The Three Failures of Drake- “The Heart Part 6” analysis 

Drake got Akademiks on his side, Kendrick got actual academics

Drake got white folks saying hes done 😂😂😂😂

The misinformation angle would've been good, but the "I'm too rich and famous to be a PDF file" defense just torpedoes this whole song for me.

The professor dropped a 22 minute diss tape, incredible.

No way we got mfn white music professors breaking down how and why drake lost 😂

Man drake is so cooked. When a professor acknowledges your diss is bad you know your cooked 💀

You were my French professor at Brockport University lmaoo we used to chop it up about Wu-Tang after class, little did I know you had a whole RU-vid Channel talking about hip hop and other music

He said problematic, I'm pushin P. lmao This guys gold xD

“The Three Failures Of Drake” Lmfaoooo sounds like a part of the Bible 😂

Professor: I may not be qualified Then proceeds to deliver the best breakdown regarding the battle on the internet .

I am 49 years old. I am SOOOOO PROUD of your very thought-provoking explanation here. I must share with others.

This is funny because I clicked this to hear him talk about hip hop and learned that I’ve been gaslit.

drake got cooked so bad that we got english professors breaking down why his bars aint hitting im fucking crying

Drake talks about relationships the way 16 year-olds do, and I've noticed that for nearly two decades now.

You've gone viral!!! There's a 2 minute clip of this video making the rounds on X and it has over 7 million views as of Tuesday evening. As someone whose been watching your videos for years, I feel you deserve this moment.

As a black man, I wish to apologize for all these people just calling you a "white professor". You are clearly more than that and I appreciate your content. As black men and women we especially should not refer to you as such a simple term in the same way that has been used to bring us down.

the fact that drake implies that wealth and fame are the reason he would not want to commit crime on a minor is what reveals what is really dark and disgusting about him.

Drake Gets accused of being a sex offender and then goes on to mock Kendrick for thinking he got molested 😂is crazy

Him teaching Aubrey about double negatives, something he should have learned in Degrassi is wild🤣🤣🤣

I think Kendrick’s main goal in this is to get people to question drake’s credibility and authenticity. He knows that this won’t make drake obsolete but because of his songs whenever drake attempts to rap about anything that insinuates that he’s ‘tough’/ gang affiliated it won’t be taken as seriously

Drake got the white community saying he caught an L the black community roasting him… Drake bout to make Bachata music now

the way drake didn't understand Mother I Sober and attacks all victims in this song is just so embarrassing and telling about who he is as a person

I'm so glad a Professor is analyzing this because honestly, people are so dumb, they don't recognize when they are being gaslighted.

As a Drake fan for 15 years, the boy is cooked. Period.

There’s No Way Drake Fed This Information To People And Didn’t Document It

Seeing Drake on a sex offenders list❌ Seeing *Aubrey* on a sex offenders list✅

When Brad the professor said, "I'm pushing P" I fell out in laughter😅

This man said I'm Pushing P 😭. If he says one mo thing I like. I'm subscribing

Making fun of someone for being molested while being accused of being a pedophile isn’t the best response. Which is even more crazy when you realize he MISUNDERSTOOD 'Mother I' entirely... Its ironically, the most accurate portrayal of the Drake fanbase entirely - superficial, illiterate and lacking any willingness to truly engage with the art form they are supposedly fans of.

“I can even predict your angles. Fabricate stories on the home front bc you heard mr. Morale” - Kendrick Lamar

this is the type of analysis my english teachers expected from me during poetry unit

This is the most intelligent analysis I have heard in I can't even remember how many years. Your calm, well informed standpoint of the history / culture completely impresses me. I appreciate you sharing your gifts with the world.

The fact is Drake doesn't exist. Kdot is peeling the mask so we finally see Aubrey. 🤡

Drake also proved Kendrick's point in the opening verse of Euphoria. "I make music that electrify 'em, you make music that pacify 'em." His delivery and the content of the Heart Part 6. Was to pacify audience that is starting to have questions about him.

This white man more hip-hop than Vlad or No Jumper 😂

Missing the point of "Mother I Sober" was the breaking point for me. I knew Drake was surface level but he levitated on that mark. Golly! Black Thought (not an original statement but it's good to have a respected voice in Hip-Hop): "Fools swear they're wise, wise men know they're foolish!"

KDot has a professor telling Drake he should use critical thinking. Damm

''THE NO SEX OFFENDER LIST'' 💀

Once I heard drake say he spread the lies, I rolled my eyes... Who in the world would 'pretend' to be a CM to make someone look bad in a rap battle... Too many cooks, ghost-writers in a rap battle is worse than Canibus with his notepad.

I love how hip hop is so universal now we can all talk in open discussions about our opinions no matter what race, creed or profession .

“The first time i heard it i was like OHHH DAMNNN… and then i thought about it” is a statement going over all the heads of drake fans rn

You know this is interesting when you have a white gentleman wearing a 3 piece suit with a collection of books behind him, articulately analyzing a rap beef. Truly a legendary moment in hip hop.

FINALLY! Someone that agrees with me that Mr.Morale implies the abuse both verbally and physical. I get for most it doesn’t, but I grew up in the scenario. “We cry Together” for me is NOT just a verbal abuse battle. It’s symbolism for toxic relationship that includes physical abuse. Yet, again I say this because of what I lived. Arguments like that do NOT stay just as verbal arguments. Also Mr.Morale is top 5 for me. A classic and over 25,000min listened in the year it came out. Helped me a lot and continues to help me.

This is painfully correct.

I love how he said “I haven’t looked twice at a teenager” like bro is a one looker. Drake need the one glance

I saw this video and immediately said out loud, "not the academics jumping in" 🤣 this is so crazy, I love it

Been watching you for years and proud you got a viral video Professor! You deserve this!! AVAA

As a black man you and whatsthedirt have great analysis on hip hop. Just because you white dnt mean nothing. Youndoing the culture proud with these breakdowns. Salute Proffesor!

When people tell you college professors study K. Dot's lyrics, believe it. Respect, professor. 🙏🏾

Him saying "I'm to famous to be a pdf file"...That line convinced me he 100% is. This is exactly how a manipulative person who thinks they're really slick lies. To the T

really happy your video showed up on my recommendation. not even fantano described it as well as you did. i think many of us were feeling the connections to kendrick’s lyrics, what it meant for drake to say what he did, but it was inexpressible, and you did that. also appreciate people in academia taking the time to be a part of modern culture and conversation and spending the energy to make it accessible. thank you dude!

So Not Like Us really got EVERYBODY on Kendrick’s side lmao this is wild

Drake: We gave Kendrick the info to trick him Also Drake: The people who gave Kendrick the info are clowns

Even knowing the double negative is a key part of AAE and AAVE; I also agree with your analysis of not using it if you’re in a defensive position 🤣 Great breakdown overall 🔥 I also caught the Mother I Sober misquote in TH6 since that was my favorite song off of MMATBS.

The irony is, Kenny was in Brooklyn with Whitney, listening to Drake's response, together. Add that to the fail list...

This man has more knowledge in Hip Hop, than Aubrey Epstein.

"I calculate you’re not as calculated, I can even predict your angle. Fabricatin’ stories on the family front ‘cause you heard Mr Morale.” - Kendrick Lamar (Euphoria)

Drake got Akademiks on his side, Kendrick got actual akademiks.

Omg I was missing my whole life with this professor breaking down the beef. I'm loving this

"This E**tein angle was the shit I expected" "I never been with no one u***age but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with" "If I was f*** young girls, I promise I'd have been arrested" "I don't want to diss you anymore" "Drake is not a name that you gon' see on no s** offender list, Eazy-Duz-It" “I’d never look twice at no teenager” "Only f*** with Whitneys, not Millie Bobby Browns, I'd never look twice at no teenager" DRAKE DON'T PUT THAT ON A TRACK!!!! DRAKE!!!

I honestly think Drake calling the track "The Heart Part 6" is a huge mistake. The 'Heart' series is all about Kendrick immortalising himself in Hip Hop history through this intimate, evolving autobiography, detailing his problems, triumphs, aspirations etc. This current chapter is Kendrick trying to axe the biggest name in the game in Drake and he's managed to get so far inside Drakes head, in a desperate attempt to get one up on Kendrick, Drake himself has immortalised his biggest failure of this beef as just the next/current part in Kendrick's story... 🤯 A chapter which Drake uses to expose himself as an idiot, a nastier piece of work than he pretends to be and a hypocrite. It's the inverse of a usual 'The Heart' entry - as opposed to introspection and honesty, it's denial and obscufation. It's the proof that Drake is nothing like Kendrick at all - Not Like Us. Admitting he's a liar and a manipulator but in the same breath lies about things that are, at least to a degree, demonstrably true about him. (You can watch the proof on RU-vid of him kissing that 17 year old girl multiple times and verbalising how much he enjoyed the feel of her bre*sts...all AFTER learning she was 17). In response to Kendrick's relentless onslaught is this incoherent, contradictory, nasty, victim-blaming ramble in which he verbally concedes (whether he means it or not). All while sounding physically exhausted. It's a breakdown in song format. This chapter of Kendrick's story was the destruction of Drake - the biggest problem in hip hop (from Kendricks perspective). Drake co-authored his own demise...

I'm simultaneously so happy for you that your channel might really be making it for the first time and that more people will be able to see your brilliant work but also saddenned that it might be the end of your channel being a small niche corner of the internet that I felt like I was a part of and in the know for knowing. Anyway, happy for you. AVAA

Absolutely subscribing because this was empathetic, poignant, enlightening and well articulated all in one! You've made a fan out of me, sir! You truly love music and storytelling and it shows in your soul! I hope to learn more from you!

Kendrick never mentioned Millie Bobbie Brown in any of his disses, so the fact that Drake did is very telling imo

Im a Jamaican and i fought 8 drake fans verbally and i asked them if they listened to mr morale and the big stepper they said no i walked away. You know your stuff big up urself.

This breakdown was fantastic to watch. THEY NOT LIKE US

I didn't expect a strong bad reference in my hip hop analysis today but I am so happy to have been made privvy to your work, Professor Thank you for this

Kendrick "you’re a pdf file" Drake "haha a pdf file touched you!" (Which wasn’t true)

Foundationally Drake can not win the war on hip hop. He hasn't contributed anything meaningful to the culture besides pop hits. This is going over peoples heads. "Keep making me dance, waving my hand and it won't be no threat I'm knowin' they call you The Boy, but where is a man? ’Cause I ain't see him yet"

this was the most intelligent analysis of this beef that i ever heard!! riveting!

In battle rap you don’t defend you constantly attack… Drake defending… ticked me off

This is the most professional way of saying Kendrick is a far better rapper/ artist than Drake. Props to the professor for this wonderful brake down

The accusations of a narcissist are usually confessions.

Holy hell, I was NOT prepared for a Homestar Runner reference in 2024 on an academic discussion of a rap beef!! What the HELL is this timeline?!? Awesome video, by the way. I really appreciated your insights and delivery. I also appreciate that you had a lot of my opinions in much smarter words, that was validating

Love the video. First time watching. Good perspective and explanation from a professional

As a black man totally entrenched in this hip-hop culture, I believe Drake does lose the war. You should see the clubs off the latest kendrick banger they shouting out drake keep your creepy ass inside😂 kendrick is winning the propaganda war as well

drake took part 6 the number of the fall, technically kendrick can just skip right to 7 a divine number because he avoided the fall and is always pushing for better things

Bro you really in the culture fr, this is crazy 🤯

Nah this man actually disected this diss track for real well done! 👍🏾 He even realized what makes Drake, Drake. Not that he's good at rap Drake is good at business. He knows how to market himself and he has a lot of money. So that's why it would be hard to take him out.

"It wasn't SA, it was other stuff; and it was such a beautiful song. And it's so powerful and it's so meaningful and it's something that Kendrick can bring us. And it's a reminder Drake, that you can't. That you just, lack the self-awareness and dude, that's alright. I love, you know, the Stooges." -Professor Skye

Yeah he lost with “Mother I Sober” it’s such a deep, meaningful song for the culture and just proves kdot’s points even more

Saw you on FDs channel, love ypur enthusiasm. Great video!

You got me when the Homestar Runner reference!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 You're awesome!!!

"I just have 1 child I probably never would've claimed if it wasn't for Pusha T" you were a savage for that 🤣💯

Okay when professor said "hes pushing P" as in problematic.. man i virtual dapped you.

Great video, great channel - thankyou for your service to hip-hop🙏🏽🖤

To those that know, Professor Skye is way more than your average garden variety white professor. His whiteness is the least interesting or important thing about him. Go watch his video (one of his few Live videos) on how to create a critical assessment framework for Hip Hop albums. Man KNOWS how to fairly assess and evaluate Hip Hop.

We have a whole ass professor analyzing drakes downfall 💀💀let's appreciate this

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1182">19:42</a> you're spot on, cause mr morale literally just re-entered the billboard top 100 today. drake sent people back to the album.

The last thing I expected from this interview was a homestar runner reference. This made my day 😂❤

Not the homestar runner reference 😂 this took me back. Great dive into this!

Bro, everyone is talking about this. I don't even know who this doctor is but the algorithm served him up

1. "Mother I Sober" was about Kendrick NOT getting molested. 2. Rich and famous people can still be pedos. Diddy for example. 3. There's a video where Drake kissed a 17 year old twice and said some inappropriate stuff to her when she was on stage with him so he definitely has looked twice. 4. Why would Drake get Kendrick to accuse him of sex trafficking and show actual receipts of pills and Ozempic that Drake has bought that he claimed not to. Even if the daughter was fake, it doesn't matter much because the whole point of the diss was the other allegations. 5. Kendrick compared Drake to Weinstein not Epstein. 6. Why go after Whitney again while waving the white flag? 7. "I don't want to fight with a woman beater. It feeds your nature." he called himself a woman Drake would've been better off not responding.

Well, that was an interesting listen... 🤔 Thank you for the conversation, sir...

A PROFFESSOR educating all of DRAKES SPED fans😂😂😂

The minute you pulled out a physical copy of Mr Morale I was sold on your insights sir. You do your home work omg

Man, I appreciate your analysis, it's good shit, really enjoying it.

This is the most in depth, thought provoking commentary that I've heard on this matter!

the NO sex offenders list in the background lmao

We got diss tracks, a diss beat, now a diss lecture? 😂. Great analysis prof
