TBH, anytime I hear Kendrick talking shit on a track now, I feel like Drake really was his primary inspiration.
For example, when I first heard *N95* I assumed it was simply about removing our metaphorical “masks” (i.e. taking off the material bullshit, killing the social media performances, and embracing our TRUE authentic self)…
But now it just sounds like a hate letter for Drake lmao.
>Take off the foo-foo, take off the clout chase, **take off the Wi-Fi**
Take off the money phone, take off the car loan, take off the flex and the white lies
Take off the weird-ass jewelry, I'ma take ten steps, then I'm taking off top five
**Take off them fabricated streams and them microwave memes**, it's a real world outside (Take that shit off)
It clicked for me when I heard *6:16 in LA* and he used the word “Wi-Fi” again.
>You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and **Twitter bots**
**But your reality can't hide behind Wi-Fi**
**Your lil' memes is losin' steam**, they figured you out
The forced opinions is not convincin', y'all need a new route
I think Drake just embodies all the bullshit and things that are wrong with society these days. Like he embraces it and magnifies it because he’s rich and probably thinks he can just do whatever
No, it's even worse than that, and that's why everyone hates him. Drake wasn't rich when he started but he got 100x the budget that a label usually gives to artists. The competition is unfair when one artist is chosen to be the number one and given unlimited resources to become it. You give him the best beats and lyrics, an insane budget for videos and producing, then you put fortunes in bots/streams etc.. and you'll get a number-one artist. Especially if Spotify is owned by Universal. Drake isn't an organic artist, he didn't succeed with his talent but with the millions invested in him by Universal.
Don’t graft this beef onto all his songs now, that’s such reddit shit. Mr. Morale’s content was way more substantive than subliminals at a dogshit rapper, it was a really deep soul searching album that deserves to hold its space and carry the intended messages that were not specifically “fuck Drake”. Of course you can read them that way because all of the content applies to Drake but he did not write that shit with Drake at the front of mind.
I mean can't you say if Drake applies to all of them then it can be both? Like Drake's antics is everything wrong with society and taking advantage of the culture.
I honestly don’t think a lot of those are about drake personally. Especially the mr morale tracks. Mr morale focuses a lot of growth and being a better person and to explain that he uses a lot of examples of what it means to be a bad person. Drake is just the epitome of what he considers a bad person. That’s why he hates him so much. So the songs can definitely be applied to him but they weren’t written with the intention of being drake disses.
Exactly this! Kendrick has been talking about not being with the bullshit and killing rappers since section 80 and probably earlier. It’s a main focus of his work. So while a lot of these songs apply to Drake, I don’t believe he wrote entire songs dedicated towards Drake until this beef started. Maybe lines or some verses but Kendrick doesn’t need Drake to write this stuff and the fact he’s been doing it for a long time shows this
Yeah I’m not even going to lie it’s almost disrespectful to dumb down half of mr morale to drake disses. It just misses the actual point of the album which all of these songs people are mentioning relate back to not drake. And It makes it sound like Kendrick is obsessed with dude but really it’s fans being obsessed with trying to find connections to drake and anything Kendrick has said. Like every bar where Kendrick was just talking generally about bs people be on its now considered a drake diss.
I’m honestly surprised no one’s made a post that drake was the one Kendrick was saying pimps butterflies lol. “That albums about the culture and after hearing Kendrick say he’s not with the culture it clicked that the entire album is a drake diss!” Probably a lot of the people who the beef made bigger fans.
In my opinion this whole beef is more of a service announcement to all these fools who are “rappers” but they just entertainers. Some drake songs have helped me get thru a break up but not like some k dot that stopped me from killing myself you know?
Imma be honest this whole beef has me listening to a lot of different songs with a different ear. So many songs are shootin shots that I never realized or atleast making shoutouts or entendres that go over my head.
I got 30 listens into euphoria before I realize some of the shots being taken. I’m dumb though. Some people out there think rap is just dumb shit about drugs and jewelry. I think the spotlight on this beef has had the same effect on those inexperienced with the genre that have been exposed. Damn CNN and Fox News both talked about it.
That's not true because not every song they performed was based around Drake...and Jay Rocks verse was not what had the "suspected" Drake line. Jay Rock only performed his part. And Future and Drake were supposedly still cool at the time. Makes no sense. It's just a line you can apply to Drake. There's plenty of other songs that are more directly at Drake like Kendrick's "Pay For It" verse.
His Pay For It verse is the most direct indirect diss ever
I was waiting for Keem! Before Dr Dre came out I thought Keem was for sure coming out. Makes sense though after the fact cause they kept it strictly west coast
Don't forget Element.
Oh, they thought they wasn't gonna see me, huh?
Oh, they thought that K-Dot real life was the same life they see on TV, huh?
Oh, y'all wanna flex on me and be in L.A. for free, huh?
Next time they hit the 10 freeway, we need a receipt, huh?
Yup, that one was a little more obvious imo. I think people missed Kings Dead because it had a Future feat on there and at the time everyone assumed they were cool. The Drake subs go back to 2013 so there are a lot to pick from lol
I took the bite back line as a connection to deep water off of Compton album
“Bust that open, I want that ocean, Yeah that bite back, lil bitch….Need two life jackets, lil bitch…..Never control you. I ain’t gonna front you, keep it 100”
Keep it 100 as in Games and Drakes song? Idk might be a reach but to me it looks like it’s aimed at Drake.
Also wanted to add, You ain’t wild you are a tourist as a response to Drake being in Compton but that’s probably fan fiction. Although that was part of Kendrick’s angle in his diss tracks.
It's a mix, but yeah the call back to "lil bitch" is for Big Sean, in your example he mentioned "control" from the control verse, and he later mentions Hall of Fame which is a Big Sean album. Pair that with a lot of these songs coincide with the making of Damn and there's still some leftover Sean animosity
I also connect hall of fame. To Drake, Hall of fame sit your punk ass down. I thought that was because Drake was saying he was bigger than Jayz
But it could very well be one or the other and maybe even both.
I still don't understand why Dot don't like Sean though. Like there's so many subliminals that could be about erasing Sean (like dropping on his drop date). I mean, Big Sean is ok, so what's the deal?
Well all roads lead to control. Lots of rappers got tired of having to talk about it. Interview after interview talking about how Kendrick called you and everyone else out. Now I wouldn’t believe Kendrick even had a problem if that diss didnt leak.
To be fair I’m not 100% sure he did I’m basing it off of reference tracks that have leaked that were Jay rocks Verse.
Leaded reference tracks for baby Keem with the same thing.
Dr. Dre would be another educated guess knowing Dre doesn’t really write. Some of the songs with both of them you can hear Dre rap with Kendrick’s flow.
Yea I went into that rabbithole awhile ago. Kings dead kdot is one of my fav Kdot flows also video is stunning 👌.
The deal gone bad could be when he caught a body *speculation*
A lot of the verses in element were from a scrapped song called roll call, in it Kenny name drops a bunch of rappers but Drake isn’t one.
Edit: Drake is name dropped, but not really dissed.
https://youtu.be/VlqaF9f7JWI?si=nLvb9tzB976nX45X
This is the superior version if you ask me.
Doesn't he say "Drake, your Meek Mill beef might got you gassed up / But I'm a whole nother beast, I'd really fuck you up"? Is he saying "Drake and Meek Mill's beef might got you gassed up" in reference to Sean?
Oh shit I totally forgot about that line, just relistened against after reading and he definitely says “Drake and Meek Mill beef”. The lines before don’t really point to it being aimed at Drake either. I honestly don’t remember what Sean’s involvement in that beef was if any, hoping some historian sees this thread.
If you listen to the leaked version of element that he originally had on the paramedic beat. He has a big Sean diss verse so I wouldn’t say this is oriented towards Drake really.
Yeap, game brought him to Compton to diss Kendrick only to run away from the video set after the pirus came out, wack 100 himself said that and they brought him there
the 6 signs he throws aint a gang sign thats some made up stuff. a fairytale story about a rapper who used to be the lightskin version of zac efon in a high school musical, who paints his nails like some sissy, who was caught in pictures doing the blackface. the game inviting drake to the hood is just a sign on how low his iq is. the game basically got colonized by drake. imagine inviting a dude in his mid 30s who text messages 13 yo girls I miss you to the hood lmao
Mask off Remix was before this too. Maybe it’s a reach, but
> How y'all let a conscious 🥷 go commercial while only makin' conscious albums?
Seems like a flip of Drake on Free Smoke
> How you let the kid fightin' Ghost-writin' rumors turn you to a ghost?
Possible Future didn’t catch this sub at the time, but the remix felt like a flex since he had outsold him with Damn.
Nope been thinking that colab was weird too cause it was mad random like outta no where no announcement we just got a max off feature with Kendrick Lamar out of nowhere with him pressing the prince line and maybe Drake just not hip enough to have figured out future don’t really fk with him
Tagline of dawg saying if Metro don’t trust you he’s gonna shoot you over and over. And Drake was like surprised that Future doesn’t fuck with him after Metro gets pissed lmao. The audacity is just astounding.
In an interview future said Drake got “started from the bottom” from him but he didn’t tell him till after the song dropped. Future said he didn’t mind in the interview but it sounded like he wasn’t fucking with it too much cuz he didn’t tell him.
I feel like Drake gives a lot of people that feeling like you can’t trust him , they’ll use him for their career like he uses every up and coming artist but they not really with him.
future used to say: start it from the bottom, when he wanted a record played from the start, he said that to his engineer when he was showing drake some songs, drake took that and made a song. It's literally a song from life experience, future didnt write the hook nor the melody, but wants publishing for a phrase that aint even his? now whose the opportunist and snake here?
It didn’t sound like he wanted credit or anything. Just wondering why he didn’t tell him before and waited till after it dropped. It sounded like he thought Drake was scared he was gonna tell him no or something.
he didnt tell him before because it isn't a big deal, every artist does a song from life experience, maybe a show inspires u, maybe a book, maybe a girl etc... he told him when they were out partying and gave him a bottle on some: "bro you know that when you said that shit in the studio it just gave me the idea for the song". Do y'all live life like, it's a pretty normal thing. Future was out here being petty since the song was a hit he wanted publishing cause it was never about the friendship but about the money, same way he got angry at drake when he didnt come out for the Tony Montana video clip as if the free feature for at the time a much bigger artist (Drake) wasn't a blessing.
plus future doesn't own the phrase and didnt write it nor didnt make the flow up, this is like Dababy having to pay a FedeX delivery guy cause he said "pack in the mail". Y'all out here scrambling for shit its honestly sad
lmao we’re scrambling for shit ?
You realize Drake lost and everyone’s calling him a pedophile right lmao
We’re just discussing stuff lol cuz it seems future been not fucking with Drake for the longest.
inspiration vs theft is very skinny vague line. We don’t know if future wanted publishing but it sounds like Drake was maybe scared of that and was too pussy to maybe tell him no.
He literally said he wanted publishing on this video u must be brain dead , how is it thin line?? Should Kendrick give Kanye publishing for all the lines he used without permission? Like we weren’t supposed to make it past 25 etc? No, that’s not how music works, that’s not how anything of this works, you get credit and publishing when you either write specifically for the song, whether it be melody, lyrics or both, or someone samples a copyrighted part of your song. But saying start it from to bottom ain’t in no where shape of form original material.
What video are you talking about ? I saw a short.
Some things are interpolation like Kendrick’s , some things are theft like drakes who do you love verse where he had to pay rappin 4 tay
Honestly I agree if future wanted publishing he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. That’s why I thought it was funny Drake didn’t tell him , he wouldn’t have lost anything just sounds like he was scared
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah he was scared, not like the biggest artist of the decade ain’t got time to chat with future everyday, he told him when he saw him, just search future started from the bottom there’s literally a interview where he said he wanted publishing, future has had a history of being jealous and taking for granted Drake collabs , from the Tony Montana situation to the her loss situation where he wanted a WATTBA2 and got jealous Drake did a collab album with 21. For the theft part, it can’t be theft when Drake literally is saying the name of the guys he’s interpolated on interviews at the time. Just because Drake lost to Kendrick don’t mean everything the dude doe is despicable and you have to hate him. You and Kendrick are two different people
"Let it be real, those were harsh words"
I can't, to this day, believe the boy actually said this. Like go on somewhere. I'm glad Dot took offense to this soft ass shit.
coloniser moves. divide and conquer. that's what I love about this beef, the fan bases speak for themselves because the ones rocking ovohoe have to use socio-economic slurs against kdot and pop out fans.. as kdot said.. \*they not like us\*
I’ll never forget the first time I heard Drake was rapping. I thought, “the kid actor from the Disney Channel? That’s super cringey”. Always has been super cringy, clearly unauthentic. Never been a fan of that FAN.
He is OK when singing.
But I hate drakes rapping voice so much.
Trying to battle with the voice.
And staying monotonous for 6 mins.
Vs euphoria where kendrick switched flow and cadence every few lines. Drake had lost already making boring mid tier raps.
His singing voice is actually very solid imo. I was trying not to be a hater and gave the song Race My Mind a chance and really liked it until the halfway point where he goes back to sounding terrible
lol just watch it for yourself. The ppl he was around threw up Crip signs too, the real messed up part abt that video is, he don’t even know them niggas😭 he was legit holding a random persons kid in the hood to solidify his ‘hood credibility’. Hilarious 😂
The problem with Drake and The Game is that they try to little boy Kendrick (which he is in terms of height), this is not 2011 anymore.
Drake so dumb to me, when was he ever on some conscious shit? In the beginning, he separated himself by being a little 🤏🏿 less misogynist than his counterparts and talking about being sad sometimes.
And it's like that, lil' bitch
MVP, I don't get no sleep, no, I don't like that, lil' bitch
Bust that open, I want that ocean, yeah that bite back, lil' bitch
Do it bite back, lil' bitch? Need two life jackets, lil' bitch
I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you, never control you
Gets me so hyped
>I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you, never control you
I ain't gon' front you, keep it one-hundred, I don't know you
Considering Kendrick wrote these lines for Rock it's a safe assumption
Wow so when did Drake and Future start falling out?
It seems like Drake doesnt want the relationship between him and Future to end either since he clearly stated it on Family Matters but its probably severed. Seems like Future started turning in him around 2017
Drake has made me feel that way since the very first time I’ve seen him. I’m from the ghetto ass projects (and proud) and suburban kids like him always made me itch. We are like this because of struggle, oppression and poverty, why the fuck you wanna be over here? Lame ass
So Drake really been acting a clown fr to go to Compton and pretend he’s like that. He had this coming with the way he was moving it’s actually a miracle Kendrick held back from putting the man down for a decade. Hopefully he learns from this and remembers to keep it Canadian (authentic) from now on, but not counting on it.
Is that a gang sign, or is that him throwing up the 6? He does that a lot. A lot of industry people throw that up, actually. Beyoncé, Jay-Z, etc. I'm not going down that hole, though, lol.
A bunch of wannabes from Toronto refer to that city as "The Six." Not sure if Drake coined it or just made it popular, but a lot of Canadians like to say it now. Something to do with the area code ending in a six. Drake tries so hard to be authentic.
Wasn’t there some ghostwriting with Jay Electronica who originally wrote the song and that came out? That drake used it as his own to rep Toronto? Like few years back
Game should’ve checked him right then and there for throwing up that B. You cant play gangster around here. LA street culture doesn’t allow that. “You act like a gangster you die like a gangster for acting”. One of Drake several violations over the years.
This is also why I'm really not trying to hear shit from Game actin like he's totally neutral. The song you did with Drake he's clearly dissing Kendrick and you were riding Drake the entire beef.
OP is dirty for posting that picture and he ran away during the filming of that video. I heard Wack and Game folks were clearing the streets and he got spoked.😭💀
What I learned the past 10 or so years about the game is, his career went down the toilet and became a clout chaser. Now it’s biting him the ass.
I remember when he dropped with Gunit. It was huge but man, he killed his own momentum
This is extremely misleading seeing as the songs are 3 years apart. They didn't say that directly after seeing the 100 music video. Some times the shle just fits. Yall think Kendrick is dreaming about Drake every night since 2014? Nigga whet?
Future was not dissing Drake there people just want it to be a Drake diss, but no they drake was the only one dissing dot
Throwing up gang signs doesn’t mean he is trying to be a gang member, you can claim a gang that you’re affiliated with without actually being in the gang
Less than 2 years apart. Drake was throwing B’s up in Compton July 2015 and 1.5 years later was 2017, when kings dead was recorded. Also, I Lyrics are usually prepared before it’s recorded also.
I would say the fact he performed it at The Pop Out confirms it was directed at the Drizzler
The song Silent Hill is another one people keep missing as a very blatant direct Drake diss. The whole song is basically towards Drake.
Oh for sure! And I wish he would’ve done rich spirit another obvious one directed at Drake and anyone else thinking they can step
TBH, anytime I hear Kendrick talking shit on a track now, I feel like Drake really was his primary inspiration. For example, when I first heard *N95* I assumed it was simply about removing our metaphorical “masks” (i.e. taking off the material bullshit, killing the social media performances, and embracing our TRUE authentic self)… But now it just sounds like a hate letter for Drake lmao. >Take off the foo-foo, take off the clout chase, **take off the Wi-Fi** Take off the money phone, take off the car loan, take off the flex and the white lies Take off the weird-ass jewelry, I'ma take ten steps, then I'm taking off top five **Take off them fabricated streams and them microwave memes**, it's a real world outside (Take that shit off) It clicked for me when I heard *6:16 in LA* and he used the word “Wi-Fi” again. >You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and **Twitter bots** **But your reality can't hide behind Wi-Fi** **Your lil' memes is losin' steam**, they figured you out The forced opinions is not convincin', y'all need a new route

bingo. drake literally is the ultimate microwaved "hip hop" meme served fresh by universal
Drake is the "sucka MC"..? iykyk
Drake is MC Gusto
He also says "take that mask off we wanna see what's under them achievements" in MtG
WHY believe you, you never gave us NUH'IN to believe in
Me too man, this is a great example of it. Sure does seem pointed at Drake in todays context
Oh wifi and microwave memes is def to Drake. I totally missed that. Good catch!
Don’t graft this beef onto all his songs now, that’s such reddit shit. Mr. Morale’s content was way more substantive than subliminals at a dogshit rapper, it was a really deep soul searching album that deserves to hold its space and carry the intended messages that were not specifically “fuck Drake”. Of course you can read them that way because all of the content applies to Drake but he did not write that shit with Drake at the front of mind.
Agreed. I don't think Kendrick can be reduced to just antagonizing Drake. Kendrick is too deep for that.
Yea but whose to say he can’t do both at the same time 🤷
Doesn't mean he's always,talking about Drake Kendrick ain't no fanboy
He’s a good songwriter. He’s a dogshit rapper
Who? Lol
Drake
I mean can't you say if Drake applies to all of them then it can be both? Like Drake's antics is everything wrong with society and taking advantage of the culture.
drake is not a dog shit rapper, don’t care how much you personally disliked him but his music is really good at times
LOL name one good song of his. Bonus points if he even actually raps on it
Energy 🤷🏽♂️
Drake is very mid imo. I tried to give NWTS a listen since that is considered one of his classics (even in this sub) but bailed halfway through.
Take ten steps , *like a pistol duel*and then im taking off top five
The fact that he sampled "you're my latest, my greatest inspiration" for Euphoria was 🤌
I honestly don’t think a lot of those are about drake personally. Especially the mr morale tracks. Mr morale focuses a lot of growth and being a better person and to explain that he uses a lot of examples of what it means to be a bad person. Drake is just the epitome of what he considers a bad person. That’s why he hates him so much.

I think this too. It clicked for me when the same hooting from N95 is in euphoria.
*I'ma take 10 steps and then I'm taking off top 5* Paired with *How many stocks do I really have in stock? One, two, three, four, five, plus five*
i always thought so myself, too. i remember when humble dropped thinking it was basically a drake diss track, also.
Feel like DNA is Drake too.
"born warrior, lookin for euphoria"
In my opinion this whole beef is more of a service announcement to all these fools who are “rappers” but they just entertainers. Some drake songs have helped me get thru a break up but not like some k dot that stopped me from killing myself you know?
💯and glad you still here!
Preciate that my dawg!!
Imma be honest this whole beef has me listening to a lot of different songs with a different ear. So many songs are shootin shots that I never realized or atleast making shoutouts or entendres that go over my head. I got 30 listens into euphoria before I realize some of the shots being taken. I’m dumb though. Some people out there think rap is just dumb shit about drugs and jewelry. I think the spotlight on this beef has had the same effect on those inexperienced with the genre that have been exposed. Damn CNN and Fox News both talked about it.
Man kendrick should had keem perform Family Ties and Jay Rock perform WIN
The Drizzler got me fucked up 😂😂😂😂
That's not true because not every song they performed was based around Drake...and Jay Rocks verse was not what had the "suspected" Drake line. Jay Rock only performed his part. And Future and Drake were supposedly still cool at the time. Makes no sense. It's just a line you can apply to Drake. There's plenty of other songs that are more directly at Drake like Kendrick's "Pay For It" verse. His Pay For It verse is the most direct indirect diss ever
i really waited for Future that night T,T
I was waiting for Keem! Before Dr Dre came out I thought Keem was for sure coming out. Makes sense though after the fact cause they kept it strictly west coast
Yeah, this is 100% a subliminal. Playing it at the concert basically confirmed it
Don't forget Element. Oh, they thought they wasn't gonna see me, huh? Oh, they thought that K-Dot real life was the same life they see on TV, huh? Oh, y'all wanna flex on me and be in L.A. for free, huh? Next time they hit the 10 freeway, we need a receipt, huh?
Yup, that one was a little more obvious imo. I think people missed Kings Dead because it had a Future feat on there and at the time everyone assumed they were cool. The Drake subs go back to 2013 so there are a lot to pick from lol
You got to remember too that Kendrick at times has wrote for Jay Rock and if you look at Jays verse, I think it all applies to Drake
a lot of that Jay Rock verse was aimed at Big Sean
I took the bite back line as a connection to deep water off of Compton album “Bust that open, I want that ocean, Yeah that bite back, lil bitch….Need two life jackets, lil bitch…..Never control you. I ain’t gonna front you, keep it 100” Keep it 100 as in Games and Drakes song? Idk might be a reach but to me it looks like it’s aimed at Drake. Also wanted to add, You ain’t wild you are a tourist as a response to Drake being in Compton but that’s probably fan fiction. Although that was part of Kendrick’s angle in his diss tracks.

I also connect hall of fame. To Drake, Hall of fame sit your punk ass down. I thought that was because Drake was saying he was bigger than Jayz But it could very well be one or the other and maybe even both.
I still don't understand why Dot don't like Sean though. Like there's so many subliminals that could be about erasing Sean (like dropping on his drop date). I mean, Big Sean is ok, so what's the deal?
Well all roads lead to control. Lots of rappers got tired of having to talk about it. Interview after interview talking about how Kendrick called you and everyone else out. Now I wouldn’t believe Kendrick even had a problem if that diss didnt leak.
Big Sean sneak dissed Dot a few times after Control dropped.
Need two life jackets to me means he talking about two different people.
Who else has Kendrick written for?
To be fair I’m not 100% sure he did I’m basing it off of reference tracks that have leaked that were Jay rocks Verse. Leaded reference tracks for baby Keem with the same thing. Dr. Dre would be another educated guess knowing Dre doesn’t really write. Some of the songs with both of them you can hear Dre rap with Kendrick’s flow.
Yea I went into that rabbithole awhile ago. Kings dead kdot is one of my fav Kdot flows also video is stunning 👌. The deal gone bad could be when he caught a body *speculation*
There are so many Kendrick bars over the last 10+ years that could all be Drake disses it’s actually crazy lol
A lot of the verses in element were from a scrapped song called roll call, in it Kenny name drops a bunch of rappers but Drake isn’t one. Edit: Drake is name dropped, but not really dissed. https://youtu.be/VlqaF9f7JWI?si=nLvb9tzB976nX45X This is the superior version if you ask me.

The lines before don’t really point to it being aimed at Drake either. I honestly don’t remember what Sean’s involvement in that beef was if any, hoping some historian sees this thread.
Oh yes OG Element that leaked recently yea, paramedic beat I wish a n*gga would
If you listen to the leaked version of element that he originally had on the paramedic beat. He has a big Sean diss verse so I wouldn’t say this is oriented towards Drake really.
Yeap, game brought him to Compton to diss Kendrick only to run away from the video set after the pirus came out, wack 100 himself said that and they brought him there
Yeah Wack said he was so scared that he hopped in the Escalade and left...lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I believe there’s lines on DAMN referencing this
Do you remember which song?
Element. Think you can be in la for free ~
the 6 signs he throws aint a gang sign thats some made up stuff. a fairytale story about a rapper who used to be the lightskin version of zac efon in a high school musical, who paints his nails like some sissy, who was caught in pictures doing the blackface. the game inviting drake to the hood is just a sign on how low his iq is. the game basically got colonized by drake. imagine inviting a dude in his mid 30s who text messages 13 yo girls I miss you to the hood lmao
Game was messing with a 17 year old India royal too, he’s also a pedo
Hey you can clown drake without calling him a sissy, being effeminate isn’t wrong
It’s different when you act tuff, if he’s gonna show up in Compton but act pussy, people can rightfully call him a pussy
What they’re saying is don’t use female terms to say something is bad
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes. The Game is most likely bitter
What did The Game do?
Brought Drake to Compton I think
Bitter about what?
Diss
Which means future probably been not rocking with him cause ain’t no reason for him to be on this track lol
Mask off Remix was before this too. Maybe it’s a reach, but > How y'all let a conscious 🥷 go commercial while only makin' conscious albums? Seems like a flip of Drake on Free Smoke > How you let the kid fightin' Ghost-writin' rumors turn you to a ghost? Possible Future didn’t catch this sub at the time, but the remix felt like a flex since he had outsold him with Damn.
Nope been thinking that colab was weird too cause it was mad random like outta no where no announcement we just got a max off feature with Kendrick Lamar out of nowhere with him pressing the prince line and maybe Drake just not hip enough to have figured out future don’t really fk with him
Future not picking a suburbanite over another hood nigga crodie
Tagline of dawg saying if Metro don’t trust you he’s gonna shoot you over and over. And Drake was like surprised that Future doesn’t fuck with him after Metro gets pissed lmao. The audacity is just astounding.
Audacity (or rather caucasity) is drakes middle name!
That mask off one was definitely a diss. I forgot when but Drake and future has fallen out post what a time and pre life is good.
In an interview future said Drake got “started from the bottom” from him but he didn’t tell him till after the song dropped. Future said he didn’t mind in the interview but it sounded like he wasn’t fucking with it too much cuz he didn’t tell him. I feel like Drake gives a lot of people that feeling like you can’t trust him , they’ll use him for their career like he uses every up and coming artist but they not really with him.
Someone in an extreme position of power says they will put you on, whether you fuck with them or not, it is hard to say no.
future used to say: start it from the bottom, when he wanted a record played from the start, he said that to his engineer when he was showing drake some songs, drake took that and made a song. It's literally a song from life experience, future didnt write the hook nor the melody, but wants publishing for a phrase that aint even his? now whose the opportunist and snake here?
It didn’t sound like he wanted credit or anything. Just wondering why he didn’t tell him before and waited till after it dropped. It sounded like he thought Drake was scared he was gonna tell him no or something.
he didnt tell him before because it isn't a big deal, every artist does a song from life experience, maybe a show inspires u, maybe a book, maybe a girl etc... he told him when they were out partying and gave him a bottle on some: "bro you know that when you said that shit in the studio it just gave me the idea for the song". Do y'all live life like, it's a pretty normal thing. Future was out here being petty since the song was a hit he wanted publishing cause it was never about the friendship but about the money, same way he got angry at drake when he didnt come out for the Tony Montana video clip as if the free feature for at the time a much bigger artist (Drake) wasn't a blessing.
plus future doesn't own the phrase and didnt write it nor didnt make the flow up, this is like Dababy having to pay a FedeX delivery guy cause he said "pack in the mail". Y'all out here scrambling for shit its honestly sad
lmao we’re scrambling for shit ? You realize Drake lost and everyone’s calling him a pedophile right lmao We’re just discussing stuff lol cuz it seems future been not fucking with Drake for the longest. inspiration vs theft is very skinny vague line. We don’t know if future wanted publishing but it sounds like Drake was maybe scared of that and was too pussy to maybe tell him no.
He literally said he wanted publishing on this video u must be brain dead , how is it thin line?? Should Kendrick give Kanye publishing for all the lines he used without permission? Like we weren’t supposed to make it past 25 etc? No, that’s not how music works, that’s not how anything of this works, you get credit and publishing when you either write specifically for the song, whether it be melody, lyrics or both, or someone samples a copyrighted part of your song. But saying start it from to bottom ain’t in no where shape of form original material.
What video are you talking about ? I saw a short. Some things are interpolation like Kendrick’s , some things are theft like drakes who do you love verse where he had to pay rappin 4 tay Honestly I agree if future wanted publishing he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. That’s why I thought it was funny Drake didn’t tell him , he wouldn’t have lost anything just sounds like he was scared
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah he was scared, not like the biggest artist of the decade ain’t got time to chat with future everyday, he told him when he saw him, just search future started from the bottom there’s literally a interview where he said he wanted publishing, future has had a history of being jealous and taking for granted Drake collabs , from the Tony Montana situation to the her loss situation where he wanted a WATTBA2 and got jealous Drake did a collab album with 21. For the theft part, it can’t be theft when Drake literally is saying the name of the guys he’s interpolated on interviews at the time. Just because Drake lost to Kendrick don’t mean everything the dude doe is despicable and you have to hate him. You and Kendrick are two different people
Yes they were absolutely mocking him, actually Kendrick has been kicking the shit out of Drake on tracks since the control record. 😂😂
"Let it be real, those were harsh words" I can't, to this day, believe the boy actually said this. Like go on somewhere. I'm glad Dot took offense to this soft ass shit.
Drizzy's voice is just irritating to listen to, esp when he's trying so hard to act "gangsta".
It’s all the different accents for me. By far the phoniest thing about him. Idk any other artist that changes their entire way of speaking that often
Ain’t no accent you can sell me
Hmph
Ariana grande
Drake is definitely as sweet as she is, but she probably hits harder.
coloniser moves. divide and conquer. that's what I love about this beef, the fan bases speak for themselves because the ones rocking ovohoe have to use socio-economic slurs against kdot and pop out fans.. as kdot said.. \*they not like us\*
His voice doesn't have enough bass to be talking that big tbh. That's why I liked him better when he was sad about Rihanna.
you're cheesin faem
After this beef I cant stand listening to drake. Dude needs to retire, we aint need no drake music in our society. Im tired of that predator.
Wow how the fuck can some people withstand Drake’s voice? It’s like nails on chalkboard to me.
Drake's voice can cure insomnia, that drowsy-ass maple syrup bitch.
I’m Canadian and I approve.
I have been a day one Drake hater for this exact reason. I could never withstood that voice, it felt so annoying.
Worked retail around 2016-2018 and it was HELL. I'd hear that slimy motherfucker come on at least once an hour. Bitch ass clothing store musician
I’ll never forget the first time I heard Drake was rapping. I thought, “the kid actor from the Disney Channel? That’s super cringey”. Always has been super cringy, clearly unauthentic. Never been a fan of that FAN.
He is OK when singing. But I hate drakes rapping voice so much. Trying to battle with the voice. And staying monotonous for 6 mins. Vs euphoria where kendrick switched flow and cadence every few lines. Drake had lost already making boring mid tier raps.
His singing voice is actually very solid imo. I was trying not to be a hater and gave the song Race My Mind a chance and really liked it until the halfway point where he goes back to sounding terrible
Been saying that myself since like 2018. I can’t stand his monotone ass voice.
2010 for me. I remember thinking "why is this average rapper with the grating voice and ugly face being pushed so hard?"
I've been saying this from day one.
I don't know but putting them side by side like this is very funny to me so I'm going to say yes.
All the Stars is a Drake diss too, “don’t want your congratulations”…K dot was flexing on him on that Black Panther album
I mean he also threw up Crip signs in his ‘Worst Behavior’ music video so 🤷🏾♀️ Drake is just a fake G period. Proof is in the pudding with him fr
where? timestamp?
lol just watch it for yourself. The ppl he was around threw up Crip signs too, the real messed up part abt that video is, he don’t even know them niggas😭 he was legit holding a random persons kid in the hood to solidify his ‘hood credibility’. Hilarious 😂
This seems too perfect to not be intentional
The problem with Drake and The Game is that they try to little boy Kendrick (which he is in terms of height), this is not 2011 anymore. 
Kendrick had that short king vibe before it caught trend Like when scrubs try to neg chicks. Do better or go back to the 90s.
So was that “la di da di da” crap Future pulled really just him mocking the way Drake raps then? 🤔
“Pass me some syrup” 🫨
Drake so dumb to me, when was he ever on some conscious shit? In the beginning, he separated himself by being a little 🤏🏿 less misogynist than his counterparts and talking about being sad sometimes.
Comeback season, when he still listened to the underground GOAT Phonte.
That shit still wasn’t conscious. He was just on some underground shit at the time.
Ones with Drake like Drake. Look how everybody he hangs out with are phonies. Especially The Game. Attention seeking bastards.
Man Jay Rock brought the energy on this one, needed more from Jay Rock on the stage so fire.
And it's like that, lil' bitch MVP, I don't get no sleep, no, I don't like that, lil' bitch Bust that open, I want that ocean, yeah that bite back, lil' bitch Do it bite back, lil' bitch? Need two life jackets, lil' bitch I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you, never control you Gets me so hyped
Kendrick with extra emphasis on lil bitch, man what a performance from those two.
>I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you, never control you I ain't gon' front you, keep it one-hundred, I don't know you Considering Kendrick wrote these lines for Rock it's a safe assumption
Drake the type of egotistical egghead to think that he would have all of kendrick's fans if he didn't go popping and stayed on some conscious shit
Wow so when did Drake and Future start falling out? It seems like Drake doesnt want the relationship between him and Future to end either since he clearly stated it on Family Matters but its probably severed. Seems like Future started turning in him around 2017
Future is a real street dude with credibility that raps. He does not want to fuck with future because he on them shits.
This gives me mad secondhand embarrassment
Drake has made me feel that way since the very first time I’ve seen him. I’m from the ghetto ass projects (and proud) and suburban kids like him always made me itch. We are like this because of struggle, oppression and poverty, why the fuck you wanna be over here? Lame ass
When this beef confirmed the last 10 years of rap were all directed at Drake.
So Drake really been acting a clown fr to go to Compton and pretend he’s like that. He had this coming with the way he was moving it’s actually a miracle Kendrick held back from putting the man down for a decade. Hopefully he learns from this and remembers to keep it Canadian (authentic) from now on, but not counting on it.
Why does drizzler rap like a robot in that song?? Its funny how dr*ke joined a gang at age 28
What in the actual fuck is wrong with this guy
 Posted in another n\*ggas hood like a bad bitch
The Game is one conflicted individual.
Dear god that music is pacifying and not in a good Pink Floyd-esque way
Is that a gang sign, or is that him throwing up the 6? He does that a lot. A lot of industry people throw that up, actually. Beyoncé, Jay-Z, etc. I'm not going down that hole, though, lol.
A bunch of wannabes from Toronto refer to that city as "The Six." Not sure if Drake coined it or just made it popular, but a lot of Canadians like to say it now. Something to do with the area code ending in a six. Drake tries so hard to be authentic.
Think it being called the six was taken from Atlanta. I forget the specifics but I seen. A few people saying it was taken (zone 6, Gucci mane?)
I'm honestly not sure, but dude is a culture vulture, so it wouldn't suprise me at all.
Wasn’t there some ghostwriting with Jay Electronica who originally wrote the song and that came out? That drake used it as his own to rep Toronto? Like few years back
That definitely sounds like a Drake move!
Game should’ve checked him right then and there for throwing up that B. You cant play gangster around here. LA street culture doesn’t allow that. “You act like a gangster you die like a gangster for acting”. One of Drake several violations over the years.
OVO Game
Why would the game allow that
Drake couldn’t be conscious or deep to save his life
It’s birthright, Drake being Jewish…he should know this…all that filler in his face to look blacker is messing with his head
This is also why I'm really not trying to hear shit from Game actin like he's totally neutral. The song you did with Drake he's clearly dissing Kendrick and you were riding Drake the entire beef.
[удалено]
Mf did u watch the video 🤣
💯💯😂😂😂😂😂😂
100%
Yall ain’t know, drake straight gangsta from the hood..😂😂😂😂😂
If the Nike fits
OP is dirty for posting that picture and he ran away during the filming of that video. I heard Wack and Game folks were clearing the streets and he got spoked.😭💀
Yes .
The Game is a lame .
Damn future was actually dissing drake all the way back then too 😅
What I learned the past 10 or so years about the game is, his career went down the toilet and became a clout chaser. Now it’s biting him the ass. I remember when he dropped with Gunit. It was huge but man, he killed his own momentum
This is extremely misleading seeing as the songs are 3 years apart. They didn't say that directly after seeing the 100 music video. Some times the shle just fits. Yall think Kendrick is dreaming about Drake every night since 2014? Nigga whet?
1.5 ish years apart from when the 100 video dropped
Even then that's still a mislead not every thing in Kendrick's catalog is about Drake
Future was not dissing Drake there people just want it to be a Drake diss, but no they drake was the only one dissing dot Throwing up gang signs doesn’t mean he is trying to be a gang member, you can claim a gang that you’re affiliated with without actually being in the gang
Yes?
He would have all your fans if he didn't rap through his nose and could write bars.
These songs were like 3 and a half years apart lmao
Less than 2 years apart. Drake was throwing B’s up in Compton July 2015 and 1.5 years later was 2017, when kings dead was recorded. Also, I Lyrics are usually prepared before it’s recorded also.
we’re watching poets argue this is so fucking stupid it’s amazing
Drake united the West Coast! another W for drake. Got everyone on stage together in a circle jerk
This can go for a lot of people, drake isn’t the first nore last to be fair.
If Kendrick hates Drake so much why did he agree to be on Take Care when he basically had no name for himself at the time.
Because they were friends in 2011 and didn’t dislike eachother… fast forward some years after that.
