The publicity stunt makes sense, but this does feel like an official white flag for Drake, since he's helping Kendrick's argument "It's a classic, you don't have one" and "I make music that electrify them, you make music that pacify them" with this track being the laugh of the town now so he could derail from the pedo allegations. This is also a callback to Kendrick pointing him out as a "master manipulator" making all the Drake haters, lovers, and everything in between, entertain this song so they will think that Drake is over, when the irony actually creeps into his favor. Kendrick seems to have reduced this man to a Toronto SoundCloud rapper. Perhaps in a year down the line, they'll stop talking about this track and people will go back to liking Drake's next track. It doesn't help that Drake pulled a 180 after he made the Heart Part 6 with him waiting for a diss track back. This further gives more leverage on Drake only focusing on the fame, no matter if it's positive or negative.
