i like drake.
not only do i think he is sexy,
but i also think he is talented.
well he is beefin’ with kid cudi.
how random?
kid cudi recently checked himself into rehab for severe anxiety and depression.
in a recent diss track called “two birds one stone”,
drake goes in on kid cudi because of his mental illness.
he goes…
“You were the man on the moon, now you go through your phases
Life of the angry and famous
Rap like I know I’m the greatest and give you the tropical flavors
Still never been on hiatus
You stay xan and perked up so when reality set in you don’t gotta face it.”
even tho its in poor taste,
and this is coming from someone who suffers from depression,
but drake was dissin’ him.
does everyone know what that means?
they aren’t meant to be nice.
rappers also don’t pick and choose what will be politically correct.
they want to stick it to the pineapple for street cred.
just like nas didn’t pick and choose when it came to assaulting jay on “ether“:

that has got to be the most lethal diss track i’ve heard.
he had jay crying on hot 97.
so they get on drake for being too soft in his music,
but he goes hard and they saying he is going too far?
drake just can’t win.
i’m more confused why these two are even beefin’ in the first place.
how random?
lowkey: drake didn’t even go hard with that cutesy line.
it was weak as fuck for a “diss”.
Are y’all being serious? Since when are there limits in hip hop? Get out of here.
Its odd that you criticized jazmine sullivan for her tasteless remarks that she made about the dude that passed, but Drake gets a pass for kicking someone while their down thats trying to get help for depression and suicide thoughts…something that you have experienced and written about in previous entries.
my problem with the diss is that he picks and chooses who he wants to diss. like thats wack and it was a low blow. like when troy ave made fun of capital steez’s suicide. not cool!
I agree that Drake has definitely crossed the line with this one. It’s just some things that shouldn’t be said especially when we’re living in a generation where mental illness and suicide is at an all time high. As someone who suffers with depression and anxiety and bipolar l know how difficult it is to deal with. l’ve been there when at times you no longer want to be here and feel like ending it all. I used to like Drake but from this weak ass diss l see him in a different light than what l saw him in before. #NOCLASS
my thoughts exactly!!!
I’ve never been a fan of Drake really. I did love Aubrey on Degrassi tho. Lol. Mental illness is off limits to me. Especially when it involves suicidal thoughts. I thought Canadians were supposed to be more decent than that. Oh well. Drake isn’t going to lose fans because of it so he’s good I guess. I hope Kid Cudi gets the help he truly needs.
Canadians and Americans aren’t that different, in fact, we’re more similar than we are different, don’t get it twisted. Whether that’s a good thing or not, well, I’ll leave that up to you. A lot of American culture is spread out throughout our culture too so that affects things too. We’re not all polite and not all of us say “eh”. There are bad apples in every bunch! But yeah, still doesn’t give Drake a pass! That was an idiotic thing for him to say!
I believe you bro. It’s just very disappointing because from my understanding Cudi was battling mental illness and was even suicidal and for anyone to make fun of him for that is terrible.
Agreed!
I disagree with you.But let me preface it by saying I am not really a rap fan.But mental illness to me is comparable to physical illness,particularly since this other guy has spoken about his suicidal thoughts.To me it’s comparable to making fun of a rapper with cancer.It has nothing to do with being political correct,it has to do with human decency.Being compassionate and empathetic when someone is dealing with an illness that can be fatal.Depression like Cancer is sometimes a fatal disease.
I find it disgusting but like I said I am not a fan of most rap music.
Everything you said, and THIS is why I’m not a fan of rap these days. It’s absolute garbage requiring little talent or intelligence to produce. What happened to rap with a message? Or rather, an important message? How is making fun of somebody who is struggling even relevant in a rap? like wtf has music come to?
I actually thought for a second that Drake was above that, but then again, I haven’t listened to him in years bc i didnt like the trap direction he was going in so what can I expect. Idk what he’s doing anymore.
These “rappers” or whatever they’re trying to be called are a complete joke. Still waiting for a good one, until then, I’ll stick to the classics if I’m going to listen to rap.
I agree, that wasn’t cool. I just don’t understand why people are so heartless towards mental illness, it’s mean. Sidenote: Plus Kid Cudi is fine as fuck.
This is lower than the gutter…. there’s just some things that should be off limits mental health and ppls kids.. I see Drake in a different light and it’s not good..
