Don't give a crap. Move it to the General O/T board.

It’s fun for the Rap game. I wish J Cole didn’t draw back and was in it still

You don't gotta respond if you don't give a crap. There's a Leafs thread that some don't care about either. At least this man has direct connections to the Raptors lol.

Seems like that was a smart move to avoid the stupidity. Just enjoy the rich and fame without having to "keep it street" when you really don't have to.

Fukin multi millionaire children playing child's games what are they going to accomplish with these fake beef petty back and forth insults? Attention which will result in more record sales?

Nothing will actually come of this beef, they're just attention seeking.

So ignorant about raps beefs that I was expecting drake vs Kendrick’s rd 2

This culture is stupid. It's obvious it leads to violence among youth. I work with at risk youth and the ones involved in drug dealing and risk taking behaviours listen to music from this genre. I put one in a confinement space and he told me, he's gonna put a hit out on me and send my head to my mother's house. My supervisor told me it's lyrics from a Drake song. Real story and there was no consequences.

When did Drake become "gangster"? He grew up in a middle class as a child actor? He has real gangsters in the background of his music videos. That screams of an adult making very stupid choices. Drake is rich and purposely creating a bond with the scumbags of society.

The Raptors should axe him from the stupid role they gave him in the first place. I'd rather the Raptors have no culture than that culture.

I don't think two of the biggest names in the music industry are "seeking" any attention, especially Drake.

With that being said, how can anyone possibly complaining?

We're being treated to a LEGENDARY battle between two of the greatest to ever do it.

We're witnessing history right now. Both Drake and Kendrick have been popping off. The fans are getting spoiled right now!

Someone needs to post the obligatory Wale vs Matt video

lol this is just entertainment, they're both winning, with all the attention clicks, and plays for the songs.

Kendrick did make a good point about Drake having a convicted sex trafficker on his payroll. Our team even had Baka perform at halftime during the NBA Finals. Not the best look

It's fake and manufactured beef. Come on guys are you being serious right now... this is just a show.

Let me tell you an odd little story about Drake and the police.

I'm going to say this without giving a ton of details. I was in a Canadian penitentiary mid-2010's. The pen was called Joyceville where everyone gets sent at first to an assessment unit. I had been there for a few weeks, one day, I get called to an office. Toronto police waiting for me, they are hitting me with new charges and needed to take me to court to deal with it. They were all plainclothes police.

So I'm sitting there with a plainclothes police guy. He's doing some paperwork on me before we leave. I guess he got to my address and he asks how long I lived there. I don't really answer and he's like 'yeah. Drake lives s up there.' and I just kind of shrug. He continues: "I spent a lot of time there...following that guy around' and his eyes got real narrow and he started kind of muttering to himself. Make that what you will.

Pfff Nothin. A second hand account? As someone who's been through the court system I'd hope you know that means nothing.

I'm not saying it means anything. I just found it weird. I didn't even want that guy talking to me.

the one good thing is that it results in more records being made. records that are pretty good and otherwise wouldn't exist.

it's fun. just like basketball, it's not meant t be taken seriously.

No complaints.

I'm enjoying the show.

A part of me also does believe this "beef" is plotted. Kendrick has said on numerous occasions that he respects Drake. This is all friendly fire - both guys respect each others talent and craft.

Kendrick is set to drop an album in May, so this is perfecting marketing as well.

Kendrick is literally beating Drake at his own game its crazy the way he seems to be one step ahead while dropping better bars
