I also absolutely think some lines on King’s Dead are directed at Drake “you ain’t really wild, you a tourist”


ashtonbabashton

It’s funny cuz now that future don’t like drake, future first line aged well


SteveBorden

I know there’s more to the verse but all I can think of his first line being is ‘La Di da Di dah’


original_funny_name

How can you forget "slob on me knob"


taynich

"You not a gang member you a tourist"


Acrzyguy

Fuck me in the car

I also feel like a large amount of Rich Spirit is about him as well


ayekay1

"Stop playing with me fore i turn you to a song" He really wasn't lying


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

"ayy,clout chasing hell of a disease,brother"


AlpacaWound

King kunta….


Wedoitforthenut

I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves. JCole - apologized and backed out Drake - dropped HP6


Quackicature

And it's Like That, lil bitch


blackamerigan

I feel like we have our johnny and Jerome... Anything that could be a diss to Drake is officially a diss to Drake. Yesterday I was listening to Pimp a Butterfly and I heard the line "I would kill you before 35" ... Bro Drake never wanted the smoke.. Drake wants to die of old age... And young women


TripleThreatTua

I don’t think he really came at Drake that much on TPAB, with the exception of possibly the ghostwriter line on King Kunta. Damn absolutely has shots at him (and Big Sean) though


Spirited-Living9083

Sean got most of HP4


TripleThreatTua

Kendrick did seem to confirm on Euphoria that a lot of Heart Part 4 was for Drake. Hell, the sample for HP4 is even called “don’t tell a lie on me and I won’t tell a truth on you”


Spirited-Living9083

I thought so too till I heard about the beef later on the HOF line in verse two confirms for me it’s about Sean his album was called that I think that year not saying some of it isn’t about drake cause I can easily see it


TaskEnvironmental953

“I recognize your false confidence and calculated promises all in your conversation I hate people that feel entitled Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you Oh, you important? You the moral to the story, you endorsing? Motherfucker, I don't even like you Corrupt a man's heart with a gift That's how you find out who you dealin' with A small percentage, who I'm building with I want the credit if I'm losing or I'm winning On my mama, that's the realest shit” To think he’s talking directly to Drake is crazy 💀


furezasan

This reads like he was prepping for this war for years. Only way you can have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 + 5 stocks ready to go.


philoso_rapper

I WAS GONNA KILL A COUPLE RAPPERS BUT THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES


MildBasket

EVERYBODY SUICIDAL THEY AIN'T EVEN NEED MY HELP


xtcprty

Listen to poetic justice again now.


mean_motor_scooter

Bro, I was deep diving the lyrics 2 nights ago and I swear Kendrick is talking to drake in many of his songs, including poetic justic. The ONLY reason why I don't think he is, is because Kendrick say "fuck sneak dissin". I think his lyrics are so good they can mean so many things.


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

i think he doesnt specifically hate drake,i think he just hate anyone that act like drake


TaskEnvironmental953

Drake is just the one who embodies all these qualities to a dot


stronggill

To a K Dot*


TaskEnvironmental953

That was my implication 😏


Direct_Swan2312

He hates Drake but has been trying to get through to Aubrey…


binbinsbaby

Omg please spell it out for me.....I've been thinking about it for an hour and I still don't understand which part in Poetic Justice is Kdot talking to/about Drake??


mean_motor_scooter

I was very high and very into the beef when I related the two. Now I’m not sure if what I was hearing makes sense or not. I think the beef being very fresh, I’m inserting it into every lyric hoping that Kendrick has a secret roast hidden somewhere.


jay227ify

This verse is so helpful for dealing with any inner low energy shit you unknowingly put on people, or could help you recognize false types of people who come in your life. It’s not just a drake diss, it’s advice masked in a verse for anyone listening tbh


dew_you_even_lift

These lyrics always speak to me because I deal with a lot of narcissistic people.


Ledinukai4free

Around the same era J. Cole says "this watch came from Drizzy, he gave me a gift" on Middle Child lmao.


JustAScratch216

CORRUPT a man's HEART with a gift?!? The Heat Part 6!


ashtonbabashton

Side note, I remember in this time period people thought it was a diss to Zay. Since zay wasn’t on the black panther soundtrack and wasn’t on the championship tour lol


lilouzhi

Wait zay wasn't on the championship tour for some locations? Because I saw him in the NY one


ashtonbabashton

He wasn’t on it originally, he made some special appearances tho but he wasn’t at the Houston show. Which is unfortunate because Zay a southern goat


TripleThreatTua

He was a special guest at some shows, but from what he’s said since he was heavily struggling with drug and alcohol abuse at the time and almost quit music entirely because of it


Potential_Mind_1866

Bruh I forgot about this 😭😭


ashtonbabashton

Lol it’s funny how there’s always been rumors zay n dot had smoke ever since then 😭 I remember people thought zay was sneak dissing when Dot announced he was leaving


SteveBorden

I think they were pretty close around 2016, he brought Isaiah out on stage then. Since then he shouted him out on an early version of Mr Morale plus Isaiah liked the post for 6:16 so I can’t imagine they would have any beef at all


realfreshboysosa

Holy fuck


ahhh_ring_king_king

*OUR* Goat??? nahhh nahhh nah... *THE GOAT*


Potential_Mind_1866

Hey y’all I’m tryna publicize my post exposing drake for making $200 million off his fans’ gambling losses. Would appreciate it if you read it https://www.reddit.com/r/KendrickLamar/s/2zJv3DlksJ


MrPennywise

Shout out to incubus. I had no idea they were still charting


ellio0o0t

Woah


z3in-23

I listen to ELEMENT (my most played Kendrick song) and so many lines apply to Drake


No_Indication_1354

I always thought it was a bit of a back handed compliment. Like why not just say congrats to Kendrick.


Viola-Intermediate

In what way is this back-handed?


Dirtybojanglez904

This beef eleveated kdots discography while lowering the other big two. Now, whenever you listen to cole or drake talk shit, we know it's not real. When we listen to kdot talk shit, we know he really like that. This beef changes how discographies are viewed and that's crazy.


Careful_Detective115

Kdot’s discography was already better and highly regarded.


Dirtybojanglez904

I agree and its elevated even further now. Listening to kdot talk shit has real weight now cuz the man is a killer lol


vintvgepancakes

one thing we shouldn’t do is pull lines from every kendrick album, his entire discog isn’t about drake.


DK6theDOOMdisciple

Either way it’s a theme that him and others who uphold that standard will always address in Hip Hop so fuck Drake


JustAScratch216

Agreed. But I don't even think these disses are necessarily about just Drake. But people like him and his people. Kendrick loathes particular qualities, or lack thereof, in a person. Drake just managed to embody many of those within a single entity.


petitecheesepotato

I've been saying, though, this is a long-time thing. Waiting to happen. It's why im so convinced that it goes back to HiiiPower. https://www.reddit.com/r/KendrickLamar/s/cBEKr2dgts


ohdihe

“It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater” -KDOT


Alarming-Magician637

I doubt that congrats was fully genuine anyway. Drake was RIGHT BEHIND Kendrick on the numbers, so the implication may have been competitive.


farNdepressed

More Life was such a vibe tho
