I know it’s their sub but their content and personalities aren’t that interesting

Just my experience, I even posted that it came and went like a goofy in the past but I no longer believe that

You guys are forgetting the clutch moments that Bean displayed over the years.

Kobe has the most game winners AND buzzer beaters in NBA history. This has to mean something.

Bron’s been on record saying how great of a work ethic Bean had, which means it’s even better than Bron’s already great work ethic.

Kobe slept less to get work in which might have been sub-optimal but that sacrifice has to mean something. Not even Bron sacrificed his sleep to get work in. That’s respect 💯

And we all know about Mamba Mentality. That stuff is legendary. Mark Jackson said it best when asked Kobe’s mentality vs Bron’s BBIQ.

“Kobe’s mentality would make you succeed in life no matter what field you choose to go to. You will be the best version of yourself”

A basketball legend like Mark Jackson praising your mentality and choosing it over Bron’s lauded basketball IQ has to mean something.

This is why I have Bean in the very upper echelon of basketball players and human specimen in history of mankind

Mamba forever

They are not the same.

Exhibit A: In MMATBS, Kenny says he slept with white women as “retaliation for his ancestors” while cheating on his partner. Holy cope

Exhibit B: in FATD, Drake says “give me some head, you gon’ glow up a bit”. He also says he bought a body via his favorite surgeon Jung, giving women the work that they always wanted.

Drake clearly understands that it’s a win-win if he gets enjoyment and the women get what they want.

On the other hand, the so called Pulitzer Prize winner and perennial BET darling Kenny Duckworth doesn’t understand economics (he says he didn’t take economics in school in “Wesley’s Theory”) so he doesn’t understand the concept of win-win.

Kenny doesn’t satiate his insecurities and the women are left unsatisfied as well. Lose-lose situation

They are not the same.

Only then will people realize Drizzy Drake always tells the truth

“Kendrick just opened his mouth”, y’all know the rest…

The subliminals that Drake crafts, you know Drizzy has a dedicated intel team working in the background researching opps’ every move

“I am a war general, seasoned in preparation / My jacket is covered in medals, honor and decoration”

How does Drake come up with these lines? 🥶

Unlike the other post that said Complex says SOS > TPAB, they are actually saying CTRL > TPAB which is a big difference.

CTRL was my first exposure to SZA and one of my favorite, most-played albums. SOS is not very close to CTRL in terms of impact or statement as an artist.

I have no issue with CTRL > TPAB, and I'm both a Kenny and Drake fan.

In my humble opinion, DAMN > GKMC > CTRL > TPAB is the fair ranking.

Now if we include Drake's discography,

I have Take Care and NWTS battling with DAMN and GKMC, as they are better than CTRL and TPAB.

Thots?

It's not like Kanye's opinions on racism or ridiculous topics like that.

Kanye legit beefed with Drake over many years and yet calls him the GOAT rapper, when music is the field that Kanye is the most knowledgeable and credible about.

Why are Redditors so opposed to this idea that Drake is a GOAT-level rapper, if not THE GOAT rapper?

Drake's pen goes crazy and Kanye said he wished he had Drake as a ghostwriter to pen all his raps.

Versatility, hitmaking, flows, vocabulary, cadence, tone... Aubrey really has it all

Remember when Jay-Z asked Drake to give Cole a #1 hit and asked him to write several of Beyonce's songs? This is Jay-Z we're talking about with one of the most lethal pen, and Jay-Z also tried to check Drake and lil bro him by exchanging subliminals.

Jay-Z, the OG, was threatened by the ascension of young Drake. Jay-Z was really pressed lol

Jay-Z never reacted like that with Kenny or Cole because Jay-Z knows they are not the one. Drake really is THAT guy.

1. Checks (Nike) over Stripes (Adidas)

Drake famously had an Adidas launch that was ruined by Pusha T's "The Story of Adidon". Even the name Adidon refers to this launch.

Drake worked with Nike instead from them on causing this iconic line.

Nike logo is a check symbol, while Adidas logo are the three stripes.

2. Cheques (money) over stripes (street cred or respect)

We know that a lot of rappers talk about street or gang activity. Drake is saying y'all can keep your street cred, I want real money instead.

Money > respect, which honestly makes sense. Who cares what others think of you when you're succeeding and thriving.

3. Cheques (cash) over stripes (credit card stripes)

This might be a reach but make perfect sense when thinking of the point above. Check = cheques = actual money, whereas Stripes = street cred = stripes on a credit card.

Again enforcing what Drake always talks about. Don't talk about assets or stocks or net worth, show me the cold, hard cash or the numbers on your actual bank account.

Y'all got fake money with "net worth" or "assets". Meanwhile I got cold, hard cash in my bank account.

The amount of flex in such a short simple line is mind-boggling; how did Drake fit that triple in there. He really friends with Chef Curry for real

Greatest scorer is Ronaldo. Messi might pass better but that doesn’t make him better than Ronaldo who won at every top league unlike Messi who failed at PSG and went to MLS right after

Instead of conquering feminine women who are physically weaker in general, you are dominating other males who are strong yet choose to be tamed by you and acknowledging you as the top dawg.

Isn’t that as alpha as you get as the epitome of maleness?

At least, I think so. Thoughts?

May I know the prompt used to generate the image?

I’ve always been interested in image generation via AI, and I would love to get your prompt on that image for research

It doesn’t matter if you don’t actually think he’s the GOAT. You have to argue it convincingly to save your own life.

What arguments would you use?

The #1 albums and songs that blow out any Hip-Hop competition?

Drake’s effortless and luxurious flows?

His versatility of rapping and singing, as well as being able to hop on other artists and simultaneously fit in to the song while outshining the other artists?

Drake’s pioneering of his own style and writing structure that has captured the heart of billions?

Which argument would you prioritize?

"Allegedly, they figured out that I'm the secret recipe" - Lil Yachty on The Secret Recipe

Lil Yachty bigs himself up by calling himself the secret recipe, working behind the scenes on collaborations boosting other artists' work, including Drake. The Secret Recipe came out in September 2023, and Drake's For All the Dogs released soon after in October 2023.

Yachty has many credits on Drake's FATD, including a feature and producer credits on "Another Late Night", producer credits on "What Would Pluto Do", "Away from Home", and "Polar Opposites".

Because albums take a while to craft, Yachty probably had Drake's FATD in mind when using that line.

On the Scary Hours 3 deluxe version which adds 6 additional songs to Drake's FATD, Yachty again has producing credits on "Red Button" and "The Shoe Fits".

One of these 6 songs is "Wick Man", where Drake says the line in the title of this post, "Boat say he the recipe, I must be the key ingredient".

Do you guys think he's giving Yachty credit here, by acknowledging Yachty's collaborative talents, or is it the opposite where Drake's checking his lil bro by saying I'm the reason these collaborations work?

I personally think Drake is the King of subliminals, the Petty King, so I think it's him telling Yachty "don't get ahead of yourself, I'm Drake lil bro, you need me, not the other way around".

If this is the case, it actually gives me goosebumps how he flipped that line to check the lil bro.

Thoughts?

By consistent, I mean consistently great quality of work with the numbers to back it up

Is there anyone out Drake'ing Drake?

I think Iceman is really Drake's MBDTF, it's that great

Honestly, I think Drake been doing Wilt numbers with the women.

How does he not get POZZED during all those numbers of intercourses?

Drake had a kid so he's probably not using protection 100% of the time.

Or was he POZZED then cured it?

My favorite game franchise

Internet usage? Like no VPN, no Anti-virus programs to prevent Trojans?

That would be wild as such big content creators

Also, do you think they have unprotected sex together?

And calling each other PDF and wifebeater is some sick inside joke?

They just did it for the love of the game, and took turns dominating the charts for their new releases.

I would love that so much because these are my favorite artists. I would love to see them publicly make out and acknowledge that the 🥩 was fake

I heard from Drake’s inner circle that a guy named Aubrey Graham writes all Drake’s raps 👀
