1. This is a deeply embarrassing time for Jimmy.

2. Unsurprising, it’s an absolute beast of a beat

3. Drake in tears desperately trying to find a mole in Kendrick’s camp

4. Did anybody honestly think Aubrey would win this?

5. I really love a lot of Lamar’s music, but this diss track kinda sucks. I’m sure I’m in the minority with this opinion, but Lamar seems kind of rabid. Like I get a Manson Family kinda vibe from him these days.

6. I’m not sure if this is premature, but this really seems like Drake’s Icarus moment.

   Drake really doesn’t seem to realize how lucky he is to have been able to ingratiate himself with the hip-hop community for as long as he has. I’m always reminded of the rap battle in 8 Mile – being named Clarence and going to a private school were (and still are) reasons why, despite being black, someone would be rejected by the hip-hop community, particularly by those who truly live and embody that lifestyle.

   How the actual fuck a half-Jewish, half-black, Canadian former teen actor from an *incredibly* affluent area of Toronto managed to play the part without incessant ridicule for 15+ years will forever be a mystery to me.

7. Lemme hear you say OvHoe

8. Billboard call the amberlamps

9. Not suprising tho,im gonna call it,this was the best diss in the rap genre since maybe the days of Tupac

10. His success will *always* be tied to drake in one way or another.
