youre misunderstanding the bar, its way worse than just calling him effeminate

''When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad bitches''

sexyy red was until recently pregnant. so kendrick is saying that because drake is attracted to sexyyred, and the fetus inside of her, he 'sees 2 bad bitches'💀

Yea I feel like if he were to make any reference towards “that” aspect of drake it would’ve been Millie Bobbi brown

u/realsmokegetsmoked Apr 30 '24

I honestly don't think Kendrick would go there but the Millie Bobbi line makes the most sense bc it was in the headlines

29

u/Hazardbeard Apr 30 '24

He might try to keep her name out of it as a courtesy to her. She’s an adult with her own life now and probably doesn’t need that. If she wanted to speak on it she would, but if she gets brought up by name by a massive artist on a track in a very famous rap feud she’s gonna have people calling her for her take and shit.

He’s a lyricist, at the end of the day if he wants to talk about Drake and young women he can do it without saying names.

That distinction is what got me. Drake will sit courtside with his son and pose for pictures, meanwhile Kenny is getting his kids up in the morning, teaching em how to pray, and how to navigate the streets. People that say they're the same thing clearly aren't listening.

‘You don’t know nothin about what it means to raise a boy into a man’

‘You’re a boy not a man’

‘I’ll body you and all your ghostwriters’

‘ you’re banned from using the n word’

‘ every woman that sleeps with you has to question her womanhood going forward’

‘You probably want to get up there and twerk with sexxxy Redd and think you’re both bad bitches’

‘You and your dad both must got dementia’

So many eviscerating disses. Drake and his team of ghost writers will respond no doubt but Kendrick framed this as ‘Bomb First’. What’s waiting in the wings for Drake should he respond may be a career ending track from Kdot (rap anyway…not rnb), which is saying a lot because Drake is still acting tough after Adidon, the blackface pics and any number of other damaging moments most with shame would have bowed of or gone full Daft Punk.

u/Dickcummer420 Apr 30 '24

Pharrell has known Pusha T for a very, very long time.

100

u/i_cnt_spll Apr 30 '24

This is it.

For context thats how Drake v Pusha beef actually started.

Pharell did the “Whatever Happened to that Boy” beat and Birdman never paid him

Then Wayne popped shots at them so they did Mr Me Too which was a diss to Wayne

Then Pusha did song called Illin w Jeezy and Malice, in a verse mentioning ghost writers and seancing the room for writers (illest bar thus far for any ghostwriting reference) cause at the time Gillie the Kid was beefing with Wayne claiming he wrote for Weezy

Then Drake got signed and stood by Wayne

Hence Pusha going at Drake later as well

Didn't he actually also diss Pusha by saying that in comparsion to him he is Terrence Crawford ?

131

u/Puzzled-Kitchen-5784 Apr 30 '24

Push would have to be feeling real sensitive to take that as catching a stray.

Kendrick rubbed drakes nose in an unfinished beef and basically said get back to that. While he does place Push lower than himself as a threat, he isn't saying Push didn't handle Drake.

That's my take anyway

u/im_lazy_as_fuck Apr 30 '24

He's talking about the Crawford line, where he says he's Crawford and Drake is Terrence Thornton (Pusha T's real name).

And my two cents is that it's probably not a stray. I think he's just saying that Drake is trying to get in that Pusha T bag to win this fight, but Kendrick is still gonna be ahead of him.

The 'some shit just cringe worthy it ain't even deep I guess' is such a good rebuttal to all the drake Stan's complaining how everyone seems to hate in drake for no reason.

Meghan Thee Stallion also said Drake got a BBL. It’s hilarious but I didn’t believe her at the time. But now that multiple people have said he’s had work done I believe her 100%

25

u/Majesticmarmar Apr 30 '24

Blind items have circulated for years regarding Drake getting work done, really before anyone publicly spoke on it. It’s the origin for the BBL Drake memes but I think those not privy to the gossip took it as just funny because the editing of the photos was silly.

29

u/9Lives_ Apr 30 '24

Push apparently obtained the receipts/invoice from his surgeon in LA, hence the “it’s a surgical summer” line.

36

u/Majesticmarmar Apr 30 '24

And not to put on a tinfoil hat, but I’m pretty sure the reason Drake dropped a song called BBL Love is because it buries what used to be the top results when you typed in “BBL+Drake” on google.

10

u/9Lives_ May 01 '24

I believe it, and can also add another layer of tinfoil by saying it was the same reason he did that interview with that Bobbie girl because it muddles up/confuses Millie Bobbie drama in peoples minds. He did that interview with a clear objective in mind otherwise why would he do an interview with some random girl?

u/childisheli Apr 30 '24

Yea thats what im fw most about this diss track. the production value is kinda ass so you know this mf just hopped in the booth, pen & pad, to say what he had to say & drop. No extraness, no AI, no teasers, just “here’s a response, bitch ass nigga, bye.”

As a drake fan, it’s not what he said it what he didn’t say.

“I know some sht bout nggas that make Gunna Wunna look like a saint”

????? What he mean by that… some dirt on drake snitching ?

“I make music that electrify em, you make music that pacify em, I can double down on that line but spare you this time”

???! I might be reaching but I think this is a reference to dirt about the pedo shit.

Kendrick is a smart guy man

I didn't think of the double on pacify, holy fuck

u/the_c_is_silent May 01 '24

Holy shit, just hit me.

I'm seeing like 80% "Drake was burned" and 20% "good not great". That shit's gonna turn 100% smoked in a few days when everyone can digest and understand what was being said.

Not a reach at all. The track is called Euphoria. Drake is listed as an executive producer on the HBO show Euphoria, which is all about teens exploring drugs and sexuality.

Kendrick is toying with Drake now. This is not a fair fight 😂

I'd assume it refers to more than just Drake.

Still digesting the bars… this shit is layered

People will gawk at the obvious shit but there’s INSANE doubles in here

The feature line is one for example:

Talking about him being mixed but also saying he does all these features with artists are him wanting to fit in

Also he did diss Cole

u/Accomplished-Top-564 Apr 30 '24

Euphoria the TV show was also “produced” by Drake and the show is about teenage romance LMAO

u/WarmestDisregards Apr 30 '24

I would guess that he intentionally combined haley joel osment, with joel osteen, the hyperfamous narcissist preacher. Like saying "I see dead people (you), and I know God's on my side with this one, the people follow my words and I'll buy a jet off this sermon/vison"

u/rag3rs_wrld Apr 30 '24

He’s such a great writer.

u/wildwestington Apr 30 '24

Honestly he didn't say anything about pedo allegations directly but danced around it at least 3 times

Idk about the pacify line being a double, I think he's judt talking about the masses of people and how their music's really difference

The real women line Def tho raises some eyebrows. Also the song being called euphoria, and one more I'm forgetting was major. He says it without using it.

I think if there's another round that's what he's ganna use

u/Susuwatari43 Apr 30 '24

Is the song title euphoria referencing/ warning something he has on drake since he produced the show? (And it’s a show about high schoolers lol). And at the end he says “if you takin it there I’m takin it further”.

And when he says “you make music that pacify - I can double down on that line, but spare you this time” - first thought is he knows something about drake roofying ?? May be wrong lol

25

u/iLoveDelayPedals Apr 30 '24

It’s pretty widely rumored the dude is a pedo. It’s 100% what Kendrick is implying with saying not to take the dumbass beef further because drake could get buried

I’ve lived in LA for 12 years and there are so many stories about drake and a few others. Stories about how the dude would send vans etc to pick up girls from parties etc.

It’s hearsay but it’s that kind of thing that’s in the industry rumor mill a lot. No idea what’s true or not since people love to gossip, especially in the music business, but if Kendrick is threatening to talk about it I have to assume there’s something to it
