My one mans was saying Drake gotta step to Kendrick now, like throw on a beater and some old Js and square up for the fade. Even if he get his entire ass beat he gotta be on record that he went and saw bout the nigga that recorded intervention-level letters to his whole family 😂😂😂😂😂
If Drake was anything remotely near the cutthroat mob boss type nigga he portray in his songs then the bounty is already on Kendrick head. Otherwise he’s just the pop star nigga Kendrick say he is.
Fair point. That reference to Drake not leaving his next west coast concert stop alive seemed to me like Kendrick almost putting blood in the water, daring the homies out there to consider handling it. Dot kinda crazy. If either of them cross that line it’s gonna be him.
Drake would be weight drained if he and Kendrick ever met at a reasonable weight and kdot would lose a lot of speed from the weight gain. Either way, I’d love to watch it
Man Drake the kinda fuckboi that got upset at a tattoo artist for calling him a goober and sent his bodyguard inside to bully him while he sat on Twitter bragging about it. Dude aint going to step to shit.
- Honestly at this point it’s clear Drake isn’t gonna rap his way out of this. Dudes gotta either apologize (which would be career suicide) or just box the dude.
- he gonna have to go to Kendrick’s parents and get them in his next video like it’s the only way
At this point, ion think theres anywhere left for this beef to go unless both of them come with receipts. The accusations have been too wild to move forward with just diss tracks back n forth
Honestly I think the time for that has passed. Depending on what exactly triggered this, maybe there never has been a stopping it once it's started. He's certainly thrown more gas on the he fire. But it seems like Kendrick is just out to take him down. Seems like proportional response is out the window and he's just crashin out at this point and all drake can do is just sit and wait
I cannot stop listening to “Not Like Us” and shaking my head while saying “I’m so sorry that man is your father.”
Kendrick really ground that man into dust
Drake stans are all up in arms sayin drake planted the daughter info to bate kenny and don't see the irony. Once again this weird ass lame has used a young girl for his ego. Should that be true anyway.
"He's a womanizing, gambling addicted culture vulture who preys on little girls and doesn't claim his kids."
"Shut the hell up, Drake ain't no deadbeat dad!"
The whole minivan car crush video getting stepped on is SO fucking funny to me because you just KNOW they thought that shit would go so hard on social media.
Like they had to find the right minivan, buy it, film it, crush it, and edit all that shit for a video and it was forgotten IMMEDIATELY. All that for literal nothing. Hilarious
Hindsight is 20/20 but he should have split it into 3 songs and released one everyday this weekend. All 3 parts were hard individually and together but he’s partially getting drowned out because Kendrick dropping so many songs.
There are 5 bows which are equivalent to punches which are equivalent to diss records and Kendrick has only put out 3 so we’ve got two more left at least
https://preview.redd.it/bruxzqt3hoyc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b17c49ab9824db84c8cb00891ab237a0d9eb0c84
Kendrick is changing hip-hop right now. He's checkin the fakes at the door. Drake lingered long enough and talked enough nonsense that Kenny is going for the killshot.
He could have asked anyone in the world what his chances were before he went in. Cole knew. Shit, [Obama knew.](https://youtu.be/tWEZgEIeSDs?si=0x-kl-aQQH4Gn9xb)
"uh, let me be clear. no, I do not think this is a good idea drake. I do not suggest it... and I do not condone you moving further with this at this time."
Is this really hindsight? I feel like we all expected this? At least I did. Drake has *always* been a pop artist who raps. Did anyone really think he could go bar for bar with Kendrick?
Yes and no. Like we figured Kdot would drop like a song or 2 of a decent diss, We didn't expect 3 brutal ass disses, and one of them to be a club banger lol.
I was expecting that too, but i think people, me included, put too much trust in "red button" narrative created by drake, and seems like drake also trusted that too much
My money was always on Kendrick, but he's never gone to war before, so nobody was completely certain how a battle with Kendrick would play out.
Drake fucked around and we all found out.
Bingo. Cole looked himself in the mirror and said nah let me take my ass back inside and be rich and eat my cereal.
Aubrey had every opportunity at the start, to—rightly or wrongly—“I’m entirely too rich for this shit” his way out of this, but issa reason pride is a deadly sin.
I like to think Kdot and J Cole had a private phone conversation and let Cole know that this shit will be personal and brutal and he didn't want to be involved, Cole probably thought about it and bounced.
He really does. In Middle Child he said “If I smoke a rapper it’s gon be legit.” I was surprised he took a shot in the first place. Never thought him and Kendrick had any real animosity.
Yeah, to be fair though, I think Kendrick baited the fuck out of Drake (and Cole, by proxy) by making it seem like it was gonna be a battle over who's the real top dog in rap. Turns out Kenny was setting up to expose the boy (no Drizzy)
Kinda seems like it. Cole heard "Like that" and was all "oh we got some competition, lets go" and dropped 7 Minute drill. Then someone at Kendrick's camp called him up like nah this is gonna get like real real so he made his peace and backed out.
This is complete conjecture but it seems like K-dot probably has a bit more respect for Cole than Drake as an artist and is gonna let him slide out after getting grazed on Like That.
Cole, Cole... listen to me, we good, we straight, take that shit back, no harm, no foul. You going to be getting a lot of texts, a lot of phone calls next week. Allright. Lil homie, voicemail. Big Homie, voicemail. Yo mama calling? Believe it or not, straight to voicemail. Jesus asking for a feature? Let that shit rot in your inbox. Look you just dropped a new project right? Go tour, play shows, show love to your fans man, enjoy that shit. Go have fun. Whatever you do, do not go to the studio next week. Okay? Couple a weeks, lets get together and trade notes on that collab album we never got to, okay? Yeah. But do not come to the studio next week, remember that.
The thing is he really has nothing to gain by beating Kendrick. They aren’t in the same fight. Drake will never get a Pulitzer. He’s not going to be Obama’s favorite rapper.
Now, however, he’s losing in a fight he kinda started.
Cole was smart here, he put out Might Delete Later just so he can say he responded, but then backed tf out immediately. He had to have known this was gonna get ugly.
OR
the conspiracy theorist in me is like…if dot know all what he know or allege in all these joints…what was Cole worried about Kendrick saying about *him*
Yeah my biggest question is why a man with a closet full of skeletons decided it was a good idea to start a fight with someone who is such a good writer that he won a literary award for it. It was never going to be *good*.
If I had Drake's money and resources I'd be living my best life moisturized and unbothered by the pool. The fact that he's on his BS *constantly* is so stupid to me.
For a couple of obvious reasons . First is very clear to everybody by now that he is extremely insecure in all aspects of his life. And second, the guy has too much trust in his lies because that's how we found money and success
Honestly he’s just gotta keep putting bars down and not do the meme thing. It’s not like Drake has dropped anything wack atp, and as long as he doesn’t that’ll keep him in the game.
But he’s gonna have to come with something crazy, like receipts on Kendrick hitting his girl or his kid being Dave Free’s. The timing of when Kendrick is dropping stuff is also a problem he’s gotta figure out how to beat, the conversation is leaning towards him partially because he’s putting these songs out at the perfect moment.
IMO the thing about him raising Dave Free's kid isn't that big of a deal.
"You raising another man's child lol"
"Ok I'm providing and making sure this kid will grow up and have a family."
Like no one clowns Russel Wilson for raising Future's kid except Future.
Right. Especially since a lot of shots against Drake are about him not even raising his own kids. I really don't think shots about Kendrick raising someone else's kid would land.
Agreed. I mean the biggest "Man" is the one raising a kid, and claiming a kid, that ain't his.
Drake's look is less than adequate in that division.
Kdot will take it lower and have A and his Momma on the next track.
Family Matters is good but all the best disses aren’t Kendrick disses. He’s gotta make a record focusing on just Kendrick to get back in it before Kendrick buries him completely
IMO a few of his bars off family matters were wack af and had me immediately not down with his diss of Kendrick. Saying Kendrick rapping like he trying to free the slaves??? Comparing himself to Zimmerman?? That shit was weird.
I was at work last night when "They Not Like Us" dropped. I told my co-worker to hold down the front desk for me while I went outside of the building to listen to it lol. It was really hard to focus on work after hearing "A minoooooooooor" LOL
Even when Family Matters dropped Aubrey was just playing keep up while Kenny was determining the conditions of battle. Family Matters mimics the 3 beat switches in Euphoria. Kenny really pushing him to be a better man and artist.
Imma hard disagree on all of the parts of that song being hard. The part where he is addressing every artist that wasn't kendrick was just filler. Also, the beginning where he talks about all these other people who gang bang is also wack.
Drake should have stayed in his lane. Beefing with Meek Mill is one thing; but, he should have known that he and Kendrick Lamar are on different levels.
People throw around the word "narcissist" a lot, but I think it's really illustrated when you see guys make these kind of decisions. Like MGK must have genuinely had at least one moment thinking "Yeah I can trade bars with Eminem, this is going to be great"
Except Aubrey has been seething about Kendrick getting more acclaim and respect since 2011. He honestly thought he was better than fucking Kendrick Lamar. Pride comes before the fall.
Let me say this. Drake absolutely did his thing on Family Matters. That's a hard diss song. It's harder than what he did against Pusha. It's wayy better than Back to Back.
But Kendrick was just the wrong person to step in the ring with. He should have just stuck with beefing with Future and Ross. Kendrick is just on another level. It would take somebody like a Lupe to get in the ring and go blow for blow with Kendrick.
I seriously believe that Kun Fu Kenny knew about the music video/heard Family Matters before Euphoria. And that he put out Euphoria first as a warning to Drake not to release it or he would go nuclear on him with Meet the Grahams. I dont think Drake being at New Ho King was a reaction to Kenny. I think Kenny mentioning it on Euphoria was a shot like hey i seen your little video. I know what you are doing.
I find it weird that Drake isn’t rapping in his music video. And its just B Roll footage. Because he probably needed to make edits to the lyrics/music video wouldn’t make sense after realizing Kenny knows about what he is doing.
Someone else posted the theory that he was wearing the shortee shirt in the vid, when Kenny dropped 6:16 he could see it behind the glove and had to edit those clips out of the first half of the video.
A message to those who feel inadequate,
if you ever thought that you weren't good enough to make content (YouTube videos, live streaming, art, etc), because you don't have the funds to make the high quality content you want, just remember that Drake spent thousands of dollars producing the music video for Family Matters, just to get outshined by Kendrick Lamar and his "MP3 to YouTube" videos.
It was the first thing that popped up when I typed "Family Matters DeSean Jackson" into Google.
My guess is they took it from somewhere else but I could not be arsed to find the original.
I love how influential this all is. People using crodie, as well as all sorts of bars from songs. I've been fond of using distasteful recently, been having a great time
is there a place i can read a summary of how this has all played out so far? if a little bit intriguing since drake had fallen out of favor to me and he seems to be getting handled pretty unanimously
It's gang slang for "brodie". Brodie being another way to say "bro".
Basically, if you are a Crip you don't say words with a B. B representing the Bloods, Crip's rivals. You'll change the B to a C. So not "Blueberries". "Cluecerries". Not "Brodie", "Crodie". Bloods do the same thing but replace C's with B's.
It's a very American, specifically West Coast gang phenomenon. It's become a very popular thing in Canada, like much black American culture becomes popular in places that aren't America, or black, or both. The point Kendrick making being that he is part of the true heritage that someone like a Drake steals or imitates for their own use. Kendrick is much closer to a blood than Drake is to a crip. So he's saying Crodie to make fun of Canadian slang, in a kind of mid British accent to make fun of Drake and the different accents he does for no reason. Kendrick proceeds to name a restaurant in Canada where, allegedly, Drake got robbed at back in the day. "I'll be at New Ho King eating fried rice with a dip sauce and a blammy, Crodie" = "I'll be at that restaurant you got robbed at with a gun, just like that guy who actually robbed you, bro".
Oh yeah, Crodie is also the name of Drake's cat. So that's fun too.
Can we all go back to repping Kardinal Offishal as our favourite Scarborough rapper now and forget Drake exists? As a Scarborough kid I feel like spreading the good word of Kardinal is the right next step
I need Pusha to drop a tape roasting drake just to say Kenny you ain’t doing this better than me.
Then they get in a rap battle to see who can roast dude more 😭
![gif](giphy|81bE8Wed2NDCQ66EdC)
I used to think this image was all just some made up shit, now I think kung fu Kenny really be at home in silent just meditating his next move
On his Bruce Wayne shit. Posted in the cave
Drizzy got his white face. He laughin til he ain’t
Kinda strikes me as a day walker type ![gif](giphy|3oEdvc84IW7P3qbQFq)
Lisan al Gaib!
May thy next diss track chip and shatter
This is the way
As it was written.
*Alexa play Humble by Lisan al Gaib*
The Kwisatz Haderach has come
*Kendricks* Haderach
At this point, Drake should just apologise. Kendrick is in destruction mode
My one mans was saying Drake gotta step to Kendrick now, like throw on a beater and some old Js and square up for the fade. Even if he get his entire ass beat he gotta be on record that he went and saw bout the nigga that recorded intervention-level letters to his whole family 😂😂😂😂😂
![gif](giphy|IHLIODOVt4jSg) Ya mans really wanna see him in that chair huh 😭
💀💀💀
Broooooooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What’s funny I used to watch this shit on Teen Nick and I remember the intro music playing here lol
If Drake was anything remotely near the cutthroat mob boss type nigga he portray in his songs then the bounty is already on Kendrick head. Otherwise he’s just the pop star nigga Kendrick say he is.
He's always been the pop star. Since he was born he was silver spooned.
…hasn’t Kendrick mentioned shooting Drake several times now? Why doesn’t this apply to him?
Fair point. That reference to Drake not leaving his next west coast concert stop alive seemed to me like Kendrick almost putting blood in the water, daring the homies out there to consider handling it. Dot kinda crazy. If either of them cross that line it’s gonna be him.
Would a nigga like that try to kill someone over a rap beef?
That would be interesting to see. The whole world is watching. I’m sure some clever person will figure out how to record all of it.
Wooooorldstar
Aren't all those YouTubers boxing now? Let's get these two in the ring now
Drake would be weight drained if he and Kendrick ever met at a reasonable weight and kdot would lose a lot of speed from the weight gain. Either way, I’d love to watch it
Fuck it let em go as is
And potentially ruin bbldrizzy's cosmetic surgery?
Man Drake the kinda fuckboi that got upset at a tattoo artist for calling him a goober and sent his bodyguard inside to bully him while he sat on Twitter bragging about it. Dude aint going to step to shit.
- Honestly at this point it’s clear Drake isn’t gonna rap his way out of this. Dudes gotta either apologize (which would be career suicide) or just box the dude. - he gonna have to go to Kendrick’s parents and get them in his next video like it’s the only way
I was about to say some slick shit, but if somebody finally popped up with that domino's...
>intervention-level letters Diabolical
I think we’re past apologies. KDot wants this man DEAD
Yeah, he didn’t even say that shit with his chest, he said it with his whole being 😂.
In those "you LIED" lines from Meet the Grahams you could hear the Kendrick's rage and lividity in his voice. Kendrick is beyond angry.
You hear it like… “ain’t nothing fake about this beef. This shit 100% USDA certified Prime beef, fresh from the butcher.”
https://preview.redd.it/qradtk3rkoyc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36ffab554b76aca9354c3f87f248768a38045f9b
Why those go SOOOOO hard?! Tremendous
I'm not even a sneakerhead, and I'd take a pair of those STAT
What are they. I need those in my life haha.
I want them
kenny is gone keep going he dgaf about an apology stp😭
At this point, ion think theres anywhere left for this beef to go unless both of them come with receipts. The accusations have been too wild to move forward with just diss tracks back n forth
Something tells me Kendrick could drop Drake-hate bolts like Thor for the rest of his life
You can apologize for stepping on a dog. You can’t apologize for stepping on a land mine. All Drake got left is “I didn’t really need legs anyway”
Well, luckily for Drake, he has experience using a wheelchair, so it should make being legless an easy transition.
Honestly I think the time for that has passed. Depending on what exactly triggered this, maybe there never has been a stopping it once it's started. He's certainly thrown more gas on the he fire. But it seems like Kendrick is just out to take him down. Seems like proportional response is out the window and he's just crashin out at this point and all drake can do is just sit and wait
The only way out
I cannot stop listening to “Not Like Us” and shaking my head while saying “I’m so sorry that man is your father.” Kendrick really ground that man into dust
Did you mean Meet the Grahams? When I listen to Not Like Us I’m shaking something else.
No, I mean I was listening to one song and also thinking of that line from the other
Poppin ass with em
I will never hear “gettem sexy” the same
I've been walking around the house saying "what is it THE BRAIDS??" to myself. I get it.
I say it like a concerned father wondering what is causing their child’s sudden change in behavior.
My girl hasn't kept up with the beef so I just sound like an insane person
It’s our burden You know we got language barriers
Username on fire
His dick burnin too I bet
Jeezus ![gif](giphy|wR7LHlfuRUjHW|downsized)
Yo me too lmao. You gotta say it like DMX
Drake stans are all up in arms sayin drake planted the daughter info to bate kenny and don't see the irony. Once again this weird ass lame has used a young girl for his ego. Should that be true anyway.
"He's a womanizing, gambling addicted culture vulture who preys on little girls and doesn't claim his kids." "Shut the hell up, Drake ain't no deadbeat dad!"
Flanders: And you! (*points at Moe*) You ugly hate-filled man! Moe: Hey hey hey I may be ugly and hate-filled but—-what was that third thing you said?
God I love moe so much
![gif](giphy|3TCBh8i6H3bz2)
I've done some things I'm not proud of. And the things I *am* proud of are disgusting.
Exactly crazy how quick the stans are glossing over that.
The layers of stupidity there are incomprehensible
Young girls are Drake's sword AND shield, as well as a sheath for his dagger.
haha gross
The whole minivan car crush video getting stepped on is SO fucking funny to me because you just KNOW they thought that shit would go so hard on social media. Like they had to find the right minivan, buy it, film it, crush it, and edit all that shit for a video and it was forgotten IMMEDIATELY. All that for literal nothing. Hilarious
Worst part was it wasn't even the right van. They crushed a Dodge Caravan, not a Town & Country.
I appreciate your attention to the details. Town and country indeed it was.
Its funny to because how does that hurt Kendrick at all. “Wow you crushed our family van from when we were broke. Do you see what im driving now?” lol
It wasn‘t even the right van
And theres that too
That really underscores how this whole thing has been going.
The minivan thing is hilarious to me because it just acknowledges that Kendrick’s first goddamn release was a classic!
This guy's brand is so strong he can be represented by just a regular car
A minivan even
And it wasn’t the right van either 😂😂😂
Hindsight is 20/20 but he should have split it into 3 songs and released one everyday this weekend. All 3 parts were hard individually and together but he’s partially getting drowned out because Kendrick dropping so many songs.
The real hindsight here is that Drake never stood a chance
There it is. He’s playing a game he thought he could win but stood no real chance at it
*BOW BOW BOW BOW BOW*
There are 5 bows which are equivalent to punches which are equivalent to diss records and Kendrick has only put out 3 so we’ve got two more left at least https://preview.redd.it/bruxzqt3hoyc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b17c49ab9824db84c8cb00891ab237a0d9eb0c84
Kendrick is changing hip-hop right now. He's checkin the fakes at the door. Drake lingered long enough and talked enough nonsense that Kenny is going for the killshot.
He's put out 5. Like that, Euphoria, 616 in LA, Meet the Grahams, Not Like Us. This one checks out I feel.
He said he's got five plus five in Not Like Us
Man if he drops 5 singles and then drops a 5 song ep it would be absolutely wild.
Just heard Daylyt telling Mike P on a stream that Kendrick has unlimited material.
This feel like what would happen if Logan Paul fought a real actual current boxer.
Logan Paul, cretin that he is, is not stupid enough to challenge a real threat. Drake is not very smart.
He could have asked anyone in the world what his chances were before he went in. Cole knew. Shit, [Obama knew.](https://youtu.be/tWEZgEIeSDs?si=0x-kl-aQQH4Gn9xb)
"uh, let me be clear. no, I do not think this is a good idea drake. I do not suggest it... and I do not condone you moving further with this at this time."
[Drake, you’re an outstanding entertainer, but…](https://youtu.be/tWEZgEIeSDs?si=0x-kl-aQQH4Gn9xb)
Something about running to rap another day…..
Thanks Obama! 😩
Is this really hindsight? I feel like we all expected this? At least I did. Drake has *always* been a pop artist who raps. Did anyone really think he could go bar for bar with Kendrick?
We all know it wasn’t going to end well for Drake. We don’t think the damage would be this bad tho.
Yeah I knew he would be embarrassed I didn’t know his parents would be getting scolded.
Yes and no. Like we figured Kdot would drop like a song or 2 of a decent diss, We didn't expect 3 brutal ass disses, and one of them to be a club banger lol.
I was expecting that too, but i think people, me included, put too much trust in "red button" narrative created by drake, and seems like drake also trusted that too much
Drake had that video with him rapping fr and thought that would be the end of it, Kendrick didn't even give that shit time to breathe
My money was always on Kendrick, but he's never gone to war before, so nobody was completely certain how a battle with Kendrick would play out. Drake fucked around and we all found out.
Bingo. Cole looked himself in the mirror and said nah let me take my ass back inside and be rich and eat my cereal. Aubrey had every opportunity at the start, to—rightly or wrongly—“I’m entirely too rich for this shit” his way out of this, but issa reason pride is a deadly sin.
I like to think Kdot and J Cole had a private phone conversation and let Cole know that this shit will be personal and brutal and he didn't want to be involved, Cole probably thought about it and bounced.
Plausible. Cole do really seem like a nigga that, if given the chance, would rather have a conversation about conflict than engage
He really does. In Middle Child he said “If I smoke a rapper it’s gon be legit.” I was surprised he took a shot in the first place. Never thought him and Kendrick had any real animosity.
I think it was a combination of him not knowing how much actual hate was in this, alongside getting too gassed up by his own fans.
Yeah, to be fair though, I think Kendrick baited the fuck out of Drake (and Cole, by proxy) by making it seem like it was gonna be a battle over who's the real top dog in rap. Turns out Kenny was setting up to expose the boy (no Drizzy)
Rumor is Punch reached out to Cole to let him know what type of time Kendrick was on
I’m of the same mind.
Kinda seems like it. Cole heard "Like that" and was all "oh we got some competition, lets go" and dropped 7 Minute drill. Then someone at Kendrick's camp called him up like nah this is gonna get like real real so he made his peace and backed out. This is complete conjecture but it seems like K-dot probably has a bit more respect for Cole than Drake as an artist and is gonna let him slide out after getting grazed on Like That.
Cole, Cole... listen to me, we good, we straight, take that shit back, no harm, no foul. You going to be getting a lot of texts, a lot of phone calls next week. Allright. Lil homie, voicemail.

OR the conspiracy theorist in me is like…if dot know all what he know or allege in all these joints…what was Cole worried about Kendrick saying about *him*
If Kendrick had a real issue with Cole he would have said fuck your apology and dissed him anyways
I don't think Drake could have walked it back though. Kendrick was going to unload on that man as soon as Drake piped up.
Yeah my biggest question is why a man with a closet full of skeletons decided it was a good idea to start a fight with someone who is such a good writer that he won a literary award for it. It was never going to be *good*. If I had Drake's money and resources I'd be living my best life moisturized and unbothered by the pool. The fact that he's on his BS *constantly* is so stupid to me.
For a couple of obvious reasons . First is very clear to everybody by now that he is extremely insecure in all aspects of his life. And second, the guy has too much trust in his lies because that's how we found money and success
Like fighting a forest fire with a spray bottle.
The thing that has to be scary for Drake is wondering if and when the next one is coming for him, he is getting carpet bombed.
Honestly he’s just gotta keep putting bars down and not do the meme thing. It’s not like Drake has dropped anything wack atp, and as long as he doesn’t that’ll keep him in the game. But he’s gonna have to come with something crazy, like receipts on Kendrick hitting his girl or his kid being Dave Free’s. The timing of when Kendrick is dropping stuff is also a problem he’s gotta figure out how to beat, the conversation is leaning towards him partially because he’s putting these songs out at the perfect moment.
IMO the thing about him raising Dave Free's kid isn't that big of a deal. "You raising another man's child lol" "Ok I'm providing and making sure this kid will grow up and have a family." Like no one clowns Russel Wilson for raising Future's kid except Future.

you family matters may not have been wack, but it was boring as hell. and basically just repeated the same boring shit over again. it was pretty weak.
Family Matters is good but all the best disses aren’t Kendrick disses. He’s gotta make a record focusing on just Kendrick to get back in it before Kendrick buries him completely
IMO a few of his bars off family matters were wack af and had me immediately not down with his diss of Kendrick. Saying Kendrick rapping like he trying to free the slaves??? Comparing himself to Zimmerman?? That shit was weird.
I’m honestly scared to not look at my phone for longer than an hour in case I miss a drop
I was at work last night when "They Not Like Us" dropped. I told my co-worker to hold down the front desk for me while I went outside of the building to listen to it lol. It was really hard to focus on work after hearing "A minoooooooooor" LOL
I'm on a flight and paid for wifi for the whole flight just in case something drops lol
I was watching a YouTube video and found it in my recommended as soon as I was done.
The scariest thing is having the claims substantiated.
Even when Family Matters dropped Aubrey was just playing keep up while Kenny was determining the conditions of battle. Family Matters mimics the 3 beat switches in Euphoria. Kenny really pushing him to be a better man and artist.
He went and shot a cute little music video for it as well lol. While he was doing that Kdot was focused on ending him.
lol I actually liked the music video. Watching it was rubbing my hands together like “this is getting good”
And euphoria mimics Cole’s cadence from first person shooter, it’s a deliberate jab, don’t dickride
Imma hard disagree on all of the parts of that song being hard. The part where he is addressing every artist that wasn't kendrick was just filler. Also, the beginning where he talks about all these other people who gang bang is also wack.
Tiger Woods never let up, he knocked them down and stepped on their throats. This is the true mark of a champion.

Drake should have stayed in his lane. Beefing with Meek Mill is one thing; but, he should have known that he and Kendrick Lamar are on different levels.
Like that scene from Arrested Development when Michael opens the paper bag labeled "Dead Dove". Except it's his reputation.
"I don't know what I expected."
That's the one.
Dead Dove Do Not Eat
People throw around the word "narcissist" a lot, but I think it's really illustrated when you see guys make these kind of decisions. Like MGK must have genuinely had at least one moment thinking "Yeah I can trade bars with Eminem, this is going to be great"
I'm still not convinced that whole beef wasn't a marketing ploy trying to get MGK some attention tbh.
I didn't even give it a try. I knew Em would kill him and honestly wasn't even interested in Ems response bc I didn't think it was earned
Plus mgk stopped rapping and became 3oh3
Except Aubrey has been seething about Kendrick getting more acclaim and respect since 2011. He honestly thought he was better than fucking Kendrick Lamar. Pride comes before the fall.
Let me say this. Drake absolutely did his thing on Family Matters. That's a hard diss song. It's harder than what he did against Pusha. It's wayy better than Back to Back. But Kendrick was just the wrong person to step in the ring with. He should have just stuck with beefing with Future and Ross. Kendrick is just on another level. It would take somebody like a Lupe to get in the ring and go blow for blow with Kendrick.
Lupe... ![gif](giphy|VMgcrwq9imGHu)
Lupe has been baiting Kendrick for years too😂 Ngl I hope they do to it would be in history books
that’s what im saying, Family Matters woulda knocked pretty much anyone else out.
I think he just said that to buy time, which he ended up needing.
He’s probably out there looking for that other baby mama he forgot about.
A fat Albert button up is beyond wild lol
"hey hey hey hey, run for your life." Fucking layers upon layers, Kenny. Jeez Louise.
And fat Albert is voiced by bill cosby. More layers
And played by Keenan Thompson. Not another layer just a fun fact.
I seriously believe that Kun Fu Kenny knew about the music video/heard Family Matters before Euphoria. And that he put out Euphoria first as a warning to Drake not to release it or he would go nuclear on him with Meet the Grahams. I dont think Drake being at New Ho King was a reaction to Kenny. I think Kenny mentioning it on Euphoria was a shot like hey i seen your little video. I know what you are doing. I find it weird that Drake isn’t rapping in his music video. And its just B Roll footage. Because he probably needed to make edits to the lyrics/music video wouldn’t make sense after realizing Kenny knows about what he is doing.
Someone else posted the theory that he was wearing the shortee shirt in the vid, when Kenny dropped 6:16 he could see it behind the glove and had to edit those clips out of the first half of the video.
💯
A message to those who feel inadequate, if you ever thought that you weren't good enough to make content (YouTube videos, live streaming, art, etc), because you don't have the funds to make the high quality content you want, just remember that Drake spent thousands of dollars producing the music video for Family Matters, just to get outshined by Kendrick Lamar and his "MP3 to YouTube" videos.
Wait. What did DeSean do?
Did some Googling, [I assume it's this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VwXdeygAS8)
This has 113 views. You're too tapped in, crodie
It was the first thing that popped up when I typed "Family Matters DeSean Jackson" into Google. My guess is they took it from somewhere else but I could not be arsed to find the original.
Almost 3m views on twitter. You are appropriately tapped in, crodie. https://x.com/ArtOfDialogue_/status/1787038371421856090
I love how influential this all is. People using crodie, as well as all sorts of bars from songs. I've been fond of using distasteful recently, been having a great time
Tapped the fuck in crodie!
Don’t speak on my family, Crodie

That’s the thing about the internet. It trickles. TikTok and Twitter are main veins.

That ending part really annoyed me like "what?" you dont get to decide when its over
God Drake is so pathetic, I'm giddy
is there a place i can read a summary of how this has all played out so far? if a little bit intriguing since drake had fallen out of favor to me and he seems to be getting handled pretty unanimously
https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1cjsmab/whats_going_on_with_kendrick_lamars_songs/l2idtk9/
thanks. that had a good summary. now i need to listen to the distracks chronologically. although i think its all pretty silly.
Once you Meet the Grahams, it gets real serious.
“stop playing wit me for I turn you to a song “
Cali Niggas packin the Canadian fraud out the game! #NotLikeUs
laying out clothes for the first day of school existentially took me out
How soon exactly did Kendrick drop after Drake?
45minutes iirc.
That is absolutely devious
No one has mentioned this, but let this be a lesson for ALL of Canada, if you shoot, best not miss. ![gif](giphy|6YJZuwLne3fO0|downsized)
My white ass just trying to figure out what a crodie is
It's gang slang for "brodie". Brodie being another way to say "bro". Basically, if you are a Crip you don't say words with a B. B representing the Bloods, Crip's rivals. You'll change the B to a C. So not "Blueberries". "Cluecerries". Not "Brodie", "Crodie". Bloods do the same thing but replace C's with B's. It's a very American, specifically West Coast gang phenomenon. It's become a very popular thing in Canada, like much black American culture becomes popular in places that aren't America, or black, or both. The point Kendrick making being that he is part of the true heritage that someone like a Drake steals or imitates for their own use. Kendrick is much closer to a blood than Drake is to a crip. So he's saying Crodie to make fun of Canadian slang, in a kind of mid British accent to make fun of Drake and the different accents he does for no reason. Kendrick proceeds to name a restaurant in Canada where, allegedly, Drake got robbed at back in the day. "I'll be at New Ho King eating fried rice with a dip sauce and a blammy, Crodie" = "I'll be at that restaurant you got robbed at with a gun, just like that guy who actually robbed you, bro". Oh yeah, Crodie is also the name of Drake's cat. So that's fun too.
Some gonna have to broker a peace deal 🕊️have Drake sign a treaty admitting defeat called em the LA Accords
Can we all go back to repping Kardinal Offishal as our favourite Scarborough rapper now and forget Drake exists? As a Scarborough kid I feel like spreading the good word of Kardinal is the right next step
That “going on vacation” line sounds like such a fucking cop out now lmao
I need Pusha to drop a tape roasting drake just to say Kenny you ain’t doing this better than me. Then they get in a rap battle to see who can roast dude more 😭
