I thought Drake lost his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar upon the release of “Not Like Us.” But really, the defeat came weeks later. I was one of 16,000 people in attendance at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA for Kendrick’s Ken and Friend Juneeteenth concert. I saw fans, in unison, scream how much they hated the way that Drake walked, talked, and dressed. I saw Drake contemporaries like YG, Steve Lacey, and NBA legend Russell Westbrook dance onstage as Kendrick performed “Not Like Us” six times in a row. It was surreal—not only the moment in the building, but also how viral the concert became.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
