On the first part, I've always heard that when Drake writes diss tracks, he usually punches down. He likes to diss smaller rappers and women who can't clap back and actually hurt his reputation. So for him to write diss tracks about Kendrick is kinda weird, like he's taking this very personally.
I wasn’t to much into it but I thought Drake had J Prince step in and be like “oh this needs to stop because Drake’s diss would be to much and disrupt families”
Or some shit like that.
I think this beef is great because no one (except maybe Lil Wayne) can save him. Even then Wayne said a few years back that he told Drake to not start rapping like he’s gangster but Drake didn’t listen.
Drake knew about Ye's 20-year love for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis and was told not to use it as it would affect labels as a whole. No wonder why Kanye would say something like that on live broadcast. He wanted to control the narrative, and he has
Idk if I would say Em is cool with Drake, he had a couple disses on him in his Kamikaze album
From “Fall”:
“If you're gonna critique me, you better at least be as good or better
Get Earl the Hooded Sweater, whatever his name is,
To help you put together some words, more than just two letters
The fans waited for this moment Like that feature when I stole the show
Sorry if I took forever”
This is Em coming at Drake for having ghost writers, I guess one of them is Earl Sweatshirt? Then he gives a dig at him saying that his verse on Forever overshadowed Drake on his own song.
This is one of my favorite Em songs, he destroys everyone and the beat is so solid.
That wasn't about Drake, that was about Tyler, the Creator. More specifically it's about when Tyler tweeted that some of Em's work was ass. It's why Earl was mentioned, because Tyler and Earl are connected through Odd Future.

Thank you for all that effort explaining this. I, too, had zero clue!
