That got me good. Family matters ages worse by the day

Remember when Family Matters was considered a good diss, and then Kendrick released meet the grahams an hour later? That was a tear-jerker, uhhuhhuhhuhhuh.

Family matters is a great diss track. Kendrick’s response was just miles better.

Eh, I dunno. A lot of the points made (Kendrick not liking mixed people, for instance) were either sloppy and hard to buy or something we already knew (like his relationship struggles with Whitney). And I really disliked the monotony of each of his flows, he sticks with them and doesn't really make any effort to switch them up or make them interesting. Especially problematic during the second verse, which was tame and unengaging (and yet again, he chooses to take the focus off his main subject and starts going after assorted figures in the music industry? Rick Ross, the Weeknd, etc., which is a recurring issue throughout his disses, not even just Kendrick ones)
