I swear to god we’re gonna have to hire a private investigator team because there’s hidden children, domestic abuse, sex trafficking, false backstories…
Nardwuar can’t interview Drake because he’ll pull out a third undisclosed child to ask questions about.
edit: apologies for disrespecting our clashing plaid king w a typo
The haters at the bottom of this thread are ridiculous. In what world is this manufactured beef when Kendrick calls drake a sex offender and that he thinks he should die
I don’t think Drake nor Kendrick have enough issue with Cole to have the gas to keep him in this beef even if he wanted to be there.
“Drake you are a kid diddler, and you are hiding a second child while taking Ozempic and being a deadbeat to the mothers of your children. Go die. And Cole, you could be charting a little better.”
Now, More than anything, I want both of them to drop distracts at J. Cole that are equally nuance and layered and well written, But all the implications are extremely minor. Kendrick be like “ I’m the biggest hater, I hate your underwhelming return on investment, I hate how crooked you park in the parking space, I hate how the pictures on your walls in your house also are also slightly crooked, I hate that your TV is too high in your living room, I hate that you left your Christmas decorations out for too long.”
Cole politely walking away from this beef looks like a better decision with every track they drop lol. Although I’ll say, I doubt there’s much they could say about him
It feels like Kendrick’s “don’t tell lies about me, I won’t tell truths about you” was a warning that every diss from Drake is going to mean another response track uploaded immediately and Meet the Grahams is reinforcing that
Kendrick gotta have a vault ready to be opened
Yeah its starting to feel like Kendrick spent the two weeks since push ups in the booth recording a whole vault of diss tracks, and is just sitting there on his laptop deciding which one is pertinent to whatever just got released.
I've managed to not hear any of the diss tracks either way, and I have no idea how it started, just that it's happening.
But knowing Kendrick Lamar, I can't think of anyone I'd avoid publicly challenging more than him. There's literally not a single better wordsmith out there right now. I'm pretty sure he alone could churn out twenty minutes of hard hitting bars on top of an artistic beat of his own creation in half the time it would take a team of ten Drakes to put out something that's barely decent over a Great Value™ sample.
If you want some context on the history:
Kendrick & Drake have been sneak dissing each other for years and years at this point. Idk why but Kendrick decided to turn this into a direct battle on the Like That record, then it all went crazy from there.
If you are a fan of the word play make sure you look up all the breakdowns of Euphoria and 6:16
Honestly it'll be a WHILE before someone's got a cohesive break-down of all the lyricism in Kendricks new songs.
Just the title's ALONE are like.. 6-7 layers deep of stuff, being Euphoria and 6:16:
6-16-11 was the date of Kendricks first show in Toronto, Canada.
6-16-19 (I think) was the date Euphoria aired on HBO Max.
6-16-94 was the date OJ Simpson's trial case was submitted (hence the single Maybach glove in the image on instagram).
~~6-16-24 Kendrick has a show in Toronto, AGAIN.~~ (*I think what I saw was just about the 2011 show*)
6:16 and Euphoria both sample "Back to Back Hits" by Al Green and Teddy Pendergrass. ~~Al Green is Drake's uncle or something~~ Al Green's Bassist is Drake's uncle (as someone has informed me), and obviously a reference to Drakes "back 2 back" as Kendrick says "I'd like to get back to that record" and brings all that full circle.
Tupac's birthday was 6-16.
6-16-24 is Fathers day, KDot is accusing him of hiding a bastard son, and being a neglectful father, so this date is particularly relevant.
Multiple 6:16 bible verses are possibly being alluded too. Particularly Proverbs 6:16-19 "A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief." given what with him referencing his lying and "betrayals" that Drake's done.
And that's just like... The titles alone. That's hardly even discussing the *contents* of the song (God that Haley Joel Osment, Joel Osteen "mix up" was so good).
***EDIT:*** Added some stuff about Al Green. But..
Also I forgot the piece de resistance for this, this was ALL done because Drake asked for a "quintuple entendre" and Kendrick's been PULLING OUT layered references and disses. "6:16 in LA" was dropped at approximately 6:16 in LA (It was dropped around 9 AM Eastern Time, which would be roughly 6AM Pacific Time), which is a reference to Drake's song "5AM in Toronto", which just adds a whole OTHER LAYER to the thing.
***EDIT 2:***
Drake's second diss was "Taylor Made", 6:16 is made by one of Taylor Swift's producers, which while isn't directly relevant to the title of 6:16, is still a title refernce to *Drakes song*. As people inform me of more references I'll continue to update. If you see something you think is relevant, drop a comment!
***Edit 3*** Added directly into the list that 6-16 is Father's day. This is important because Kendrick *directly* accuses Aubrey of being a neglectful father, and *hiding a bastard son*.
It's just so sinister and eerie
Like the whole song makes you feel so uneasy. The piano, the way he's saying things and the things he's saying. That uneasiness grows too throughout the song, I almost had to take a break
This shit is getting really vicious
i stfg i happened to be online within minutes of it dropping, i don't even follow hip hop that much, i felt the way react youtubers act but in real life. someone in somebody's circle is actually gonna die over this.
That’s exactly how it feels to watch it all unfolding. The creeping sense that this ends in blood or someone in prison or both. And the weirdest shit about it is that Kendrick is operating out of Cali where they just passed that law protecting lyricism was from legal scrutiny and accountability.
I want to be in the room, watching as these men scramble for old, unused beats mumbling to themselves that they’re sure they left that perfect beat for this next diss track in the folder marked “only for emergencies.”
Drakes writing diss tracks to boost his profile
Kendricks writing Diss Tracks to end them
When this started, I assumed this was some fake beef to drum up sales. I didnt mind because even the fake stuff can move mountains.
But Kendrick brought Kobe into this
Drake is just thinking business as usual.
Kendrick is at war and already had the sabotage, surprise and flanks setup.
Drake got K-Dricked.
If you come at the Kendrick, you best not miss.
I swear, I am like a rap enthusiast, and this makes the MGK and Eminem beef look PG comparatively.
It really feels like Kendrick found out that Drake like, molested one of his nieces of nephews or something. This track was super personal.
Em and Mgk was nothing. Papa had to put down the family dog. Em had way more intense beefs during the 90s and 2ks. Kendrick's obscene hatred however is something I don't think I've ever seen before in hip hop. And if what he said is true, Drake needs to be stopped.
I'm all the way back to L.L Cool J and Kool Moe Dee old. This sounds way different than anything I've ever heard. This was like the serial killer reading his manifesto one last time.
Kendrick has already told him he hates him and wishes he was dead. Now he is telling the whole family the ways they fucked up and raised a monster. Tells Adonis that his grandpa should have worn a condom and he hates the idea of Adonis growing up and having to stand behind Drake. Then tells him that if he doesn't understand to listen again when he turns eighteen.
He straight up says he believes Drake is a perv that should be locked away forever or killed and that Drake turned on the only rapper (Kendrick) that could help him. Then he mentions shooting through any perv left alive.
I'm not saying Kendrick Lamar is going to harm Drake. I'm saying this vibe is way different than anything I've heard. Plus the way the piano is playing the horror movie style melody is uncomfortable. It is like Clive Barker and Shakespeare at the same time. This was put together to create psychological discomfort in every way possible.
If we were to compare this beef with anything it would be Drakes and Pusha T's beef from a few years back. But Meet the Graham's is like Story of Adidon on crack!
Meet The Grahams was a literal psychological horrific downward spiral. It got worst after every line, I left it with goosebumps and a feeling of disgust in my stomach. Ending it with “fuck a rap battle, this a life long battle with yourself” is such a haunting way to end this shit.
Lord have mercy, Kendrick has a Pulitzer for a reason..
This might be the most hateful piece of music I've heard in my life. This isn't a fun beef, this is a man trying to destroy another man's life.
I love it.
Yeah people might say it’s weak, but he essentially was starting but then probably realized how messy it was gonna be, from what I know about the dude he likes his privacy
Given that many people both love Kendrick and Cole it makes sense. Why divide your fanbase over a personal beef that isn’t about you. He released a song out of pride and quickly realized that this isn’t your typical hoorah rap beef. This is some deeeeep personal beef
39 here. I love Jay, but Ether was just murder. Nas crushed that. I remember having these discussions in my high school classes when this was happening.
36 year old that left rap scene in 2008 and went to metal. I am absolutely loving this shit! It’s been a minute since heavy hitters started beefing right?
Kendrick went extra petty on 616 - he got Taylor Swift's producer for the track after Drake referenced her on his diss. It's so petty, I'm living for this
Kendrick also manipulated the sample so it sounds like Al Green says “Boy wonder”. Boi-1da is a Jamaican producer who’s done work for Drake before and was supposedly the one leaking inside info to Kendrick.
Random fun fact - Boi 1da is lives in the Toronto suburb where my gf lives and him and Drake had the city install high speed internet in the city just so they could make beats. I’m just picturing this guy dealing with slow internet speeds while working for Drake and being like “fuck it, I’m calling Kenny”
That track was monstrous. Drake could apologize for talking shit and say that Kendrick wins, and it would be a lot less embarrassing than what gonna happen if it continues.
I really feel like Drake shouldn’t be starting this type of shit when he’s got an entire morgue’s worth of skeletons in his closet. Like, Kendrick’s spoiled for choice.
Idk it's clear he's outclassed but if he backs down then it's not like it'll go away. It will still be brought up like how Eminem is brought up whenever Machine Gun Kelly is talked about.
>Here’s your moment .. this is it, as big as you’re gonna get, so enjoy it.. **Had to give you a career to destroy it.**
GAH DAMN sometimes I forget why nobody still touches Em.
Probably but from a personal pride stance I'd be thinking different. Like if Kendrick Lamar was coming out with these songs about me I'd feel pretty down.
Drake can never lose. Pusha T effectively destroyed the man and he went on to have one of the most successful careers we’ve ever seen. Kendrick has him beat from all angles, he cannot win, but he’ll never lose.
> Drake: "How do i diss the jack ass who fucked one of my BM's then went on to impregnate the girl of my dreams multiple times?"
>Drake on Family Matters: "You keep dressing well and fucking the girl of my dreams"
i don't know what in the world he was thinking when he decided to jump in with "i hit it first", knowing his BM had highly publicized rumors about her and Drake
Not even a trap, that was a warning and Drake should have taken the hint and not responded lol. The line “make music to pacify them I can double down on that line but I’ll spare you this time that’s random acts of kindness” and “if you take it there, I’m taking it further that’s something you don’t wanna do”
Obviously Kendrick’s knows more than he said in that track unless he thought he was bluffing, and he sure did. Just waiting for Drake to say anything about the ovo and underage allegations cause he keeps ignoring those but denied his daughter, which is strange for sure.
This shit has been insane. I was not expecting to wake up this morning to see a Drake response so soon and then *another* Kendrick track almost immediately afterwards.
I was boutta go to bed when that shit dropped, and boy did it wake me back up. Kendrick had that one in the chamber, and the way Meet the Grahams abruptly ends just screams “there’s more where that came from”
He roped him in with Harvey Weinstein, then went on to say anyone seen with him is complicit and told lebron and curry to keep their kids away from him!
Fuck, he said that Drake *leaves his kids with his employees, who he knows are pedophiles.* It turns the specific word choice "monthly allowance" into a *really fucking dark double entendre.*
Kendrick spent 2 songs telling Drake to not go down that path about the domestic violence.
Euphoria:
> I calculate you're not as calculated, I can even predict your angle / Fabricatin' stories on the family front 'cause you heard Mr. Morale
> We ain't gotta get personal, this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way / I know some shit about n***** that make Gunna Wunna look like a saint
> Why would I call around tryna get dirt on n*****? Y'all think all my life is rap? / That's ho shit, I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that
6:16 In LA:
> Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? Let's see / Have you ever thought that OVO is workin' for me?
> It was fun until you started to put money in the streets
Then lost money 'cause they came back with no receipts / I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace
But war-ready if the world is ready to see you bleed
> But let me tell you some game 'cause I can see you, my lil' homie / You playin' dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya / You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots / But your reality can't hide behind wifi
But Drake didn’t want to listen. Maybe he didn’t think Kendrick had receipts? But the album art for both 6:16 In LA and Meet the Grahams show Kendrick’s got them while the entire time Kendrick told Drake to not try that angle because:
> But don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truths 'bout you
Kendrick released a verse on a song in 2013 called Control where he name dropped a lot of rappers. Drake didn’t appreciate that and they have been taking subliminal shots at each other for years.
Y'all think Dot is going to pounce again while he's down or walk away. And is him calling it early gonna be something he needs to keep an eye on cause Drake might try if his back is turned?
i keep saying it, this is what Pusha T threatened to do to Drake last time. he was clearly telling him, "i got so much material on you that i will bury you." Well, turns out Kendrick hates Drake so fucking much, he just wants to put it out there.
There's nothing better than the smug redditor that has to let the world know they live under a rock of ignorance and have never heard of the likes of [insert one of the biggest names in music today]
Every thread is “who cares?”, and a couple of boring anti-hip hop stereotypical complaints, before normal service resumes aka finding a way to recommend Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here in every other thread, when in reality the community is having a lot of fun with all of this.
If Taylor Swift fans can spend every waking hour dissecting line by line of a 30 song album to project their own thoughts on how she might feel about an ex, hip hop fans can enjoy two of the biggest stars shit talking one another.
This is taking a Notorious BIG/Tupac level turn
Just replace The Source/Vibe Magazine flaming the beef with youtubers and podcasters. Its literally turning into that.
I'm an old dude who doesn't really follow hip hop, but is Drake really anywhere near Kendrick's league? I mean, this has the same laughable feel as MGK "feuding" with Eminem.
From a commercial success standpoint absolutely Drake is in and above his league, but with actual raw talent? Not even close. I feel like thats another layer that makes this so entertaining. For all the money and fame Drake has you can’t buy raw talent and human decency.
Drake is one of the most successful pop artists of all time.
Kendrick is the only non-jazz, non-classical music artist to receive a Pulitzer Prize.
Drake thinks they’re in the same league, but Kendrick is his better in every way.
I think it's telling that 90% of Drake's lyrics against Kendrick are "haha you're short" and Kendricks are like "Youre a predator and a terrible person and you bring misery to everyone"
Drake has been the corniest rapper in the world since before he started rapping. The fact that the guy not only has a career but gets actual respect from "hip hop heads" has always left me fucking dumbfounded.
He’s always been unapologetically corny. Thats what was so crazy about his success, is that he can do the most ridiculous shit that would get anyone else shunned, but he just owns it and it doesn’t negatively affect him. It’s like he was too big to fail.
I swear to god we’re gonna have to hire a private investigator team because there’s hidden children, domestic abuse, sex trafficking, false backstories…
Honestly just sounds like another day in the life of the rich and famous
Did you know if you're famous you can kill your wife and there's no such thing as 25-to-life?
they’re always complaining always complaining
K-dot got Nardwuar on payroll
Nardwuar can’t interview Drake because he’ll pull out a third undisclosed child to ask questions about. edit: apologies for disrespecting our clashing plaid king w a typo
Nardwuar has interviewed Drake..(and asked him if he still kisses fans)
You underestimate Nardwuar. He’ll find all of Drakes kids in North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica.
Guys it's nardwuar not narduar
Legit. If he has the proof drop it. Fuck ratting shit when it comes to pedos. Drake would flip and take a bunch of other pedos with him
The haters at the bottom of this thread are ridiculous. In what world is this manufactured beef when Kendrick calls drake a sex offender and that he thinks he should die
J Cole is the smartest man to walk outta this as early as he could.
I don’t think Drake nor Kendrick have enough issue with Cole to have the gas to keep him in this beef even if he wanted to be there. “Drake you are a kid diddler, and you are hiding a second child while taking Ozempic and being a deadbeat to the mothers of your children. Go die. And Cole, you could be charting a little better.”
Cole, you put the toilet paper on the wrong way.
lmao
Now, More than anything, I want both of them to drop distracts at J. Cole that are equally nuance and layered and well written, But all the implications are extremely minor. Kendrick be like “ I’m the biggest hater, I hate your underwhelming return on investment, I hate how crooked you park in the parking space, I hate how the pictures on your walls in your house also are also slightly crooked, I hate that your TV is too high in your living room, I hate that you left your Christmas decorations out for too long.”
Cole politely walking away from this beef looks like a better decision with every track they drop lol. Although I’ll say, I doubt there’s much they could say about him
May we have a conversation about your username?
Should you really be drinking coffee
r/retiredgif
He cum coffee..... So you ever feel sleepy, give the guy a little rub to get your dose of caffeine.
As a regular in r/formula1, their username yields no reaction to me anymore haha
Did you see the Hard Rock F1 concession prices? I don't follow F1, but I was taken aback!
 J Cole right now
As if F1 wasn't enough, you're omnipresent here too
Brother shouldn't you be posting F1 shit
Hey man, I can enjoy some hip-hop in-between sessions
Meet The Grahams is insane and is unlike any diss track I ever heard. Wtf
It's just filthy and violent. I am sure Kendricks got more and he's just waiting to press the upload button.
It feels like Kendrick’s “don’t tell lies about me, I won’t tell truths about you” was a warning that every diss from Drake is going to mean another response track uploaded immediately and Meet the Grahams is reinforcing that Kendrick gotta have a vault ready to be opened
Yeah its starting to feel like Kendrick spent the two weeks since push ups in the booth recording a whole vault of diss tracks, and is just sitting there on his laptop deciding which one is pertinent to whatever just got released.
There was a rumor floating around that Euphoria was originally 19 minutes long and he cut it down to 6:23. He has ammo ready to launch for sure.
Release the Kdot Cut
filing a FOIA request rn
Joe Biden please
Best I can do is Joe Budden
I've managed to not hear any of the diss tracks either way, and I have no idea how it started, just that it's happening. But knowing Kendrick Lamar, I can't think of anyone I'd avoid publicly challenging more than him. There's literally not a single better wordsmith out there right now.

If you are a fan of the word play make sure you look up all the breakdowns of Euphoria and 6:16

>Al Green is Drake's uncle or something The only thing I know about this whole thing to address, Drake's uncle was Al Green's bassist.
There is also the layer of it being produced by taylor swift's producer
It's just so sinister and eerie Like the whole song makes you feel so uneasy. The piano, the way he's saying things and the things he's saying. That uneasiness grows too throughout the song, I almost had to take a break This shit is getting really vicious
The Alchemist produced it. This is his lane in terms of beat style. He also produced We Cry Together on Kendrick’s latest album that IMO hits harder.
The Alchemist is so good
We cry together felt so personal it felt like I was intruding. I haven't felt this much hate since Kim got put in the trunk
i stfg i happened to be online within minutes of it dropping, i don't even follow hip hop that much, i felt the way react youtubers act but in real life. someone in somebody's circle is actually gonna die over this.
That’s exactly how it feels to watch it all unfolding. The creeping sense that this ends in blood or someone in prison or both. And the weirdest shit about it is that Kendrick is operating out of Cali where they just passed that law protecting lyricism was from legal scrutiny and accountability.
Or more comes out and Drake lands in prison for crimes already committed in the past.
I'm hoping for this and not blood
This is the best outcome. What a fkn weirdo creep.
I want to be in the room, watching as these men scramble for old, unused beats mumbling to themselves that they’re sure they left that perfect beat for this next diss track in the folder marked “only for emergencies.”
Rumour on the street he had a 19 minute duss track up his sleeve and decided to do it in small chunks we already have 15 minutes
Drake is writing diss songs for the radio Kendrick is writing diss tracks that are trying to obliterate drake and remove him from existence
I think Kendrick is legitimately trying to end Drake's career.
He genuinely is. Like he does not like Drake and wants to end him. So he’s not holding back. I kinda love to see it
Same. Fuck that rapey weirdo.
I mean someone should. I'm old and British and so know nothing about this at all other than Drake is weird around young girls.
Drakes writing diss tracks to boost his profile Kendricks writing Diss Tracks to end them When this started, I assumed this was some fake beef to drum up sales. I didnt mind because even the fake stuff can move mountains. But Kendrick brought Kobe into this
Drake is just thinking business as usual. Kendrick is at war and already had the sabotage, surprise and flanks setup. Drake got K-Dricked. If you come at the Kendrick, you best not miss.
Drake bought a water gun to a military armed American tank fight 😭
*diss songs for Target
Diss songs for shopping
Radio rapper is a good term
Yeah you can just tell he DESPISES Drake
I mean he literally says I hope you die pervert and not just once lol idk how you can really be any more direct
Even in Euphoria he was saying ‘I’m your biggest hater’ like c’mon
Dude he’s got several cutting lines like having to raise your daughters knowing there’s a predator like him out there
It's barely a track. It's like a manifesto from the man living inside your walls. He was on some Parasite shit. Drake needs to disappear quick.
I swear, I am like a rap enthusiast, and this makes the MGK and Eminem beef look PG comparatively. It really feels like Kendrick found out that Drake like, molested one of his nieces of nephews or something. This track was super personal.

Kendrick straight up says Drake is next to get raided on sex trafficking
The whole song had similar energy to the Hit Em Up outro.
If we were to compare this beef with anything it would be Drakes and Pusha T's beef from a few years back. But Meet the Graham's is like Story of Adidon on crack!
Meet The Grahams was a literal psychological horrific downward spiral. It got worst after every line, I left it with goosebumps and a feeling of disgust in my stomach. Ending it with “fuck a rap battle, this a life long battle with yourself” is such a haunting way to end this shit. Lord have mercy, Kendrick has a Pulitzer for a reason..
Yea Im sorry for Drake and his fans but there's no way he comes back with another shot at Kendrick after this, not even with 30 more ghost writers.
If the allegations are true I'm not sorry for him. Just sorry no one did this to him sooner.
This might be the most hateful piece of music I've heard in my life. This isn't a fun beef, this is a man trying to destroy another man's life. I love it.
The real winner is J Cole with his apology. Real smart from him
Yeah people might say it’s weak, but he essentially was starting but then probably realized how messy it was gonna be, from what I know about the dude he likes his privacy
The funniest take I read somewhere on reddit was that he had some "don't come to the reception tonight" kind of thing happen to him lmao
It would be weird if he didn’t. It would be like going 1 bar about drake being a pedo to 1 bar about how J. Cole has kinda fell off.
Given that many people both love Kendrick and Cole it makes sense. Why divide your fanbase over a personal beef that isn’t about you. He released a song out of pride and quickly realized that this isn’t your typical hoorah rap beef. This is some deeeeep personal beef
My teen son and his friends are losing there minds over all this, it’s a Biggie/Tupac type beef for a new generation, entertaining as fuck
My 30 year old coworkers are too lol this shit is fun
My 40+ year old ass was there when Ether dropped and I’m here for this too.
39 here. I love Jay, but Ether was just murder. Nas crushed that. I remember having these discussions in my high school classes when this was happening.
36 year old that left rap scene in 2008 and went to metal. I am absolutely loving this shit! It’s been a minute since heavy hitters started beefing right?
It's been literally decades since we've had a beef anywhere close to this on the mainstream
37 and I had to relisten to games 300 bars and running last night. It has all the feeling of that and ether. Love it.
I haven’t listened to rap in probably 6 years, this beef got me listening to a lot of rap all of a sudden.
Kendrick went extra petty on 616 - he got Taylor Swift's producer for the track after Drake referenced her on his diss. It's so petty, I'm living for this
On a different thread someone said the sample on 6:16 is from Al Green. A song where Drakes uncle is playing the guitar. That is next level shade.
Holy shit that's hilarious
Kendrick also manipulated the sample so it sounds like Al Green says “Boy wonder”. Boi-1da is a Jamaican producer who’s done work for Drake before and was supposedly the one leaking inside info to Kendrick.
Random fun fact - Boi 1da is lives in the Toronto suburb where my gf lives and him and Drake had the city install high speed internet in the city just so they could make beats. I’m just picturing this guy dealing with slow internet speeds while working for Drake and being like “fuck it, I’m calling Kenny”
That track was monstrous. Drake could apologize for talking shit and say that Kendrick wins, and it would be a lot less embarrassing than what gonna happen if it continues.
I really feel like Drake shouldn’t be starting this type of shit when he’s got an entire morgue’s worth of skeletons in his closet. Like, Kendrick’s spoiled for choice.
Idk it's clear he's outclassed but if he backs down then it's not like it'll go away. It will still be brought up like how Eminem is brought up whenever Machine Gun Kelly is talked about.
Machine Gun Kelly being associated with Eminem is the greatest thing to happen to that dude.
That was Kellys goal. I still listen to Killshot. Em wrote that shit in like 3 days and burried MGK
He hurt MGK so bad that man had to switch genres of music.
Eminem has ended many careers, it was an absolute classic when he made dude switch genres and cultures entirely.
>Here’s your moment .. this is it, as big as you’re gonna get, so enjoy it.. **Had to give you a career to destroy it.** GAH DAMN sometimes I forget why nobody still touches Em.
Best part is how true that line turned out to be.
Clarence’s parents have a real good marriage!
Probably but from a personal pride stance I'd be thinking different. Like if Kendrick Lamar was coming out with these songs about me I'd feel pretty down.

Drake could tap out right now and he would be fine. The vast majority of his market isn’t listening to Kendrick. Like Mos Def said, Drake is pop.
Very compatible with shopping.
Drake can never lose. Pusha T effectively destroyed the man and he went on to have one of the most successful careers we’ve ever seen. Kendrick has him beat from all angles, he cannot win, but he’ll never lose.
That’s the funny thing about this beef, Kendrick starting to expose the cracks in drakes inner circle and industry connections
That picture from the video of Drake’s Ozempic prescription would have most normal people paranoid AF.
This beef supercedes Game vs 50. And I *loved* that beef. Kendrick is eviscerating Aubrey.
Yeah, that was the rap beef of my time when I was a young teen. This one built up and then went nuclear and got dark fast. Insane stuff.
15 minute freestyle “300 bars and running” still gets play when I need a timer 🤣
I feel like Rocky got it the worst on Family Matters lol
And all it was is Drake saying “keep dressing well and having more babies” 🤣
and you should continue to model. thats a compliment!
Tyler out here catching strays
> Drake: "How do i diss the jack ass who fucked one of my BM's then went on to impregnate the girl of my dreams multiple times?" >Drake on Family Matters: "You keep dressing well and fucking the girl of my dreams"
Thats a real Drake move tbf. He's on brand here.
i don't know what in the world he was thinking when he decided to jump in with "i hit it first", knowing his BM had highly publicized rumors about her and Drake
Because it’s well known how obsessed and hung up Drake was on Rihana only for her to choose Rocky over him. So it’s not like Rocky lost in that regard
It's getting ugly with these two tracks😬
Had to cut that predator drake’s head clean off.
I’m having a fucking blast watching these two go at each other
Kendrick’s Euphoria was a trap lol
Not even a trap, that was a warning and Drake should have taken the hint and not responded lol. The line “make music to pacify them I can double down on that line but I’ll spare you this time that’s random acts of kindness” and “if you take it there, I’m taking it further that’s something you don’t wanna do” Obviously Kendrick’s knows more than he said in that track unless he thought he was bluffing, and he sure did. Just waiting for Drake to say anything about the ovo and underage allegations cause he keeps ignoring those but denied his daughter, which is strange for sure.
I went in order and thought Drake caught up to Dot, then I listened to meet the grahams and realized that Drake will never be able to catch up
This shit has been insane. I was not expecting to wake up this morning to see a Drake response so soon and then *another* Kendrick track almost immediately afterwards.
I was boutta go to bed when that shit dropped, and boy did it wake me back up. Kendrick had that one in the chamber, and the way Meet the Grahams abruptly ends just screams “there’s more where that came from”
I legitimately don’t know what he can do 😭 I never thought a diss track that hard was even possible man wow
He roped him in with Harvey Weinstein, then went on to say anyone seen with him is complicit and told lebron and curry to keep their kids away from him!
Fuck, he said that Drake *leaves his kids with his employees, who he knows are pedophiles.* It turns the specific word choice "monthly allowance" into a *really fucking dark double entendre.*
OMFFGGGG
Plus the added line that has the innuendo later of “You lied about them other kids thats out there hoping that you ‘come’”
Bro I felt sick listening to that fr
[удалено]
Kendrick spent 2 songs telling Drake to not go down that path about the domestic violence. Euphoria: > I calculate you're not as calculated, I can even predict your angle / Fabricatin' stories on the family front 'cause you heard Mr. Morale > We ain't gotta get personal, this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way / I know some shit about n***** that make Gunna Wunna look like a saint > Why would I call around tryna get dirt on n*****? Y'all think all my life is rap? / That's ho shit, I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that 6:16 In LA: > Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? Let's see / Have you ever thought that OVO is workin' for me? > It was fun until you started to put money in the streets Then lost money 'cause they came back with no receipts / I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace But war-ready if the world is ready to see you bleed > But let me tell you some game 'cause I can see you, my lil' homie / You playin' dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya / You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots / But your reality can't hide behind wifi But Drake didn’t want to listen. Maybe he didn’t think Kendrick had receipts? But the album art for both 6:16 In LA and Meet the Grahams show Kendrick’s got them while the entire time Kendrick told Drake to not try that angle because: > But don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truths 'bout you
How the fuck he able to catch up to a three diss response
Drake's gonna keep pushing until he gets bodied into the mantle of the earth.
Is this the first diss battle between a rapper and a pop star?
Kanye vs Taylor Swift lol
Eminem vs Christina Aguilera, kinda.
And Mariah Carey, and MJ, and Christina Aguilera, and most people alive.
don't forget chief keef vs. katy perry lmfao
Out of the loop.... Why is Drake beefing with Kendrick?
If you go to the out of the loop subreddit it’s one of the top posts rn. The user did a better job than I could to summarize it.
Kendrick released a verse on a song in 2013 called Control where he name dropped a lot of rappers. Drake didn’t appreciate that and they have been taking subliminal shots at each other for years.
Well this beef has shown there is clearly lots of behind the scenes stuff that has happened since, it’s not just the control verse any more
wasn't simultaneous. Kendrick obviously waited for Drake to drop, and clearly knew what was coming.
Man, drakes ghostwriters are having a rough week.
It's probably nice to get steady work
https://i.redd.it/xir9seurecyc1.gif Smoke a blunt and enjoy the chaos my friends
I just did this and had the best dish washing session ever with my earphones on
I chose the wrong week to take a tolerance break smfh
Y'all think Dot is going to pounce again while he's down or walk away. And is him calling it early gonna be something he needs to keep an eye on cause Drake might try if his back is turned?
I think dot has one or two left in him…
i keep saying it, this is what Pusha T threatened to do to Drake last time. he was clearly telling him, "i got so much material on you that i will bury you." Well, turns out Kendrick hates Drake so fucking much, he just wants to put it out there.
the world needs a pusha t and k dot drake diss collaboration
That is what I assume is going to happen and it’s going to be beautiful They can use the Nosetalgia beat which would be perfect for beef track
r/Music when someone posts a thread about the most newsworthy thing going down in the music industry: “Who cares!? 😡🤬😱😡🤬”
And then they’ll post a song from Queen or Gorillaz for the 15th time.
That’s the typical Reddit user. This sub is lame lol
DAE think Bohemian Rhapsody is an underrated gem?
“I don’t even know who this Kendrick Lamar is”
There's nothing better than the smug redditor that has to let the world know they live under a rock of ignorance and have never heard of the likes of [insert one of the biggest names in music today]
I love Ken Rick Llama
Every thread is “who cares?”, and a couple of boring anti-hip hop stereotypical complaints, before normal service resumes aka finding a way to recommend Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here in every other thread, when in reality the community is having a lot of fun with all of this. If Taylor Swift fans can spend every waking hour dissecting line by line of a 30 song album to project their own thoughts on how she might feel about an ex, hip hop fans can enjoy two of the biggest stars shit talking one another.
You've described Reddit so well here.
>normal service resumes aka finding a way to recommend Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here in every other thread 😂
This is taking a Notorious BIG/Tupac level turn Just replace The Source/Vibe Magazine flaming the beef with youtubers and podcasters. Its literally turning into that.
If that’s the case, I’m taking the man from Compton. No disrespect to Toronto, but it’s not that level.
Just as long as no one gets murdered, solved or unsolved, I am here for this
Bro, I feel like I'm gonna get shot after hearing meet the Grahms and I'm just a bystander listening to it.
I'm an old dude who doesn't really follow hip hop, but is Drake really anywhere near Kendrick's league? I mean, this has the same laughable feel as MGK "feuding" with Eminem.
From a commercial success standpoint absolutely Drake is in and above his league, but with actual raw talent? Not even close. I feel like thats another layer that makes this so entertaining. For all the money and fame Drake has you can’t buy raw talent and human decency.
Drake has an entire board room of writers. Money can absolutely buy you talent ... and abs.
It can buy you talent, but not genius
Drake is one of the most successful pop artists of all time. Kendrick is the only non-jazz, non-classical music artist to receive a Pulitzer Prize. Drake thinks they’re in the same league, but Kendrick is his better in every way.
I think it's telling that 90% of Drake's lyrics against Kendrick are "haha you're short" and Kendricks are like "Youre a predator and a terrible person and you bring misery to everyone"
[удалено]
Drake has been the corniest rapper in the world since before he started rapping. The fact that the guy not only has a career but gets actual respect from "hip hop heads" has always left me fucking dumbfounded.
He’s always been unapologetically corny. Thats what was so crazy about his success, is that he can do the most ridiculous shit that would get anyone else shunned, but he just owns it and it doesn’t negatively affect him. It’s like he was too big to fail.
Damn we really got the sequel to Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero over Dominik before GTA 6

I mean tbf Kendrick warned everyone 11 years ago on control, not his fault if drake didn’t listen like J Cole did 😭
I enjoy watching the sunset.
A hate letter to his kids mom and dead dad.
dead beat dad* lmao you made me go on a whole search if he actually died
Is it really a beef when one person is just kicking the crap out of the other person? This more of a roast
Alright imma have to give these a listen. Everyone’s going crazy about it
May 3rd, 2024 is a day that will go down in hip-hop history.
Meet the Grahams is the greatest diss track of all time. He absolutely destroyed him.
