    If I’ve learned anything from the interweb it’s that having a big, public hissy-fit about something definitely makes everyone stop talking about it.

      Drake is suing Kendrick and a label (UMG) that he’s worked with is friends with a board member, and parties with his kid…

      Not because of all the accusations in the songs.

      But because he can’t believe the song was really that popular and he’s saying they pumped it’s numbers just to hurt Drake personally.

      Pretty sure the song went back in the top 20, maybe top 10.

      Despite Kendrick just dropped an entire album, but this made people pause that and go back to Not Like Us.

      This is about to be more embarrassing than Scott’s Tots.

      One alt-right rich sellout rapper dissed a different rapper so hard because the other one is part of some sort of supposed ring of alleged pedophiles he belongs to. Those pedophiles being “Not Like Us” has become a popular colloquialism.

      Now the pedo rapper is suing them for something along the lines of defamation.

      EDIT: Clear and concise use of language

          He’s also your typical predatory wannabe music mogul. He’ll reach out to naive up and coming artists and sign them to predatory deals knowing a ride to fame is too hard to pass up for many.

            How tf does that make any sense? Is every rapper automatically far right through association with Kanye? Kendrick and Ye aren’t even friends

              Kanye picked Kendricks side during the feud and they have A LOT of photos together for people who supposedly aren’t friends.

              If Kendrick doesn’t want to be associated with the antisemitic maga rapper Kanye West then a good time to speak up would have been many years ago. Like Kid Cudi did.

            You can’t be alt-right “by association”. If you don’t hold their views but don’t care enough to not be friends with them you’re just an asshole, not alt-right.

    And now everyone seems to be back to liking him? I can’t keep up.

    My biggest question about all of this is the timing.
    Drake really waited for the hysteria to die down, and then right as Kendrick releases a new album he does it?

    Is like he’s trying to ensure people don’t forget the beef lmao

        My wife and I were talking about this.

        Being a little dick - weak, shriveled, requires blood to harden

        Being a pussy - strong, elastic, can expel a baby.

          As the line misattributed to Betty White goes,

          When someone calls you weak, they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair. If you want to be real tough, you should grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.

          I actually did the same thing with a previous gf! We began using “flaccid penis” as an insult in place of pussy.
          It was good fun.

            “limp dick” has been around for a while.

                If calling someone a pussy is misogynist, then calling someone a limp dick is definitely misandrist. Do you know what that word means? You’re using a gender-based term in a derogatory way, how else could you possibly describe it?

                  Nice attempt, troll.
                  Calling someone a pussy is misogyny because it is based on calling women weak and is not based on the strength of the pussy itself—which imo is strong. The flaccid penis is weak on its own and is not a comment on men in general.

    He can’t go to law school because he doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree which is a prerequisite. Say what you will about Kim K but she isn’t stupid, she just doesn’t have common sense.

        That and law school just means you’re very good at memorization and recall. It doesn’t mean you’re an intelligent god. Same with medical school, I’ve met frighteningly stupid people who memorized their way through both.

        My brother-in-law’s father is one of the most sought-after knee and back surgeons in the state where they live. To say this guy knows his shit would be an understatement… outside of the operating toom, I’ve never met someone so clueless. Somedays it amazes me he somehow managed learning to put his pants on first, and THEN his shoes. Hes not mentally disabled whatsoever yet struggles to grasp concepts that require any meaningful thought and yet is a very well know highly skilled, knowledgeable and talented leader in his very advanced field for ~30 years and still going strong. There’s nothing wrong with him aside from being a bubbly airhead.

      To my understanding she failed the baby bar 3 or 4 times… I believe she’s been at it for… 6 years now or maybe more and is behind those who simply just went to college for their 4 years.

        I assume she’s trying to pass in California which is one of the very few states that let you sit for the bar exam without a JD from an accredited law school or any degree at all. In exchange for allowing that California also has the hardest bar exam of any state in the union.

        Also lawyers don’t just go to four years of college. They have to do that and get a degree in any subject and then attend law school which in the US is only ever a postgraduate program which requires a bachelor’s degree as a prerequisite. And even those who complete both of those levels of education often fail the California bar exam multiple times.

        Self study in comparison would be nearly impossible and the only way to actually succeed would probably be to apprentice under a practicing lawyer for many years, learn the trade that way, take an exam prep course and then maybe be able to pass. Granted in the olden days lawyers like Abraham Lincoln didn’t have any degree either and they were usually admitted to the bar after this type of apprenticeship.

        There is no ABA accredited law school in the United States that does not require the completion of a baccalaureate level education prior to attending. You need to confirm completion of such a degree before they will finalize your admission. If you are admitted as an undergrad and fail to finish your undergraduate degree they will revoke your admission or at the very least postpone it until you obtain a bachelor’s degree.

          Then maybe I misremembered and you don’t have to go to law school to pass the bar and become a lawyer. I knew someone years ago who was a practicing attorney who never graduated college.

            Some few states allow you to take the exam without any eduction requirements. California is one of them. But these places have the hardest bar exams.

            Also foreign lawyers can sit for US bar exams after doing only a one year bridge LLM degree in U.S. law which is offered by most ABA accredited law schools in states where there is an education requirement.
