ROLLINGSTONE.COM :: Can Drake Ever Escape 'Not Like Us'? (Article)
- Thread starter LevelUp
- Start date
The Cavs just played the song yesterday after winning game 7 against the Raptors.
He cannot.
And its his own fault.
If he would have took some time off, regrouped, got his best writers and producers into the studio to bang out a carefully curated and sequenced hit album with 1-2 bangers for singles he would have been fine,
Instead he filed a LAWSUIT, hit the courtside of NBA games looking/acting like a scorned female, released an awful R&B album with one of his B-List artists, put out some cryptic-just-for-the-sake of being cryptic bullshyt live streams and hopped on some incels podcast where he revealed he was afraid to even utter the boogie man’s name…
DRAKE made Not Like Us inescapable and tied to his legacy in the same way Jay-Z did when he went stuttering and stammering on the radio after Ether burnt his soul. But at least Jay-Z had the presence of mind to dip for a bit, get his mind at least partially right, and when he came “back” he had hits on deck and the hottest chick in the game on his arm. And he never even THOUGHT to file a goddamn lawsuit.

Nope, the L will forever be on his record just like Ether with Jay. All Drake can do is accept it and put out good music
Honestly, the better question is if Kendrick can escape it, since his biggest moments will always be attached to it.
I hate how mafukkas give a fukk about culture vulture opinion.
I can see if they have an article that is just information about an interesting topic you can't get anywhere else but fukk their opinion on any thing rap related.

Bruh you are literally obsessed with Drake.
I’m a Drake fan that actually listens to the Boy music but I’m not posting about the nikka everyday.
Almost everyday I’m on the Coli and there’s a thread on Kendrick or Drake - you in there talking about Drake. Creepy obsessed muthafukka.

Yes. With good music you can escape anything.

Let’s be real here. Not Like Us has probably been listened to more than every other hip hop diss song combined so no Drake won’t ever “escape” it. It will always be associated with him.
That being said there’s no tangible evidence it has affected his popularity. Iceman will be a huge album and if he puts out music people like he will always be a giant artist

Dude decided to sue for a diss song. He will never escape that part of the battle
