Imagine thinking you’re superior because you identified a beat was simple and not everything on it is super complex. Nobody is saying it’s a masterpiece. It just hit the right spot in the diss and became incredibly popular for good reason. It has loads of catchy quotable parts and did the job it was supposed to do.

Please do, it would be amazing if caf thread resulted in a birth of a great artist.
PARK LIFE
i’ve started out by sexually assaulting minors, just waiting for the hip hop skills to come in any day now.
It's a hit piece, it was never intended to be a masterpiece. Just a good track to take the piss.
Just curious and not intended to cause offence: do you make your own music or have experience of previously making your own music?
he’s yet to respond to my diss track.
@VeevaVee, smells of wee
kendrick’s not his cup of tea
is he like diddy?
diddle them did he?
no coming back from this ditty.
Get with the times, Diddy and R Kelly haven't been popular for years. It's all about praising Hitler now.
don’t know what to tell you pal…
If you've been on it, then I'm sure they're about to come any day now.
Drake liked this post so much that he created the anti-diss track. The praise-track.
Give this man the 2026 superbowl half time show!
You're overthinking this man
Ether has a god awful beat (I hope Ron Browz stubs his toe every day for the rest of his life) and a bunch of lines that aren't accurate/didn't age well, and it's far from Nas' best work. But it did the job as a diss track. Very well. Can do the same breakdown for No Vaseline.
The best ("objectively" in terms of beat, lyrics, precision) is Jay-Z's Takeover. But he lost, so there's that. Or maybe Common's diss at Ice Cube. That one ended in a stalemate.
There's a lot of reaching on NLU but it did it's job, superbly well. Does it matter that the colonizer line doesn't make any sense? It doesn't have to. Personally I enjoy Euphoria more, but that wasn't a kill shot.
The current US regime would never tolerate an open racist like him
I agree on that just because of how big it’s become and that one line.
My bad, didn’t realise we aren’t allowed to criticise anything in this thread then respond to any quips from Lamaris.
Genuinely not far off the quality of writing.
Anyway, nice to see it’s sparked some chat from a few people who actually know something about music. Superior beings, as I like to call em.
The fact that that’s what you took from that says it all
literally nobody said you can’t criticise it. You’ve made that up.It’s your tone. It’s fine to not like it but stating that you don’t because “I like good music” is a bit pathetic. Or wummy. Seems like the latter.
Was a response to the quips and that was a joke. You don’t need to be this rattled over it.The fact that that’s what you took from that says it all

Responding to stuff doesn’t always make someone rattled. That’s such a basic word to use. So simplistic. A better person would’ve said exasperated.
It’s more the tone
Euphoria was better than Not Like Us but, Not Like Us was so damn catchy. Either way, it won the battle.
Drake's family ties was good too which has been lost in the beatdown he got

Since you're talking about your opinion on a piece of music; yeah, it is subjective.
Objectively incorrect. Wasn’t an opinion. Was fachts. It’s factually a poor quality track. But it did diss Drake, so there is that.
I haven’t yet weighted in on the subject.
Notice how Em never even once mentioned Flight of the Conchords in a song? He knew they were the mother flippingest.
I’d be stoked if they gave up on the glitzy halftime shows and used a champion marching band with a drum line.
he's saying Drake steals from black culture
hyperbolic but it's in a dis track
do any exist?
Well I certainly didn't hear it on Heart or Absolute
They played the Scofield version
Meet the Grahams was easily the most savage track. Tbh, I thought Kendrick took it a bit too far by wishing him dead. And that too while speaking to Drake's mother.
