If the beef was only about bars, this would have held water but when you start labelling another man all sort of awful things then this rationale is completely bs. Stay on that side dude

I HATE the Lies. Are they forgetting ALL the media outlets against Drake from PMC Media, Rolling stones, E.T.C.? The Narratives? The Allegations? The nasty YouTubers? What DOES AK (One man) against all have to do with this? Symba is just a failed musician and a pure LIAR.

Akademiks speaks on how Kendrick isn’t really changing the culture and says he made people believe he was this savior when he just wanted to be the #1 guy. Ak says Drake wasn’t a guy claiming he was trying to change anything and says he adopted the current waves, which inadvertently put more people on. Drake is the true embodiment of hiphop while Kendrick is a grifter to sell music.

🚨 Akademiks says “THANK YOU” to Kendrick Lamar for HELPING Drake bounce back after the battle by not keeping his foot on the gas Ak says Kendrick not dropping music and staying active gave Drake room to regain momentum. “After the battle, Kendrick needed to keep his foot on the gas to make it a tough time for Drake in the future. He didn’t.” Ak says “heavy is the head if you’re gonna wear the crown,” arguing Kendrick doesn’t release frequently enough to keep control of the conversation. He says the result makes Drake look “TEFLON” even to people who believe he lost the battle: “As soon as Drake drops the some shit, people love Drake again.”

So this whole ugly beef really started because Kendrick was given the Big 3 moment and he publicly rejected it with “it’s just big me.” Kendrick was just refusing a hierarchy. Now there is rumors of Kendrick being on a J. Cole album with Drake after all this supposed “culture war.” So what was the point of all that division? all that moral grandstanding? I guess it was just about positioning. I believe, the industry needed a counterweight to Drake, someone they can market as the “pure” alternative, and Kendrick was it. Here’s why I think Drizzy should never do a project with Kendrick nearby: When Drake shows up- he brings the world with him-streams, playlists, headlines, and attention. If Drake were on an album with Kendrick, Drake would activate the culture, but the story would become “Kendrick outshined him,” even if Drake made the actual hits. That’s how narratives work. Drake would create the success, and Kendrick would get the credit, just like what happened in the beef. That power trip beef by UMG was all about narrative laundering. So Drake staying away is the smart move. Without Drake, Kendrick has to stand on his music alone, no giant spotlight, no built-in villain, no automatic attention from being next to the biggest star in the genre. Look at that Playboi Carti project: no Drake, no real peak, no lasting impact. And that’s exactly what Kendrick’s team doesn’t want tested, again. At the end of the day, it’s simple: Drake doesn’t need Kendrick to win. Kendrick needs Drake to matter. And that imbalance is what this whole “beef” was really built on. 🦉

When I see Kendrick get the moment he had, I'm just as proud of this dude as I was when I knew him back then. But I also hate that for Drake, and I hate how the world turns on him, man I hope ICEMAN go crazy."
