nobody on The Breakfast Club she's a
cult time to set it
off so no backstory needed we know that
Kendrick who's been a talk of the last
24 hours came back at Drake after two
disc records uh push-ups and like that
oh no not like that it was push-ups
and T that's what it is my bad and um we
just going to get straight into B so the
first line uh we reversed it so people
can understand what it
mean she my everything they say about me
true so that line is from uh Richard
Pryor and The Wizard of us so we
remember that uh when a curtain had when
he got exposed uh he wasn't real they
you know everything was like a facade or
whatever so he's calling Drake The
Wizard of Oz and then Kendrick said that
he go y andw Melly on Drake and Cole so
YW Melly was charged with double murder
of his two friends um and all o he
mentioned I I thought the line was fire
that he dropped with the push a t line I
thought that was pretty dope I think all
those balls were dope I think the W
Melly line was dope the push a p push a
t and both both the names terces I think
they would that was all dope absolutely
uh Kendrick hints that Drake might be
snitching so gun unfortunately got the
reputation to B snitch in the YSL RICO
case um and he's alluding to the fact
that he has some tea that drink be
snitching so uh and then he makes it
clear that he is a hater now this is the
thing nobody ever wants to admit to
being a hater I'm A og veteran Drake
hater
I well other than Charlamagne the God
you know what I'm saying yeah cuz he was
the first one to meit that he's a hater
but I like how he did this when he says
that Drake messes with uh women that
well girls that mess uh that confus
himself confus themselves with real
women he's apparently referring to uh
people whispering about Drake's alleged
threat of dating underage girls um he
also claims he's speaking for the whole
culture uh Kendrick claimed that Drake
requested a verse from him too and song
that he requested a verse on was first
person shooting so Drake wanted it to be
Kendrick Cole and him um so yeah and
then Kendrick Co I think when he said I
hate the way you walk I think that came
from U when DMX was up here absolutely
and DMX was saying that he hated
everything about Drake I hate the way he
walks I hate his haircut I hat that's I
think that was a playoff for that I
thought that was uh pretty dope too yeah
um Kendrick calls out the relationship
with sexy red this has got a lot of
people talking as well call this man a
hoe Jes I'm sorry I'm it's a lot in that
too I mean I didn't you know the sending
a ceas and assist for like that you know
that he that he repurposed and pushy T
lines right there though the whole sign
to a that sign to a yeah MH I mean
listen we got a battle ladies and
gentlemen you know I like it a lot
Kendrick did repurpose a lot of things
that we heard push T say already he
repurposed you know what Ross has been
saying calling Drake a white boy but I
like the angle he took because Kendrick
approached it as a healed grown man he's
saying Drake hasn't grown as an artist
are a man when he says I know they call
you the boy but where as a man cuz I
ain't seen him yet M like the the whole
the whole record he's painting Drake is
Drake is a artist who's all Style no
substance he even says it you make music
to pacify pacify people while I make
music to Electrify people yeah what I
like was he was speaking on people um
writing for Drake B is a producer and a
songwriter he also called out Drake for
using AI disc um to diss him in the
tailor me uh freestyle um he had took
shot at his son as well shots at his son
as well but I a know if we had I know he
took shots at his son me I'm sorry I'm
sorry he took shot his parenting father
yeah we got time see that that right
there that's just not waps that's a
psychological evaluation when you saying
the man don't know nothing about being a
real father you don't teach your son to
pray you're not giving your son tools to
walk through life you're not teaching
them morals Integrity discipline you're
not teaching them to speak the truth and
consider what God is considering Lord
have mercy Jesus Christ so yeah no I'm
sorry not shots at his son shots at his
parenting I meant to say yeah but I mean
I the song is is fire I mean I know a
lot of people argue that it's um that it
was late but I don't know I think that
little two weeks was worth it like I I
know in in today's time everything is
supposed to be microwavable and you know
things like that an instant um but I
think if if we going off the type of
rapper that Kendrick is then then I I
think two weeks is all right yeah and
I'm ready for I'm ready for more you
know what I mean I feel like you know
Kendrick could go could go a lot deeper
cuz like I said earlier you know he did
repurpose a lot of this same subject
matter we've been hearing people say
about Drake but I like the angle I like
him approaching it as a heed grown man
basically telling Drake you know you
need to grow up I think you also like
because you like anybody going at any
anybody lightskinned too so it has
nothing to do that by the way he's not
going at his lightskinn complexion he's
questioning Drake's Blackness yeah when
he said FUBU never been in your
collection you ain't never been for us
by us so he not he not just questioning
his complexion that's not just color rhm
he's saying I don't believe you're
really black how many Fe how many black
features you going to do before you feel
black enough no and then a for us by us
line the FUBU line yo I I I got that on
the third time I listened to it time
said you have Tommy H in your collection
right you know what I mean so I it's
it's I love it it's good it it wasn't
just a rap it was a psychological
evaluation like's he's playing on what
he believes to be Drake's insecurities
and if you're a person who leads with
ego if you a narcissist you hate being
exposed I don't know if Drake is any of
those things I don't know him like that
but it's a great angle to take yeah yeah
it's a great angle to take but let me
ask you a question the fact that
Kendrick waited whatever it was two
weeks or three weeks do that play into
how you like the
record no CU because you know everybody
was saying oh you got he got two days he
got four more days he got one more days
but now he came out and and and I hate
to say it but I mean I'm from a place
where people took their time to dissect
these records right bro clearly the time
don't matter what we what have we been
talking about for the past 10 minutes
yeah but a lot of people what have been
trending on social media but a lot of
people been saying that at the time was
the fact that they said that Drake won
or people are saying
clearly clearly the time no matter you
know if you if you can be objective
about this situation and not be a drake
stand or Kendrick stand you can
appreciate what both of them have done
thus far this is going to be a great a
great one that's right it is all right
well that is just with the message and
after Front Page News we'll discuss more
we'll take your phone calls and find out
what you guys think and you can get on
the phone lines right now 80058 51051
but when we come back we got to talk
about more arrest on these college
campuses I mean these students are
protesting they're getting arrested uh
some of them are losing their
scholarships some of them won't get a
chance to graduate so we'll talk about
