I love rap and hip-hop music. I was following this beef in real time. But I am also white. And shit if this isn’t one of the funniest and one of my favorite comedy sets. Rewatching again 😂

drake yall daddy

Hi Friends,

This week I wanted to share my thoughts on the Kendrick and Drake beef, some of the backstory leading up to it and the overall fallout. Ever since Kendrick released his "Like That" verse the world has been on fire with talk about how each rapper mentioned would respond. J.Cole and Drake definitely took different routes and hip hop has been the talk of pop culture since the back and forth started.

😂

Way more people have had problems with Drake since his career started than most know. He's actually been in conflicts with Common, Pharrell, and Diddy. Some have come back up in this beef with Kendrick but new ones have popped up like with Rick Ross, The Weeknd, Asap Rocky, Metro Boomin, Future, and Kanye.

If everyone you've ever worked with or looked up to eventually hates you you have to wonder if you're not the problem. Kendrick has released 4 diss tracks that span old school hip hop, funk, jazz, and an eclectic mix of beats. No matter who you were rooting for going in to this there is no doubt that fans have walked away with a different impression of both rappers.

"He's a good writer"
Well that aged poorly with Shabang being a thing.

I feel like it's intentional he stops to explain who everyone else was except Pusha T 😂🧐

Thank you for your explanation

This didn't age well. Y'all thought drake was done but he's the no 1 artist 2025 with 3 albums in one day and breaking every hip hop and rap record in history including Michael Jacksons to become the highest selling artist in history.

I don’t remember how I found your channel exactly, but I will forever remember the first video I saw of yours (Kendrick v Drake explained to white people in 27 minutes from May 2024). You instantly became a weekly highlight for me and my wife, and later my kids as well, in an otherwise sometimes intolerable world. We have since seen you live twice (still super impressed that you do the meet and greet afterwards) and all I can say is that you absolutely deserve all the recognition that you are getting. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. Keep up the good work!

@KyleHead

a decent explainer, but not sure why people kept laughing at random intervals

@joshk3939

😂 this sits up there with the "Juicy Smollet," jokes. He did so well on this

I can both see your point that drake didnt take being called out that well, and i grew up with hip hop and love the idea of battling as a sport. But also there’s a difference between dissing someone for sport in a freestyle cypher or a bboy battle, vs putting out a record that people play over and over and over. i’m someone that admires loyalty and i respect people that put me on and stuck with me. Kinda like the 50, Em, Dre vibes. Theres so many people you can throw shade at and unless there was other beef at that time, why would you want to put someone on blast with no reason. It might be like if 50 took a shot at Em early on for no reason. Just some potential short sightedness. But i think it all depends on who took the first shot between the two of them.

None of these guys better say anything bad about Eminem. That 💩 is career ending or in other words…..suicide. 🥴

Eminem will snatch your whole families heart out. You don’t want that smoke. 😂

27min…?!?

It’s Tupac vs Biggie but instead of one being closeted and a better rapper, this time the gay one isn’t good.

@MachtPlays

22:57 I have listened diligently for 23 minutes and nothing has been explained its just a series of 'oofs' and uh oh. Like explain your feelings. Or someone on the internet break it down for me

@SparePartz77

I dont get the Pusha T part still? Can someone help me out

With all respect to Josh, I'm not prepared to spend half an hour of my life on real-life soap opera with some rhymes

In 2024 we watched Kendrick murder a man’s soul while being on the opposite coast. RIP Drake hard image.

@reginaldshort8486
@

i only listened to so much Before i done grew up that's a good af take lol

@cocohirsch9957
@

as a white person who always understood what the beef was about because I love rap, this is actually really useful for my mayo friends who don't lol

@whatcanthearyou6443
@

It's so hard to believe this entire thing was 2 YEARS AGO!! It feels like it was only a few months ago and I wasn't even a hiphop fan before this!! I was a kpop fan at the time but it was such a big thing in pop culture! this whole thing was my introduction into listening to hiphop 😭

(btw, if anyone sees this and has recommendations for new listeners, pls gimme some. rn i have 2pac, biggie, em, future, kendrick, cardi b, snoop, dre, 50 cent)

@Mouna_n23

Okay. White person here. Even after your explanation I still don't get it. But why do you think I might care to have it explained?

@anonymustly7818

He's so funny. This set reminds me of how me and my Dad tell stories
We add every detail and would be 3 sentences for the rest of the world, me and my dad would talk for hours telling one story. 9/16/1950 my Daddy passed away so I liked this set extra cause it had me remembering my Daddy. Thanks and God bless you
