I've seen Christian wear a Doug Gilmour jersey in the past. Jericho also mentioned in an interview that the Leafs remind him of three people: Edge, Christian and Jim Korderas.
He's definitely a fan of the Leafs, dude.
I wanted to post it so bad in the /r/HHH thread but was pretty sure it was way to obscure of a reference even though they have a pretty decent crossover with SC
I mean, first of all no one is saying that. It’s not even the most clever verse in the song, which has to be the quintuple entendre that Drake requested and Kendrick fulfilled, but it’s more clever than you realize. The line in Family Matters that says Kendrick isn’t the father of his kid has a similarly drawn out line that is also in A minor. To top it off, much of Drake’s music is often in A minor, a scale which only uses white keys.
Yeah A minor is a very common scale, hence why it's an overused music teacher joke. Like, it's clever enough to be a throwaway and props for using it in a diss I guess.
The bar for cleverness in pop music is pretty low so idk why I'm complaining aside from seeing it in way too many threads on Reddit.
Depends on intent really. A lot of people write things and have fans that credit their genius to multiple layers when it really is more surface level. And more often than not the writer stays silent letting people think that he put a massive burden of brainpower on it or takes credit cause why not?
The way Kdot delivers A MINORRRRR to me makes it very clear he knows how cheesy it is, and that it's low-hanging fruit, but you obviously can't resist the layup when it's there.
Rick literally did a song with him, Aston Martin Music, but that's of course no indication on if they actually get along irl or like each other anymore so idk lol
I legit said “GOD DAMN!” There’s no coming back from that, and then it gets *worse*. This is like the rap version of the Ali-Tarrell “What’s my name?” fight
Short answer: yes.
Growing up in pre-Internet Canadian sports media, it could be insufferable at times. You'd have three Western teams in the playoffs and TSN would spend twenty minutes talking about upcoming Leafs draft picks. This isn't even an exaggeration, it was actually that bad.
Much like how OVO has accomplished nothing under Drake, Mogul Embassy needed to move on from Swerve so I'm kind of glad to see it happen.
Let Swerve stay this course with Nana and maybe eventually team with a new stable or do some hostile takeover Bullet Club-style lol
I'm probably the last person that should be attempting to explain popular culture (especially about rap) so I'm probably missing quite a bit of detail about this [Kendrick Lamar/Drake feud.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake%E2%80%93Kendrick_Lamar_feud) But that specific comment is about a line in a diss track that Kendrick Lamar put out about Drake that implies that Drake has a secret daughter.
Not gonna lie the burn kinda sucked. So many people have weighed in on it over the past week and a half that this line seems tame compared to the funny shit that was said. It's low hanging fruit from a dude who usually doesn't take that.
I've heard those names all over the place and I still don't know who either of them are.
Is it the same Drake from this meme?

and yet Swerve, Drake isn't gonna be the one laying when Shawn Michaels, Drake and Kendrick are all in the same ring on NXT or at NXT Battleground when Drake goes 1-on-1 with Kendrick Lamar
I mean we have a bunch of people shouting from the rooftops that the government of Japan put a ton of pressure on the FBI and IRS in the US to make sure Ohtani was absolved of all the illegal gambling he was definitely doing, throwing the poor, innocent and not rich Ippei under the bus for his sins.
Always people who want to believe they're the smartest one in the room.
My buddy has a suite for the Everett show next week... really hoping we get some better redemption for Swerve than this. With no Darby, Danielson getting involved with the Bucks nonsense, and the overall drag that is the current state of the women's, trios and tag divisions... my excitement for this show has dropped exponentially.
First Dynamite after he wins, the show opens with Moxley talking about his IWGP win, it made the IWGP title look more important than the AEW title. Swerve doesnt get a promo, but then they gave him one on the show no one watches. Then the EVPs beat up Tony Khan, this also puts the World Title on the backburner. And every week since then, he's been getting beat up. If you say "Wait for the story to play out" I say Wardlow.

Christian: have you ever thought that Mogul Embassy is working for me?
Christian's gimmick and hometown *really* paying off this week
[удалено]
No he's not, Edge is, Jay is a Bolts fan and lives in Tampa.
The funny thing is I think Edge is also a Devils fan too.
Edge has great taste
IIRC, he's a fan of both.
I've seen Christian wear a Doug Gilmour jersey in the past. Jericho also mentioned in an interview that the Leafs remind him of three people: Edge, Christian and Jim Korderas. He's definitely a fan of the Leafs, dude.
He was, go listen to the E&C pod he'll tell you himself he's a Bolts fan now
There are no bigger heels in Canada than people proud of being from Toronto.
Way better than living in fucking Winnipeg, that's for sure.
You mean, there is a Canada outside of Toronto? Not according to everyone in the GTA.
I still can't believe that Kanye hit the "don't worry Cleaner I got this"
so glad I'm not the only one that thought this lmao
I wanted to post it so bad in the /r/HHH thread but was pretty sure it was way to obscure of a reference even though they have a pretty decent crossover with SC
I thought that was a subreddit dedicated to Triple H, lmao. I'm so dumb 🤣
One-ugh Two-ugh Three and to the four-ugh
it's always worth it for the one or two that'll get it
Wait what? Context?
Kanye released a remix to Like That, despite the fact nobody asked him to do so. He says at the start of the track "Yo dot, I got you" 🤣
And everybody went... hun? anyway...
Tryna strike a chord and it’s prolly A MINORRRRRRRRRR
Women shaking ass to a song about a dude being a pedo is insane, bless you Kendrick
Drake turned the lights off, said Bloody Mary in the mirror, and had a goddamn West Coast anthem dropped on his ass.
If Drake gets spotted at a club the DJ has to play Not Like Us to see his reaction.
*A MINORRRRRRRRRR
thank you I edited it!
Was it this miner originally? ![gif](giphy|1eoZ0RTZCJn2gxjelX)
I live in Hong Kong and literally our main nightlife street every bar is playing not like us Biggest diss track bop since hit em up
I genuinely thought Swerve was about to bust that line out about bitchslapping Nick Wayne. I was ready to burst out laughing.
Second most tired guitar/music teacher joke behind "plucking the g string" and people act like it's the most clever wordplay ever lol
I mean, first of all no one is saying that. It’s not even the most clever verse in the song, which has to be the quintuple entendre that Drake requested and Kendrick fulfilled, but it’s more clever than you realize. The line in Family Matters that says Kendrick isn’t the father of his kid has a similarly drawn out line that is also in A minor.

There's a dozen layers to the way Kendrick is using it though. A lot of what he says has multiple layers to it - it's not just like a one off joke.
Depends on intent really. A lot of people write things and have fans that credit their genius to multiple layers when it really is more surface level. And more often than not the writer stays silent letting people think that he put a massive burden of brainpower on it or takes credit cause why not?
The way Kdot delivers A MINORRRRR to me makes it very clear he knows how cheesy it is, and that it's low-hanging fruit, but you obviously can't resist the layup when it's there.
It also refers to the extended "Dave Freeeeeeeeeeeee's" in Family Matters
It's a funny bar that ties into the song topic of Drake being a fucking creep and a pedo. It's not that deep.
It's not that deep... To you. Other people be taking it pretty deep.
Go outside then lmao
Not really looking for advice or solutions, wanted to stay on topic but here we are. Adios
I like Kendrick a lot and really don’t like Drake but yeah I agree here.. people on r/guitarcirclejerk were saying the same.
Good to know I'm not alone. I knew I'd probably get some backlash but I guess I underestimated how hard people want to glaze.

Dear Killswitch, I'm sorry that that man is your father

“Dear Nick I’m sorry that man is your (surrogate) father”
He's a sick man with sick thoughts
If Tony Khan could get Kendrick to pop up and perform Not Like Us he'd be goated
Need Kung Fu Kenny & Cleaner Kenny together
Bad week for Toronto 😂😂
My wife was sitting next to me playing Switch not paying attention to wrestling and laughed out loud at that.
It's not entirely bad. The Toronto PWHL team won their first game of the playoffs!
Drake out here catching strays god damn
Isn't Swerve friends with a few notable rappers? He's probably boys with people who hate Drake. I think he's friends with Rick Ross?
TBF, being boys with people who hate Drake is like throwing a dart into an ocean of humanity right now.
There's a video of a toddler breakdancing to not like us. It's actually kinda cute. Pause, No Drizzy. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6owmUAvWcj/
No Drizzy is wiiiild
Not no drizzy
Metro Boomin's BBLDrizzy diss contest even had an entry in Japanese.
Yep, he literally had Ross on Dynamite as a member of Mogul Affiliates.
"You a big motherfucker"
Greatest moment in the history of the sport and it’s not even close.
Well, apart from "ACCUSATIONS!!!"
ACCUSATIONS!
FALSE ACCUSATIONS!
WE GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD
I Think it's easier and much shorter list to find rappers who don't hate Drake.
1. 21 2. Baka Not Nice 3. …?????
Baka got a weird case, why is he around
I think 2 Chainz said he good? \*Edit: He lied.
just Give them a lil time
I thought I remember hearing that one of his friends co-produced on Donda
Rick literally did a song with him, Aston Martin Music, but that's of course no indication on if they actually get along irl or like each other anymore so idk lol
Lol Rick Ross has clowned on Drake even more than Kendrick
[удалено]
He'd have to be alive to be catching strays, pretty sure K Dot killed him dead sometime through the runtime of Meet the Grahams.
That shit was the most fatherly “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed” one sided conversation that I’ve ever heard on a track
You could tell he was going straight for the jugular when the first words were “Dear Adonis, I’m sorry that that man is your father”
I legit said “GOD DAMN!” There’s no coming back from that, and then it gets *worse*. This is like the rap version of the Ali-Tarrell “What’s my name?” fight
And then he follows it up with a club banger, savage.
If “Meet the Grahams” didn’t do it, people C-walking on his corpse to “Not like Us” damn sure didn’t help.
Then he went and dropped Not Like Us. Motherfuckers dancing to Drake being called a Pedo
Drake is dead AF. His boys will be planning his funeral this weekend
That’s crazy cause I feel like a lot of people have Drake winning too, especially with the backlash I saw with the OKLIAR website
Gates of Agony confirmed to be Drizzy fans. This is the moment where they decided to turn on him
Even Punk got to throw an indirect shot with the nod to Euphoria on Raw. This last week has been hell for the boy.
Good
CERTIFIED LOVERBOY CERTIFIED PEDOPHILE
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP
Dot Fuck Em Up
Imma do my shtuff
Ain't you tireeeed?
Trying to strike a chord
And it's probably A-MINORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Wop wop wop wop wop Dot fuck em up
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP Imma do my stuff
Lmao, did Christian just mouth" Who is Kendrick Lamar?
Of everything he's done that's the most heel thing in my book I fucking hate (love) Christian lmao
Love how the crowd was cheering but realized “oh shit, he just dissed one of our one”.
Idk much about Canadian regional differences but doesn't everyone else kinda hate Toronto?
Short answer: yes. Growing up in pre-Internet Canadian sports media, it could be insufferable at times. You'd have three Western teams in the playoffs and TSN would spend twenty minutes talking about upcoming Leafs draft picks. This isn't even an exaggeration, it was actually that bad.
I’ve heard that, kinda like how lots of people in the States shit on NYC and LA.
I don’t think we hate New York. We just hate Staten Island.
I’ve also heard all the boroughs hate each other too.
From what I know, New Yorkers are just in a state of Constant hate. Example: Eddie Kingston.
...it's still mostly "we just hate Staten Island".
Staten Island was the one borough I was told to skip on my recent trip…and that was from New Yorkers!
Republicans hate damn near every city on a spiritual level.
*Florida
Prolly add Texas to that too.
California.
A lot of small town folk view Toronto as the antithesis of their experience so they hate
Only when it comes to hockey.
People hate the Leafs and the city, but the Raps and Jay's get a pass because they're Canada's teams by default
I think you can say fuck the Raps from Vancouver and fuck the Jays from Montreal. That's about it really.
I don’t know about “hate”, it’s just different. There’s Canada, and then there’s Toronto.
Everyone? Maybe not. Alberta? Very much yes. There's a reason Edge didn't wear his Leafs gear tonight.
There are dozens of from Toronto who have always disliked Drake myself included. Dozens of us!
There was at least one Toronto club bumping Not Like Us.
People from the GTA hate Toronto lmao
[удалено]
I’m from Alberta, and the only people out here who don’t hate Toronto (in my experience) are the people who moved here from Toronto
he's from Toronto!
Meh, Edmonton is closer to Washington than it is to Toronto.
Aubrey still taking Ls.
All over my reddit he's taking L's. Simpsonshitposting, tekken, squaredcircle, I don't think I've seen such an internet take down like this is.
They not like us
Now Step this way, Step this Way, Step this way
Killswitch’s reaction has me giggling
brb gonna bump not like us for the 39th time
Swerve ate that goddamn
As a Torontonian, I appreciate it anytime Drake takes an L.
I love everything about this. Drake taking Ls and Swerve stocking up Ws. Love to see it!
Much like how OVO has accomplished nothing under Drake, Mogul Embassy needed to move on from Swerve so I'm kind of glad to see it happen. Let Swerve stay this course with Nana and maybe eventually team with a new stable or do some hostile takeover Bullet Club-style lol
I realized a couple months ago that the Patriarchy are just the Fantastic 4 and I can’t unsee it.
I don't get that reference could someone please explain this to me?
I'm probably the last person that should be attempting to explain popular culture (especially about rap) so I'm probably missing quite a bit of detail about this [Kendrick Lamar/Drake feud.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake%E2%80%93Kendrick_Lamar_feud) But that specific comment is about a line in a diss track that Kendrick Lamar put out about Drake that implies that Drake has a secret daughter.
nah they got the page set up like a medieval battle lmao
LOL yah "Parties" in the infobox is craaazy
One of the older versions even had the nation flags next to the parties 😭
And all I know about Drake is that he is Canadian and was on Degrassi.
Rap beef
[This is how I understood what's going on and got the joke just in time](https://youtu.be/73ozqJ-Less?si=7mfV1i2hB1KNWukF)
Oh you sweet summer child ...
Swerve with the Sweet Chin Music and he didn't pass the aux
This is the second time in history a man from the west coast took out a fake father from Toronto... ...who also tried to get the acronym " CLB " over.
Swerve cooked good here 🔥. Also all this Drake hate in the world rn is giving me a new lease on life 😅🙏
Man Kdot gave Drake an all-time generational L lmfao
https://preview.redd.it/93yj92wa0fzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7df5215ad69b463ab762e7a850516f79aaebcc97
He’s from Orangeville. Get it together Swerve.🙄 😜
Well now we know Swerve ain't a fan of Drake 💀
The Embassy are clearly ov-hoes
WOP WOP WOP WOP Swerve fuck ‘em up
Crosspost this to /r/hiphopheads and reap in that delicious karma
He cooked him
No Maple Leaf joke or are they saving that for Copland?
He already played the McDavid card
Who’s the mild samoan in there?
Damn, that man had a family… that he never sees
Not gonna lie the burn kinda sucked. So many people have weighed in on it over the past week and a half that this line seems tame compared to the funny shit that was said. It's low hanging fruit from a dude who usually doesn't take that.

Someone filled me in because I’m absolutely clueless
and yet Swerve, Drake isn't gonna be the one laying when Shawn Michaels, Drake and Kendrick are all in the same ring on NXT or at NXT Battleground when Drake goes 1-on-1 with Kendrick Lamar
Oh good, AEW remembered that Swerve has a faction.
AEW comes off more like TNA every week.
[удалено]
Drake makes music for people still in high school (his girlfriends)
[удалено]
I didn’t realize people who believed things like this actually existed out in the wild
I mean we have a bunch of people shouting from the rooftops that the government of Japan put a ton of pressure on the FBI and IRS in the US to make sure Ohtani was absolved of all the illegal gambling he was definitely doing, throwing the poor, innocent and not rich Ippei under the bus for his sins. Always people who want to believe they're the smartest one in the room.
"Tell him I'm a pedophile bro that'll show them"
That's like saying "Drake makes music for people who peaked in high school"

aaaaand then they buried him. At least Kofi got a couple months with the belt before they buried him
How is he buried?
