Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘Not Like Us‘ has arguably turn into an all time basic diss report. Not solely due to Kendrick’s presentation, but additionally as a result of it’s relatively uncommon for a tune to obtain this a lot consideration that’s inevitably amplified by an ongoing lawsuit.

Whereas Drake continues to hunt ‘justice,’ he has inadvertently elevated the longevity of the diss report geared toward him. Only in the near past, the rapper bought a reply from UMG over ‘Not Like Us’ defamation swimsuit, which was earlier dismissed. But, Drake selected to attraction the choice and has now invited extra replies from the UMG facet.

Protected to say, UMG isn’t mincing phrases. Of their newest response to Drake’s authorized pursuit, the label principally implied that it’s hypocritical of Drake to first use the UMG platform to focus on Kendrick, solely to backtrack and alter the principles later. Right here’s an excerpt from the UMG submission:

“Though Drake had used UMG’s platform to assault Lamar in equally incendiary phrases, he now claims UMG defamed him by releasing the recording, that the monitor violates N.Y. Penal Regulation, and that UMG’s promotion of it violated N.Y. Normal Enterprise Regulation (GBL),” the submitting reads.

“[Drake] seeks to strip phrases from their context and deem them actionable defamation if anybody, wherever, may deal with them as factual,” it continues. “That’s not the legislation, and Drake’s view would critically undermine a extremely inventive artwork type constructed on exaggeration, insult, and wordplay. Drake’s Penal Regulation and GBL arguments fare no higher. This Court docket ought to affirm the dismissal.”

Looks like this tirade isn’t ending anytime quickly. What do you suppose?
