@JuiceThousand One of the most important things is that Tony is Livia and she is Johnny Boy. Her killing Richie is such a Johnny Boy move. Tony making Bobby kill someone is such a Livia move.

There is no way they make up after this, right? Jay and Nas were disrespectful but they are also both, like, genius New Yorkers with mutual work friends. It was beneficial. This feels beyond the pale?

@Passionweiss I don’t think Drake is fooling anyone when he acts like a tough person, nor does he want to. It is a wink; a solipsistic caricature. (See: “Stay Schemin”). Nas was more of a level playing field when it comes to that, and Jay exposed the fact that Jay was the real dealer.

I consider myself a Drake fan — he has made some of most unifyingly good music of my lifetime, we all memories of turning up with niggas to “10 Bands” — but K-Dot got him. Beef is over. He probably should not have responded to “Like That” in the first place. This is a nuke now.

This is not “Ether”, FWIW, but just like “Ether” painted Jay-Z as a careerist who went to Jaz, Kane, to BIG to hone his persona/skills, I really think the “you collaborate for street cred” is devastating. Again, I’m a huge Drake fan, but these are just that hurt him in rap beef.
