It’s so big and personal and weird that it’s getting coverage on channels totally unrelated to music. And now that someone shot Drake’s security guard in a drive-by, it’s going to blow up in the mainstream.
Kendrick Lamar’s last two tracks put Drake’s career in the Celebrity RIP thread. Which is a win for us all.
All the people who trolled J Cole for stepping out of the beef early are now praising his wisdom.
I have zero interest in rap/hip-hop, but a good beef is always intriguing. I didn't listen to a single "song" from either party during this uproar, but have probably watched like 3+ hours of "react" videos and analysis/commentary from those who are in that industry or rap/hip-hop enthusiasts. Most folks seem to have predicted KL would win from the onset, and it appears so. Drake always seemed like an industry manufactured product to me.
With that said, if you put a gun to my head and told me to name one song from any of these dudes or I'd be executed, I'd just reach up with my finger and pull the trigger for you.
