POP SONG REVIEW: Drake and Kendrick's feud to end all feuds

Todd releasing a topical video while it’s still relevant?! It’s a miracle!!

Fun fact: This rap beef was trending on Tumblr. That's how inescapable it is. To quote an anime fanart blog: it's like finding one of those fully isolated islands populations that somehow still know who Michael Jackson is

You absolutely have a major point about how ugly this has all gotten, but Drake's line about Kendrick only caring about SA/CSA because he himself was a child victim (which isn't even what happened, per his last album) is just disgusting and morally indefensible. Everything else is a hypothetical, but Drake chose to let those words leave his mouth, and be etched into eternity online.

I bet J Cole fluffs his pillow every morning and jumps out of bed with pure joy knowing that he avoided getting caught under the wheels of this beef lol

Kendrick officially removed all copyright claims from reaction videos using his diss tracks, and did not monetize his YouTube uploads with ads, effectively losing out on millions of dollars. This to me proves that at least for Kendrick, the beef isn’t about money but is literally just because he hates Drake.

Never mind Anthony Fantano, this is the real sign that this beef is serious.

Drake making fun of Kendrick for being on Bad Blood is even funnier when you remember that Apple commercial in 2016 where Drake dances around like an idiot to Bad Blood in the gym for a solid minute before failing to lift weights. Like, at least Kendrick gets song royalties.

You forgot to mention that the reason Pusha outed Drake as a deadbeat father and revealed his son is that Drake mentioned Pusha T' fiancee. Drake was the first to involve the families in both Pusha and Kendrick's beefs.

Drake saying "I'd never look twice at no teenager" while a video of him kissing and sexualizing a 17 year old girl at a concert was trending was certainly a choice.

"Trying to strike a chord and its probably A MINOR" is outrageous

Drake’s line about being too famous to be a predator is so disgustingly flippant to me, considering everyone with even half a brain cell knows that famous people have been consistently exposed as some of the most insidious predators due to their power, connections, ability to pay people off, fans to defend them etc. I’m not saying Drake is a predator, honestly as a woman and a CSA survivor he does give me certain icky vibes, but Todd is absolutely right that we can’t make that serious of an accusation off vibes alone. But at the very least, that line is astoundingly arrogant, ignorant, demeaning and invalidating towards the countless victims of famous predators. And that’s enough for me to be completely turned off him and his music forever tbh.

LMAO J Cole dissing Kendrick and immediately apologizing is the most J Cole thing ever. I went to high school with Cole. My friends were friends with him. They were on the basketball team with him. Nobody ever had a bad word to say about him. He was one of the nicest dudes in the whole school.

“He’s not an underdog, and he’s not lovable. He’s a weird asshole and everyone knows it.” Todd just summed up everyone’s Drake disses in 1 sentence…

Nah Megan's diss was directed at Drake and the rest of the industry, Nicky just volunteered to be the target and took all attention

The pedophile and deadbeat father accusations are really just the cherry on top for Kendrick, it's clear from Euphoria and Meet the Grahams that at the core of it, Kendrick just fundamentally hates Drake for what he views as a lack of respect for his own people and art form. From how eerily precise and calculated every one of Kendrick's moves have been, it's clear he's just been waiting to finally explode about how much he utterly despises that Drake is considered to be at the forefront of hip hop, yet is completely out of touch from the culture of it in a swift, brutal takedown.

The best little part of Meet the Grahams is that its played in A Minor, a key without any black keys 👀👀👀👀 The man earned his Pulitzer, thats all I'm saying

'Drake is owned by Kendrick Lamar This video is owned by me' Todd in the Shadows, 2024

"some shit just cringeworthy, it ain't even gotta be deep i guess" absolutely murderous bar

I've seen Todd saying how he's tired of life & how he has no confidence in himself in so many videos & it makes me concerned a little. You matter, Todd. Do whatever is best for you creatively, but please don't give up. We care about you, man.

Let's be clear: megan called out a lot of people but she did NOT call out Nicki by name. Nicki Minaj bit the bait and got mad when she didn't have to say a worrrrrd
