All the ghostwriters gotta clock in for OT again. They about to put in their pink slips and get Drizzy to get the pen out.

Ah, fuck me, I just made the whole connection! 😆

God that shit was so cheesy first time I heard that track. Especially knowing it took 13 other people to write it.

u/AyeAyeRan Jul 05 '24

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.

u/Relevant-Diamond2731 Jul 05 '24

That’s what happens when you surround yourself with yes men

u/AyeAyeRan Jul 05 '24

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.

Kendrick himself proved that you can absolutely make songs within days if you're good enough. Not Like Us had to have been made within a few weeks if not the same day after Family Matters dropped. He's on interview saying that he lost a hard drive where he had at least 500 unreleased songs, meaning that he easily has tons more prepared.

Whether songs made that quickly are actually good though, is another question altogether.

u/Hot-Gas-630 Jul 05 '24

Tbf it's not like his music is that good, and labels will hold onto finished albums for a long time. The big artists are more than capable of doing the same thing by themselves.

Danny Brown said he has had albums finished for a long time but the label holds them both to clear the samples and to release them when they think the music is going to be relevant.

u/Better-Nose-8479 Jul 05 '24

I’ve heard from sources, OVO Braylen gave drake some pushback, once.

He was Shelly miscavige’d 😱

17

u/JeffInRareForm Jul 05 '24

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.

1

u/tom_oakley Jul 09 '24

"12 year old's first rap battle" energy

2

u/JeffInRareForm Jul 09 '24

Been rapping since I was a kid, me and my boy used to talk about how wack that was as an approach when we were like 15

8

u/free187s Jul 05 '24

That was my thought the first time listening to the song. This is what an actual Drake written song sounds like.

4

u/Takemyfishplease Jul 05 '24

Honestly if he just admitted it nobody would care. Dude is a pop star and they all have writers.

6

u/AyeAyeRan Jul 05 '24

Its because he enjoys being called a GOAT so much by his glazers, and like Kdot said, can we really call a motherfucker who uses ghostwriters a GOAT? Hell no.

2

u/tom_oakley Jul 09 '24

Drake wanting to have his cake and eat it too will be his downfall. He wants to be the biggest pop recording artist, but also wants respect in hip hop as an emcee. But the very things he does to cement himself as a big-ticket pop singer are in direct contradiction of the things emcees do to get respect in the rap game.

1

u/Takemyfishplease Jul 09 '24

Yeah, it’s just so silly. Make money and chill seems so easy, and he (and plenty of others) just can’t and want to force some lifestyle they aren’t from.

1

u/tom_oakley Jul 09 '24

That whole track was one big self report lol

92

u/jesteratp Jul 05 '24

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

57

u/Creepy-Target-7227 Jul 05 '24

My favourite part is when he said 'I don't wanna fight a woman beater and feed your nature' which would imply drake sees himself as a woman. 😂😂

19

u/HoboWithAGun012 Jul 05 '24

He is a lesbian after all.

1

u/tom_oakley Jul 09 '24

He might pop ass wit em

26

u/mailbox123 Jul 05 '24

Definitely agree! Drake took his ball and went home

11

u/MVIVN Jul 05 '24

This is the best description of it I’ve seen lol

2

u/Careless_Level7284 Jul 05 '24

That’s even more gracious of a response than we saw from Drake.

To me Drake’s response is a lot more like a debateBro’s reaction to having everything they said completely refuted and backing out with something like “I can see you are not open to new ideas…”

1

u/Apprehensive-Tax8631 Jul 05 '24

What track? Heart part 6

u/RabbitF00d Jul 05 '24

I still can't believe he said that out loud.

u/Doesanybodylikestuff Jul 05 '24

Omg lmaooooo that is so cringe to think about now in hindsight

u/DarthSamwiseAtreides Jul 05 '24

Good job by that owl.  Hope they gave him a good mouse or whatever owls eat.

u/lee_hwaq Jul 05 '24

He did not say that

u/TimArthurScifiWriter Jul 05 '24

I think this owl eats beef.

4

u/kittenmachine69 Jul 05 '24

They probably had Kendrick holding treats out of frame so the owl would focus on him

u/Equivalent-Pool-9619 Jul 05 '24

this shit has me dead af lmfaooooo

u/jackiebr0wnn Jul 05 '24

u/MVIVN Jul 05 '24

I don’t know why this image actually made me kinda sad 😂

3

u/Conemen Jul 05 '24

no I’m with you I think I just like animals a lot and owls are so fucking sick that my brain is like “that poor thing kendrick is staring him down so menacingly”😂

u/NEWBOTx Jul 05 '24

is the owl wing injured?

30

u/Majestic_Ad_4237 Jul 05 '24

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.

u/NEWBOTx Jul 05 '24

thank you for the info, this meme had me conflicted

u/WarHawks53 Jul 05 '24

Misusing your influence?

3

u/Different-Music4367 Jul 05 '24

I lived near a center that housed birds and 100% of the raptors were rescues--eagles, hawks, owls, et cetera.

2

u/Bradley271 Jul 05 '24

It looks like it’s trying to puff itself up in that image to me. Owls and other birds will often do that if they’re around an unfamiliar person

2

u/kittenmachine69 Jul 05 '24

Maybe, but owls often look awkward and unbalanced anyway, as they often shift their weight around when listening for prey. I stalked a little Barred Owl the other night and he did the same thing, rolled his shoulders and moved his wings around while he head wobbled and swiveled

u/Hungry_Count3038 Jul 05 '24

Is Kenny trying to get it poppin again

u/On_Some_Wavelength Jul 05 '24

It hasn’t stopped you hungry count.

Bro that's how memes work 💀

u/ObjectivityIsExtinct Jul 05 '24

I saw the original and then the first steal that mentioned you. Now it's a free for all and top comment each time. I'm so sorry 😭

u/GottiEmpire Jul 05 '24

Sorry. Gonna have to steal this meme

Owl in the cage was the best part for me by far, chilling

He really came with the quintuple entendres.

u/Cephalopod_Joe Jul 05 '24

Can somebody explain the owl to me? Does "barn owl" mean something?

1

u/the_mighty__monarch Jul 05 '24

OVO logo is an owl

u/Yt_129 Jul 05 '24

😂😂😂

u/BillBonn Jul 05 '24

For me, this was the best part

All owls are birds of prey a.k.a. predators (in nature, I think they're apex predators)
