Exactly. A foreign White boy tryna tell a Black American he ain't Black.... all while being a GUEST in Black American culture. That shit gets hands and feet put on you in real life. How are you gonna be racist to one of the OG’s of the culture that you’re trying to get acceptance from?
he is not speaking on black culture, he is explaining the reason drake said what he said, he also broke down euphoria, where kendrick said i'm what the culture feeling, but no one spoke about that is your boys just mad that he broke down family matters in its actually could change the narrative now all of sudden its him speaking on black culture, when he broke down kendrick lyrics that had all type of black culture themes in it.
The worst part by far was him combing through Whitneys social media and then asking the audience if they think she had post partum depression....like....wtf!! To me WTD suffers from the same cultural tone deafness as Drake. end of story.
@@kingscotty7897 I think Ak aspired to be like Charlemagne. He even talks like him sometimes. But he's way worse and I thought we'd never see the day that someone was worse than Charlemagne. But yes, he needs to go too.
It also didn't sit right with me how comfortably WTD launched into that whole "your lord and savior Kendrick" rant, especially with it being towards Justin. Like bro, you REALLY don't know who you're speaking to. This man Justin will criticize anyone he disagrees with and has never deified any artist. He's a respected veteran in this space for a reason and the last thing the scene needs is some entitled white dude with a chip on his shoulder because his vid went viral.
Right, which speaks to why he thought "rapping like you trying to get the slaves free" was a valid bar despite us telling it exposes Drake as a guest because none of the legend rappers in the genre would ever think to say that except a foreigner and outsider and imposter who'd count n words to make an angle and think it was clever. He suffers from the same cluelessness Drake does and its so satisfying, refreshing, and vindicating seeing content creators being able to address it this way with Justin's response leading the way (a reaction to a reaction to a reaction to a reaction to a reaction is INSANE). Kendrick walking down Drake did everyone a solid🎵. The gift that keeps on giving.
Yeah it really bothered me how he was like "Y'all said I was a genius when I was reaching for the moon on the Kendrick breakdown." Like did you not mean what you said in those videos too? Or were you only complimenting him because you thought that's what the audience wanted?
@@BobtheXSo...he's not just a clumsy, clueless Canadian that doesn't know any better and he's much more self-aware and calculated about his angle and the quality of his content than his audience give him credit for? But he inadvertently told on himself in his 'apology'?😊 Why am I not surprised...😂
I have a HUMONGOUS problem with him calling Justin “Carlton”, and Kendrick a “milk man”. I don’t know why no one else is mad about the “milk man” comment. WTD overstepped on a lot more than counting the “N-word”.
You're so right. " pulling on a blond ponytail" man that shit was so gross. He also sang teenage fever in the 6:16 breakdown and it was so uncomfortable like why?
I watched the fd signifier about this dude and I think he summed it up perfectly: as a white dude in this space don’t talk about hip hop and black culture in general like you’re really from the table! Saying shit like “I can tell you don’t say it” just out of pocket.
I agree that what he said was out of pocket but I don’t agree with the first part of what you said. Black people don’t have a monopoly on hip hop, anyone has the right to talk and discuss it.
@@SoulTrybe I am, which is why I’m saying we do not have a monopoly on hip hop. If a white, brown, pink, yellow person wanna talk about it we can’t stop them. End of story.
@@SoulTrybe do you disagree? Roles reversed and white people telling us to stay out of something that’s predominantly white then that would be fine right?
That was a great vid. As a white dude I really hit up as many black content creators as I could for the whole beef, and that was specifically because I know I have this cultural blind spot. I mean, I grew up in the woods. What do I know? But with the high degree of lyrical skill involved I wanted to know more. FD, Lil Bill, and Olurinatti's panel helped a lot. Let me tell you, WTD wasn't the only nonsense in my feed. Once the algorithm knows you're interested and you start clicking on vids it becomes real clear that some UA-camrs commenting on hip hop don't know as much as they say they do.
WTD caught a lot of flack because he was giving Kendrick a lot of credit and depth points in his breakdowns. Drake fans cried in his comments and he course corrected by overanalyzing “Family Matters” in an effort to come off as fair. My issue with WTD is his inability to take criticism from the very community he makes a living off covering. WTD uses praise comments from prominent Black voices, in the Hip Hop space, at the end of his videos. The ultimate act of whiteness is using those voices to validate yourself but completely disregarding and disrespecting those voices when they collectively criticize you for stepping out of line.
this guy is a canadian drifter who is capitalizing on this rap beef that he’s been dragging on for way too long… i don’t know why anyone would value his opinion
He was hella quick too and then in his apology he tried to make it seem like he knew who he was ….even tho he doesn’t because he called Justin a “nobody” who he would rather respond to on twitter than on UA-cam
I'm a brown mathematician. In a lot of ways, I have to exist as the counterbalance to white people and their obsession with numbers. Like what is so crazy to me is that a lot of the people talking about analytics and numbers, if they went to college at all, majored in business or communications, and then act WE don't know anything like I'm not literally doing a PhD in math. Hell, I'm teaching a calculus course right now which I'm willing to bet they never took, and yes that is being a dick about but if they had any actual understanding of these numbers they wouldn't hold them in such high regard and then of course do... this. The thing about statistics is that a lot of the data you get is bad, and so much of statistics clearing noisy data. Statistics in fact lie all of the time because data is constantly warped and manipulated. There are comparably talented artists to Drake and Taylor Swift, but the reason they consistently generate more numbers is because they work in more genres. I'm not taking the success away from them, but if you cast a wider net, you're gonna get more fish. People don't understand that, and then they worship the large numbers. The thing about "What's the Dirt" immediately pointing to his analytics is that it's every obvious that he has a very surface level understanding regarding what any of those numbers mean because if he did, he'd know that his numbers are one, skewed in the a specific direction, and two inaccurate, but he points to them regardless because it's all he can point to, and specifically with a black content creator too who's been in the space a lot longer than he has (like that isn't implying something gross at all). Look, I get that white people REALLY hate being called out, but when you look at this with the pointing to the numbers in such mocking tone, and the sheer unearned comfort on display, like I really don't know how this isn't a weaponization of white privilege.
I used to think white people didn't get statistics could be skewed or inaccurate because of their mentality around "the numbers don't lie" but then i saw them lose their shit whenever people posted pit bull bite statistics, all of a sudden they understood the nuances of how numbers are collected, things like under reporting, perception, miss classification, mitigating circumstances etc, like if you're that up in arms over Pit Bulls being stereotyped could we get just a lil bit of that same energy for the black community lol
This comment makes a lot of sense to me. I've always felt the white rapper obsession with rapping fast (aka saying the most amount of words in the shortest amount of time) was connected to a certain yearning for an "objective" metric to prove they deserve to be in the culture.
@@breezus3928 It´s also just the fact that Eminem exists and all white rappers live in his shadow, no matter what style they have Em will be the comparison.
@blakan1478 True, but I'd also include him in this phenomenon. After he OD'd he had to relearn to rap; after years of being really good, he had to go back to square one essentially. I think that experience plus the backlash to Relapse made him feel a type of way, and working towards something quantifiable like breaking the world record for fastest rap was one way to deal with it.
“So much of statistics is clearing noisy data” THANK YOU. Dirt’s youtube analytics bit was very frustrating to watch. Anyone I know who works in quantitative research/data analytics says the same thing, that a huge amount of the job is “cleaning” data to get down to more accurate conclusions. Because many things can skew the data. To think the youtube analytics he pointed to about age is accurate is straight up ignorance. We were all 13, hell even 8 years old we were picking random birthdays to get onto youtube. And that was even before iPad kids. Come on now
This all really started because WTD got mad that no one believed Drake was as intelligent, tactical, or layered with his diss tracks as he painted him out to be in his breakdown. Family Matters never deserved more than 45 minutes of anyone's time.
@@kidzn I know what he was trying to do but it failed and backfired just like I know what WTD was trying to do with his response to the company man but it failed and backfired which was the point of my post
The following joke was brought to you by @officalconch "Kendrick said, "what is it the braids" because braids are a traditional hairstyle in African American culture first prevalent in slavery times as a way to carry messages and even store food. Kendrick is essentially saying that Drake is imitating slaves....djdjsmsns" No wigga, he said it because it was funny. 😂😂😂
@@xpkiller350vikings wore braids, yes, but the earliest sign of braids dates back to 3500bc in african cave paintings of women wearing cornrows. we don’t exactly know who invented braids but this predates vikings by millennia
Bro him saying that Drake said nigga 37 times because of how old he is makes me think he watches a shit load of conspiracy theories in his free time because that’s definitely some shit they would say😂
@@joeypadilla8167 true but even Shawn said it in the video.. it’s the artist who does it as well. People are more likely to think Kendrick would do something like that as opposed to Drake because of how calculated Kendrick can be compared to Drake. Not saying Drake isn’t capable but it would make more sense if Kendrick did do something like that.
@@joeypadilla8167 That’s what happens and comes with the territory when you try to put yourself on Pac’s level. Pac’s fans TO THIS DAY are still huge conspiracy theorists about every single little thing possible (and yes, before you ask, the Diddler did that shit lol smh)
@@nine1darby no he didn’t, in 1616 in LA and euphoria he made correlation with facts. Like with the sunset at the marina, the yacht that’s named predator, linked it to Millie Bobby Brown, who was also on a yacht with Drake, linked it to other teenagers that hung out around Drake. In family matters breakdown, he had many angles and comments that were offensive and problematic in regards to our culture, and they were so prevalent in that video, hence the outrage. He didn’t approach it the same way. He gave his opinions and stated them as a fact. For example, he said Kendrick did the control verse for attention and said it’s a fact! That’s an opinion, not a fact. The song wasn’t even supposed to be released, Sean released it because it was leaked. So that just disproves his whole point. And Kendrick had just released good kid mad city that rocked the hip-hop world months prior to the controllers. And his fame skyrocketed. Everyone was talking about about him, so tell me why do you think he wanted attention when he already had all of it. He then insinuates that because Kendrick cheated with a white woman, he is ashamed of his children because of their skin tone. Like what the actual fuck? He then says that he doesn’t believe the DV accusations because there’s no proof of it, but then he says Whitney and Kendrick are not together without providing any proof.
@@nine1darby down with that "no Bias" bs, thats the kinda of stuff that makes "Springfield eating cats" viable. Just bc one side music went deep other side will be deep too? Not even 'not like us' is deep as euphoria or 6:16. And that boy inst catch everything on 6:16
The problem with WTD’s Family Matters video is it’s the first video he’s ever put out that is solely revolved around his own thoughts. Everything else he’s ever did a “breakdown” for has just been repackaging information that other creators have already posted about. But nobody really “broke down” Family Matters because it didn’t warrant a breakdown. All of the bars in that song were EXTREMELY surface level. So I think that’s why this video in particular stands in stark contrast to his previous ones because he didn’t really have anyone else to pull from and we are actually now seeing the type of content he is capable of making when he has to fully do it on his own. It’s absolutely wild to see just how bad he is at it. And it’s also hilarious to see him crash out over the smallest amount of professional constructive criticism from the guy who LITERALLY pioneered the UA-cam video essay format in the hip hop space. Once again showing how culturally clueless this WTD guy is in the first place
@@nigelgreer3479other creators, girls, who were talking about Drake being a creep and all these instances.... girls, black girls, have been on his ass for YEARS
From a Black Canadian perspective… i know WTD’s type. Black Canadians are often times culturally and ethically diverse and distinct, as a lot of us are from the Caribbean, Africa or other parts of the world. Because of that, we don’t tend to indulge in black American culture to the degree that African Americans do, as we all have our own cultures and communities to openly express and embrace our backgrounds separate from the black American community. That leaves a void culturally where white Canadians who feel a personal connection to black American culture or hip hop specifically don’t have a community or an archetype to connect their perspective of hip hop culture to as the black people around them don’t reflect that specific culture. These people grow up and relate all their perspectives and ideas of the culture to what they analyze on the internet and if their entire frame of reference is based on Dj Akademiks or Adam22, then how they contextualize black people will always be misinformed. I blame him for doing his research on the “dirt” of the culture, but not the “fruit” of the culture and i equally attribute blame to the culture of media content creators who refuse to show the whole picture
He is from Newfoundland. I only saw a small percentage of “black” people there according to Google. But I am not familiar with Canada like you are. Is it possible that he might have never been around black people of any culture?
@@TheKat-y2d there is a small community of black people in Newfoundland that originated from Nova Scotia. The nova scotian black community originated from runaway American slaves that migrated to Canada, however their culture and customs are still very different from black American culture and aren’t representative of the culture that white Canadians attribute to black Americans so the point still stands
I thought of this too as a black canadian of african descent. We are tourists in the black American culture just as him and the rest, to be honest sometimes even sad because until we educate ourselves we learn of this culture through media, and you know how it can be portrayed. I sometimes feel even black Africans have no business in using the N word, because some don't grasp how deep that goes since they're caught up in their own struggles. Their mere understanding of it is just how it sounds in music, I maybe wrong but that's how I feel sometimes
He did the same thing with the Kendrick videos everyone was glazing him over too. Dude made up interpretations on his own based on nothing and then later uses his own theories as “proof” for other bars. Just an out of touch dude from Nova Scotia
Bro that's what im saying. I was looking forward to it because I was expecting him to expose the obvious lies in the song like "dont even go back to your hood to plant no money trees." Before he dropped the video, I went to his old ones. I knew it was over when he said that Drake using A.I. was a great mind tactic against Kendrick. 😂
@starchillius It makes sense with Kendrick, he's lyrical and was calculating during the whole beef. There's literally a college course examining Kendrick's lyrics and themes at Concordia University.
What I find interesting is WTD clip is that he’s, as a white man, obsess over the number of times Drake uses the n-word to validate his blackness. Meanwhile, some black listeners interpret it as cringe and disrespectful that Drake ignored his mother’s wishes.
Omg yes! WTD saying “even his mom couldn’t stop him” was so cringe!! You can tell who talks to their mom real greasy which is such an “other” activity.
✋🏾 I am one of those people... the fact that Drake started the song displaying the disrespectful dynamic I have seen more often between white boys and their moms immediately proved KDots cultural difference point. Then this guy DOUBLES down on it.. making Drake look even worse now with the "n-word counter" 🤦🏾♀️
The insane thing is that WTD was firing back from the lens of this solely being about the beef while ignoring the nuances laid right in front of him😂😂😂 then mistook backlash from black people as Kendrick fans jumping him. This week has been a mess
i just don’t get why he’s SO angry? like the company man was chill with his video and watching the side by side seems like he must be talking about a different video😭😭😭
The end hit the nail on the head. It’s not about being cynical it’s about knowing what you do and don’t abide by. At a certain point people show you who they are and it’s up to you to keep them in your life.
he knows who he is, but like Drake, he doesnt respect the people who came before him cause the numbers got to his head like how Drake compares himself to MJ just because of stream numbers smh
Im sorry but going into a response where someone says “you don’t get our culture” and consistently going “your stupid, you lack intelligence” rubs me all of the wrong ways
He literally did everything short of just calling Company Man a monkey, it’s crazy. The stereotypical ebonics after saying a black guy doesn’t “look the type” to say the n word into calling someone unintelligent true combo
I can somewhat understand that. It’s the same way many white people who argue that because black teens may get lower scores on the SAT or have a difficult time understanding Shakespeare, that are culturally biased, makes them somehow less intelligent. If I didn't understand that there is a lack of cultural competence at play, and believed that skin color primarily dictates intelligence as white supremacy teaches, one might think he was just stupid. Instead, he is just culturally incompetent and lacking the self depth to discuss the subject authoritatively. This alone is not the problem, but rather his lacking the self awareness to accept this. Black art traditionally is not meant to be consumed solely analytically, the approach is wrong and leads them stray. I can see it in reactors who read lyrics and try to break down every single line, before ever just listening to the music first, then using reference material that doesn't consider the culture they are attempting to study. That is like trying to understand Shakespeare, using a 2024 urban dictionary as your primary reference material. Meanwhile, WTD as a white Canadian man refusing to defer to African Americans as the authority figures on their own culture, is asinine, to add insult to injury, he takes it as a personal attack on him. Perhaps this is part of the reason why many white people keep trying to analyze hip hop with numbers, and continue to fall short. They think math is an international language, and believe everything can be expressed accurately by mathematics. Once, you begin to understand mathematics, you know that is not true.
The use of word “probably” when referring to Drake’s mom, but not his dad, implies that WTD knows for a fact, that black side of Drake’s family uses the word. That’s the problem. WTD is upset, but he never said “probably” regarding the dad.
WTD: “He’s trying to make me look like I think all black people use the N word. And that would make me look like…” ??? Look like what? Bro is so triggered and creating new problems.
I kind of agree with him there. He was trying to say that wtd was trying to imply that all black people use the word but the reason why wtd said what he said about drakes dad side of the family is because Drake has previously said in the past that they use it all the time. The problem was he didn’t do a good job of relaying that info and then proceeded to get triggered too easily
@@SP-uw1bq Bruh he literaly proves that's what he thinks when Justin shares that he did't say the N word for like 20 yrs and WTD says he can tell, like make that make that make sense.
@@sthabisodingiswayo I was referring to Justin’s comment on when wtd said drakes family says the n word. He tried to make it seem like wtd assumed drakes family said it because of how they look when in reality Drake has stated multiple times that his family says it which is why wtd said what he said. Doesn’t excuse his attack afterwards but it was a misinterpretation of the original statement that caused this whole issue.
@@SP-uw1bqIt wasn’t a misinterpretation. It was originally miscommunicated. Matt responded from a position that would require the audience to hold him in high esteem and that examples the hubris that Justin referenced.
People are willing to understand not overstepping or knowing that they are only guests when it comes to other cultures (Japanese, European cultures, etc.) but think it's free game with African-American culture. They feel entitled to speak on it authoritatively and, as an South African, this includes other black people from across the diaspora, or African Americans themselves who grew up detached from the culture. There's a clear essentialising of black people and African-Americans in general, and it's evident in how he feels okay with defining Justin's blackness for him. P.S That said, I'm not trying to underestimate how black people in general and people of all cultures really, are victim to this kind of nonsense, and concerning the contrast examples I used, I notice this kind of nonsense happening to Japanese and Asian peoples in general more and more as years pass and their cultures propagate through media and become more popular.
It's not only black american culture honestly. A friend of mine is japanese and had some white anime dude lecture her about her own culture way more often than you'd think...
It happens with Asian cultures very often as well. There is a term for white people obsessed with Korean culture (koreaboo) and then plenty of anime fans thinking they know so much about Japanese culture, arguing with Japanese people about it all the time
In What's the Dirt's far right mind, Worldwide Steppers contains 99.9% of Kendrick Lamar's entire philosophy and the whole rest of his discography 0.1%. Kendrick must be like 'dude, you seem awfully put out I shagged two white women over a decade ago'.
He said other problematic things: he talked about Dots wife suffering from Postpartum, claims they aren’t together with no prove, calls dot a milkman and references an Uncle Ruckus image, misrepresents the dates of a breakfast club interview to claim Dot lied to about loyalty, claims he can see his wife cheating b/c dot caused her mental distress with all the cheating, then says dot doesn’t show his kids b/c of their skin color WTF
Also yes, the reason why wouldn't say some things are a reach when it comes to Kendrick's bars its because he has a history of intended deep storytelling with double entendres and just being really selective with the words he uses in his music, Drake in the other hand hasn't given us any reason to think he would go that far in his lyricism knowing the type of music he does, specially when taking in count his ghostwriters allegations.
As a white dude that has been a big hip hop fan since I was 10 years old in '94, I would never even think to count the amount of times someone says the N word in rap. The only way I would do that is if it was a white person using it so I can clown and shame them.
The CRAZIEST part about people like WTD, AK, and non black people who came to The Pop Out or observing this from the outside looking in making comments on “what IS and ISNT” black culture- is that they are EXACTLY all who Kendrick was talking about on Watch The Party Die. All of ‘em- VULTURES.
Wtd commentary was out of line frfr. but he can also miss us with his apology. In previous video that justin made before fm breakdown was released, justin was asking wtd to understand the cultural nuisances while breaking down FM. Wtd didn't do that then decided to disrespect him. Wtd was warned, now he conveniently wants to stop doing breakdowns. 🙄 you are right nothing was enough to stop him from doing this.
The apology makes him seem like he's grifting and doing a horrible and transparent job at it. That's such an insane flip. How is anyone supposed to feel comfortable knowing where you stand on anything after that? He doomed himself immediately by not being able to react with anything other than emotion.
But what’s really crazy about this whole thing is that the “37 times” point doesn’t even mean anything. Like, even if that was intentional on Drake’s part…so what? That adds nothing to the track whatsoever. It’s literally the type of “analysis” that a lazy high schooler would conduct to fill up a word count.
@@AlexFluericHe did the same thing with family matters to try to make it seem like Drake is a lyrical miracle rapper on the same level as Kendrick, along with trying to have the same or bigger shock factor than his 6:16 video
I feel like the issue I have the most with this guy is the sheer lack of respect he has for TCM. Like he was so stubborn that he just came across as incredibly petty and disrespectful. Jesus what happened to having just general respect for people and empathy. I don’t think it’s coincidence that this guy has dirt in his name fr
What’s crazy to me is WTD’s Euphoria video, which actually has deeply layered bars in it, was just barely over an hour long. Bro spent almost 3 hours breaking down in depth a song that doesn’t really have any depth.
Fun fact: the exaggerated swagger of a black teen line was made by a black journalist named Jordan Ramée. I understand why ppl wouldn’t think so tho, it’s a crazy thing to say
Dude is way too full of himself, ignorant, and doesn't understand how constructive criticism works. Just because someone tells you that you did exceptional in one particular area doesn't mean they can't tell you where you messed up and got it wrong in another. For him to try to twist it as Justin being out of touch and hater is wild and shows dude has no place in hip hop or black spaces in general. If you're unwilling to set your ego/pride aside and listen, you're unwilling to learn. If you're unwilling to learn, you'll never grow.
Best plot twist would be if Drake really did do that 37 shit and is breathing a sigh of relief now that this dude is getting clowned for it and not him 😂
he seems to be very proud and protective of his online presence in black/hip hop culture as a white guy, so the second anybody challenges him he lashes out. and shows how he really thinks
Justin got his analytics wrong. What Matt did was focus solely on that part to take away from justin’s main point and instead ended the video because he knew that if he listened to Justin’s point, he’d be wrong.
you can tell when a yt person exclusively listens to hip hop. in my opinion some of them completely forget they're in another person's house. they walk around in their underwear, dig through the fridge, clip their nails all over the place.
@@Mro637 Rightfully so. He was so out of pocket and it’s sad he had nobody to call him out until he dug a hole too deep. But I’m glad his true colors got to show.
He only apologized because of the backlash. Otherwise he probably would have made another video talking trash about the company man. He aint sorry. Its hurting his pockets
I’m mad at the fact WTD response was to go on a Twitter rant of all things in response to valid criticism; because going on a Twitter rant always ends well for ppl
This is equivalent to all those *Drake* fans telling *Hip-hop* fans, NOT *Kendrick Lamar* fans, *Hip-hop* fans that *Drake* won because of the baby girl scheme in meet the Grahams being misinformation
It does make the track less potent. that's a fact. But not like us was a good song, overplayed now. Which won him the beef. Mtg is pretty much trash now since nothing about it is true.
Among many things, he would’ve benefitted from having a black friend look over his analysis. He was too comfortable on his own knowledge to have a proofreader.
What's The Dirt seemed offended by the idea that someone in the same space might not agree with his takes after him getting a lot of praise for his past videos. Unfortunately when you put your opinion and work out there, people are going to comment on it. If you get this mad when another person in the space, especially someone who has respect in the space, critiques you, it's not a good look.
When what's the dirt says "dude I can kinda tell" it's his laugh after that is really telling to me. He genuinely feels some type of way and you can hear it in the laugh to his own comment
Imagine sitting at a table with all your lifelong friends, chilling and some dude yall kinda cool with come up to the table and go “why tf is ____ here?” And try to bully someone from the table. That cracka is a weirdo that got too comfortable.
Let's not ignore how he spoke about black women and Whitney in particular, because that was disgusting and harmful. Acting like she's definitely putting horns on Kendrick? Going through her posts to claim she has ppd? Talking about such a serious issue as post partum depression in such an incorrect and cruel way? No. There was a lot of issues with his video and response that didn't have shit to do with Drake
WTD is a weirdo i posted a comment criticizing his content a month into the drake/kenny beef and he blew up on me saying all kinds of nonsense only to apologize and say hes bipolar and under a lot of stress
thank you for that last part brother, i saw so much of that in the comment section i thought i was tripping. The way they tried to force people to accept his PR apology was sickening, like they were using gaslighting on people who didnt agree
The fact that the duration of this video is 37 minutes is hilarious.
That symbolises every year of drake being alive
Sooo by Dirt’s reasoning, this video is 37 🥷🏻s long i guess 😆
That's a 🥷🏿🥷🏿🥷🏿 per minute... Very consistently Black
Wow I didn't know Shawn was 37 years old 🤔
Very strategic i might say
There's a difference between doing a lyrical breakdown and speaking on black culture plus questioning someone's black card as a caucasoid 💀
Exactly. A foreign White boy tryna tell a Black American he ain't Black.... all while being a GUEST in Black American culture. That shit gets hands and feet put on you in real life. How are you gonna be racist to one of the OG’s of the culture that you’re trying to get acceptance from?

Yeah it really bothered me how he was like "Y'all said I was a genius when I was reaching for the moon on the Kendrick breakdown." Like did you not mean what you said in those videos too? Or were you only complimenting him because you thought that's what the audience wanted?

Why am I not surprised...😂
I have a HUMONGOUS problem with him calling Justin “Carlton”, and Kendrick a “milk man”. I don’t know why no one else is mad about the “milk man” comment. WTD overstepped on a lot more than counting the “N-word”.
Also comparing Kendrick to "Uncle Ruckus" while misunderstanding what Uncle Ruckus actually represents in The Boondocks

That was a great vid. As a white dude I really hit up as many black content creators as I could for the whole beef, and that was specifically because I know I have this cultural blind spot. I mean, I grew up in the woods. What do I know? But with the high degree of lyrical skill involved I wanted to know more. FD, Lil Bill, and Olurinatti's panel helped a lot. Let me tell you, WTD wasn't the only nonsense in my feed.

@ninjazeverywhere it’s a joke dude.
WTD caught a lot of flack because he was giving Kendrick a lot of credit and depth points in his breakdowns. Drake fans cried in his comments and he course corrected by overanalyzing “Family Matters” in an effort to come off as fair.
My issue with WTD is his inability to take criticism from the very community he makes a living off covering. WTD uses praise comments from prominent Black voices, in the Hip Hop space, at the end of his videos. The ultimate act of whiteness is using those voices to validate yourself but completely disregarding and disrespecting those voices when they collectively criticize you for stepping out of line.
WTD has a lot of reaches in all his breakdowns many lines that very obviously aren’t disses he phrased as a diss
this guy is a canadian drifter who is capitalizing on this rap beef that he’s been dragging on for way too long… i don’t know why anyone would value his opinion

I'm a brown mathematician. In a lot of ways, I have to exist as the counterbalance to white people and their obsession with numbers. Like what is so crazy to me is that a lot of the people talking about analytics and numbers, if they went to college at all, majored in business or communications, and then act WE don't know anything like I'm not literally doing a PhD in math. Hell, I'm teaching a calculus course right now which I'm willing to bet they never took, and yes that is being a dick about but if they had any actual understanding of these numbers they wouldn't hold them in such high regard and then of course do... this. The thing about statistics is that a lot of the data you get is bad, and so much of statistics clearing noisy data. Statistics in fact lie all of the time because data is constantly warped and manipulated. There are comparably talented artists to Drake and Taylor Swift, but the reason they consistently generate more numbers is because they work in more genres. I'm not taking the success away from them, but if you cast a wider net, you're gonna get more fish. People don't understand that, and then they worship the large numbers. The thing about "What's the Dirt" immediately pointing to his analytics is that it's every obvious that he has a very surface level understanding regarding what any of those numbers mean because if he did, he'd know that his numbers are one, skewed in the a specific direction, and two inaccurate, but he points to them regardless because it's all he can point to, and specifically with a black content creator too who's been in the space a lot longer than he has (like that isn't implying something gross at all). Look, I get that white people REALLY hate being called out, but when you look at this with the pointing to the numbers in such mocking tone, and the sheer unearned comfort on display, like I really don't know how this isn't a weaponization of white privilege.
I used to think white people didn't get statistics could be skewed or inaccurate because of their mentality around "the numbers don't lie" but then i saw them lose their shit whenever people posted pit bull bite statistics, all of a sudden they understood the nuances of how numbers are collected, things like under reporting, perception, miss classification, mitigating circumstances etc, like if you're that up in arms over Pit Bulls being stereotyped could we get just a lil bit of that same energy for the black community lol
This comment makes a lot of sense to me. I've always felt the white rapper obsession with rapping fast (aka saying the most amount of words in the shortest amount of time) was connected to a certain yearning for an "objective" metric to prove they deserve to be in the culture.
@@breezus3928 It´s also just the fact that Eminem exists and all white rappers live in his shadow, no matter what style they have Em will be the comparison.
@blakan1478 True, but I'd also include him in this phenomenon. After he OD'd he had to relearn to rap; after years of being really good, he had to go back to square one essentially. I think that experience plus the backlash to Relapse made him feel a type of way, and working towards something quantifiable like breaking the world record for fastest rap was one way to deal with it.
“So much of statistics is clearing noisy data” THANK YOU.
Dirt’s youtube analytics bit was very frustrating to watch.
Anyone I know who works in quantitative research/data analytics says the same thing, that a huge amount of the job is “cleaning” data to get down to more accurate conclusions. Because many things can skew the data.
To think the youtube analytics he pointed to about age is accurate is straight up ignorance.

Funny thing is he took the same approach with this Kendrick videos and nobody had a problem
@@nine1darby no he didn’t, in 1616 in LA and euphoria he made correlation with facts. Like with the sunset at the marina, the yacht that’s named predator, linked it to Millie Bobby Brown, who was also on a yacht with Drake, linked it to other teenagers that hung out around Drake.
In family matters breakdown, he had many angles and comments that were offensive and problematic in regards to our culture, and they were so prevalent in that video, hence the outrage. He didn’t approach it the same way. He gave his opinions and stated them as a fact. For example, he said Kendrick did the control verse for attention and said it’s a fact! That’s an opinion, not a fact. The song wasn’t even supposed to be released, Sean released it because it was leaked. So that just disproves his whole point. And Kendrick had just released good kid mad city that rocked the hip-hop world months prior to the controllers. And his fame skyrocketed. Everyone was talking about about him, so tell me why do you think he wanted attention when he already had all of it.
He then insinuates that because Kendrick cheated with a white woman, he is ashamed of his children because of their skin tone. Like what the actual fuck?
He then says that he doesn’t believe the DV accusations because there’s no proof of it, but then he says Whitney and Kendrick are not together without providing any proof.

The problem with WTD’s Family Matters video is it’s the first video he’s ever put out that is solely revolved around his own thoughts. Everything else he’s ever did a “breakdown” for has just been repackaging information that other creators have already posted about. But nobody really “broke down” Family Matters because it didn’t warrant a breakdown. All of the bars in that song were EXTREMELY surface level. So I think that’s why this video in particular stands in stark contrast to his previous ones because he didn’t really have anyone else to pull from and we are actually now seeing the type of content he is capable of making when he has to fully do it on his own. It’s absolutely wild to see just how bad he is at it. And it’s also hilarious to see him crash out over the smallest amount of professional constructive criticism from the guy who LITERALLY pioneered the UA-cam video essay format in the hip hop space. Once again showing how culturally clueless this WTD guy is in the first place

From a Black Canadian perspective…
i know WTD’s type. Black Canadians are often times culturally and ethically diverse and distinct, as a lot of us are from the Caribbean, Africa or other parts of the world. Because of that, we don’t tend to indulge in black American culture to the degree that African Americans do, as we all have our own cultures and communities to openly express and embrace our backgrounds separate from the black American community.
That leaves a void culturally where white Canadians who feel a personal connection to black American culture or hip hop specifically don’t have a community or an archetype to connect their perspective of hip hop culture to as the black people around them don’t reflect that specific culture. These people grow up and relate all their perspectives and ideas of the culture to what they analyze on the internet and if their entire frame of reference is based on Dj Akademiks or Adam22, then how they contextualize black people will always be misinformed.
I blame him for doing his research on the “dirt” of the culture, but not the “fruit” of the culture and i equally attribute blame to the culture of media content creators who refuse to show the whole picture
He is from Newfoundland. I only saw a small percentage of “black” people there according to Google. But I am not familiar with Canada like you are. Is it possible that he might have never been around black people of any culture?
@@TheKat-y2d there is a small community of black people in Newfoundland that originated from Nova Scotia. The nova scotian black community originated from runaway American slaves that migrated to Canada, however their culture and customs are still very different from black American culture and aren’t representative of the culture that white Canadians attribute to black Americans so the point still stands
@@wanloveph that’s very cool to know. Thanks for sharing this information.
I thought of this too as a black canadian of african descent. We are tourists in the black American culture just as him and the rest, to be honest sometimes even sad because until we educate ourselves we learn of this culture through media, and you know how it can be portrayed. I sometimes feel even black Africans have no business in using the N word, because some don't grasp how deep that goes since they're caught up in their own struggles. Their mere understanding of it is just how it sounds in music, I maybe wrong but that's how I feel sometimes
I just don’t understand why he’s confidently talking as if everything Drake said was true. Like he had absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
And this is why people are accusing him of being on OVO payroll
Fr. Had me thinking Drake had reached out like he does with Akademics
He did the same thing with the Kendrick videos everyone was glazing him over too. Dude made up interpretations on his own based on nothing and then later uses his own theories as “proof” for other bars. Just an out of touch dude from Nova Scotia
Bro that's what im saying. I was looking forward to it because I was expecting him to expose the obvious lies in the song like "dont even go back to your hood to plant no money trees."
Before he dropped the video, I went to his old ones. I knew it was over when he said that Drake using A.I. was a great mind tactic against Kendrick. 😂
@starchillius It makes sense with Kendrick, he's lyrical and was calculating during the whole beef. There's literally a college course examining Kendrick's lyrics and themes at Concordia University.
What I find interesting is WTD clip is that he’s, as a white man, obsess over the number of times Drake uses the n-word to validate his blackness.
Meanwhile, some black listeners interpret it as cringe and disrespectful that Drake ignored his mother’s wishes.
Omg yes! WTD saying “even his mom couldn’t stop him” was so cringe!! You can tell who talks to their mom real greasy which is such an “other” activity.
Yep thats the exact same metric he used to say all that wild stuff to TCM immediately afterward too.
✋🏾 I am one of those people... the fact that Drake started the song displaying the disrespectful dynamic I have seen more often between white boys and their moms immediately proved KDots cultural difference point. Then this guy DOUBLES down on it.. making Drake look even worse now with the "n-word counter" 🤦🏾♀️
@@missteeisi i guess Drake has no FEAR for his mother lol, like DAMN thats not how mamma raised us... wink wink
“he woulda been better off covering the heart pt 6 because atleast when I heard that track I was confused” made me literally laugh out loud

i just don’t get why he’s SO angry? like the company man was chill with his video and watching the side by side seems like he must be talking about a different video😭😭😭

@@marcb3733The critical point.
Despite what Dirt says, I am certain he had no idea what a legend TCM is in HipHop journalism.

"I can kinda tell" uh... how CAN you tell sir? you know something that we don't?
Im sorry but going into a response where someone says “you don’t get our culture” and consistently going “your stupid, you lack intelligence” rubs me all of the wrong ways
He literally did everything short of just calling Company Man a monkey, it’s crazy. The stereotypical ebonics after saying a black guy doesn’t “look the type” to say the n word into calling someone unintelligent true combo
I can somewhat understand that. It’s the same way many white people who argue that because black teens may get lower scores on the SAT or have a difficult time understanding Shakespeare, that are culturally biased, makes them somehow less intelligent. If I didn't understand that there is a lack of cultural competence at play, and believed that skin color primarily dictates intelligence as white supremacy teaches, one might think he was just stupid. Instead, he is just culturally incompetent and lacking the self depth to discuss the subject authoritatively. This alone is not the problem, but rather his lacking the self awareness to accept this. Black art traditionally is not meant to be consumed solely analytically, the approach is wrong and leads them stray. I can see it in reactors who read lyrics and try to break down every single line, before ever just listening to the music first, then using reference material that doesn't consider the culture they are attempting to study. That is like trying to understand Shakespeare, using a 2024 urban dictionary as your primary reference material. Meanwhile, WTD as a white Canadian man refusing to defer to African Americans as the authority figures on their own culture, is asinine, to add insult to injury, he takes it as a personal attack on him. Perhaps this is part of the reason why many white people keep trying to analyze hip hop with numbers, and continue to fall short. They think math is an international language, and believe everything can be expressed accurately by mathematics. Once, you begin to understand mathematics, you know that is not true.
WTD saying "I can tell" is actually WILD!
The use of word “probably” when referring to Drake’s mom, but not his dad, implies that WTD knows for a fact, that black side of Drake’s family uses the word. That’s the problem. WTD is upset, but he never said “probably” regarding the dad.
To shoot him some bail, he showed a clip of a Drake interview where he states his family uses the word.
WTD: “He’s trying to make me look like I think all black people use the N word. And that would make me look like…” ??? Look like what? Bro is so triggered and creating new problems.
I kind of agree with him there. He was trying to say that wtd was trying to imply that all black people use the word but the reason why wtd said what he said about drakes dad side of the family is because Drake has previously said in the past that they use it all the time. The problem was he didn’t do a good job of relaying that info and then proceeded to get triggered too easily

Doesn’t excuse his attack afterwards but it was a misinterpretation of the original statement that caused this whole issue.
@@SP-uw1bqIt wasn’t a misinterpretation. It was originally miscommunicated. Matt responded from a position that would require the audience to hold him in high esteem and that examples the hubris that Justin referenced.
People are willing to understand not overstepping or knowing that they are only guests when it comes to other cultures (Japanese, European cultures, etc.) but think it's free game with African-American culture.
They feel entitled to speak on it authoritatively and, as an South African, this includes other black people from across the diaspora, or African Americans themselves who grew up detached from the culture.
There's a clear essentialising of black people and African-Americans in general, and it's evident in how he feels okay with defining Justin's blackness for him.
P.S That said, I'm not trying to underestimate how black people in general and people of all cultures really, are victim to this kind of nonsense, and concerning the contrast examples I used, I notice this kind of nonsense happening to Japanese and Asian peoples in general more and more as years pass and their cultures propagate through media and become more popular.
White people definitely be over stepping in other cultures as well.

whats the dirt was reaching the fuck out of 'family matters' in his last video
In What's the Dirt's far right mind, Worldwide Steppers contains 99.9% of Kendrick Lamar's entire philosophy and the whole rest of his discography 0.1%.
Kendrick must be like 'dude, you seem awfully put out I shagged two white women over a decade ago'.
He said other problematic things: he talked about Dots wife suffering from Postpartum, claims they aren’t together with no prove, calls dot a milkman and references an Uncle Ruckus image, misrepresents the dates of a breakfast club interview to claim Dot lied to about loyalty, claims he can see his wife cheating b/c dot caused her mental distress with all the cheating, then says dot doesn’t show his kids b/c of their skin color WTF
Just wanna say I love the little voice over follow up at the end . Really nice addition for us UA-cam viewers
Also yes, the reason why wouldn't say some things are a reach when it comes to Kendrick's bars its because he has a history of intended deep storytelling with double entendres and just being really selective with the words he uses in his music, Drake in the other hand hasn't given us any reason to think he would go that far in his lyricism knowing the type of music he does, specially when taking in count his ghostwriters allegations.
I wish Shawn watched Justin’s response immediately after this one
I hope that's the next video...
As a white dude that has been a big hip hop fan since I was 10 years old in '94, I would never even think to count the amount of times someone says the N word in rap. The only way I would do that is if it was a white person using it so I can clown and shame them.
The CRAZIEST part about people like WTD, AK, and non black people who came to The Pop Out or observing this from the outside looking in making comments on “what IS and ISNT” black culture- is that they are EXACTLY all who Kendrick was talking about on Watch The Party Die. All of ‘em- VULTURES.

Fun fact: the exaggerated swagger of a black teen line was made by a black journalist named Jordan Ramée. I understand why ppl wouldn’t think so tho, it’s a crazy thing to say
Bi Racial**
Dude is way too full of himself, ignorant, and doesn't understand how constructive criticism works. Just because someone tells you that you did exceptional in one particular area doesn't mean they can't tell you where you messed up and got it wrong in another. For him to try to twist it as Justin being out of touch and hater is wild and shows dude has no place in hip hop or black spaces in general. If you're unwilling to set your ego/pride aside and listen, you're unwilling to learn. If you're unwilling to learn, you'll never grow.
Who tf listens to a rap song and counts how many times somebody said the n word??
When WTD said "I can tell" i was half expectin him to say "I say it more then you".
straight up Michael Rapaport from Bamboozled energy. Shit, Rapaport in real life too
Best plot twist would be if Drake really did do that 37 shit and is breathing a sigh of relief now that this dude is getting clowned for it and not him 😂
😭😂😂😂😂😂
he seems to be very proud and protective of his online presence in black/hip hop culture as a white guy, so the second anybody challenges him he lashes out. and shows how he really thinks
I’m Haitian, I didn’t start to use the N word until sophomore year of college because it was not allowed in my household and we’re Haitians.
I can tell you're not FBA
I’m African American I still never say at my mom’s house. My pops never let us say it
Justin got his analytics wrong. What Matt did was focus solely on that part to take away from justin’s main point and instead ended the video because he knew that if he listened to Justin’s point, he’d be wrong.
How can someone react so aggressively to such calm, softball criticism? This WTD man is a child.
WTD is the prime example of someone who is a guest of the culture that overstayed their welcome
I think that overstepped is the wrong word to use for that white guy 😂😂😂
@@andresciahooten9598 overstayed is a better word choice yh u right
so basically what I got from the situation is basically bro outed himself as a micro-racist drake stan on accident?
you can tell when a yt person exclusively listens to hip hop. in my opinion some of them completely forget they're in another person's house. they walk around in their underwear, dig through the fridge, clip their nails all over the place.
37:05 you are absolutely cooking rn
*What The Dirt* really is, is that *Drake* fans CANNOT successfully hide being *Drake* fans
I just came from disliking that video. Why was that joint the length of a full feature film?
Watching him crash out slowly was a movie in itself. The jokes write themselves buddy
@@teddymthembu123 you should’ve seen when he went in Curtis king’s live UA-cam chat to defend his racist self. They destroyed him lol.
@@Mro637 Rightfully so. He was so out of pocket and it’s sad he had nobody to call him out until he dug a hole too deep. But I’m glad his true colors got to show.
He validated Justin's worry and more.
Also calling him a Carton is like yeah get him outta here. Carlton is just as black as Will
Right!
There's a whole episode in the show about this! its embarrassing.
This is some shit I would say to parody a white Canadian hip-hop vlogger 😭
The company man’s response video to him goes craaaaaazy 😂
Reminded me of when a white girl told me i don't sound black 😂😂
He only apologized because of the backlash. Otherwise he probably would have made another video talking trash about the company man. He aint sorry. Its hurting his pockets
WTD is the ultimate projector.
the “exaggerated swagger of a black teen” line was actually said by a black man lol, i think it makes it funnier
I’m mad at the fact WTD response was to go on a Twitter rant of all things in response to valid criticism; because going on a Twitter rant always ends well for ppl
This is equivalent to all those *Drake* fans telling *Hip-hop* fans, NOT *Kendrick Lamar* fans, *Hip-hop* fans that *Drake* won because of the baby girl scheme in meet the Grahams being misinformation
It does make the track less potent. that's a fact. But not like us was a good song, overplayed now. Which won him the beef. Mtg is pretty much trash now since nothing about it is true.
@@handsanitizer2457is that so?
@@handsanitizer2457 lol
No one judges rap beef based on whether or not it's 'accurate'. It's rap, not TMZ. 🙄
@@TakverReturns no way you thought mtg was a good rap song
Oh wow, a Shawn voiceover at the end?! Let’s go
i think the moral of the story is that research can’t teach you everything 😬
Among many things, he would’ve benefitted from having a black friend look over his analysis. He was too comfortable on his own knowledge to have a proofreader.
Loved this video, great job, and I definitely agree with everything you said at the end regarding what’s the dirt’s apology
What's The Dirt seemed offended by the idea that someone in the same space might not agree with his takes after him getting a lot of praise for his past videos. Unfortunately when you put your opinion and work out there, people are going to comment on it. If you get this mad when another person in the space, especially someone who has respect in the space, critiques you, it's not a good look.
When what's the dirt says "dude I can kinda tell" it's his laugh after that is really telling to me. He genuinely feels some type of way and you can hear it in the laugh to his own comment
Imagine sitting at a table with all your lifelong friends, chilling and some dude yall kinda cool with come up to the table and go “why tf is ____ here?” And try to bully someone from the table.
That cracka is a weirdo that got too comfortable.
if you pay close attention to the video, shawn does a super clever thing making the video 37 minutes long to symbolize WTD’s 37 theory
Let's not ignore how he spoke about black women and Whitney in particular, because that was disgusting and harmful. Acting like she's definitely putting horns on Kendrick? Going through her posts to claim she has ppd? Talking about such a serious issue as post partum depression in such an incorrect and cruel way? No. There was a lot of issues with his video and response that didn't have shit to do with Drake
WTD is a weirdo i posted a comment criticizing his content a month into the drake/kenny beef and he blew up on me saying all kinds of nonsense only to apologize and say hes bipolar and under a lot of stress
I think dirt is just chronically online and it shows
thank you for that last part brother, i saw so much of that in the comment section i thought i was tripping. The way they tried to force people to accept his PR apology was sickening, like they were using gaslighting on people who didnt agree
