Ok, so Louder -- I'm sure you saw the pitchfork feature about Pusha T v. Drake. I didn't honestly realize there was a rivalry bubbling, and I'm not particularly interested in Pusha wasting his time on Drake disses instead of making the albums he's promised he would make.
But it's nice to hear a super populace mag like Pitchfork taking a solid stance about how silly Drake's burns of Pusha are, how rooted in fantasy they are, how Pusha's an objectively better lyricist and Rapper. None of it needs to be said to folks like us, but as Pitchfork pointed out, VIEWS was a monster pop hit, while the endlessly superior Darkest Before Dawn barely cracked the top 20.

Kinda begs the question though... How will Kanye feel about THIS. Drake clapping back at acid I for saying some crazy shit is one thing. Drake bashing the president of GOOD Music, and Kanye's most trusted protege should be quite another.
I feel like Kanye considers himself to be sort of "above" hip-hop feuds. Always eager to make amends when shit gets ugly. But a public disavowal of Drake might be just what the doctor ordered.
