This isn’t the end for Drake. A text exchange about the future of the man Kendrick crushed

My homie texted: How’s it going with Drake? (I actually have yet to receive a positive response from Drake).
I texted: This isn’t the end in any respect. Drake is doing well. He probably finds public shaming painful for him personally, considering how necessary his image is to him, so he might have to talk over with his therapist about it, but career-wise, he makes good money. Kendrick has definitely taken over the culture. Today he’s the central figure. If highschool is the culture, Kendrick is by far the hottest kid at school. Drake was the hottest kid at school, but now he’s all about K-Dot. He’s got the song of the yr in “Not Like Us,” possibly even the song of the yr, and the music video hasn’t even been made yet. He just gave the concert of the summer. He cannot be stopped now. But if culture is highschool, Drake still goes to highschool. He got beaten up in the parking zone and everybody saw it, but he wasn’t kicked out. And if the culture, as in Black culture, is one highschool, then we must understand that Drake is someone who attends two schools without delay. A large portion of his fans aren’t involved in that culture, they don’t seem to be black, and so they don’t care about hip-hop the way the culture at large does, and Kendrick dunking on Drake doesn’t change how they feel about him.
He replied: Certainly. Not over the top prefer it was with Ja Rule, but I assume where do you go in the men’s rap game when a big part of your success comes out of your perceived roughness and place in the game?

I texted: I believe for the most part, Drake fans and Kendrick fans are different people. Just like in the cafeteria at this proverbial school, they sit at different tables. They don’t even sit on the same side of the dining room. There aren’t many similarities because they see the world in other ways and need various things from music. And like I said, loads of Drake fans go to other schools. I believe Kendrick’s fans are mostly black and male and serious about hip-hop. I believe Drake’s fan base is black and white, there are men and ladies, some take hip-hop seriously and others are pop fans and should not care about hip-hop. It’s definitely larger than Kendrick’s fan base, and I do not think losing the battle cost Drake many fans.
There appear to be three camps amongst Drake fans. Some imagine that Drake won the battle. Some people think Drake lost the battle but they do not care, they still love him. They probably think that Kendrick and the many others attacking Drake prove that Drake is the man, or as my kids would say, prove that he’s the primary character. And some people don’t really care about the battle. Kendrick won this battle, but that does not imply Drake fans stopped loving him. When he releases his next album or goes on tour, they will likely be there for him.
He texted: It’s hard to take someone seriously who raps “name of all time, name of the best” after someone kicked ass so hard, lol.
I texted: This is how we feel because we’re on Kendrick’s side of the cafeteria. But things are different on Drake’s side. They see the world in another way. It’s almost as if something bad happened to Trump and it doesn’t really affect his standing together with his base because their love just isn’t based on logic and liberals are going apoplectic – how can that not make you rethink your like to Trump? But love is illogical. People love Drake and a loss won’t change that. It’s not the time for Drake to drop recent music since it’s Kendrick’s summer. The school is his. But over time it’ll calm down a bit and Drake will release a catchy track that makes people want to bounce and return to doing his thing.
He texted: That is smart.
