The video wasn't bad, though he's still relying on bad co-writer Kevin Anderson to pick up his slack. This whole "other people picking songs for him to cover" for a large amount of money is actually resulting in some of his better content recently. And his remarks about JD Vance being spineless are just funny considering he thinks his anti-Gamergate tweets were the best thing he's ever done (and self-identifies as a wuss).
 
It's like no one gives a fuck about calling Drake a pedophile, even big corporations. It's an accepted part of mainstream culture now. The world has gone in very strange directions in the last decade or so
If you take it as Kendrick doing a MeToo on drake it makes more sense, especially with him being considering some king of rap, and some poet genius, him attacking a man on behalf of women everywhere makes sense, as much as people say otherwise, white knighting does bring about some great results to your reputation.

Also the only thing that came from the libel talk is making fun of Drake for being a thin skinned bitch. It’s amazing what happens when the Internet is united in hate towards something.
thats the other part, Drake has mainly been a punchline since the beginning while Kendrick was worshipped since the beginning, this is the black people equivalent of David Cross winning a comedy award for mocking Larry the Cable Guy. Like everyone in the media knew who was awesome and cool and who sucked and deserved your scorn, it was an easy lay up.
This is harder to do in the last ten years because hardly anyone seems to stick around long enough to build that sort of public presence.
the music industry is where the film/tv industry will be in a decade and where comedy started going in the last decade. the ability for anyone anywhere to make your product also means that unless you're already a huge name chances are you won't stick around and the amount of "stars" has fallen. You won't have a new Louis CK or Kevin Hart, where every year they're in a new hit movie and have a tv show coming out. the amount of comedy films and tv shows has fallen hard from the 2000s, and you can count the "breakout" stars of comedy on one hand. You aren't getting a dozen sketch shows and sitcoms on every channel like in the 90s, but you have hundreds of podcasts that make enough money to support some "comedian" you've never heard of, and you have TikTok famous weirdos who are paid enough to live a normal lifestyle without getting a real job. But the stars have all vanished unless you're grandfathered in.

Same thing with music, plenty of musicians who release albums and maybe end up in the spotlight for a bit before vanishing, but they're still making music with enough of a fanbase to keep them doing this as a career, but no one really paying attention otherwise. Especially in rap where you can make a dozen mixtapes no one outside of your fanbase has heard of.
In fact, the Liz Phair episode kind of fit that progression. Todd mentioned that people recommended her Self Titled as the Trainwreckord, but it was her most successful album, and it wasn't until two albums later that he decided that was the true "wreck". That—to me— looks more like losing steam as opposed to an abrupt crash.
She should have made the entire thing a rap album, middle age white woman rapping would have been a fun idea back then.
. Maybe something about Kendrick vs. Drake has triggered his sadistic millennial geek tendencies & he wants nothing more than to see the bad guy get his shit kicked in as hard as possible.
Thats a great take and 100% it, this entire rap beef could have happened in 2013 and played out exactly the same way, (outside of the superbowl performance and grammy wins) it really is millennial coded as fuck too, like its a storyline someone found from back then and decided to use now anyways. the critic's choice just destroying the popular artist and receiving all the praise. like how everyone tried their best to destroy Rebecca Black for friday.
That was also the video in which he doxed himself. Truly a momentous occasion.
two trannies and a tranny lover on it too. I hope the pendulum swings back so hard that when people talk about that video people instantly go "oh that was such an early 2020s video it hurts"
