If you could put them together, you would have one conflicted ass human being.
Kendrick raps. Drake shades.
Kendrick is self righteous. Drake is self conscious.
Kendrick leads with blackness. He also uses it as a weapon and deploys tropes as the fatalities to his Moral Kombat.
Drake patronizes the thought of blackness being more than social and artistic supremacy. He takes our ascension as a foregone conclusion instead of the precious jewel that gets passed around by the forty thieves.
Kendrick doesn't say much, so when he speaks, we all listen.
Drake done turned to the courts and is letting the lawyers do the talking for him.
Kendrick had the song of 2024... he also ruined the song of 2024 because Family Matters is a BOP, but it will never get its just due.
Drake did the same thing to Meek Mill, except Meek did not drop anything worth lamenting. Oh, the one sided nature of that battle.
I must say, I was ready to pronounce black culture dead after the Jake Paul/Mike Tyson fight (black culture dies every 12 years. It respawns itself as soon as somebody who is caucasian steals something from it. So basically, black culture is in a perpetual life cycle.)
