(0:00) - Introduction - “We haven’t seen a beef this intense since the days of Eminem and 50 Cent.” (5:43) - How Kendrick and Drake made the beef so accessible - “I don’t think he puts as much weight on whether or not he wrote the verse, as he does, he delivered the verse.” (13:15) - Noticing how the quality of Drake’s music has declined - “There is not a band or an artist worth their f**king salt that has put out that much music in the span of 12 months … And had it be good.” (17:28) - How J Cole’s short engagement with the beef damaged his legacy - “He gets to be ‘Third Person Shooter’ now.” (20:01) - Drake’s allegations Vs. Kendrick’s allegations - “I’ve learned to like Drake … And that was my mistake.” (27:39) - Analyzing their respective diss tracks and visuals - “When you put it into the context of beef … All of his punches were thin.” (33:25) - How Drake might recover from losing the beef - “Because he’s got a guaranteed deal, he can flail all he wants to … And as long as he’s getting gassed up, he’s gonna keep doing it.” (41:20) - Suggestions for Drake’s possible career change - “Maybe he goes down to Memphis with Dennis, his dad … And they make twelve-button suits together.” (45:10) - Analyzing Drake’s relationship with his biracial identity - “It leads you into f**king trouble … It leads you into making f**king AI videos of Tupac.” (52:34) - Questioning Drake’s motivations for escalating the beef - “Drake had to claim a whole a** child.” (58:40) - What fans need to remember about the Kendrick and Drake beef - “The absolute best response that Drake could have right now … Is rapping over ‘BBL Drizzy.’” (1:02:47) - Outro - “Imagine falling into a river, basically a life or death moment, to Macklemore.” Please, remember to share, rate, and review this podcast … Follow us on Tik-Tok, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @dimesinthedozen … Thank you for listening!
