The general public and those knowledgeable about music reached the correct conclusion that Kendrick Lamar won the feud.

“I think they got it right with who won that one.”

Ishmael Butler claims that Drake entered a no-win situation because he failed to recognize the extent of the opposition against him.

“I think he was damned if he did and he was damned if he didn't I don't think he really had an opportunity to win this”

Melyssa Ford suggests that Drake's career and business interests were irreversibly harmed by the specific accusations Kendrick Lamar leveled against him.

“you have pedophilia circling over your head to where the masses are starting to believe it whether it's true or not yo that's going to start to affect your branding and your business exponentially”

Kendrick Lamar's song is a high-quality, impressive record that forces listeners to engage with and investigate the history surrounding the beef.

“this record is like it's it's fire it it appeals to the passive listener you know what I mean that doesn't know all the history and stuff like that but it forces you to listen and then it makes you say huh I want to know more about that I want to know more so that's why I'm listening to you guys to ”

Kendrick Lamar made the two best songs in the conflict and is outperforming the song-focused artist, Drake.

“I think Kendrick made the two better songs like Drake is the song guy I think Kendrick made the two better songs song guys huh out songing the song guys impressive way impressive”
