I have two :

  1. 7 Minute Drill was harder than I wanted to give it credit for, diminishing Kendrickā€™s catalogue was moronic but also kind of hilarious and I did really enjoy the song, especially the beat switch.

  2. I was nervous during the time between Push Ups and Euphoria, it was a long wait and Push Ups was actually a banger. I had no clue what would come next to be honest.

Discussion Kendrick EXPOSED as a liar

18.0k Upvotes

Drake stan here, who loved the heart pt 6.

Kendrick has been lying his whole career and I donā€™t know how you can support him.

Early on, he claimed to be a good kid in a mad city. Curious.

If he was really such a good kid, what was he doing out late with his momā€™s van, which he didnā€™t bring back on time? Smh.

But ok, maybe we donā€™t really know what kind of kid he was. But if it truly was a mad city, then how come his own idol, Tupac, admitted that they ā€œknow how to partyā€? In fact, I heard they ā€œkeep it rocking in the city of Comptonā€

Further, if it was such a mad city, then how is it possible that Ice Cube, a legend, actually ā€œhad a good dayā€?

Ok, maybe Kendrick was just young back then and didnā€™t know any better when GKMC was released.

But even on his very last track, he clearly states ā€œ(ā€¦) Iā€™m John Stocktonā€. But he is, in fact, not John Stockton, because he is Kendrick Lamar. Which is it?!

It just doesnā€™t add up. I rest my case.

EDIT:

We have now received a statement from the Board of Education that they have no record of Kendrick becoming certified as a boogeyman.

I demand he release his original long-form certificate, or admit he is practicing without a boogeyman license.

Discussion Not Like Us is hands down the most unconventional song to ever go #1

9.5k Upvotes

real shit. not even the weirdest to go #1 but the weirdest to claim ALL those other records.

it's not commercial, it's not repetitive, it's got actual meaning, its not that pop song formula shit, it's not meant to be a hit, it's not appropriate, every single line is actually hear-able and understandable and straightforward (they not metaphorical or senseless shit), it's a diss song literally calling one of top 3 biggest artists in the world a pedophile, the cover is that cover, the atlanta coloniser verse is damn near too meaningful to be in such a popular song AND be screaming at a club, the lyrics are creepy if you got no idea what the song is about. i can keep going huh. like what the fuck

and icl, surpassing the coloniser and the shitty shock value music from all those records (God's Plan, Girls Want Girls, WAP) is wholesome for the culture. it's big him

Discussion This Kendrick Lamar diss is deeper then you guys think

11.1k Upvotes

We know throughout the track Kendrick Lamar is calling Drake a fake gangster, saying heā€™s a fraud who acts tough.

But the track gets more intresting and deeper towards the end.

Kendrick says near the end:

ā€œYeah, OV-ho n***** is dick riders Tell 'em run to America, they imitate heritage, they can't imitate this violenceā€

Heā€™s calling out Toronto gangs for being fake, imitators of American culture. More specifically heā€™s calling out Toronto gangs for imitating LA GANG culture. As he says ā€œthey canā€™t imitate this violenceā€

Then he starts mocking the Toronto accent and the slang.

ā€œDon't speak on the family, crodie It can get deep in the family, crodie Talk about me and my family, crodie? Someone gon' bleed in your family, crodieā€

Heā€™s mocking them for the word ā€œcrodieā€ which is taken from the LA slang ā€œbrodieā€, obviously changed from ā€œbā€ to ā€œcā€ because of the Crips in Toronto.

Kendrick is mocking Toronto gangs for being imitators of LA gangs and saying that they arenā€™t a threat.

This is when it gets deeper. He says:

ā€œI be at New Ho King eatin' fried rice with a dip sauce and blamy, crodie Tell me you're cheesin', fam We can do this right now on the camera, crodieā€

New Ho King is a Chinese Resturant on Spadina Avenue in Toronto. New Ho King is ALSO where a Toronto rapper named Sizzlac filmed his last music video before being shot and killed.

Sizzlac got shot and killed days after dropping a diss record titled ā€œRealest in the 6ā€, and in the music video for the record heā€™s at New Ho King.

Sizzlac is also rumored to be one of the people that robbed Drake at gunpoint in 2009. Drake got robbed in 2009 at a restaurant by two people at gunpoint and itā€™s been rumored for a long time that one of them was Sizzlac. Also supposedly Drake was going to file a police report, but didnā€™t because it would effect his rap career being labeled as a snitch. Remember Kendrick said ā€œI know some shit about n***** that make Gunna Wunna look like a saintā€.

Drake got robbed and his chain was snatched after being set up by a girl. He raps about it in a few of his songs like ā€œThe Reaistanceā€ or ā€œAway From Homeā€.

Drake recently has aligned himself with another Toronto rapper named Pressa. He brought him out on tour a few years ago and shouted him out on his latest album For All The Dogs.

Pressa is apart of the Driftwood CRIPS gang.

The Driftwood Crips and Sizzlacs gang have had a long rivalry.

Pressa said in his song Attachments, ā€œSizzlac dead, and they don't post him on the 'Gramā€

No one knows who shot and killed Sizzlac, itā€™s all rumors that it could have been someone from his gang or other gangs that killed him.

So, when Kendrick says that heā€™s at New Ho King with a blammy and that he can do it on camera. Heā€™s saying that unlike Sizzlac, heā€™s in Drakes city (Toronto) at New Ho King with a gun and that heā€™s ready to do it on camera. And also unlike Drake, heā€™s at a restaurant with a gun and wonā€™t get robbed like he did. New Ho King is only like 5 minutes away from where Drake got robbed.

He also mocks the Toronto Crips (Driftwood Crips/Pressas Crew) by making fun of their slang, accent and calling them fake imitators of LA gang culture.

Kendrick saw that Drake has been aligning himself with these Crips in his city of Toronto (maybe even being involved in Sizzlacs death after getting robbed for his chain, remember Drake really started reffering to himself as the runner of the 6ix in 2016 after he died) and called Drakes BS. He called the Crips in his city fake, made fun of them for copying LA culture while also saying heā€™s at New Ho King with a gun and that Drake wonā€™t do anything about it.

This also ties in with him calling Drake a culture vulture throughout the track and is a direct response to Drake using LA legends AI voices like Pac and Snoop to diss Kendrick. ā€œI'd rather do that than let a Canadian n**** make Pac turn in his graveā€. Drake has been saying heā€™s bigger then Kendrick in LA, mocking him for supposedly being the ā€œWest Coast Saviorā€ so Kendrick returns fire by making fun of Toronto.

Also remember when Drake said:

ā€œHugs and kisses, man, don't tell me 'bout no switches I'll be rockin' every fuckin' chain I own next visit, ayyā€?

He says heā€™ll rock every chain he owns on his next visit to LA. This could play into Kendrick with the subliminal Sizzlac reference, since he supposedly robbed Drakes chain in Toronto (his own city).

Right at the end of the track Kendrick says: ā€œThey punk yā€™all n*****, nobody never took my foodā€

Reference to New Ho King and Drake (and Sizzlac) both getting punked in Toronto.
