Of course not. This is not proof of anything, but it's highly suspect. "Highly suspect" for what? Knowing that "OVO" rhymes with "hoe?" Are we suspecting that Kendrick has been banking tweets from 8 years for Drake punchlines on a future diss track? If Kendrick did plagiarize, it's not from banking tweets over years, it's from him or his associates spending a few hours recently scouring twitter for negative jabs at Drake and using stuff they found amusing. Not that hard to do using the search button.

Not that hard to do using the search button. The most recent tweet is from 2021. There are thousands of Drake tweets every day and the search algorithm is obviously going to favor recent tweets. These only got found because people were specifically searching for these phrases and found them - several days after "Not Like Us" came out at that. I suppose if Kendrick had a whole team of people sorting through thousands of tweets to find some amusing Drake punchlines they could find them, sure, but I also think it's just as likely that "Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles" is just a simple enough idea for two people to have.

The problem is, the pedo angle on Drake is very internet-based; centered on Drake texting Millie Bobby Brown and an incident with a 17 year old fan onstage. It's not something you just organically bake into a diss track based on personal enmities against Drake. He clearly did "research".

You don't have to be that online to have heard those things about Drake - and I can only imagine being in the industry more rumors are spread than we know of (hence Drake claiming Kendrick abused Whitney) - and Drake himself was the first one to mention the pedo angle on his own "Taylor Made Freestyle" so it was definitely somewhere he thought Kendrick could go in a diss. I must say, for someone who claimed not to be a Drake stan, you sure are rationalizing like one.

I must say, for someone who claimed not to be a Drake stan, you sure are rationalizing like one. I'm not a stan in the sense that I don't rubber stamp everything he does. I think his albums post-Scorpion have been weak. I just never thought Kendrick was even remotely as good a musical artist as Drake once was. All of the Pulitzer and Grammy talk doesn't move me. I can admit that Kendrick could have come up with these lines independently, though I don't believe it given the closeness of the wording to his lyrics. Just like I don't believe Drake is attracted to prepubescent children.

as someone who listens to very little hip hop and doesn't care about beefs, Euphoria is fucking amazing. The digs are nonstop and ruthless as hell. You can take your pick but I loved the "1v20" lines ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/30ulL7PvEvGt97femFHx.gif) (the ghost-writing jokes never get old)

I must've listened to it thirty times by now.

All I'm saying is, in my opinion Drake smoked Kendrick track after track. I've never seen a rap battle called in favor of one person so dishonestly because of hatred for the opponent. Kendrick's stuff is borderline unlistenable. Unmelodic, uncrafted, goofy voices. Just lame.

Any chance that this is just another instance where your taste doesn't align with the general public instead of people being dishonest?

This is manufactured. I don't even want to get into bots. In My Feelings song/challenge has like a billion views on youtube and they're saying Not Like Us Is being streamed more. Where? Kendrick is a bunch of bullshit.

Oh cool, so you've graduated from contrarian to crackpot now Look at the number of views of these videos. Do you honestly believe Not Like That is being played more than the song from the In My Feelings challenge was when it was released? Like, not only am I not a crackpot, but you have to be insane to think otherwise. That was a viral hit, with millions of views of videos of people jumping out of their cars dancing.

If you're talking about this: That is just going off Spotify. Billboard only pegs its official streams at 70.9m which is still a far cry from the 116.2m of "In My Feelings."

Hard to say there isn't an agenda against Drake when you see that.

I've met people with the Toronto mans accent, and it's repulsive.
