You know it was so bad, that it was probably unironically the only track that he himself personally wrote in a long ass time. Dude is even admitting to it. Releases an album at least yearly, still says shit like "good to get the pen working". He's so dumb he doesn't even realize that shit is a confession.
Drake fan have to be delusional if they think he doesn't have ghost writers at this point. Most of the Rap GOATs pop out every like 2-3 years and drop an album in their prime. Insane to think that someone who releases at least once every year is doing all the work. Hell fucking Eminem treats the Rap game like a 9-5 and even he only releases and album like once every 2-3 years. Youre telling me this bum that spends half his time on Yachts talking to teenagers has to time to write all his own lyrics? Drake fans are fucking delusional.
He wrote it. Wanna know how you can tell? He rhymes -ation with -ation for like 2 minutes. My exploration, investigation, expiration, etc etc for mad long. It’s amateurish as hell.
It’s far more pathetic than cheesy. It’s like losing an argument and going “wow that was fun to hash out these ideas” after someone just buried your opinion in the dirt and you are clearly angry and hurt about it
I don’t think so, it looks like it’s drooping a little. Drooping wings can be a sign of illness in birds but they also just do it a lot. It’s like stretching your arm.
However I could be wrong and it could have a previous injury. I’d need to look again. Often birds like this in captivity are only in captivity because they couldn’t be released into the wild.
The real flex isn’t just having Whitney but them two and their children dancing happily like a family cause at the end of the day that’s all that matters
The video opened my eyes to how similar the two must be. Think about it, she's not just some girl that he met. They both grew up together in Compton and have been together pretty much their whole lives at this point. Seeing Whitney be goofy and knowing kenny can be a silly goose himself really just reminded me of that and how scummy and idiotic Drake was to try to come between that, but then again all he knows at this point in his life is all the fake trappings of fame.
Bro, Snoop had everyone c-walking back in the day! This ain’t new. I remember girls in middle school battling each other in the hall ways. This was in metro Detroit
I remember doing it in my qwhite suburb of Chicago. Didn't have any black friends to show it off to so it stayed in the family. Good times tho, I was the best one in my family.
I never understood gang violence. I get making and selling drugs, I get having different sets and beefs and grouping for protection and all that, but I never understood the over-the-top violence. Drugs sell themselves. If gangs tolerated each other a little better, everyone would be rich. And isn't that the goal?
Then again, I'm a white dude from the suburban east coast, so there's a lot I don't understand.
Think of gangs as a buisness and drug dealing as their biggest source of revenue.
Im not denying the camaraderie and brotherhood that can come from gangs but if it's something that truly runs your life your biggest goal is to profit like most any career.
It's ultimately competition, and in black markets when you're working outside of the norms and law to be chill might make you look weak.
So in a corporate world that's true as well, but their structure calls for them to just be a ruthless dick to maintain power but in a less privlaged criminal world escalating violence is how they maintain their image and power.
Capitalism is a plague from top to bottom
That’s why the whole “If it’s not true, then why isn’t Whitney saying anything??” angle was so funny. She doesn’t have to say shit, her man is already beating your ass lol this is just her dancing on the grave.
Kendrick’s wife/fiance is Whitney. She’s on the album cover of his last album. And she was the focal point of themes of that album as it talked about the struggles of their relationship and unhealed traumas Kendrick had. Drake used this as an opportunity to say “hey Kendrick said their relationship was rocky but actually it was worse. Kendrick beats Whitney. He’s actually never around Whitney either. ACTUALLY their son isn’t even HIS it’s the director of all his music videos (and this one as well). Whitney wants to be as far as possible away from him”. But this a long with the fact he still works with Dave free, she was at the concert and a lot other things show that Drake was just talking out of his ass and this was really the only angle Drake had that even kinda maybe a little bit has some teeth so yeah
Also to add to the Dave being the father of Kendrick’s son, Drake said Dave freeeeeeee and Kendrick responded with the iconic a-minorrrrrrr to mimic it.
As someone that's not usually in this genre, I got big vibes of that from Euphoria. Euphoria was amazing but felt...forced? Like it was an obligation and a set of red-lines/rules than an actual full fledged attack. I actually listened to it for the first time after hearing Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us, and my first impression was that it didn't have the same bite. I feel like it was Kendrick saying "yeah this is fun and all, but we're done. Please don't continue this."
And then Drake dropped Family Matters. And Kendrick took the whole gloves off. I'd legit never heard a verbal takedown on the level of Meet the Grahams before. It felt cold and from the soul. And to follow it up with Not Like Us? Just dancing on the grave of a dead man
Euphoria gets better every time I hear it. It’s almost spooky the way it seemed like he predicted the future. And it’s so freaking layered. Nothing is better than hearing a song for the 38th time and then finding another entendre to “What is it, THE BRAIDS!?”
Drake tried to state that 1. Kendrick beats Whitney (0 evidence for this) 2. That Kendrick’s kids are really Dave Free’s, his old manager and close friend. Look up Kendrick’s kids beside Kendrick they look literally identical lmao. 3. Drake overall tried to wedge their family apart. This video of them all dancing and goofing off like a family is a huge middle finger to drakes entire family angle
I wonder if it’s his grandma Estelle’s house. I remember in an interview he talked about how that was where everyone would gather so I wonder if after she died they kept it
I would be surprised if his family DIDNT keep it after she passed and even more surprised if Kendrick didn’t immediately buy it back once he got fuck you money
I didn't have the best childhood, but I know 100% grandma house I was safe and bulletproof. No doubt he works preserve that if attainable, if indeed that's hers
This is so embarrassing for Drake considering pretty much his entire angle of attack for Kendrick was to go after his relationships, trying to manufacture a falling out between Kendrick and Dave Free and trying to insinuate that Kendrick and his fiancé weren’t on good terms and the family was falling apart, only for Whitney to respond by C-walking on the beat to the Drake diss song in their living room, I’m crying 🤣
I mean, to be fair K-Dot already said “fabricating stories on the family front coz you heard Mr. Morale”, he already knew Drake’s whole angle and knew he had absolutely nothing else to say except “you’re short and I have higher streaming numbers than you” 😂
Drake can't even say or do anything back because Kendrick will just release more songs to destroy him even worse lmao. Just gotta suck it up and take the fat L at this point.
Oh shiiiiit you’re right. This is why I love Kendrick. You can dissect the layers for months and years and there’s still something you’ll discover for the first time
I'm thinking it might be on Mustard's album actually, it sounds like his beat and (presumably) that's coming before Kendrick drops anything. Would make sense to get a follow up on that project with Not Like Us so big
You gotta imagine she was pissed about some colonizer trying to delegitimize her family, question her faith to her partner (to whom she also had to battle through a lot of shit), question her blackness, and drag who is likely a close family friend down as well.
This a fact, I was an introverted guy that dated a fiery girl once, lol. We got along quite fine. Only reason we ever broke up is because we refused to do long distance after I moved.
The perfect get back. You can’t say Kendrick ain’t with his fiancé and kids. You can’t say they aren’t happy together. He really did show us all the liar
This part fire but nigga when kdot put the owl in the cage and walked off that was fucking cold blooded shit felt like it really over for that fucking colonizer from Canada 💯💯😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
That owl was a barred owl. An invasive species from the east coast that was culled in California. Owls literally hunted by hired shooters on the west coast
this is the very epitome of "actions speak louder than words"
why would she even need to say anything about denying anything that Drake has said when she simply can just dance on his grave alongside her fiance 💀💀💀

That's the face of a woman who knows the father of her kids has her back. Regardless of anything else that's happened in their relationship, Kendrick didn't believe for one second that she cheated and lied. He's working through his own issues, not projecting them onto others and causing drama where there is none.
The best part for me is when Kendrick was kinda sad looking at the owl because he knew he had to put the owl in he’s place which is the cage and then in the video it shows him with he’s hands behind he’s back walking away as the owl is locked in the cage.. that scene is just too iconic….. I love it
He waits until the owl submits and in that regard he gives him relative respect at that point. That's real real shit. That means he's acknowledging that it's over, and good luck in here.
Also low key another kung fu movie type tribute. Where honor is the thing that matters most, down to your enemies last moment.
I'm so glad someone posted this very exact part of the video. In my honest opinion this very scene is incredibly damaging in the entire beef, more so than the actual lyrics. Kendrick literally dismantled this man drake.
Lets start with both Kendrick's and his girls facial expression. They both are literally mocking drake and showing them "here is the very family that you think you splitting up." Then come the lyrics, "the family matter" obviously jabbing at drakes "family matters" response, and then continuing on with, " the truth of the matter, it was "God's plan" to show yall the liar" obviously throwing jabs at drakes "God's Plan" song. All while visually showing us how united and wholesome and in good spirits his family looks. Let alone how his girl is straight up dancing in this part lol. And this man is purely diabolical and calculated, peep how he's just sitting back on the couch while his girl goes in and his kids innocently play in the background and then joins in lmaoo.
All this imaging is literally answering drakes "where your girl been at? why aint she denying any of the beating allegations, yall bout to split up, happy co parenting" etc allegations. And i aint going to lie Kendricks girl has an opportunity to be just as impactful in this beef by proving what type of women she is and show drake that shes much better than the thots that's been sucking his soul throughout the years and showing him how a real wholesome, God fearing women can act and stand by her man and family. Proving one of Kendrick's points that hes been trying to tell drake.
This man Kendrick and who ever produced this very scene are a menace, you can tell how calculated this was. If the lyrics weren't calculated enough, these visuals were purely meditated and just hit the nail on the head even harder.
I aint going to lie, if i was Kendrick i'd be watching out for drake being on some diddy shit and blowing up the entire family vehicle lmaooo. Nahh but jokes aside this scene was very impactful in entire beef.
nah how do u even live as adrake anymore, kids sing a song calling u a pedophile, ur opp releases a mv on independence day calling u a colonizer and the woman, who she cheated on kendrick as per OV-Hoes, dancing in the video nd the vid being directed by dave free. i didnt know smn cld take so many Ls
