UMG and Def Jam are censoring artists who associate with Drake's rivals, exemplified by their demand to remove Kendrick Lamar's verse from Clipse's upcoming album despite it reportedly not containing any direct disses.
• Clipse's album "Let God Sort Them Out" has been delayed after label demands to censor or remove Kendrick's verse
• Pusha T and No Malice stood firm against censorship, resulting in them being dropped by Def Jam
• The duo secured a distribution deal with Roc Nation after standing their ground
• This situation contradicts claims that UMG is plotting against Drake
• Corporate intervention in hip-hop creates a dangerous precedent for artistic expression
• Drake's industry influence appears to be dictating who other artists can collaborate with
• The music industry is entering an era where labels take sides in personal beefs
• Artists face punishment based on associations rather than actual content
