It’s crazy out here lol

Ion know why people think you glazing, you giving both sides, keep it up mane.

Love the rapid breakdowns. Keep up the great work

This overall battle doesn’t reflect the quality of bars or performance we’re known to love & cherish in Hip-Hop

That’s crazy one of my homies on Facebook today said Drake is trying the 8 Mile effect to take the sting out of KDots response

This battle has felt very inorganic compared to past battles imo. With Cole apologizing, Drake "leaking" his diss and all the AI talk, it's put Kendrick in a strange position I'm sure but I still think he's gonna show up with something no one is expecting. I'm excited to see the end game of it all regardless! 🔥🔥🔥

Ngl. I fw these breakdowns heavy. Keep the content up family

I think it was a clever way of using AI. But eventually this AI shit will probably do more harm than good overall.

Rob 🙏🏾continues to deliver Hip Hop journalism from an unbiased and high level. Thank You

appreciate the quick breakdowns Rob! 🫡

This been my favorite KZfaq channel for a few weeks now. True Hip Hop scholar!

Damn Rob really laughed off Cole and Ross verse 🤦🏾‍♂️

These videos are all for the love of Hip Hop. Keep up the good work brother. Simple breakdowns with unbiased yet educated opinion. True student of the game. Salute

Looking forward to this! Especially after your AI video yesterday.

it’s almost liked you sensed it yesterday Rob, great breakdown as usual

This is my favorite new channel please keep it up great work 💪🏾

8 mile on liking younger girls weird for me

Using Ai and chatgpt for a battle is truly the end of of hip hop.

I watched your interview with kendrick alot of times during that TPAB Era,straight classic forreal. Im glad to see you still doing it and now on your own. Definitely got my full support cause you're always genuine with it. That hilfiger shirt is dope

This what I been waiting for

Been waiting on this. Quickly becoming my favourite KZfaq channel 🙌

I was waiting for this bro.

I would love it if Dot went up to radio and aired Drake out on some old school shit, then put that out on DSP’s

I think Drakes use of AI is clever and big trolling lol. He played around with it on the DSP version of Push Ups when he made his voice sound like future at the end of the song. I’m also skeptical about AI, but it is creative for sure.

I'm from Compton born and raised and I don't know Kenderick personally but I do know some of the niggas he was hanging with. And from what I know he really street certified. I'm proud of him though. Coming from where we come from young niggas don't make it out alive, now he in the conversation for one of the best in the game. Drake is applying pressure but he's going to take an L on this one in the end. Kenderick is way deeper lyrically. This a dope channel by the way!

Got excited for another breakdown when he released last night lol

I see what Drake was trying to do, and he made another move. Kendrick needs to respond & he will. Yet, how can Drake call DOT an industry puppet when Drake is the corporate powerhouse cash cow🤔? I like Drake songs i really do, yet Kendrick is the better lyricist, without a question on his pen🖊. Drake can win with corporate/mainstream, and Kendrick would win in true hip hop. They both come from different worlds.

Saying he not dropping because of Taylor to later on say he moved his album cause of taylor is crazy

Sorry this 8mile narrative is trash. You mean to tell me if Drake is an alleged abuser then him saying it first takes the sting out of it?!? That's a weird take Bro. R. Kelly should've thought of this!!!!

Very excited for this video

We went from the summer Jam screen to AI 😂😂. Are we old Rob??

Drake just better hope Kendrick doesn’t have a serious diss under his belt because that strategy he’s trying to pull off, just goes all the way out of the window. Kendrick is one of the biggest musicians on the planet, all he needs is one and the perception flips on its head

Kendrick spinned the block once caught a body(J.Cole) The block is hot lay low. And then he’s going to spin again. It’s only one person to kill!

Rob love your channel man, literally look for your video when something drops now…

been following you since you hosted "Taylor Allerdice" keep doing your thing bro these videos are dope. what program are you using for your audio? it sounds good but it can be better (not tryna diss you just tryna help out)

In my opinion Kendrick is on no clock. Drake’s taunting is enough to show that he wants Kendrick to jump in with a rushed record when his internet shenanigans have reached their peak. It’s easier to control the narrative when bots, loyal fans, music articles, memes, podcasters and streamers are portraying you as the winner.

Drake didn’t wait until after tour, he waited until the release of the second album.

I remember Drake was beefing with a guy in Toronto before his fame and he said this line “short dudes tell tall tales don’t make me retire you”. The song is called good riddance. He was going at dudes necks before he blew up.

Great content bro love your videos!

I was waiting for your reaction 😂

Bruh I’m convinced y’all don’t understand how AI works. They didn’t take the human element out of it. Drake wrote and rapped all the verses. He used a voice changer. It’s not what y’all are imagining. This song was fire 🔥

Overall though , when it comes to battling , Drake is def a student of the game

Your personality is the brand moving forward rob - Genius and others will regret what they let go. Brilliant work per usual

A great response Rob

Drake knows what he’s doing , and it’s smart for the fan base he has . For HIP HOP fans ; This is extremely corny . And I believe it’s gonna be his downfall when it’s all said and done . But we’ll see

Hip-Hop is dead if we let this AI slide. Just saying. Rather hear a real person than a rapper with robots. Oh well. Yall letting it slide.

Love the content... 🇿🇦

What Kdot is going to do with his response is that hes going to give you a shock value moment so I’m pretty sure he’s going to take the kontrol route n name drop a bunch of rappers in order to hide the lackluster verses on the song. I wouldn’t be surprised he’ll diss all the legends like jay-z, Nas etc….. to cement his spot as the goat 🐐 just watch

Nah it’d be crazy if Kendrick has Taylor on the intro to his diss track 💀💀💀 also I see people calling this a “genius move” by drake. How? He’s simply trolling Kendrick. They acting like it was such a calculated seal team six mission that involved rocket science. Drake is simply trolling with AI. It’s not that deep 💀 Kendrick has plenty of material for Drake. Can’t wait till Kendrick finally responds. My thing is, Kendrick has so many sounds he can go with. I wonder what he’s gonna choose.

When people bring up drakes response time, it’s missing context. Kendrick dissed on the 1st part of a 2 part album that kept the same theme of “We don’t trust you”. So he waited for the smoke to clear, responding the day after the 2nd part of the album drop. I don’t see it as drake taking 2 - 3 weeks to reply given the circumstances. Good review though overall Brodie keep the momentum going!

After all is said and done I'd love it if you gave us your opinion on who won.

I gotta say…Drake’s approach to this is brilliant…rappin as a dudes uncertain and possibly disappointed heroes is diabolical…he’s repositioning himself as the the one who really don’t care….the bars wasn’t crazy but it’s just a smart play

I was over this when Cole responded and now it's just confirmed when Drake did too. They just put this man in the one spot when they didn't need to say anything. Swing down you already lost.

The Hilfiger rugby is hard 👌🏾

Completely agree with your synopsis and that embodies what Drake was trying to do. Drake is really good at the warm up dis tracks. If that was even a thing before Drake. Good vid bro 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

You've earned yourself a subscriber brother‼️

An artist of Drake’s stature using, hence condoning, using AI in this way is scary.

Can’t neutralize being a weirdo Drake can try to deflect or shape the narrative all he wants I’d still use those angles

Yo Rob I like the UMG convo perspective. Seems hella plausible that it took place and it’s also a big boy move from Drizzy if that’s the case. It’s also hella clever because he dropped Taylor Made on social media, which will get more burn than the “older” record. This shit getting spooky but label games are definitely being played.

Only in 2024 can a rapper rap about painting his nails with impunity 💅🏾. Since Drake is playing 8 Mile games part of my angle would be “just because you admit that you’re a bitch don’t change the fact that it’s true/ just because you show us you like kids don’t change the fact that it’s YOU”. He’s gotta play it like that.

That line about kendrick being a good kid, is a double edged sword where if he claimed a body hed be snitchin on himself end up catchin a case or some shit over a rap beef.

Thanks for covering this. Too many reactors jump out the window on every bar.

“When you take the human aspect out of creating art, it ceases to become art and it’s just a product” WORDDDD!!!!

Drake is giving Dot a whole lot of rope...and it's Drake that's gotta be worried about who's gonna hang.

I don’t get drakes strategy tbh. You’re not just pushing any regular rapper. It’s telling that he’s trying to rush Kendrick because the more rushed the less sting. Drake a creative genius but let’s not act like Kendrick isn’t too. I genuinely believe Drake doesn’t know what angle he gonna come from, no matter what Drake is trying to say. Kendrick knows this too, I think we’re about to hear one of the most disrespectful songs probably ever. That young girl line is still insane to me. Like why would you say that if you think Kendrick doesn’t have anything on you. It’s very telling, I don’t think Drake is scared, but he definitely doesn’t know what to expect that’s for sure even though he’s kinda saying he does. Even 90% of drakes bars can be flipped, they’re funny don’t get me wrong, but not clever enough where you can’t flip them

u can’t use the 8 mile approach to deflate pedophile accusations 😭😭

That meme comparison 🔥🔥🔥

"This hurt KDot....2 in a row"

The behavior Drake is reflective of someone with no cultural investment. Contrary to popular narrative online, I don’t think Kendrick has to feel pressured to respond before he wants to.

So let me get this straight Kendrick did a verse. Just a verse. and the response has been 3 songs and an apology. Seems that Kendrick is controlling the narrative by having Drake shaking. Just my thought

He drops after pivotal moments in time

Kdot probably gonna drop a album along with the diss. Now being independent that makes perfect sense. Great marketing. I hope this theory is true and that would also show why Taylor not wanting him to drop make more sense.

This is a lost one's type beat. "This ain't a diss song, It's just a real song. The kicker is it ain't a real song Bots all over the verse even drake using ChatGPT lets keep it real.

You know what, I appreciate this take. This does close those gaps he left open in push ups. While I don’t care for it, in the context of a battle, he cleaned up in time to make sure that Dot has to be precise, just wondering now if he brought a new challenger using Snoop’s voice. Not against AI, but if you’re going to use it and claim to be a student of the game, at least get their flow deliveries right.

I anticipate that kendrick has a new project and his first single will be a response kind of like Humble but more direct

Drake seems scared... He seems like he is panicking

This summer will be extra hot. The bars in mainstream will be back. I got my lawn chair ready.

Album full of disses coming soon ..stay tuned !

Drake getting ahead of Kendrick coming at him for liking young girls is not the flex or smart tactic he thinks it is lol... its just plain weird lol

Rob you wylin with that UMG take lol! Y’all gotta be fair man

Top beneficiary in this beef is Rob Markman, an I love it!!!

Kendrick actually had a REAL NEVER BEFORE heard Pac interview. 💯💯💯 Is leaking a diss song before hand, having Ai on a diss record allowed in Hip Hop NOW? 🤔🤔🤔

Well said

The battle is heating up! yo mark, they finna throw a bag at you to break down all these diss tracks. Like that remix just dropped🫨

My opinion is that this was a bad move for Drake. We don’t want this beef to go to the streets, we all want a lyrical battle. But the West might feel disrespectful due to the Pac and Snoop AI. Those guys are Westcoast legends. And when you play with people like that, specially a dead person, some street dudes might take offense. Like, what if the streets ban Drake from going to LA? That would be bad for his business. Imagine him not being able to do shows out there anymore because something might happen. I hope it doesn’t get to the streets but I feel like he’s walking on thin ice. What do you think about this?

drake doesnt have an angle on kendrick. hes nervous.

Hip hop purists are in shambles right now. Yall thought Drake was on top because of the machine.. and it’s because he’s actually a machine.

If we remember Big used his own AI on give me the loot…He just changed his voice but writing from someone else’s perspective has always been in the game

Kdot where you at bruh 😌

I'm neither a Drake nor a Kendrick fan, I find this diss lazy, I also think that Drake pressuring Kendrick to come out says a lot about the quality of the Drake disses, it shows that they are mediocre at best, thinking about it, there's no standout bar in the 2 tracks, in a battle you want standout bars, bars people will remember for years, Drake hasn't delivered that yet and I think this is why his biggest focus is on trying to get Kendrick out and not the quality of the disses, Drop and give me 50 is a catchy song but the disses to Kendrick on the song are weak, same as this new one, these songs will just encourage Kendrick more, I don't think Drake has a lot of fire for Kendrick that's why he needs to sway public opinion desperately.

The beat is a Kendrick Lamar sample btw, Kendrick did a song years ago to that same beat, Drake chopped it and threw pac and snoop on it which is genius 💯💯💯

Ceases to become art and it becomes just a product. Well said!

We bike....imo the use of ai is kinda trash, i dont get why ppl call it creative. like this dude needs Ai and Ghost writers, he's using a lot of gimmicks to try to win this battle

Drake tryna be in his bully. I can respect it. I just think when Dot responds…Drake not gonna wanna rap anymore just like when Pusha responded. Can’t wait ! Preciate you Rob 🤞🏾

Such a power move ,,, what's Dot left to say 😭 if the 3rd one drops before Kendrick responds it's dun!!

Rob markman keep doing these videos.

I’m absolutely salty about this Drake diss… I really thought he had a bomb to drops. Instead I’m getting DaBaby level internet antics….

I love your breakdowns man! I would say though, when it comes to the “being on tour” excuse, the truth is Hip Hop fans have never really given Drake credit as an emcee even before all the ghostwriting controversy. But Meek on the other hand was viewed as a battle rapper and Kendrick as a real emcee and lyricist so no one should reasonably expect Drake to be able to come back with bars quicker than them. Plus in both these cases, Drake was the one responding. He didn’t initiate it so he should actually have time to craft a real response. But if they started it, they should be ready to go. Just my opinion though.

💪🏼

When was the last time you listened to no Vaseline?
