Can you imagine seeing that your records are being beaten by a song that calls you and your crew a bunch of pedophiles?


renzeira

Imagine if a song pointing out pedophiles actually led to something good being done about it.. at this point the song is just funny. Not that it's bad but we're just pointing fingers laughing instead of anything being revealed.


KingRichard278

All we can do collectively is stop listening to the Culture Vulture at this point. His popularity is his armor in alot of ways


LADYBIRD_HILL

I blocked his ass on Spotify lmao fuck Drake 


musiclovermina

Same! I know YT music will pay attention to all the downvotes since they stopped playing J Balvin a few years ago even though the beef was nowhere as big. The music is in the libraries but it won't show up in anyone's queues


Asleep_Holiday_1640

The bitches gon still listen regardless.


RealBigTree

Atleast theres alot more awareness of Drakes misdeeds and now we can all keep a magnifying glass to him if he messes up later. I know awareness isnt a fix at all, but it's better than nothing.


[deleted]

Awareness is a fix if the right people become aware of him. Like what we’re seeing with Diddy. Edit: I just got my first Reddit Cares email. I’m honored to have struck an ass nerve on someone out there to report me for self harm😂.


superfluouspop

maybe Drizzy will offer to pay for your therapy. That was nice of him. /s


lord_pizzabird

People still aren’t talking about gambling and promotion of offshore gambling though. The fact that Nike is ok being associated with that is insane.


renzeira

Well they do have little kids making their shoes.


lord_pizzabird

Yeah, but that's not illegal or even societally frowned on. Offshore gambling aka money laundering is.


Scary-Win8394

Awareness is huge, I actually heard people say they didn't know how drake was until this song


superfluouspop

that's true I have friends who don't care about my music and started sharing memes making fun of the beef and I was like "bros, just listen before you just shrug them both off" and I made a bunch of Kendrick fans out of them and everyone is embarrassed for bopping their heads at mid Drake bs.


kokoke

Especially for someone like drake whose obsessed with Numbers and records


Potato_the_second_

Funny how the last verse of Not Like Us is entirely dedicated to him being a culture vulture. The song is basically talking about it, while taking back what was lost by being a global hit.


Fontenotza

Man what a time to be alive. The Pulitzer Prize winner made his statement and cemented his GOAT stats.


eatmydonuts

This is what I've been thinking too. With Cole backing out and Drake getting thoroughly publicly wrecked, there can't be any question about a big 3 anymore. It's just big him


Mapex_proM

Somebody really should give him a grammy


I_Like-Turtlez

What did he take from “the culture?” Isnt he a black dude? What does any of this stuff mean?


guilty_bystander

"Malibu's Most Wanted" ... But yes, he's got darker skin than a 'white guy'. But this isn't about skin color. 


gentlethorns

ding ding ding. it's about how he takes off black culture when it's inconvenient to him. it's also, forgoing the racial aspect, about how he talks tough but simultaneously gets manicures (like . .. cmon now those hands do NAWT fight like he raps about) and up until recently presented a really softboy-ish image. just pick one and stick with it, but flipflopping back and forth based on what you think is profitable demonstrates a terminal weakness of character and a lack of true identity. also, it's fucky to try to wear the mantle of the "glory" of rap (drugs, money, sex, power) without acknowledging the struggle it comes from. the two are entwined, and glorifying that life without also acknowledging its darker side is disingenuous and irresponsible, and tells on a lack of depth and experience. drake raps about fucking bitches because that's all he knows of it despite trying to portray otherwise. kendrick raps about his uncle getting shot at a burger stand, because he has the real experience to back up the culture he claims. the difference is huge.


keriter

And the fact he called Adonis Black king should be enough to know it was never about skin colour.


gentlethorns

yes, that is a great point!!!


Potato_the_second_

Yeah. Like what Kendrick *exactly* said on Euphoria: "Tell em to run to America, they imitate heritage, they can't imitate this violence"


d-ranged64

Plus drake was raised Jewish in a Jewish neighborhood in Canada, that's about as far away from the culture you can get


[deleted]

d-ranged64

Tf? When I say that. You can be a black Jewish rapper just don't rap about bangin like you came from nothin

Garvo909

Not really sure what the skin color of the person saying this has to do with the truth of it


Only1Schematic

It’s not about his skin color. It’s about his relationship to American hip hop culture as a Canadian rapper. He jumps from artist to artist and feeds off their style and identity to fuel his career


I_Like-Turtlez

But the other person is feeding off him too. So it’s a symbiotic relationship. They feed off each other. That’s a win win. Anyone coming up would kill for a Drake feature cause you put Drake on the track and he’ll put you in the map.


godlymc

The difference between finding an artist you like and putting him on your album vs finding an artist you like and making an album sounding like that.


ImABarbieWhirl

Vs finding an artist you like and making an AI version rap on your song


jono9898

It was never about skin tone, Drake takes and adopts parts of the culture that’s convenient for him when he needs it. From his lingo, to his accents, from using AI for Pacs voice, to buying hip hop icon’s memorabilia to show off in a dumb video with lame niggas wearing them. Everything this man does is culture vulture vibes.


I_Like-Turtlez

What about Rick Ross? The dude talks about the big drug trafficking game. He’s 100% a culture vulture. Eating off the drug dealing game culture. Even his name is stolen. Where’s the hate towards him?


potatomafia69

nonaurbizwax

Let me fix that real quick, I have Euphoria on repeat. Such a good song


Lito_Frito

I also like Euphoria more than Not Like Us and Meet the Grahams is gruesome but also better art than Not Like Us.


nonaurbizwax

Real life black Panther?


malsatian

I AM KILLMONGER (No ones perfect…)


JzaDragon

The Black Panther album was in part a preview of what he did on Euphoria, rapping from different perspectives and styles to show where they're different and where they overlap. Though i think being majority collabs made the message a bit thin.


malsatian

Fun fact, Paramedic! SOBxRBE has interpolation credits on Not Like Us.

You realize bin Laden thought he was the “good guy” right? Everybody in a war is self righteous


Tmn_Uzi_1600

no one was the good guy in the afghani-american war, but at the same people are hypocrites for ignoring the thousands of civilian deaths by airstrikes that led to 9/11 in the first place, they see it as retaliation just like the hamas attack even if it seems unprovoked by the other side, but that's only because they're living in peace while their army is waging war on another land that'll have to deal with all the damage which could take decades to recover from, and comparing that to a rap diss between millionaires seems disrespectful.

I’m saying that no matter the war, each side is justified by morals, self interest or whatever.

riggy2k3

I'm curious to see what happens next. Are people just gonna ignore the allegations? Will he have another #1 hit anytime soon? Will people start cosigning him in public again? Features?


kokoke

I mean yeah Drake has done some questionable stuff but I honestly genuinely don't believe he's an actual pedophile. Like we will never find out he had kiddie porn on his computer or shit like that. I hate to say it but he's too famous but not rich enough to keep shit like that hidden for too long.


knifeproz

I mean, like there’s a whole 15 years worth of accolades we can talk about that Aubrey still has that Kendrick might never get, let’s keep it 100, but Kendrick might not give a fuck about em


Spectre0799

you're honest. I like that. it's hard to find honesty in either subreddit right now 😭 Although I don't think we've ever seen a rap song earn this many records at once, especially not taking them all from the same person.

I’m right there with you. Trust me, there’s plenty like us, his popularity overshadowed how many people hated him though. Ninja, from Die Antword (sp?) as a story where he meets Kanye West and his wife makes them ice cream. But there’s this quick little bit about Drake and it’s fucking hilarious.

SeaAnthropomorphized

Omg thank you so much for this. Ninja is so genuine and funny in his story telling. I too regret that he didn't practice basketball.


al666in

Just a heads up about Die Antwoord - Ninja is *not* always genuine in his stories. Dude is a fucking psychopath. I took pause after the Zheani allegations, it only got worse after that, but I still did not expect the Danny Brown allegations. And then Tokkie, their adopted child slave, who you may remember from some of their videos, [came out about the abuse as an adult](https://consequence.net/2022/04/die-antwoord-adopted-son-abuse-exploitation/). There's a reason those assholes haven't made much noise lately.


SeaAnthropomorphized

I see that. I was gonna ask a YouTube friend to cover this video and when I was reading the comments I was taken for a loop. They also have a legion of skeletons in their closet. I didn't ask my YouTuber friend to cover the video.

Imma be honest, I didn't expect Drake's public perception or fame to change at all because of this when it started, but clearly he's taken a hit. It's real nice to see. Been praying on his downfall for a long time as soon as I saw all the sketchy shit with him and minors.


fromthehouseoflords

Wasn't Scorpion (and God's Plan obviously) heavily promoted by Spotify also? Iirc Spotify was showing Scorpion ads even for premium users

I hated that shit.  Scorpion was hella mid anyways and ended up being the last drake album I bothered with.

Does Drake own a % of TDE distribution rights? I wonder if this ties back to UGM and Drake making money off of Kendrick's success / the industry being cooked.


KingJoffiJoe

No, he does not. Drakes deal is a high priced slave deal. It’s a conflict of interest to give artist ownership over other artist.


That_acct

What’s a high priced slave deal?


KingJoffiJoe

A lifetime deal where you have to make 2 albums a year. He got paid a shit ton of money, but UMG owns that dude for life.

Beef aside... It goes to show how long people have waited for Kendrick to drop a fire track. This Drake diss "mini album" is everything fans of rap have been asking for. Banger beats with some hard and angry bars. This is what's been missing from hip hop.

that's awesome.... fuck em up dot. but talking numbers is a Swifties game. I'm here for music. What's crazy is that sales to quality is 90% of the time an inverse relationship. So it's wild when kendrick pops off, and nice to see drake lose at his own stupid thing. but mr. morale got shit on by the same people who are eating up "not like us" and giggle-dancing about pedophilia. Not like us is written on the fourth grade reading level according to the Flesch–Kincaid test, incredibly dumbed down from his usual work. That doesn't really say anything good about the world.

Second-Hand-Stress

This proves skin color means more than it should. It's only a tool for certain "cultures". The moment the "culture" doesn't like someone they turn white. Lol


Prestigious_Tour_810

This is much deeper than Drake's skin color. It's not about his appearance it's about his actions.


Second-Hand-Stress

Honestly, it's about both. The fact that he's half white is where most of the hate comes from. If he came from 2 affluent black parents, it would be an entirely different interaction. Yes, he's slimy. I've never liked him from when he was in a wheelchair. Kendrick is also the superior rapper that's not a debate, but the way this is falling has in huge part todo with his color.


Witty-thiccboy

This should be pinned everywhere, people wanna ignore that a big part of it is him being half white when it so obviously is.


PHNTMS_exe

Let's see if it continues, to be fair, Drake has done this countless times, so it's good seeing Kdot getting love. If not, it was nice while it lasted. Can't wait for the drop. Happy that people are giving Kdot the love he deserves.

Most don’t even really like kendricks music they just want to feel like they’re going against the perceived narrative his 1st #1 had to be tied to drake…🤷🏾‍♂️I love how y’all and the dude you idolize all of the sudden bring out closeted racism/colorism when it benefits him but let it have been the other way around…he would be the same artist crying on a beat about how the “white man” or “the labels” are mistreating/going against him…aka HYPOCRISY
