Everyday I see these weird ass takes from folks about rap/hiphop, and I feel more and more we need to gatekeeper our culture. TOO many mfs think they have input or a valid opinion on our shit that they truely donāt understand, just consume and think they have say so
Drake: āthe jig is up! Iāll take 500k not the dinner!! Yall was really island hoping back then huh??ā
Jay z: WRONG CHARTS!!!!
Do yall see whatās going on? lol
Hook, line, and sinker = The JiG is up!
It took Drake two yrs to respond. He sat back, watched every move, every narrative, every player step back onto the board and then responded with precision.
I was actually worried JayZ wouldnāt respond. Had he stayed silent, people wouldāve called it a āboss move,ā and spin narratives would have elevated him for being āabove it all.ā
Instead, he took the baitš
Thatās what makes this so interesting.
For years, many felt J-FZ was part of the larger effort to diminish Drakeās +YM big 3's influence.
Kendrick, Pusha, Meek- different faces, same objective- Drake āeliminationā.
Yet when Drake tossed the bait into deep enough water, Jay couldnāt resist it. At some point, when all the other players fail, the person with the most invested in the outcome has to show their hand. J-FZās reactive response revealed more than mere investment; I hink it revealed his involvement.
People said Drake was cornered. Yet somehow heās the one who got everyone else to reveal their hand.
He stayed patient, played the long game, and got a reaction from someone who had every reason not to react, except he shows a vested interestšÆ
In life, the person who controls the reaction usually controls the moment-
Drake won the ābeefā before it even began.š½
Lyrics are overrated⦠no figurative language, no real double entendres or punchlines, sounds more like a poetry journal. Mis-remembering actors from movies is a big negative for me. Cause why nobody told you Joel Osteen wasnāt in A.I? š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ bro said āAny Continent, I can conduct atomic condiments.āš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ wtf bro? Dot just knows how to deliver rhymes well, but when you start connecting the dots, they never land. āJUST CAUSE UOU DONT UNDERSTAND HIM, DONT MEAN HEāS NICEā - Jay Z
@DripGrimes I donāt need a YEAT or Yachty feature on this album. Or a distorted bass beat from the new wave producers..
Give those songs to them for their albums or something.
Drakes Catalogue is AMAZING and extensive to say the least. No wonder why he goin so hard at UMG. The boy tryna own his shii, he knows his body of work is worth the fight
