As someone who is not that much into music or Drake: What am I looking at here?

Basically, it seems like unreleased versions, samples, etc working directory content of musicians are very coveted online.

I would probably compare this to what programmers call "working in public" when they just dump progress constantly on GitHub.

A mid-life crisis.

Kendrick clearly weighed heavy on his mind.

A bunch of stuff you will absolutely not care about. Unreleased music, rough cuts, behind the scenes footage, promo materials, etc. . .

Nothing about the content itself that would be interesting to the average HN reader, but I think this is the first time a celebrity has officially released a massive data dump like this.

It's early to say--I don't think anyone has had time to watch this yet--but the Drake/Kendrick beef[1] is the biggest thing happening in rap right now, so it's hard to imagine that this is unrelated. If nothing else, it could just be a distraction from the bad press he's been getting.

Ha, I love that the templating is similar to that of actual wars in Wiki.

He has to do something big to take all the attention off the other stuff he's doing. The not so good stuff.
