Yeah, look, I think a lot of people take this as confirmation that Drake is soft and Drake is weak. And I don't know how you come back from that as a rapper. I think this is something that's going to follow him around for a long time and is very damaging to his reputation, especially as any sort of untouchable tough guy.

Yeah, for sure. And in the meantime, Kendrick just can't stop winning. He put out a new album that builds off of the sort of fighting spirit of Not Like Us. It went number one. He's had multiple other hits. And just this past weekend at the Grammys... The Grammy goes to... The Grammy goes to... And the Grammy goes to... Kendrick Lamar.

Yeah, look, I was stunned. I mean, there's a shot on TV of Lucian Grange, the CEO of Universal Music Group, high-fiving Dr. Dre, Kendrick's mentor, while everybody's singing along to the A minor line.

I think there's a lot of layers to it. I think people love Kendrick Lamar. I think Not Like Us can be a really fun song for people to listen to. But I also think there's some pent-up frustration with just how dominant and Teflon Drake had been for so long. I think there's some vindication to this moment where this guy who was so untouchable was humbled.

And he was humbled by an artist who kept to himself and who was beating the drum for authenticity and truth and realness in a way that people always were a little suspicious of with Drake.

Yeah, I think it's a really huge question for Kendrick Lamar. Do you take the biggest stage known to man, you know, 100 million people watching all around the world and again celebrate the downfall of your nemesis? Are we going to collectively as an American people celebrate? Dance on the grave of Drake one more time is not like us going to be the centerpiece of this halftime show?

Or will he leave it to the side and say, let's move on? But I think people are really pulling for this song, like they want to hear it on the Super Bowl stage. And I think that speaks to how catchy the song is and how it sort of wormed its way into culture and people really relate to its message, even if they don't hate Drake.

But I don't think you can ignore the part of it that appeals to a sort of very American bloodlust. Like there's this sense of loving violence and winning and rooting for someone's demise. I think that says a lot about us as a culture, probably more than it says about Kendrick.

Yeah, look, celebrities are built up to be torn down all of the time. We get sick of people. We like to see them humbled. The only thing we love more than watching a rise is watching someone's downfall.
