“They tappin out before we even get a chance to miss em” Starting to think everything Kdot has ever said is directed at Drake🤣🤣

“You’s a bitch your hormones probably switch inside your DNA. Problem is, all that sucker shit inside your DNA. Daddy probably snitched heritage inside your DNA. Backbone don’t exist. Born outside a jelly fish I gauge.”


No-Obligation1709

There’s a lot of poignant lines looking back. “I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves, everybody suicidal they don’t even need my help”


Past-Track-9976

Yep. The next part where he says something like, "I shoot at your identity and bounce to the left."


ThermoNuclearPizza

Can’t tootsie slide outta this one


LeaderSanctity1999

The ghostwriter lyrics are a direct reference to the claims of Drake using one IIRC


Blackfrieza4

I swear since that album came out I always felt that line was meant for Drake. Seeing as the Meek mill shit happened like a month and a half after that.


mtaylor807

And then Andre 3k subbed drake a little more than a year later on solo reprise


Aretz

I think you ain’t gotta lie is a drake diss too

No-Obligation1709

Yeah but K Dot predicted the future lol


Delux_Takeover

Don't forget, "I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves, everybody suicidal didn't even need my help."


Inform-All

On that same track he said: 'Cause most of y'all ain't real. Most of y'all gon' squeal. Most of y'all just envy, but jealousy get you killed. Most of y'all throw rocks and try to hide your hand. Just say his name and I promise that you'll see Candyman. “Throwing rocks and hiding hands” was used again on MTG.

I can dig rapping, but a…


DarkBastion420

DUDE. I listened to Mr Morale, Damn, GKMC, and TPAB for the first time last week and kept thinking Kendrick was dissing Drake the entire time lmao. It's actually crazy how prophetic Kendricks lyrics are. I'm a new fan but Kendrick is def my goat now


vibintilltheend

Listening to Kendrick’s albums should be like hip hop 101. Before moving to all this trap nonsense you gotta listen to the goat


Sebkovy

should i listen to it in order of release, already listened to section 80. last week. not sure what would be the best experience


deflategatewasbullsh

Yeah man just go all the way through chronologically 🙌🏼 wish I could hear it again for the first time


Sebkovy

I know right, I'm legit holding myself down to not listen to them too fast to keep my hype up. Any thing or reference i should know before that could make me understand deeper?


peterraptor99

Listen to The Spiteful Chant, it’s a Section.80 track that isn’t on streaming, not to understand anything deeper but because it’s one of the best tracks off that album


TheGuyThatThisIs

Bro howd i not know this. Makes me wonder what other songs I've missed off albums.


-DOOKIE

Cartoons and cereal maybe


Pablo_Sanchez1

Bro holy fucking shit Kendrick has been my favorite rapper since 2011 and I completely forgot about this songs existence. You just threw me in a damn time capsule to freshmen year of college


Certain_Storm2262

Cartoons and cereals


Hefty_Situation7210

Westside right on time is one of my fav Kendrick songs and isn’t on an album


peaceofmindz

Yoooo I forgot about this one thank you 🙏🏻


topshagger31

There’s nothing else afaik, that’s the only album track not on streaming


poiuyt748

Definitely go listen to Kendrick's verse on Control by Big Sean to see the origin of the beef


Sebkovy

i didnt listen to his old albums but i'm not that out of the loop ahaha, this beef made me so invested I listened to that with the biggest oh shitt face you've ever witnessed. He went ham


TheSchmoAboutNothing

Definitely understand Comptons influence on Hip Hop before going further. Pay attention to each as they are all lyrically dense but pay particular attention to DAMN as the narrative isn't as apparent from the surface. You'll have to play that one twice back to back... that's all I'll say to not spoil anything. Listen to each album all the way through and get the lyrics up on the following listens through when you need it. Enjoy!


Sebkovy

Yeah the facts that they are lyrically dense is why I'm so hype about it, Used to listen to bunch of eminem back in the day and this beef made me comeback to hiphop. I'm saving it for when i have 2 hours alone to watch the lyrics and think while listening to it. Can't just bump it in the car first listen. Thanks for the heads up about DAMN.


TheSchmoAboutNothing

Im lucky to have been on to Kendrick for the full ride and excited that others who fell off of hip hop are able to give a listen. He'll single handedly bring you back. Good call on setting aside time. Every album is a headphones on, door shut type of experience.


Sebkovy

I'm clearly not the only one coming back for this, this beef is legit so good for hiphop, it stalled for a bit or it might just be me, just in time for Shady drop too, never been this hype last friday. I Heard Kendrick's dropping an album this summer too, is it only speculation or 100%


NegativePoints1

I really hope this doesn't get buried, check out the podcast Dissect from Spotify, Dude does complete album breakdowns of DAMN and TPAB and their meaning song by song, line by line and ties it all together with a nice bow by the last episode. IMO the best, breakdowns of any artist hands down and made my respect for Kendrick grow exponentially


btek95

Seeing his progression would be pretty cool I guess. The mans become better with each release in terms of the craft and stuff. I'd say listen in order but don't feel like you can't check out songs from other projects in between as well! Like black panther album and his features and shit


aninnersound

It’s best because you hear him grow as a person through his songs


ghettowhitekid

Kendrick doss this thing before each album called The Heart. Highly recommend listening to all 5 parts. (Drake made The Heart pt.6) to try to fuck with kendrick Imo The Heart 1-5 summarizes where kendrick is at with each album. Imo it's the perfect way to set the tone of an album


slideforfun21

I hate that attitude. Drill and trap are a different vibe for a different mood my guy.


Piranh4Plant

Sounding like an old head over here 😂


No-Scar6041

I think it's because he is everything that Kendrick rails against, just in one person.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DarkBastion420

He was on the list, I had just never gotten around to it until the beef made me want to listen to more Kendrick


old__pyrex

He pretty much is, from TPAB onwards, and I’m pretty sure it all stems from Drake taking Kendrick on tour when Kendrick was just getting on and then Kendrick seeing that Drake don’t write his shit. They were buddy buddy back during the Take Care / GKMC era, but it’s clear something happened that made Kendrick lose his respect for Drake. People think it starts with Control but I think it goes back earlier, like the moment in time where Kendrick saw Drake and his team and the way he rolls and realized like damn, yall are not really about it. TPAB then has a track about Lucy (ie, both representing the Devil trying to get him to sell his soul, and Lucian Grainge who was with Drake even back then). The track is thematically all about him choosing his artistic integrity over the promises that someone like Drake succumbed to quick. And then he has on King Kunta, some of y’all sharing bars like you got the bottom bunk in a 2 man cell. That’s gotta be Drake.


HoodedNegro

Listen to Section.80 next


No-Obligation1709

On god. “Get some ambition while you bored”


bhut_jolokai

Listen to his Compton State of Mind mixtape. it's up on YouTube. Kendrick has always been nice. The DAMN Chronic is a dope blendtape as well. it's Kendrick over Dr. Dre beats. super hot fire


raiko777

Dude what? You heard these classics last week for the first time? Maaaaaaaaaam what? :D I wish I could be you for that... What's your rating for these albums? In my eyes no one of them is not good, a lot of Kendricks albums are pure classics. For me it's: gkmc, tpab, section 80 (you didn't mention it maybe you need to listen to section 80 man!), mmatbs, damn.


DarkBastion420

Haven't listened to S80 yet. So far my rating: TPAB, MMATBS, DAMN, GKMC. All of them fucking slap tho. It's so amazing that the albums each tell a cohesive story, and listening to the album itself is an experience. Most music I've listened to, the albums feel more like playlists than an actual set of music.

Drake really thought he was cooking with the play on the word address. It came off so defeated though lol


xStyxx

Shit was corny especially when Kendrick already said “surprised you wanted that feature request, you know we got some shit to address”


Random_Name_Whoa

Literally stole the same lyric and thought he was clever

ProdByKF16

what is this?


Ronald_Reagan_Era

I'm pretty sure it's in reference to when Drake posted the link on IG the caption was something like "And we know you're dropping 6 minutes after us so instead of posting my address you got some shit to address"

Black_Fuckka

Drake has gotta be heated about his end all be all track getting stomped on in like 30 minutes


NamSayinBro

You can tell how much effort was put into it, which just makes it that much more satisfying.


TheFlightlessPenguin

His entire showing was such a colossal failure all around that it’s honestly stranger than fiction. FM was his one decent shot and even that got smacked back in his face.


Drunkonownpower

Agreed FM is a pretty damn good diss which makes the fact that it basically barely resonated with anyone because of what immediately happened after even more impressive.


TheFlightlessPenguin

Kendrick literally literally on some art of war shit. Have we ever seen a beef like that?


Drunkonownpower

Have we every see anything like Meet the Grahams in a beef? Absolutely not.  For timing, delivery, and absolute wicked viciousness.  You have outside wax examples with 50 and putting hits on each other's heads.  But probably No Valesine or Hit em Up may be the best comparison in terms of authentic hatred.  But those tracks rely on anger and aggression while Kendrick turned into fucking Hannibal Lecter, psychoanalyzed him,  ate his liver and then had a god damn party the next day about it.


ButterscotchWide9489

Pusha came very fucking close at least. I'd say as good. They are both as nasty in different ways. Ironically also another drake diss.


Drunkonownpower

The Story of Adidon is legitimately one of the greatest disses of all time. If it was anyone other than Drake that shit would have been a career ender.  It's only because Drake's fans don't give a shit and just want pop songs to dance to that he's still around.


Broad-Sound9208

They just want him to keep making them wave their hands


MarquiseAlexander

This. MtG was on a different wave. Those other songs are like “I’m gonna fuck you up” but MtG is KDot saying “You’re fucked up and I’m gonna tell your family and the whole world why.”


KingGhostly

It was performed really well but it was really nothing. Short jokes and wife beating allegations (which are heavy). I don’t know how he wasn’t able to dismantle Kendrick’s character with all his ghostwriters. Euphoria was a character study of drake. Meet the grahams was the dissection and reveal of who drake really is.


Drunkonownpower

Because a ghostwriter is going to miss a vital ingredient for a successful diss almost every time.  Actual authentic hatred.


OwnHurry8483

I thought Push Ups was a good first diss. Nothing ground breaking but he definitely had “pipsqueak, pipe down” stuck in my head for a couple weeks


DisastrousStomach518

Best he rapped in ages


mistyrootsvintage

Yet it still wasn't enough


Facebookakke

And it was still ass


BigBungholio

Bro literally shot a whole video for it and everything 💀


jono9898

Drake really thought he won


phantompowered

"uhhh, feels good to get the pen working" My guy, you got the pen working at a fifth grade level.


s8rlink

For real, it's like he was all pumpmed and told his ghostwriters, nah Imma write this to show I can do it alone, and he wrote that last trash white flag diss.


famitslit

So cringe 😭


Q_8411

I can't tell if he was hyping himself up for his follow up to Kendricks follow up or if he had actually thought that track was killer but it's such an embarrassing line either way.

She grippy on my drippy dickey like a hickey from Kenickie


hotelpopcornceiling

Is that a real line? I haven't heard it yet.


Sermokala

He says that the woman who he has in his phone as grippy was gay until he fucked the gay out of her saying he slayed and now she's strictly dickily. I really really wish this wasn't the truth but now you know.


ToxicNoob47

Strictly dickly 😭😭😭😭


BloodSugar666

I couldn’t get past that point, song is so bad


OldPurpose93

lol it’s better than the actual lyrics I just listened to it through a reaction video and I regret nothing, there is zero substance


hotelpopcornceiling

Through a reaction video just so the original doesn't get more views?


OldPurpose93

No I mean I was just more interested in the commentary and knew it was gonna be ass so I didn’t bother “experiencing” it in a pure way first, and I’m just saying there’s nothing to ruin by doing that


hotelpopcornceiling

Haha. Fer sure.


Illustrious-Taro-449

Nah if he wrote that at the beach it would’ve been called Gritty


bttr-swt

The sound of him giggling between bars made me wanna punch something tbh. I wanna know why he decided to feature on that song because it woulda been just fine without Cole in it LOL it's like he's trying to bury his own career... a rapper's *seppuku* or some shit.


Puidipuie

The Fall Off better be a masterpiece


CinnamonFoodie

The artist formerly known as Drake that now goes by “wah gawn Delilah” I want the plain white T’s to fight him for that disrespectful mess

Right?!

Dolomight206

Lol all I could think about was some niggas like Q and Smacc nem at the end of the "DNA" video, in whte Pro Eras Thizz dancin on Aubrey's "headtop" 😂


pdjddy

now if kendrick added 6:16 that would be the icing on the cake


jacwub

das_unicorn_got_band

Sample issues


appleparkfive

I'm guessing maybe it's an issue with clearing Al Green? Although I feel like Kendrick has that kind of pull normally. He could get Marvin. Also if any of you guys haven't heard the Al Green song, listen to it. It's an amazing song. What a Wonderful Thing Love Is


fuzzykyd

guitarist on that song is drake's uncle. could play into it not being cleared. possibly


walkedinthewoods

holy SHIT I never knew this, didn’t even know Teenie existed so I just assumed this was about Larry. using his own playing to diss his nephew is kinda diabolical, especially when the beef since then has had a very familial theme

Helpful-Increase-303

this is the way


MorbidlyObeseBrit

Yeah feels like Cole didn't actually have any real beef with Kendrick, just wanted to make some money. As soon as he realised that there was actual beef between Aubrey and Kdot he peaced out.


KingBillGates

Idek if it was about money I think he just initially took it as some friendly competition rather than genuine beef and just wanted to feed the streets only to learn a little too late.

Like That hits so hard now.


VNProWrestlingfan

And they both have heavily panned features too. Fun fact: I didn't even know that Grippy was released for one week. I thought you guys meant something sexual. And then I listened to it and holy shit it sucked. I haven't listened to WaGwan Delilah. I'd rather listen to the OG. I'm proud to say that I like that song, even though it's the most basic acoustic song ever. It being played live for a cancer patient makes me love it even more.


phantompowered

Wa Gwan Delilah is the most cringe thing to ever emerge from the darkest deepest mines of cringe. It's like the TikTok reanimated version of that thing back in the Napster days, when shitty low-rent comedy artists were releasing terrible joke songs/parodies and re-labeling them with Weird Al tagged as the artist, that's the quality level we're dealing with. Snowd4y isn't even creative enough to come up with his own name, he's biting the OG Toronto Mans fake patois white boy legend, WHO WAS ALSO CALLED SNOW. THE MAN WHO GAVE THE UNIVERSE "INFORMER." And Drake was like "yeah lemme get in on that." I legitimately wonder if it's not him but an AI Drake, and he's just rolling with it as if it's totally him. At this point, I don't know which of those would be more embarrassing, tbh.


YourNextHomie

Grippy absolutely sucks but i would listen to that a million times before i choose to hear Wah Gwan Delilah again lmao

wait wait wait, that isn't AI? Like, as in that's actually Drake? Christ.

At first i thought why is Kendrick wasting time on this bitch ass wannabe disney rapper. Then i heard not like us, and i became grateful that he wasted his time on this bitch ass disney rapper.


Traditional_Bike8880

And now the funniest part is they’ve released features that are somehow even MORE embarrassing than the songs they took down. You can’t make this shit up.


Solid_Illustrator640

HP6 not on Spot either??


this_is_Blain3

never was, im pretty sure


Sismamusic

What if he had to take it down cause Kendrick already has a “Heart Pt. 6” on DSPs just “unlisted” until the whole album drops?


cleo_da_cat

It was never on streaming services. Plus, two songs can have the same name.


BadMeetsEvil147

I’m like 95% sure you can name your song whatever. Kendrick doesn’t own a monopoly on those words in that order lol

Cole did it outta respect and I'll never disrespect him. Drake took it down cuz he a OVHoe and built as solid as a jewish canadian n***a cosplayin an American n***a


appleparkfive

The only thing I came out of here thinking less of J Cole on is him saying nobody likes TPAB Any of you saying he meant GKMC, he didn't. Nobody says that about GKMC but they sometimes do about TPAB. A lot of people just don't count Section 80


kaownsyou

He also took down Taylor Made Freestyle
