    Yes but that is exactly what I meant (and I think Enigma too). Its not saying 'poor drake people are against him' but the way people viewed him already got him in disadvantage no matter how he would have responded -or not-

    And that is mostly his own doing sure.

    Is there a single woman that has launched grooming accusations at Drake? From my knowledge, there's none. People are reading into his interactions with other young female celebrities & making assumptions. That's not evidence that he's f---ing grade schoolers bro lol.

    Also, wasn't Kendrick accused of assaulting a woman in Vegas years ago? lol this has less to do with believability & more to do with folks just not liking Drake the person/persona.

    It's not pearl clutching it's that Drake is r-----ed and should have recognized his place in the beef and moved in a way that wouldn't garner a negative response, he's been trying to play to the crowd the whole time and it backfired.

    Lie or not it's smart of Kendrick to use the sex pest angle on Drake cause it's how he's been perceived for years now to people that pay attention, bringing up Baka and talking about how he associates with people that have those kinds of cases is a good play (it being public in this instance doesn't matter because what's said is true).

    Kendrick has been accused of abuse before and it is genuinely f----- and he also deserves heat for that if it's true but again just looking at it from the perspective of beef I can understand that Drake thought it would damage Kendrick and it probably would have if he let Family Matters sit for more than 20mins.

    Also kinda hard to give the benefit of the doubt to a man in his 30s texting 14 year olds

    Absent of Kendrick completely floundering this whole beef, Drake was never going to win over the Hip-Hop community lol. No matter what he did, what angle he took.

    Hence why people disregarded the domestic violence allegations & harped on the pedo s--- lol. Kendrick is just more liked within hip-hop.

    I agree here. Drake brought up the R. Kelly s--- on the Heart Pt. 6 but the way he did it was kind of lack luster imo.

    Also keep in mind that if people really cared about domestic violence in hip-hop half of the industry would be gone as unfortunate as it is

    He could have done those two things and said putting false allegations on people is what got Kendricks cousin in trouble and gave Kendrick trauma

    dudes Drake played his cards awfully thats all lol, after Push Ups i really thought he would win. But after that he fumbled it sooooo bad. Stop making damage control on his part, he f----- up big time, and the heart 6 is the biggest example lmao

    exactly, another example of how drake failed trying to make s--- up instead of using real ammo to attack.

    That's a big problem now with Drake's perception. He's gone from popstar to "guy with no critical thought or media literacy" in my brain

    Kendrick was a genius when he waited for Drake to drop FM and dropped the Grahams right after it.

    None of the lines, songs and other stuff either said/did was as smart as that move. Very strategic

    I liked this beef a lot because Kendrick took the words right out of my mouth about Drake. Most of the things Kendrick said are things I thought about Drake way before this beef. “You not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted” sums it up perfectly.

    This feels like the closest to what a Boondocks joke about this woulda been like

    f--- Wendy’s for giving me a mustard burger when all I asked for was a burger with everything on it INCLUDING mustard, not just mustard. This happened months ago and I’m STILL mad about it.
