Not everything is for you, you can just ignore it 🙂
But I want to be upset that the meaningless distractions of other people aren't the meaningless distractions I indulge in!
It started as beef but I don’t even see how it’s that meaningless at this point tbh. It’s kind of an ignorant “eugh, I don’t like these rappers!!” thing to say.
Kendrick’s often covered meaningful topics in his music, including how his mother was molested and generational trauma in the black community.
So it makes sense that he’s sickened by Drake’s actions, and it’s actually good that someone with a platform is calling him out on it and drawing attention to the topic.
Yeah rap’s never been my genre of choice but it’s as deeply political as punk and folk. I have nothing but respect for the demands for change often included in it.
This is closer to the accusations against R. Kelley than the Ye Swift beef
