    If you listen to euphoria and 6:16 in LA not thinking Kendrick was lyrically going crazy then your opinion on hip hop doesn't matter.
  • Flex HATES anything 2pac related or having to do with 2pac. It's just that simple!
  • @Knobadi
    It was a culture battle and at the core 2 guys that are polar opposites that don't rock with each other.
  • Wait... Beef needs purpose now? Since when? He hate that mf, that's the purpose.
  • I thought Pushups was alright, but none of Drake's tracks touch what Kendrick was doing. He made a concept album out of him, every style you can think of. Anyone saying this was close, let alone that Drake won, needs their head checked.
  • Of course flex had a problem with it cuz it didn't involve anyone from N.Y. and kendrick rode out for the coast flex been a hater
  • @Mandown21
    That was no rap beef. That was a slaughter. PAC would be proud of Kdot 💪🏾
  • @lovechild1024
    Funk knew the purpose of the Drake vs Meek battle that he instigated! Now he confused?? It's time for some of these old heads to pass the baton. If Funk gotta ask questions like that, he's no longer behaving like a leader. There are tons of info out here where he can do research. If you trying to facilitate a convo about the culture, say it plain.
  • So funk you don’t know the purpose of the beef and last month you said drake won without knowing the purpose of the beef. Is that what you’re saying? 🤦‍♂️
  • “Nah don’t like the west coast and I’m fine with it I’ll press the line with it”
  • @WORMbig56
    Nope it was Real vs Fake. It was an expose of the current state of the world we live in. Some of us live in the Real world. Some of us live on the Internet 🤷🏾‍♂️
  • It was simply a machine with ghostwriting and UMG vs pure talent if you don’t know what I’m talking about look up Vince Staples question about Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef . It’s on YouTube and basically the music industry changing everybody’s favorite artist is affected by this and Kendrick saved the mfing day but all Drake fans doing is saying we don’t care about who made the songs anymore we just want a song it’s the first type of beef of it’s kind is also allowing rappers to do deals where you can use AI and then you can get money on the side for it
  • Every time i see funk flex...i always think about that video when he crying about 2pac🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    The battle started when Drake and J. Cole tried to lil bro him over the years and as of recent with “First Person Shooter”.., basically said he was number 3. Kendrick said bet… did “Like That”.. and threw direct shots. The purpose of the battle was supposed to be lyrical, and Kendrick gave that option for Drake to take on “Euphoria” and even warned him. Drake chose to dig dirt on him and family instead when he responded on “Family Matters” ..”You tell me what I shouldn’t say, but fuck it my n** it’s already done”. Kendrick told him it was supposed to be a friendly exhibition within the game, but fucked up when he called out his family’s name on “Meet the Grahams.” But by then…Drake had already dug his grave. Drake’s best highlight of the battle was his catchy melodic phrase “Head to Delilah with all of my ice, head to Delilah with all of my ice.” But other than that, the significant shots from Kendrick on “Not Like Us” were just too much. The End.
  • East Coast just don’t know how to respond to West Coast Greatness! Thanks G.O.A.T.
  • Wasn’t Funk drooling over Push Ups?? Now he’s asking what was the reason haha
