With the power of hindsight, Drake should have checked himself.. he was overzealous and ended up further energizing Kendrick and even the west coast haha.

Metro is at Kendrick’s crib right now , laying some crazy drums on the response 😭😭😂😂

It could be hubris, but Drake also knows that even if he didn’t have confidence, he would still need to project it i.e. fake it till you make it. This is just as much a PR battle over public perception as it is lyrical warfare.

Jay Z was begging Nas to respond and he got Ethered. This not gonna end well for Drake 😂

I think drake’s acting like this because he’s kinda in a win win situation. His place in hip hop and music history is cemented so if he wins the beef it just launches him higher in the rankings and if he loses the narrative whenever it comes up in the future will always be that all the biggest artist had to gang up on him to give him a L Edit: To clarify i do not believe this but this is just the narrative that’ll probably be attached to it. I know drake has been throwing subs at al these people and brought most of this on himself. I also dont think that drake is being ganged up on tbh. Drake has a lot of the media on his side and debatably the biggest hip hop platform akademics legitimately spreading drake propaganda. In my opinion thats harder to go up against than a few artists sending shots.

He’s masking his anxiety with overconfidence. He ain’t got nothing on Dot bc Kendrick don’t do the goofy internet stuff. That’s why he had to use the push up/ height theme for his diss. This is gonna be funny to watch! Drake is a city girl

Kendrick baited Drake into this, he wouldn’t of cleared like that if he didn’t know that this was gonna turn into a battle

It’s crazy how Drake is pressuring Kendrick to drop immediately when he took a whole month to respond

Drake is doing too much , he is acting like Kendrick has already responded

I kept thinking about this video after Kendrick dropped MTG tonight

That “Hi Whitney” song is not no damn AI….it was to let Kendrick know where Drake is willing to go.

Imma be honest, Drakes confidence terrifies me

Big Sean is preforming April 25th wait on that date

I wouldn’t say “confident” he just being really loud rn. The loudest in the room usually isn’t.

As a lifelong Kendrick fan I’m biased but I can’t see a world where Kendrick takes an L here

Idk about you guys but all this drake "confidence" screams insecure. Reaching out to akademics, rory and Mal, kai and charla makes me think he is desperate to be viewed as the alpha in this situation by essentially buying media. Also being on social media 24/7 like drake has and spreading the rumor kendrick had a 4 year diss track and spreading the rumor that AI diss track was real tells me he wants to be viewed as a winner sooooo bad. Also drake on pop star raps: "body guards dont look like kevin cosner you tweekin, just pulled up on Whitney huston for the weekend" So its clear drake is gonna spread a rumor about Kendricks wife. Which could backfire. Also he didn't officially release push ups maybe because taylor swift is releasing and he wants that number 1 and we all know taylor will be number 1

What do you expect Drake to behave? If he’s acting scared and ducking like j Cole he’ll be slander more than he has been

A lot of us Kendrick fans are aware of the method of Kendrick’s madness. Drake has been baring Kendrick which is why he showed up to Kendrick tour show in Canada. The thing is Kendrick has never hid who he was as a person, he puts it in his music. Maybe Drake does know something about Kendrick maybe not idk but what I do know is Kendrick embodies authentic hip-hop Drake knows this. If Kendrick treats this like he does his albums he is going to surgically dissect Drake layer by layer and Drake is doing more damage than good with his online antics but hey 🤷🏽‍♀️. I remember when Kendrick did an interview and said when he write his music plays out like a movie in his head I can’t ever remember him dropping a single that don’t tie into a project. I don’t foresee this ending well for Drake. After drop and give me 50 he should have went radio silent and waited for a response. Everyone else is shocked by Kendrick silence all except his fans who been there from the beginning this is nothing new to us. You have to be careful what you wish for.

He's confident cause he knows ppl think he lame, aint built like that, isn't a rapper, and so on. And now he has the best chance to prove everyone wrong and go down as the best rapper of this generation. So he accepts this opportunity gladly in order to accomplish a graceful exit.

Drake welcomes the beef. He knows how to stay relevant, and that’s what this beef is gonna do

Man I love your channel. One of the best takes I've seen on this situation. Keep it up.

Drake is trying to look strong in this moment. People are often times over confident when they know that the end is near. Look at his friend Tory Lanez, he sat online for months claiming innocence and behaving as if it was all a set-up but is now sitting in prison for 10 years. He knew what was up but used social media big talk to make himself feel better. We will see...

Drake leaks this year are going crazy

I'd be comfortable too If I had writers on my side.

Watching this in hindsight is very funny. He treated Kendrick like he was Meek and lost badly. He just strategized poorly. He probably thought that Kendrick would take a week to respond to Family Matters since he dropped it late on Friday. If he properly estimated Kendrick he would’ve had a couple extra tracks ready just in case. Running with the 20 v 1 narrative didn’t help him either. You even called Metro coming back in with the BBL Drizzy disstrumental. Now everyone is either making diss tracks for Drake or crip walking to ped0 allegations. 10/10 video. Aged well. 💯

I think people are missing out on something that seems to be quite obvious to me, Drake is TERRIFIED. He is doing a lot of talking, sending memes, being funny, chatting up everyone and it seems to be a product of fear. Kendrick is looming over him without saying a word, and Drake knows he has the potential to drop a nuke and change everything. It seems like a classic case of overcompensating, and I don't know why nobody has caught that yet.

man drake probably knows some crazy shii about kdot😂i never thought he’d be brave enough to taunt kdot

Drake is the REAL Thanos right now. Out the Big 3 Drake is the most battle tested and is litterally taking on some of the best artists of our time all at wonce and STILL is winning and going strong. Yes, Kendrick is incredible but I think we are about to see the biggest upset in Hip Hop history when Drake wins in the end.

You called it! Nice work.

He’s confident because he has all the connections to be that. He’s been doing secret deals taking a bigger cut of the out whenever he works with anyone and it’s messed up and now it’s making sense why all these men are upset with him.

This is literally the fight we’ve been asking for forever it’s lit

haven’t commented in a while but i still watch every vid you’re my favorite channel on youtube rn 🔥 keep it up

I dont think drake is confident in knowing he can beat kendrick in a rap battle but knowing he can win public opinions by using his connects in with new age media with streamers spreading lies adin ross and dj ak

Drake very much needs to be humbled.

You’ve earned my Sub after this much content your on a role bro 🔥. I respect the unbiased opinion

Aged like wine

Drake just trying to gaslight the public. Lol

Truly my favorite rap commentary youtuber

reminds me of drakes confidence in the pusha t beef

Does anyone remember when drake dropped “summer 16” and meek mill responded to the diss in under 30 min? Yes meek lost that beef, but that’s very respectable in my opinion.

Big difference between spilling the tea and lyrically dissecting someone like Nas’s ether.

This aged like fine wine lol. Kendrick cooked that boy

Bro Drake is really scared as shit. People are scared of silence, Dot doesn't do social media so Drake is just trying to control the narrative and it must be working because you actually believe he's confident. He wants Kendrick to hurry up and drop because he knows what happens when Kendrick cooks. He doesn't want to give Kendrick weeks to cook him. Dot is aiming for the charts with this. "Stop playing with me for I turn you to a song"

When you get to run to your writers guild for verse that would have you feeling somewhat safe 😂😂

i think he feel for kendricks trap. Kendrick got alot to say

idk if this is a hot take or not but i hate this "exposure" game. i think drake is opening a can of worms none of us (especially not him) want opened. i prefer it when its rap competition instead of digging through peoples closets finding skeletons and shit. edit: dogshit youtube did something goofy with formatting

You called it

YE JUST dissed both COLE N DRAKE! 🔥 REMIX LIKE THAT Ye!

Drake is in do or die mode. If he wins, there’s no other comp to dismiss. If he loses, he either dies off completely or is stunted in some way that fucks with his money and future plans.

He wants his punishment like a kid who can’t sleep because he knows it’s coming

Drake is basically Rocky. Win or lose Drake automatically wins because he responded where Jcole bowed out. And the history books will forever show it. Heck drake doesn't even have to win he just has to be able to put up a fight. Also the key to battle rapping is to win the crowd...

Kenbrick still hasn’t responded !!! 😂

Drake’s confidence comes from the ovo team including Akademics and the rest of the internet controlling the narrative and pushing him regardless

I like your point about Drake potentially having wild information about KDot, I never considered that as a possibility because I consider Kendrick as the better lyricist, but that goes out the window if Drake has info that’ll change how we view Kdot. Kendrick admits to cheating on his wife, he talks about it extensively on Mr.Morale. Drake could have encountered this person and received some damning information on Kenny. If this is the case, I understand why Drake would feel so confident in this battle, if he strategically uses that information he could potentially do some damage to Kenny’s credibility. I don’t think people will stop listening to Kendrick, but the music might not hit the same.

The Heart part 6 finna go crazy

Nah. Drake is just using social media to sway public opinion his way, cause bar for bar he can’t compete

Drake has been planting the seeds of this beef he sneak disses people on every project 😂😂its not like he is the victim here

He’s an actor

Kendrick taking his sweet ass time with his disstrack on drake 🙄

Naruto vs Sasuke heating up. Bro reanimated Hashirama and Hiruzen to urge Naruto to fight back.

im pretty sure drake realizes money and fame isnt gonna get him out of this one. From his lying about kendricks ai track and the social media games. He seems to be trying to preemptively downplay the impact of kendricks diss. He cannot compete if kendrick comes from a cultrual impact/personal level.

You worried about the weekend? Tf he gon do? Kill drake with a melody?

Cause he’s the goat. He gonna win in the end cause he’s the main character of this hip hop/rap shit and it’s been that way for over a decade

Kendrick still at no1 on the charts going for a record, why would he knock himself off?

Why shouldn't he be confident? What else is there for him to do?

My question is what can drake say about kendrick that kendrick hasn't said about himself? Kendrick has had a full character arc with his discography, proven his authenticity, so any diss against him will fall short, I feel like.

Someone said Drake better keep the same energy when Kendrick drops. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if he does. It’ll be a good battle if he does keep the same energy.

Man said like or your mom doesn't love you 😂

Bro I’m gonna be so tight when you blow up Lol. keep it up. Your videos are becoming a must watch.

As much as we respect Kendrick Lamar as a generational talent. He has not been tested in rap beef, whereas Drake is a veteran when it comes to rap beef. I'm not saying that Drake is going to win the beef, but he is in more familar ground than Kendrick. Kendrick's power has always been to sparse, effective and mysterious so it creates the arousal and support for him, whereas Drake relies on consistent presence to show that he is worthy of the being the best.

What's strange about standing tall in a rap beef. You want him to cry & run away or something ? Swear y'all kids just say anything lol

DRAKE THE GOAT

Bro meat riding Kendrick fr😭 Drake not scared bro, he ready to compete, and nothing Kendrick can say will ever ruin peoples love for drake, it’s just a win win for Drake

Or … or hear me out … it’s all a front for social media … why would I show fear ? If I’m anyone … I’m not letting anyone know i respect my opponent because I’m trying to win … public perception… never show fear or weakness

Great video! But I’m here to talk about YOU. I hope to see you on the largest media platforms, red carpets, and events someday. Your content is constantly enjoyable. Thanks for what you do. 🙏 Also, why aren’t you pay anymore?

Drake owns a lot of the new industry that signs

How have you not responded to Euphoria yet 😮‍💨

Drake probably has some dirt on kdot . Now Kendrick is the underdog. But he can use this in his favor imo.

Even back in like 2013 what Drake was saying was “if it’s real, let it be real”. Whether you believe he should be or not, I don’t think Drake has ever been worried about Kendrick. I think he always wanted him to drop so he could go. I think the combination of the Like That verse, the whole We Don’t Trust You album and all the other stuff made him just say fuck it and jump out the window. He dropped two, already referenced a 3rd and told everybody else they gettin it too. He certainly is confident, and I think he’s building momentum with this new one, still begging Kendrick to drop.

Metro is a thorn in drake side he threw out the reference tracks.

Drake did some clever shit. I’m not too pissed about the AI bc it’s kind of creative use of it but practically everything Drake said in that song could be flipped against Drake himself besides “I sell more music than you”

Drake push ups is below mid. Who ever think it’s GOAT level is delusional. Rick Ross exposing Drake for having a BBL is more hilarious 🤣

If Ak was my cheerleader and my fanbase moved like swifties I’d probably feel untouchable too😂

I appreciate the UFC references 😭😭🙌🏾 CHAMA 🗿

He's been super confident

Whose to say Kendrick isn’t as well, hell the fact he’s maintained a deafening silence throughout the circus Drake is conducting speaks volumes for me, and in his response he could very well reveal or suggest what Drake considers his trump card, Kendrick is a dangerous opponent he will reveal a lot of his own flaws before anyone else can, as we heard throughout Mr.Morale. So my money is still on Dot 100% , Drake is just much more savvy on social media, however a powerful song and compelling performance can cut through the noise

We need a update and 5:38 I agree with you but I feel like is a drake is showing off how smart he is

wtf was he thinking?

Bro if Nav steps in... It will be nuclear 😂

Pride came before the massive L

Rocky the only one he didn't respond to they way more personal than anybody else talking Abt his wife reckless

he already responded with a new song

You shoud hit Fantano up for a debate perhaps?

i love you pay

Drake just knows his stans.. to them anything that glitters is gold and the more he puts on the more they'll automatically act like he already won

i grow more confident with him everyday we hear radio silence from kendrick, kendrick never was a battle rapper or a diss rapper ever... he does projects with main idea

Hes coming off as desperate and corny to me. He finally dropped the song good for him

Ever since Cole Aplogized Drake has been on 10!

Why would drake be scared and not confident? He’s literally bigger than every artist he’s dissing. You highlighted how high profile everyone he’s beefing with is, but they are all below him

Kendrick taking his time Got me thinking he working on shit we ain’t never heard of like a Diss album or som😂
