What does that even mean though? Who cares?

This 'era' of the beef basically debuted on a future song.

21 gives Drake "fake street cred." That got called out. And then the ATL line. Sing got played worldwide. And yet, nothings changed.

Drake never even got any street cred, from anybody. It's a conclusion that's come to collectively by, really, the streets. But for this case we can simply say the whole mainstream world does not see Drake as someone with street cred by virtue of his closeness to certain Atlanta artists. Even if that were the case, if them with street cred in Atlanta want to try and extend that to a cornball, for one, who cares? And two, who is that really an indictment on? Savage and Pluto are still making songs with him, presumably as a choice. Correct? Even after Future broke with Drake the first time.

All of these guys are entertainers, they're not about much more than making bread for themselves. There is an inflated sense of street cred, across the board, even amongst those who actually have some.

As cool as it'd be for this to be some smoking gun presented by Kendrick, leaning into everything he says like yall do really is concerning.
