Let’s get to the facts

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@StackingWs He previewed Squabble Up in the NLU video to build anticipation for a new project. That’s a rollout.

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@LexDiamonds__ He might not use them a lot, but the battle proved Drake is better at entendres than Kendrick.

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@myhumbleopinyun @Iggythetruth He “put him on” a bigger platform. Stop moving goal posts

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@StackingWs @KidKayDlamini How about botting, payola and pdf allegations? That did more for perception than the actual music

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@StackingWs @Madridhater It’s wasn’t “competition”. It was an orchestrated coup in the guise of a battle.

No “friend” pre-records diss records with career-ending lies.

The bars you’re referencing are about the subtle threats to expose Drake on Euphoria and 6:16. Not about friendly competition.

The worst groups on this app:

1. MAGA
2. FBA (the Black MAGA)
3. Kendrick Lamar stans (aka the FBA rap fans)

@ThatDudeMCFLY They said the same thing about west coast rap, then southern rap, now it’s our turn

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@Chi_Knows01 Your bias gets exposed under scrutiny. Had the battle taken place off DSPs, I agree they could say anything.

But it’s the music BUSINESS. Not an underground battle.

Ken could’ve dropped off DSPs. He did it twice last year.

The machine used illegal promo to spread a pedo song

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@bob690598 Just bc someone is mentioned in a lawsuit, doesn’t make it about that person. Kendrick was a pawn. UMG is the target. What don’t you understand?

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@Chi_Knows01 Your list lacks context and nuance. Do you agree with this:

1) Rappers should be able to say ANYTHING about ANYONE on commercial records without legal consequences

2) Labels can interfere in a battle to give one side the advantage, even using illegal tactics

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@Chi_Knows01 Initially you said rappers shouldn’t sue each other. I agree. But we both know Drake is suing UMG, not Kendrick. Now you’re trying to equate referencing Kendrick in the lawsuit with suing Kendrick. Wrong. The claim explicitly says he’s not culpable. Stick to the facts.

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@Chi_Knows01 @bob690598 This makes no sense. Whitney has nothing to do with Drake’s case. It’s not about who crossed the line first. It’s also not just about the lyrics. It’s about the label’s role in publishing it. Kendrick could’ve said anything had it not been published and amplified by UMG.

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@Chi_Knows01 1) UMG is a distributor, not a platform. They’re legally responsible for what they publish.

2) Drake initially leaked Push ups. Kendrick’s camp insisted on DSPs. This makes it a commercial battle with rules.

3) Show me a commercial record calling someone a pedo as a fact.

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@Chi_Knows01 @bob690598 If it was about Kendrick, why isn’t he suing Kendrick?

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@Chi_Knows01 @bob690598 @_kaysway_ When I say it’s not about censorship, I’m talking about artistic expression. Claiming someone is a pedo as a fact isn’t artistic expression. Telling listeners to harm someone isn’t artistic expression. You see the difference?

[Rashad Cooks @rashadskitchen]

@bob690598 That video has nothing to do with what Kendrick was saying. But if you’re so confident Drake is a pedo then you should be happy with the lawsuit bc his “secrets” will get exposed. Right?
