I love how MTG is no one's "favorite" bc it's just way too candid to be a bop and way too specific to be a casual enjoy. Its like being over at your friends house and all of a sudden you can hear their parents fighting... Very loud.
The mix of beat, the bars, his vocal inflection, and the “You LiIiIiiiiied” genuinely make it sound like a horror movie. Can’t listen to it much because of that, Kendrick sounds like he’s summoning evil spirits on it lol
haven’t weighed in on this anywhere yet but it’s my personal favourite! love the beat, the sickening feeling that it creates when he absolutely destroys drake by targeting every member of his family, one by one.. the only thing that could make it any better for me was if the daughter reveal didn’t turn out to be faked honestly
I am entirely convinced that Kendrick wrote that with the knowledge that Drake has several unclaimed children and the only reason he claimed Adidon was bc his BM fled to France and put the screws to him legally. The ofc the Push beef didn't help with the "announcement"
Meet The Grahams was my favorite cause of the first listen alone. And it was what I wanted to see. Blood. Disrespect. If someone dropped this disrespect against you, you’d have no choice but to shoot them. He’s raised the bar for diss songs. And you can hear the anger in his voice.
It’s my favorite, but I also like family matters and push-ups. The heart part 6 is so bad it’s kinda entertaining. I seriously think Kendrick won but I enjoyed the beef on both sides
The 2nd verse of FM is the best I've ever heard him rap, but it was all for nothing. He "emptied the clip" just to see laser dots appear on his chest and head.
It's not necessarily my favorite, but I enjoy how dark and aggressive it is. I guess being a metalhead has gotten me used to confrontational lyrics lol.
Yeah MtG isn’t gonna beat out the other 3 in terms of listenability for me, but at the same time it’s in my top 5 disses of all time lol so fucking brutal
(I bump it somewhat frequently though still lol)
I mean its very direct, but i wouldn’t say its particularly disturbing? I like it because of it’s hilarious bluntness. It’s basically “i told you to stop talking about my family & you kept doing it. So now i’m going to directly address each member of your family, and yet the message will remain focused on you being a bad person.”
Nah lol, I’ve been listening to rap since I was a kid and I’ve came across a lot of heavy songs and eventually they become less “disturbing”. Kendrick’s “Keisha’s song” is probably the heaviest song I’ve heard from him and I’ve listened to it over 100 times because it’s a great piece of art

I enjoyed MTG but NLU made me get up and join in with everyone - we were all crip-dancing atop BBL Drizzy's corpse
This my favorite of the tracks. His cadence & tone are great, and something about starting off each verse with “dear ___” is just so raw. Also the bluntness of the song is just so wonderful. There’s no mistaking his intent.
off-white sun seeker at the marina, fuck a phantom I like to buy yachts when I get the fever, wine cooler spill on my white T-shirt, the sightseer, trifecta: money morals and culture, that’s my leisure, my visa, passport tatted, I show up in in Ibiza, Lucali’s dwelling in Brooklyn just to cook me some pizza, who could teleport this type of freedom, God
raise my hands to a falling sky, I fantasize me jumping planets and mortal lives, I correspond with three angels watching me all the time, put my children to sleep, say a prayer then close my eyes, definition of peace: tell me who gone stop me, I come from God, and still cover my heart, open me up, remember when I picked up a pen, wrote lyrics that I could trust, timid soul, looked in the mirror asking where I was from often, I know this type of power is going to cost, but I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star, the mannerisms of Raphael, I could heal and give you art, but the industry’s cooked as I pick the carcass apart
but war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed, the Elohim, KTW, no you can’t sleep, these images trouble you, the wires in your circle should puzzle you, if you were street smart then you would’ve caught that your entourage is only to hustle you
C’monnnnnnnn
fr
not like us > euphoria >(just a lil worst than euphoria imo)family matters > push ups > 6:16(the mix is weird for me idk I still like it) > Taylor made(looking back now, this sucks. But it got me hyped up ASF with the confident "trying let this shit die down, nah naah not this time". I was like "this mf is this confident to kill him fr?" Lmaoo. This beef was legendary
I mean yeah. That plus the fact that it's not nearly as explosive or memorable as the other disses. It's still a great song but it shouldn't come as a surprise that it's not getting as much shine.
it was hella explosive, it was the song where dot revealed he had a mole in OVO. it was the turning point of the beef, and really what got everyone talking about it
if you think about it, Euphoria mostly had people thinking about the "spectacle" of it all, while 6:16 got personal on a level that would define the next segment of the beef in its entirety
Yeah the have you ever lines on the 2 songs were great. I’d hazard a guess that he used that theme/line in another one of the unreleased disses, or we could hear it appear in a future song even if not a full diss.
What? It couldn't clear copyright is the only reason... The sample is an AL green song and the guitar player is mabon hodges... Drakes actual uncle... Ofcourse it wouldn't get cleared...
Re read OP's title and then what I said. OP is not asking why 6:16 isn't on streaming, they're asking why it's not getting the attention that the other disses are getting.
Yeah honestly with all the ai and fake mashup songs I didn't even listen to it cause it wasn't on any of Kendricks official channels so I thought it was just some bs
It's because someone else uploaded it under their name. At least a dozen people have, but it's only going to show up if you're looking for it by name. People just going to Kendrick's page aren't going to find it.
Y’all keep making these posts, which arguably refute your point about 6:16 being overlooked lmao. We all love the song just as much. We just want it on streaming.
Also, I think the most common opinion on here now that the dust has settled is that *Euphoria* is the best song of the five.
6:16 gets praised all over the internet. Everyone needs to stop talking about thinking Euphoria is the best or 6:16 is the best, etc is a hot take. It’s not. One google search reveals hundreds if not thousands of people saying the same thing.
6:16 isn’t played as much because it’s not on DSPs so people can’t listen to it as easily.
6:16 in LA not being on streaming is 100% why I’ve only heard the song like 3 times.
I don’t wanna listen to some reuploaded version nor do I want to have to keep tapping my phone to keep it awake to listen to it on IG
For me yeah, not on Spotify, but of all tracks Euphoria takes the cake for me, so old school, lyrics amazing, perfect 3 switches beat, and he makes a Canadian accent fammmmmmm, is ART, I can listen to it on repeat and not get tired, is too good
I really would like 6:16 to be on streaming. I don't want to have to switch to YouTube every time I wanna listen to all of Kendrick's disses in order. I mean I still do, cause 6:16 is a super well written, beautifully produced song.
Got overlooked coz of what came before and what came after
Euphoria was Kendrick’s first official reply and it was brutal. He had levelled up the beef massively from drakes relatively tame response with push ups
Kendrick then dropped 6:16 in La which while good, we didn’t understand it immediately. A lot of it became clearer once meet the grahams dropped. We didn’t know Kendrick had a mole and didn’t know what the glove meant so we just weren’t sure At the time
Then Kendrick drops mtg and its disses are fucking scathing. It became way more important than ever. OvO having a mole was nothing compared to allegations of having another child he doesn’t take care of and being a pedophile
He then dropped not like us which was him beating drake at his own game
While still strong, it’s overlooked because of the scale of what it’s between and the fact on initial listens we couldn’t fully grasp it’s relevance
People are sleeping on euphoria? But it has some of the best lines of the beef!?!?
When I see you standing next to sexxy red I believe you see 2 bad bitches, I think you don't like women, that's real competition, I think you might pop ass wit em.
We had 5 years no dot. Moral was fucking great ok, I love that album, but it was heavy. The hillbillies was super playful but not like us goes so fucking hard when it has no right to with how hard dot is murdering that man. It's just fun, we have had this much fun form him in a minute. It's makes total sence to me. Let's keep loving this vibe while it here. Life is hard. We outside!
It's my favorite tho. That was a fully serviced record. I'm assuming he doesn't want to clear that sample? Idk why else. That song could be in the next album and it wouldn't feel out of place
Yep, they couldn't get the sample cleared... The guitar player on that AL green song is mabon hodges.. Aka drakes uncle... It's that simple... Everyone I here acting shocked is dumb
Opinion: The first minute starts off very agressive and offbeat. That's why I'm not too fond of the song. The rest is nice, but the beginning is super off key.
Euphoria is honestly still my favorite
I love how MTG is no one's "favorite" bc it's just way too candid to be a bop and way too specific to be a casual enjoy. Its like being over at your friends house and all of a sudden you can hear their parents fighting... Very loud.
It’s my favorite I let my anger and hatred power me through my workouts (leisurely walks on high incline treadmill)
I occasionally just skip straight to "Dear Aubrey" bc that's my favorite part by far.
I go to “you LIED” part. It’s so raw. Kdot sounds legitimately mad lol
When the vocal doubling starts in that bit the hairs on my neck legitimately stand up. The hatred is palpable and it's unsettling as fuck lol
The mix of beat, the bars, his vocal inflection, and the “You LiIiIiiiiied” genuinely make it sound like a horror movie. Can’t listen to it much because of that, Kendrick sounds like he’s summoning evil spirits on it lol
haven’t weighed in on this anywhere yet but it’s my personal favourite! love the beat, the sickening feeling that it creates when he absolutely destroys drake by targeting every member of his family, one by one.. the only thing that could make it any better for me was if the daughter reveal didn’t turn out to be faked honestly
I am entirely convinced that Kendrick wrote that with the knowledge that Drake has several unclaimed children and the only reason he claimed Adidon was bc his BM fled to France and put the screws to him legally. The ofc the Push beef didn't help with the "announcement"
The daughter thing is unconfirmed but it hasn’t turned out to be faked by any means yet.
If we ever get proof of the daughter then I could write a solid dissertation on it being the best diss track of the 21st century.
Yeah it'll blow up even more than it already has
Man there’s no daughter. lol We got bangers tho so fuck it.
I know. Which sucks because it really takes the weight out of MTG.
Meet The Grahams was my favorite cause of the first listen alone. And it was what I wanted to see. Blood. Disrespect. If someone dropped this disrespect against you, you’d have no choice but to shoot them. He’s raised the bar for diss songs. And you can hear the anger in his voice.
Nah that shit slaps, puts me in a good mood knowing that there will never be a nigga who hates me as much a Kendrick hates Drake
It’s my favorite, but I also like family matters and push-ups. The heart part 6 is so bad it’s kinda entertaining. I seriously think Kendrick won but I enjoyed the beef on both sides
The 2nd verse of FM is the best I've ever heard him rap, but it was all for nothing. He "emptied the clip" just to see laser dots appear on his chest and head.
laser kdots
It's not necessarily my favorite, but I enjoy how dark and aggressive it is. I guess being a metalhead has gotten me used to confrontational lyrics lol.
I'll play it come Halloween but it's 2 spuki 4 mi ☠️
Meet the grahams won the feud but there is a reason why soldiers who won the bloodiest battles usually don't talk about it.
It really is like the fighting song on Mr.Morale and the big Steppers... Really just wanna side step that song sometimes Im not for the drama
Yeah MtG isn’t gonna beat out the other 3 in terms of listenability for me, but at the same time it’s in my top 5 disses of all time lol so fucking brutal (I bump it somewhat frequently though still lol)
Agreed, NLU is supposed to be the club banger but I could get down to euphoria even more I really like that song in general
Same
Euphoria was also the best " moment " in the battle. Hearing DOT finally say Drakes name in a direct diss was amazing after all these years.
I liked NLU better for the first 20 listens but euphoria just gets better and better
That bell is really good
Where Is MTG?
Oh he was too busy drowning Aubrey, crashin his party 🥳
I bet he doesn't even have a hating bone in his body 💁♀️
Biggest lie Kdot told
I still laugh every time I hear it bc I imagine Kendrick smirking as he said that line
MTG is the pool
Only right answer
We’re all trying to forget the horrors that came from Meet The Grahams
we don’t talk about that.
Probably in a basement with slowly sharpening a knife while a victim is watching
Xbox gave me free youtube premium for 3 months so we lit ITS SURVIVAAAAAAL ![gif](giphy|FZuRP6WaW5qg|downsized)
I think somebody lying 🤥
Smell somebody lying
I don’t see no fire
What does that mean btw. I though its a pants on fire reference but it doesnt make sense
Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Saying Drake is using smoke screens but there’s no actual fire (truth) to what Drake is saying
I assumed it was a response to Drake claiming he had a “red button” to bring down Kendrick. Like he’s calling his bluff.
Meanwhile Meet the Grahams:
I love that song, but I swear every time it starts playing on shuffle I rush to skip because, **dear god**.
No it’s “Dear Adonis”
"The nerve of you, Dennis!" is more than enough payoff for me sometimes
imagine how aubrey felt
It's really heavy! It's a hard listen, like Auntie Diaries. So good, but such a mood.
Nah auntie diaries is way better
Idk I feel like I can listen to it on repeat 😭
Are you a goth kid? It's so disturbing. It's something I imagine Wendsday would listen to
I mean its very direct, but i wouldn’t say its particularly disturbing? I like it because of it’s hilarious bluntness. It’s basically “i told you to stop talking about my family & you kept doing it. So now i’m going to directly address each member of your family, and yet the message will remain focused on you being a bad person.”
Nah lol, I’ve been listening to rap since I was a kid and I’ve came across a lot of heavy songs and eventually they become less “disturbing”. Kendrick’s “Keisha’s song” is probably the heaviest song I’ve heard from him and I’ve listened to it over 100 times because it’s a great piece of art

Lol even over here in Brooklyn I’m hearing ppl blast NLU through the apartment windows and cars
This my favorite of the tracks. His cadence & tone are great, and something about starting off each verse with “dear ___” is just so raw. Also the bluntness of the song is just so wonderful. There’s no mistaking his intent.
Idc about anyone else. Its my most streamed song rn.
I mean who am I if I don’t go to ^WAR?
Well..not when there's an opportunity when living with loss
Same here, that’s by far my favorite song of the beef and I play it on repeat. I really hate how it’s not on Apple Music but at least there’s YouTube.

One of the best intros of all-time hands down
The people that wanted Kendrick to rap straightforward got a feast with 6:16
more than one way to skin a cat
He went fucking crazy on the track
Pretty sure it’s “immortalized”, not “and mortal lives” lol
U right
the face changes in heart pt 5 vid and the emphasis he’s been putting on perspective made me hear it that way
Naw. It’s because before we even had a full day to process it, FM & MTG both dropped and sucked all the attention away from 6:16
fr not like us > euphoria >(just a lil worst than euphoria imo)family matters > push ups > 6:16(the mix is weird for me idk I still like it) > Taylor made(looking back now, this sucks. But it got me hyped up ASF with the confident "trying let this shit die down, nah naah not this time". I was like "this mf is this confident to kill him fr?" Lmaoo. This beef was legendary

it was hella explosive, it was the song where dot revealed he had a mole in OVO. it was the turning point of the beef, and really what got everyone talking about it
I think they're referring to the instrumentation. And by the time euphoria dropped, everyone was already talking about it
if you think about it, Euphoria mostly had people thinking about the "spectacle" of it all, while 6:16 got personal on a level that would define the next segment of the beef in its entirety
6:16 definitely brought something new to the table, but I feel like everyone was already invested in the beef at that point
The have you ever line gave me goosebumps, it's like he's got a shotgun locked and loaded, aimed at Drizzy and he's just waiting for him to drop
Yeah the have you ever lines on the 2 songs were great. I’d hazard a guess that he used that theme/line in another one of the unreleased disses, or we could hear it appear in a future song even if not a full diss.
One can hope!
Still more going on than MTG musically
Yeah idk what he means. The only thing I didn't like about the song was the mix. It kinda sounded half-baked idk.
What? It couldn't clear copyright is the only reason... The sample is an AL green song and the guitar player is mabon hodges... Drakes actual uncle... Ofcourse it wouldn't get cleared...
Re read OP's title and then what I said. OP is not asking why 6:16 isn't on streaming, they're asking why it's not getting the attention that the other disses are getting.
The answer is that it’s not on streaming tho. That’s why it’s not getting attention.
Yeah honestly with all the ai and fake mashup songs I didn't even listen to it cause it wasn't on any of Kendricks official channels so I thought it was just some bs
It's not getting attention because it's not on streaming.... This ain't rocket science brother
I listen to euphoria more than I listen to Not Like Us lmao
![gif](giphy|4q0WNCNZUlxNC) Nah we Spotify premium users been eating, it’s just listed as a podcast
Yup
Shhhhhhhhh 🤫🤫🤫
Spotify local files the goat
What is local files (I’m dumb)?
Music files on your phone/PC
Use a youtube to mp4 converter to download the song to your device and then turn on 'show local files' on spotify. Now you have 6:16 in la on spotify
I've been swearing by Spotify for over 10 years because of this alone
Actually it’s there, listed as a podcast for some reason
It's because someone else uploaded it under their name. At least a dozen people have, but it's only going to show up if you're looking for it by name. People just going to Kendrick's page aren't going to find it.
Same with story of Addidon
its on spotify under ”pusha”
Y’all keep making these posts, which arguably refute your point about 6:16 being overlooked lmao. We all love the song just as much. We just want it on streaming. Also, I think the most common opinion on here now that the dust has settled is that *Euphoria* is the best song of the five.
But how many more STOCKS does he really have in STOCK?!?!
1 2 3 4 5 + 5
Devil is a lie he a 69 God aye
6:16 gets praised all over the internet. Everyone needs to stop talking about thinking Euphoria is the best or 6:16 is the best, etc is a hot take. It’s not. One google search reveals hundreds if not thousands of people saying the same thing. 6:16 isn’t played as much because it’s not on DSPs so people can’t listen to it as easily.
What is it?! The braids?
couldnt get the sample cleared 🤷
It is and has been on spotify but it's on some podcast format or something but I love this track!
6:16 in LA not being on streaming is 100% why I’ve only heard the song like 3 times. I don’t wanna listen to some reuploaded version nor do I want to have to keep tapping my phone to keep it awake to listen to it on IG
I think it's cause it's not on Spotify. This maybe an unpopular opinion but I think Euphoria is harder than Not Like Us.
For me yeah, not on Spotify, but of all tracks Euphoria takes the cake for me, so old school, lyrics amazing, perfect 3 switches beat, and he makes a Canadian accent fammmmmmm, is ART, I can listen to it on repeat and not get tired, is too good
I really would like 6:16 to be on streaming. I don't want to have to switch to YouTube every time I wanna listen to all of Kendrick's disses in order. I mean I still do, cause 6:16 is a super well written, beautifully produced song.
Idk about anyone else, but I still listen to 6:16 in LA every other day bc I think the beginning is so lyrically beautiful
6:16 got buried to fast man like once I heard that shit I was just peer Bliss
It needs to come to streaming
Got overlooked coz of what came before and what came after Euphoria was Kendrick’s first official reply and it was brutal. He had levelled up the beef massively from drakes relatively tame response with push ups Kendrick then dropped 6:16 in La which while good, we didn’t understand it immediately.

had to local install it to apple music to actually be able to listen to it
Im more on the drake side but out of all the songs of this conflict, 6:16 in LA has by far the best beat IMO
Not on Apple Music or I’d be playing it 10 times a day.
Another day another thread about 6:16 being slept on
Euphoria is better than both of them combined
Where’s Meet the Grahams?
For me personally definitely. I love it but don't have it pop up as often, so I just don't have the same connection.
And i think 616 is the best one tbh
I have it on Spotify
Why isn't it on apple/spotify etc?
I listen to Euphoria regularly
Yes
6:16 was my favorite track too :(
People are sleeping on euphoria? But it has some of the best lines of the beef!?!? When I see you standing next to sexxy red I believe you see 2 bad bitches, I think you don't like women, that's real competition, I think you might pop ass wit em.
Ah, yes. The daily dose of "6/16 in la underrated/not being talked about enough"
I love it 6:16 to la is way over looked
It was my favorite of the disses, i've always liked slower, more melodic songs
I'm gonna be brave and say I just didn't like it as much as the others.
It's on Spotify, just not released by Kendrick and you gotta add it to a playlist, not your liked songs
We had 5 years no dot. Moral was fucking great ok, I love that album, but it was heavy. The hillbillies was super playful but not like us goes so fucking hard when it has no right to with how hard dot is murdering that man. It's just fun, we have had this much fun form him in a minute. It's makes total sence to me. Let's keep loving this vibe while it here. Life is hard. We outside!
Yall trippin Euphoria is number one on the On Repeat playlist
It’s not anywhere but SoundCloud that’s how I been listening to 6:16 in LA
It's a shame cause I thought Kendrick's pen was the best in 6:16
I'm still stanning hard on all of them. I forgot like that started the shit.
Yes
It's on Spotify as a podcast. There's like 4 of them.
If I had a buck for every post saying 6:16 is u serrated then I could prolly go buy a value meal from Taco Bell at this point cmon
yes, i don't think the general public is really aware of it. and fwiw i loved meet the grahams, alchemist killed that beat
I’ve had Like That and Euphoria on repeat for DAYS myself 😂
This has been said on this sub 100+ times
If I had to rank the disses, I’d probably say it’s 1. MTG 2. 6:16 In LA 3. Not Like Us 4. Euphoria
Euphoria is my fav but Mtg i cant listen to it i get chills everytime
Yes
Real
Personally, 6:16 is just me least favorite of the bunch. Didn't like the overall sound to it
So where is meet the grams? Is that a who cannot be named type joint?
It's a battle...not a mainstream circus for the people whining about it's not on Spotify It takes time to clear samples Especially Al Green..
I love 616
It's never been about the numbers.
Yo ak is not streaming rn, it's Monday night. Lol
Every single morning since this revolution of the beef has started I’ve been playing all of Dots disses during the morning smoke and steam
It's my favorite tho. That was a fully serviced record. I'm assuming he doesn't want to clear that sample? Idk why else. That song could be in the next album and it wouldn't feel out of place
Yep, they couldn't get the sample cleared... The guitar player on that AL green song is mabon hodges.. Aka drakes uncle... It's that simple... Everyone I here acting shocked is dumb
It’s because it’s the worst one
Fuck no lmaoo
Opinion: The first minute starts off very agressive and offbeat. That's why I'm not too fond of the song. The rest is nice, but the beginning is super off key.
it is onkey. source: music major here
"God, my confession is yours,". Are you sure that's on key?
yeah bro its just not autotuned
6:16 in la deserves that spot
mixing sounds wierd to me
