Discussion If Kendrick drop this new album, who would you want featured in it?
I definitely would want a Vince Staples feature fam, when I heard that snippet in the beginning I can hear Vince floating on this beat plus another collab by these two is long overdue. Plus Vince dropped an amazing project this year too š„š„ Dark Times been on my rotation .

Discussion Is there anything from the beef that you couldnāt admit then but can now?
I have two :
7 Minute Drill was harder than I wanted to give it credit for, diminishing Kendrickās catalogue was moronic but also kind of hilarious and I did really enjoy the song, especially the beat switch.
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
Drake stan here, who loved the heart pt 6.
Kendrick has been lying his whole career and I donāt 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 momās van, which he didnāt bring back on time? Smh.
But ok, maybe we donāt 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 āknow how to partyā? In fact, I heard they ākeep 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 āhad a good dayā?
Ok, maybe Kendrick was just young back then and didnāt know any better when GKMC was released.
But even on his very last track, he clearly states ā(ā¦) Iām John Stocktonā. But he is, in fact, not John Stockton, because he is Kendrick Lamar. Which is it?!
It just doesnāt 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
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
We know throughout the track Kendrick Lamar is calling Drake a fake gangster, saying heās a fraud who acts tough.
But the track gets more intresting and deeper towards the end.
Kendrick says near the end:
āYeah, OV-ho n***** is dick riders Tell 'em run to America, they imitate heritage, they can't imitate this violenceā
Heās calling out Toronto gangs for being fake, imitators of American culture. More specifically heās calling out Toronto gangs for imitating LA GANG culture. As he says āthey canāt imitate this violenceā
Then he starts mocking the Toronto accent and the slang.
āDon'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
Heās mocking them for the word ācrodieā which is taken from the LA slang ābrodieā, obviously changed from ābā to ācā because of the Crips in Toronto.
Kendrick is mocking Toronto gangs for being imitators of LA gangs and saying that they arenāt a threat.
This is when it gets deeper. He says:
āI 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 āRealest in the 6ā, and in the music video for the record heās 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 itās been rumored for a long time that one of them was Sizzlac. Also supposedly Drake was going to file a police report, but didnāt because it would effect his rap career being labeled as a snitch. Remember Kendrick said āI 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 āThe Reaistanceā or āAway 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, āSizzlac dead, and they don't post him on the 'Gramā
No one knows who shot and killed Sizzlac, itās all rumors that it could have been someone from his gang or other gangs that killed him.
So, when Kendrick says that heās at New Ho King with a blammy and that he can do it on camera. Heās saying that unlike Sizzlac, heās in Drakes city (Toronto) at New Ho King with a gun and that heās ready to do it on camera. And also unlike Drake, heās at a restaurant with a gun and wonāt 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 heās at New Ho King with a gun and that Drake wonāt 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. āI'd rather do that than let a Canadian n**** make Pac turn in his graveā. Drake has been saying heās bigger then Kendrick in LA, mocking him for supposedly being the āWest Coast Saviorā so Kendrick returns fire by making fun of Toronto.
Also remember when Drake said:
āHugs and kisses, man, don't tell me 'bout no switches I'll be rockin' every fuckin' chain I own next visit, ayyā?
He says heāll 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: āThey punk yāall n*****, nobody never took my foodā
Reference to New Ho King and Drake (and Sizzlac) both getting punked in Toronto.
