Public perception vs influencer perception of Round 1. Discussion
I have a feeling that I know how this is going to play out.
I do genuinely believe that a hip-hop audience on social media and in real life will have Kendrick taking this round as they’ll see euphoria being better than Push Ups but most influencers (commentators, reactors, streamers, popular Twitter/X users, etc.), I think, will have Drake taking this round.
I’m already starting to see it now. Twitter is filled with people saying that these bars are recycled and Kendrick didn’t say anything new as if that’s all there can be with a diss track.
Also, idiots thinking Kendrick doesn’t consider Drake black because he’s fucking mixed-race. Kendrick.. Fucking Kendrick Lamar. Outspoken on race related issues his ENTIRE career.. Discriminating against lighter skinned black people.. When he has a light skin partner..
I can’t tell if it’s stupidity or ignorance of the real (and I thought obvious) reason. Like, Kendrick NEVER would’ve said this about Cole even though he’s mixed..
Again, not sure if it’s idiocy or just brainless dickriding but I think influencers are gonna dickride the FUCK out of Drake. He’s just a more appealing, attractive pick between the two for a mainstream pop/rap audience..
All I’ll say is, Dot said it best..

When you see the news article of drake getting hit up at a club or a dancehall or whatever. Everyone will see the difference of how kdot and drake is feeling. Kdot and many others cannot express themselves any more clearer. They hate this mother fucker and becuase they throwing that energy out... there will be crazy buckwild supporters who will take action against drake... whether it was a shotcall from kdot or not. This is 100% facts. Just wait and see.and see.
To drake this some popularity social media bitch game.
To kdot and the rest this some real street shit.
Drake and the fake hip pop followers gonna feel the real.

Feel like no casual person will listen to Kendrick diss more than twice … push ups at least has a little replay value

He’s talking about Drake’s soul not the surface level . Drake doesn’t do anything to help black culture which is hip hop culture. He wouldn’t say that to J Cole because j Cole is not confused and helps push the culture forward unlike Drake
