Kendrick + Drake = Bake (E279)

Can't believe this, the barger charger, and those cool tunnel dudes were all earlier this year

I admit that I was completely unfamiliar with both Drake's and Kendrick Lamar's music. I could not identify any of their songs. However, after this episode, I dove into both of their bodies of work. Drake makes boring rap songs that sound like they were made to be popular. Kendrick Lamar makes music. His songs are fresh, whip-smart, and righteously angry at times. I also listened to this episode on the day that the video to "Not Like Us" was released. That video is a work of art that complements that imagery of the song. Count me as a fan of Kendrick Lamar.

I'm not super well-versed in rap and this makes me think of the time in ~~~ 2016 when all my friends were talking abour how much they loved Jake Paul and I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone until I was informed they were saying J.Cole

Heard a little about this beef but credit to an informative and hilarious breakdown about what is going on between these dudes

Weird to think Travis and I were probably crossing paths pretty regularly and years later I'd binge the hell out of his weird show. Even paying them for it.

Did not expect a Pinback reference. Been a fan since their very first show opening for Black Heart Procession at Casbah

Honest to god, I knew who Drake was but I’d never actually heard any of his songs before this episode and all I can think about is how the fuck this dude became a world-famous rapper.

i find it funny that a multimillionaire musician like Drake attempted the old "Schödinger's Mastermind" gambit from the forums, where you claim that the negative reactions to your dumbass post were actually what was planned all along

How's Macklemore stack up to KL these days?

An oven at 500 degrees would be roasting not baking, try 350

I can't believe I am fact checking in the QAA comments but Drake was accused of getting ab sculpting liposuction, not a BBL. The BBL Drizzy hashtag was just a pejorative way of saying he's gotten plastic surgery.

I love Jake’s Trump impression 😂

The shooting was related to “The Weekend” and his beef with drake, not the Kendrick beef

"Mausol" tov for Travis' well earned rest, I guess 😴

The auto queue is so rotten on this one. Reminds me of that one from the esoteric fascism ep

I love you guys and have been Ride Or Die from like episode three and I’m not going anywhere, but please don’t ever make me sit through over educated white people talking about hip-hop again.

You guys need to do a Terrence Howard episode.

i think it's funny that the /pol/ poster is switching between triple parentheses and straight up antisemitic slurs. why is he alternating between dogwhistles and foghorns on the board that's already openly fascist

Sorry Liv and Julian. In the world of Trump impersonators there are no big three only Big Jackie.

This is the shortest amount of time Julian pretended to have no interest or insight on the topic.

I'm 100% Travis in this episode

There are some WILD takes in here. It's okay. You don't have to listen to the pod if you listen to "all music except hiphop and rap". Some legit criticisms in here. FD Signifier could have come on, or someone else. But the way fans have reacted to this is really worth examining. And Jakey loves this shit. Don't take it away from him.

Being a patron means I'm bottoming? uwu

J. Cole number one. Julien is high again. Also, did people forget about killer Mike? Cole and Mike, then who's the third? Not Drake or Kdot. Andre3000? People will hate me, but Eminem? It's just not Drake and Lamar.

Team Kendrick gets another victory lap

What’s a drake? Like a dragon? Like a Dragonborn? Like in the Skyrim?

Conflating sexual violence with kink is so 🤌 You love to see it

Jewify was right there, how did they miss it ‽ Actually probably best we dont give antisemites tips.

Rough hearing the hip hop takes on this one lol still love you guys

I didn't want to hear anything about this except from you guys. Thanks.

All I knows is I am far too white, cishet, and British to weigh in on any of this.

im sorry what the fuck did you just say about Cake

I haven't even started listening yet, and I know this one is *cursed*

On board starcruiser T'N'er, 6 periods out of Wolf 359, in transit to NGC 224. Navigator: "Captain, we're passing close to the planet Earth!" Captain: " Oh shit! Raise shields and lock the doors! Helm, all ahead flank!"

The hip-hop opinions on display here are insane and disgusting. “GKMC got me back into listening to hip hop albums”? You might as well say “I kinda hate this genre of music except this singular artist who also raps with Taylor swift and imagine dragon”

Drake asked Kendrick to feature on First Person Shooter (allegedly) and Kendrick said no. Then J-Cole mentioned him in the song anyway as though he was there, leading to the diss on Like That

They literally unironically made the “don’t diddle kids.” Song from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

The description for this episode is 🤌🏽🧑🏽‍🍳 *chef’s kiss*

Guys guys maybe next time have a guest... "big 3" didn't start in fps. It's been 15 years

I recently commented that QAnon was winding down. I think it’s more the case that it’s just evolving and moving into new territory. So many quotes here sounded like Q drops. Damn it. Anyway, episodes where Julian loses it and starts issuing death threats are always fun. Speaking of which, why does Liv always maintain an even temperament? Is it just the laidback Canadian mindset?

It’s so weird that casual misogyny is just a passing part of this episode.

Was bedridden while the spiciest Kendrick tracks Meet The Grahams and Not Like Us dropped during a livestream bake of Family Matters & co playing in background. Was like witnessing a public assassination in real time lol. - seems may be more cracks appearing in the dam, already heard disturbing allegations from women already surfacing around one of Drakes buddies, DJ academics if I remember correctly. Not pleasant stuff.

Cool cool cool just wasting the listening time with this episode. My $5 is well spent.

Meh

All of this music sucks

Love you guys and love Liv , BUT...ya'll couldn't find any black folks for this episode ?

My taste in hiphop is still stuck in the 80s and 90s. Winner: me.

Thinking Kendrick is a better rapper than J. COLE is a wild take....

Great episode. I’m not gonna lie, the claim that someone can be “too famous to be a pedophile” is about as weak of a defense as Drake could make. Maybe it would’ve flown two decades ago, but not today.

And of course Liv!!!

Totes. I've been waiting for this.

100% Team Kendrick. Here for it.

That intro had me clapping along for real, love yall

I honestly didn’t know The Beef crossed the QAA blood-brain barrier. Very excited. THEY NOT LIKE US THEY NOT LIKE US THEY NOT LIKE US

I was deep in the K ANON weeds.

I knew this would happen!!! I am so excited to listen tomorrow 🫶

An entire section about CDAN/enty lawyer- this episode was made just for me 🙏🥹

liv agar

I'm actually really happy to learn about this event from these folks. I would not have guessed it for melting material

Honestly the gang is struggling on this one - both on the facts and the analysis! Still fun though

Drop everything…. You guys: They banned GoonCaves!: https://www.404media.co/reddits-goon-cave-community-has-been-banned/

Oh hell yeah. I’m a pig for this kind of slop 👁️🐽👁️ Thank you.

Oh, God. Seriously? Why am I surprised? Just starting the episodes and 8:50 and I’m getting angry at Jake. How dare you talk about J Cole like that. I expect it from Julian and Liv… but Jake? I heard you said you were nice with it! You make references to your “near rap career.” I can see why it was near. I can’t imagine your goofy ass cadence. You obviously haven’t been listening to J Cole. He’s grown MASSIVELY as a rapper and producer. Yeah, he produces his own shit. Kendrick is DEFINITELY better than Cole, but Cole gets busy on the mic, no Diddy. Now that that’s over: Great episode so far!🫡 especially Jake. Good ass job. You’re rocking this, so far. Should have rapped your intro. Edit: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was after 808s and Heartbreak. That is a legit masterpiece. Lyrically, as well. Hope you’re not confusing it with Yeezus. Which sucks… but better NOW somehow. 😒 Liv & Travis? Always on point.

Haven’t listened yet probably the worst title ever

Lol, knew this was coming. Looking forward to it!

DrakeAnon 2024 is absolutely cursed shit. Kendrick might be a hotep but he's doing god's work making sure people are singing about how Drake is a creep in the club.

Liv’s too young for this beef

I live for Liv!
