Transcripts
now after Drake just released two new
songs in the form of features on Camila
Cabello's new album cxo XO I think it's
safe to say that the cycle is now
complete and after an array of weird
songs that displayed to us that Drake is
having an identity crisis he finally
found some sort of footing to stand on
musically at the moment but this is no
longer by being one of the most overly
confident rappers that we have ever seen
like before the Kendrick beef but it's
now by just being a fullon pop star and
after Kendrick Lamar clearly laid out
that he likes Drake with the Melodies
and not when he acts tough on Euphoria
if the embarrassing moments of wagan
deila and Yi everything were not
damaging enough in terms of cementing
dr's defeat and just showing the world
how quickly the wrath of Kendrick Lamar
can make somebody go from being as cocky
to as lost as ever this moment will
cement everything because between the
way that Drake has come back outside in
preparation for these new tracks to
ultimately how they will end up being
his biggest moments in this post beef
era of his career and solidify his
reputation in this current moment all in
all in a time where Kendrick Lamar is
having another Victory lap off the
momentum of his pop out concert and not
like us video shoot this moment for
Drake while despite making more noise
for him than anything else has it's not
necessarily helping his case now before
we can get into these new tracks from
Drake and what they are doing on impact
we need to quickly look at how Drake has
responded to Kendrick Lamar's pop out
concert which did immortalize that
Kendrick is the clear winner of this
beef as the entire rap game celebrated
him like few other rappers ever have
been while they can still smell their
flowers and when it comes to how Drake
has responded it's clear that this
massive moment struck a nerve with him
because from the cryptic story post that
have been trying to create some sort of
Buzz around his name despite the barrage
of rappers we just found out absolutely
despise him it's clear that with weird
story post after weird story post Drake
has been trying to get any sort of point
on the board that he can through any
means possible right now and even
further than just some of the cringey
Selfies and random pictures that are
hinting at something what really turned
a lot of eyes was when Drake voted on a
poll this week about which diss tracks
were the best during the feud between
him and Kendrick and according to the
user's poll who was called the good rap
page which shout out to him Drake voted
for not like us but beyond Drake
actually admitting defeat on an
Instagram poll at the end of the day
what matters most and what will be
judged the most importantly is what goes
on behind the microphone so with these
two new songs after a period where
Kendrick Lamar just United would feels
like the entire genre behind him and
everything he has stood for this year in
hip-hop how does Drake respond does he
show that despite what feels like a
genre and reputation that is collapsing
more and more with every single moment
that he is still not going to go down
without a fight or does he only manage
to let everything continue to crumble on
him even more and in typical Drake
fashion in this era you probably guessed
it he is only further destroying his
credibility within the hip-hop space
because this song is just proving that
Everything Kendrick Lamar did against
him worked and he really got Drake to
step out of the hip-hop space as a whole
for the time being and now if Drake
maybe came with a melodically driven hit
song that was as infectious as something
like one dance maybe the conversation
could start to shift and Drake could
really set the precedent that despite
getting a lost handed to him he can
still release undeniable hits that you
cannot deny their greatness both of
these tracks fall short of any of these
expectations and in all honesty these
songs aren't just a Miss but they sound
like cuts that are serving as a direct
extension from Drake's most polarizing
and Pand album which was of course
honestly never mind so with the major
song in this Bunch which is titled hot
Uptown this is the cut that was designed
to be the massive hit with Drake and
Camila Cabello going back and forth over
an uptempo dance beat and well in a
vacuum this is a decent track that you
can throw on and it will definitely give
you some good vibes this song offers
absolutely nothing at all that called
genuinely special and just gets by from
doing the absolute bare minimum and
playing to the most simple of
conventions when it comes to what makes
a palatable song to throw on the radio a
speaker or in a clothing store and if
this is the bar then great Drake
succeeded but if this song is trying to
be a statement and even an answer back
to Kendrick Lamar's not like us which
has become the song of the summer at
this point and if this track is trying
to remind us not just to Greater
audiences but to the entire hip-hop
Community as especially that Drake
really is this undeniable force that
should be in the conversation with
somebody like Kendrick at all unless we
determin Greatness by whose music would
play the best at Target this song fails
on all fronts and with the other cut
ugly this is nothing but an interlude
from Drake which just features his
whining singing which has him talking
about the same old Tire topics about how
he loves a girl she doesn't love him
back and that it is making this almost
40-year-old man sad that he can't find
something within these superficial
relationships and again with this being
the best that you have to offer at this
moment in time especially after you were
just called out for being so immature
despite your age it really just proves
that Kendrick never has to do anything
in this beef again if he does not want
to and that he needs to be dismissed
from the conversation about what is
going on with Drake as a whole right now
because Drake is bringing all of these
problems onto himself as he is trying to
get away with the absolute bare minimum
and is moving in directions that are
only further validating the biggest
disses that Kendrick threw his way when
we look at it from this angle in all
honesty it's a perfect fit that Drake
decided to drop off not one but two
features on this very album because just
like Chamilia Cabello Drake is an artist
who is trying to desperately search for
an identity at the moment and both are
just failing to capture any of the magic
that their older music had to their
respective audiences as they step
further and further away from what made
them special in the first place and now
while this is only further dampering
Drake's abysmal musical batting average
this year with a few songs that just
sound like a step up from the just
laughable majority of cuts on honestly
never mind the timing of a song coming
out like this right now is horrible and
the Optics of it all is just terrible
because after Kendrick Lamar showed off
that he is the sheer embodiment of Hip
Hop as he brought unification into the
genre like few other rappers Ever Had
Drake is running away from rap as a
whole and is now just hopping on generic
Trends with pop artists I mean when we
look at all of this in conjunction with
each passing week moments like these are
only making Kendrick's words age better
and better and are really turning a song
like Euphoria into this Immortal piece
of music that Beyond being one of the
best rapping displays the genre has seen
in a very long time served as this
breakdown of Drake that's only seeming
to foreshadow more and more of his
failures in ways that we have never seen
before now what I honestly think is most
interesting about this entire song is
what it represents for the direction
Drake is going to be going in for the
rest of this summer because with the way
he has been moving online to the way
it's so clear that he's still trying to
fight back with Kendrick in his own sad
ways I think it's inevitable that he
will only release more new music from
here but I think these songs are proof
that at least Drake is going to be
staying away from rap for some time and
with everything he has been leaning into
I'm going to make a prediction that we
are going to end up getting another
project like Drake's honestly never mind
and maybe even a full-fledged sequel
which his entire purpose will be to
shift the entire narrative around him in
this moment and give people those summer
Vibes that may help them forget about
how scathing not like us is but if this
project is anything like these songs I
don't think this or really any project
from Drake will do anything right now to
help him and while if he was smart he
would have just went into hiding it's
clear that this spiraling individual who
can not stay out of the Limelight
because his whole worth seems to be
based off Optics and the impressions of
others will only continue to risk
hurting his reputation more and more
instead of taking time to do the one
thing that may just help him out in the
long run sitting down and reflecting so
let me know what do you think of these
new records in the NeverEnding downfall
of Drake and how do you think they
compare to everything he's been up to
and do you think they help him any bit I
can't wait to hear what you have to say
and if you want to see how Kendrick
Lamar just saved West Coast hip hop
