Transcripts
it it's [Â __Â ] up what they're doing to
him because he helped so many artists
like become bigger gave them their first
number ones gave them careers and now
incred and now he's looked at like oh he
just used all these people for his
Advantage incredibly whack and also this
is you know they always say like but it
don't sorry to interrupt you it don't
matter
because with
everything first of all nothing gets
changed here all the Kendrick
fans the Drake haters they get satisfied
by what kendrickson and then all the
Drake fans they either love what Drake
did or they go uh he lied so it doesn't
count nobody moves at all everybody just
wants whatever they feel to be Val I
know you say that everybody just wants
whatever they feel to be validated it's
no different than politics no different
we have the feeling already everybody on
the west coast right now where it's been
a minute since the West Coast really had
like a real I don't want to say that
Kendrick wasn't a top guy but it's been
a while since the West Coast like
dominated first time the9 something in
some sort of way everybody's [Â __Â ] so
excited by this they're like we're back
on top we [Â __Â ] got this we're the bad
[Â __Â ] so their egos are
satisfied so obviously there's
frustration I'm sure with Drake fans
like man we really want just cob him and
we didn't get this dub but I don't think
everybody just leaves Drake as a drake
fan they've built too long I don't think
everybody but you said it's like
politics and Swing Swing voters is what
decides the winner and right now but
here's the thing that people don't
realize about politics swing voters
still only vote based on their identity
that identity hasn't really been swung
it's just been moved from side to side
side so for example the swing voter like
that Middle America voter that guy if
the Republican is saying we're open in
the factory and the Democrat saying
we're closing the factory they swing
Republican if the Democrat is saying
we're opening the factory Republican
saying we're closing they they go they
go Democrats what I'm saying is they're
not real swing nobody's going to change
sides in this battle you just you just
go towards whatever your identity wants
and with those swing voters as they call
them their identity does not change they
just go to whoever is going to fulfill
their identity the same thing happens in
we're just saying that like now if
somebody was going for that top spot I'm
the best so I think Kendrick has swayed
people to give him that Crown got Crown
if if if both of them dropped an album
this year I think Kendrick could out
that's what's crazy he would outsell for
but I don't think I don't think it's
over I don't think it's over consumption
right now is like people want to see
Kendrick H and it's going to be
interesting when he does they want to
see him have the run with finally having
the crown right and and Drake fans are
not leaving like you know what I mean
like Drake fans like he's still going to
be the guy and that's why I think Drake
should just be like he should look at
this be like wait I [Â __Â ] up and giving
this guy his first solo number one and
so many people are now on his side I
hate saying [Â __Â ] and it takes y'all an
hour to say it I really hate saying [Â __Â ]
is that what's happening now I say [Â __Â ]
you go guys go nah and then an hour
later you just say it and I'm supposed
to go oh you got a good point no no one
actually discounted that we're saying
that wasn't the the what I'm saying
Drake still gave him a number one it's
still a feat oh of course it's a feature
bro no no of course if your number one
comes off the Dis Battle from the
biggest guy it's a feature no no I'm
still I'm still acknowledging that what
I what I was always saying is that this
guy was always either one a or two like
he was he's phenomenal like again that's
why there's two different conversations
one is like is this guy like musically
prolific of course he's amazing making
music he's amazing at rap like Kendrick
is I I don't even think Drake would even
utter the words he's bad at this like I
think the reason the fact that he's even
beefing with him is because he goes this
guy's awesome at this and I want people
to know that I'm more awesome that's
what he's yeah no of course but that to
me that's that insecurity it's like if
he just knows he's more often awesome
and he has the validation of the people
coming out to the shows the fan base the
ticket sales literally every metric
except the fans of the other guy which
she'll never sway anyway the fans of the
other guy are never going to be swayed
what I'm saying is it's a it's a misstep
based on his what what I perceive as and
we all have this as performers like I
just want to win everybody over what if
these people who don't like me I think
you look at like a comic but that's not
what like in hip-hop it's a it's a
really contact adversarial sport what
I'm saying is you could do it without
dedicating the whole song which we
agreed earlier which is you just put out
a banger that got a little few bars to
uh Kendrick and then you make him put
out the whole song first by you putting
out the whole song first I think it
gives Kendrick I always thought that I
always I always thought him going first
but again here's the thing too Kendrick
has had the patience of waiting 10 years
and Drake like you know Drake told me
something like CU he he um he just went
on like an 84 City Tour he dropped three
albums went on 84 like the dude is
exhausted yeah right before he could go
on vacation there's a [Â __Â ]
dissing him he wants to get this over
with now he just wants to do it now like
all right you know what [Â __Â ] I'm going
lock it I'm going to get this done and
Kendrick has the advantage of I could
just play the whacka old thing and be
like all right well I'll be back later
yeah you know and I think Drake cooked
up something but hoping to hear what
Kendrick was going to come with and it
was clear Kendrick wasn't going to drop
again and he's just like yo what do I
really got to do to make this guy rap
like you know he's kind of posting on
the gram like yo what's up any day now
and he's like [Â __Â ] it I guess I have to
start off however I think that played
into Kendrick's strategy cuz he was
counter punching if we're thinking about
like yo I'm counter punching okay it
looks thirsty almost it's like okay
you're trying to hit me with the hit
song with push-ups okay Bet let me give
you this layered song about how I'm
about to just dissect everything you got
going on then Drake is like okay all
right let me try to play your game a
little bit and let me kind of psycho and
oh you're obsessed with these rumors cuz
oh you were touched as a child I
remember you said that on your song and
and he's now doing that and Kendrick is
like pych I got a club here too
[Â __Â ]
so strategically kendri Kendrick played
oh strategically oh yeah he and and
Drake is a a top tier chess player
also those little tidbits yo he has I
have the van that's the replica I guess
it's a replica of you of that band that
was on your first album cover um I I
crushed it in my video oh okay the the
the place you shout out from my city no
new ho King I'm in there just chilling
showing I'm the boss of this [Â __Â ] you
know what I mean like he's doing all
these things that against like I always
said thank God that Meek Mill was so
[Â __Â ] stupid because like that [Â __Â ]
that [Â __Â ] was just playing like yo he
was playing like Bingo like Drake Drake
was running circles around him but but
he's going at a guy who's just a master
chess player that you can't even see his
moves anywhere else like like someone
actually said this they said Hey listen
Drake may have got a little bit of a big
head no didd he um because of the win
over Meek and one of those things where
is just that Meek just madly and badly
Mis misplayed his apparently he was like
heavily on drugs at that time yeah yeah
but think about this
right if push a t Had Drake fall back
with a rumor or not rumor a confirmation
of a child well what's the biggest like
expose you could have had of a rapper to
that time it would have been you don't
write your rhymes except you know how he
fumbled it the [Â __Â ] tweeted it out yeah
3 weeks before he made a song about it
it's like if he reveal that on a song
out the blue [Â __Â ] you don't
write your Rhymes and we're like huh
what are you talking about then just
play the reference tracks we might look
at that different and the song sucked
yeah the song
suck all right that's a prere become a
little bit better a raer just you got to
keep this real did Drake feed him that
information about the the daughter
because he's claiming that he fed him
the information I don't think he did I
think he's just claiming what the
internet is saying um be objective EG I
do I do believe the daughter thing I
don't believe the other things so oh I
didn't even know that that was up for
debate I thought it was like fact that
he that he fed the information no that's
interesting I think I think the other
thing picture in the back of some fuzzy
girl in the video saying oh this happens
to be the same I I think he did feed
that because I could tell they were Rec
I could tell they were trying to
recently feed like yo the other Street
dudes that usually hold down ovio in
Toronto they're getting tired of him he
hasn't been feeding the wolves and I saw
him randomly just beefing they're like
[Â __Â ] oo he had a TI is change now what's
up yo you better put some money in the
books and I'm like okay you're trying to
get them to feed into an angle and and
and I think I said to drink I said I
said that was your boy still man like
I'm not I'm not buying that [Â __Â ] the one
thing I don't think that was on stage
was I do believe that his father
probably went on vacation with some girl
and the suit kid got stolen I do think
like because that doesn't why would you
have prescriptions in your name and [Â __Â ]
like that like you know I mean if you're
trying to Stage like I think he did a
good job on Family Matters to to own it
to be like hey well the main glove was
in there because of me and blah blah
that didn't really make sense I didn't
even ask him about that though so I
don't know but then why did Kendrick
remove the cover art
well there I think it only got removed
on Apple I think well yeah you can't
upload to dsps like an actual medical
script you know what I mean it's like
yeah like yeah the guy's name and
address is on it you I still don't
believe Drake fed him that because he
would have said it right away yeah right
away he' have been like hey dummy we fed
you this information instead of being
like Oh I got a daughter somebody nobody
told me no I I believe he did because
that is so Random if if Kendrick had if
he said it so L he must have had it from
some really reliable source that I feel
that you know what all these guys are
doing right like they're sending they're
finding out information like how do they
find out information on one another this
is kind of fun well well push a t said
it push T said everybody thinks that
Kanye told me no0 40 was pill talking to
a girl they're all smashing the same
girls what did I say they alling the
same girls there's thousand girls just
get [Â __Â ] down by all famous people I
found out that I found out out that
Metro
boomman hated Drake before it was like
universally known I found that out cuz a
chick he smashed in La I Smash in LA and
and and you know we're all talking and
yo nothing a girl always wants impress
you by flexing the other popping guy
she's [Â __Â ] with and then they always
just tell every detail so I'm like oh
this is great like yeah he hates the
[Â __Â ] out of Drake I'm like oh [Â __Â ] but
then the same thing kind of came up
again where people heard that you find
out why um I I still don't know why I I
I just know that he does how do you know
they're not using you how do you know
the girls aren't sent to smash you
pillow talk with you have you ever
thought that academics working for me no
no hold on because me and Metro don't
get along me and Metro don't get along
something like what I'm saying is you
could be doing stuff that you don't even
realize that you're doing oh no no no
that probably is that probably is like
this is a really this is a really
convoluted game which I realize I think
future and Drake they're beefing over
women I think that's a really simple
thing to com why are they beefing over
women I'm like so like this is such a
confusing notion that guys would beef
over women that they're not even trying
to wife I mean it's not about the women
it's about the respect that power in ego
though I think it's they're saying
things to these women and then the women
are saying stuff relaying it back to the
guys so it's like I don't [Â __Â ] with him
so it's not that we [Â __Â ] him girl it's
like no no no I know you don't like me
because this girl talk you're like a
random like a random girl that's I don't
know if she [Â __Â ] future but she being
around it when I was trying to figure
out I'm like yo why haven't future and
Drake been around each other like like a
girl who's like get invited to these
little parties that they do and you know
they're around like fly on the wall type
[Â __Â ] where some of these conversations
was like future like future was super
pissed off that Drake did album with 21
Savage oh really why cuz they beef like
crazy that's why I was a little confused
because like he did an album with you
but but according to the person who I
got from they were like hey D he felt
that Drake used him at that time to have
that cultural Equity within the clubs in
Atlanta because and then future used him
to have the cultural Equity within the
masses and then everybody mutually
benefits if anybody future benefited
more and but for them they feel like
well if you're going to come back to
Atlanta and and do it with another
rapper it should be me that's what I've
heard but there's probably like a bunch
of nuances it's like high school I'm
being honest it's really like high
school like all this [Â __Â ] is because
most people who want to be famous are
insecure myself included I'm not going
to like you know most of us try to work
on it but some don't and then just
especially I think if you're famous
young there's no need to work on
yourself and and thought that hey some
people just like the dude [Â __Â ] flying
around this [Â __Â ] with a jumbo jet and
got a $400 million contract while these
guys they get 15 million which is by the
way you know you know it's funny
watching Drake and and Rick Ross argue
about money and Drake says to him yo
your house looks like a slice of cheese
yeah yeah and he says like keep being
Brett barish's [Â __Â ] like basically
that's the guy who owns the the spirits
um ah
that all that and if you look at Ross
like Ross will be dissing everybody in
the world with the bottles in his hand
like oh he's always promoting so he's
funny dude Rick Rick Ross genuinely
funny that was one of the times I
thought Drake was going on script I
think he was losing what the people
cared about like we like funny [Â __Â ] yeah
you're not going to be rck on funny yeah
Rick St white boy and BBL dri I'm sorry
phenomenal and Drake had that misstep
with the whole texting his mom thing
like that was coring that was that like
he show a screenshot say oh Mom Rick is
being racist or whatever like even
though it probably wasn't a real Texas's
mom but the fact that he tried to put it
out that way real call calling a guy
racist yeah calling a guy racist that is
going to use the fact that you're not in
the culture and you're a white boy
you're kind of proving it with I hear
you me huge M white guy was like that is
kind of
racist kind of related to that most of
anything that was the best disc I've
ever seen
hey I I think Drake should just you
know just what's the next move what is
the next move for Drake hit song is way
out of this now hit song meaning about
Kendrick or just about something else
give him three lines here or there still
a [Â __Â ] for a God's plan yeah I'm still
bigger than you Hey listen you're the
you're the liar that you know I gave you
I gave you a couple of weeks but that's
it yeah now here's the problem you put
out you try to put out the hit song you
try TR to do it and then it flops or
doesn't work that's bad yeah that's bad
yeah yeah
but you know what Drake does best just
do a collab yeah go to one of the guys
which is by way this is one of the most
interesting Parts I've been looking at
who still stands with who Cho and sides
exactly I've seen people I've seen a lot
of artists who you could tell and and
that's what I was saying before uh when
you cut me off you I was saying with
every like billionaire they have the
story you [Â __Â ] over like 10 people or
you had to right I think Drake what
we're watching now especially the
silence is a lot of people who not
necessarily [Â __Â ] over but they might
feel ever so slighted yo remember when I
just came in a game and you hopped on my
song and then I got a little cool and I
said yo could I could you give me
another verse and you left me on red
[Â __Â ] but he already put you on
this is where it's like no because
speculating in music it's it's it's more
of these genuine relationships not where
you're only [Â __Â ] with me when it's
convenient those people become a little
bit salty like yeah I'm salty at you
that you are they feel essentially used
even though it's really Mutual right
it's not even Mutual I mean if you're an
upand cominging artist and then the
biggest artist alive does a song with
you the only person that benefits from
that is the upand cominging artist let
me let me say this it's like Rody Rich
Rody Rich has had a song with Drake it
got late um it's called in the cut the
real song never came out Rody Rich
obviously when he dropped the box one of
the most popping artists on the earth um
afterwards subsequently his career kind
of cooled out a bit yeah he just had a
song rake that it just didn't come out
though I think he might feel way I think
he might you know not like salty but
it's just like you know okay I'm not in
the same space I was when we cut that
record and that got leaked it didn't
come out maybe do another record now
when I see Kendrick going at you I'm a
little bit more Pro Kendrick like he's
now your West Coast Cody you know what I
mean like he so so I think Drake is
watching and we can't really see any
artist standing with Drake 21 Savage
right just brought him on tour and S
third of course 21 [Â __Â ] with Drake but
he's in a he's in a he's he's stuck
between a rock and a hard place he's
from Atlanta you can't go against future
Future's King in Atlanta you know what I
mean I remember doing an interview with
21 and he told me say yo in Atlanta
future Drake like the people of Atlanta
care more about future than Drake right
so he can't go against future and then
his man is also Metro so he's like
noticeably absent and quiet and Drake is
kind of out here fighting by his by by
himself the second thing we've also not
seen during the meat mill thing when all
that was going on yo Drake was popping
up in Houston clubs got [Â __Â ] shaking
their ass to back to back it looked like
he he was the culture like he was what
people were liking out outside and I'm
watching now look like Drake is stuck in
the booth and even though we haven't
seen Kendrick his music seems to be
outside like everybody's dancing to the
song like the I don't think he's stuck
in the booth I think he it looks at
least appears he's trying to keep the
women on his side like he's popping up
at Nikki shows he's popping up at uh
sexy bread shows like not during the
beef yeah recently he was on tour Nikki
like not on tour but he did like a few
different dates with Nikki that's after
he dropped push-ups like [Â __Â ] got [Â __Â ]
got to another not since this next level
yeah yeah no he's that's what he's
winning yo when you're I'm outside yo
when I'm when it's a good time when you
winning it's a real good time when you
winning yeah and it's it's just odd how
no one is speaking up for Drake I think
so I want if I'm Drake right yeah and I
built I built I the way I orchestrated
my career is instead of and there are
some artists that have done this trying
to shut down every new artist that comes
out out of fear that they're going to
take them over like literally trying to
like squash and silence careers instead
going I'm going give you your first hit
I'm going give you your first hit so
that when you blow up you remember me we
can continue to work together and you
always remember that you know we built
something good and I'm going to put you
on and maybe he really likes putting
people on maybe he's I mean like I know
there's look Joe Rogan likes putting on
new Talent he's done it with so many of
us he enjoys it he doesn't ask for
nothing back he literally just enjoys
putting on people who are nice so maybe
there's a part of Drake like that and
he's done it with so many people now
when Joe's going through anything he got
a lot of [Â __Â ] like me that are
ready to start swinging because we know
how important he was same thing with
Charlotte Charlotte going through
anything I'm I'm riding with Charlotte
till the end of times so it's like if
there's
anything that affects any of those guys
we're
riding if I'm Drake right now I would be
kind of hurt that I put all these
[Â __Â ] people on did all these songs
with these people who are really you
could say oh they're popping they were
no names in terms of international play
before he puts them on probably has made
them through that millions and millions
of dollars right I'm very vocal about
the credit the you know who I give
credit to the people who put me on very
vocal right I'm sure those people in
some way must feel if they're like
reasonable human beings and then nobody
talking nobody speaking up I'll be tight
bro well also they don't want to go
against the other side and also this is
what the other side do but that's what's
crazy now you're playing politics well
here's the thing too I think there's a
lot of people in the industry that look
resent that [Â __Â ] no no but
beyond that they have looked at Drake
and they have really maybe seen a little
bit behind the curtain and they
respected less now what does that mean
there was a time when they felt that he
was the instant I get on a verse is
going crazy it's going to affect [Â __Â ]
like I think now people look at him and
be like well what is Drake if he doesn't
have a yachty next to him or if he
doesn't he's not riding this way if they
don't look at him as Untouchable
anymore do you think it I'm playing
Devil's Advocate because again I'm I the
Drake hater on the team do do you think
it says something that none of those
guys will go to be cuz there's nothing
anybody could say about you to make me
go so I believe you I'm going to stay
quiet I'll die for this guy you'll die
for but thing is isn't it is it not
telling I don't and I'm actually asking
you do you think it's telling that
nobody's coming do you think that says
something about Drake more than the
people you see what I'm saying nobody
like is every one of these guys shitty
you see what I'm saying I mean in this
business you get people who are
incredibly desperate for fame and
they're incredibly in our business too
and they're willing to do
like I just had a buddy who who who said
that they weren't going to do something
or they were going to cancel something
I'm going try to be vague here and they
were going to cancel something because
doing it was getting them a lot of
hate and that thing that they were going
to do is with somebody who really I mean
kind of put them on and giv them
opportunities Etc but just because they
were worried about their career and what
was going on with them they're like I
got to cancel it so people are going to
prioritize themselves first but I hear
the point you're making which is like oh
[Â __Â ] maybe our per ception is that he's
so benevolent he's helping all these
guys when maybe they don't really see it
that way is is that what you guys are
saying yeah like zero people are coming
there should be one person I would think
now granted I think you were first to
support Rogan and that helped open up I
was supposed to actually do after his
controversy happened I was supposed to
do the Pod that Monday which was crazy
but like never crossed my mind to not do
it I was like man you got to this guy's
helped out Schultz Schultz has helped
out you he's offering you this platform
you do this [Â __Â ] podcast there's no
question about it there's no one doing
that for Drake zero people and again I
am biased I don't know if he's a bad guy
so I maybe I shouldn't present this but
all these guys are industry friends like
like all that all that twin [Â __Â ] like
they're not really friends and so it's
like is there one human being just one
human being who's like yeah this is a
good guy I'm going to vouch but it's not
it's not them vouching as a good guy
they would have to go against Birdman is
the only guy defending you what's going
on yeah but that's what I'm saying the
industry is against him like all of
these guys this is a yeah like put like
this if you're industry friends and the
industry is against him then you are
going to side with the industry because
you see your security safety and
Longevity within the industry yeah I
guess it just
exposes that that these friendships and
my twin my dog Metro said it earlier
everyone has to pick a side if you pick
Drake side you you you you well you
almost have to hope that he survives it
obviously he'll survive but he'll
survive for Drake will Drake still have
that ability to help you because now
you're making an enemy of the weekend
you're making an enemy of Metro booming
future all of these guys who there's
much more that's not even that's not
present like a whole faction this is why
like being able
to have your own audience and create
your own [Â __Â ] like not feeling so
dependent is so important we can go to
war for Joe we can go to war for
Charlotte we can go to war for any of
the people that we really care about
right
because we are not dependent on the
industry the second you are dependent
the second oh [Â __Â ] man the only hit I
ever had was with Metro and if I say
this Metro not GNA feed me any more
beats and then what if I just bought a
house and then my kids in private school
and [Â __Â ] I won't be able to pay all
right let me just be
quiet yeah you have you're you're you're
Shackled by your ties to the industry in
regard I'm still wondering though what
the [Â __Â ] did he do to all these guys
some that's what I'm
try well I mean like again could you
speculate speculate well well we've just
heard [Â __Â ] reasons like reasons that
are just like very light girls like yeah
yeah like things like that I mean Rick
Ross on his song He said yo it's cuz you
sent to cease and assist but like like
the the guy who you're you're mad at for
like French is still following Drake
there's a deeper issue in I seen Metro
lude to it he said he said stop acting
like the reason we fell out is because
of a girl you didn't [Â __Â ] my girl
I I'll spare you
he said I'll us both to be fair he was
going to look bad too to be fair to
Drake Metro whatever the reason was
going to be he said the reason I'm not
telling you is it make both of us look
bad did he say that he he said he said
I'll spare he said I'll spare both of us
but he says he says he says you look
much worse yeah if I tell if I tell what
it is but I'll spare both of us yeah
okay I read it as if like oh if I say
what happened it's I'm going to be
embarrassed but you're going to look
like the bad guy yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah but but but I think what we're all
trying to say here is it would make
Drake Look way worse which is why Drake
won't come out with it he still look
stupid yeah Metro will still you look
he'll have some sort of negative feeling
about it but not as bad as potentially
Drake so maybe this has happened time
and time again and enough people have
been affected that nobody's coming out I
actually Drake Well I'm like I was like
yo yeah yeah what he I mean I don't know
it's your guy's business I don't well I
mean and I don't think he's going to
this is probably again the mere fact
that we've gotten two albums a bunch of
disc songs and none of these guys have
said you you did ABC and D like that's
odd like we're beefing and fighting but
we can't even address the reasons why
what what Drake has told me was like yo
he honestly just feels it comes from
like people viewing his position like
you know
Hey Jealousy the fact that he's at the
top he got the jet the lifestyle the you
know I mean the money
and because of whatever you know maybe
wrong or slight even sometime if he
doesn't intend it they may have just
like harbored feelings for him but I
still look at him like n not this amount
of [Â __Â ] come like yo it's time to get him
today there is some validity to jealousy
we all get jealous we all whatever but
when a guy at the top writes off
everything as they're just jealous I
don't I don't fully believe that you
know what I mean that's not and
especially it it it looks even weirder
when you're the guy like you're the guy
that took Jay-Z's MTO to Super Saiyan
when you put your hand around the new
guy yeah like if every comic went
against Joe
Rogan and wouldn't say why you would
probably have to say what the [Â __Â ] did
Joe do that's the easy thing to say is
well yeah your je is his spot but it's
like well he's kind of helped all y'all
yeah and that's this is a [Â __Â ] great
conspiracy right here yeah no I really
don't know anybody who spent time with
Joe will vouch for Joe he's a great
[Â __Â ] guy blah blah blah
that's not fact none of these has all
right has anybody vouched for Drake
Birdman y I'm sure y's been I don't even
know if
yti because yachty had like to post that
seemly was dissing The Other Guys he
said no it was a mistake yeah it's like
bro jands like you guys paint your nails
together you got to stand on it this
time like yo you getting the little gel
joints done together you got to stand on
it right now they just did a podcast
together on the beach
with um who's Zach something Kendrick
said you're playing dirty with Zach uh
he's to or he's accusing Drake because
that's another angle that I masterful
like he's defeated every possible angle
Drake could go like number
one uh all right there's the angle of
hey the venue for this beef is academic
stream and he's a number one Drake fan
how does this play out like you know you
know what he says he's compromised like
he hits everything and so the Zack beia
thing is at first this the
internet lopsidedly was like yo it's
Drake Drake Drake Drake Drake and
Kendrick kind negates by kind of like
trying to air out and put into air Drake
is using a whole bunch of bots Zack B is
a guy who's I think he manages ye but
like there are this there are these
nefarious individuals that kind of make
narrative Happ
B well that's what he's alluding to
you're the bot guy you know
like yo you're cooking up the box with
Drake you know what I mean and him kind
of like throwing certain things into the
air you got to listen to these song me
crazy he speaking with so much Authority
I sent him every song in order he did he
did now to be fair I've never spoken
Authority about the music yeah I I uh
don't care got to buddy not like us not
like us is such a [Â __Â ] Banger crazy
the back to back of two minutes a song
give it it if meet the GRS was actually
all factual yeah it's insane it would be
probably one of the biggest knockout
punches we've
seen to not only reveal and and I wrote
a verse to your mom explaining that this
industry has corrupted her son and
turned him into a pedophile let's say
that's also was real which that's not
real obviously yeah and then I showed
how you've neglected
actual real responsibility chase the
worst things that comes along with Fame
the things that you think I'm jealous of
you for till you you have not only
you're you're it's not just like
parenting it's just like you're hiding
another child he's like you know he's
dropping these lines like you call
yourself the boy I'm going to help you
turn to the man like that's kind of like
it's taking every like you just can't
listen to Drake just talk about y I'm
going to the club to [Â __Â ] some [Â __Â ]
no more like this guy's basically saying
this guy's a piece of [Â __Â ] and a creep
yeah [Â __Â ] a beef it's a war with yeah yo
y'all want to listen to this guy crazy
for the turnup I should have listened to
that so when I heard that one I was like
good thing was lies I was like the whole
time I'm listening y I was like then I
fin out lies I was like [Â __Â ] bullet
youbody ever picked me apart or exposed
me in that way the bullet man I have to
off my apart in a way that it's like he
can't recover from if that if if the
stuff was real he lies
