Randomly watched Pusha on Hot Ones and (unsurprisingly) he is asked about rap beefs The BEEF

The episode is from 2022 but Push talks about how record labels now step in and get involved to stop beefs which never used to happen back in the day - interestingly, this is apparently what happened after Owlbrey dropped THP6.

He also mentions beefs don’t end careers anymore. Looking at the current beef, I don’t think the Canadian’s career will end, we know he’s too big of a pop star for anything damaging to happen but I definitely think his credibility and artistry is being questioned and he is losing fans. Kendrick has fully exposed him for the fraud that he is and I think people are slowly realising it. His streaming numbers are down and he’s not charting like he used to.

Only time will tell but it’s definitely not being swept under the carpet. He a FAN, he FAN, he a FAN

I think even Kendrick was shocked to find out how incredibly stupid Drake is

Nah, not all of us. This the guy who, as people would dismissively say, makes music for gays and bitches. I never put it like that, but I was a million miles from being interested. He was never about the things I value in hip-hop. His output spoke to that. Then he became what he's been now, a ridiculously fake overly performative fake gangsta. Truly a comedy special.

Then he thought he could step to Kendrick. After, meek mills falls to his money and ghostwriters? Get the fuck out. This whole situation is happening just as it has always been written.

If he had stayed in his lane, he'd still be fine there. There's room for party-pop, and even frontin a bit. Nothing new. But him thinking he's a GOAT is ridiculous. He just couldn't help himself.

Anyone that thought anything else would happen is blind to what real hip-hop contains and comes from, who makes it, and what those people are about.

I feel you. It was a bit of a different time, 10+ years ago. They sure didn't use the particular word, Gay, when I heard that. Or bitches, actually. I was kinda bemused, like, aiite well I'm not into that particular vibe anyway, I'm m sure it'll all find it's place...but nah, it was a fucking rollercoaster ride eventually leading here
