namedroppin in such a way in hip hop is always disrespect Push just aint study up on da game to see that
Lol... what are you talking about youngster? People have namedropped without dissing for years. Parrish Smith wasn't dissing Rakim when talked about people saying they sound like the R.
I wouldn't say Kendrick was dissing. He singled out artists he respected and saw as peers and it was a competitive challenge.
BUT if any of those artists did feel dissed, the proper traditional hip-hop response is to write a diss rap.
Now as a Drake stan, here's the part where you tell me how doing emotional interviews airing out your vagina over your feelings being hurt instead of going in the booth and responding is hip-hop.
