Transcripts

00:00

I'm done justifying these videos about

00:02

the Drake and Kendrick beef it's the

00:04

biggest thing happening in popular

00:06

culture and rap culture in music culture

00:09

and for whatever reason many people uh

00:12

like seeing what I have to say about it

00:13

if you're not one of those people if you

00:15

think I could not possibly be qualified

00:17

to talk about this respect to you

00:19

there's so many great places to check

00:21

out commentary uh what I watched dead

00:24

end hip hop they had a pretty good

00:25

review of this song go watch their stuff

00:26

instead no harm on me there are clicks

00:29

to go around there's so many clicks to

00:31

go around but I'm going to try to to add

00:33

something to the I try to add something

00:35

new and the way I'm going to do that is

00:37

is by describing the way that Drake

00:40

succeeded with this song The Heart part

00:42

six the one way the one point he got one

00:46

point in my opinion one touch the the

00:50

title calling it The Heart part six when

00:53

Kendrick is most certainly planning on

00:55

releasing a song called The Heart part

00:56

six in his the heart series preceding

00:59

the release of each of his albums he

01:01

took that good job he did it but then in

01:05

every other metric I think he completely

01:07

failed and I'm going to explain why the

01:10

issue is I think though the way that we

01:13

talk about this is framed wrong because

01:16

the question is who is going to win this

01:19

battle Kendrick is going to win this

01:22

battle but who is going to win the war

01:25

for the soul of Hip

01:27

Hop I think Drake is still going to win

01:30

I don't think it matters that Drake

01:32

can't win this battle I don't what

01:36

Kendrick is trying to do is commit a dra

01:38

otomy remember in a in um half-baked

01:42

Dave Chappelle I need a backiotomy you

01:44

know like he's trying to do a drach

01:45

otomy he's trying to take Drake out of

01:47

the whole picture separate him from his

01:49

fans family collaborators all that stuff

01:52

but I don't think it's going to work as

01:54

I said in the previous video Drake is a

01:56

trumpan likee figure we are just Fanning

01:58

his Flames he is just getting more

02:00

attention and I could be wrong time

02:02

stamp this 2 minutes and 3 seconds in

02:04

this video I'm telling you I'm giving

02:06

you the guarantee no matter how hard

02:08

Drake loses this battle and I think he's

02:10

going to lose it super hard he will have

02:12

a number one album within the next year

02:14

he just will he's just that big he's

02:17

just that popular he's just this good at

02:19

being popular okay so all that being

02:23

said he's still going to lose this

02:25

battle which is the thing that we're

02:26

thinking about and he's going to lose it

02:28

in multiple ways

02:30

these are the three I'm going so goddamn

02:32

internet on you I'm giving you a list a

02:35

list of three reasons that Drake

02:37

completely failed with this song The

02:39

Heart part six and I mean completely

02:41

failed the first one is simple it's all

02:43

defense no attack okay he's just sitting

02:45

in a low block uh hoping to weather the

02:48

storm hoping 90 minutes go by and no

02:49

one's able to score a goal on him he's

02:52

this this is not even a song I mean the

02:54

Beats fine it's like maybe the seventh

02:58

best beat in this whole beef it's kind

03:01

of weak it's kind of repetitive it

03:03

starts off with that Rea Franklin sample

03:05

of you know showing me the proof but

03:06

then it doesn't come

03:08

back basically it's just a a it's like a

03:12

voice note with like some generic beat

03:15

put in behind it and the whole thing is

03:19

just served for him to be delivering

03:21

essentially when I listen to this for

03:23

the first time I just pictured you

03:24

remember the presidential debates uh

03:26

when they used to do those um between

03:28

Clinton and Trump and uh Clinton would

03:30

just say something true and then Trump

03:32

would just go wrong the whole time I

03:35

just feel like this is just Dr listening

03:37

on his headphones to meet the grams and

03:39

just being like

03:40

wrong and that's that's the problem is

03:45

that he's totally on the

03:46

defense but the way that he's a defense

03:49

is actually a little more perhaps I'm

03:52

going to use the p word problematic I'm

03:54

pushing P I'm pushing the word

03:56

problematic I think he's gaslighting now

03:59

listen I don't know the truth I don't

04:01

know the truth of the accusations

04:03

against

04:04

Drake but if I were just observing this

04:06

and this were not such a Charged thing

04:09

as uh being a what did you tell me to

04:12

call it a PDF file downloader is that

04:15

what you told me to call it YouTubers

04:17

YouTube commenters whatever it is

04:19

somebody who um takes advantage of

04:22

minors uh for sexual gratification okay

04:25

I'll just say that if we just imagine

04:28

that it's like you know who uh who put

04:30

the milk back in the in the fridge with

04:33

only one sip left right like whatever it

04:35

is if you're just analyzing this defense

04:40

he comes across as an abuser who is

04:43

gaslighting now if you don't know

04:44

gaslighting that's when somebody in an

04:47

intimate relationship tries to make you

04:49

question reality there's many different

04:52

ways of doing it I suggest you watch any

04:53

number of YouTube videos about it

04:55

they're quite interesting um I have a

04:58

friend

05:00

who was in a very abusive relationship

05:02

and suffered a lot of gaslighting and I

05:05

learned a lot from that friend and I can

05:07

tell you it's very very very disruptive

05:11

it's very hurtful it's an amazingly

05:14

great thing that our society has that

05:16

term cuz when my friend was going

05:18

through that that term didn't exist so

05:20

it was just like what the hell is

05:22

happening to me said my friend you know

05:24

like what the hell is going

05:26

on I swear to God two + 2 = 4 but

05:31

they're telling me 2 + 2 equal

05:34

5 and I'm going to give you some more

05:36

examples

05:38

here and what ends up happening is if

05:40

you are a pop psychologist like me not a

05:42

real psychologist but a pop psychologist

05:44

you know that gaslighters often have

05:47

narcissistic personality disorders and

05:49

I'd like to read to you the narcissist

05:52

prayer this is an amazing thing that was

05:54

made a while ago to help you understand

05:56

the mind of a narcissist and how it ties

05:58

into gaslighting that didn't happen and

06:00

if it did it wasn't that bad and if it

06:03

was that's not a big deal and if it is

06:05

that's not my fault and if it was I

06:07

didn't mean it and if I did you deserved

06:10

it we're at the beginning here that that

06:13

didn't

06:14

happen and the way that Drake is doing

06:18

it it's creating cognitive distance like

06:22

he didn't succeed there are things that

06:24

don't add up and don't make

06:26

sense I I remember when my friend told

06:29

me a story about finding some texts on

06:33

his partner's phone about meeting up

06:35

with a potential lover in New York City

06:37

and when that friend confronted uh their

06:40

partner their abusive partner the the

06:42

the partner was like no that didn't

06:44

happen it's like it's right here well

06:45

you shouldn't be looking at that well I

06:47

am looking at that but it's right here

06:49

yeah no that didn't happen they went to

06:51

coup's therapy and they discussed it in

06:53

coup's therapy and it was that didn't

06:54

happen to the point where my friend

06:57

actually doesn't remember whether or not

06:58

they actually saw the thing that they

07:01

actually saw that's how gaslighting

07:03

works that didn't happen if it did it

07:05

wasn't that bad okay you try to change

07:07

it you try to change the topic okay the

07:10

whole beginning of this the first time I

07:12

heard it I was like oh damn Drake got

07:16

him Drake got him because he's saying

07:19

that there was a fake mole in his Camp

07:22

feeding fake information to Kendrick wow

07:25

and there is no 11-year-old daughter wow

07:28

and then I thought of about it first of

07:30

all let's say this is true that's like

07:35

saying I peed in my pants and everyone

07:38

knows that I peed in my pants but I told

07:40

you that I peed and pooed in my pants

07:42

and you said that I pooed in my pants

07:47

sucker I I didn't poo in my pants I just

07:50

peed in my pants I just have one child

07:52

who I probably never would have claimed

07:54

if it wasn't for Bush a t i just I am

07:56

just a dead beat dad with one person

08:01

but even that it it's so wild because he

08:05

undercuts this claim he says that he fed

08:08

him the information and then later said

08:12

that his informance is a clown so which

08:15

is it does he have a fake informant or

08:19

does he have an informant who is real

08:22

but not

08:23

reliable this is the cognitive

08:25

dissonance of a gaslighter this is what

08:27

he's trying to create to the point where

08:29

you go

08:31

oh the person I heard that from is both

08:35

on your side and also if he's not on

08:38

your side then he's not reliable it

08:41

doesn't make any cohesive sense the

08:44

other thing that people who are

08:46

gaslighting you will do is they will

08:48

distract and divert constantly

08:51

constantly constantly going back to that

08:53

example of my friend you know hey you

08:56

shouldn't be looking at my messages okay

08:59

fine but I did look at your messages

09:00

this is outrageous how dare you do that

09:02

this is the most outrageous thing you

09:04

could ever do to me I don't think I can

09:05

ever forgive you for looking at my

09:06

messages okay distraction distraction

09:10

distraction the problem is that Drake

09:12

doesn't understand the weakness of his

09:15

attack his attack is that Whitney is not

09:17

in love with

09:20

him oh it's coming back I made a video a

09:23

couple videos ago about the fact this

09:25

whole beef is just an addendum to Mr

09:27

morale and the big steppers this whole

09:29

beef is unintentionally advertisements

09:31

for this album this whole beef is a

09:33

poppy fun way fun way of mediating all

09:39

the themes in this very dense and unfun

09:41

album

09:43

okay he says in this album that Whitney

09:46

is going to leave him he says in this

09:48

album that he has mistreated her and

09:49

that he's cheated on her he has implied

09:52

that he has abused her I believe

09:55

physically in addition to emotionally he

09:58

doesn't deny anything Kendrick in his

10:01

responses never denies never says I

10:03

didn't hit Whitney do you know why he

10:04

doesn't say it because a either he did

10:07

and he doesn't need to say I you know

10:08

either he did and they've worked through

10:10

it and that's this whole album is about

10:11

being a better man and breaking out of

10:12

the cycles of abuse in the first place

10:14

or he didn't do it and if you didn't do

10:16

it you don't need to say it you don't

10:18

need to say I Didn't Do It Go ahead ask

10:20

me you ever hit your wife I'll be like

10:23

no and you're like yes you did I won't

10:24

even respond to you I won't even be like

10:26

um well actually I won't be like show

10:28

receipts like it's just so far now if

10:31

you ask me like hey have you ever yelled

10:34

at your dog bow when you shouldn't have

10:36

I'll be like well I mean when should

10:37

have you know I haven't always been the

10:39

best dog owner anyways I'm getting off

10:42

track

10:43

here

10:45

um so so he's he's doubling down on

10:49

these attacks on Kendrick for things

10:51

that Kendrick has not actually refuted

10:55

so that whole line the second line that

10:56

really hits is the last line before he

10:58

gets into his huba God's ending where

11:01

you know he says you know Whitney I'll

11:03

hit your back and but it'll be a lot

11:06

safer or whatever it is I mean like

11:08

that's like a good oh line but like it's

11:12

like it it's all on here it's all on

11:14

here the whole story whatever you are

11:17

going to say about Kendrick Lamar he has

11:19

already said about

11:20

himself and it's tied into just this

11:22

whole weirdness of like why is she

11:24

following Dave free on Instagram listen

11:27

she's an adult is my wife on Instagram I

11:31

don't know I I legitimately don't

11:34

know I don't think so if she is is she

11:38

following my my Instagram I hope not all

11:43

I do is like post like advertisements

11:46

for this channel like random thoughts

11:47

and stuff you think she needs Instagram

11:50

she's with me all the time she's with me

11:52

all the time okay I mean like this is an

11:56

adolescent this is like my you know like

12:00

I mean my kids are too smart for it but

12:01

I've heard of stories of teenagers being

12:04

like Oh my God I just got unfriended by

12:07

by Bobby what's going to happen you know

12:09

like these are adult

12:14

questions so he never has to say he

12:17

never has to say I never laid a hand on

12:19

her because that's not what the

12:21

argument's about by not feeding into

12:24

that Kendrick is understanding what you

12:26

have to do if you want to win one of

12:27

these debates you can't just

12:29

be defending defending defending you

12:32

have to keep attacking and then you

12:34

don't bring it up as a

12:36

concept and what this does I'll put you

12:40

up there Kung Fu the other thing that

12:43

this does is or that that abusers do

12:46

that narcissistic abusers do is they do

12:47

what's called a flip the narcissist flip

12:51

so he is flipping around his own flip so

12:55

there is an attack on Drake and then

12:56

what Drake is doing is trying to change

12:58

the topic trying to change the subject

12:59

trying to make it whether or not he hit

13:02

the mother of his children at some point

13:04

in the past 10 years and he flips that

13:08

around on Kendrick saying you'd rather

13:11

grab your pen and misdirect it like he's

13:13

actually flipping on a flip he even

13:15

tries to flip it around trying to make

13:17

it seem like Kendrick is the one who has

13:19

problems uh with histories of

13:22

molestation and and and Essay right he's

13:26

trying to flip it around because of

13:27

mother ey which we're getting too soon

13:29

he he's just flopping all over the place

13:31

just denying so much stuff saying he's

13:33

too rich to

13:35

be he's too rich he he he

13:40

simultaneously he simultaneously refers

13:43

to it as this Epstein [ __ ] and says I'm

13:48

too rich to get away with this he is

13:50

literally talking about a person who was

13:53

so rich he could get away with running

13:55

an underage sex ring and in the same

13:59

verse saying I'm too rich to be able to

14:03

get away with this that's what makes me

14:05

think this stuff is all true it's not

14:07

based on evidence it's based on the

14:09

style of argument where he's just

14:11

denying and throwing these things out

14:12

there and you have to believe two things

14:14

are true at the same time you have to

14:15

believe that Epstein could Epstein could

14:18

get away with it because he was so rich

14:20

and Drake can't get away with it because

14:22

he's so rich all of it doesn't work it

14:25

just doesn't work it doesn't read it

14:27

doesn't read and every 's like making

14:29

fun of Drake saying his his his

14:31

co-writers and his teams are writing

14:32

this I don't think so I think he's

14:34

writing this but I don't think he knows

14:35

how to do it and just in terms of of

14:37

protesting protesting too much you see

14:39

back here I made what I call the no sex

14:41

offender list this is the quote Drake

14:45

when you are guilty or not guilty when

14:47

you're trying to prove your innocence

14:49

stay away from double negatives it's too

14:51

confusing it's too easy to misinterpret

14:54

Drake is not a name that you're going to

14:57

see on no sex offender

14:59

list so if we take that down this is the

15:03

no sex offender list I wrote it up there

15:06

does Drake's name belong on that list I

15:09

refer you to the text again Drake is not

15:12

a name that you are going to see on no

15:15

sex offender list which therefore means

15:18

I cannot write Drake up here because

15:20

you're not going to see his name on the

15:23

no sex offender list now I'm not saying

15:27

Tada I got you it's more the mental

15:29

state that he's in where he's just sort

15:30

of saying anything everything's all

15:32

mixed up I've never been with no one

15:35

underage I've never been with no one

15:37

underage why so many double

15:40

negatives I'd never looked twice at no

15:42

teenager why so many double

15:45

negatives but going back to the third

15:49

reason that he's failed is that this

15:51

song more than any other song is an

15:53

advertisement for this how many people

15:55

have gone back and listened to the song

15:56

Mother ice over how many people how many

15:59

people who I bet gave up on this album

16:01

because they thought it was too dense

16:02

and they wanted to be more like Dam

16:03

which is understandable but unfortunate

16:05

because it's such a great album it's

16:07

understandable though I don't make fun

16:07

of anybody who did not dig this album

16:09

it's very hard very dense it doesn't

16:11

mean you're a small brain it just means

16:12

that you weren't up for this album at

16:14

the time that it came out that's totally

16:16

okay but you're missing out on some

16:18

great music some great culture some

16:19

great Rhymes all that stuff and you're

16:21

missing out on the song Mother I sober

16:24

now I've been talking about about about

16:26

father time cuz that's the one that

16:27

relates to me the most cuz my dad Dad

16:29

recently died and because I'm a father

16:30

and all that stuff but holy cow he

16:33

directly references mother I sober so

16:35

you have to go back and listen to this

16:37

now the weird messed up thing is he

16:39

takes this fake position of empathy okay

16:43

so first of all he misreads the text he

16:45

reads the text this is why it's very

16:49

important critical thinking skills are

16:51

very important this is why it's the most

16:52

important thing you can learn in college

16:53

is critical thinking reading

16:55

comprehension I'm not trying to be

16:56

patronizing I'm just trying to be honest

16:58

I'm trying to be clear it is the fact

17:02

that one could listen to or read the

17:03

lyrics to the song Mother I sober and

17:07

conclude that Kendrick himself was

17:10

sexually abused is completely against

17:13

the sense of the text the text itself is

17:15

about generational trauma and about the

17:19

fact that his

17:20

mother

17:22

assumed that he must have been abused

17:25

because of the abuse that she suffered

17:28

herself

17:29

it's about the presumption of it not

17:32

about the fact of

17:35

it never lied but no one believed me

17:37

when I said he didn't he's talking about

17:40

shivering he's talking in this frail

17:42

Broken Voice he's talking about not

17:44

being believed because the cycle of

17:47

abuse going back going back going back

17:51

going back going back generation after

17:53

generation after generation he explains

17:55

how many people were abused and taken

17:57

advantage of and mistreated and R worded

18:00

all over the

18:01

place and what does he say about it he

18:05

didn't he wasn't touched but he was

18:08

still affected because he was constantly

18:11

chasing manhood but Whitney's gone by

18:13

the time you hear this song she did all

18:15

she

18:17

could Drake you sent us back to this

18:20

song and in this song Kendrick Lamar

18:23

told us that Whitney left him and now

18:26

we're supposed to sit there and listen

18:27

to your track where you say how come you

18:29

haven't talked to Whitney in 6 months

18:31

it's like we know why we know why

18:34

because their relationship couldn't

18:36

survive the results of the trauma that

18:39

he suffered and it wasn't sa it was

18:42

other

18:44

stuff and it's such a beautiful song and

18:47

it's so powerful and it's so

18:49

meaningful and it's something that

18:51

Kendrick can bring

18:53

us and it's a reminder Drake that you

18:57

can't you just lack the self-awareness

19:00

and dude that's all

19:02

right I love you know the

19:05

Stooges you know like Proto punk from

19:08

the 60s you know is Iggy Pop in 1969

19:12

capable of writing a song called mother

19:14

I sober no not all music has to be all

19:17

things all the time but this is a very

19:19

special thing and you are attacking a

19:22

man who's capable of doing something

19:25

uniquely well in the art that you

19:28

yourself practice and in your effort to

19:31

try to take his okay so it was already

19:34

his approach he was already taking

19:35

sympathy he was already saying I feel

19:37

bad for you because your father didn't

19:38

claim you Kendrick was already referring

19:40

this to Mr morale now Drake has done a

19:43

double Mr Morale on the one hand he's

19:45

sending us back there on the other hand

19:47

if we even if we don't go back and read

19:50

the actual text even if we take Drake's

19:52

misreading of the text as being accurate

19:55

we are then understanding the cycles of

19:57

abuse that is talking about a Mr morale

19:59

everything goes back here everything

20:02

goes back there everything because

20:05

that's a great piece of art that

20:07

describes cyclical

20:11

trauma and then we get the end bit so

20:14

those are my three reasons why it

20:15

doesn't work strictly on the

20:18

defense he's exhibiting all of the all

20:21

of the traits of a gaslighter and he's

20:24

making advertisements for Mr morale the

20:27

end bit is just a little bit funny

20:29

because I like to talk about comedy on

20:30

this channel uh just for reasons and um

20:34

just the way that he's talking at the

20:35

end you may or may not know I'm a big

20:37

fan of of Home Star Runner there's a

20:40

song called uh everybody to the Limit

20:42

and there's this bit at the end of the

20:44

song with the character strong bad it's

20:46

like come on FUBU guys everyone just you

20:50

know feels sorry for you I mean I do

20:53

just the way that he delivers if you've

20:55

never heard the song uh just listen to

20:57

it again because it's it's funny cuz

20:59

Drake is trying to sound off-handed and

21:01

like cool and composed but he's still

21:03

just trying so hard and you know because

21:05

he goes back and he like he he goes back

21:08

and he restates the beginning he's like

21:11

you know you made five songs this the

21:13

one before last is one where we fed you

21:15

information that information was false

21:17

like it doesn't come across as actually

21:19

authentic it comes across as

21:21

inauthentic come on for Hoopa

21:25

guys this was the sheet that I made for

21:28

the last time uh for push-ups this is a

21:32

reminder of how far Drake has fallen

21:35

this these are all the points that he

21:37

was attacking Kendrick on in that song

21:40

quality of art success direction of

21:42

influence intelligence Independence and

21:45

then ad hominum attacks rubber glue and

21:47

then Strays it's just stuck here it's

21:50

just stuck there nothing else is on

21:51

there not success not quality of

21:54

art all right there you go

21:59

Drake otomy

22:01

202024 will it succeed will it fail I

22:03

don't know and dear God let's hope that

22:08

uh this music is Contin I don't know how

22:11

I'm going to end this this camera
