00:00What say you to Drake's running

00:02to court to battle not like us?

00:04Yeah, it's not, it's not playing

00:06well. And like to be totally

00:08honest, even though I'm known as

00:10like a big Kendrick guy, but you

00:12know, always been a huge

00:14supporter. I, I kind of crowned

00:16him the goat, you know, over a

00:18decade ago. And, um, at times I

00:20was being hyperbolic and then at

00:22times it's just completely true.

00:24He just has been that great. I,

00:26I'm not even enjoying this like

00:28this sort of pile on is not

00:30particularly fun. And the weird

00:32thing is, I don't know who Drake's

00:34talking to. Like, I just, I don't

00:36know who's making the suggestions

00:38going all the way back to using

00:40the AI Tupac to the

00:42begging of Kendrick Lamar. Like

00:44please, I want this action.

00:46It's just been one thing after

00:48another. So then I'm going to come back

00:50and I'm going to do a song with a

00:52traditional Mexican artist. Then I'm

00:54going to do a project with party

00:56and nothing seems to add up to

00:58a bounce back guys. I don't know

01:00what he's thinking. Honestly, you

01:02know, it reminds me of this saying,

01:04you know, who are you going to believe

01:06me or your lion eyes? I mean,

01:08everybody he's talking to out there

01:10loves the song. And now they're

01:12saying he's trying to explain to

01:14people it's really not as popular

01:16as you think. And that seems just

01:18so missing the Mark that

01:20or at least, or maybe saying

01:22yes, it's popular, but it didn't

01:24make it popular. Organic. That's

01:26not the way people view this. And

01:28it just seems to me that even with

01:30the rap battle, that's not fatal

01:32for him. But to tell people

01:34it's almost like the election. You

01:36don't tell people you don't know

01:38what you're thinking. You don't

01:40know what you're talking about. It's

01:42not the way you think you don't

01:44like that song. I don't. Yeah, I

01:46don't think that I think that could

01:48be really devastating to his

01:50career. Is that, is that

01:52one takes a Harvey. And by

01:54the way, I was going to say, and I

01:56don't mean this to cause like political

01:58turmoil. It's actually is a very

02:00Trumpy and thing that sort of

02:02doing like, no, no, no. Trust

02:04me. It's almost like projecting.

02:06It's almost like maybe you're

02:08the kind of guy who's used bots

02:10at different points and you've played

02:12kind of games like this. So you're

02:14suggesting it of someone else. Listen,

02:16and I don't know that to be true. I have

02:18no idea if Drake's ever done anything

02:20like this, but I'll tell you one thing.

02:22I know Kendrick Lamar has never

02:24operated that way and that's what

02:26makes this hard. Kendrick Lamar is

02:28the guy of impeccable integrity.

02:30And so this doesn't play very well.

02:32Now, interestingly today, the

02:34follow-up suit, the defamation

02:36suit, saying that

02:38that is the only suit there

02:40ever should have been. And if you

02:42were going to do it, it should

02:44have been immediate and it should

02:46have been Swift. Now it's going to

02:48in this whole other thing that looks just like sour grapes.

02:52If the claim Drake is making

02:54is that all of these different things

02:55that Kendrick Lamar did,

02:57from running up the numbers supposedly

02:59to the supposed defamation,

03:00all of those things are costing Drake.

03:03They're causing him to lose money.

03:05I would argue that the existence of these lawsuits alone

03:09will cost him more money long-term.

03:11I think Drake had a huge opportunity.

03:13I would have taken this moment

03:14that definitely went bad in the moment

03:17and responded with the greatest rap record he's ever made.

03:20To me, that would have been the thing.

03:22You've always been an underrated MC.

03:25You've always wanted to have people believe

03:27that you're a great MC,

03:28but the problem is, guys,

03:29he's always too in love with being popular in the club

03:32and on the radio to lean into the rap stuff.

03:36This was an opportunity to respond

03:39with a devastating rap album with high-level producers,

03:43with some features of people who still support you,

03:46and you deliver your best body of work to date.

03:49That would have been the response.

03:51What we have gotten has been

03:52like the complete opposite at every turn.
