Anyone got a summary or a quick link? I'm OOTL...
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Two shitty people, one is an alleged pedophile and the other is a stereotype deadbeat father, stir up controversy about each other to gain popularity and sell albums.
drake is a pedo and a deadbeat dad, him and his whole crew are running a sex trafficking ring and he made up shit about Kendrick beating his girl ftfy
the other is a stereotype deadbeat father
Says who?
Wait what when did Kendrick become a deadbeat dad?
notice the clear lack of a "controversy" section on Kendricks wikipedia. Drake is the only shitty person in this rap beef
To add to this. Both parties told all other creators that all music that was made in this dispute would not be subject to copyright claims. So far all claims made from Kendrick’s label have been dropped which has allowed critics to listen freely and even remix and make work from the original work. Drake said the same was going to be the case for what he put out however in typical fashion Ovo/umg has claimed all content that contains any of drakes source material. I’m generally not into this kind of public beef but in basically every regard Kendrick is right and Drake is pretty much the most pure example of everything that is wrong with the music scene today.
They're not both shitty people. The deadbeat and alleged pedo are the same person.
Drake Lemar drama. Say that 10 times fast in a row.
I hope Eminem doesn't get on that drama bs. Might as well watch Bill Gates and bezos have a cat fight in leather gear.
I kind of disagree. What are Drake and Lamar gonna do, go after one of the biggest names in rap? That really went well for MGK 😂
That said, he'd totally be debasing himself for the equivalent of a petty squabble so I also agree lol
Ugh not again, MGK songs are good until he starts singing. Rather not have another two kicked out of the rap scene invading my suggested songs.
Kendrick is one the greatest rappers of all time so if he really wanted to be could easily go toe to toe with Eminem. However, I don’t know why either of them would want to.
Damn they really came for you. Eminem himself has said multiple times that Kendrick is one of the best ever
This guy said something entirely uncontroversial about the only rapper to win a Pulizer prize for his skill in writing and he's being downvoted to the underworld.
Something tells me a lot of Lemmy users either stopped listening to rap a decade ago or skew in a very particular demographic direction
I'm the former. I've never really been big on rap outside of a few artists as 99% of it I can't relate to at all.
The few songs I can relate to and enjoy listening to I get made fun of for listening to by "og" rap lovers.
It sucks when people gatekeep like that. You can like what you like, even if it's not the most critically acclaimed music
Not the guy you responded to... But I don't hate Kendrick. I just think it's weird how people watch these beefs like it's American idol. If I was to pick a side it would be with Kendrick. But I really just think all this shit is stupid. It's apples to oranges. Then again I don't really listen to this type of music. I just don't understand why, if someone is claiming to be a real hip-hop emcee, they would go against drake.... Who is an entertainer.
Beef is lame. Beef is for when you have someone threatening your life, or freedom. Right? Idk anything other than that is just drama?
Tbf I'm ootl on all this. I don't really listen to either... Although I think listened to DNA? A few times.
I just don't understand why, if someone is claiming to be a real hip-hop emcee, they would go against drake.... Who is an entertainer.
Well Drake is the biggest rapper right now and considered to be in the “Big 3” along with Kendrick so it’s not all that surprising Kendrick would diss him. Drake being a fake rapper only adds to that really.
I'm out of touch lol. I probably shouldn't even chime in. I dipped out of radio music when the baking bling era started peaking.
(Not saying that to sound stuck up or hate on emcees... I'm Just very out of touch with that culture.)
Edit: shit... Saying radio music is even outdated.
