Di-Did Drake just body Kendrick?!?

[Troyg39]

See thats the thing I don't like, coming directly at rapper is nice and bold. But when it's somebody like Drake he would just get hate for it, which is why I think this is more skillful for rappers such as Drake and like this better than if he came straight up with it.


And these lines may be subliminal but they're some hard ass jabs, Kendrick lamar reps LA and Compton like no other and for Drake to say he doesn't run it and that Kendrick is his son when Drakes in LA. Whhhhhhhhaaaat!

Nah see someone like Drake gets more hate for doing stuff like this. You gotta remember Drake already went on record saying basically he doesn't give a shit about the "control" verse, it's no longer relevant and he doesn't plan on responding.

Then months after the fact, he decides to not only diss, but sneak diss Kendrick for it. That's why I say he'd get more respect if he just comes at Kendrick directly. You can't try to down play someone's verse to you as if it's not worth your time and then subliminally diss them. You have to TRY in order to diss someone subliminally. Like it takes effort to talk about someone while still trying to make it seem like you could be talking about someone else. He already has a rep for being soft, this makes him look softer. Also add in the fact that Kendrick's control verse wasn't even a true diss to anyone and now Drake's subliminal shot really looks stupid.

These shots aren't that hard. Kendrick already did the whole "I run your city" bit with the King of N.Y line on control. Yea Kendrick reps L.A. He also said he runs N.Y. And he's also about to do a show with Kanye in Toronto later on this week. So while Drake is talking about doing a show in L.A. it's people in Toronto buying tickets to see Kendrick. Lot's of rapper have tried the "I run your city" thing. It's not original and the man he's dissing did that months ago.

To be honest, that's kind of a weak diss. Like, don't just say "You don't run the streets, you my son." Any rapper can say that. Flip one of that niggas lines on him, twist his words, make a new metaphor out of it to go against him. Even if this is supposed to be a twist on Kendrick's ad-lib "I run it" on Cartoons And Cereal, it isn't that hard. At least say something like "You run it about as much as an obese nigga/Eat rappers for a living, I'ma bouta have a feast nigga." This just ain't impressive.

^^Basically this right here. On top of being subliminal, the line itself is too basic. Kendrick's verse garnered massive hype and it's still being talked about to this day. Your response has to be even bigger or it just doesn't cut it. Drake can definitely compete with Kendrick but he has to really go at him. He can't treat this like another "Common" situation and half ass it

 

[SonictheHedgehog]

Ugh...

Drake, why weren't you staying quiet? Even if we make fun of you...we do that all the time.

Drake, you got all this f*cking money. Why would you respond to Kendrick? You fell in his damn trap nigga.

Now if Kendrick decides to respond and he merks his ass then Drake gonna get spammed with messages saying he got bodied until he wanna commit suicide.

You coulda at least made a legit diss track. :|

Oh but all yall don't get your f*cking p*ssies wet so quick. There's not even a legit beef yet. Cypher verse was a Papoose and Drake subliminal, Drake throwing subliminals, and all this shit starting over Kendrick...acknowledging Drake on Control. :|

Ugh I miss the old rap beefs.

 

[Forbidden Technique]

Decent. Nigga Drake basically said he on top, we already know this. I don't know why people are surprised with the subliminal diss... it's Drake.

I just hope he doing it for the sport, and not because his feelings were hurt by the Control verse. I mean, he already stated that he wasn't phased by it.

Lol Kendrick throws subliminals too, no one's surprised or anything. He said to begin with if he says Kendrick's name Kendrick gets more buzz.

Kendrick gonna get buzz anyways since Drake responded, which he shouldn't have. He should have just ignored him. Lmao it don't matter, this won't be a beef if Drake's as smart as he makes himself out to be. He's probably wiping his ass with hundred dollar bills for fun, that nigga don't need to beef.

But when has Drake EVER been direct with his disses? Never, lol. This dude deadass said he won the Common beef with no reply back to Common who roasted Tf out of him. My point was, I don't know why people are disappointed with the subliminal when it should be expected from him.

I just hope Drake did it for the sport of rap... kinda like how Wayne and Jay throw sneak dis' at each other time to time. You'd think he wouldn't want to beef with Kendrick, but Drake flat out said Kendrick isn't lyrically better then him so I don't know, we'll see.

Dude..That's because Drake doesn't f*cking rap beef. Why should he? Anyone can go at his neck, but it doesn't matter who can slaughter who lyrically. Drake is wiping his ass with cash. Control drops, Drake is still wiping his ass with cash.. Kendrick cypher verse gets hype for being a Drake subliminal...Drake still has a bunch of shit stained dollar bills in the sewer some hobo is picking up now and getting rich off of just for having his stains. Drake does not and shouldn't give a f*ck.

Ok, he gives a f*ck, but the point is he already knows Kendrick would murder him lyrically, but it doesn't matter. He's making more money than Kendrick is, and who knows, maybe than he ever will. Can we compare Kendrick's career ot Drake's? Hell no. Because Kendrick has the lyrical skill, but dissing Drake doesn't mean he's going to ether him or some shit. You can't ether Drake unless you're someone on his level career wise.

Drake ain't do this for the sport of rap, he did this because he's stupid. He's sensitive and all these niggas pressuring him into responding to Kendrick...he was just stupid enough to listen to them. Drake doesn't want to beef with Kendrick or give him any more fame than he already got, and more importantly he knows beefing with Kendrick isn't what makes him money. Lol

Anyone who expected Drake throwing out names and going hard and dissing either doesn't know shit or expected too much out of him.

 

[Punk Hazard]

It's a sad day in Hip Hop when you got people saying "If someone challenges you, ignore it cuz you're rich."

Youth, this is ****ing Hip Hop, someone comes at you, fight back. Did Jay-Z and Nas say "I'm rich, no need to beef." Did Ja Rule and 50 Cent say "I'm rich, no need to beef." Did Ice Cube say "I'm rich, **** 'No Vaseline'." No! No one is saying Drake ain't rich, this is a contest of lyrical ability, so your money don't mean shit. Yeah, you can use money as one of the ways to show how good you are (good raps increases the chances of sales), but "wiping his ass with money" as a response to competition means you in the wrong genre.

Seriously, how can you seriously say "i miss the old rap beefs" and then say "Niggas got money, what they beefing for?"

Didn't I already say half of this when we discussed Drake and Kendrick not too long ago?

@ Bold: Drake said, and I quote,

I know good and well that Kendrick's not murdering me, at all, in any platform.

That verse was a moment to talk about. He didn’t come in there on some wild, ‘I’m in New York, f**k everybody.’ I almost wish he had come in there on that shit because I kind of lost a little bit of respect for the sentiment of the verse.’ If it’s really ‘**** everybody’ then it needs to be ‘**** everybody.’ It can’t just be halfway.

Can't find the interview, but he doesn't think that at all.

Drake ain't do this for the sport of rap, he did this because he's stupid.

Anyone who expected Drake throwing out names and going hard and dissing either doesn't know shit or expected too much out of him.

I highly doubt it was because someone pressured him to do it. That doesn't really make sense. Before it was "Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it" ... I think he just grew some balls. My thing is, I don't think it's personal. At least not yet. And it damn sure isn't for the buzz. So I think it may be for the sport.

A real rivalry is Neil Young with "Southern Man". Which Lynyrd Skynyrd replied with "Sweet Home Alabama".

I don't think anyone is disappointed that he sneak dissed him anymore than they are of you sort of "subliminally" calling people out in your comment. It's not about anyone being surprised about the diss being subliminal or whatever. We're just pointing out that this diss is pointless because of who Drake is in comparison to Kendrick and if the goal was for this diss to mean something, Drake is going about it the wrong way.

Typically a direct diss isn't something a rapper should do because it usually isn't received as well by listeners. But in Drake's case, if his goal is to diss Kendrick and for it to mean something, he has to make it known that he's talking to Kendrick, not make it seem like he's trying not to mention him, and that's only because Drake already has a reputation of being soft to begin with. That's kind of the reason he's not really considered to be a threat lyrically to Kendrick in the first place.

Drake already did an interview saying that he knows doesn't care about control or Kendrick. He should've stuck with that and took the high road and not even validate Kendrick with a response on a song. Kendrick already has enough buzz of his own without Drake giving him any more. He's got a debut critically acclaimed album, several grammy nods, GQ's Man of the Year, etc. Drake's sneak dissing is only going to do two things: make Kendrick get even bigger than he's already getting, and distract people from what Drake is really doing by focusing attention on some beef between them.

At the end of the day Drake has the product people want most. At the very most, Kendrick may be the Nas to his Jay-Z. You and the other guy can talk about status all you want, but Nas wasn't on Jay-Z's status when ether dropped. In fact, Nas had seemingly lost all hope in the beef, yet that last minute track changed everything. Despite the birth of the "ethered" slogan though, Jay-Z never saw his career drop a bit, he only got bigger. But that's also due to the fact that Jay-Z actually went at Nas HARD and was winning for most the beef. If Drake tries to enter a beef with Kendrick and gets murdered, it could still hurt Drake if he does little baby disses like these. Either go hard or just stay out of it

It's a sad day in Hip Hop when you got people saying "If someone challenges you, ignore it cuz you're rich."

@ Bold: Drake said, and I quote,

I'm glad you posted that quote of Drake's interview because that's exactly why this diss is pointless.

The same way Drake says "if it's really **** everybody, it needs to be **** everybody"

If it's really **** Kendrick, it needs to be **** Kendrick. Drake didn't come in there on some wild, I'm in L.A. **** Kendrick. He made a general comment that he can easily say "Oh I wasn't talking about anyone in particular"
In the words of Drake: "It can't just be halfway".

I'm saying the same thing Drake said about Kendrick. And that's exactly why subliminal disses look stupid on Drake's part in this particular situation. Because he already set it up to make it seem as if that approach isn't acceptable.

 

[HiraishinFTG]

Who cares? Drake is very talented with both a nice sounding singing and rapping voice, but is a d*** and often sucks lyrically. Kendrick is a beast lyrically but his voice is annoying as hell.

That's why I like people with the best of both world, like J. Cole and Wale

 

[chopstickchakra]

They both just average when it comes to lyrics,wordplay and punches sooooo who cares about there silly little beef and Kendricks inflamed ego. Let either of them go into a battle circuit and get eaten alive. In a beef IT would kill em, Soul Khan would straight embarrass them dudes, shit even Eyedea would beat them in a battle. Dirtbag Dan, Diz, plenty of people. Celph Titled would make them look like elementary school rappers and he's not even a battle rapper just crazy with the punchlines and insults.

Lol, that's some serious sensitivity if you really think that was me calling anybody out. I didn't understand the viewpoint from it, is all. There was nothing disrespectful there to be considered me calling someone out. Who Drake is in comparison to Kendrick? Before I respond to that; What exactly are you implying?

And I don't believe it's a direct response to Kendricks Control verse. As you and I already mentioned, Drake said he wasn't even worrying about the Control verse. He even proceeded to downgrade it. With that being said; it wouldn't make much sense to say this is a direct response to the Control verse. I mean, it wouldn't make much sense for Drake to practically contradict himself. But Kendrick DID proceed to throw out some sneak disses @ Drake on a freestyle cypher apparently. So it's more then likely to be a response to that. Drake never was the type to respond to any disses in the first place. He even said that on a song. So I don't think it's far-fetched to say he's doing it for the sport. He doesn't need any buzz. So it's either on a personal level or it's simply for the sport. And if it is personal, then Drake is simply going to look stupid. Would that impact his career in a negative way significantly? Not at all, because it's Drake. He ain't fooling no one with the tough guy act. We all know this.

I made the same Nas and Jay Z comparison not too long ago on this forum while discussing the very same topic. Anyways, I'm not exactly in a disagreement with you. K Dot got the next move, let's see how this pans out.

I think the sensitive one is you there bud. I didn't mean "calling people out" in terms of you saying anything offensive, I'm just saying it's clear that by your original comment you read some other comments (one of which I'm assuming was mine) and that lead you to ask the question "why is everyone surprised about the subliminal dissing" rather than just asking me and I think the only one other guy who mentioned the fact that this was a subliminal diss, exactly why/if we were really surprised. I just said you "subliminally" called us out as a joke in reference to the topic. No need to tell me you weren't trying to be disrespectful. I know you weren't

Anyway, if this wasn't a direct diss to control, then why diss Kendrick at all? You say it's just for the sport, but he's already said he doesn't really care for that dissing people and replying stuff, so either way you look at it he's contradicting himself with this. The cypher that everyone is referring to had no sneak disses to Drake. It was filmed well before Drake even gave his response to control in that interview. So the other guy that was saying the cypher was a diss to him doesn't know what he's talking about. This diss clearly came about due to the backlash that control created.

I'm basically saying the same thing about Drake that Drake said about Kendrick in that interview you posted.

Drake said "if it's **** everybody it needs to be **** everybody"

I'm saying if it's **** Kendrick it needs to be **** Kendrick.

It can't just be half way.

**Edit** Well I see you saw you my 2nd reply to you so I guess you get where I was coming from now. And I understand you too. And MY BAD. The cypher verse was filmed before "control" dropped obviously. But they were really close together like a couple weeks apart. Both of which before Drake had a chance to respond to it though. So still likely the cypher verse wasn't a diss towards Drake because Drake hadn't even had a chance to diss him in the interviews yet

It wasn't that important of a question for me to really want an answer to. Plus, it was more of a statement then a question. But whatever, it's no big deal.

I just did the research, as I was unsure myself, but the Control verse dropped August 14th. His BET cypher didn't air until two months later October 16th (Was filmed one month prior). Drake didn't respond to the Control Verse until the end of August. So, nah. Control was dropped and 2 weeks later, Drake responded (August 30th-ish). The BET cypher wasn't filmed until mid September, after Drake responded, and didn't air until mid October. So this may very well be a response to the cypher diss.

And while he did say he doesn't care for dissing people, this is quite a different situation; IF it is in fact for a sport and competition rather then some personal beef. So if this is the case, I see no problem with it.

It's called fronting...

It's a sad day in Hip Hop when you got people saying "If someone challenges you, ignore it cuz you're rich."

Youth, this is ****ing Hip Hop, someone comes at you, fight back. Did Jay-Z and Nas say "I'm rich, no need to beef." Did Ja Rule and 50 Cent say "I'm rich, no need to beef." Did Ice Cube say "I'm rich, **** 'No Vaseline'." No! No one is saying Drake ain't rich, this is a contest of lyrical ability, so your money don't mean shit. Yeah, you can use money as one of the ways to show how good you are (good raps increases the chances of sales), but "wiping his ass with money" as a response to competition means you in the wrong genre.

Seriously, how can you seriously say "i miss the old rap beefs" and then say "Niggas got money, what they beefing for?"

Because you don't pay attention. It's a sad day in hip hop when people think that Drake's obligated to respond to Kendrick and give him more fame when he's obviously got a career. That hip hop shit is out the window, he apparently didn't care. Then he threw some subliminals, and now he's back where he was. Probably sitting wherever comfortable as f*ck planning out what's going to get him more money.

Exactly, this is f*cking hip hop. In the end these two men are getting cash from this. Drake doesn't need to respond to Kendrick. You know how many people came at Drake? Now can you make a big list of people he's responded to "because this is hip hop"

Oh, no? Cool, cool.

I can say I miss old rap beefs because I liked seeing Ja Rule fend off like 9 people and hood shit in the mix, I liked seeing Jay get ethered. But Drake isn't Ja or Jay, and he isn't the type who gonna respond to people just because they call him out (supposedly). Common beef and this "beef" aren't shit, he made some little subliminals, and he obviously isn't gonna say Kendrick's name. Why? He doesn't want to give Kendrick what he wants, and because he has money.

I'm looking at the reality of the situation and you're trying to be some righteous 'head and make this all about lyrics. Rap's not all about lyrics, that went out the window a long time ago. Even if they were to beef, it won't matter because Drake is still the victor regardless.

You mentioned 50 vs Ja. Ja went in on Aftermath on Loose Change, but he was going against a bunch of known ass rappers. Where's Ja now?

Career matters in this game, period. Since you act like you know so much about hip hop you should know this already.

My bad, the one you were talking about came late September, still 2 weeks before the cypher even aired. All 3 of his interviews while addressing the Control verse came before the cypher aired.

And tbh, the more I read into it, the less I'm viewing it as "beef". Check
