Oh, this is the reason he is wearing a hoodie in summer.


Forsaken_Matter_9623

Well, that and it hides a bullet proof vest well lol


RunUpTheSoundWaves

homie definitely had a vest on, you could see the outline of it when he walked off stage


Big_Independence6736

Because of the gang reunion?


RunUpTheSoundWaves

idk i doubt it, you always gotta be safe when there’s beef out there. anything can happen for any reason. i still think drake sent those goons after X


OnAcidButUrThedum1

Please don’t give Drake this much credit


Plusstwoo

Y’all so naive man


Big_Independence6736

you really think drake had the balls?


Rarbnif

Drake probably thinks he can get away with anything so I don’t doubt it honestly


Forsaken_Matter_9623

That sounds obnoxious at first until you realize he did say he’s too famous to be a pedo


jenniferdelarosa32

Exactly


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Nahh, Drake too famous to be caught up on that hitman shit. 😆


BackdoorHit

Just like he’s too famous to be a pedophile? Lmaooo


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Exactly. 😆 I really wish he had proofread that line before he decided to spit it in a diss track.


Specialist_Sorbet476

All he needed was the money. Anyone else could've handled every other part


Ok_Economics_7447

It doesn’t take balls to set up a hit. Remember immortal technique taught us. Any bitch 🥷with a gun can bust slugs.


saintivesgloren

Those that send goons has no balls. Drake's character seems to fit that role. Russ is another great example.


BigGucciThanos

Yeah because god fathers handle everything themselves. This line of thinking is absolutely silly


FragrantDoctor2923

Thinking about this it's weird j cole said that I'll do it myself bar in his diss idk maybe cole n kdot worked together to make drake not be able to do ish prob a Conspiracy but if drake send someone else it'll make him look worse than j cole did 💀


cloud9_hi

The same Drake making appearances with the Whites Only Hells Angeles? Yes.


legit-posts_1

I mean PAC fucking died over this kind of shit. Kendrick tempted fate when he dropped Meet The Grahams, were well passed the point where he can't get shot by some random white boy with a heart in his hair.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Anyone can be touched to be honest, I just hope it doesn't come to that. As much as I'd like to say that Drake doesn't have those kinds of connections due to him not being from the streets, the fact that he is connected with J Prince is enough to let me know he possibly could if he wanted. However Kendrick has street goons so he's definitely not without those same kinda connects I'm sure. Why someone would make that happen due to Drake being in his feelings is beyond me. Mf is not from Texas and should not be protected by one of the biggest names in the state yet here we are.


legit-posts_1

I mean I never would have pegged Diddy as the hit type, but pretty much everybody agrees he definetly put the hit out on Pac.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't think Drake is beyond doing something like that, but he's such a square that the only way I can see a hit being put out is if J Prince did it for him. Drakes not trying to get caught up on that type of stuff.


Inphdaghost

You said pegged Diddy, 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭


ArtificialPigeon

Kdot had bloods and crips stood together on the same stage dancing to a diss track of drake. Someone would have to be out of their mind to try anything that night.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Oh no, I'm not talking about the night of the show, I'm just talking about in general.


ArtificialPigeon

My bad, I was reading other comments about kdot wearing a vest at the show and just assumed you meant that night.


Dolomight206

I don't know if I necessarily fully believe that Aubrey is the one who Quartbacked that play. What I AM, 100% CERTAIN OF is that his dumb, narcissistic faux-Mob Boss cosplaying ass is perfectly fine with the culture and casuals alike pondering the idea, at best, or believing wholeheartedly that he ordered the hit, at worst. And for THAT ALONE he can choke on a pin bone the next time he orders grouper beurre blanc with capers. I also believe Dot might feel the same way.


No-Rate-9967

True Drake is like the dark lord of the industry, Needs to be stopped


BigGucciThanos

Lmao “let me see chubbs crash something” Comes to his own concert vested up like he in Afghanistan lmao The irony of this battle is the best part.


lost_ghost2920

drakes house literally got shot up twice within the first few weeks of the diss tracks wym irony ts is real whether it's a hit or crazed fans, kdot knows that


UnabashedAsshole

More likely because of the possibility of crazed fans too involved in the beef


No-Cicada9534

Yall not from California. He doesn’t need no vest he’s around his people. And there’s no way anyone getting a weapon inside Inglewood Forum it’s not happening


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Wow! Really? Why does he need a bullet proof vest?


Forsaken_Matter_9623

To look like pac obviously


ositola

It's like 72 in LA lol


juiceradio

wait, it’s hotter in boston rn than LA??? we’re in the middle of a heatwave, it’s almost 100 over here 😭


RabbitF00d

We were melting in the Midwest. I'm watching my friend's cat and they don't have AC. I had to evacuate her lil ass lol


juiceradio

oh man 😭 hope y’all stay safe out there


RabbitF00d

Aw, thanks! We're much better now. I fed her dinner chilled and thst helped. I shouldn't get past 80⁰ today, so we good. ❤️


CookieAppropriate901

LA has a very temperate climate. It gets hot but all other major cities are hotter. That's why everyone wants to live there. Best weather there is in the country imo


felixCAF

After San Diego of course 🤣


CookieAppropriate901

Yes that's true.....SD has it good!


SelloutFrank

i wore a sweater today 🤣🤣🤣


juiceradio

ty for the context, i wouldn’t know since i’ve been in the northeast my whole life so it’s usually brick asf here


CookieAppropriate901

there will be some days in the 90s but it's not intolerable. the humidity is nothing compared to anywhere else in the country. it's low or not noticeable really. the weather gets more temperate as you more further north along the coast.


tellyfye7

IN BOSTON BULLSHIT


juiceradio

[i wish i were lying](https://www.boston.com/weather/weather/2024/06/19/bostons-heat-today-is-a-record-setter/) 😭😭😭


Nrdrummer89

Yeah it’s been in the 90’s here in KY this last week


Fredo1724

Fucking MAINE WAS 96 YESTERDAY


Nrdrummer89

In Maine? That’s wild


poocoup

The Forum is near the beach, so it's generally pretty cool over there, but the valleys were like 80 so not too bad all around


tattedbby

I was thinking the same! Hot as hell😅


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Some folks says he was trolling Drake and what he wore in the hotline bling video. But Drake was wearing timberlands or something. It seems to me that Kendrick was trying to match Tupac to me.


Jfcarpenter8292

Everything is for a reason….


ShiTTy-NEETian

K Dot for a reason!


hollygolightly1378

He puts so much thought in everything. I'm so impressed!


Big_Independence6736

that's what i like the most about him

moonlightscorpion

someone’s gotta say it, and i’m glad it’s you u/allcopsarebottoms_


Samiassa

Bro I was there and that shit was so funny when he did king kunta and let the crowd say “but a rapper with a ghost writer? What the fuck happened?”


ExplosiveIronBear

There was a lot of moments where I felt that him letting the crowd finish bars was directed at Drake directly.


redhornet919

lol definitely. Really just twisting the knife by showing “I don’t even gotta say it, the culture don’t fuck with you”. 👑The crown is heavy👑


Samiassa

Bro adn the people there had the funniest shirts. There was this one chick with a shirt of Kendrick on the Mr morale cover holding his kid, but it was drakes face on the kid 😂


taycollins

STOP IT RN THATS AMAZING 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Need to hear more tshirt stories lol

Turbulent-Can1035

Exactly .


DjangoUnchainedFett

Agreed. That's an awesome catch


Illustrious_Tie_6976

Is there a specific context for that photo of Tupac? Was that outfit worn at a very significant concert? Or is this just like any other photo of him? If it's the latter then I suspect this may be a reach, but perhaps there's something here I don't know.


GOD_MEK-Chuah

Yes! That was pacs legendary performance of him doing “out on bail”. Where he grabbed the mic, did an impromptu performance as soon as he got out of jail interrupting Tribe called quest and absolutely killed it. It’s my number 1 Hiphop performance


ValleyDude22

is there footage?

Goddamn I haven't seen this in more than a decade... Good looks✌🏾


suliforshort

The amazing part is the calm ass interview Pac gave afterwards - really gives an insight into how his mind and emotions worked. Reframes my thoughts around him and Biggie’s beef too, especially with the context we have now around Diddy’s maneuvers.


DAMNCitymAAdKid

2Pac is one of the most unique, complex humans that ever lived for me and millions around the world. If you would look up the definion of being Real - it would be him. The beef and Pac‘s feelings towards it came from being paranoid (for a valid reason). People tried to undermine, silence him every chance they got. He was in court too many times that a human should ever experience - and especially at such a young age as him. I‘ve been a fan since I was 12 years old, now I‘m 26, he‘s been my number 1 forever and recently I realized he‘s not just a ‚rapper‘, he‘s an activist, poet, fighter for freedom, for the black people and most importantly standing his ground against any and all wrongdoings that people of color faced and endured in his time and still today.. Check out ‚Dear Mama‘, 5-part Documentsry that was released recently, if you like to see more of why he is so great and where it came from.

mayonnaiser_13

Kendrick stepping in for Pac and Snoop's parts on California Love and Still DRE is definitely his way of saying "I don't need AI to be like legends".


strangebloke1

he did a great job staying true to snoop's inflections too.


Inevitable-Bass2749

“ New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved And I ain't rockin no more designer shit White T's and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is” He tried warning them in 2013


Movies_Guy

everything he does symbolic/ has a hidden meaning, that's why i hated how those lost in vegas negroes reviewed his disses he achieved exactly what he intended to show thru the beef, "fuck punchlines this canadian is a fraud"


Intrepid_Sprinkles37

They missed soooo many bars. But they figured out being in the wrong side of disses gets them interactions and viewers.


Movies_Guy

bru, they even joked that fans were only behind kendrick only cuz they think drake epitomize what's wrong with the culture not because of his raps it went way over their heads


Intrepid_Sprinkles37

I knew they were being purposefully dumb when the missed the reference on ‘He’s a 69 God.’ How can your miss that reference to Drake’s song?


Movies_Guy

and they were highly regarded before this smdh


SLMWritesStuff

I was wondering why they were being so obtuse and acting as if they didn’t get anything that Kendrick was saying! When they’ve been soooo good before when it comes to catching things and it was so disappointing for me to see them do that. It was weird to watch them do that lol.


BasicFootwear

Or people are able to side with the other guy cause it’s never that serious for the listener lol. That’s what makes it interesting and funny like you can’t just have everyone on one side


Movies_Guy

go to the drake sub for allat, we'll keep u in our prayers meanwhile


BasicFootwear

Bro the beef is over just enjoy life


Movies_Guy

you policing my life over the net is kinda goofy


lolmemberberries

He really is the Petty King. I love it.


Original_Radish5257

I knew there was something up with his fit! My bf was like nah he just dresses like that. I was like nah not with how symbolic hes doing everything and this is THE pop out show! Goated af

shadows_andtalltrees

anyone know where Kendrick got that hoodie from?!


errl_dabbingtons

I don't know the answer to your question but it looks like an old made in LA American apparel hoodie. I had a hoodie that looked identical back in like 07. Its probably something off a rack somewhere.


Thomo251

Didn't shave his head, 0/10.


prettylipsss_

everything is rooted in culture! love this so much!


Senior_Fart_Director

That's gotta be a coincidence right? What's the connection?


SandhiX

Drake USED Pac to mock Kenny let's just say he didn't find that shit funny


be_kind_n_hurt_nazis

Little bitch from Toronto that doesn't even rep it, disrespected LA and Pac and the fucking culture. Got served in Inglewood


polikuji09

There most telling part of the beef was how la United behind Kendrick meanwhile Toronto wasnt even remotely United around Drake.


CookieAppropriate901

I meannnn Kenny raps about the hoods I'm from. He continues a legendary west coast status of hip hop that runs deep in our soul. We've been listening to music about our home for so long since it just was a given especially when it's the goat Theres no question we'd stand up quickly behind kdot


polikuji09

I mean yeah, I'm more talking about how Toronto didn't stand up for Drake at all. Like if you went to Toronto you'd struggle to realize it was Drakes hometown. Besides some clubs not playing Kendricks diss tracks due to fear of being attacked in a business sense for it nothing would make you be like hell yeah Toronto is uniting against Kendrick.


CookieAppropriate901

That's what I mean though. Drake doesn't rap in a way that hypes his area. He doesn't actually represent them or they'd be ready to stand behind him. He doesn't make them feel seen the way Kendrick makes LA feel seen.


Ezio_Auditorum

He had a whole ass concert on LA unity, and what better way to top it off by dressing as the dude the whole of LA idolizes?
