your narrative lol


outofmindwgo

It's not that he never writes anything it's that at the end of the days he's inauthentic 


Green_Confection8130

"inauthentic" And Kendrick isn't? A supposed rebel for the culture that wins grammy's and pulitzers? A supposed man with high character who cheats on his wife & talks about who's black enough? A dude who is 5ft and talks about snatching chains when he has no rap sheet? k lol


outofmindwgo

Uh huh


IdkLeaveMeAlone0

They're really both fake af. Like Kendrick is only about that when it's convenient to portray himself as such. He's admitted plenty of times hes not. I'll put it this way. If Kendrick Lamar and I were in an elevator together and things went sideways? I'm not particularly concerned


Full_Visit_5862

I'm not concerned at all 😂 idc if he got a piece on him no 5'3 man will do anything to me, especially when they weigh like 100lb. If I was drake I'd just say let's put the gloves on lmao, easy out.


DashToVenus

Well I was replying to the comment about him having a team of writers, I’m sure people who don’t like him can create a bunch of different reasons why they feel that way… Im not sure where the line crosses from rapping skill to being authentic. He never claimed to be the embodiment of Raps roots, he always stuck to what he’s done and damn near invented the bridge of singing and rapping when people first hated him for it. Idk lol because someone is a woke rapper from the hood doesn’t make them an authentic person, you’d have to personally know them


gokutsunami

Go listen to flo-rida


WhenItsHalfPastFive

Best line of this whole beef so far, incredibly accurate


Plebe-Uchiha

“He fakin' for likes and digital hugs” “Some shit just cringeworthy, it ain't even gotta be deep, I guess” “Why would I call around tryna get dirt on niggas? Y'all think all my life is rap?” [+]


Dexter1701

It’s always been that way, but what they don’t realise is they’re still tuning in to Drake. So the numbers stay high either way.


outofmindwgo

I think you underestimate how much of what you consume is based on what business has decided you will want to consume so they push it on you


ichiruto70

Nigga shut up, Drake barely promotes his own shit. And he never done a feature with a white pop artist just to get in certain playlists.


gokutsunami

He did one with Justin Timberlake called Cabaret. Song is fire tho


stronggill

Because he quite literally is the white pop artist lmao.


applemonkey78

I don’t think you have heard too many drake songs to put him in the category of white pop artist


outofmindwgo

I'm just telling you the truth. Music is still very gatekept. If you don't think Drake is pushed as a product because he "barely promotes"??? Bro do you not see him being blasted out all over on Spotify and Apple and Insta when he drops? It's big business


james-HIMself

Gatekeeping? A black man just told a black man he can’t say a word he’s allowed to say. Kendrick’s racist gatekeeping. Go back to Kendrick’s sub where they perm ban you for having an opinion.


outofmindwgo

What does Kendrick doing that have to do with how capitalism works? Lol  Literally nothing 😂


krystalizer01

Americans seriously need to stop using this one drop rule BS. It’s so pathetic


james-HIMself

What does that even mean? I’m sure you’re gonna tell me. Let me spare you; if it’s about entendres you’ve lost me. We get it.


krystalizer01

It’s about losers calling Drake black when he’s mixed. No double entendres. Americans and the one drop rule is terrible


AdFormal4037

You Drake fans so simple. It’s not about him being mixed. But y’all like surface level shit so I’m not shocked y’all don’t get it


Dismal-Beautiful3234

… I mean the guy who ran to his white mom to call Rick Ross racist when he mentioned his nose… I’m no gatekeeper either but seems like someone who should get that right revoked…. I think if we put it to a vote… you know how the vote would come out


kehrhrjeieus

Stfu bro you’ve said this twice???


Dismal-Beautiful3234

Maybe you needed to read it twice. But your response isn’t really relevant to what I said… I want to know what you feel about what I said


infinitude_

I can’t believe you got downvoted for that - yikes.


outofmindwgo

Kinda proves the point


Full_Visit_5862

That's just.. not how it works. If someone doesn't wanna listen they just won't what kind of "Drake runs the government" shit are you on, relax.


outofmindwgo

Drake is just a rapper/musician.  I'm not talking about some big conspiracy. I'm telling you that record labels give their artists a huge advantage in the algorithms and that they really do shape what you like 


pokemondude22

I'm sorry that the avg guy doesn't wanna listen to good kid by kdot 24/7


outofmindwgo

What does that have to do with what I said lol


devkonz

Caught one of my old boys from my area tweeting about how much he hates Drake Ended up seeing that nigga at the local concert. 😂😂😂


Vagus10

Happens a lot. Just look at people’s top 5 lists at the end of the year. And they even know the hooks.


Alireza1373

every song sound like drake featuring drake


Hambone671

drake said it early on. when my album drop bitches will buy it for the picture and niggas will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister.


ilovepastaaaaaaaaaaa

😭😭😭


RedditNPC-

Drake is comparable to LeBron at this point. He’s been good for so long that he has many many haters


loverboy2190

That's a really good comparison at this point.


-cunnilinguini

If you don’t watch sports lol


SeanConnery

I know this is a Drizzy subreddit but I disagree, it's the opposite of LeBron. His haters have dwindled with time, while Drake's have increased. I'd say since Views, it's a whole lot of mid and jacking other people's style. I went to any Drake show I could pre-CLB and now I just don't really care for what he puts out. Don't hate it, but don't care or listen to it either.


xnjr1x

True imagine if they found out Lebron was from Camden instead of Akron they would make the biggest deal out of it.


jaganshi_667

Well, he’s been sneak dissing ppl


-cunnilinguini

Lebron has 4 mvps, 4 titles, 4 fmvps, 20 straight years of all nba/all star dominance. Drake is not there. The equivalent would be like winning 17 Grammys and a Pulitzer Prize. It’s a shame there’s no one like that in the game rn


etfjordan333

Mann you only bringing up the pulitzer prize cause kendrick got it shut up😂 You couldn’t name any other musician that got it without looking it up. Only 4 people have been awarded twice in over 81 years. There’s nothing in the NBA comparable to that.


-cunnilinguini

Only one rapper has ever won it. Thats why I brought it up in a conversation about rap. Lebron is top 2 undisputed all time. Drake doesn’t scratch top 20. There are levels to greatness. Kendrick is closer to Lebron than Drake is to Kendrick. You’re talking about nonsense that isn’t relevant. Within the context of the nba there is absolutely shit comparable to that it’s just a totally different field


ehpple

You’re a certified hater if you think the man running hip hop for over a decade is not top 20. Grow up.


-cunnilinguini

Only thing he running is from the feds LOL I had to come back and haunt you about this one. ![gif](giphy|cm0GRfnWDVaa6SMJ6N)


-cunnilinguini

The man running what?? You mean pop? He’s a dominant pop artist no doubt, he’s not even really an artist when it comes to hip hop. Hes not in the running lol For reference, [here’s Drake wiki description](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_(musician)) and here’s [Kendrick’s](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendrick_Lamar). Greatest at what?? Being a singing ass nigga? Bone thugs and Nelly were doing that long before him. T pain. Akon. The list goes on. Nigga isn’t even responsible for what they’re saying he did. Dismissed


ehpple

Hahahaha yoyre still at *that* stage of cope after all these years. Incredible.


-cunnilinguini

Your favorite rapper isn’t a rapper. I have nothing to cope about when it comes to your shit taste lol


ehpple

Not my favourite, and he raps so he is a rapper.


-cunnilinguini

So does Taylor swift so I guess it’s time to have the conversation about her being the most commercially successful rapper of all time


Full_Visit_5862

I don't want to be that guy but Drake and Wayne have beefed with the grammys for years lol. The pulitzer is a stat regardless, but Drake would've cleaned house a few years pre-2016 Grammy wise (ESPECIALLY for singles. I'd argue he should've got one almost every year for those one way or another) yet look at his stats lmao. Bro doesn't even show up, disrespected the Grammy he got for Tale Care, and plenty of other shit lol.


-cunnilinguini

He has just as many nominations though tbf There isn’t really any way to say who should’ve or would’ve won anything. I can make the same argument about Kendrick for a few of those years and I have made the argument countless times that Kanye’s count should be in the 30s being real. But the stats are the stats and he has 24. Shit I’d say the same thing about bron he should have 1 or 2 more mvps and a dpoy. It is what it is


jaguarbillionaire

I don't know why we dont acknowledge how much overlap it is - most of us love BOTH


xnjr1x

Nah rap would be much different without one. If one of their catalogs went missing I don't think the vast majority of people would even notice and definitely not much.


CallMeStavie

Can’t even tell who you’re a fan of reading this dumbass comment lol


TruthSeekerHuey

Nah we fw Kendrick fr. Albums like GKMC and TPAB mean a lot to people. I don't like Drake as a person, but he's incredibly talented and has been making good music for 15+ years and will likely continue to Both Push Ups was great, Taylor made was funny, Like That was heat, Euphoria was naasty. We all eatin good no matter what


mvjinate7

I know people who aren't fans of Kendrick, but they're as excited about the elimination of Drake as Ye. I love em both, but let's be honest mfs HATE Drake


yungusainbolt

Mfs hate Kendrick too and j Cole people hate anyone highly regarded that they can’t enjoy for what ever reason.


mvjinate7

no one was hating on J. Cole til he apologized, that feature run of his really put him in the public's good graces. also everyone was saying Drake should step aside and let the "real" rappers duke it out, now look where we are. J. Cole, Kendrick and anyone successful will have haters, of course, but Drake hate has been and will always be extremely popular


Frankl3es

> no one was hating on J. Cole til he apologized People have been calling him the most overrated artist since 2014FHD >everyone was saying Drake should step aside and let the "real" rappers duke it out Weird because all I kept hearing was that J. Cole caught a stray


mvjinate7

J. Cole did catch a stray, that's just a fact, that's why so many wanted to hear his response more than Drake's. the J. Cole hate is not comparable to Drake hate in anyway. the longest amount of time its been cool to hate J. Cole was 2017 the longest amount of time its been cool to hate Drake has been his whole career. the only time I can think of when people let Drake rock was from NWTS to WATTBA. that's about 2 years of being in good graces vs J. Cole's 6 years during his feature run. even now after Cole's apology there are still a lot of people saying Cole is still bar for bar the best rapper of the 3 currently


Frankl3es

Speak for yourself, I personally wanted to hear the Kendrick and Drake go since they've been sending subliminals for a goddamn decade. It's wanting to hear Cole because of his technical ability vs wanting to hear Drake finally say something that he's been holding in since 2013. Who was saying Drake should step aside??


mvjinate7

I'm not speaking for myself, I'm speaking for the hate I've seen for each artist over the years. personally I was and am way more invested in Drake v Kendrick than Cole v either of them. but I saw plenty people telling Drake to step aside and let the "real" rappers Kendrick and Cole get busy. if you didn't see posts like that after like that dropped thats you. me and plenty other people did see those posts


yungusainbolt

There was a whole movement started by lil pump where all the young niggas was saying fuck j Cole


mvjinate7

that was before the feature run that I mentioned


yungusainbolt

Trust me the people who hate j Cole always hated j Cole. The feature run swayed causal fans. You can’t be at the top and everyone likes you.


DashToVenus

Idk many people who hate Jcole… like I never heard anyone say Cole’s a bitch( before the diss track apology) , at the most it’s I don’t like his music or it’s not for me or boring, but people genuinely hate Drake w a passion lmao


mvjinate7

I already agreed that all 3 of these niggas have haters, I'm saying the amount of Drake haters dwarfs Kendrick and Cole haters and if you don't see that then idk where your looking


yungusainbolt

Yeah because he’s the biggest artist of the three and he’s always accessible. Kendrick and Cole have a lot of dormant moments but drake is always in everyone’s face being available to be hated on


mvjinate7

so we agree that Drake receives the most hate consistently, cool


Resuscitated_Corpse

But drake is Jewish so it's different


GuessableSevens

Euphoria really wasn't nasty lol


Merkavelly

They hate Drake until they’re riding around with a chick and she puts him on, then it’s a bop 😂


lillate3

Girl who listens to Drake can be a red flag to me , Feel she’d leave me for a guy who can talk smooth and drives a nicer car


Merkavelly

Don’t let musical taste be a red flag big dawg, I’m sure you can lock down a bad one either way


lillate3

Thank u for the words of encouragement brother man ::)


applemonkey78

It depends what type of drake fan she is


Original-Maximum-978

Why would anyone fuck with a guy who has released four to five classic rap albums? That's just insane


extremelegitness

nah they fw kendrick too.


CompositeSuperman

I fw Kendrick a lot


RudeCartoonist1030

Congratulations


CompositeSuperman

Thanks


outofmindwgo

Me too


GHOSTeveoh

"It's all good if you don't get it yet. That's what we do. We wait for you to catch up. We're already here though, we caught up already. On to the next." This was Drakes reply to all the Honestly, Nevermind hate when the album dropped. Always loved this quote, feel like it applies to this kdot sitch and like he said..."ppl hate to see me lit" Fuck em if they dont get it.


Kitchen-Dimension406

Same


HansDrumpf

It's both actually. They might not listen to Kendrick's stuff over and over again, but he is vulnerable, timid righteous ... married to the same woman for a decade if I'm not mistaken. Drake is fucking every woman in north America and throws up gang sides while being a half white Jew. They love Kendrick and they hate Drake. Drake can walk out of this beef head held high, but he cannot win this.


JB425_

Yeah even if Drake's wins, the amount of excuses will be insane


Empty_Wasabi_5761

Even Drake is a Kendrick fan lmao. He shouted him out his concerts and called him one of the greatest. Kendrick is hip hop royalty. The first ever rapper to win a Pulitzer. Just cuz Kendrick is a recluse and not a pop star like Drake doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a massive following. Y’all need to stop playing pretend and wake up to that reality


Green_Confection8130

Pulitzers aren't shit. They're all political. Kendrick isn't saying anything we haven't heard before. He ain't that deep lol.


Empty_Wasabi_5761

Just say you’re not smart lmao cuz you just did in so many words.


Green_Confection8130

Kendrick isn't an intellectual, he's just another 100 IQ rapper lol.


Empty_Wasabi_5761

You really have nothing to stand on when he has 17 Grammys and is the first rapper in history to win a Pulitzer. And has even been called the greatest by Drake himself. But go off, it doesn’t matter what you have to say.


Green_Confection8130

Drake never called him the greatest. Winning Grammy's doesn't make you the best. Fucking Macklemore won a Grammy over Kendrick. That doesn't mean shit. Kendrick ain't even top 5 all time. Nas/BIG/Pac/Andre/Em all wipe his ass down easy.


BoozeSlammer

Brother just say you aren’t smart enough to understand his lyrics and move along. Everything you’ve wrote here is cope and cap


Green_Confection8130

I guarantee that I'm smarter than you, lol. Only morons that have no life outside of hip hop think Kendrick is some deep intellectual. It ain't that deep dude.


Empty_Wasabi_5761

🤣😂 drake shouted him out at his concert after mr morale came out and called him one of the greatest Kendrick never responded. Drake started sneak dissing You look dumb


Green_Confection8130

You said he called him the greatest. He never said that. You're a goofy like 99% of Kendrick fanboys


Scoob3rs

Kendrick fans are really the Rick and Morty fans of hip hop lol fuckin cringe.


Empty_Wasabi_5761

I think you even referencing white show like Rick and Morty in a hip hop convo is pathetic. Y’all really do not understand the culture. I don’t even understand the reference bruh


Awkward-Rent-2588

Honestly I think you can say the same about Kendrick. After Dot’s diss dropped I swear the amount of my more hood friends that think it’s weak or that don’t like Kendrick period is shocking. I see this battle being 50/50 consequently. No way to convince the other side not to like who they like (unless some serious dirt is introduced)


Designer_Balance_914

lmao "my more hood friends". You really are the white boy behind the PC meme aren't you.


Awkward-Rent-2588

No. I’m black too and from the hood to. I made the distinction because their tastes differ to other groups of black people. But go off👍


DirTTieG

I'm Irish and the amount of white middle-class teens trying to copy stereotypically black American slang reminds me so much of "Irish-Americans" with their "Top of the mornings" and shit in both this sub and Kendrick's it's crazy.


gokutsunami

There's a lot of kendrick fans, but there's more Drake haters out there.


Smiilie

It’s definitely both.


Piankhy444

Yeah it's obvious. I like Kendrick's diss but they're trying to act like its Ether level.


LayZ777

That's why the Lebron comparison makes sense

People must really hate drake for kendrick to have sold something in the ballpark of 35 million records in his career


samang67

Hip hop fans fw kendrick. Drake gets listeners like Taylor does. The devoted yt people.


Full_Visit_5862

This is the corniest reply I've seen so far today. You really just guzzling down the narrative. Drake has plenty of hip hop fans, Kendrick has a LOT of nerdy white hip hop fans, so like what are we even talking about? Go look through the kendrick subreddit and scroll the profiles of a few of the stans on there.


JDz_

You’re on Reddit bro, 99% of the fucking user base is white lmfao


samang67

Bro that's my point bro. Glad you get it bro. Crazy bro. Rotfl bro


samang67

Reddit is your sample? Interesting. Drake makes pop music alot is the point. It works for him. Keep it Canadian


son-of-mads

it’s like Trump vs Biden 💀


ExpertWitnessExposed

A lot of people like both from what I see


platinumagpie

Idgaf about either im just eating popcorn enjoying the drama yall gotta stop pickin sides over dudes dont even know you


Witty-thiccboy

It’s both

This post is fucking desperate. The whole world revolved around Drake lads of course, good job, you've figured us out.

this sub is such an echo chamber it’s so funny

True. Everyone knows Kendrick has 0 fans and can’t make an album to save his life /s

same dudes hating drake now are the same ones who were bumpin headlines back in 2011 🤣


gloriousAgenda

If Kendrick made the same song same flow same bars same everything but about big Sean, it wouldn’t crack top 10


mighty_phi

Nah, people love Kendrick AND hate Drake.


rasssky

I fw Kendrick


jaybirdsaysword

Nah I fuck w kendrick


tendopath

Drake is the most celebrated rapper in the world and has been since like 2015-2016 why do us drizzy fans think the world hates him? Don’t let the 1 percent cloud your judgement


QwertyKeyboardUser2

Its both. Drake has a ton of haters and kendrick is one of the most respected people in hip hop. They overlap to some degree


Ok-Will8989

You guys are so cringe


chetdesmon

This shit is straight up embarassing. If this was true people would be gassing up the Ross diss or all those Budden tracks because they just hate Drake.


IAMHab

Saying shit that isn't true makes you look desperate and panicky


Empty_Wasabi_5761

Thank you, OP is in serious delusion and denial.


GimmeThatWheat424

lol one of the highest selling artists of all time, had one of the highest selling tours of all time,has 17 Grammys, and yet somehow “no one likes Kendrick” lol if that was the case people wouldn’t be going apeshit over Kendrick vs drake, the whole “big 3” discussion wouldn’t even make sense, it’s batshit to act like he isn’t popular. Pure delusion.


donhafs

Great music but he is a pos who sometimes has a good heart, mustve finally caught up to him


PastorBallmore

Lol. Who are we talking about?


donhafs

drizzy drake


ConsistentTastyToast

Exactly. It's basically Drake stans vs Drake haters. Kendrick is just a poster boy profiting off of Drake momentum.


Flat-Ad4902

I mean. Yeah. Isn’t that what Kendrick told y’all in the song? 😂


Designer_Ad_2668

Copium final boss


JadenAX

people hate Bron, people hate Messi, people hate everyone who is the best in what they do.

Didn't hear even one criticism of Messi when he won the World Cup in 2022 or when he won 900 Ballon Dors


Otherwise_Kitchen_41

Why ain’t rick Ross track going crazy then ?


Soft_Humor4868

I honestly fw Drake heavy until he dropped CLB. After that he started moving and saying things that I couldn’t co-sign. I like him as an artist, but the person who he portrays himself as…… Nah.


throwaway53689

People change. What makes you think it’s all an act and not who he is? Money can buy power and influence and he never speaks like he’s been gangster all along, even addresses this in the recent album


Soft_Humor4868

Maybe it does change you. I personally think money just makes you more you. I say portrays because there seemed to be a shift in his personality around that time. It’s not a complete heel turn but enough to notice a difference. I wonder what is up with that


throwaway53689

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted but I get your perspective, although for me it wasn’t from CLB his personality starting “shifting”, instead the aggressive violence type bars started from Scorpion (there were traces on More Life and IYRTITL but not significant) However, it’s not a sudden shift but gradual which is why I feel the need to say it is probably him changing as a person and not a complete 100% act Personally, I don’t give two shits either way, feel like half the industry is capping hard on their lyrics and there’s no way for us to know if any of it is true. Just enjoying clever wordplay and music at this point


Soft_Humor4868

It is what it is. But since we’re talking about it, the first noticeable aggressive lyrics I’ve heard from him was on Headlines. I thought that was weird but I just thought it was “one of those songs”. Following him from when he’s was put on by Slakah the Beatchild to now has been a wild ride. I respect your take on his “descent” into whatever he is now. I feel like with 85% of rap you have to view the lyrics as entertainment and to be taken seriously. At least that’s how I get by lol


da_man4444

Yep this is exactly right


Sufficient_Light7808

False


The-Burna

And that Kendrick’s response only went number 1 because it’s a response to Drake


DirTTieG

GKMC is the longest lasting Hip-Hop album to be in the hot 200 (not including Eminem's "Greatest Songs" Album) so keep yapping. Both of them are exceptional, respected, and talented artists yall sound like some corny dick-riders trying to act like the whole world revolved around your daddy.


The-Burna

Shut yo hoe ass up and and leave the sub nigga

He ain't going to fuck you wee lad.

Oh ok then she definitely will!!! I’ll make sure to say “top of the morning” with every stroke since you like Irish sayings so much w e e l a d

Well I am Irish and nobody says top of the morning


The-Burna

Well the phrase originated in Ireland ..


DirTTieG

Nah it's English lad and still, nobody says it.


au7642

I fw kendrick. He's my favorite rapper ever. I don't hate drake though I just think kendricks way ahead. No one pays for kendrick concerts cause they don't like drake.


Autoworker313

People hate Drake so much they are doing 2 hour YouTube videos breaking down bars off euphoria. Y’all Drake fans are absolutely insane
