  Speaker 3: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm

  Speaker 3: not making these people do these days.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: off guard.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Damn Charla Man who got the donkey out the day today?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Well, just hilarious.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Donkey of Today from Monday, December second goes to Aubrey
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Drake Graham. We was on vacation all last week, so
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I didn't get the opportunity to properly give Drake the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: credit he deserves for being stupid.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: But if you haven't heard, last week, Frozen.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Moments LLC, a company managed by Drake, filed a petition
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: in the New York Supreme Court accusing UMG and Spotify
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: of engaging in a scheme to ensure Kendrick Lamars Not
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Like Us broke through on multiple screaming platforms. According to
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: the petition, Aubrey Graham claimed the label used dis honest
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: tactics to increase the number of listeners for Not Like
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Us on Spotify and radio stations. He also filed another
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: petition against UMG, alleging defamation and claiming that the label
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: could have stopped the release of not Like Us, which
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the rappers said in the document is a song falsely
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: accusing him of being a sex offender.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Let's go to ABC News for the report. Please.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: Drake is filing a petition against Universal Music Group and Spotify,
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: accusing the companies of quote artificially inflating the spread of
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar. In the New York
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Court filing, Drake alleges you UMG and Spotify quote deceived
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: consumers into believing the song was more popular than it was,
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: manipulating the streaming services to make the song go viral.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: UMG released a statement saying, in part, the suggestion that
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: is offensive and untrue.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Now I told y'all back in May on my Brilliant
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Idious podcast. I might have even said it here on
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Breakfast Club. I don't remember, but I told Y'alldrake was
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: gonna follow lawsuit. I told you Drake was gonna sue.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: He is a multi billion dollar entity. No multi billion
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: dollar entity is going to allow you to call him
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: a pedophile or a sex offender and not take some
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: sort of legal action.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: The person who has the real defamation case in this
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: situation is Kendrick woman, because Drake not only said Kendrick
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: was beating on her, he said that Dave Free, Kendrick's
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: business partner and friend, was the real father to one
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: of Kendrick's kids. So if you're gonna accuse somebody of defamation,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: you must first make sure you too aren't guilty of defamation. Okay,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Drake saying that Kendrick defamed him is indeed the pot
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: calling the kettle bage. But that's not even why I'm
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: giving him donkey of the day. Okay, I'm giving him
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: donkey of the day because Drake is proving, without a
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: shadow of a doubt, that he simply doesn't understand culture.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I used to debate with my man Glasses Malone Drop
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: on the Clues Bombs for Glasses alone. You can listen
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to his No Sealers podcasts on the Black Effect iHeart
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Radio podcast network. I used to debate with Glasses when
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: he would say things like Drake is in hip hop.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: He would say Drake is not culture. Glasses would actually
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: say Drake is Madonna, He's pop he's manufactured. And you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: after this lawsuit, I have to say I agree, because
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Drake doesn't understand how any of this works. Number one,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Not Like Us was very popular. Ok it's still very popular.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It was an instant smash, all right. Not Like Us
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: isn't just a hit record. It's a rare cultural phenomenon.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Records like that don't come along too often. Records like
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: that can't be programmed. I don't care how much money
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you spend that radio or on playlist, whatever it is.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: When something is a cultural phenomenon, you can't buy that, Okay,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you can't buy culture. Drake Not Like Us was a
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: cultural identifier for a whole coast. I wouldn't be surprised
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: if California made the state model they Not Like Us
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: one day. Right now, their state model is Eureka, so
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: they need an upgrader, Okay, and they Not Like Us
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: would absolutely be a better model. But that's what Drake
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: doesn't understand. Because Drake is absolutely one of the biggest
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: artists in the world. Okay, he has a cult like following,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: not just the colt like following. He has some of
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the most loyal d riders on the planet. In fact,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: drop on the clues bombs for Drake's d Riders.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: There are people.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Amongst us who sit on Drake's penis the way Drake
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: was sitting on the siantawer on have used album cover. Okay,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: but even with Drake's huge fan base, don't think for
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: one second, whatever the label UMG was doing to promote
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: you know, not like us, they were doing the same thing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: For you your whole career. Okay.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: If one of those diss records you put out would
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: have taken off and been a cultural phenomenon like not
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: like us, the record label would have pushed that to
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: how would.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: You be clowning Kendrick right now?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: If Kendrick said, you know, UMG, you didn't have to
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: let Drake put that record out of choosing me, of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: beating my lady. You didn't have to let Drake put
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: that record out saying my child isn't really mine. I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: trying to get you to see why you look like
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a complete and total sucker Drake. Okay, not to mention
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: once again, you are a huge artist, but don't believe
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: your own hype too much because those same tricks you
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: are accusing UMG of doing for not like us. They
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: have done for you your whole career. There was a
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: time when Drake was on the cover of every playlist
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: on the browser page of Spotify.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, they did it with Apple two.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I think it was called School and Season or something
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: like that, and he took over multiple playlists on the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: same day. All I'm saying, Aubrey is stop acting like
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: you haven't been the beneficiary of record label technology. Okay,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: you being a whole hole simply because you lost, simply
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: because Kendrick Lamar kicked your ass.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Lyrically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And anybody acting like this is anything more than Drake's
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: feelings being hurt. You a hoe to a ov ho
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: to be exact. Okay, he's fighting the same war that
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Michael Jackson fought. Drake is taking a stand for the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: art and the artist. People who are running with that
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: narrative would hold Drake's penis while he peas and shake
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: it for him when he's finished. Okay, Drake has been
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: handling this terribly since not like us dropped, and please
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: let's keep this in mind. Drake, You're in this position
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: because you tapped out. Okay, you chose to tap out
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: after you heard not like us, Kendrick dropped too much
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: tune for your head top Okay, he gave you Euphoria
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: six one six in La Meet the Grams and not
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: like us. It was too much for you because you
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: didn't have to tap out after the hard part six.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: You could have went in the studio and gave us
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a bop you the bop guy. You could have got
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: with some ghost riders, went in the studio and wrote
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: it hit the combat not like us, but you chose
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: not to get tapped out Kendrick one and he told
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: you to squabble up, not lawyer up. But you chose
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: to get the lawyers because you lost the squabble.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Please give Aubrey Drake cram to sweet Sounds of the Hamiltons.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You, Oh the day, Oh the day.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Ye. And I'm gonna tell Drake exactly, you know what
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I've been telling him since the summer. Take a break,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: go away, let nostalgia bring you back. People will miss you.
