Jun 3, 2022 Still waiting for those so called consequences My urges for revenge are uncontrollable I know we're gettin' older though, yeah But I gotta get a n----- back for that, it's non-negotiable It's not even debatable
Jun 3, 2022 His bootyhole perforated like papier-mâché because Pusher Terrence’s “Duppy” rebuttal was riddled with such scathingly-serrated statements.
Jun 3, 2022 drake was/is too big to fail from something like that at this point but it's a great diss track and had people roasting him like it was 2010 again
Jun 3, 2022 Pusha T literally lost this beef though. DJ AK and others already reported on Drakes kid 6 months before the diss track. That’s not even a good diss when people already know. Only Drake haters were pretending to act shocked. Pusha’s number went way down after this diss and Drake was still topping the carts. Drake basically finished off Pusha T’s career.
Jun 3, 2022 Fair enough I guess. The “you are hiding a child” s--- is dumb and some lame snitch s--- and that is why everyone worships it. The 40 stuff was the most scathing/funny. I think Exodus was a better diss as a whole, TSOA lacks the energy a diss track needs to make it great, it is a pretty boring diss imo.
Jun 3, 2022 tbh I like the slowness of it, it feels very purposeful or "surgical" as he says at the beginning. It's kinda just laying it all out slowly and plainly. I agree the SICK SICK SICK part is def the funniest and meanest, but I also think he really hones in on drake's familial and identity insecurities in a very pointed way. Not even the hiding a child part specifically but kinda the possibility of the repeating cycle of child abandonment. However I agree people overrate it. Especially in terms of damage to Drake's career it didn't do anything and Drake has proven to be a good father. But he was def roasted relentlessly for weeks and it damaged his ego in at a time when people thought he was entirely untouchable, especially considering how easily he laid out meek (a way bigger rapper) a couple years prior. also @dna hits we know akademiks reported on it beforehand but secret celeb children are in the tabloids every day and ak makes a video and breaks his chair every time drake takes a piss. I'd never heard ak report on it because I blocked that chunky dipshit on all platforms cuz I never wanna see any of his terrible posts. But look at google trends and search any combination of "drake child" or "drake kid" or "drake adonis" or whatever and you'll see that no one took it seriously or gave a s--- until push dropped the song. you can go as far back as you want on the timeline and the second highest search trend Is is in 2016 before adonis was even conceived.
Jun 3, 2022 tbh I like Views quite a bit—there's a few complete dogshit songs on there but I really dig the dancehall inspired stuff.
Jun 3, 2022 I can agree with all of this. It’s funny how public perception, and especially now, reaction on the internet as a trending moment in time, can shape how music is viewed especially with a battle. I think Back to Back is an extremely overrated diss too, but it was a moment in time and everything involved in that moment like the sheer catchiness of the song and Meek not responding made it more than it should have been. The same applies to TSOA as you laid out.
Jun 3, 2022 The diss was genius. Honestly, at Drake’s level, even a few years ago, nothing is going to topple him. But the way Pusha exposed his deal with Adidas and “you are hiding a child” and how Drake was going to reveal his child in an apparel/sneaker promo run, that stung Drake. And it ended the deal. The blackface made Drake issue a statement. And then J. Prince got involved. It didn’t end Drake’s career but it did about the most damage someone could do to Drake. Beefs don’t always end careers.
