You only think that because being passive aggressive is normalized now. Beating around the bush and being indirect is low hanging fruit. S*** is like teenage girls sub-tweeting when their ex left them the only difference is that grown men today hype that s*** up
In other forms of entertainment it’s called subtext.
Wanting a rapper who writes for a living to dumb their s*** down and put names is like wanting the message of a movie/show/etc shoved right in your face.
If y’all want that then go listen to YoungBoy
And subbing doesn’t mean passive aggressive lmao
“Heard your new joint it’s embarrassing s***
You act like you love this American s***
Really the truth is you scared of the 6”
Rocky had just dropped Riot a couple weeks prior and he’s known for using a lot of American flag imagery, which he used in the video for Riot as well
nah
People acting hella obtuse in this thread
Drake’s really good at throwing jabs that may be ambiguous in terms of disses or not
But you have to remember, he KNEW that it would be perceived as a diss and let it fly
So if for nothing else, its a diss for that reason
On the surface it’s a light jab but a jab nonetheless
Pretty much

nah, man. If you are a grown man throwing subliminals all the time instead of going to the person and confronting him in real life then you‘re a hoe. Is 2Pac‘s Hit Em Up & Bomb First dumbing down? Is Ice Cube‘s No Vaseline dumbing down? are you even a hip hop fan? You can throw good bars while also directly adressing someone you have beef with don‘t you think that?
If you have a problem with someone then adress it and don‘t try to zig-zag this s*** in a passive aggresive way. Drake‘s diss is not really that much of a subliminal since he‘s directly referecing Rocky but it‘s 100% passive aggressive/"mind games" bs - and all that because Rocky is f***ing the b**** he couldn’t have? Now this is peak Twitter hoe behavior.
Nothing wrong with subliminals here and there when ppl already know you beef with someone/ who you’re adressing but 95% of your battle rap bars being subliminals and hiding behind gossip is just acting funny. Him throwing subliminals to X after he dies is b**** behavior man couldn‘t even say s*** to him when he was alive ready for beef. After that he‘s throwing jabs at Pharrell for no reason. And now Rocky because he‘s f***ing his b****? But then you go out crying on LeBrons interview because of Push‘s diss c‘mon man
I think it’s reaching to imply he was dissing Gunna on a non-Thug record. The lines being directed at Rocky makes more sense considering just a few weeks prior Rocky had those bars at Rolling Loud that people speculated were about either Drake or Travis
what
line goes "ur s*** was weak, u talk to the cops". if rocky doesn't talk to the cops then this isn't abt him. simple as
I mean Rocky had a highly publicized case of him throwing hands in Sweden, allegedly firing off a gun at A$AP Relli, growing up fighting all the time, etc. I doubt Drake would imply the guy is soft. I also don't think he cares about Rihanna as much as you guys suggest lmao its been years

“Dissing Pharrell for no reason”
Pharrell is literally the main reason why the Clipse and Cash Money beef started in the first place. Do your Hip Hop history.
And him dissing that X guy after he died only adds to his legacy for me. Biggie did the same stuff with Long Kiss Goodnight against Pac.
All rap disses don’t have to be direct. Some of the best disses Biggie and Jay-Z made were extremely subliminal.
drake doesn't drop names when he's dissing people
Well he didn’t say asap Rocky did he
Yeah cause Drake would diss rocky by calling him pretty flacko right
I mean that’s Rocky’s Nick name? So why wouldn’t he?
What else could drake say for y’all to understand any more clear it’s a diss like cmon he’s not gonna just rap “fuck asap Rocky”

I only read the first line of your post so forgive me if im tripping but bro its Rap if you rap you know how once you come up with a hot line you dont wanna let go its not that calculated. Niggas just come up with s*** and that's Rap
