I'm saying dude literally said "diss me you never hear a reply for it" damn near out the gate.

This beef started out as Push vs Birdman and Wayne. People who blatantly diss them (like Jay-z or even non rappers like J Prince) usually get a pass to say whatever they want without him responding or getting involved.

With Tyga...I get it because that guy was YMCMB part of that "family" and publicly Tyga is indeed a certified hitmaker regardless of what you think about his rapping ability...but he certainly got spanked and pretty much did no da.damage.

Common...that man is an established legend not just rap in general but specifically has a hall of fame level diss track in "bytch in yoo" and was extremely direct...and somehow his shyt came and went and nobody cared

With Meek I get that he said some shyt that will never go away about the ghostwriting thing. Meek is the first and only huge rapper with a real spot in the industry and his career almost died overnight. And Meek can actually battle. I absolutely think that War Pain was fire...yet brushed off

With Chris Brown...he is not really a rapper but he does rap and had for several years. That incident in the club was very publicized and everyone knew what it was about...and the freestyles and guest spot on the Jeezy RIP verse kinda came and went

The Kendrick and Jay situations never got direct and kinda just mysteriously ended and turned out to be just friendly competition and mutual respect.

Joe Budden who's known for having killed Game/G unit on wax among others (Ransom and Saigon) looked crazy when he dropped his disses, was laughed at and got so upset that he couldn't even do his hot 97 interview for rage and the machine. Had kids throwing rocks at him at the house. It practically feels like him not getting a response was the last straw that made Budden retire.

I get someone like Jae Millz who has no real career and basically known as a battle rapper jumping in. From Ross to Game I've seen all kinda people jump in for Wayne in the past...but I thought HE was too big to do that...especially at that time in his career.

I'm not surprised Pusha won or even made him throw in the towel. I'm surprised Pusha even got his attention like that without even mentioning his name, never making a tweet like Cudi or Meek, and it never being over a chick or anything. How an artist who didn't sell records, who was not really on the radio like that really got MULTIPLE disses aimed at him from the biggest artist in hip hop. Especially when generally speaking artists who initially don't get dissed tend to never get a response.

Drake was a huge fan of the Clipse when he was coming up so he himself would take anything Pusha said seriously enough to not just completely dismiss it.

Pusha learned from the mistakes of those who went at Drake in the past. He realized that for someone like Drake you can’t just hit him with bars like Budden, can’t question his writing ability or skills as an emcee like Meek, instead you have to go at his overall image and character.

This generation loves gossip and fukkery so revealing the whole thing about Drake’s secret son helped capture the interest of the casuals

The blackface exposure got the interest of the woke crowd.

Finally exposing that Drake has a secret porn star white baby mama hit Drake’s black female fanbase and made some of them question whether he genuinely fukked with them or if he was just pandering to them

it was just an all around brilliantly crafted diss that’s accessible to the casuals while having enough bars to satisfy hip hop heads.

Having said all that it didn’t even come close to ending Drake’s career. Dude is just too powerful. But similar to ether it revealed some weakness for someone who up to that point seemed untouchable, on some 300 Xerxes “I made the God king bleed” type shyt lol

my nikka, thus Covid got you overthinking-thinking

low tier, high skilled MCs will beat a lot of high tier to mid-highs skilled MCs.

Nas was a lower tier (in regards to mainstream success) compared to Jay at the time being but when the God dropped Ether, we know the results.
