Elliott Wilson says that he was disappointed by Drake's newest attempt to diss Kendrick Lamar on "The Heart Part 6." He discussed the track during a phone call with DJ Akademiks while the live streamer was broadcasting. Wilson argued that Drake's strategy for the beef isn't doing him any favors.
"I'm actually very disappointed in this song," he admitted. "The problem I'm having with Drake in this whole thing is that he refuses to view Kendrick as a worthy opponent. He still keeps little bro-ing him like we're in the Club Paradise days. I just don't think that's the right strategy, He needs to deliver bars and go at him. He hadn't even made a whole record direct to Kendrick yet. He's all about airing everyone out that's going against him. Obviously, there's a whole movement and Metro orchestrated a lot of it."

From there, Wilson added: "He doesn't get why Kendrick is so big and why people love him so much and the type of music he makes and the success he has. He doesn't connect to it." When Ak pointed out that Lamar has similar feelings toward Drake, Wilson argued. "I think a lot of people don't like Drake but they all respect him. You can't not respect the boy because of what he's done." Wilson also noted that both are "great" rappers. Check out the full conversation below.
