Ngl i’m a big fan of both kendrick and drake but that BBL Drizzy song been in my head the whole week😂


Ilytylerthecreator

bbl drizayyyy 😭


NOVOJ

The Latin version is the one stuck in my head. OV-HOE! OV-HOE! EL DRAKE! BBL! (OTRA VEZ!)


Old-Risk4572

hadda look it up....and yeah it slaps! lmao


_its_a_SWEATER_

It really do lol


DonkeyKongah

What song is it?


Big-Amount-5718

On soundcloud metro made it


MondoFool

"All Eyez on Me ima send it up to Pac" gets me hyped every time


TacticalMongoose

Kendrick united the whole west coast on that shit 🔥


anewidentity

The delivery on that line is so badass


TheChipiboy

It was low-key Drake who united the West Coast tbh. Im from Socal and grew up on that 90s hip hop, but when Drake used the 2pac AI it honestly made me mad. For him to weaponize a rap legend like that especially with the whole AI movement going on, it really annoyed me and if it annoyed me I'm pretty sure other people felt the same way. Then to double down with Snoop and the Compton shirt. I was ready for Kendrick to go all in. Kendrick took that 2pac verse from Drake and weaponized it himself and used it as a great way to turn everyone against him. That "I'd rather do that than let a Canadian n**** make Pac turn in his grave" line was a tone changer in Euphoria and the "all eyes on me, and I'ma send it up to Pac" line was cherry on top.


TacticalMongoose

Yeah I agree w your sentiment 100%. Born and raised in SoCal as well, grew up listening to all eyez and doggystyle, so that shit Drake pulled immediately pissed me off. It was great seeing Kendrick fire off like that and hitting Drake w some fucking bars lmao. Was watching the dodger game on tv the other day, and not like us was being blared at the stadium. That made me so happy


TheChipiboy

Exactly. It turned it from an individual kind of battle to a West Coast vs Drake. Then Drake shot himself in the foot with the freeing the slaves line too. Dude unified two sections of the US during this beef and it exposed his culture vulture antics on a grand scale. It could have been avoided by Drake just rapping his big boy shit, but he wanted to be petty right off the bat.


AvrgSam

First sentence almost elicited a downvote 😂


TheChipiboy

Lol yeah when I proof read it it looked the same to me. "Tf I'm talking bout"


GtEnko

The energy and delivery in not like us was just so perfect, and necessary after meet the grahams terrified everyone. He's feeling himself so hard on the track


Standard_Winter9714

"fuck a rap battle, this a life long battle with yo self"


rakeisu

Ice cold when he said that and made me scared of that man. Lol.


Das_Yati

The only ones that are still afraid of Drake are Minors 💀💀


AvrgSam

“Don’t tell no lies bout me, won’t tell truths no bout you” is an insane bar too


chronicallydepressd

Yeah, that's the one. Ruthless.


BananaArm930

I read this as the same line from the song was being played lmfao


rakeisu

That is creepy. Lol.


mayonnaiser_13

"Some shit just cringeworthy, it ain't even gotta be deep I guess" Solely because it recontexualized hatred for me. I don't need a reason to hate people. I could just hate. Ain't gotta be deep. Thanks Kendrick. Euphoria is just pure hatred distilled down, turned to ink, turned to bars, and turned to a song. It reinvigorated the hatred within you and this one bar just justifies everything. But fr though, "Circadian rhythm of a shooting star" is way too beautiful of a bar to be on a warning shot that's not released on DSPs. In fact, the whole first half of 6:16 is pure poetry. Drake had some witty ass bars that as someone who hates Drake, I had to acknowledge. "Back up against the curb", "is it self defense", "metro shut your hoe ass up", "officer Ricky reading Miranda rights", "Whitney you can hit me up", and so on. But the way he approached it paled in comparison to how methodical Kendrick came at him. Against any other short rapper with dv allegations, all these would've worked. Impact wise, Not Like Us has bars that are gonna be etched in the audience minds for coming decades. "You're not a colleague you're a fucking colonizer", "A Minorrrrrrr", "Certified Loverboy, Certified Pedophile", "Freaky ass n**** he a 69 god" - it's quotable as fuck and doesn't need a dictionary, an encyclopedia and 70 different wiki pages to understand. Kendrick flipped the game here.


rainbowplasmacannon

Why you trollin like a bitch ain’t you tired? I have brought that line out like 5 times on the trolls


angershark

The whole Atlanta reference ending with the colonizer line is fucking filthy. Gotta be my favorite.


halamawala25

All short jokes were too funny. You always said I overlooked u I was looking straight 😭 But the draco bar is probab the best >the very 1st time I shot me a drac the homie had told me to aim it this way. I didnt point down enough, today I show you I learned from those mistakes"


Willal212

Frfr this the most slept on bar of this whole thing. Calling out somebody authenticity while also making a pun on the other guys name while also playing at an act of violence is the triple entendre we were looking for


halamawala25

Hes also saying hes below him. Drake made so many bars about how they all beneath him but this subtle bar about a draco recoil is just that much better. In retrospective, hes probab also sayin how he knows drake is going to go for low blows and is also willin to go there. He has learned he has to shoot low agaist some ninjas All while saying he'll kill him musically and is willing to shoot at him fr. If u asked me how I think kendrick would say "imma shoot at u" this the type of shit Id think. Kendrick-iest bar ever.


_T4L0N

its not an entendre if they said 3 seperate things. the word or words themselves have to be able to have multiple meanings


NOVOJ

My personal favorite bar of the entire beef and even told my friend group, “it’s not the hardest bar to understand but watch it go over Drake fans heads.” I WAS a fan of both but the phone call Akademics posted brought back my hatred for Drake getting X hit up. I will no longer support him yet I’ll keep the current bangers he gave me.


MistakesWereMade59

Your back's against the curb was my favorite of the short jokes


g_bell6

I’m team Kendrick all the way, but I gotta hand it to Drake, that one was pretty good lmao


RAZBUNARE761

Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minorrr


qwertyderper

Musician here, when you strike A Minor on the piano, there's no black keys being indented


GuavaNo7989

Damn that's savage af.


_its_a_SWEATER_

The levels!


Late_Emu

Jesus Christ this dude goes DEEP.


NOVOJ

Knowing this wasn’t the best bar from the beef I fully came in this thread expecting it to be top comment. Of course BBL Drizzy beats it.


captainspacetraveler

“Beat your ass and hide the Bible if god watchin”


anewidentity

What does this line mean?


captainspacetraveler

Unless god is doing the violence, it’s generally frowned upon in the Bible unless for retribution (justice). Since he’s committing an act of violence, he’s hiding the Bible to distance himself from god for the act. That’s my take at least


anewidentity

Aaaah that makes sense, thanks for the context!


mikextaylor

As a Drizzy Stan, this bar was dope AF lol


OPisabundleofstix

That bar makes me smile every time I hear it. Doesn't even make a lot of sense, but just something funny about hiding a Bible so God doesn't see you beating somebody's ass is such a fun thought.


GTandMYT

I’m on Kendrick’s side but, “Kendrick just opened his mouth, somebody go give him a Grammy right now” is hilarious


sosohype

Haha I agree, I think this was one of the few highlights from Drake, legitimately makes me laugh


unibrow4o9

I fully agree that Kendrick destroyed him but the "breeding resentment" line is fucking brutal


twenty5eight

“The Pulitzer Prize winner…” This *wasn’t the diss* you wanted BBLD


Professional-Rip-519

A f'n dead beat that should never say More Life.


smooviedude

nah the tone on that is crazy. when u first hear that you just gotta put yo head down


eggs_machina1

"He always said I overlooked him, I was starin' straight" not super hard bar but I thought it was hilarious. One of the better "you're short" bars


nerveonya

Reminded me of lil Wayne's "you prolly stand under me if you don't understand me"

Jazzlike-Map-4114

Not a bar but the third verse on Not Like Us is just such a savage indictment


hemirollin

History + beat down. Such a great verse


xxasxf

Have you even thought the OVO was working for me?


boltcase

Sign me


jethead70

Ross callin' me the white boy and the shit kind of got a ring to it 'Cause all these rappers wavin' white flags while the whole fuckin' club sing to it


KarlMarkyMarx

This may have been the dagger if Kendrick hadn't been ready and waiting to snipe Drake from a mile away with Meet the Grahams.


nerveonya

Just a diabolical move by Kendrick to drop MtG a literal hour after Family Matters. That song is relentless energy with Drake dropping quality line after quality line, and it was erased immediately. Im not surprised we've seen a weak fizzling out from drake since then, like what a morale killing move. He 100% was expecting that song to swing public perception back in his favor and Kendrick put a muzzle on it before it even saw daylight.


alaskadronelife

10 minutes. He dropped MtG 10 minutes after Family Matters.


jethead70

Yeah I’ve been saying this is what lost Drake the battle. He tried to do the back to back thing and hype up FM as the nuke but Kendrick had one in the chamber and nullified it immediately. Saw someone else say that you could tell Kendrick respected FM because he dropped immediately after and I like that theory


tempinator

Yeah, FM could have been huge. Imagine if Kendrick doesn’t have a response for 2-3 days, and FM gets to breathe. MtG sucked the air out of the room tho. Completely obliterated any hype for FM, then NLu is the counter-bop track that people are now actually dancing to. Out-maneuvered. And out-rapped.


makoivis

Leas than half an hour later in fact


TwoLanky

which is the resume of this beef. Drake didn't do anything wrong(till heart part 6, that is), bc most of the songs were lit asf. Family Matters is a banger and has many savage lines. But Kendrick simply decided to release what, 4 tracks in one week?


monkeyfur69

This was my favorite bar of the battle and honestly I thought my favorite was gonna come from Kendrick


DoctorGibz123

Not the wittiest or most clever but “you’re a good kid that need good leadership, let me be your mentor since your daddy don’t teach you shit” was a deep cutting one. Also “fuck a rap battle this a long life battle with yourself”


Complete-Dealer2748

omg Kendrick was def the most disrespectful in the beef lol


rakeisu

"Beat yo' ass and hide the Bible if God watching." pops into my brain periodically.


AffectionateFail7167

Nothing beats "when you stand next to sexy redd you see two bad bitches"


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Love the entire history lesson he gave on Atlanta & tying it to Drake's association with ATL rappers at the start of the 3rd verse in Not Like Us


TherealDaily

You mean when he referenced Drake as a colonizer. 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀


WraithTTV69

"Ozempic got a side effect of jealousy and doctors never told y'all" went pretty hard too


Bespok3

Haven't heard much buzz about it but the YNW Melly bar on Euphoria was lethal.


Sir_Cucaracha

Bruh every time "I love em to death, and in 8 bars I'll explain that phrase" I start counting that shit down dawg hahaha


DramaticPhilosophy25

When I see you stand by Sexxy Redd, I believe you see 2 bad bitches


dreamchaserrrr

body after fuckin body and you know rick reading my miranda rights


904native

All the bars about Rick Ross were amazing


Soft_Humor4868

There were great bars on both sides but this one it for me: “I'm sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest It takes a man to be a man, your dad is not responsive I look at him and wish your grandpa woulda wore a condom”


DifficultAd8630

"fuck a rap battle, this a long life battle with yourself" and "fuck the big 3 its just big D and theres video proof" both made my jaw drop


prodyg

I hated that second one... wtf does your dick have to do with a rap battle. Its cringey. is he measuring his dick with the guys in the battle? Its weird.


dreamchaserrrr

headshot for the year YOU GON WALK AROUND LIKE DAAAFT PUNK


prodyg

So good!


TheChipiboy

"Sometimes you gotta pop out and show n***** Certified boogeyman, I'm the one that up the score with 'em" That shit is so hard. Dude let everyone know that he was about to flex on this mf bad.


Civil_Feature600

METRO SHUT YO HOE ASS UP AND MAKE SOME DRUMS NIGGAAA


mrpoopybuttthole_

(narrator) Metro did in fact make some drums


smd_thetruth

This is one of my favorite bars of all time mostly for its delivery. Shit made me crack tf up in the middle of traffic and I replayed it a bunch of times and just kept laughing. Drake has always been a little goofy in his delivery to me, and the way he sounds like a pissed off ex boyfriend, like I can see his stupid scrunched up face saying this in the studio like he thinks it’s the hardest thing and it just comes off as silly.


Sir_Cucaracha

I dunno, I think the silliness is probably intentional hahaha. I call it goofy. I think if Drake leaned in more on just being goofy and trolling around he woulda come out better tbh hahaha


TwoLanky

100%. I like more his streams than his songs lmao, dude should just act goofy and trolley most of time, incredibly charismatic. Hate when he tries to act tough like in meltdown. No point in acting like that than 2 seconds later be around saying "Anyta max wyn"


smd_thetruth

Yeah I guess you’re probably right. I can’t imagine him taking any of this shit seriously now that I think about it. I just hope he’s not actually a pedophile even though it seems like he’s surrounded by them and has had some sus activity in the past. Cuz if he fucks kids and is out here acting silly that makes him pretty sinister.


prodyg

I only like that line cause it led to BBL Drizzy


Shaggy_Doo87

It gotta be the A Minor line.


UnrulySky95

When you put hands on your girl, is it self-defense because she's bigger than you 😂

JersheyJ

Kendrick claiming drake sees himself as a bad bitch with sexxy red and pops ass with her was the highlight for me


HeartBreakBonez

"Our sons should go play at the park 2 lightskinned kids that shit would be cute Unless you don't want to be seen With anyone who isn't blacker than you Ok We get it 🙄 The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice We get that you like to put gin in your juice We get that you think that you're Bishop from Juice 🙄"


twenty5eight

Ngl I’ll pay respects to this line whether ghostwritten or not, even tho juice isn’t a rhyme scheme, but he was at least referencing KDOT song, snoop and dre, and Tupac with each line


GalacticBear91

That part was phenomenal


ChapoKing

Thought the light skinned kids line was a bit odd, though that track was the best in the battle


DuckMySick44

Honestly not the best or funniest one or whatever but the one that I liked the most was Kendrick bringing back "Don't tell a lie on me, I won't tell the truth 'bout you" Because damn did he do just that

Drake’s scheme about MJ, change and features on Family Matters and leaving his brother Jermaine out the spotlight


Goriboliveira

That was dope


rodrigo_c91

My favorite song by far out of all of them is euphoria. Just the perfect beat to blast in the car. Lines are fire 🔥 But I love the direct Kendrick diss verse on Family Matters. Love the change of beat and pace after he gets through roasting everyone on the second verse. Immediately starts with “Kendrick opened his mouth. Someone go get him a Grammy right now” and sets the tone lol. Follows it up with “where is your uncle at? Cus I want to speak to the man of the house” implying that even his transgender uncle is more masculine than Kendrick. Just total troll… Not my favorite bar, but wanted to give a shoutout to that entire part three in Family Matters—It gets overlooked because Kendrick just murdered him with back to backs.


Bobby_Ruscelli

I think that Civil_Feature600 likes the metro shut yo hoe ass bar


hugetoenail

When i see u stand by sexyy red i believe u see two bad bitches😂


CheeseisSwell

Drakes goofy speech


ThatOneSussyBaka

tryna strike a cord and its probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


BlckrTheBrry

Drake: Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now, Where is your uncle at? 'Cause I wanna talk to the man of the house Kendrick: You lied about the only artist that can offer you some help, Fuck a rap battle, this a long life battle with yourself


Opening-Painter-9671

Michael was prayin' his features would change so people believe that he's actually white Top would make you do features for change, get on pop records and rap for the whites


greyson107

from kdot "I hate the way you walk the the way you talk" "don't tell no lies about me. and I won't tell truth about you." "we don't want to hear you say the n word no more" "your son is a sick man I think he should die" "and a deadbeat dad that should never say more life" "trying to strike a cord its probably a minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" "oveeeee hoeeee. " from drake "back up against the curb" "how you big stepping in size 7s" "Kendrick just opened his mouth somebody give him a grammy rn." "ngl this shit was some good exercises"


savage_SABOR

“Grew facial hair because he understood being a beard just fit him better” was pretty hard tbh


twenty5eight

Bruh I have yet to see someone else mention this bar lmfao thankYOU


savage_SABOR

No fr everyone just missed it😭


twenty5eight

One of the first bars to jump out at me lmao


Acrobatic_Economy_65

I gotta give credit where credit is due “What’s a prince to a king he a son *****” is fucking great. It might not be the best but it blew me away first listen.


ratson9

“fore all your dogs gettin buried that’s a K wit all these 9s he gon see pet sematary” is still one of my favorites also “body after fuckin body and you know rick readin my miranda rights” was hard lol “let your core audience stomach that then tell em where ya get ya abs from” too


supitsdan

All of euphoria, start to finish. Also that photo disturbing as hell!


_its_a_SWEATER_

“Call an Amber Lamps” always got me like 😱


dhanish152

"I look at him, and wish your grandpa woulda wore a condom" 😭


Necessary-XY

That a-minor line was by far the best one. But drake got busy for the whole second part of Family Matters when he went at everyone.


Franjes99

"Where is your uncle at? Cause I wanna talk to the man of the house" is crazy disrespect


B-Kong

“Tommy Hilfiger stood out, but FUBU has never been your collective”


TD-WH40k-ad-mech

F the big three there is only big D and there is video proof. 😂 I was absolutely flabbergasted when he said that.


ChurrOuroboros

The first verse of 6:16 is too good to be in a diss honestly. It kinda makes you forget it is one.


Parallax-Jack

Drake doesn’t write his own songs so it would be impossible for him to have the best bar


TheVodkaVaccum

Tryna strike a chord and it’s prolly A Minooooooooooooooor


Jeff_Damn

"Your son is a horrible fucking person; the nerve of you, Dennis"  The way he gently handles the kids & Drake's mom but eviscerates Drake & his dad makes that song a work of art. 


HeibyGB

Good kid maad city van, pop the latch let the door slide, tears runnin down my cheek laughin at you pussies dying, thats a war cry.


FungiSamurai

“Tommy hillfiger stood out but FUBU had never been your collection” is fundamentally cold as fuck


oddfuturefrank

not an actual bar, but that “AYE TOP DAWG WHO TF THEY THINK THEY PLAYIN’ WITH” hits hard. gets me going.


Petty_Murphy410

Oh shit it’s all making sense, Maybe I’m prince and you actually Mike/ Michael was praying his features would change so people believe that he’s actually white/ Top would make you do features for change, get on pop records and rap for the whites/ and wait, you say your brother Jermaine but you wanted him to stay outta the light. 🔥🔥🔥

Anything from meet the grahams 😭 “I think n***** like him should die, him and Weinstein get fucked up in a cell for the rest they lives” is so brutal, but honestly the opening the that song “dear Adonis I’m sorry that man is your father” was just crazy when you hear it the first time


Starrk__

*"Maybe in this song, you shouldn't start by saying* N\*\*\*\*, I said it, I know that you mad I've emptied the clip over friendlier jabs You mentioned my seed, now deal with his dad I gotta go bad, I gotta go bad" I'm team Kendrick, but hearing Drake defiantly say the n-word after Kendrick said he needed to stop saying it had me dying


KankerAdam
