There has been no comment from Drake’s camp since a snippet of Kendrick Lamar’s alleged BET Cypher diss of the Toronto rapper was released.
Friday, singer Erykah Badu weighed in on the situation and suggested that the OVO rapper respond to Kendrick’s reported fired shots.
“Drake, u gotta come-back boy … This HipHop,” Badu tweeted.
The TDE rapper and Badu have performed together in the past including a rendition of “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” at the BET Awards this past summer. Kendrick in the past has also said that working with Badu would be his “dream collaboration.”
Drake was one of the rappers mentioned on Kendrick’s verse from Big Sean’s song “Control.”
But this is Hip Hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I’m tryna murder you niggas
In a recent HipHopDX interview with Papoose, Pap believed the diss was also targeted at him. In the interview, Papoose said he was planning to diss Kendrick Lamar soon.
“I’m dropping [a song] real soon, so people gonna see how I feel about that,” Papoose said. “It’s called ‘That’s My Word.” I want everybody to look forward to that and see what I think about that little comical situation.”
See Erykah Badu’s tweet below:

Drake scared to get at any rapper in case it leads to him being punched in the face by a random weed carrier he is super soft like that and I don’t like mc’s that cant back up what they spit Kendrick a far superior mc anyway.
I like Papoose but hes coming off as desperate for attention saying Kendrick cant shint ur shoes or is anywhere near your level is fuckin ridiculous GKMC was far better than nacerima dream and Kendrick got crazy bars
Papoose, their is a reason that you were not on kendrick’s list. Kendrick doesn’t care for you, when you talk to him kendrick be like who’s papoose? You ain’t ever had no beef with kendrick so stop taking everything as a shot for at you i mean, no sensitive niggas, no bitch ass rappers, I SHOT YOU DOWN!
i bet erykah is lookin for a fourth baby’s daddy huh ?
exactly
Who is this irrelevant girl dat want to rape wayne dat dont got money tellin drake he need to b goin in. Drake is da one with the young mulllawww babbyy. Im not bein a hater im just coolin your ass down cuz you think you hot shit. I mean its young wayne on theese hoes, aka mr. make it rain on them hoes, i mean im like the best rapper/skateboarder alive BIATCH so suck my dick and rape weezy baby.
Dumb kid.
Fuck out of here you ten year old little bitch, and go play with yourself little faggot.
I dont like Drake but wtf? EB is on the shelf since before the Towerz collapsed.
lol wtf..thats funny
thats not funny at all actually, and im not even from the USA
EB has released 3 albums since 2003
of course the batty boys are gonna diss erykah when they’ve been saying the same thing all along she’s saying
That Kendrick verse is way too over fucking hyped and that BET cypher was TRASH
if youre talking about that new snippet of cypher footage it was too short to call it trash..it was straight. That hand five thing was kinda corny tho..lol
I bet you see more cornier things that a fucking hi-five mid cypher. Fo real lol..
they just trying to make money kendrick ant as big as drake and he cant stand it …so he trying to start sum ol bullshit just to get his name out there …
Or you know they could be in a genre of music called hip hop where disses and beef are part of the culture.
^So in other words…youre saying that rappers are supposed to diss each other and have beef? riiight. Yeah that may happen in hiphop but that isn’t what hiphop should be about..if anything rappers should step up their lyrically skill up..Beefin is corny now..it got played out after the 50 cent vs every hip-hop artist fiasco.
Didn’t everyone target 50 first tho? But besides that you mean to tell me hip hop enjoyable when all the rappers just want to get into one big circle sing koombaya and circle jerk all day? Beefing has never been played out ever since Kanye came on and opened the gate to a whole bunch of “Dissing is dumb i just want to make good music” type rappers. How can you get your pen skills up if there is nobody to challenge your skill in the first place?
50 beefed with everyone in the “Im from NY” video because Ja Rule was in it. Lame. So you must like how everyone is making control disses and stuff? Dissing is lame because nowadays most rappers do it for attention. Everything is for attention..its lame. Cassidy disses Meek…Papoose disses Big Sean..its for attention.
I knew that was coming “He’s only dissing him for attention” It’s like when somebody says they don’t like Drake you get a myriad of people saying “you’re just a hater who doesn’t make as much money as him”. I don’t even like Kendrick or Drake but you know maybe these rappers just think that the people they’re dissing are whack and they’re calling them out on it. And yes I’m loving the control verses beefs can make artists churn out some great music. But nope everyone just wants peace happiness and boringness. All the rappers now just want to feature everyone on their tracks hip hop has gotten so boring lately.
The control verses are wack. Sometimes beef makes you better but nowadays its for attention and it last for like 2 days. Gone are the real rap beefs..
How about you making great music so the fans are talking about YOU as an artist and not your peer. When I play basketball i want to be better than the guy guarding me yeah but I want my team to win too. Niggas tryna win the “im better than him” war but they music be garbage. So really they aint winning. lol Im not talkin about k.dot but most niggaz that be beefing.
MHM OK…i feel what you saying. But if he think Drake is whack he need to be straight up and say i think drake or whoever is whack. Id respect that way more than “I got love for you all but….”
There will always be whack beefs not all of them are great. But when you speak about Jay you cant help but bring up that beef with Nas. Talk about 50 and eventually Ja gets mentioned. Talk Eminem and that whole Source magazine fiasco. Point is when you look back at people career the things you remember most are the beefs cuz they were well just pure entertainment. Celtics vs Lakers or Jets vs Patriots rivalries or “beef” push the artist to try and outdo their opponent and therefore get better. But now its just about being friends and trying to get everyone on your track. The competitive nature in Hip-Hop is pretty much gone now. Again not the biggest Kendrick fan but i cant help but applaud him for trying to breathe some life in this thing boring genre that’s called “Hip-Hop”.
“They don’t see the slap, all they hear is the shot
As soon as somebody hit
I’m sure they’ll run to the cops
How am I a bully of the East
If I don’t start no beef?
I meet aggression with aggression
I learned that on the streets”
It reminds me of what happened to the NBA where everything just turned into a gay ass fraternity. In the golden era of the NBA, teams like the Pistons,Bulls,Celtics and Lakers hated each other you would never see Jordan and Isiah Thomas chilling together, now Lebron dumps 50 points on a team and the guys on the bench be laughing about it. Drake and Kendrick do songs together, shit Kendrick’s hit had drake on it, they even tour together. Without animosity, dislike,disrespect or beef the competition gets watered down and I’m not saying you have to wanna kill each other but you gotta at least think someones whack or a clown.
Lol drake doesnt have the balls to go up against kendrick. Plus it would be the first time he has ever had a battle LOL
Kendrick is getting bigger and bigger but imo he will never reach drake status…Drake is the best pop rapper ever..he look damn near white, he got a crazy flow, AND the nigga sings! for petes sake. I dont care how lyrical you are..you cant compete fame/sales wise. I mean im sure its possible but its damn near impossible unless you are already established like jay-z or kanye.
I dont like how drake act soft and always act sad about bitches when he rich as hell. He can get plenty bitches. But i cant deny he is talented and hes popular. I think kendrick is more lyrical most definitely but drake is more talented.
Kendrick don’t need to reach Drake’s pop status, that’s gay anyways.
He is staying hip hop so what else do you want? Geez.
I’m not saying that he has to but ppl act like drake is a garbage rapper when he far from it. Like you saying his status is “gay” when youd love to be in his position. lol.
Bottomline is drake doesn’t have to respond hes already establish as proven by his album sales. Kendrick is a good rapper and the control diss was a success but what now? do we keep talking about it? do we bitch because the good rappers arent responding to it?
Yall so called hip-hop heads want hip-hop to be this head to head sport so bad. But in reality its more like golf. In golf you cant do anything but play your best and hope that its better than others. You can feed of your opponents game and try to do better but you cant prevent him playing his best like basketball or football. All you can do is watch.
A drake vs kendrick would be entertaining indeed but you cant be mad if he doesn’t feed into it. He doesn’t need to..
Golf? You must be white hahahaha. Fuck out of here. Hip-hop is a competitive sport, always has been, and always will be… This is not GOLF, and don’t use it as a metaphor to describe what’s going on! Drake is soft, if he wants to show that he’s got some balls then he’ll respond, plain and simple. Hahaha golf smh…
Hip-Hop only became like golf post Kanye before that it was a head to head sport as you so weirdly put it. The top dog would defend his spot from up and comers hungry for their spot. Now its just about getting whoever is hot on your song so you can sell more.
Regardless of how people feel about Badu she is absolutely right. Kendrick’s album went platinum, so it’s not like this is Drake vs Waka Flocka. He’s a main stay in Hip Hop for years to come. Drake should respond because Kendrick Lamar is relevant within the culture. It’s just healthy competition, let’s see who can out-rap the other. I mean, battling is part of hip-hop and all this “we need to stick together” is some new generation ish. If you want the top spot, earn it.
THANK YOU! When a rapper gets at another rapper nowadays they’re labeled a hater or just trying to get attention. It annoys me so dam much that this generation of rappers and kids think battling is whack and stupid.
TRUTH, cuz Drake has stated before, such as wit the common battle that he isnt gonna respond, because comm just tryna reach for sales and all that shit. Kendrick is one of the biggest rappers out right now, completely relevent, and that fact that drizzy isnt responding to him is a BITCH MADE move. I can sort of understand not responding to someone like a common, so isnt that relevent in hip hop right now, but Drake, homie u HAVE TO respond to kendrick
garbage son str8….
ALL BANDWAGON!!!
LMAO…A female must tell Drake to hollar back. But he is not the hood type and he trys to avoid drama. Nothing is wrong with that but this is Hip hop.
These stupid new age fans will forever confuse battles for beef
This is like someone’s mother/school teacher giving encouragement. Retarded. She just ruined the moment. She turned Common and Andre to soft hippy-dressing cornballz .
If I was Drake, I’d wait on this for a while and hear the original full-length cypher. I find it odd that Kendrick would be dissing Drake when on the same show, he is nominated and winning awards for collabos with him. It’s also funny how we get this two second clip / excerpt which implicates Drake but it still seems like Papoose is the likely adversary. It’s like they wanted to build hype / viewers for the show…but isn’t really at Drake?
I see this whole situation benefitting Kendrick way more than Drake even Drake respond: Kendrick ison the rise but I dont think he is at Drake’s level yet.He is not really dominating like that.
“Drake’s level”
^ lol, y’all be drooling when you stargaze
go put some work in, you’ll see Aubrey ain’t that special
WAIT FOR THE CORNY DRAKE FANS TO SAY SHIT LIKE “WHO IS ERYKAH BADU” OR MENTION ONE OF HER EX BOYFRIENDS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY LIGHT SKINNED DRAKE AINT READY TO GET EMBARRASSED. CANADA DRY
FUCK it
Kendrick just trying to get a buzz. Drake is flooding the airways and half the songs on the airways that are Kendricks is where Drake is featured.
Next album Kendrick will be asking Drake for a feature, Drake doesn’t need to bother with his 1 dimensional ass.
Kendrick is like Canibus, favorite rapper to a bunch of backpackers, not street. Drake doesn’t pretend to be street and stays in his lane and absolutely changed and dominates the game.
T.O. stand-up.
Ain’t no Toronto rapper ever do as much for his city.
Drizzy Drake, Canada.
No need to waste time with Kendrick, one second asking Drake for songs next making subliminals to get attention, LOL corny hoe
“flooding the airways”
Why is it Drake fans are so uneducated and dumb?
2 days ago one of them said “Pull of Wolves over our eyes”
It’s an expression you moron.
Google: “flooding the airways”
you will see it being used.
Drake > Kendrick
Don’t be upset Toronto produced a better artist
20 years from now Drake wont be mentioned in any top 10 conversations sure he’ll have his money but that won’t buy you any type of respect. The man is just plain corny 80% of the guys that even have him on their ipods just keep him on there for the women. But other then that dude had no real impact or changed anything. Look at his career now what is the most noteworthy thing you can say about it? Drake is probably curled in his bed holding his pet moose and drinking some syrup out a bottle like all Canadians and worrying why everyone is so mean to him.
ITS AIRWAVES MOTHERFUCKER
WHAT THE FUCK IS AN AIRWAY MORON
i think flooding your airway would stop you from breathing LOL
Cosign 100% with Blayze. Kendrick still owes Drake big-time
and Drake ownes Wayen big time, whats your point
Incorrect. Drake’s legacy will be greater and he will earn greater respect. Drake haters are obsessed with dissing Drake because of everything except his music. People used boo Justin Timberlake because of his boy band roots. Now he earning praise of all kinds of people – even toured with Jay-Z. Drake is influencing the current generation of 15 year olds who will bring his style to the next generationof kids. Most hated rappers/musicians are very often the most dominant rapper. People hated Michael Jackson until the day he died esp during the Thriller phase. Now no one denies his lengendary status. Give Drake time. 3 more albums as good as his last and he will be up there with Jay-z etc
Well that all depends on time and the same could be said for Kendrick guy only has one album under his belt. While Drake now has 3 honestly with what you’re saying i can’t really refute your logic just going to have to wait and see. But here’s one thing you do have to admit if him and Kendrick did beef 20 years from now you cant tell me people wont be like “Dam remember that beef with Kendrick shit was classic” . I don’t like Drake don’t have any real reason other then his voice is annoying and he has yet to put out a song to fully grab my attention same with Kendrick just can’t get on either of their bandwagons but Badu is right this is Hip-Hop he just has to respond Kendrick isn’t just some random nobody sure he may not be Drake status right now but he isn’t a nobody either.
” Drake is influencing the current generation of 15 year olds who will bring his style to the next generationof kids. ”
That generation is doomed! Bunch of metrosexual simps crying over bitches they left
nicca said flood the airways
I don’t usually respond to stupid shit on hhdx, but this one felt necessary. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing special about Aubrey Graham. He is super soft like the tissue I whipe my ass with and its funny to hear people talk about him like he’s the greatest ever. He’s only allowed this hype because lil wayne gave him the berth, same with the straight lil kim clone, nick minaj. “He’s the greatest thing out of Toronto.” Really? That’s sad. I mean I knew Toronto had bitches, but this is your bottom one? As for whoever made that MJ comment, no you dumb fuck, people did not hate Michael Jackson before he died. That’s how he got away from 2 child molestation charges right? People loved Michael to his point of legendary status. If they could bring back one person right now from death, Mike is at the top of a whole lot of lists, because the world loved him and his music so much. I’ll take Billy Jean over Started from the bottom any day
Look at all of these dumb Drake stans making up bullshit to defend their hero.
drakes flooding the airways bro you dont even know it
COSIGN DL Dub
it’s A-I-R-W-A-V-E-S
how you LISTEN to music on RADIO and get that f*cked up?
You know you’re a bitch nigga when you got erykah badu of all people, an r&b singer telling you to respond
And you know you don’t know shit about your hip hop history when you’re calling Erykah Badu an R&B singer…
sorry neo-soul was on the tip of my tongue LOL
or should i have called her the sacred vagina of all of hip-hop birthing the children of raps elite rhyme makers
Witty response…touche
If hip hop is a competitive sport shouldn’t people be trying to do the best they can without worrying about other people? Just a thought Its not beef or a battle if one person is just sending shots.. Sounds like somebody’s trying get attention Kendrick hasn’t said Drake’s name in a diss record so Drake cant just diss him off the strength that Kendrick MAY be talking about him Y’all sit on this bitch all day just talking about how this nigga Drake is sus or a bitch or a fag but No one has openly dissed Drake in hip hop
you didnt see all those interviews of a very butthurt drake talking about Control and Kendrick?
he got time to cry in interviews and at his shows but no time to make a response!!!
She trying to make Drake her next baby-daddy
Why should Drake take advice from Erykah Badu? She hasn’t been relevant in a long time. Drake has been far more successful than she ever was. Maybe she should take a look at Drakes career and take notes herself. No one gives a shit that she ruined both Andre 3000 and Common? Fuck that bitch lol, Drake doesn’t give a shit about what Badu has to say and honestly is better off not even responding. He’s been winning for years, why would he change anything up?
” Drake has been far more successful than she ever was. ”
this isnt true at all
1 album 3x plat, 1 album 2x plat, 1 album plat, 1 album gold and she didnt have to sell records to lil white girls and soccer moms
Erykah Badu: Net Worth: $12 Million. Been active 16 years
Drake Net Worth: $30 Million. Been active 4 years.
not too mention he is gonna get paid out the ass for this new album…..
Success is measured in money dumb dumb…..
Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer sold millions of albums and made millions of dollars
Doesnt make them great or respected in the culture
Drakes been active more than 4 years bruh, he been acting on tv since he was like 12
I guess Nicki is more successful than Drake?
Drake – Things Fall Apart dropped in 2009. Thats 4 years. I’m not even a Drake fan I’m just speaking the truth. Fuck Erykah Badu.
What truth? You’re just being a major Drake dickrider.
definitely not dick riding. If anything I joke about Drake being soft on a weekly basis. All I’m saying is Erykah Badu is out of place to speak on the subject. Her 2 cents doesn’t really mean much. Also, from a strategic standpoint…. Drake “responding” would not be beneficial to his career. He is already selling very well and having great success. Kendrick name dropping has everyone excited and shit… lmao…. The same people that were hating on The Game for name dropping be worshipping Kendrick Llama… Erykah Badu? This is the softest rap “beef” I’ve ever encountered lol
and yes Nicki Minaj is more successful than Drake.
little ken got these boys all fucked up i see
This is so lame. Drake should not be a fool and Ja Rule himself with this crap. The media wants Kendrick to pull a 50 on Drake so bad it’s sickening. All this is to keep KL hot. Drizzy is the best right now and there isn’t anyone close.
Drake ain’t the best, stanley.
best and most popular are not mutually exclusive
You see how women set niggas up? Did Kendrick even confirm it was a Drake dis? It sounded more like it was for Papoose, and we haven’t even heard the WHOLE verse!
Drake is acting like a salty bitch in interviews, meanwhile Pusha T, who was also named in “Control” acted like a grown man and did a song with Kendrick.
Kendrick is the hottest in the game RIGHT NOW. Drake may sell more, but Kendrick is hotter and makes better albums.
And Toronto niggas, stop acting like Drake makes your city look good. Kardinall Offishall reps T.O the best, while Drake is a cream puff who just reinforces the stereotype that Canadian niggas are soft.
Wtf are y’all niggaz all like “hip-hop should is competitive” …”they should beef”..why? Only the hip hop heads want rappers to beef. In the grand scheme of things, that being music in entirely, beef and disses are irrelevant. Yeah hov vs nas was great…50 vs murder inc was alright…but those days are over. now its about appealing to the masses and im sorry but just having hip-hop heads aint enoug ask cannibus or mos def..these cats had the lyricism but only true hip-hop heads could appreciate thaem. You think drake fans care about him beefing with k.dot? Hell no. It’s the other way around. K.dot fans and drake haters want k.dot to ether the nigga so bad but drake ain’t even a pure hip-hop artist..
Truth is I think they’re pretty evenly match in term of flow and lyricism. I’d lean slightly towards k.dot but he isn’t leagues above him like people act. It’s a reason why k.dot and other wanted drake on the album..and it ain’t just cuz he popular.. Justin beiber is popular and he sings and raps apparently lol, but niggaz wouldn’t put him on they album. Drake will in most cases make your song hotter..
“Drake will in most cases make your song hotter..”
Truth right here. Just ask Rick Ross and DJ Khaled
Doke is an example of your typical bandwagon pop fan.
1. Kendrick does more rambling than Drake though. Sometimes he combines things that sound good without them actually making sense. He’s a great artist though.
2. Kendrick said that he didn’t want people’s fans to remember them. Drake said that he can’t fully respect the man for not going all in. I don’t know how you were raised Doke, but that “SOUNDS LIKE FIGHTING WORDS TO ME.”
Im on the bandwagon cuz I’m being honest? Lol. What is the bandwagon in this topic exactly? It seems like k.dot would be… your lying to yourself if you think drake isn’t talented. You can talk about all the other shit that’s irrelevant like he act soft, he from Canada, he makes pop songs, blah blah. He is talented…but you either like him or not.
very true. He can definitely rap. Biggest problem I have with Drake is people (including him) want to say he is the top rapper out now because of his sales but I think a lot of his numbers come from females who like the pop stuff. I want to see Drake do an all rap album (which he won’t) that is critically loved before I can call him a top rap anything.
See I can agree with that completely. He cant claim hip hops king when he doesn’t even make a pure hip hop album, that makes sense. I feel the same way about him. It just ridicculous when people just say “drake is the worst rapper becuz he is soft” type comments.
I can question that talent too.
He can’t sing. He ain’t spitting like that. Someone else produces for him. All of those “hits” but when’s the last time you heard someone say they bought a Drake song?
Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye (Drake’s so-called inspiration) were writing those hits for Motown. The Aaliyah project is dead. No Drake duets with polished singers.
Where’s the talent?
what exactly is he talented at? Are you associating pop sales with “talent.”
“smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye…we’re writing those hit for Motown”
What’s your point? Drake writes hits for ymcmb, himself and others most notable bring Alicia keys and Beyonce.
“all of those hits but when’s the last time you heard someone say they bought a drake song”
Still not seeing your point. You cant make a “hit” unless people buy it. He sold over 600k first week. No I don’t expect people to say “I bought drake album” but the numbers don’t lie.
He is a talented songwriter and lyricist. No his singing isnt great but its adaquete. Plus theres only a handful of good active male rnB artist any way. Its an easy lane to be in. You don’t have to like him but you denying he has any talent is pure hate.
I think she should shut up and stop having kids by random niggaz
Dayum she going INNNN!!!
“Drake, u gotta come-back boy … This HipHop,” Badu tweeted.”
^ this says it all
you can try to defend him, lie, make up excuses as to why he don’t have to compete, but YOU have to compete everyday for yours, why doesn’t he?
And I’ll say it AGAIN, he can’t sing, and he ain’t the best rapper out. Somewhere down the line he’s going to have to decide which side he’s on and stick with it, because he can’t play the borderline/gray area forever.
Cause he’s making #1 albums, and banking crazy cash. It’s not like he can’t battle. Like Wayne, he ain’t battling for free. Kendrick can rattle off all the flashy lines he wants, but numbers do Drake’s talking, and he murdered Kendrick.
“he cant play the borderline/gray area forever”
Why? becuz YOU say so?
Nas, Jay, and anyone else we respect didn’t let album sales talk for them. The went out and made people respect them. Drake is not going to do that cause he’s scared to lose. Point Blank
drake a problem \
just whn u think the lil wayne era is over they bring in drake
fuck cashmoney records
“1 album 3x plat, 1 album 2x plat, 1 album plat, 1 album gold”
Anything lately?
last thing she released was a baby by jay electronica the god MC
y does drake have to respond? pusha t just did a video with him. he named pusha. he named several rappers. y does it make drake soft if he doesnt respond but its ok for the others not to. y? bc drake is a beast and all of you know it so you want him to respond but imo he would be stupid to get sucked into it. let papoose have it. out of kendrick’s entire list of rappers drake has the least to prove. he been successful form the jump.
Tru..he named a lot of rappers that havent responded nor spoke on it.
It’s more because Drake BASICALLY said in an interview thatit was a bitch move on Kendrick’s part because it wasn’t a real and individual diss. So Kendrick decided to diss him again.
And Drake also said Kendrick isn’t murdering him, at all, on any platform whatsover and they could revisit the topic when the day came.
It’s not about gettin’ sucked into it. It’s HIP HOP. You guys skip from taking it personally to letting it go completely. There is a balance in-between. Pusha T understood, but Kendrick would shoot if anybody called him out. Bet that.
Exactly @mez…..Kendrick is personally calling Drake out. It’s like people are saying Kendrick can do whatever, but people aren’t allowed to respond in a certain way?
Did he reply to Shyne?
Shyne??? LOL…boy stop. i still dont get it. millz had a little response and no one cared. i really believe its bc most ppl (even the ones that wont admit it) believe drake is either the best or the most entertaining of all the rappers that he names and ppl want drake to respond more than any of these other rappers. several rappers responded. no one paid attention. seems like if he wouldnt have named drake no one would even still be talking about the verse at this point.
the only rapper named to respond in song was meek and it was garbage
People Kill me with that real pure hip-hop bull… First of all, females and whites are the number 1 consumers of hip-hop albums period. That includes your street hardcore rappers. The hood don’t buy albums so why cater to them, im sure they bootlegged his shit, Drake is talented, he can rap, and it’s not all about lyrics, if it was Jada Kiss would be the one of the #1 rappers in history, just because you can make words rhyme doesn’t mean you have the “It” factor. Fans are the strength and weakness of these artist, that why some good artist aren’t around here, yall support them on the inbterenet but not at the stores
What the hell is going on around here? I just logged on & had to search for the daily Drake segment. Why is it down so far on the news list?
SO SHE BOUT TO HAVE BABY KENDRICK THIS TIME AROUND??
“last thing she released was a baby by jay electronica the god MC”
That went triple wood.
LMAO!!!
“20 years from now Drake wont be mentioned in any top 10 conversations”
Nobody will.
naw Drake will will remembered forever as one of the softest niggas to ever pic up a microphone
the way it is going hip hop will be totally transformed in 20 years,
Everybody sittin here talking about Drake and K.Dot like there’s a reason to be beefing. It’s as simple as listening.
‘But this is Hip Hop and them niggas should know what time it is…names artists…I got love for you all but I’m tryna murder you niggas.’
He’s simply saying he’s out to be the best and he wants to be at the top. The verse was fire. PERIOD. Call him one dimensional, whatever, the verse was FIRE. Everybody hollering ‘Oh he dissed this person that person etc.’ It’s like saying that if you play a game and you are not known as the best, you won’t try to be the best. No matter if you like the person at the top or not, ANYBODY would want that title. Errbody keep trying to gas these two up, they got respect for each other, no need to beef. Beef over some real diss shit. Not someone making a statement that they wanna be at the top.
Furthermore, YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE TWO. They are not even the same. Two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT styles of music. K. Dot is West Coast with a rapper persona, Drake is not even a rapper. He is a hybrid artist and that’s him. That’s what makes him unique and why a lot of people like him. SO WHAT? And all the damn Canadians act like because he’s from there, somehow hey famous now because they are from T.O. NOT THE CASE. He reps Houston a lot lately, so chill out with that. Drake is Drake and K.Dot is K.Dot PERIOD. Every artist got haters.
MONEY IS NOT SUCCESS EITHER, Some of the greatest of all time were successful and not worth 50 or 60 Million. Nas is not all about the money. He puts his heart in his music and has love for it. Success is in the eye of the beholder. If you are happy in your life, and are satisfied with what you have, you can call yourself successful. Everybody can call Drake soft, whatever, but if that man is doing him, let him do him. If he wanna sing, so what, he’s at a point in his career where he can do that. How can you hate on someone doing something if you never been in his shoes? He’s apparently doing something right, if he’s soft and not hard enough, don’t listen to him. Your choice. But hating on him and whatever he’s done to get to where he’s at, is JUST THAT, your HATE. I’m sure because any one of you hating on him will cross his mind as he is doing his next album. Exactly. I’m done, sory for ranting, but for real my nigga?
How is Drake not a rapper? lol
maybe Drake is a hybrid artist now, but he started as a rapper….so how can you claim new lands when the place you started at is questioning your heart? like Ms Badu said…This Hip HOp
“naw Drake will will remembered forever as one of the softest to ever pic up a microphone”
This coming from the softest poster on this site.

“Doesnt make them great or respected in the culture”
That’s only cause they didn’t evolve and change with the times. If Hammer still had money, he could have easily ended up where Jay is today. Money is how you define success. Does Diddy care if you think he’s relevant, or if you think he’s good at what he does all day, everyday, 365 days a year? All he and any successful artist care about is the bottom line. Respect, and co-signs are nice, but those come and go. It’s the money that still opens doors assuming you still have it years down the line.
drake? LOL.
