It's really weird how he's dropping music lately. Either a feature or "leaking" stuff first before putting on streaming. Makes me wonder if him or his team are worried about solo performance following the beef. It's like the stock market when you lose 90% of your portfolio but you don't wanna sell because then it's a "fully realized loss"
That’s kinda the danger when he and his fam base put so much stock in streaming numbers and chart positioning - you kinda become beholden to that. You make a good point.
@@RobMarkman Prison of his own making for sure. They can always fall back on "it's just a feature" or "it was just a throw away" to mask it. But at some point, he's gonna have to release an album. And if that does poorly, then the worse fear is confirmed. That beef really did do damage that can't be shrugged off.
Kendrick has a side to him thats psychotic, dangerous and focused. We got a glimpse of that on 'Meet the grahams'. If Round 2 happens it will get messier and darker. I don't even think Kendrick dropped his nuke.
The gun play talk just sounds cringe. It did before and it sounds even worse now. I get that's rap bravado but if this battle showed anything, authenticity matters. Dot is talking exactly about this. This fake tough guy shit got him beefin' with YG because he knows nothing about that life and got him looking weird. He needs to take a break, or else he'll never recoup that universal deal and who's not to say there isn't a clause where he needs to meet a minimum. He's Drake though, so he should be fine but if this is what we're getting, I dunno man.
Drake is literally proving right now while he's been on top for over a decade. He consistently puts out bangers and these other rappers can't blow without bringing his name up😅
@@elcrookito2847 let what go, homie dropping music and still going about business, yall really wish he would just go away, sorry it ain’t happening my guy 😂😂
Thank you!!! Just stop the sneak shit… get back to your craft… I don’t honestly care to hear what he feels about or towards Kenny… just make music for your fans. lol its not ALL about him.. Drake in his feelings for real..
And it's funny how he named one of the songs Circadian rhythm,,,, and that's the very thing Kendrick said he was in ,,in 6.16 in La,, yeah Drake have a very hard time being althentic.SMH
Only time y'all will mention Kendrick is when its about Drake. Kendrick is nothing. Drake is the man and Kendrick nor any other rapper is touching him. He's still on his perch. Y'all will wait 5yrs to get another Kendrick song which will be mid 😂
@@nanaasemkantinkabonsu1594 nah I see Aubrey fans mentiond kendrick everyday, don't be double standard, the funny thing is he not even in Internet like ur idol, ur idol need gimmicks, ig memes , 13 attempt after the beef to stay on top, if kendrick chose to do that yall done but he don't f care
Kdot got Drake scared to drop music fr, he gotta do leaks and see how the fans respond. It’s been happening a lot since “push ups”. Pre “like that” Drake was dropping music confidently.
Drake and Nicki need to learn that doing features for artists does notvmean they get to disrespect them without getting a response back. They are colleagues, not your peasants. Treat them as such.
@@sjd283 you are in all these comments just putting out misinformation and when you are checked, you go silent. How much are they paying you? Or did you not research first?
Drake is NOT Finished because Hip Hop & Music still Needs him.. Time wont wait for Kendrick but you can expect Drake to keep Droppin Time & Time again.. Music needs Consistent Artists.
All I hear is Drake talking about everything he does for other artists. What about all the things other artists and regions have done for him that hes only disrespected?
Thanks for explaining that Benny & Drake joint. I clicked on it....and it was gone, like Mann. Cmon now. SMH But hopefully they can get it back good & cleared soon.
I agree with Rob he’s always done this, it’s him shooting in the gym getting the reps to gain his rhythm for when it’s really go time. And I think these leaks are more so for his core fan base.
Yeah. For real!! The more i think of it is The real problem is even if it’s just for his core fans - everyone is gonna check it and consume and judge him on it.
No face puts anything kenny dropped in the last year and it’s not close. Numbers don’t lie homie. Drake has over 100x the streams Kenny does for a reason. There’s levels. All dot fans can talk about is not like us and it only got big because of drake.
Eh. Mr Hotspot just couldn’t have his own song huh? And he drops these songs with hard ass beats and the lyrics are mid af. The beats carry him. As a seasoned artist he should be able to deliver much better quality.
I feel like years from now we’re gonna look back at this and realize how crazy it was that everyone turned up to Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile 😂😂😂
Every artist has to adjust , just as life goes so does music .. the ego and pride have brought down many a man and industry hell blockbuster didn't wanna buy Netflix and Nike messed up the Steph Curry meeting
I think the more Drake feeds into this the more it’s going to do damage to himself, I mean not only do you have the “Not Like Us” song, but you have to compete against the music video, the pop out concert, and the sheer volume of quality tracks K dot released months ago that still have staying power, and he’s got the world anticipating his next move, meanwhile we got Drake dropping more music then ever in hopes of catching something it’s just sad to watch in real time. He could let this go and idk raise his son or something damn
Drake didn’t unfollow Yatchy just like he never unfollowed Kendrick. Also Yatchy followed him back again within the hour… think he was having a moment , lol
Holy cow, I just got home and as soon as I turned on my TV I saw "uploaded 47 seconds ago" 😂 Best way to unwind after a long day!! To relate to the video though, I haven't heard the Drake tracks yet but I saw where the Benny tracks were taken down and the alleged more shots taken at Kendrick with these new songs... I wonder where everything is about to go?
@@RobMarkman There’s this comic book character that’s hardly known in the modern world - his name is Batman (real name - Bruce Wayne). He trained under Sensei Yoru in Japan and completed his ninja training. He definitely uses ninja and stealth tactics in all of his movies. Although he’s a fictional character, he’s a great example of what a ninja might sound like when he speaks. Check it out when you get a chance.
Drake … we all saw you get dragged in the beef. Please stop subbing Kendrick before he turns you into a song again. Yes, you make good music, we know. Just do that. If you’re gonna diss, say his name and stop being scary
@@Travelbum3000 he’s an actor, that’s all. Wants to make himself look like something he’s not. I hope Kendrick either blacks out on him again or say nothing and keep making great albums
Not gon lie Rob keep these up man! This is a good work that’s missing in hip hop media. Informative and not too long. I like how you are trying to be objective and fair. Feels like you’re reporting. Good work bro
why can't he and his fans just accept the lost and move on. Sneak dissing is not going to help Drake tho, it just keeps reminding me his ugly lost to Kendrick, and how a sore loser he is. I do like Drake with the melody, please drop some dope music and stop the sneak dissing. I don't want his music from now forever associate with Kendrick and it kinda make them less enjoyable for me personally.
Drake didn’t learn anything from his loss to kendrick. He’s just doubling down on more of the same music he always makes.So i think alot of his pop radio rap wont hit the same across the board with that same conviction that it did before kendrick beat him up. So i think seeing more critique is not surprising , its just a byproduct of the beef with dot and how he shined a light on “all the wrong ways in which drake moves in this music industry.”
@@TPBCollector I disagree.. I think personally that what makes it a classic when it’s undeniable but Drake gets no credit.. even Drake fans knows Kendrick is nice. These n--s in two different lanes but ppl keep trying to pit them together. When mase Diddy nem was making jiggy music.. nobody said it wasn’t hip hop. When jayz dmx nem made money cash hoes.. n big pimpin “what these bs want from a n-- “belittling women nobody said they were degrading hiphop. Moving the crowd making ppl dance n wave they hands makes u an MCee. Drake is a goat. But for non musical reasons he irks ppl.
Like the first guy said, everyone has their own taste. I for one am a fan of Drake throughout most his career. My favorite from him is If your reading this it's too late. I can see why people uphold it as a classic. It's definitely a very well rounded album from him, but it's not my fave
Alright I had Drake up until Meek and Pusha exposed his credibility as an artist. So now i’m wondering about yall that claim to be Hip Hop, when it comes out that rapper didn’t write a large number of their songs don’t that take away their credibility as a Hip Hop artist?
I didnt know Drake n Boat had issues... I think he shoulda used that beat to go at Kendrick. It was aggressive enough. But oh well... its done to me...I do think Drake gon diss Kendrick like Jay did at Nas on rhe blueprint 2 album.
@@RobMarkmanif I had to guess, it was cuz he hopped on YG’s joint shortly after the beef. Who knows when that was recorded, but YG clearly took a side and boat affiliating with that probably offended Drake, knowing how close they were🤷♂️ keep up the dope work man, been a fan since Taylor Allderdice (my fav project of all time). You’re the man.
The songs cool and I like how he’s feeding his fan base but they’ll forget about it in a week and be back to trying to spin the outcome of the battle again then he’ll drop 3 more so they can hush lol
@@eleshia12181991 blud has no choice but to drop. Dude’s got a whole 360 deal that has been broken down many times already so yeah we kinda do know his contract 😂
The whole narrative that they hatin on the guy who made them lit is trash this the same dude who has been shootin at all of them for years and you got what you asked for stop wit the victim mentality. He’s the biggest had the best run yet all the rules change when he not winning numbers don’t matter if he not on top. The number talk hurt 50 more than it help and I think that’s the reason it’s taking so long to get any music from him cuz his brand musically is tied to numbers. Once ya sales slip then what? And the trend is lookin that way
He was the one who said “Give these n****s the look, the verse, and even the hook That's why every song sound like Drake featurin' Drake” I always thought that was kinda slick.
@@RobMarkman it was slick no doubt I just don’t wanna hear him whine you used your powers the last 15years to get people outta here and now you in troubled waters and all that confidence is gone he genuinely seems to be in panic mode like you said all that unfazed nonsense doesn’t even make since when all he doin is tryin strike a chord lol
His numbers haven't slipped at all though. Where do you see that trend happening? Also, if you can't acknowledge 50 guys coming at Drake all at the same time as wack, idk what else to say. Even if Drake did take shots at all of them over the years (which he hasn't) that doesn't suddenly make it "alright". This doesn't sound like "victim" Drake, it sounds like he's punishing those who bit the hand that feeds them.@@shakair
@@djjsjhshj in what way is he punishing anyone. Numbers haven’t slipped yet all the songs since the beef charted low if they even hit the charts. You really gonna say he wasn’t takin shots at them? He’s been shooting at Dot since NWTS, What would Pluto do doesn’t ring a bell what about all The Weeknd shots. If I got beef wit a bunch of random dudes in my town and they happen to see me in the food court they wrong cuz they happen to have the drop? No
@@shakair What Would Pluto Do is literally a homage to Future bro, not a shot; you're making things up in your head. Dot has been hating Drake since the control verse, and regardless of how his recent drops have been charting, his numbers haven't wavered in the slightest; there isn't anyone bigger in hiphop today. Yes, if you randomly link up with all of your enemies to plot on a guy, you're soft. It's even softer when you still somehow let that guy beat you 20 v 1.
if you black after the pusha t battle and the blackface pic WTF are we talkin about???? After the full stolen verses from west coast legends and wasn't given credit until it was caught WTF are we talkin about??? after the evidence of ghostwriters right up to his first single WTF are we talkin about???
The rapper who exposed him for ghostwriter had a diss song about him ghostwriting. At this point, enjoy the music or not. Who cares. Drake never professed to ONLY being a rapper. He has evolved. Nothing wrong with it. Drake wrote for Kanye
@@Kingdom8YTI was looking for this comment I kno you have to be young or a new listener that Kanye that Drake brags about isn’t college dropout/late registration Kanye 808 Kanye Yeezus watch the throne Kanye hell even dark fantasy he used that as a tactic and you fell right for it….. hey Drake there not slow…. 🥴
As a Kendrick fan and Drake fan his moves have been weird since the beef started. He’s been doing this too cool for school act since the beef and during. Like no fam this will PUT YOU UP and get you the respect they refuse to give you for whatever reason. Everything he’s droppin is coming off as desperate and I need redemption esque. I just want him to accept the L and go back to what you know. He moving weird and taking the “I feed my fans thing” alil to serious. You literally have the opportunity to make the greatest comeback. World loves an underdog story… it’s like he can’t read the room
@@コンシキrespectfully somethings ain’t even that deep some shyyt jus cringe worthy 🥴 the ones that kno know and like you said they aren’t surprised! Shake the story how you want hey Drake there not slow… 😤😤😤🎯
These songs just aint doing it. It’s like he’s still on that For all the Dogs vibe…which was his worst album. Also, I think it irresponsible of all these hip hop platforms ignoring the evidence of Drake’s weird behavior.. like yall acting like it was just music.
K Dot wanted to use Drizzy to revive his career but Drizzy was too smart.........this checkmate went unnoticed by many📌since the beef ended K Dot has been no where
Listened to it but if wasn't for me personally. I'm sure a lot of people will love it and think it's great. Can't hate, songs aren't bad but Drake hasn't been making music I like personally for a long time. I don't think Drake is as up as he once was but there's still a bunch of people that like him and a bunch of media that will try to shape narratives back in his favor because of potential opportunities involved with being in his corner.
Not a big Drake fan, but I’d like to see a recharged, focused version after a long break. Dropping all these loosies feel like the guy who can’t stand silence so feels he has to say something
Drake is still up. At one point, Kendrick overtook Drake on Spotify, with Kendrick jumping from #14 to #8 while Drake dropped from #8 to #15. Kendrick was dominating the charts during that period. However, six months later, Drake has climbed back to #8, while Kendrick has fallen to #16, which is even lower than where he started. Drake has gained monthly listeners, while Kendrick has lost some. As the saying goes, "Women lie, men lie, numbers don’t."
@@ZVYWMx Kids watch youtube and listen to Tik-toks. young adults stream the most because instead of AUX or buying cds you just connect the bluetooth. I get it what your saying though, trying to be funny is more fun than facts
Speak for yourself. Y'all sound like sensitive Karen's on these threads 😂😂😂 Let that man make his music. I don't get down with group think. Since when on man represent the culture? GTFOH
Bro you are a hip hop journalist, be more responsible! Kendrick did not get lit of Drake! Poetic justice wasn’t the main song on GKMC! Stop saying that stuff! Drake knows this! The song of Kendrick on Take care wasn’t even a hit song, it did not even go silver. Stop saying that!
You sound hurt and bothered. Be more responsible with how you listen, I said from drake’s perspective that’s how he’s thinking. And if we’re being real, statistics aside, If Kendrick could’ve done a tour as big as club paradise on his own, he would’ve, that opening slot was a good look. Also having a SOLO track on Take Care, also a GOOD LOOK. We not saying Kendrick didn’t work hard for his spot, BUT we not gonna ignore how good of a look those Drake moments were.
No am not! You guys just keep regurgitating Drake’s lame talking point! GKMC put Kendrick on the map, Buried alive track did not move any unit. It wasn’t even a single! He only did the tour with him in LA and Toronto. That’s not enough to say he made him lit! Kendrick is literally one of the biggest artist in the world currently, most people don’t know him because of Drake, stop the cap! He did not make Ross, Future and Kendrick lit! They have their own fanbase. Drake has made other artists lit, but definitely not Kendrick, Future or Rick Ross. Port of maimi went platinum in 06, Future already had Racks on rack before any of these Drake features. GKMC had multiple songs bigger than poetic justice. Money trees, swimming pools etc.. not saying he hasn’t made certain artist lit, but not those guys! Saying that, is just too far!!
@@RobMarkman you’re a Drake dick rider deflating from the op comment. Poetic justice wasn’t the main song on that album. He had tracks that charted higher than it off that album. Also that song is not even a classic off that album. The album has many classic songs other than it. Your access journalism is killing yr credibility
Timestamp 1:15 on No Face he went Rambo… definitely agree playboi could’ve added so much more but I’m actually interested in these drops he’s releasing
Pack of mids lets be honest. Dude talks a🎉bout nothing. He needs to make hotline bling. Hold on we are going home records. The tough guy raps have zero substance.
@@RobMarkman not even close. He needs a passion fruit. The quailty of drakes music has been very surface level since scorpion..i fucks with Drake for his versility so imma always check for him regardless but like damn he really makes Mcdonalds music. Nothing sticks to the ribs anymore
I think Kendrick successfully took away Drake's fake Hood Pass. I mean we all knew he wasn't living like that, but even as entertainment it just doesn't hit like before. It would be crazy if he switches genres like MGK, crossover to only doing pop. I would like that.
“No face” is the gem of all the recent releases. Wish we could have gotten this right after not like us instead of the heart pt. 6. Drake’s strategy of music dumping is a double edged sword.. he’s dropping so much, some of which are duds, so it’s muddied the water BUT his engagement has been crazy and has kept us talking.
*Not Like Us was Lit.. but Kendrick let his whole Wave die down without no more Music… thats Lame asf.* *One thing Drake will do is keep on Droppin HITS. He was like You Finished Now? Go Disappear for 30 Months again..*
Drake has always been consistent with making sure he’s constantly putting out product . I think the problem is the product isn’t hittin the same rite now . They weren’t bad tracks , but like Rob said I haven’t heard the ONE . And it seems like rite now that’s what he’s searching for . And idk if we’ve ever seen that from him. Usually he drops and that’s that . feel like the bar has been raised and that normal shit just won’t get it done . And it’s not just him . I think Kendrick and Cole are in the same boat . They’re just playing it different
Yachty wasn’t just on SOD. SOD was Yachty‘s song featuring Drake. Drake stole his song then took him off of it. Also, Mr Hotspot wanted them to clean up the song before giving clearance. Drake did not clean up the song. Drakes being shady all around
It’s funny circadian rhythm went over everyone’s heads. Drake is blatantly talking to Kendrick Lamar and he’s talking to the music industry as the music industry was a girl Kendrick Lamar sent him a voice note euphoria, pouring out his heart. He responded like yo whatever come get your stuff out the crib, Tupac’s ring.
No i didn’t produce for him. It was a gift from him and his team for helping support KIDS and the singles when it dropped. The plaque is for Knock Knock
Drake couldn’t get the verse cleared from Yachty, owner of the sample wasn’t having that verse. He still got men dropping shit on him, like ASAP. Thinking that no face applies to a lot of them.
Drake shouldn't disappear. Drake should just drop a great album that has nothing to do with the beef. He hasn't put even a good album since scorpion. Just drop heat and people will move on.
Drake is one of those people to never let help you. He’ll immediately throw it in your face the minute there’s any kind of tension. He even does it with women. In some songs he talks about taking back gifts he gave to women (lame asf). He’s the kind to come off like he threw someone a bone and act like people are forever beholden to him for it. When really he attaches himself to whomever is hot at the moment. I’m not gonna say that it’s not a symbiotic relationship, but let’s not act like Drake is the reason why the people who he worked with early on blew up. Drake can’t even blow his own artists up. The average Drake fan probably knows who sexyy Red is because of him more than they know who Roy Woods is because of him.
Yeah. But this isn’t new. He’s dropped stuff lowkey before and let it bubble and when it did then he and the label threw their weight behind it. You’re not wrong either. But i feel like we’ve seen this before, may just look worse now.
@@RobMarkman I can understand him trying to throw as many seeds into the soil to see what grows into something he can gain momentum with. But right now, Kendrick poured a ton of table salt all through the soil. None of the seeds Drake plant in it are going to grow right now. He’s just spinning his wheels at this point, and it makes him look more and more pathetic each h time he puts out these new (really they’re at least slightly old) tracks fishing for hits.
@@parkermudsen1063 But you keep listening to the songs and following the recaps of the songs. Do you understand what your saying makes no sense? You cant constantly talk about someone into falling off.
@@parkermudsen1063 These songs are just him warming up these songs aren't supposed to hit or catch rhythm.. he is just letting ppl know im still here I'm not running just because y'all say I lost this battle that's what ppl want him to do . I do feel like he should cook a classic give it to us then dip for a couple years
Great work Rob you my goat 🐐. I just wanted to give a couple thoughts. I dont think that feature argument really works on dot because since control he has never gotten a ft and had a massive career. He the only major hiphop artist that can claim that imo. Since their cold war started he has never tried to squash it or mend things in the public eye.
Much love!!! Yeah i was kinda trying to explain things from drake’s perspective. The truth is Kendrick was gonna get to where he was going anyway! BUT we can’t act like going on tour with Drake and the poetic justice feature and having a solo track on take care amounted to nothing. And by control, 2013… Dot was in a drastically different place. GKMC stamped him! He didn’t need any features really at the point.
@RobMarkman absolutely 💯💯 the game and Jay rock also deserve that respect as well. But all in all I'm loving the videos especially the nas murda Inc one. More power to you 🐐🐐🐐
Bro, those lyrics aren’t about dot. He’s been beefing since before dot. He’s the most battle tested rapper in the past 10 years. He was going at dudes before the dot beef.
