The thing that's a bit irksome here is that there's really no 'loser' on the main stage. No matter if he 'loses' the beef, Drake will still get loads of streams next dull 100-song album, curiosity added in there, and I imagine Kendrick will too whenever it comes about as well as critical acclaim as always. It's completely taken over musical discourse and the tracks are getting streamed by the millions. It's a world class publicity stunt, but if it's actually leading to people getting hurt, it's gone far beyond that.

looks to me like Kendrick is the consumers' fave as well based on the numbers these songs are doing (and also from how he ate Drake alive in this beef x)


For now yes, let's see next time.

Drakw is an empty, talentless, fake vessel. His music won't be remembered. Kendrick, who has real artistry, will.


His music will certainly be remembered, he's one of the greats of the genre.

This was my initial take too, it was basically using boxing antics to boost interest. All the trash talking and 'beef' basically to generate even more sales.

I think there is actually a non-zero chance this beef could cause real harm to Drake going forward. I saw a tweet the other day saying Kendrick has seen a 50% increase in back catalogue streams in the week after the beef while Drake's have actually gone down a bit.

Then again I really thought the same thing about Kanye's whole Alex Jones arc and he still managed to have his biggest hit single for years after that so it'll more likely just blow over and be forgotten about.

Hoping the inclusion of a new snippet in the intro to the video means it's not long before we get more new Kendrick music. Sounds like another banger *.*

(also iconic music video x)

That music video heart.gif It couldn't be any better!

That new snippet does indeed sound promising, hopefully he might ride the wave of his success right now and drop an album soon!
