DRAKE VS G.O.O.D. Music (Update: Pusha Responds)

This. Lol. Most people don't even know push. He put out a decent beef track and all of a sudden he's their favourite rapper. Dudes almost retiring. He's gotta be 40 something.
Lord willin was one of my fav records in highschool. Shit was dope
I mean, does that bolded even matter. "He started it, I finished it" is cool and all, but even if Drake hadn't said a word about Pusha's fiancee, why the hell should Pusha have felt the need to pull punches until some line gets crossed. Just throw haymakers at the start.
I doubt he'd have held back and he damn well shouldn't have.
Where was all this when Cudi had obvious mental issues and Drake still popped off at him?
Beef rap was the excuse since Cudi stepped in first? Ok then. Manz called out Ye', also mentally ill, and is Pusha's producer. Clapback warranted. It's messy like rugby. Know the game before you get involved.

it's so odd listening to Hot 97.1/Power 105.1 talk about Drake getting this L then play Drake's God's Plan, Look Alive and, Nice for What repeatedly.
hes 41 but yeah i cant imagine hes going to be rapping about slinging cocaine in his 50s lmao.
He may have another album in him and some features along the way, but hes head of good now, thats where he lands.
Pusha T and fans proclaim him a
lyricist right ? That's one the weakest tracks from a so called lyricist I've ever heard.
None of bars where nice
Shit was as garbage as watching cannabis Battle rap off a notepad.

I'm still of the impression that he never called out Kanye. He said "I wrote for Kanye, so what do you think of him? That makes you a bit of a hypocrite. I just left Wyoming writing stuff for you guys" Kanye's already acknowledged that Drake helped him on those tracks.
He didn't go after Kanye, no one's really gone after Kanye... yet
I really have to wonder why Pusha went with the Story of OJ beat (apart it probably being free). It's not really hype, and doesn't really work on a meta level either since Drake has never really been accused of trying to escape blackness the way OJ was.
Now if this was a freestyle over Informer, that would be another story entirely.

Got people actually saying Pusha T's bars are trash?
These stans..
for a so called elite lyricist you're damn skippy they're trash as fuck
Go listen to any Nas , Jay , 2pac , biggie or Eminem diss track for real bars
I want more rappers to get involved in this, go full civil war type shit. And then it will actually be entertaining. Because let's keep this 100. Drake is only going to lose this in the eyes of certain people who have been dying inside waiting to see him get clowned. But he's still going to win because he's Drake. If this was Kendrick, things might be different.
Because he's been calling Drake a coon, hence bars from Infared, the photos, and The Story of OJ beat going "my skin is black..."
He really couldn't have picked a more fitting beat.
These takes are ridiculous.
I ain't built for these hot takes.

The salt for some of you to say Pusha T is a trash lyricist.
Just..lmfao.
"I'm not Black, I'm OJ" history coupled with the Blackface picture... Push has been plotting this for a while.
Reading comprehension isn't your friend
I never said Pusha T was a trash lyricist period
I said this diss track was weak ass fuck for a so called elite lyricist
Yeah but that's the exact opposite of what OJ was. OJ was a black dude that tried to hard to get out of his race socially while Drake generally tries too hard to have street cred.Because of the blackface pic.
I just suggested one: a Drake diss over Informer would be absolutely hilarious especially considering that the last track from Drake was called "Duppy"
Of course not. He's in a popular Marvel song. He's untouchable for life now.
Has anyone gone after Kendrick? For real I'm asking... because he's the name that always get's thrown around as "you don't want none"
I'm scrolling down my FB timeline now just watching folks expose themselves.
"Nobody knew who Pusha was before this anyway!"
"He's just helping Drake sell more albums"
"Wait for Drake's response to go triple-platinum. He won't take disrespect about his mom and Dad lying down."
"Half of you guys that aren't deadbeats are friends of deadbeats, so how can y'all co-sign this?"
I am having the time of my life witnessing the meltdowns.

He's not saying Drake is OJ. He's using the beat which has this sample "my skin is black - it's yellow" to talk about Drake's multi-racial identity problems and calling into question why he did a photoshoot in black face.
It's perfect, really.
Because it's just a rap battle and it's corny, but I'd rather hear dope punchlines than mostly sloppy insults and exposures. The fiancee defense is an excuse to make it seem like Drake crossed the line first so he can go straight to low blows and it doesn't seem like he's fighting dirty.
Pusha has nothing to lose and everything to gain by going at Drake's head in his first response so it makes sense that he pulls out some of the more salacious dirt at the beginning while Drake is playing coy. That's why I said I think round 2 will be better.
Although, I think Pusha's strategy of going after Drake's credibility is smart and could be the thing that picks him apart after all is said and done.
Watching rap stans fail to properly assess a rap beef is like watching babies play QWOP.
To be fair to BillyMays , I can understand his viewpoint and it's always been something in contention in battle rap. if you're looking for intricate rhyme schemes, witty word play, and clever punchlines, then I think Infrared and Duppy are better, however The Story of Adido is harsher because of it's gossip nature of uncovering truths about Drake that the vast majority of people had no idea about and what they revealed about Drake himself. However it's done much more straightforward than the other two diss tracks.
Attacking Kendrick straight up is just idiotic. He has the natural talent, artistry and skill set that all legitimate rappers respect, AND he has the good will and blessings from the fans / media for his attempts at making a difference and getting his message across. Push was the perfect guy to attack Drake, he's been rapping about moving coke for decades and has no moral ground he's standing on for Drake to attack.
Man, those two dudes... guess Kendrick is untouchable for the reasons posted below:
People act like they want that but when Joe Budden went at Drake with that, no one cared - they responded with "he can't make a hit, the beat is trash" etc and totally dismissed the lyricism.
Pusha hit Drake where he is vulnerable. And if Drake wants to get rappity rappity, he'll outrap him too.
Oh you're definitely right, especially to a mainstream audience. Pusha's approach was probably his best approach to "winning" in their eyes.
It's not even weak af though.
There's plenty to unpack here.

Nah it came off as condescending. He was shooting at them both (referring to Ye' as 'that nigga', throwing shade with his song titles, calling them both enemies, and saying 'yall the spitting image that jealousy breeds). Ye' been paid respects tho so that was the nothing to even trip over.
