This should be clear to anyone. Here you are saying: the whole era is weak but I rate Kendrick over Drake (in the land of the blind the one-eyed man. . . ). That is not the same with the post where you are claiming potential GOAT status. That's a walk-back.

The second bolded, that is you stating what I attributed to you. Abi no be your own post?

Again, don't worry with all the side talk of lose beef and emotions. When I need your subjective unsubstantiated opinions, I can ask for them.

That's my way of telling you, there is nothing you will say in this world that can convince me Drake lost. So don't waste your time. I only engaged when you said he sued Kbot or that he was the first to sue a label.

If you want to analyze lyricism, don't you have to know what is expected before it can be analyzed? We can fact-check the lines and their quality since you have said Drake's writing is weak and repetitive. Maybe, you'll explain how what is below is not weak and repetitive.
More long winded filler just like a Drake album.

Nigga I've showed you posts from 8 years ago mirroring the same opinion that I had today which highlights this era is weak.

You said you were a K-dot fan till recently so who's the inconsistent one?

Ol boy I do not care about convincing you on nothing. Just keep bandaging and nursing Drake's bruised ego.

To show your desperation you're bringing a chorus which is typically repetitive to prove repetition grin

You just made my point. The 9 millions swing which is actually a 6% swing (not 10%) is for economic reasons from people who are not politically oriented and just mad at the cost of milk, not a carte blanche to carry out far right agenda.
You do realize there's a group of people called independents, swing voters and neutrals who are not married to any party per se and sway from election to election

We've seen far left agenda and the fallout of it. The people have decided they want something different. Any agenda you wan call am na you sabi. The voters looked at their pockets, they looked at immigration, they looked at all the DEI and woke nonsense and said they've had enough

They saw how Gavin Nyesom is running California to the ground and said they don't want that for the rest of their country

We can both agree that Drake is not missing out on not having you as a fan. So it is not special to tell us you don't like him. That's why I said ab initio, nobody is trying to change anyone's opinions of the other or the beef. I was a K-dot fan until recently so I know most of his music very well. You don't know Drake's music well so stop speaking on it like you do. That's the difference.

By the way, nobody said you're not a fan of Kendrick. You are clearly trying to now come off as he is the best of a bad bunch when you were projecting Rushmore status on him before. We can see it.
This your cry don too much mehn kilode. Emotional just like Drake. You said I stopped fvckin with Drake cos he wasn't cool with Jay Z no more

I showed you receipts that I never really liked Drake and his bubble gum music that's mundane and repetitive, now you're going on another wild tangent. I don't know Drake's music well? That's your opinion, that I care nothing about

Relax. He's not the first to lose a rap beef neither will he be the last

Why feel the need to tell us how mixed your feelings are about an era of rap that has Kdot in? Almost like you don't want the stench of the terrible SP performance to stain your white. We can all see it. You ain't fooling no one bruh.
A40:
Lol Drake for me is not even top 20. He makes good music but men I've listened to far too many hip hop classics to rate Drake anywhere close to top 5. The only guy in this generation I believe has the potential to get there is Kendrick Lamar. Maybe J.Cole too but Kendrick is the complete package

Drake does not have any pure hip hop classic album that I know of which is a complete no-no for anyone who wants to belong in that hallowed bracket.
In the end no two eras are alike but it's one thing for your competition to be Jigga. PAC. Nas. BIG. Big L. Wu-Tang. Big Daddy Kane. Common. Big Pun. Talib and another thing for your competition to be Migos. Gucci Mane.

Jokes apart Drake is not a better rapper than Foxy Brown. Eve and Lil Kim
Mr Man this is as far back as 2017. I've never been enamored with Drake. So stop chatting confidently about things you don't know about

Messed with the music initially but over time it became too weak and watered down

So because K-dot belongs to this era I can't say it's weak? Are you hearing yourself.

As you can see I've always been a K-dot guy. So hopefully you can rest now

I understand where you are right now. You even back-pedaled on being a Kbot fan and pivoted on mansplaining that your hate for Drake is because he isn't cool with Pedophile Jigga no more. That's cope bro.

Stop scrambling about who got sued. It was UMG. The same people who struck down the set of the performance when it leaked. Everyone who watched Akademiks or Suonosphere already knew the entire pre-recorded moment that you tried to harp on. It means so much to you people that Pedophilia be celebrated as entertainment so that Dre and Jigga won't be afraid of joining their bestie, Diddy.

Of course, nothing concern you and Drake apart from all the lies I had to destroy here. After lies, the next move is all the subjective nonsense about his music. You're not going to convince anyone that the artist whose work is more valued than 70's-90's music put together is wack. Just like citing Serena does not make your argument any less terrible than it was when it was originally on Twitter. LOL.

Drake don chop SZA and Serena clean mouth. Even chop Jack Dorsey's own too join. Chop J-lo. Chop Rihanna sef. But K-dot rapped "we hate the bitches you've bleeped" and the fringe Opps wey like love-vendor-C and what not celebrated it as barssssssss.

Then Kbot brought 2 of those on the SP stage. Talk about Coping on a kentro level.

Kbot told people to switch the TV off at the end of his performance. The consensus is, that's what he should have started with. #BotLikeUs

We are not Muslims. We do not #AllowWackBars.
I backpedaled on being a Kendrick fan? Put the keyboard down man. I've always considered him the best of this generation

Resist the urge to salaye my guy. All this thesis doesn't undo Drake's L and public disgrace

That's the problem with snotty leftists. You people are in your own little bubble. As if inflation is the only reason he won

So everybody that disagrees with the transparent BS that has gone on in the past 4 years have been sucked into far right rhetoric.

77 million people are all far right wingers according to you.

I think it's rather arrogant to hold this view rather than ask where the 6million people that 'voted' for Joe Biden go.

Trump got 3 million more votes, Kamala that was on the Biden ticket got 6 million less. Why? Ohh wait. They've all been suckered into far right reh reh reh. Yeah whatever undecided

Don't worry about the rest of your screed. You can't convince anyone that Drake sucks. Kendrick just showed the world he is an absolute bust. The worst ever half time show in Superbowl history. I did not have to make up stories and change topic each time I'm caught in one lie.

4 Drake songs went Diamond today by the way.

Hold your "L" and never argue Drake publicly again.

For a Kendrick fan to say this means that shït was àss

2nd and 3rd paragraph is you distancing yourself from that wack GNX album

Kendrick just a fraud. I'm not a fan of Drake but I hate those who fraud on the premise of being real lyrical Hip-hop when they actually very wack.
Most rappers are not good on stage performers by default. I'm not a Stan. I'm objective and call things through the middle.

Every year people always claim the halftime show performance was wack. They did it with Rihanna and they did it with Usher so nothing new there

However only unrepentant Drake stans or people just uncomfortable with blackity black symbols will deny that Kendrick ended the performance on a strong note

I rank GKMC, Section 80,TPAB over GNX so that's neither here nor there.

However GNX is still better than all the trash Drake has been dropping since Views. And I think I've been very vocal here about rap in general being watered down.

Just because I can't stand this era of rap as a whole don't mean I don't rate Kendrick over Drake's bubble gum weak music with trash beats and weak storylines. I only enjoy the Jay features where Jay comes and rinses him on his tracks like Light Up, Talk Up, Pound cake.

Since he stopped fvckin with Jay I don't really care much for his music

we are all drake fans I guess the only reason he's relevant is because of the beef grin.
Likely Drake stans. He has a lot of stans, you think they're all going to turn their backs cos he lost a beef?

Kendrick didn't start well I would admit that but got much much better as the performance progressed. I'd score it a strong 7 anyone arguing otherwise is purely hating

Anyway hopefully both parties can move on. I'm not really crazy about this era of rap. I grew up on East coast mafioso rap, 2short pimpin music, G-funk, It's Dark and Hell is hot grimy era.

Question for the house

I think Wemby will do well to pattern his game after Dirk Nowitzki. Similar body build with a flair for perimeter shooting but mix it up with a good midrange jumper.
I don't think Wemby will ever morph into a paint bruiser like shaq. He doesn't have that physique or dog in him. grin

That reminds me.

Dirk Vs Durant
If Durant was to retire today.
Who do your rank higher all time in terms of having a better career .
You make a good point. But he can model his game a little after Jokic. Take less 3's and post up more. Of course when the 3 is there you can take it. But when you start taking more 3s than prime Klay we have to ask what exactly is your strategy

I take Dirk over Durant every day of the week. What he did in 2011 KD has never come close to accomplishing. He took two teams to the NBA finals with no All star, in the damn Western conference

That run in 2011. Beat the Lakers off a back to back then beat KD, Westbrook and Harden, then prime Bron, Bosh and Wade with Jason Terry ffs. That ring na like 2 or 3 for my eye

In Anambra State, Nteje, some parts of Umuleri, and I think Dunukofia. I think in Dunukofia or somewhere in Anambra state, burial ceremony can last for 3 days where people eat and drink for 3 consecutive days.

My friend who's maternal grandma from Nteje died in 2018 aged 98 years was billed 5 cows cos she was the oldest person in the whole of Nteje prior to her death. The whole family couldn't afford her burial ceremony and now her oldest son has passed few weeks ago and he is also well aged. According to culture, they can't perform burial rites for the man unless his mom's own is fully observed. If they decide to perform rites for both now, they should be looking at 8 cows minimum.

Twitter fall-outs unfortunately don't equate to facts. Drake released 3 free singles via a burner IG account called plottttwist. All with zero promo and not even through his official account. All had millions of views in days which prompted UMG to get them struck out so they'll be on DSP - streaming basically. They all have 100ms of streams as we speak - no promotion. "No Face", "Circadian Rhythm" had significantly more views on IG than Spotify for e.g and Drake used that as additional evidence that Spotify were colluding with UMG to stymie his streaming numbers. Since the lawsuit, all Drake's songs are streaming at outrageous rates. Some 2011 albums are re-charting. "9" from Views is the most streamed TikTok song of 2025. Drake already has the most streams of any rapper in 2025 - AGAIN. He was number 1, 11 out of 12 months in 2024. I can go on and on. Truly, you don't want this debate with me. I mean it.

Do you remember I said I have avoided conversations about Drake generally because I have to start by correcting lies before providing facts? I'll give you a chance to re-research the factual statement I made about Drake and the Superbowl before I post the evidence. You usually get your Drake talking points off Twitter - you should read the responses to see that what you have above is twaddle. Elliott Wilson and Akademiks that you referred to the other day, have something to say.

FYI - be mindful when you post stuff from Twitter. I said it again, too many spastics with half truths lead to bad arguments. That screenshot says RocNation never offered Drake the Superbowl since they signed the selection deal with the NFL.

Pray tell, when did RocNation sign that contract and who said Drake was not offered that before RocNation signed that contract?

Keep your Grammy and Superbowl arguments in the same folder. You don't know the Drake you're arguing against. Drake has more number 1's than Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift. I told you Musical execs will rather have his catalog than all the 70's to 90's music where Prince released most of his stuff.

De play.
I'm watching your guy get cooked and cremated rn. Wetin consign me if he wants to go back to releasing weak ass songs like sound cloud rapper. That Circadian rhythm is 2 minutes of trash that only Drake stans felt granted they're are a lot of them

That's the nail to their coffin. They'll have to argue that actively working against your number 1 money maker was your expression of free speech. LOL.

It's not simply about Economics as you see it, it's about winning hearts and minds for those US products and beneficial US policies.
And the money USAID spends has a multiplier effect and propaganda effect.


This is a pic I took years back. My cousin usually has an end of year party in his compound in the East. This is a pic of a child dancing to the DJ that was set up outside the compound. I thought the jacket was so interesting. Took a picture and talked to them about the jacket. Local children, never been to the US nor have their parents. Parents bought the jacket at the market.
Let's leave outside the immediate good the money does. How much more likely do you think that child will grow up to like US products or be supportive of US policies or if he is a brilliant inventor want to immigrate to the US?

You're thinking of this stuff in a purely short term way. When we are losing long term benefits because of people being unable to see beyond this second.
Winning what hearts? You cannot win over the entitled. The reactions I have been seeing in light of this withdrawal smacks of entitlement. Nigerians and a lot of these countries now have an entitlement state of mind and now see this benevolence as their right. The same way illegal immigrants see the US as their right. China, Russia, Japan you don't flaunt your right to enter these places illegally like the US

Who dem born well to protest with Mexico or Palestine flag for Moscow. If Putin no trowey you from window or send you go Siberia make I know wetin cause am

There's none of these policies and nothing about the USAID that serves the needs of the American people right now. There are zero long term benefits. Takers have no limits so a giver must set them

The US gets lots of things in return more than they give. Imagine the illegal drilling in Syria, Iraq, etc and other illegal mining from those other countries they send aids to.

Should we talk about their interests in some countries too?

Remove the aids and these guys will move to the highest bidder. Remember, China and some other countries are lurking around to get these new partners if the US fails.

The net product of this action is that the US will be at a loss, they will lose more ground while their counterparts will gain more.
