I know niggas don't want to admit this, but the majority of what Kendrick has released since the beef started musically has been.........overhyped. There's a corny element happening within the "culture" too with people being extra talking about how good or legendary the music actually is.

It feels like a lot of niggas are experiencing an overcorrection right now. They don't like how hip hop has been white washed in the last decade or so and they're fighting a battle for the "culture" and Kendrick is their chosen fighter.

I'm going to be totally honest. Musically, I think a lot of people are fronting when it comes to Kendrick but they have to do that to fight for the "culture"

It's just getting corny. Even from how people in the "culture" are posting and commenting about it on social media, it has the vibe of people fighting to take something back from somebody who they think shouldn't own it.

That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that niggas are forming like Voltron to try and gatekeep the "culture" because they feel like it needs to be taken back but niggas need to take a step back and ask who they are taking it back from.
 
There's so much shit in hip hop culture that does not get addressed properly that I just think it's funny how Kendrick vs Drake is the thing that moves people the most about the culture.............

The math ain't mathing..........

How come you can't just appreciate Drake's music without becoming an emotional cape?

Yes niggas of the culture and from the hood are going to gatekeep

Drake is a Canadian GUEST who has been very disrespectful to certain things throughout his career

people like you fail to see why your side loses.. you keep criticising the winners, this goes for Drake and Kamala

If you haven't noticed we are trying to rid ourselves of phony foreigners. The gatekeeping will continue

Who is taking it back and who are they taking it back from?

It took a Kendrick vs. Drake beef for niggas to finally fight for the "culture"? The same culture that elevated Drake to the top for the last 15 years? Kanye? The way the culture has treated female rappers?

We watched the culture line up and attack Meg on a serious fucking issue and there wasn't a whole lot of fighting for the culture going on then and Tory Lanez is Canadian too, so where was all of the foreigner energy from niggas fighting for the culture then?

Also, this beef in particular was hijacked by corporate media way before this latest album. We now have corporate entities trying to capitalize on the energy posting MUSTARD captions like they aren't the very people that niggas are supposedly taking the culture back from.

I'm not being obtuse. I understand exactly what people are saying when they're talking about taking the culture back. I just want niggas to explain who has it and who are you taking it back from.

Also, who is the hip hop authority because it's very clear to me that hip hop culture lost it's identity a long fucking time ago, so to see niggas using this Kendrick vs. Drake beef as a moment to fight for the culture......looks corny.

The irony of you inserting Kamala here when her campaign was using Not Like Us to once again try and capitalize off of this fight for the culture movement.

So, you think Kamala is on the same side as Drake in all of this?

If you do then you are totally missing the point that I am making about how corny this whole fighting for the culture looks when it's the driving force behind this beef.

What you're seeing is people who hate Drake more than they like Kendrick. So they're going extra hard to try and prove how much they like him and his music by giving it this mythical status. The overcorrection isn't coming from Dot fans it's coming from drake haters

Here's the thing, there's only one side that is fighting for the culture and to be quite honest, they look silly.
