So... how do we make this happen? 10 minutes a day with a Go-Pro is fine. There is no need to touch up the video or edit anything. They can just screen record their FaceTime.
Do... do we start a petition? I'm calling the local news station. Spread the word!
It was most probably Colin considering he is an actor and HUGE into music. So much so he has his own radio show.

This is dumb but that reminds me of when Ron Howard came into the Starbucks I worked at in 1990-1991 and ordered a hot cocoa and it just seemed like the most Ron Howard order there could be.
Dang, read that whole thing thinking Chet asked that of his dad and I’m all “holy shit, Tom Hanks really knows *everything,* what a fantastic father to share that god-level omniscience”
U got no legs lieutenant Dan / I got u ice cream you put it in your bed pan / I crip walk with Oscars and a bottle of hennnay cuz I got married to jennayyyy / I know I'm pretty dumb but I got a smart son / that's all I got to say about that my friend/ we like peas n carrots all over again
This beef and everything surrounding it is insanely interesting. I hate how Fandoms and popculture obsessed people can be about celebs but this shit got me on the edge of my seat lol. Like I'm dying to know if anything gonna come of these allegations with r Kelly and now Sean combs goin down. If the shits true fuckin bury him
I feel ya man I just don't follow these dudes or rap much at all so I'm unfamiliar with it all. But even I've heard about these allegations way before this beef. All I really know about drake is that he had money from the beginning so Started from the bottom now we here really rubbed me wrong coming from Jimmy brooks and once in like 2012 or 13 I matched with drake and a couple of dudes on omegele which was weird lol
Drake is the epitome of a bought image.
There was no struggle. He lived in the suburbs, got rich in a TV show, and a record label turned him into the Backstreet Boys. Even that is lyrics written by a team of ghost writers, mind you.
He would have been fine if he just stayed in his lane and made music that women liked, but he's always been obsessed with being viewed as the greatest, and the greatest in rap isn't about commercial success - it's about legitimacy, which he has none. He is maximum corny to anyone who has ever lived any kind of life, and that's why he gets clowned on extra hard every single time he has a beef.
He just happens to also be a gross dude who grooms and fucks kids.
Fuckin well said, that's about what I've gleaned over this whole affair. Dude "stepping away from music for health reasons" in response is just 🤌. Really hope they can build a case cause he's got people scrubbing his records of anything that might get em as we speak.
Back in the 90’s my dad would come home from work and watch Batman: The Animated Series with me every day. I thought he just really liked Batman. Didn’t dawn on me until adulthood that he didn’t give a shit about Batman, he just wanted to spend time with me doing something I enjoyed.
Best comment I saw was after Not Like Us dropped Drake had apparently decided to "maturely move on" from the beef.
"I have made the mature decision to stop having my ass whooped"
I think the funniest thing about this has been that before this whole feud happened Drake was the only one of these guys I had heard of, and the one thing I knew about him was that he was completely forgettable. All this Feud did for me is inform me that even his business rivals think he’s forgettable.
J Cole makes music to get you laid. He should have just stayed in his lane and he'd be fine.
Kendrick is a legitimate contender for GOAT and coming after him is lmao
Yeah, I ended up listening to some of the work from all three to at least form my own thoughts on the matter. When I was done I was just like “You guys decided to try and compare yourself to HIM?”
Punching at someone above their weight class by substantial degrees.
Let’s not discredit J Cole. Dude is a fucking beast as well. He’s also the one who put Kendrick in touch with Dre and a huge reason for why Kendrick is so successful lol.
J Cole is probably on a beach somewhere being real fuckin glad he dipped out of that beef. I like to think kendrick told him that he only wants Drake and that the shit is getting bad so homie needs to dip out gracefully
Dude is so talented that he's got mad props from Eminem. Him and Em have a lot of respect for each other. They've actually produced music together.
When Em met Kendrick, he thought Kendrick used ghost writers, so he had everyone except him and Kendrick leave the room under the guise of writing with just the two of them . Dude spit bars so well that Eminem's doubts were thrown out the window.
Point of the matter is... their ruse work. Now you know more of them, listened to their music, etc.
There will never be a net -ve for starting dramas. They can only fail upwards in today's world.
Is he talking to Chet? If he is, he's a good dad. Chet is way out there compared to the type of person Tom seems to be, but he talks to him in a way that doesn't alienate Chet for the way he likes to live (Even if it is just with a small inside joke between them, using slang that sounds funny coming from Tom Hanks of all people)
Thought the same thing when reading this interaction. I suspect the media makes it seem like he’s more of a black sheep than he actually is within the family.
Chet has done nothing to disprove his established crown as king of the douche bags, but Tom is still his dad and Chet isn't going to improve without some family support.
I am fighting the image of him bouncing around doing a bad Heath Ledger as Joker impression. I don't know where it's from but whenever Chet Hanks is mentioned it creeps up unbidden.
I’m pretty sure he is talking to Chet. He said s at the beginning that he asked his son about the beef. If he’s asking that question I’m pretty certain he’s talking to Chet
I was there at skyline high back in 1994 when he gave the graduation speech. I remember the last thing he said was about his upcoming movie "Forrest Gump" coming out.
That’s hilarious.
For those unaware tho, Drake and Kendrick had real beef. It’s why others told J Cole to stay out of it. J Cole actually wanted Kendrick on the Drake song, which is why Cole had that verse about the big 3. He totally thought Kendrick was going to be featured on it with him.
The idea of this famous celebrity chatting over messenger with his son is....kinda funny to me. Like, they're, in reality, just a normal person, with family and all that normal stuff.
OMG, I'm rolling on the floor! Tears - I've got Tears in my eyes!!!!! This is such a great father / son interaction on so many levels, plus a great explanation, lmao. I want the Tom Hanks & Son explainer every week on current events please!!!!
As a non-american I had to Google a lot of the words from the phrase "Crip walk with a stank face while clutching an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then dap him up and tell him ", but it appears as Kendrick has won.
If you don't know much about tom hanks son chet. Please watch this, it makes this text sooooo much better knowing how he speaks and acts:
https://youtu.be/iy47RTZRy9w?feature=shared
"Who's winning?" is so relatable. I could message something equally long to thoroughly explain something to my mom and she will respond with something like "who's winning?"
I would like to subscribe to Chet and Tom’s newsletter explaining complicated pop culture issues of the day. They can call it “Town Bidness”.
"....brought to you by Big Main."
Town bidness brought to you by big main n pops
Yeah I laughed at that, I always wrote it "Big Mane" when I call someone that. I never ever thought about writing it with an I. Funny
I always thought it was just "Big Man" but pronounced enthusiastically how someone with a drug habit probably says it
10/10. Would also like to subscribe to Big Main & Pops’ Town Bidness.

Each episode should have a segment called "Holy Cow!!"
So... how do we make this happen? 10 minutes a day with a Go-Pro is fine. There is no need to touch up the video or edit anything. They can just screen record their FaceTime. Do... do we start a petition? I'm calling the local news station. Spread the word!
It was most probably Colin considering he is an actor and HUGE into music. So much so he has his own radio show. https://medium.com/@GiacoFurino/colin-hanks-is-a-record-fiend-213bc1014aa8
Colin is superior to Chet. I'll die on this hill.
Tom Hanks reacting to something with ‘Holy cow!’ Is the most Tom hanks thing ever lol
This is dumb but that reminds me of when Ron Howard came into the Starbucks I worked at in 1990-1991 and ordered a hot cocoa and it just seemed like the most Ron Howard order there could be.
Narrator: “It was.”
Why did I just read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice?!
I’m not sure, since the intention was for it to be in Ron Howard’s voice
Unless otherwise specified, the role of "Narrator" is exclusively played by Morgan Freeman, regardless of your intent.
Sounds like someone needs to watch Arrested Development! You're in for a treat; it's hilarious.
Great semicolon.
I’ll jump in and second that semicolon usage too
The whole meme of "Narrator: It was" is based on Ron Howard's narration in Arrested Development.
Or James Earl Jones.
Narrator: And it worked, too.
Because you haven't seen Arrested Development?
🏅🏅🏅
Hahahhahaha
Was thinking that myself
Dang, read that whole thing thinking Chet asked that of his dad and I’m all “holy shit, Tom Hanks really knows *everything,* what a fantastic father to share that god-level omniscience”
Right?!
Crip walking with an Oscar in each hand 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I would pay good money to see Hanks do that.
“I started..moving around to the music; swinging my hips.”
Don’t forget the stank face!
LOL
He'd probably walk out getting another Oscar for his performance
Tom Danks
I'd pay good money to hear Morgan Freeman narrate that, lol
I'd pay Beyonce concert ticket prices for that.
You’d need to for Tom damn hanks!
Thought Oscar was slang for something, did not think it would be the award haha
The actual imagery of this really sent me, I want to see it so badly haha
Tom Hanks seems so dope. He weaved in a "Town bidness" out of nowhere!
I think that was Chet Hanks. Chet explained the beef
This dude thought that Tom Hanks wrote all that 😂
"Rap beefs are like a box of chocolate..."
U got no legs lieutenant Dan / I got u ice cream you put it in your bed pan / I crip walk with Oscars and a bottle of hennnay cuz I got married to jennayyyy / I know I'm pretty dumb but I got a smart son / that's all I got to say about that my friend/ we like peas n carrots all over again
Tom Hanks is the one who failed to read it to the end.
Tom Hanks thinking about this first thing in the morning
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fkg6mu7dlkt491.jpg
I miss this meme
You should buy a boat.
This beef and everything surrounding it is insanely interesting. I hate how Fandoms and popculture obsessed people can be about celebs but this shit got me on the edge of my seat lol. Like I'm dying to know if anything gonna come of these allegations with r Kelly and now Sean combs goin down. If the shits true fuckin bury him
It is definitely true. Drake being gross with young girls is well known. Dude does it fucking on stage.
I feel ya man I just don't follow these dudes or rap much at all so I'm unfamiliar with it all. But even I've heard about these allegations way before this beef. All I really know about drake is that he had money from the beginning so Started from the bottom now we here really rubbed me wrong coming from Jimmy brooks and once in like 2012 or 13 I matched with drake and a couple of dudes on omegele which was weird lol

Beautifully said…and for some reason, makes me want to call him Corned Beef Hash.
Maybe giving too much credit. Remember them soy burgers in school cafeterias, he's like that and calls himself a big Mac
Now now you know he wrote for himself when he said "If I'm a liar then why aren't my pants on fire?" You must give him credit where credit is due.
I assume this is his son, Chet? He probably saw it as something that he could chat with his son about and leapt at the chance :)
It would be funnier if this were Colin Hanks
Back in the 90’s my dad would come home from work and watch Batman: The Animated Series with me every day. I thought he just really liked Batman. Didn’t dawn on me until adulthood that he didn’t give a shit about Batman, he just wanted to spend time with me doing something I enjoyed.
That is a really fucking good summary of the Drake and Kendrick feud tbh.
I thought it was this back and forth thing happening but apparently Drake is pretty fucking useless 🤷 TIL
Best comment I saw was after Not Like Us dropped Drake had apparently decided to "maturely move on" from the beef. "I have made the mature decision to stop having my ass whooped"
Except he didn’t. He technically got the last word but it was so bad people are questioning his reading comprehension
Drake isn't just useless - he's got 20 ghost writers who are ALSO useless lol
I think the funniest thing about this has been that before this whole feud happened Drake was the only one of these guys I had heard of, and the one thing I knew about him was that he was completely forgettable. All this Feud did for me is inform me that even his business rivals think he’s forgettable.

Eminem. Him and em. You’ll never be the em I see on the m i c lookin ass
Point of the matter is... their ruse work. Now you know more of them, listened to their music, etc. There will never be a net -ve for starting dramas. They can only fail upwards in today's world.
> He should have just stayed in his lane and he'd be fine He bowed out though at the right time. He knew what it was and didn't want it.
I needed this myself and now I'm totally updated. Thanks hanks' son.
I had 0 knowledge of this fued beyond that it happened. Now I feel ready to present to the class.
I was out of the loop up until this post. Am old.
Super educational. I was mostly out of the loop
Makes sense why Michael Che almost shit his pants during the Joke Swap Weekend Update on SNL.
Ngl, I wanted to know what this was since last week, this summary was godsend.
Hanks using “main” is hilarious.
Is he talking to Chet? If he is, he's a good dad. Chet is way out there compared to the type of person Tom seems to be, but he talks to him in a way that doesn't alienate Chet for the way he likes to live (Even if it is just with a small inside joke between them, using slang that sounds funny coming from Tom Hanks of all people)
Thought the same thing when reading this interaction. I suspect the media makes it seem like he’s more of a black sheep than he actually is within the family.
It’s because he reminds everyone of *Malibu’s Most Wanted*
Ay yo traffic traffic looking for my chapstick
Oh my god that made me laugh
Because he is
Chet has done nothing to disprove his established crown as king of the douche bags, but Tom is still his dad and Chet isn't going to improve without some family support. I am fighting the image of him bouncing around doing a bad Heath Ledger as Joker impression. I don't know where it's from but whenever Chet Hanks is mentioned it creeps up unbidden.
Tom knows this is something his son surely cares about, so he’s asking him about his interests. Truly wholesome.
I’m pretty sure he is talking to Chet. He said s at the beginning that he asked his son about the beef. If he’s asking that question I’m pretty certain he’s talking to Chet
I missed it, but it literally said Chet hanx at the vet to of the picture lol
Yes
BIG main!! I am deceased btw, writing from the other side cuz that killed me.
“Holy cow” killed me haha
It’s like Dr. evil talking to his son
What does that mean? I thought he misspelled big man.
“mayne” is slang for man.
It could be, but “main” or “mayne” is just slang for man.
Don't forget mangg
I’m guessing it’s maybe shorthand for “My main man” or something along those lines
https://youtu.be/ZgyU0LyWZ9M?si=kcpRPiW67uihYhtO
Thanks Chet! I honestly needed to be educated too. Loved his last line… “Did you not read what I just said?”
Can’t blame him lmao🤣
Thank you for explaining this in simple terms for an old British woman eating chocolate in bed next to my cat.
Oddly specific lol
I too, a 31 yr old man the US, am also an old British woman because I also like to eat chocolate, lay in bed, and spend time with my cats
Tom Hanks addressing his son as 'Big Main' in a private message is not something I ever could have imagined would warm my heart in so strange a way.
And he’s saved as “Pops” in his phone.
Tom hanks and I went to the same high school! He funded our theater. Great guy!
I was there at skyline high back in 1994 when he gave the graduation speech. I remember the last thing he said was about his upcoming movie "Forrest Gump" coming out.
That’s crazy. I went to school down the street in 94 Man remember Sparkys hamburgers on redwood road? Fuck me they are awesome, too bad I moved away
Were you at the basketball game where Tom and Chet showed up and everyone went apeshit?
This is actually funny.
He really does need a god damn volleyball to explain it to him
I was like how could you not get that, you landed a plane on water, dodged torpedos from u-boats, ran across America twic... ... oh OK, I see it now.
I need more old Dad Tom Hanks in my life. He’s the closest thing to Mr.Rogers we have left. He is a treasure, and good nature for the soul.
Check out his recent appearance on the rest is history podcast. Just having a good time talking about people walking on the moon.
I’ve seen Chet interviewed a few times and never once did I think he was capable of this level of grammar, let alone clarity and thoughtfulness.
Lots of people are better in text
lmao i was thinking the same thing while reading this
I read this whole thing in Chet’s weird faux-Jamaican accent.
I mean his entire family is very well educated. It's just osmosis at a certain point
He went to Northwestern!
I thought so too but he does seem pretty intelligent actually
diss Chet, bad move bro.
Can you give me a summary of Chet's history. I didn't know Tom Hanks had a "black sheep" son of the family
You need Chet to explain that to you...
https://youtu.be/iy47RTZRy9w?feature=shared So good!
That last sentence is insane
I had to go look if there were actually any full stops because my brain read that whole thing as a giant run on.
« Are ya winning son » energy
Omg yes that’s exactly it
Poor Tom. I am lost too my man!
*main
Tom Hanks has probably been confused since he took 13-year-old Chet to the premiere of *8 Mile.*
😆😆
I read “holy cow” in Tom Hanks voice
🤣 love how this humanized him. Just a dad. Lol
"These are fighting words" made me laugh so hard. That's such a Tom Hanks way to say it. This is wholesome as hell.
That’s hilarious. For those unaware tho, Drake and Kendrick had real beef. It’s why others told J Cole to stay out of it. J Cole actually wanted Kendrick on the Drake song, which is why Cole had that verse about the big 3. He totally thought Kendrick was going to be featured on it with him.
My username is so relevant right now. Was that last sentence a wild ride for anyone else?
I still don’t understand it. I need Tom Hanks to explain to me in actual English.
Wasn't Drake trying to hang out with Billie Eilish when she was 16?
And Millie Bobbi Brown at 14
And both of them were like “he texts me all the time and is the nicest guy ever 🥺” gave me the creeps
"He gives me advice on boys"
ChetGPT
Great dads ask their kids about their interests. Tom is a real one.
The idea of this famous celebrity chatting over messenger with his son is....kinda funny to me. Like, they're, in reality, just a normal person, with family and all that normal stuff.
This is also how I was educated about the beef r/todayilearned
I love that the picture of his dad/tom is like from 1986.
Bombaclat
I swear I'm losing my shit you tethered me to reality these guys don't knowwww
Town bidness!
Most hella dope line in the whole thing!
Can someone clarify what Big Main said. I understood until the last half of the explanation.
Right? Everyone in here is talking about how articulate it is but I got lost with a bunch of slang I don't know what it means
Tom Hanks really is America's Sweetheart.
From another over 50 yr old, I thank Tom for asking the hard questions
I’m glad someone explained the beef to me because I was wondering myself
OMG, I'm rolling on the floor! Tears - I've got Tears in my eyes!!!!! This is such a great father / son interaction on so many levels, plus a great explanation, lmao. I want the Tom Hanks & Son explainer every week on current events please!!!!
I would pay Netflix Subscription-level money to watch this show.
This can’t be real right now
Toms reply has strong „damn that’s crazy 😳 (didn’t actually read the text)“ energy
„Explain it to me like I am Tom Hanks“ would make for a good subreddit
Showing why Chet is Chet with that last bit.
Like two mules fighting over a turnip
I’m so glad a rap god like Chet Haze could explain the world
He really is a good actor.
He ran to Greece like Drake ran out of la lol
I need "crip walking with a stank face" as a flair
I'm still on Big Main
As a non-american I had to Google a lot of the words from the phrase "Crip walk with a stank face while clutching an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then dap him up and tell him", but it appears as Kendrick has won.
Couldn’t even make it through the EL5
When someone needs the ELI50 because the ELI5 is filled with jargon and runon sentences 
I dont care if it is real or not... This explanation was all the perfect easy low effort throwaway explanation I needed for this feud.
Had no idea Tom hanks was from Oakland
I’m literally applauding Chet for explaining it so succinctly thanks to this man
Bro has 368 unread messages wtf
If you don't know much about tom hanks son chet. Please watch this, it makes this text sooooo much better knowing how he speaks and acts: https://youtu.be/iy47RTZRy9w?feature=shared
Today, I learned I'm Tom Hanks asking my kids for info on entertainment industry drama. This is exactly how they'd explain this to me.
"Who's winning?" is so relatable. I could message something equally long to thoroughly explain something to my mom and she will respond with something like "who's winning?"
Tom Hanks is from Oakland?
Chet Hanks gets on my nerves but this is legit adorable.
I like how their relationship is exactly Malibu's most wanted
Literally, news we can use.
I’ve never appreciated Tom Hanks more. I didn’t understand the whole thing until now.
This was actually helpful.
Tom hanks is such a nice dude
I literally read toms text with a mental image of woody.
The image of Tom Hanks proclaiming ‘Town Bidness’ with a stank face will stay with me forever.
I still haven't listened to one song... but this tells me everything I need to know.
I pictured Chet explaining this like Luis in Ant-Man. It made it a lot easier to read. 😂😂😂
I asked my 13 year old to explain this to same thing to me: he broke it down for about 20 minuets in perfect detail.
He just explained it to me, too. Lol
There was no feud, it was simply Lamar teaching Drake how not to make shitty music.
This is definitely from the son that does the Jamaican accent
