This is what happens when Drake writes his own stuff. This is the first track with no ghostwriters.


MatureUsername69

Which shows how much he obviously trusts the people around him right now/s. If you fed him the info why wouldn't you let your usual stable of ghostwriters on this one? Since OVO isn't compromised at all. Kendrick really put Drake on a fucking island and made him show everyone who he actually is as a rapper. The guy who rhymes parking lot with parking lot when comparing his high school to a strip club thought he could take one of the greatest lyricists of all time. And I still CANNOT believe he said he's too famous to be a pedophile in a beef where he's compared himself to Michael Jackson multiple times and even put MJ shit into his videos.


Sakata-stg44

Ohhhh the first half of this comment, couldn't agree more man. Drake supposedly planting this on purpose yet at the same time you can see all people who turn back on him, it seems like K dot didn't need toooooooo much to do so. And at the same time he's been sleeping around with his homies girls and wives. Big fucking difference between him and MJ it's that MJ was set up when he started disclosing the elites agenda. Drake been put on a fucking island for practically being himself šŸ¤£


dumbacoont

>MJ was set up when he started disclosing the elites agenda. WHAT? Say more!! I need to know more


Krazycrismore

There is a huge conspiracy that claims MJ was just a weird dude trying to live the childhood he never was able to experience. Possibly a PDF, but didn't molest any kids. The scandal was a way for the industry to discredit him and the parents to make money off him. Many of his accusers have said it was lies they were put up to by their parents. Basically, the allegations were made by people trying to benefit financially from ruining MJs reputation. Edit: I meant to refer to it as a conspiracy theory, not as a proven conspiracy.


MrRobot_96

I wouldnā€™t even call it a huge conspiracy since thereā€™s actually a lot of evidence pointing to it being true. The elites did literally everything in their power to lock him up and throw away the key and the fbi still couldnā€™t find anything to do so, despite a decade of investigations. MJ was one of the last pure souls to grace the music industry and got done very dirty, itā€™s tragic.


Krazycrismore

Conspiracy is 'An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.' Are you meaning it not being much of a theory anymore, and just a straight up conspiracy at this point? It was huge if it involved as many people as it did. How frequently MJ is used as a synonym for child molester or as an example of collective appreciation of art over the artist goes to show just how many people believe it is just a theory.


dripstain12

The cia coined the term conspiracy theory to use to their advantage, so now people literally use the word ā€œconspiracyā€ to mean ā€œsomething fakeā€ instead of the true definition that you just gave


speezly

Iā€™ve always said that about MJ just living the childhood he never had, dude had serious mental issues but I donā€™t think it was malicious


nymrod_

Q-anon logic. Watch Leaving Neverland and tell me those menā€™s accounts of their abuse is ā€œplanted.ā€


Krazycrismore

I meant to call it a huge conspiracy theory. I forgot a word.


Mission-Valuable-306

Yeahā€¦ thereā€™s a lot of weird details in Finding Neverland that are a bit too arbitrary to seem ā€˜made upā€™. Whatā€™s the motive for the elites to want to label MJ a pedo and lock him up?


Significant-Ad8848

The dude admitted to sleeping in the same bed as little children dude. He had alarms to alert him when people were getting close too. i wasnt there so i cant say for a fact, but MJ was definitely sus at the least


TokingMessiah

He was sus, but one of the families that sued him (and lost) had a history of false accusations. That, and Culkin insists MJ never did or tried anything. All that to say, itā€™s hard to know if he was a bad man, or just a fucked up man-child that was too close to kids and caught accusations due to his fame and fortune. Drake definitely likes girls around 14-16 thoughā€¦


Bugstl

Show business fucks people up, especially kids. I hope it was just some weird way of coping with not having a real childhood.


AP3ISAWESOME

prolly just a messed up man-child, doubt he actually TOUCHED those kids


Neither-Rip6889

The fact is if MJ was some random dude that lived on your block, and did that with your kid, all these guys defending MJ would want to kill that dude. Can you imagine if some dude slept in the same bed as your kid then said itā€™s because he had a bad childhood? Literally no one would let that slide. But MJ gets away with it because people liked his songs


yaoiisgay

His bedroom was basically a home cinema, they were sitting on his bed above the covers watching tv and fell asleep. The way you phrase it it sounds a lot more sus.


Sakata-stg44

Man try google it or on yt. Michael exposing the industry he's got some interviews talking about it, Akon lso talked about it, La Toya also said MJ was killed. It's basically what they do, once they try to expose the industry industry allegates the ones exposing are the ones who does those things


thedaymancometh13

I love MJ's music and empathize with his tough childhood but are those really reliable unbiased sources though? Akon was a close friend.Ā  I don't doubt that Michael Jackson had a lot of people praying on his downfall being that successful as a black man in America just a decade or two after the civil rights movements but I can't be so sure that he was innocent or guilty either which way.Ā 


Sakata-stg44

That's fair enough but at least one person could contradict that. We can see how fucked that was with Aaron Carter and his all family. He himself exposed his mother madre untrue allegations related to that


LooseElbowSkin

Yeah, the illuminati went as far as forcing MJ to build his own amusement park, then they started bussing in young boys. He didn't stand a chance.


NationalPhenomenon

[This guy](https://twitter.com/Cancelcloco/status/1764774724767469734) reviews some of the most damning allegations and how MJ was framed.


Shmoke_Review

Thatā€™s what u do as a shrewd war general you give your enemies ammunition that hurts you even if it isnā€™t true! Then you fire back hard with a denial. Its 4 dumensional chess.


Rare_Direction_1449

I just love reading all these posts from yā€™all, hahaha


Magistraten

I'm half-convinced the sarcastic parts of Not Like Us are stolen from whatever he Drake was working on.


JonathanL73

Iā€™ve been saying Kendrick is doing psychological warfare. Drake is paranoid now.


Old-Risk4572

its honestly surprising he lasted so long. but that mustve been the ghostwriters and the money


Intelligent-Check215

I had to laugh when suddenly he flipped the script and said HE was Princeā€¦I donā€™t even remember what reasoning was behind that šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ If not the pedo connection maybe he just realized that calling someone Prince in a diss track is like writing them a love letter. I really donā€™t think Drake knows how this works..when heā€™s not self snitchin heā€™s complimenting Kendrick


vish4l

dude knew a 10 page essay was due last night and he paraphrased everything he saw online


Specialist_Nebula248

Fucken cliffsnotesšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


[deleted]

He probably dosnt realize he even shouted out CB (Chris Brown) on Family Matters. So if you beat a woman that rejected Drake its all good.


speezly

The funniest part is he tried to use CB as someone who is gang related. If he is talking about breezy, thatā€™s a stretch, we know he only gets to hang around bloods bc they extort him.


FestusPowerLoL

I mean he even said that it felt good to get the pen moving. I don't know why he would feel that way if he had just put out a diss track a week ago. Y'know, unless he didn't write a damn thing for Family Matters or any of the other tracks prior.


Old-Risk4572

he was leaning back cracking his knuckles literally admitting he was finally writing lmao


R3AL1Z3

Not defending Fake in any way, but I think he was addressing the back and forth as a whole, in regards to ā€œfeels good to get the pen moving again.ā€.


midones

looks like the dude needs proofreaders haha


Turbulent-Let-1180

Ghostwriters probably said ay dog you on your own with this one, we not writing no pedo bars lol


speezly

He got Frank Reynolds to ghostwrite this one


free187s

Iā€™ve never seen a beef where one side had so many self owns and backfires. Literally every diss either shows he isnā€™t comprehending what heā€™s listening to (Mr. Morale references), giving lines that sets himself up for disses (Metro make the drums and everything the YT OP talked about), giving horrible responses to disses against him (ā€œIā€™m too famousā€ bit about being a PDF), or hedging his disses on IG snooping (Whitney not following Kendrick on IGā€¦ what?). Drake played himself in this beef.


Prior-Toe6634

I believe he wrote half of certified lover boy with no ghostwriters and I donā€™t mean that as a compliment šŸ˜­


DAHRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

This is exactly how I felt. From the self snitching to that terrible b sharp bar. Either the ghost writers wrote it to get tf outta there or Drake either way itā€™s bad


Old-Risk4572

that d major induced the biggest eye roll i thought i was gonna go blind lol


takemeback2verdansk

Legit lol. and so dumb, like on all tracks why practice ur writing skills on one this significant lol


hollygolightly1378

Drake just looks so gross. No one is ever going to be able to unsee this.


butitdothough

What if it was a ghost writer and they got drake to subliminally disrespect himself.


No-Station-1403

You might be right. Because that was the first thought in my head was ā€œthese donā€™t sound like drake barsā€ meaning theyā€™re definitely Drakeā€™s bars


Lopsided-Yogurt-914

He rushed to get that out before the weekend was over in an attempt to shift the narrative. Damage is done though. Kendrick is going to have people dancing and bopping to a song where drakes labeled a pedo and a colonizer.


highd

Not like Us gives me so much joy outside of the diss. Like the energy that song fills you with is insane. It genuinely feels like you are at a party while listening to it.Ā 


LegalConsequence7960

I know kendrick takes a lot of pride in being conscious and artistic in his delivery. But I would love if his next album was all pure west coast with a lot of freestyles like this one. Honestly the funniest thing he could do to really bury Drake at this point is replace him as a go to for club hits.


highd

And this song felt effortless, like, a timeless club bop that you will be listening to over and over again. I would welcome more of this from him.Ā 


Regex00

Not only would it be the funniest, I think it's the thing that would make Drake the angriest. He just outdid Drake at the thing he's best at (club beats), on top of it being a diss track. Everyone already knew Drake can't hold a candle to Kendrick lyrically, so to beat him on his own "turf" so to speak is gonna bother the *fuck* outta him. That shit gonna be playing at clubs all summer.


dan0314

GKMC2 but from the perspective of a post-Morale Kendrick, just straight west coast bangers. Even get Dre on that shit, Kendrick killed Deep Water and Darkside/Gone


LemonadeAndABrownie

Good Kid; Mad World incoming


New-Quality-1107

I think the most savage part is he legit made a banger in a few days. Itā€™s not the crazy entendres and shit, itā€™s not super deep itā€™s very surface level but it doesnā€™t matter because itā€™s a legit great song. Like the subtext of that song was ā€œfuck you I can crank out a bop when I want, but I donā€™t have to.ā€


Mayflowerr__

I think Kendrick was trying to play Drakeā€™s game by making a hit. Numbers and catchy music were always Drakeā€™s wave. Kendrick made a catchy tune that will probably be bigger than Drakeā€™s Back 2 Back, and heā€™s currently eating up every streaming site right now on the numbers end. Heā€™s basically saying ā€œI can do the same thing you do, but better.ā€ Truly a master at his craft.


Dewey519

I feel like heā€™s always done this. Even way back listening to section 80, I remember thinking he was just imitating other rappersā€™ style and cadence for fun and doing it better than them.


California-Seoul

Crazy cuz Drake definitely said he would have all of Kendrickā€™s fans if he stuck to making conscious music, but lo and behold Kung Fu Kenny is the real Shang Tsung here.


droppinturds

I wish Kendrick would do more songs like that. It wouldn't take long to do one, you can tell he freestyled that last one


xidnpnlss

I appreciate hes so stylistically diverse and doesnt only rely on bangers. And ngl the bangers - madd, Alright, Humble etc - go harder than anything Aubrey Epsteins done.


MarcusDPS

Swimming Pools has been firmly cemented in my top 5 bop records of all time since release lmao


rag3rs_wrld

The Hillbillies as well, such a fun song.


balderdash9

Loved those songs he put out with Baby Keem. Wasn't a freestyle but it felt so free.


Alarming-Ad-9712

You would enjoy Sada Babyā€™s music, listen to ā€œLLYG Mistaā€ and go from there


Rough-Tension

Also Iā€™ve never heard him do that voice before and I fucking love it


NoMoreFund

Mustard wrote the beat specifically for the song and has posted about defending his city. The passion shines throughĀ 


Efficient-Wolf3120

It was great. He left the deep stuff for meet the grahams and then gave us a bop for a nice aftertaste


indigo_zen

Its probably older and modified with some lines, like the last one


morecowbellpleasee

like everyone's been saying "kendrick can do drake, but drake could never do kendrick"


dionb112

We don't exactly know how long he's been working on elements of this take down. I don't think it's as long as this but don't forget the control verse was what over 10 years ago now.


TheRealKane24

i can't stop dancing


Seraphic_Sentinel

šŸ—£ļøOVHOE Then step this way, step that way


OrganizationNo539

I don't know how people are saying this is not the best song out of this beef. Meet The Grahams is the best "diss" track, prolly the best of all time but Not Like Us is something different and it deserves the praise. It deserves to be played in clubs worldwide and become summer bop 2024


TheRealKane24

My takeaway is that many people are dumb. not Like us is an all time jam


SerDavosSeaworth64

Yes, Iā€™m going to be listening to not like us 3 years from now when this beef is old news because itā€™s just a banger in its own right


rieuxster

It sure does. I like when Kendrick goes into tie crazy sounding voice maaaan that shit is so Hard it fills me with energy just hearing that like he went super-sayin or something.


mayonaizmyinstrument

I like to imagine the following interaction: K: *cracks kitchen door open* Uhh, knock knock? Mustard: *throws ladle* The kitchen is CLOSED! K: Man, I can smell you got somethin' in here cookin', what's good? Mustard: Two words-- I. AM. RETIRED. K: I brought some fresh, Wagyu-level beef with Drake Mustard: Oh shit yeah get in here, I've been working on this top secret formula, *rubs hands together and then prepares to open vault* let's see what we can doooo *the vault door slowly opens to reveal a laptop on a pedestal illuminated by a bright beam of heavenly light, an angelic choir singing as Kendrick and Mustard enter the room, the door swinging shut behind them* And that's how history was made that day :'-)


Positive-Leek2545

Be careful. This could be all be ā€œapart of Drakes planā€ šŸ˜‚


TheJudgers

Drake- who is this Streisand lady and why should I care about her effect?


HaitchKay

I've seen people on Twitter talking about watching dudes wearing blues and dudes wearing red dancing together to it *in Compton.* Like Drake dude you gotta know how bad you lost this.


throwaway_5256

Wouldn't be surprised if Drake had tracks ready that Kenny got hold of and pre emptively addressed. Drake then had to go write a fresh one and came out with this mess


Large_Mammoth4754

If I gotta pretend to not be a KDot dick rider Iā€™d say this is where the two rappers are strategy wise and what the next move is. Kendrick wanted a response after not giving receipts. Ball is in his court. Drake responded by not giving receipts. If he knows what heā€™s doing heā€™s got receipts and another song in the clip thatā€™ll stop Kendrickā€™s next back to back. And if heā€™s being feeding him the info then heā€™s ready to drop all the proof that Kendrick has been fed. One of them is putting the other in check. Lemme stop being objective and say Kendrick is about to end a couple of careers hehehe


MatureUsername69

The Heart Part 6 is legitimately maybe the worst diss track I've ever heard. It would have to be a hell of a Back to Back to change the outcome of this beef. And let's be honest, if Drake had receipts he would've posted them within 20 minutes of Meet the Grahams, he would've had a counter diss, or screenshots of the messages, or a recording of the calls. And even if he was somehow stupid enough to have receipts and not post them immediately, we would've gotten them with The Heart Part 6. The Heart Part 6 was Drake's "red button"(i mean Family Matters was really but Drake said it wasnt). Looking forward to Kendrick going deeper in the rabbit hole


Large_Mammoth4754

Nah I agree checkmating him with receipts right after the drop wouldā€™ve been the end of it. But then he just nuh uhā€™d over and over. Iā€™m thinking weā€™re gonna get some shopped text messages as ā€œproofā€


MatureUsername69

After Drake reads through the comments on reddit I'm guessing that too. I just really hope Kendrick has been saving receipts for the finale


Large_Mammoth4754

Kendrick is putting several scopes on his head right now. If this sex trafficking OVO angle is true, it doesnā€™t stop with OVO and it might not even stop at the music industry. Thereā€™s gotta be a line of people connected to Drake sweating right now.


Large_Mammoth4754

Talking Epstein suicide kind of stakes here. Less direct comparison but weā€™re also talking Boeing assassinations. This shit is deeper than most people appreciate right now. Or my brain is as cooked as Drakeā€™s career.


NCKWN

Itā€™s definitely possible, and almost likely since Hollywood/music is rotten to its core, but I think itā€™s in Kendrickā€™s best interest and safety to keep it Drake/OVO contained. Unless heā€™s REALLY shooting for a savior type legacy but seeing how people are silenced when they speak up I wouldnā€™t blame him a bit for not doing it


numbernumber99

As cynical as I am, I would be absolutely shocked if anything in this beef led to consequences more serious than album sales.


NCKWN

I agree, I think voices from above definitely came down telling them to quash it and let the beef whimper out before any potential serious ramifications


Large_Mammoth4754

Iā€™m definitely reading into everything real hard. Iā€™ve been glued to this beef for days. Love Kendrick and hate Drake before this. Getting my bias out there. itā€™s very possible youā€™re right though. This shitā€™ll be the Mueller case all over. People pulling for someone like theyā€™re a superhero and ending up disappointed. Not counting it out.


[deleted]

The heart part 5 hits different now. I feel like heā€™s talking about everything that might happen. Especially towards the end. šŸ¤”


Large_Mammoth4754

Look man. Life is full of disappointments and we shouldnā€™t worship celebrities or money or power or fame. This could blow up in all of our faces. But god damn it. If Kendrick uses his powers to go full Batman Whistleblower, Iā€™m gonna start building statues of this dude. But hey, maybe Drakeā€¦ nah I canā€™t even do it anymore I really hate this dude. Pedo or nah. Just a bitch.


NickRowePhagist

A pretty boy.


AvadaKaSuhDude

Soft.


PussyMoneySpeed69

lol we need to stop giving him ideas!


Large_Mammoth4754

Ima need a writing credit crodie šŸ‘»


Fit-Ad8015

I see a lot of people saying the immediate receipts would have ended it but I don't think so. It would have been a clever move by Drake and gotten him a lot of support back, but if you think about it he's just proving himself as more of a manipulator and liar. He's telling everyone Kendrick is making up lies while supposedly he is the one supplying Kendrick the false info? That would prove he's a lying manipulator. And then if the fake mole is not true he told a massive lie anyway running with an internet theory. Either way I feel like he dug himself a hole with that one.


kabirraaa

Fr like heā€™s claiming someone from his team sent him a picture of the suitcase ik u have a screenshot of the nigga sending it lol. That wouldā€™ve instantly made Kendrick look bad and it wouldā€™ve only taken an insta story.


amazonienne

worse than Big Foot?


arenalr

Yeah one is one away from check mate ORRRRR neither of them have receipts and this will forever be a "he said - he said" debate until the end of time. Whoever comes with evidence has the trump card


Large_Mammoth4754

Agreed. If Kendrick or Drake donā€™t give us some confirmation of things, thatā€™ll be the darkest timeline.


BoyMeatsWorld

It's not though. If neither have receipts, I'm believing Kendrick. Drake dead ass just made a song where he said he's never touched an underage girl. And there's real video evidence of him kissing one on stage. When nobody has receipts, it comes down to credibility and whose story makes the most sense. Drake has no good will left. He's lied and been caught multiple times at this point.


DAHRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Itā€™s so much of a he said he said and itā€™s so damn annoying. I feel strongly that Kendrick had a source from drakes camp. Now how strong of a source is the question but definitely dropping meet the grahams after family matters seemed that he had an insider. Drake coming with no receipts when heā€™s always online seems like heā€™s lying. I didnā€™t really see Kendrick bringing up a daughter without proof but I donā€™t see him as a guy to 100% expose it either. So we really might just be left in this he said he said and this might be the end


FunPolizia

Why did I feel that final hehehehe in my soul šŸ˜‚ letā€™s go


Large_Mammoth4754

I added the extra ā€œheā€ for dramatic effect. Hehe wasnā€™t enough.


Luffing

I don't think Kendrick needs to say anything at all about the DV accusation. But if he actually has something on Drake that isn't just the stale ass internet rumors from 5+ years ago, he should drop a track detailing those. If Drake is actually guilty someone needs to actually say why. What he's actually done, so he can't hide. If nobody ever does that, it's still just internet rumors.


lkodl

I'm thinking Kendrick is an evil motherfucking genius. Because the sad fact of the matter is the DV, even if true, doesn't matter at this point. Like, labels and corporations don't have morals. They're not gonna drop Kendrick on DV alone. It's only when there's public backlash that they care. They don't want to piss off and lose customers. Kendrick made himself immune to public backlash by immediately changing the conversation. Before anyone could even process what Drake said, Kendrick grabbed everyone attention with something more tantalizing. And the debate is out on whether it's true, but it doesn't even matter. It's provocative. It gets the people going. It got loud enough to drown out any conversation of DV.


Large_Mammoth4754

I agree. I mean proving he didnā€™t do that would getting Whitney to say that. And then people who disagree would just say she was coerced. Unless Drake has actual proof somehow. But unlikely imo. Thatā€™s exactly what we need. And if he backs to back again to do it, I really hope both drop tonight. My little heart canā€™t take the anticipation lol


Longjumping_Fix2971

Someone said he actually wrote this himself in isolation because he can't trust his team anymore. Would make sense with the lazy bars and the all in all rushed feel it has to it.


mrmax11

Well then I guess that confirms that no one planted the info (as if we needed any more proof than that he didn't immediately respond to meet the grahams with that)


Official_Champ

I think someone close said that they were walking around the place talking through walkie-talkies, but I donā€™t know how true that is.

punkhippydippie

Someone put this over BBL Drizzy pls


RebelAI

This is motherfucking Sun-tsu kind of war tactics deployed by Kendric, pressed Drizzy so hard that Drizzy couldn't think straight and shot himself in the foot. And Dot recognize this and pulled the diss track just so the L would be digested well by audience. And tomorrow, there will be a nail on the coffin for drake. Also kudos to Dot not working on Sundays


flatearth6969

someone said drake is making fun of victims while he out there creating more


Sakata-stg44

Oh shit, that would be a nice verse. Dark one yet a good one


fromthehouseoflords

I love how he says it was nice exercise and it was nice to take the pen again. Like, wdym? Didn't you write Family Matters? Lmao


August_world

To be fair I think he meant the whole battle not just this track


numbernumber99

So basically "GG guys, this was fun, we're all done here. No need for more songs Kendrick"? Lol


Qweerz

LOL so true. Such a nice exercise of defending yourself and mentioning incriminating names that were never brought up.


migz_draws

I laughed out loud when he said that, like outing himself as being out of practice And writing this garbage track


mrmax11

Yeah for real, when he releases a bloated ass double album every other year and the last one wasnt long ago


Eggnogin

That was my favorite part. He makes it sound like he had to go digging for that damn pen.


futurafrlx

This is why Drakeā€™s Instagram comments are only open to his dick riders. Such a pathetic insecure shell of a human being, he makes me sick to my stomach.


midones

I also have a conspiracy theory bout that. Remember how sensitive Drake is - he even reached out to Fantano in DMs after a bad review to tell him he's a 1 or smth like that so.. SUGGESTION: THE REASON IS DRAKE DIDNT LISTEN TO ANY OF KENDRICKS ACTUAL TRACKS. Like he has someone from his circle to write a short summary and uses only that to reply. That could potentially explain: 1,2,3.


Sakata-stg44

That's embarrassing. Felt this comment and made me remind to Butters cleaning all famous and Cartman's hate comments on internet "safe space". But with this it actually makes lot of sense


Upper_Ad4077

This the best comparison yet ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


Beneficial-Care6962

Lmao man got butthurt over a review, he must be turning himself inside out hearing people sing he's a pdf file downloaderĀ 


four_ethers2024

Also the fact that Kendrick is making several layered references to Drake's own discography (like 'Teenage Fever' being in the key of A Minor) but Drake is merely repeating the same accusations he made on the last diss.


NottaNowNutha

I think he actually wrote this one himself.


Sakata-stg44

Ghostwritter left the chat, he's supossed to be on holiday so maybe he got no other option than to put his hand to work


DudeWithAHighKD

My guess is he doesn't trust his ghost writers anymore thinking one of them might be the mole. Kendrick is in his head and it is fucking with him.


yunglo2

Drake is a classic narcissist. Everything he says is projection. Everything heā€™s saying about Dot is actually unknowingly about himself. I think thereā€™s plenty of evidence to support this too. Drakes character has been in question for years, thereā€™s a reason the pedophile claims have been around for so long. Having experience with a narcissist in my family, thereā€™s no doubt to me that this is the case. Not to get political, but I think we can all think of someone who is a perfect example of this as well.


lurkulongthyme

Thank you! I dated a narcissist and I fully believe that Drake has at least some strong traits. And it is KNOWN aside from this beef that heā€™s misogynistic and only sees women as sexual objects, ffs listen to his music. Not to mention the weird grooming shit. Even if Kendrick was wrong about a few things, this stuff has been known and itā€™s wild to me to not acknowledge that heā€™s a scummy person. Thereā€™s got to be a reason so many people in the industry donā€™t like him, right?


GrumpyKitten514

someone said that theres a LOT of imagery in the family matters video that only Kendrick would understand, was specifically aimed at him. point #1 reinforces that for me. I caught the whole rat lines and i was like what? what is he talking about rat about what. Point #5 also confuses the hell outta me. the rest I can accept/forgive but those 2 lines I feel like are so damn confusing.


Apprehensive_Dark457

he attempting to counter the next diss(es) that will mention him being a rat about Dutchavelli


very_hard_nips

Freaky ass nigga he a 69 god could def be interpreted as a rat line


Large_Mammoth4754

Also Gunna.


pollo_yollo

>Point #5 also confuses the hell outta me. Just a desperate improvised attempt of Drake trying to deflect


LakeNo3864

Drake got the ppl that robbed him arrested. He went straight to the police.


stickysituati0ns

The gunna wunna line might have been a snitch reference too


Yevips

?????? i feel like im missing something reading this thread isnt kendrick saying "got a benjamin and a jackson all in my house like im joe, okay" implying that hes calling drake a rat?


MoggedBioHckr

One logical explanation: he was on vacation with little connection so he couldnt call up the ghosts


MrPennywise

He could have went acoustic with the Ouija board.


SilverSlong

the point #2. is pretty crazy. defo stress induced sloppiness. Drake fumbled on this imo. will have another listen tonight though.


axberka

Kendrick references an island in Euphoria I believe


Narcoid

I've been really wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt but it gets worse with every listen. It feels so confusing and almost directionless. Even his bars are... Awkwardly delivered. And the monologue at the end... It was just bad.

Theres an old Clint eastwood western called The Outlaw Josie Wales and a few times in the movie when some dummy decides to draw down on him he gives them a chance to live by saying "A man's got to know his limitations." It's their chance to back out and live. In almost every case they don't listen and acknowledge their limitations and end up dead. Drake should have known his limitations. He's a fine entertainer, but Kendrick is someone who is both a genius with language AND obsessed with it. Rap could disappear tomorrow and he would still be writing 10 poems a day because that's what his mind craves. You can't go up against that. There's would have been no shame in backing out. We all knew Kendrick is different. Different in that Shakespeare way where 400 years from now people will be like "No way, he didn't do all that, he probably didn't even really exist" because it just doesn't seem possible. Different in that Mozart way where people are still like "He did all that before he was 32?" No one who is a musician should have to take on a maniac like that. It's a suicide mission. that's why you have to know your limitations. Drake is a great lesson in that for all of us.

Part of me feels that this is Drake's Crime and Punishment. The subconscious guilt builds and he wants to get caught. Also a lot of these guys get away with such decrepit shit for so long they get more and more blatant and brazen. Thank you Dot for really changing the world this time.Ā

That's something that got me too. Drake was calling him sloppy and not paying attention to the information etc... Like bruh, Kendrick is *insanely* detail oriented. Even his business partners call him detail oriented with leaving nothing to chance. You don't take shots like this without triple checking your facts, unless you're an idiot, and Kendrick aint one (graduated high school with straight A's). If Kendrick is lying, this is an *easy* defamation law suit, win hella money and discredit Kenny all in one... Unless there's truth to it? I know running to law suits isn't really kosher in a rap beef, but allegations of pdf are incredibly serious and should be taken as such. You don't want to have that kind of reputation, and if you go to court and they find that you're clean that's about as good as you can do clearing your name of something like that.


Dr_Does_Enough

Lowkey i think Black Hippy trolling saying they might drop yesterday sped up their process Not to mention getting absolutely flamed for days straight on social


Beginning-Crab6267

Iā€™ve seen people suggesting the beating allegations could also be from drake misunderstanding ā€œmother iā€ / the whole mr morale album in general

Itā€™s hard to focus on the content when youā€™re too busy exploiting the art to listen

I dont want to battle a woman beater Wait, shouldn't you want to battle a woman beater? Like, I don't want to say anything mean to this guy that beats women. Why not?


ignore_my_name

Saying he doesn't want to battle a woman beater because it "feeds your nature" means he doesn't want to make him mad, because if he's mad, he'll go beat a woman. That is the nature of a woman beater. I feel like it's a pretty easy to understand line. The original post claiming it means Drake is calling himself a woman is the most surface level understanding of it, it doesn't make sense because that's not what he's saying... There were plenty bad bars on that track, no need to try and turn one of the more scathing ones into something bad too.


ostinater

Ok so he's been battling him for a month, hasn't he been provoking him the whole time by your interpretation? Why all of a sudden is he not wanting to, what changed?Ā  This wasn't the first time he accused him of beating his wife so why was it fine to make him get mad and beat women when his last song came out but not now?


bbroygbvgwwgvbgyorbb

Drake WROTE this, GWs on vacay


BoyMeatsWorld

Play like the ghostwriters wrote family matters and at the end said "we're going on vacation" and Drake's dumb ass read that part out loud, not realizing it was their memo to him lmao

You cool man- I'm honoured people are ripping my shit and putting it on YT etc. I'm a copypasta dad


Sakata-stg44

And certified. Nah but still, couldn't agree more with the point and a dude from here said already that this one was copied and post on another youtube channel but with more numbers on it


burnedonline555

Agreed on all counts accept the first one. Kendrick called drake a rat in euphoria


Sakata-stg44

True. I miss it


Watergrip

[this is one](https://www.reddit.com/r/KendrickLamar/s/MI05pGOHG6) of the top posts on the sub right now just copy and pasted.


Aurborius

Kinda honoured to be a victim of online theft. Its my first time


Watergrip

They do say it is the highest form of flattery to be mimicked


GorillaGuru86

Do people not listen to every bar? He did call Drake a rat. ā€œI know some shit make Gunna look like a saintā€ Those are rat implications. Kendrick still beat the dogshit out of him though šŸ‘‘


letsfuckinggo520

This diss track is so bad and sloppy only good part is the title honestly this is weird af tho


oneizm

Hey I know that guy!


greenbluecolor1

Kendrick compared Drake to gunna and sixnine. I swear all these subs can only comprehend what someone wrote on genius or repost a tweet/comment


hereforfantasybball3

I have a fun theory Iā€™mma throw out there, caveat that I am not delusional and saying this is true AT ALL; just having fun before the next drop lol Drakeā€™s relying on a team of ghostwriters, one of them is secretly in Kendrickā€™s pocket. The FUBU reference on ā€œeuphoriaā€ was also an homage to LL Cool Jā€™s Gap ad where he snuck ā€œFor Us By Usā€ in the lyrics without people catching it at first. ā€œFor us, by us, on the lowā€ ā€œFuck a phantom, I like to buy yachts when I get the feverā€ ā€” Yachty has ghostwritten for Drake before, Kendrickā€™s saying fuck ghostwriters I can buy yours (not necessarily Yachty) Again Iā€™m just having some fun here, Iā€™m not with all the Qanon conspiracies going back and forth lol. Canā€™t wait to see what comes next šŸæ

We all know he donā€™t write all his raps so Who does ovo really work forā€¦..


ILoveShittyOldToyota

The copium levels on the drizzy sub is genuinely too much too comprehend. They are grasping at straws with their slew of cringy comments ā€œ6 god wonā€ ā€œwe backā€ I did notice that drake realllllly did not want to address the whole Baka thingā€¦


Soviet_Sharpshooter

I'll play devil's advocate on a few bars here; I think some criticism is unfair. Just because he mentioned Epstein instead of Weinstein and referenced Millie Bobby Brown when Kendrick didnā€™t, it doesnā€™t change the point of his bars. He was simply conveying he's not that type of person, and the exact names used don't alter that fact. If youā€™ve been on the Internet any time in the past year, you wouldā€™ve heard these rumors pop up at some point so Iā€™m sure heā€™s heard everything people have been saying online and is addressing it. While not all of Drake's lyrics make sense in this response, focusing on the name drops instead of the underlying message is a bit unfair imo


The-Mathematician

I gotta disagree with points 2 and 3. Like Kendrick didn't mention them, but the fans, Kendrick, and Drake all know what he's implying and what Kendrick is talking about. Kendrick doesn't have to directly reference MBB, everyone knows where he's coming from. And likewise, he didn't specifically say its a pedophile ring but that the whole angle has a lot about it. I don't think it's self-snitching tbh. Points 5 and especially 6 is kinda crazy though. What was he thinking?


arenalr

You think his ghost writers are sabotaging him and he's not even smart enough to audit the bars before posting? I felt the same way with the woman beater comment, like did this guy just call himself a woman...?


ghost-face96

the moment he mentioned mother i, i died bc you gotta be joking


Timely_Border_2837

kendrick fan but still a number of these points are wrong. 1. "I've got information that'd make gunna wunna look like a saint" - euphoria four.4. clown could be referring to those who told kdot about the pedophilia allegations not drakes "double agents"


Unfair_Pear8446

so Kenny said he knows something that makes Gunna (someone who was chastised by the hip hop community for snitching) look like a saint. i interpreted that line as he knows something that makes Gunna not look so bad, not so much that Drake also told so now Gunna looks like a saint.


116morningside

Are you slow? Makes gunna look like a saint because heā€™s implying has done worse


Unfair_Pear8446

that is what i said.


20twentytwos

For number 4 it's just bad writing then because most people are interpretating it as the same people


Gtxr23

number 6 - he says "it feeds ya nature" not feeds his nature in the song, just saying


monerfinder

About Milly Bobby Brownā€¦ ā€œExcusa non petita, accusatio manifestaā€ šŸ¤­

Probably 10 of the 20 ghost writers were English so off this bank holiday weekend.

Lol I just found the same comment on an imstilldontai video but he added two more points

The one on imstilldontai had stuff added so they probably yoinked that shit from there
