I think the drake thing was great. Mass mania ridiculous mix of joy and hate and childish spite and the brute forcing of it into all culture by the collective decision to keep reveling in the celebratory feeling and amplifying past the point where it seems to barely have any connection to the original victory. And it's all to call a man a nonce. Which I also think is part of it, calling someone a nonce isn't really in the American bullying lexicon and you all know it's really really fun to call someone a nonce so I think part of the mania is Americans discovering this new toy.
Do you use the word nonce over there?

the best thing about rebranding this series as "favorite rap" rather than "best rap" is it affords me the freedom to put this particular song at #25 and not at #1 which, by any other zeitgiest barometer measurement, is where it should objectively place. as someone who has spent the past fifteen years begging everyone to turn off drake's godawful dogshit music you'd think i'd be able to take some pleasure in his alleged downfall but i've been completely unmoved by it. for one because we all know he is going to be right back in ten months with the worst song you've ever heard everywhere but also because there was not one point in the battle where kendrick just flat out said that the man makes godawful dogshit music. instead he just went all in on the qanon-tier anyone i don't like is a secret pedophile and i'm the only person alive who can uncover their crimes conspiracies because that is the only critical lens left for americans. i mean, he could've straight come out on the his hair wack his gear wack his jewelry wack tip and still fully decimated him. or alternately he could've played it cool and just brushed dude off with complete nonchalance. why do i suspect that this single shot from one of the more talented lyricists residing in the colonized territory of atlanta stung aubrey harder than anything kenny had to say: "do you really think i need a fuckin drake verse?"​
on the other hand i cannot deny that "not like us" is a good song, sure. it's maybe the first kendrick record since "alright" that works better as an actual song than as a ~performance of excellence~ (or catharsis). it's exactly the sort of song he should've been making back in 2017/2018. you know, back when stinc team and sob x rbe were peaking doing similar shit with only a fraction of his visibility. as a matter of fact the ratchet/jerkin/hyphy lineage that "not like us" nods to has been the dominant sound of the west coast for the past twenty+ years now, so its both satisfying to hear it manifest a huge crossover hit and frustrating to think that most of the country was only willing to finally and fully embrace it after it got an express blessing from the world's only pulitzer prize winner/amateur pedophile hunter.​
here's a free thinkpiece for someone more boring/bored than me: drake's the patron saint of millennial narcissism and kendrick of millennial anxiety and the whole beef has been a product of them both careening towards their most chaotic incarnations as the universe decenters millennials and turns us all into paranoid washed boomers. i don't know i'm sick of thinking about this shit.​
