    To me it’s the most Pharrell way to diss someone without being hyper vocal, it’s the most subtle not subtle way to diss someone, to be that coincidental 🤣 the timing and the choice of song I mean you curate the music for it, and it leaves easy deniability while leavin easy acceptance.

    The internet is talking about it, Twitter is tweeting about it. If Pharrell doesn't come out and say NAH it's not a diss at Drake, then it's the same as being a diss at Drake. For Pharrell to not dispel the rumors of the diss, he's let people believe it's a diss and that's the same thing IMO.

      @@RobMarkmanI think that Pharrell is too big to care about us. He can sit at the top of the hill and watch the chaos ensue down below. Talking about a rap beef would just solidify it and he’s never done that because his career isn’t entirely rap. Until then, it’s just speculation and will be forgotten quick

  • @nickdijcj1
    @nickdijcj1 Місяць тому +10

    The thing that stood out to me as a clear reference to the beef was this:
    Pharell on Double Life: "Some of your dirt has come to light"
    Drake on Family Matters: "Your darkest secrets are comin' to light"
    I think P gotta be flipping his own shots against him there

      Could’ve just been fresh in his mind when he was writing. Sometimes things sound similar when they come out around the same time, subconsciously. Who knows🤷‍♂️ It would only hurt Pharrell’s career to speak on it because white moms would be going “oh lord, Pharrell was fighting with some rapper” and he’s got a ton of kids songs

  • @brycep49
    @brycep49 Місяць тому +12

    Beyond the lyrics that match with sneak-dissing Drake, one line that stood out on Double Life was "So, I'm sorry, but you have to choose a side" because those word choices back to back sounds familiar to "I choose me, I'm sorry" on Mirror by Kendrick Lamar. I don't think it's far-fetched for Pharrell Williams to sneak-diss Drake on a movie soundtrack, because Kendrick has dissed Drake on the Black Panther soundtrack album.

      You can't say the same about Pharrell. He's created waves. Not all of them were the greatest, but that comes with being creative, yet you can see Pharrell's happiness about them regardless.
      I use to rap, and some of my schemes and bars weren't executed the best, but I love that I created them.
      Drake is just happy to be a part of the creation of others. Hence, his many collaborations.

    I honestly do believe that this song is a shot at Drake, because a lot of the lyrics line up with his antics. I'm just saying. Especially "some of your dirt has come to light." Not to mention the first few lines of the song:
    "Hey, what are you hiding? What you doing when you're gone? Nothing wrong with being private, just make sure it ain't wrong." To me, this speaks to Drake's weird behavior around younger girls.

    Drake bought those hip hop trophies because he's a trophy hunter, like all colonisers are. Then he brags about owning some parts of hip hop culture, and disrespects the culture; because he'll never be fully accepted or be a part of it.
    Drake is an actor and everything he does is for clout. He didn't melt those chains, he had them on in his family matters vidéo. There's a difference between paying homage and taking advantage to brag and disrespect. Drake is doing the brag and disrespect.
