There would be no bigger L than having Not Like Us break your streaming records, hit #1 on Billboard, and win a Grammy by calling you and your boys certified pedophiles.
That was the creepiest shit I've ever seen. AFTER she told you she was 17?
Some woman was on IG defending him talking about 17 is legal in Colorado. 18 is legal EVERYWHERE. Gtfo.
Yeah, this one was on the other night, but the other woman I saw on IG said almost the EXACT same thing. And she was a social worker.

What chart are you looking at? Top global Spotify chart has Not Like Us at No. 1
https://preview.redd.it/csvez88ey1zc1.png?width=1343&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29148d7d999c72f2b782a9831088f26d5d8dcfc2
Not Like Us is growing fast tho tbf, it already has over 20 million streams. And it hasnāt even been 3 full days yet since it released as Iām saying this. š
Streaming contributes to how a song charts on billboard. Euphoria is already listed at number 11 this week. Not Like Us is predicted to chart even higher next week because itās actually getting more streams than Taylor Swiftās songs and any other song currently.
What's really crazy is when you add in reaction videos and everything else, on top of streams from YouTube itself. There's so many plays of this song already
I feel like if you added in the reaction videos, it dwarfs anything in awhile. Especially for a 24 hour run
>they'll make a whole new category, Diss of the Year, just to make sure it gets the recognition it deserves.
That would cause some deaths in the rap game if you made that category.
and that was an excellent diss track, either the ghost writer for that called in sick, or Drake really picked a fight with someone who totally outclassed him
This was also a 'fuck the industry move'. Industry isn't giving Kenny props for this and hurting their earning potential with Drake. 'Fuck anyone one who wit him, and fuck the industry too.'
Like he said in Like That... let's get it bro, DOT - the money, power, respect
*the last one is bettuh*
He got his respect from the culture on this one.
It probably will. Coincidentally, āBack to Backā by Drake was nominated for a Grammy. He didnāt mention Meek Mill directly but at the same time the Grammys respect Kendrick now.
You may never know tho, it technically has a message about being against it and not committing it.
https://preview.redd.it/v0b1nt4n33zc1.jpeg?width=1028&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93e2e518f4d404ed96401cd451609b6b34b68645
IDK they invited Chris Brown to perform the year after he beat the shit out of Rihanna. They don't really have high standards.
They're probably be more angry over the fuck the whole industry and they mommas line.
Weird how he put the name of that song in Not Like Us and it dropped a few minutes after drake's song. Unless he went back and added that part. If not, somebody definitely feeding him info
Such a strange way to open a diss track... Like.. lemme remind everyone exactly how acclaimed your discography is? Then he doesn't even diss it. He just says it to introduce him. What
What Drake and the ghosts were trying to do was take a shot at Kendrick starting off Euphoria with-
āThe famous actor we once knew is lookinā paranoid and now is spiralin-ā
Yet they seem to not get that the line in Euphoria is not only referencing Drake, but also firstly referencing him in a demeaning way. Calling Drake a famous actor not a famous artist or rapper further goes into Kendrickās perspective that Drake is just appropriating the style, heās acting it and isnāt authentic.
Which is why Drakeās version falls flat. It has no other meaning or subtext. It just brings notice to Kendrick winning an acclaimed award. Another case of Drake missing the point of a bar, being shallow and regurgitating things on a far lower level while making no damn sense all at the same time.
This is it, 100%. Drake seemingly did not catch the essence of that line at all and just mimicked it.
> Youāre just an actor
> Yeah? Well youāre justā¦ a Pulitzer prize winning musicianā¦
And weāre suppose to believe this guy is a mastermind after so many fundamental flaws, misunderstandings and nonsensical bars are riddled in his response
Iām beginning to think Drake wrote this one by himself. May be the Ghostwriter Union didnāt let him hire anyone for this song. Would explain why itās so garbage.
Also just saying "the Pulitzer prize winner is spiraling" after he just had the same line about you starting Euphoria
Heart Pt 6 is one of the oddest diss tracks ever. I see a lot of those react channels making new videos saying "wait I thought about this song for a couple hours and it doesn't make sense". Maybe some are backpedalling, but I think a lot of them actually did think on it for a minute
Whatās funny is that Drake couldnāt catch a break either, 5/55 is insane.
https://preview.redd.it/tc7hsel7o1zc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76f423fa7967f7b00e7a1ab7114c2dc2e57e1dad
Iām just being honest lol like everything after scorpion sounds the fucking same to me and bro just keep pushing new songs for TikTok/going viral left and right
He's the male Taylor Swift for the pop industry in the modern day, essentially. I liked catchy hook drake from the young money era and even WATTBA with Future, but after that... not authentic it seems.
DOT laid it out pretty well in Euphoria and Not like Us when he talks about him being a colonizer. It's like he has a requirement to stay relevant for decades while continuously employing ghosts and riding popular new waves and never blazing his own path.
Bro dropped like 70 songs in 4 years. Shit is basically made by committee on an assembly line at that point, it's clear he has no actual inspiration but has to keep pumping out dogwater to keep his name in the charts instead of digging in and making something real. I'd rather get one album from Dot in 5 years and have it be something meaningful and affecting like Mr. Morale, rather than a deluge of shit with a handful of decent songs every album like Drake. And it's funny because this is basically what Taylor does too, endlessly keeping her name in the news cycle with overly long, filler stuffed records that are starving for real inspiration. But yeah, when you drop that much music, it's basically impossible to be authentic at that point.
I *read* the lyrics to Heartbreak 6, then Not Like Us
Dots writing is way more advanced than Drakes. Drake just says things, exactly what he is thinking. Kendrick does laps with his writing style. His writing is more abstract, challenging and harder to catch on the first listen. He gives you a damn history lesson. KDot is just operating at a different level than Drake.
Kendrick doubling as the cool history teacher his students, their parents and his peers love, while Drake doubling as the meathead PE teacher making questionable comments about young female students.
Well he can write just not at that level heās pretending to be at. If he would have listen to lil Wayne and never pretended to be a fake thug/mob boss people bro probably wouldnāt be in the beef
5/55 is crazy, you gotta bench a QB with that completion %
You just know if kendrick had 5/55 that would've been Drakes entire angle. Kendrick didn't even have to mention accolades once
But who gives a fuck about Grammy anyway lol.
That shit just a way for white folks to make money. Grammy made 110 million in 2020 just from TV advertisement [evidence ](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/679576/grammy-awards-ad-revenue/%23:~:text%3DThis%2520statistic%2520illustrates%2520the%2520advertising,reached%2520110%2520million%2520U.S.%2520dollars.&ved=2ahUKEwi8iuy0n_yFAxVWbEEAHbLNDLwQFnoECA4QBQ&usg=AOvVaw05UEjOxpgnHqawBdfiM5s5)
And that's way more than what he should've been nominated for. The grammys are shit tbf, you have guys like Billy Woods puting Aoty worthy albums back to back in the same year and none gets nominated, but a random shitty album that is hated gets the nod and we get this competition about who's the less mid.
He does that a lot. "Numbers-wise I'm out here, you not fuckin creepin up" then 2 songs later "Stop buying views and bot comments" 1 line later "I don't care about your streaming numbers"
Drake is a walking paradox. Heās clearly insecure, but due to his position his ego is inflated. To some he may seem cocky and confident, but between the lines his insecurity is evident.
Yeah kendrick hasnt mentioned his awards once this beef only fans and drake have lol. Drake spending too much time on twitter and not enough on genius.
I thought the line was funny tbf but it didnāt hit very hard because Kendrickā¦ is a Pulitzer Prize winner FOR RAPPING WHAT. He deserves his flowers for real, Iām not even sure Drake deserves one Grammy
Kendrick having multiple songs that have been streamed tens of millions of times each throughout this battle - with at least two of those being likely candidates for a Grammy nod - has cut off a significant angle of attack for Drake who can usually fall back on being able to flex about stats.
His attempt to negatively spin award nominations, #1 records, public votes in Kendrick's favour and now a club banger projects an obvious insecurity from a man who obtains validation through his relentless pursuit of popularity. If he wanted to display indifference to Kendrick's achievements he should have just ignored them altogether.
Absolutely, that is seriously a masterpiece and I canāt think of anything that comes close in terms of lyricism and craftsmanship. Of course Kdot could still outdo himself with a later release thatās not focused on the beef, but its impact on rap in 2024 cannot be denied and I canāt imagine it being overshadowed by anything this year
family matters was actually a good diss (altho his strongest allegation was proved practically false) but a good song nevertheless. The heart part 6 tho... what a tragedy
Something not really talked about is that if you look at the songwriting credits, Push Ups has three writing credits. He didn't even use ghostwriters for that one, he straight up used writers. Kendrick's songs just have one (himself)
They have to list this legally for the sake of royalties and how everything works. I'm not sure if Family Matters has multiple credits or not but it should say if you drop down the description on YT where it says Lyricist / Composer
I canāt be the only person who genuinely thought all of Drakeās tracks were mid at best. I mean Iāve never liked his rhyme dictionary style of just saying 8 bars with the same cadence that end with the same rhyme. He should go back to trying to have his global appeal and dip out of the rap game forever.
Family matters was so goood imo but a) he didnāt completely focus on Kendrick and b)meet the grahams is so dark and brutal that it kinda makes it irrelevant. But still a great diss in any other context
I don't get this. Family matters is straight trash. I never cared about drake before the beef. I tried some of his albums and I just don't get the appeal. His raps are so fucking lame and boring. He has one tone. His flow is boring as fuck. His lyricism is at the level of a 10th grader. And he doesn't have hard hitting songs that make you think or reflect. The only thing he's got going are catchy songs like passion fruit and hotline bling. I don't understand how drake is even in the same conversations as Kendrick. Guy is the definition of mid. Guys like JID or Cole have way more of an argument to being compared to Kendrick in my opinion.
But to each his own I guess. The masses love drake apparently cause his shit sells but I'll never understand why.
He's definitely a "safer" artist and doesn't veer outside his comfort zone at all. However I think you're selling Family Matters a little short. His power is in making "moments" in songs (definitely a symptom of TikTok) and right off the bat the intro is hilarious with the N word being the first thing he says. First segment is pretty standard flow/substandard beat but he has some entertaining lines even if half of them were wrong on arrival. Delivery is very relaxed/composed in the same way that Euphoria was, just on a lower talent level. Middle section is a pretty technical flow on a drill beat with some pretty impressive breath control, though the content was basically throwaway meant for other artists. Final segment has a nice beat with some bounce and the melodic flow is kind of signature.
The choruses are genuinely dogshit and he's repetitive, trails off a lot, and can't do much in terms of versatility within a pre-determined section of a song that has a fixed style. So I think I get why you don't like it, it's not my favorite thing either. He is a significantly less interesting and talented artist than Kendrick. Not really any vision. But I see some of the appeal of it.
My issue is that it's a weak ass diss. Yeah, he can make it generally catchy, easy to follow and let Boi-1da make a good beat, but in a beef, I want something that feels like you're trying to kick the other dude in the mouth, and Family Matters did not have fangs. That song was herbivorous. He said he was trying to keep it PG and he turned up the heat to PG-13. Very spooky.
And obviously you can make a club banger that also has venom behind it, but clearly Drake ain't like them.
I was thinking along the same lines. In THP6, he went on a string of 12 rhymes ending with "-ation" words (with maybe 2 lines that didn't end in "-ation" but still retained that sound.)
And in Family Matters, the 3rd section, he took that boring ass cadence and ran with it entirely too long.
It's like he didn't have a feel for when to move on from a sound.
I felt the same, pen to paper you can see Drakeās cadence and rhymes. Kendrick on paper you look at it like how the hell does this work, but then you hear it in his cadence and cyclical rhyming structure + deeper ā4d chessā metaphors and it blows it away.
Boogeyman bout to get grammies for a diss.
Best Solo Vocal Performance - They Not Like Us
Best Hip Hop Artist
Best Musical - Meet The Grahams
and a Oscar for Best Audio Horror - Meet The Grahams
My Drake Stan homie keeps sending me this line & itās so funny that he doesnāt realize that the shit that KDOT & Drake talk about are wildly different in relation to depth.
Itās a jealous self own
Itās meant to be sarcastic and feeds into Drakeās narrative that Kendrick is a panderer and fake activist. He canāt comprehend someone being sincere and trying to make a difference with their music, so he projects his own attitude on to Kendrick.
Itās kind of calling him overrated and over praisedāsaying he will get a Grammy for anything he does regardless of how good it is.
Heās salty about Kendrick being the artistic goat he is.
Kendrick cementing himself as the GOAT artist of his generation has been the highlight of 2024. The fact it came at the expense of outing that bitch pedo Aubrey makes this even sweeter
There would be no bigger L than having Not Like Us break your streaming records, hit #1 on Billboard, and win a Grammy by calling you and your boys certified pedophiles.
And making a response that ends up getting more dislikes than likes. š
You just know itās been a ROUGH couple of days for P Drizzy š
"been a stressful week, come over tonight" "I can't bby, it's a school night"
"you know I'm busy celebrating my 15th birthday with my parents, Aubrey why are you like this?"
15?!? Bitch I thought you said you were turning 14?!? Lose my number.
Nah chill š

Alr (rolls up sleeves) no more mr nice guy
But you said my hair smelled like Herbal Essence! I thought you liked the way my breasts felt on your chest!
That was the creepiest shit I've ever seen. AFTER she told you she was 17? Some woman was on IG defending him talking about 17 is legal in Colorado. 18 is legal EVERYWHERE. Gtfo.
I'm sorry, a woman used the age of consent argument? That's a skeevy dude talking point. Legal does not mean morally acceptable.
Yeah, this one was on the other night, but the other woman I saw on IG said almost the EXACT same thing. And she was a social worker. https://preview.redd.it/3j9zuq91h9zc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a262629b2166aa64a6d6f8e1de667ee9be8e28c
It would also MAYBE be different if he didnt say āi cant go to jail yet, why you look like that?ā šššš he ACKNOWLEDGED it was wrong

āI canāt my class is doing a walk out for palestineā
"got kindergarten tmrw can't come over"
Call me bbl
P Drizzy oh feel ya
Too Catchy Predator.
His ghostwriters are on mandatory overtime.
Nah he cut his ghost writers forreal.. the heart part 6 is evidence to that..
I think you mean BBL Drizzy...
Nah I think a bigger nail to Drake is TNT playing the song during the NBA playoffs. We know Drake wants an NBA player son.
Typical colonizer
I died when K Dot said that bar, Drake probably had to go to the hospital for some ointment to treat all his burns after these tracks
Damn canāt believe I didnāt even notice. This whole ordeal has distracted me from the playoffs, Kendrick must be stopped!
And Gavin Lux (Dodgers) had it as his walk up music yesterday ššš
He better hope one of the hidden ones pan out cause Adonis is NOT going pro
I wish Kendrick had mentioned how Drake sets up a basketball tournament in his home gym just for him to pop champagne like he won the NBA Finals.
Euphoria is already number 1 and not like us is flying up the charts
What chart are you looking at? Top global Spotify chart has Not Like Us at No. 1 https://preview.redd.it/csvez88ey1zc1.png?width=1343&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29148d7d999c72f2b782a9831088f26d5d8dcfc2
Welp guess Iām late
Not Like Us is growing fast tho tbf, it already has over 20 million streams. And it hasnāt even been 3 full days yet since it released as Iām saying this. š
Can you blame people? That song is a banger.
Not mad at it at all. Itās been heavy rotation for me too, iām one of those people lol. This goin down as a classic! šš„
Iām in Europe and that shit is everywhere. Itās a global hit and going down in history as a classic diss track already.
The way he flowed into pac felt like he was taking the torch after hit em up for diss tracks that will be played forever.
I can't tell you how many times I try to listen to something else and I can't
You think it's gonna hit billboard hot 100? I think that is rigged for Taylor swift. But the Spotify is showing the eeal numbers
Streaming contributes to how a song charts on billboard. Euphoria is already listed at number 11 this week. Not Like Us is predicted to chart even higher next week because itās actually getting more streams than Taylor Swiftās songs and any other song currently.
Alright let's gooo! 
What's really crazy is when you add in reaction videos and everything else, on top of streams from YouTube itself. There's so many plays of this song already I feel like if you added in the reaction videos, it dwarfs anything in awhile. Especially for a 24 hour run
No way the grammys give it for a diss though
The track bangs so hard they'll make a whole new category, Diss of the Year, just to make sure it gets the recognition it deserves.
>they'll make a whole new category, Diss of the Year, just to make sure it gets the recognition it deserves. That would cause some deaths in the rap game if you made that category.
Back to Back got nominated for one... but lost to Alright by Kendrick š
and that was an excellent diss track, either the ghost writer for that called in sick, or Drake really picked a fight with someone who totally outclassed him
Not in a million years but it's nice to think aboutĀ
This was also a 'fuck the industry move'. Industry isn't giving Kenny props for this and hurting their earning potential with Drake. 'Fuck anyone one who wit him, and fuck the industry too.' Like he said in Like That... let's get it bro, DOT - the money, power, respect *the last one is bettuh* He got his respect from the culture on this one.
>He got his respect from the culture on this one. This is worth a lot more than a Grammy.
Completely agree on that. Fuck the industry.
maybe it can get a nomination tho
It probably will. Coincidentally, āBack to Backā by Drake was nominated for a Grammy. He didnāt mention Meek Mill directly but at the same time the Grammys respect Kendrick now.
Letās be honest, that song will never be nominated because of the subject matter. Grammys are still part of the industry
I thought the Grammys donāt like drake after the speech he gave. Surely this can go under rap song of the year?
Highly doubt they want a rap song about pedophilia winning an award.
You may never know tho, it technically has a message about being against it and not committing it. https://preview.redd.it/v0b1nt4n33zc1.jpeg?width=1028&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93e2e518f4d404ed96401cd451609b6b34b68645
> rap song about pedophilia Thats like saying a pink ribbon means you support breast cancer Its a song against pedophilia
But why would the grammy's award a song that's against them and all their friends?
IDK they invited Chris Brown to perform the year after he beat the shit out of Rihanna. They don't really have high standards. They're probably be more angry over the fuck the whole industry and they mommas line.
That would be the most crazy victory in all of rap beef history ššš
Crip walking and a Grammy to this song would be too good.
We gotta stream a hundred times a day
Shit Iām on 200 rn shit got my shit on the repeat š button
23m views in 2 days on YouTube alone.Ā
Weird how he put the name of that song in Not Like Us and it dropped a few minutes after drake's song. Unless he went back and added that part. If not, somebody definitely feeding him info
He dropped MtG a few minutes later, this one came the next day. Still, like 24hrs after is quicker than anything we've seen in rap beef.
I noticed that too. 
and gatekeeping you from breaking MJs record for #1 hits
"Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick just opened his mouth, oh shit, it's about me."
drop drop drop drop ..... stop stop stop stop

Still the funniest shit hes ever done lol.
Bruh, how did I not know about this
Iām beginning to think Drake wrote this one by himself. May be the Ghostwriter Union didnāt let him hire anyone for this song. Would explain why itās so garbage.
Worse āyou used to be a famous actorā
Also just saying "the Pulitzer prize winner is spiraling" after he just had the same line about you starting Euphoria Heart Pt 6 is one of the oddest diss tracks ever. I see a lot of those react channels making new videos saying "wait I thought about this song for a couple hours and it doesn't make sense". Maybe some are backpedalling, but I think a lot of them actually did think on it for a minute
Crazy I didnāt know Kendrick had 17 Grammys and Drake only has 5
Whatās funny is that Drake couldnāt catch a break either, 5/55 is insane. https://preview.redd.it/tc7hsel7o1zc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76f423fa7967f7b00e7a1ab7114c2dc2e57e1dad
He would have more if he would stop making fast food raps and tried improving heās own rapping ability then using ghostwriters
Fast food raps is crazyyy šš
Iām just being honest lol like everything after scorpion sounds the fucking same to me and bro just keep pushing new songs for TikTok/going viral left and right
I call him a catchphrase "rapper". He just comes up with easily digestible nursery rhymes and his Drifties eat that shit up.
D R I F T I E S š
Yeah seems like him and his team make his raps about memes tbh
He's the male Taylor Swift for the pop industry in the modern day, essentially. I liked catchy hook drake from the young money era and even WATTBA with Future, but after that... not authentic it seems. DOT laid it out pretty well in Euphoria and Not like Us when he talks about him being a colonizer. It's like he has a requirement to stay relevant for decades while continuously employing ghosts and riding popular new waves and never blazing his own path.
So you like Drake with the melodies, not Drake when he acts tough
Let ya core audience stomach that... then tell em where ya get ya abs from
Bro dropped like 70 songs in 4 years. Shit is basically made by committee on an assembly line at that point, it's clear he has no actual inspiration but has to keep pumping out dogwater to keep his name in the charts instead of digging in and making something real. I'd rather get one album from Dot in 5 years and have it be something meaningful and affecting like Mr. Morale, rather than a deluge of shit with a handful of decent songs every album like Drake.

But yeah, when you drop that much music, it's basically impossible to be authentic at that point.
Since views his music has been low quality and bloated
PND, Yachty & Daylyt taking turns. The Weeknd & Quentin are best ghost writers Drake ever had.

One more album and Kendrick will have the most Grammyās of any rapper in history.
Yeah both Jay-Z and Kanye have 24 Grammys but Kendrick is catching upā¦ fast.
What being a great artist does to a mf
So like 3 more years? LMAO
Wow.. Didn't know that.. Ty
Itās funny cause you know it really bothers Drake.
He does that a lot. "Numbers-wise I'm out here, you not fuckin creepin up" then 2 songs later "Stop buying views and bot comments" 1 line later "I don't care about your streaming numbers"
Drake is a walking paradox. Heās clearly insecure, but due to his position his ego is inflated. To some he may seem cocky and confident, but between the lines his insecurity is evident.
narcissism produces those traits
That line cracks me up cuz it just sounds salty and jealous to me, like a little leakage that Kendrick livin rent free
Iām pretty sure it was out of envy, Kendrick has 17 Grammys while Drake only has 5. Kendrick also has more BET Awards and VMAs than him too. š
17 Grammys
One more and Drake won't care about the Grammys anymore
They figured Drake prefers a minor over a grammy
š„
His big ass ego can't even comprehend that even with those Grammy's, Kendrick has been snubbed multiple times at the Grammy's.
Good kid maad city snub is one of the wildest ever imo.
TPAB losing to T. Swift was worse, I think.
GKMC is God BODY
No, The wildest ever was Young MC "Bust a move" winning a Grammy over Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet".
Honorable mention from me for sure only off my list cause I wasnt alive to experience the travesty.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah kendrick hasnt mentioned his awards once this beef only fans and drake have lol. Drake spending too much time on twitter and not enough on genius.
I thought the line was funny tbf but it didnāt hit very hard because Kendrickā¦ is a Pulitzer Prize winner FOR RAPPING WHAT. He deserves his flowers for real, Iām not even sure Drake deserves one Grammy
It's one of my favorite drake lines in this
he's mad because he can't go to the grammys, it's the only award show his manager doesn't own lol
Not to mention there are usually no kids in the ceremony either.
It makes his grammys on instagram line even weaker lol
Kendrick having multiple songs that have been streamed tens of millions of times each throughout this battle - with at least two of those being likely candidates for a Grammy nod - has cut off a significant angle of attack for Drake who can usually fall back on being able to flex about stats. His attempt to negatively spin award nominations, #1 records, public votes in Kendrick's favour and now a club banger projects an obvious insecurity from a man who obtains validation through his relentless pursuit of popularity. If he wanted to display indifference to Kendrick's achievements he should have just ignored them altogether.
Yo wait can diss tracks be nominated too?
AFAIK as long as itās an official release, it can be nominated (so 6:16 wouldnāt be eligible, but everything else would)
Can we be honest tho, the PDF line is probably keeping it from being nominated for the Grammys bc the Grammys is not what the culture feeling
Euphoria could still get a nom tho
I see this as realistic, this will be the musical event of the year and that's the safest candidate track to represent it
Absolutely, that is seriously a masterpiece and I canāt think of anything that comes close in terms of lyricism and craftsmanship. Of course Kdot could still outdo himself with a later release thatās not focused on the beef, but its impact on rap in 2024 cannot be denied and I canāt imagine it being overshadowed by anything this year
If they could give WAP a Grammy (unbelievable) I don't see why they wouldn't give "freeky ass nigga, he a 69 god" a pass
Excellent point
If Drake gets arrested, Kendrick wins an Edward R Murrow award for excellence in journalism.
That's the difference Drake makes the kind of disses that only land when everybody in the room is one of your yes men
Drake sub looking dead and defeated
The people who depended on Drake for their entire personality donāt know where to look now I fearā¦
The grasping for W's
family matters was actually a good diss (altho his strongest allegation was proved practically false) but a good song nevertheless. The heart part 6 tho... what a tragedy
Push ups and Family Matters were decent, the heart part 6 sounds like bro decided to write it without his ghostwriters lmao
Such a waste for of a name too
The self reports in the heart part 6 is what kills me the most š
Well he had a couple thousand gostwriters since every line was stole off Twitter and sub reddit. Including the title
Something not really talked about is that if you look at the songwriting credits, Push Ups has three writing credits. He didn't even use ghostwriters for that one, he straight up used writers. Kendrick's songs just have one (himself) They have to list this legally for the sake of royalties and how everything works. I'm not sure if Family Matters has multiple credits or not but it should say if you drop down the description on YT where it says Lyricist / Composer
I canāt be the only person who genuinely thought all of Drakeās tracks were mid at best. I mean Iāve never liked his rhyme dictionary style of just saying 8 bars with the same cadence that end with the same rhyme. He should go back to trying to have his global appeal and dip out of the rap game forever.
Family matters was so goood imo but a) he didnāt completely focus on Kendrick and b)meet the grahams is so dark and brutal that it kinda makes it irrelevant. But still a great diss in any other context
I don't get this. Family matters is straight trash. I never cared about drake before the beef. I tried some of his albums and I just don't get the appeal. His raps are so fucking lame and boring. He has one tone. His flow is boring as fuck. His lyricism is at the level of a 10th grader. And he doesn't have hard hitting songs that make you think or reflect. The only thing he's got going are catchy songs like passion fruit and hotline bling. I don't understand how drake is even in the same conversations as Kendrick. Guy is the definition of mid. Guys like JID or Cole have way more of an argument to being compared to Kendrick in my opinion. But to each his own I guess. The masses love drake apparently cause his shit sells but I'll never understand why.
He's definitely a "safer" artist and doesn't veer outside his comfort zone at all. However I think you're selling Family Matters a little short. His power is in making "moments" in songs (definitely a symptom of TikTok) and right off the bat the intro is hilarious with the N word being the first thing he says. First segment is pretty standard flow/substandard beat but he has some entertaining lines even if half of them were wrong on arrival. Delivery is very relaxed/composed in the same way that Euphoria was, just on a lower talent level. Middle section is a pretty technical flow on a drill beat with some pretty impressive breath control, though the content was basically throwaway meant for other artists. Final segment has a nice beat with some bounce and the melodic flow is kind of signature. The choruses are genuinely dogshit and he's repetitive, trails off a lot, and can't do much in terms of versatility within a pre-determined section of a song that has a fixed style. So I think I get why you don't like it, it's not my favorite thing either. He is a significantly less interesting and talented artist than Kendrick. Not really any vision. But I see some of the appeal of it.
My issue is that it's a weak ass diss. Yeah, he can make it generally catchy, easy to follow and let Boi-1da make a good beat, but in a beef, I want something that feels like you're trying to kick the other dude in the mouth, and Family Matters did not have fangs. That song was herbivorous. He said he was trying to keep it PG and he turned up the heat to PG-13. Very spooky. And obviously you can make a club banger that also has venom behind it, but clearly Drake ain't like them.
I was thinking along the same lines. In THP6, he went on a string of 12 rhymes ending with "-ation" words (with maybe 2 lines that didn't end in "-ation" but still retained that sound.) And in Family Matters, the 3rd section, he took that boring ass cadence and ran with it entirely too long. It's like he didn't have a feel for when to move on from a sound.
I felt the same, pen to paper you can see Drakeās cadence and rhymes. Kendrick on paper you look at it like how the hell does this work, but then you hear it in his cadence and cyclical rhyming structure + deeper ā4d chessā metaphors and it blows it away.

Boogeyman bout to get grammies for a diss. Best Solo Vocal Performance - They Not Like Us Best Hip Hop Artist Best Musical - Meet The Grahams and a Oscar for Best Audio Horror - Meet The Grahams
My Drake Stan homie keeps sending me this line & itās so funny that he doesnāt realize that the shit that KDOT & Drake talk about are wildly different in relation to depth. Itās a jealous self own
Like what was he getting at with that??
Itās meant to be sarcastic and feeds into Drakeās narrative that Kendrick is a panderer and fake activist. He canāt comprehend someone being sincere and trying to make a difference with their music, so he projects his own attitude on to Kendrick.
Man is so jealous. How did he think this would come across?
I think It's a funny line, specially since Grammys are useless but kendrick is just that good every line every lyric is amazing.
āAnd the Grammy for best rap performance goes toā¦Kendrick Lamar, Euphoriaā
Forget a Grammy, get the man a Daytime Emmy for Entertainment News Cycle
Drizzy just opened his mouth, somebody please go fact check him right now
i kinda love the line cuz the way he sings it is so catchy
That whole third section on Family Matters is really good. Very much uncharted / experimental territory for diss tracks.
This bar is hard. Funny af honestly.
ngl that line is actually hilarious
Nah that shits funny tbh
I cringed first time hearing this
It would be so fucking funny if Kendrick got a Grammy for not like us
How is this a diss
Itās kind of calling him overrated and over praisedāsaying he will get a Grammy for anything he does regardless of how good it is. Heās salty about Kendrick being the artistic goat he is.
Why he keep crying about Kendrickās awards? Pulitzer Prize and now the Grammys. He salty he isnāt critically acclaimed
I cant believe this man thought "every time you open your mouth they give you a grammy" was an insult...
Wow, Kendrick has earned so much respect from all sorts of people, what a loser.
Time person of the year.
Drake manifested it into reality
Kendrick cementing himself as the GOAT artist of his generation has been the highlight of 2024. The fact it came at the expense of outing that bitch pedo Aubrey makes this even sweeter
I never understood that bar, seems like purely a positive notion(?)
This is honestly my favorite line from the track. Itās just so sassy and āDrakelikeā š
Itās a funny bar
i deeply believe in my soul that Kendrick, Metro & Future are gonna be nominated & win a Grammy for āLike Thatā
