Didn’t glaze over it just don’t care. Drake is a corporation and he’s going against two other corporations. Not our business. It’s not done out of good faith it’s done out of selfishness. Best of luck to everyone.
drake is the machine bro he’s benefited from the rigged game more than anyone. he’s doing this for himself he doesn’t care about helping the rest of the industry
True broh , and everyone is tryna act like he didn’t do this because Kendrick washed him , they tryna make it look like he lost because of UMG , he lost cause he couldn’t write a better diss track smh , I feel like glazers are just kids broh
He’s not doing to help the rest of the industry but if you are an artist you should prepare to gain from this, because if he wins the laws going to be beneficial for small artist. But drake it’s doing for money
@@arturmonteiro3253it’s actually not. I’m an independent artist and for example, I benefit from giving Spotify 30% of my royalties to push my shit to the top of the feed too. It’s buying ad space. This is going to fuck us in the long run if Drake wins
The optics are reality. This guy's being contrarian for his own viewership sake or hasn't been paying attention to the industry till just now. The "Media" isn't doing shit but echoing the culture because it has no other choice.
UMG is a multi-billion dollar, multi-national corporation, they would never allow themselves to be undone by their own artist. I have no doubt they would twist every legal loophole to evade accountability then smear Drake to destroy what little credibility he has left. If UMG really was colluding with the streamers, I'm sure the SEC would have a lot to say about it and the fines would be in the Billions. In that case, If Drake actually has proof, it would be in UMG's interest to pay Drake for his continued silence and avoid what would surely be the biggest scandal in the history of modern music.
thats what im questioning, if UMG was really colluding with kendrick then why were all the streamers hyping up family matters texting people like kai cenat to stay on stream? bro had most of the influence and social media on his side, he just couldn't believe kendrick outdid him its the reason we are where we are now.
@ Think bigger. It’s way bigger than just Kendrick if UMG have a provable history of collusion with streamers or media companies to give ANY of their artists unfair advantages in the market, that’s a far more wounding exposé.
the only thing this lawsuit petition enlightened me after I read it, is how I underestimated the fact that Drake has a shit ton of Yes-Men in his circle and how nobody around him genuinely has his back as they should. Ye has ton of those, but at least we see it at broad daylight, while Drake's lay in the darkness in form of light
No one cares because the whistleblower in question actively participated in the same system he’s now complaining about. Also when has the music industry ever been fair and has had the best interest of the artist and fan? Never.
I’d say drake has some confidence in this petition because he’s probably been aware of umg doing this to boost his own numbers. I’m not sure he will be able to prove they did this for K. He can suspect, but proving it is problematic.
You smoking sherm, drake wouldnt take the stand and spend millions in legal fees to fight umg knowing he himself is guilty this is hi stakes chess not kiss n tell.
Drake is the one who initiated the smear campaign, UMG released a music video and a song that alleges their own artist is a domestic abuser without proof, and that artist's wife who was called out by name claiming she's an infidel who slept with KDot's business partner. The same lack of protection for a priority artist Drake and his attorneys are complaining about he also benefitted from first the moment Family Matters was released. What stopped him from complaining about UMGs lack of protection for their priority artists from the release of defamatory content the day he submitted the Family Matters record to Republic/UMG? Was he going to complain if UMG made Family Matters popped and ''the whole fcuking club sing to it", was he going to reprimand the label for the "economic harm" experienced by another artist signed to the same company? Did Drake care about the potential economic, emotional, familial and reputational harm Family Matters could cause when he submitted the record to UMG? This is a B!TC# move
Beef aside, umg was never going to give Drake more than $400m because interest rates are so high so less consumption going forward, Drake’s age making him creepy if he continues making songs for gen z, general trend away to the country genre and UMG would rather invest in new artists or Al (if all that sells are formulaic melody 🎵 or lyrics)
He knows the rules of the game and now he's trying to use his knowledge of practice to help his case. The song is a bop end of people who don't like hip hop like the song so Drizzy is reaching
We already knew record labels were shady. Problem is they've been that way for YEARS & Drake has been the BIGGEST recipient of it. They were not going to give him over 400 million bcz his music has been on the decline for a long time they know what they've been doing for him & what he really sells & streams without the stimulus package.
His music has been on the decline?his music has been doing well numbers wise and he just sold 400k first week went 2x platinum and did a 200m grossing tour…he deserves to want more (and don’t tell me about quality of music because UMG don’t care about that all they care about is album sales and money)
You made great points in this video bro, but just looking at these comments is exactly how you can tell most people can’t look at the bigger picture bc they’re focused on their dislike for Drake lol
Exactly!! I’m reading most these comments like “did you even watch the video?!” Cuz a lot of these arguments people keep bringing up was addressed in the video several times. It’s a shame that people can’t look at the broader picture of this situation and see what pay was really saying.
I feel like everyone knows it’s true it’s just corny he waited to be on the other side to say something if u think big music isn’t doing stuff like that u just delusional
He’s ego got the best of him. In the middle of a negotiation he shouldn’t go against anyone let alone Kendrick Lamar because before the beef they would’ve give him whatever he wanted. His numbers were that great. But his ego told him “go for it, Kendrick is not that amazing” and I’m not saying his claims are not valid.
if Drake actually cared about this, he would’ve done this back in 2018. But he didn’t because he was directly benefiting from it. Now that he’s not, he wants to cosplay as a martyr. This narrative that Drake is “helping” smaller artists is so corny. You’re trying way too hard to be different. Even Legal Eagle (an actual lawyer unlike you) tore apart this whole thing showing that Drake is just trying to help himself, not smaller artists. This is an extremely corny video just made to be different ngl
If you actually watch the video I state multiple times drake is 100% just doing this for selfish reasons he’s not a martyr but get your comment off Ig.
This is terrible for independent artists. I’m an independent artist and for example, I benefit from giving Spotify 30% of my royalties to push my shit to the top of the feed too. It’s buying ad space. This is going to fuck us in the long run if Drake wins. He’s suing for some shit that all artists, including him, benefit from.
The premiss of this video is wild. You must not know anything about the music business. Because what Drake is accusing UMG Spotify of doing isn't illegal it is a function Spotify put in a couple years ago for anyone that uses there platform to get an extra push they have to give up 30% so what are you talking about.
Discovery mode doesn’t account for putting your song in unrelated places that are unrelated. Like if you’re listening to the Beatles and not like us queues up.
I’m not much of a lawyer but to me it doesn’t make sense how Drake could accuse them of something and then they have to show evidence of them committing what he accused them of like isn’t the accuser supposed to come up with the evidence?
I feel like all the “he’s benefited from the machine” comments are short sighted. Even if his numbers were boosted in the past we never seen a smear campaign that was pushed by the entire industry like that before. Of course he would speak about it now if the label is trying to destroy and tarnish their own artist smh.
Drake was warned by Kendrick, yall forget that.. he brought up pedo allegations first on taylor made.. yall overestimate the man tryna make him seem like he’s a victim

(And kendricks label charging lower rates vs drakes label its just a business ops. All big corpos are rigged but the only fix is insider whistleblower/govt antitrust but realistically this isnt go anywhere
if Drake wants to win this lawsuit to "change" the music industry for "selfless" reasons, he should hand out his latest "hits" to be invistigated. Not Like us was an instant hit that we haven't seen in years. The timing of that song release alone was a wildcard to get the numbers it got I don't believe in botting in the beginning, later or inbetween the songs drop. Bro was boasting abt his 360 deal for two years straight, now all of a sudden he got beef with his label, bruh this dude get lamer by the miunte smh
Sony killed MJ to get to his Masters.....don't think UMG are gonna lose, Drake's case isn't going to do anything. I'm not being a doomer, I just know UMG would pull everything they can to stay on top....and Drake isn't going to make ANY change unless he a executive 🤷
i think that drake wants to win this lawsuit because it would boost his public opinion favor. if he wins, he will make the lives of thousands of artists so much easier and it will be seen as a victory to take down such a huge company.
It's really a choice to claim that opposing opinions to this have to do with being paid by Umg when that is the general consensus due to most of us having common sense and also knowing about discovery mode, some random on dj ak (a stan and Kendrick hater) platform being used as a reliable source, the clb search glitch that was proven to be because it's in the lyrics, the very convenient timing and that the beef result was not determined by the numbers so his stock culturally was going down regardless. If they used that to their advantage for negotiating his contract that is just smart business. He willingly engaged in that beef no one forced him to, he was actually the antagonist begging kendrick to drop something against him. So acting like the whole thing is a setup just sounds dumb. We just have the discernment to see thru the bs, that's all.
First of all, Kendrick release Not like Us on his Instagram which get picked up by UA-cam like you ,then It goes to the stream, so you need to make this stuff. Makes sense to me ,or you're just talking like everyone else.
