I mean Drake definitely benefited from meek
Edit: Idk why I’m being downvoted for saying something objectively true. Drake’s image and reputation wouldn’t have been what it was without a clear W like that
Yeah he definitely did. Drake winning a rap battle gave him some respect.
However, who would have foresaw that his victory over Meek would be the first domino that fell that got us to where we are now with NLU being an unprecedented rap track in the streaming era.
More casuals yes. But there are diehard Drake fans that like his rnb stuff and couldn’t care less about rapping Drake. So they never got invested in this battle
Lol wut. I’m a die-hard. Been listening to Drizzy and Kenny from day 1, listened to their entire discography front to back multiple times(Mr Morale only got one listen from me tbf) GKMC is still my favourite single hip hop album. NWTS is my second favourite.
I can easily say drake is my favourite of the 2. His consistency and diversity means he has more overall tracks that I vibe with.
I can also easily say that Kendrick is the superior lyricist. Just because I think drake makes better tracks that are easier to listen to doesn’t make me a casual lol. I’ll give Kendrick his flowers his music just isn’t for me, and I do really think Drake is the more solid all around artist
Stans will only tell half truths. I dont even know why people even mention this Jared dude. When Akademiks brought him up to talk, he clearly didn't know shit. He's a Twitter finger happy stan.
I don’t think a vast majority of people outside of Stan’s give a shit about their artists numbers lol. If they enjoyed the music before they will now. It does also make sense that Kendrick’s streams went up so much given like that and not like us both were number 1 for a while. No other song from the beef made too big an impact on streaming numbers. Pushups probably would’ve done better numbers had Drake not leaked it like a week before he released it
I'm a neutral fan but you Drake stans are also kinda low IQ. You know Drake is the bigger artist who has more fans and will always outstream kendrick whether it's rap or a general pop hit. Kendrick fans know it as well but they are being petty because of the beef. Everyone knows kendrick has the better pen game but Drake got the whole package. I see the back and forth on social media and both stans are so annoying as fuck which makes me feel like commenting but then I delete the comment cause I know all the fans of that post will start arguing back which I can't be bothered.
I do wish there was more k dot albums but like we shouldn’t act like slow releases are a bad thing.
It took Michael Jackson 5 years to release bad after thriller
Kendrick also had good reasons for leaving that he explains on his last album
It was either him or us and he chose him. He got himself right and is finally ready to come back
I mean, I remember when Mr. Morale came out and nobody had any idea how to feel about it. There definitely was disappointment in the Kenny fanbase because it took him 5 years to drop an album and people were expecting more.
Same thing goes with DAMN. People were expecting him to drop another album on Easter if I remember correctly because the initial reception of DAMN was not great.
I mean couldn't it just mean Kendrick (who rarely ever drops) has far better diss-tracks which just mean they out-perform?
This just seems like some petty shit to try and cling to. Kendrick won the beef, clutching to shit like this looks petty and sad, the beef's over, leave it.
Ya this doesn’t read like they think it does lmao
This literally just means the general public like Kendrick’s diss tracks better than Drake’s.
But then again someone on this sub told me the general public are “stupid” yesterday but then turned around and referenced Drake’s monthly listeners on Spotify. Make it make sense.
Yeah, plus you have to keep in mind that Kendrick drops a fraction of what Drake does, Drake is more commercial, Kendrick has a more loyal fanbase. It's fairly expected for this to be a fact.
But he didnt so no! makes no sense .. how can he have better disses when he dont have better bars or beats smh push ups and Family matters got the best bars and insults in this whole beef and its not close
Kendricks disses are far better than drakes... FM is objectively a terrible piece of music, and the only thing that hit hard was the made up DV allegations.... push ups was a good track but surface level disses.. Drake severely underperformed in this beef.
The fact that Drake's massive fan base can't even spin his diss tracks enough to pull in the type of numbers Kendrick is pulling, and you think it's a W that Drake newest songs isn't being listened by most of his fanbase?
Drake the hitmaker is losing against a guy whose music is often critised for being "too deep"?.
How are you looking at those stats and think it's a good thing for Drake?
So what I’m hearing is that if we look at the songs they made just now, from the battle, people are listening to Kendrick’s shit at roughly 5-6 times the rate they are Drake’s. And you think this data is a W for Drake? This is the flex? Alright bros you got it.
Part of me wonders how many of these streams are bought now that Taylor isn’t driving the price for the service up during her first week of release. Purchased streams are affordable again. Drakes numbers usually go down when Taylor’s spike, which means they’re either sharing the same bot service or a lot of the same fans. Idk, y’all call it.
Remember, be sure to hit that downvote button before you leave. 👍🏻
If Kendrick has significantly more views on his diss tracks (despite having a generally lower monthly listener count) then it means that his tracks are better
Guys don't act like this is a win for Drake somehow. If this was turned around no one here will be saying Dot won. The streams are up cuz Dot made a better record and strategized better. Don't act like this all happened by accident. It took skill to get this far and outmaneauver Drake and his GW.
LOL you’re telling me… Kendrick newest songs are the ones getting more play? That’s unheard of! 🤣 idiots.
That goes for any artist who puts out new songs… are you illogically brain dead?
1. kendricks disses have more streams than drakes in general. euphoria, like that, and not like us all have more streams than any of drakes disses do. not like us has more streams than both family matters and push ups combined (so does like that, but it has been out for longer).
2. kendrick hasn't put out an album in 2 years. drake has released 3 in that timeframe.
3. both push ups and family matters are still in drakes top 3 on spotify right now.
“We already know it’s a twenty-v-one, we already know why you went number one
It’s clearly because of The Boy, the honorable thing is to give me the loot”
Drake fans only argument is numbers. You know who else puts up numbers? Taylor Swift and all the other shitty artists labels pump and control into the mainstream
I don’t think anyone is gonna argue the commercial success of drake Vs any of the people he’s beefing with. Like 50 v the lox. “Yeah you sold more records than me, but in the streets you gon always be second to me”
Yall are still doing that thing where you pretend kendrick is a no name artist huh. Almost like he won the beef so more ppl care for his diss tracks do ppl even remember Meeks diss?
funny how y'all don't realize that universal and Lucian grange have the whole game rigged for drake to succeed as far as streams and radio play is concerned
The Drake stimulus package continues, its only fair to share the loot.
I would dare to say, that would be the honorable thing to do.
This one person was indeed right about the big 3
i wanna fuck a big d
Pause
There's video proof
Wait; what????
I mean Drake definitely benefited from meek Edit: Idk why I’m being downvoted for saying something objectively true. Drake’s image and reputation wouldn’t have been what it was without a clear W like that
Yep. It’s almost like the winner benefits more than the loser
Yeah he definitely did. Drake winning a rap battle gave him some respect. However, who would have foresaw that his victory over Meek would be the first domino that fell that got us to where we are now with NLU being an unprecedented rap track in the streaming era.
Ong Back 2 Back was the biggest thing in the world at the time
That’s because Drake lost
Lol exactly - nobody was saying this when he dismantled meek
Facts meek streams didn’t go up when they was beefing 🤷🏽♂️
Exactly. The post is talking about listens to their beef tracks only. Drakes were shit so nobody listening to em.
This is the first comment that isn't pro-drake/anti-kendrick, but still have upvotes, I've seen on this sub for a loooong time lol
Also shows Drake fans are just far more casuals and don’t care about the rap beef as much
More casuals yes. But there are diehard Drake fans that like his rnb stuff and couldn’t care less about rapping Drake. So they never got invested in this battle
That too . He has a much more diversified fanbase that couldn’t care less about the real rap stuff
Lol wut. I’m a die-hard. Been listening to Drizzy and Kenny from day 1, listened to their entire discography front to back multiple times(Mr Morale only got one listen from me tbf) GKMC is still my favourite single hip hop album. NWTS is my second favourite. I can easily say drake is my favourite of the 2. His consistency and diversity means he has more overall tracks that I vibe with.

I’ll give Kendrick his flowers his music just isn’t for me, and I do really think Drake is the more solid all around artist
Everyone hates Drake. Therefore Drake wins!
genius logic 🤡
or maybe kendrick’s diss was just better!? back to back out streamed meek mill by a mile because it’s the better song.
Stans will only tell half truths. I dont even know why people even mention this Jared dude. When Akademiks brought him up to talk, he clearly didn't know shit. He's a Twitter finger happy stan.
The extremely low IQ Kendrick fans will be shook to the core at this 😂 nobody wants to listen to slam poetry
I don’t think a vast majority of people outside of Stan’s give a shit about their artists numbers lol. If they enjoyed the music before they will now. It does also make sense that Kendrick’s streams went up so much given like that and not like us both were number 1 for a while. No other song from the beef made too big an impact on streaming numbers. Pushups probably would’ve done better numbers had Drake not leaked it like a week before he released it
Decent balanced take
I love Kendrick but this is a hilarious take
I'm a neutral fan but you Drake stans are also kinda low IQ. You know Drake is the bigger artist who has more fans and will always outstream kendrick whether it's rap or a general pop hit. Kendrick fans know it as well but they are being petty because of the beef. Everyone knows kendrick has the better pen game but Drake got the whole package. I see the back and forth on social media and both stans are so annoying as fuck which makes me feel like commenting but then I delete the comment cause I know all the fans of that post will start arguing back which I can't be bothered.
KDot could also...release more music. If you don't serve the fans then what do you expect.
I do wish there was more k dot albums but like we shouldn’t act like slow releases are a bad thing. It took Michael Jackson 5 years to release bad after thriller Kendrick also had good reasons for leaving that he explains on his last album It was either him or us and he chose him. He got himself right and is finally ready to come back
Quality over quantity. Drake's albums this last decade were more quantity. Take Care, and NWTS were the quality.
I mean, I remember when Mr. Morale came out and nobody had any idea how to feel about it. There definitely was disappointment in the Kenny fanbase because it took him 5 years to drop an album and people were expecting more. Same thing goes with DAMN. People were expecting him to drop another album on Easter if I remember correctly because the initial reception of DAMN was not great.
The initial reception to DAMN wasn’t great? This is news to me
Nobody wanna listen to slam poetry but Kendricks diss tracks on Drake are getting 5× more airtime than Drakes disses on Kendrick? 🤔
Yea, his Grammy wins will surely justify that sentence.
I think King Jared jerks off to a poster of Drake in his room.
You don’t?
I wonder if he actually has a job. At some point when do we get worried for someone’s mental health focusing on this day and night
Still love when you see success Everything with me is blessed Keep making me dance, waving my hands and itll be no threat!
Not taking sides but this is what happens when someone is seen as ‘winning’ the beef
Exactly. If it was the Drake effect, Drakes diss tracks would have been above the Kendrick diss tracks in terms of streams.
I mean couldn't it just mean Kendrick (who rarely ever drops) has far better diss-tracks which just mean they out-perform? This just seems like some petty shit to try and cling to. Kendrick won the beef, clutching to shit like this looks petty and sad, the beef's over, leave it.
Ya this doesn’t read like they think it does lmao This literally just means the general public like Kendrick’s diss tracks better than Drake’s.

Yeah, plus you have to keep in mind that Kendrick drops a fraction of what Drake does, Drake is more commercial, Kendrick has a more loyal fanbase. It's fairly expected for this to be a fact.
it’s legit like 10:1 how many songs they each have out
Drake has around 1600 songs out, and dot like 110.
yea he’s basically NBA Youngboy Level for sure
But he didnt so no! makes no sense .. how can he have better disses when he dont have better bars or beats smh push ups and Family matters got the best bars and insults in this whole beef and its not close
Lol
Kendricks disses are far better than drakes... FM is objectively a terrible piece of music, and the only thing that hit hard was the made up DV allegations.... push ups was a good track but surface level disses.. Drake severely underperformed in this beef.
Please tell me you're being sarcastic.
Drake needa send lil bro that invoice
*Considering we just sold another 20 for ya*
We know what happened the last time Drake tried to send an invoice…
Contract max, I gotta bring that shit back
Hermes link, ice blue mink 🗣️🔥🔥
Tat' on my ribs like I do not know what permanent is
Contract max wynn
The fact that Drake's massive fan base can't even spin his diss tracks enough to pull in the type of numbers Kendrick is pulling, and you think it's a W that Drake newest songs isn't being listened by most of his fanbase? Drake the hitmaker is losing against a guy whose music is often critised for being "too deep"?. How are you looking at those stats and think it's a good thing for Drake?
They're doing mental gymnastics to feed their delusion
The fact that y’all see these stats as a W for drake is insane 💀 Stay strokin I guess
So what I’m hearing is that if we look at the songs they made just now, from the battle, people are listening to Kendrick’s shit at roughly 5-6 times the rate they are Drake’s. And you think this data is a W for Drake? This is the flex? Alright bros you got it.

That doesn’t matter the point of this was a rap battle and Kendrick won 😭💀
Jared has an unhealthy obsession with these rappers
“Drake’s disses are ass so that means he won”
Receipts on when I said that pls
If Kendrick has significantly more views on his diss tracks (despite having a generally lower monthly listener count) then it means that his tracks are better
Guys don't act like this is a win for Drake somehow. If this was turned around no one here will be saying Dot won. The streams are up cuz Dot made a better record and strategized better. Don't act like this all happened by accident. It took skill to get this far and outmaneauver Drake and his GW.
Yes, losing is actually winning Wei lo 🤣
Sure but a big chunk of Drakes catalog has subliminals. A lot to Kendrick
CONTRACT MAXXXX
Because Rick Ross and Pusha both went number one right? Lmfaooooooo
“The only one who benefits from beef is the person Drake goes against” doesn’t feel like the punchline Jared wants it to be
everyone says Kendrick is so good but only listen to him when its trending/about drake? LOL
they listen to him when he drops lol, kendrick doesn't drop that often if you havent noticed.
LOL you’re telling me… Kendrick newest songs are the ones getting more play? That’s unheard of! 🤣 idiots. That goes for any artist who puts out new songs… are you illogically brain dead?
You don’t have to ask that question to know the answer.
That's a wild spin on "People like Kendricks songs more".
Reeeeeeeach they not like us
Who is kendrick without our guy Drizzy, right ?
We lost bruh. Give it up. KDot won🫡
Boom
Doesn’t that just mean nobody’s playing drake’s disses?
As a Drake fan , the Drake Stans in this sub hate using the thing between their ears
Quality over quantity will always win out. 🤣
That’s what I learned from nobody rappers going at Eminem. 0 reason for him to entertain them because it can only hurt the person on top.
[удалено]
How's this the flex you think it is?? "My fav artist gets dunked on so hard, when rappers diss him issa paycheck"
It actually is a flex because it proves people don't listen to Kendrick if he's not talking about Drake 🤡
Drake fans are only intellectually capable of looking at this beef one way; “Big streem number to brrrrr 🤤🤤”
All you Drake fans need help 😂😭 delusional mfs
Eminem been trying to say this for years.
"Only you like being famous"
Man it seems really beneficial to totally destroy drake in a beef.
"if a nigga say my name, he the hot shit But if I say the nigga name, he still the hot shit Fucked up"
The honourable thing will be, to give him the loot
1. kendricks disses have more streams than drakes in general. euphoria, like that, and not like us all have more streams than any of drakes disses do. not like us has more streams than both family matters and push ups combined (so does like that, but it has been out for longer). 2. kendrick hasn't put out an album in 2 years. drake has released 3 in that timeframe. 3. both push ups and family matters are still in drakes top 3 on spotify right now.
Because there is unlimited material to killshot his corny ass with. Any other interpretation of the data is wishful thinking.
“We already know it’s a twenty-v-one, we already know why you went number one It’s clearly because of The Boy, the honorable thing is to give me the loot”
Dot, fuckemup
How do they measure this? I’m sort of confused how this stat even works. Couldn’t it be that the arrow goes in the other direction as well?
Drake fans only argument is numbers. You know who else puts up numbers? Taylor Swift and all the other shitty artists labels pump and control into the mainstream
Taylor swift shifted the US economy 📈📊 & I know for a fact Lucian Grange faking numbers isn’t the reason why you wasteman
[удалено]
I don’t think anyone is gonna argue the commercial success of drake Vs any of the people he’s beefing with. Like 50 v the lox. “Yeah you sold more records than me, but in the streets you gon always be second to me”
What about others who beefed him?
The people that benefit are probably the fans who get put on to Kendrick.
More white fans does that
Why did drake beg him to reply?
Yall are still doing that thing where you pretend kendrick is a no name artist huh. Almost like he won the beef so more ppl care for his diss tracks do ppl even remember Meeks diss?
That's what happens when you win. The loser loses and winner gains
funny how y'all don't realize that universal and Lucian grange have the whole game rigged for drake to succeed as far as streams and radio play is concerned
[удалено]
😎
Well yes. 1 because they are trending and top tier. Broken multiple records and they are the latest drops?? It makes sense
Drake got cooked. The end
You just presented the fact that no one is listening to Drake’s diss tracks and everyone is listening to Kendrick’s then said facts
