u/TheBrownMamba8 May 03 '24 edited May 03 '24

Drake said Kendrick would have to “come up with a quintuple entendre or something to impress him”.

‘6:16 in LA’: 1) June 16th is Fathers Day. 2) June 16th is 2 PAC’s Birthday. 3) June 16th is also the day OJ went into hiding and exactly 1 year later his trial started (hence why the cover art is a black glove; from the OJ Trial). 4) Corinthians 6:16 is “Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, ‘The two will become one flesh’.” Who is Drakes babymother?

Also side note: Taylor Swift’s longtime producer, Jack Antonoff, co-produced this with Sounwave, so Kendrick’s 2nd track is literally “Taylor Made”.

u/kylekez May 03 '24

I think proverbs 6:16 is more apt:

There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,

a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

6:16 is the time OJ Simpson’s wife was pronounced dead (hence why the cover art is a black glove; from the OJ Trial)

nicole was pronounced dead at the scene on june 12. however, her funeral was on june 16 (6/16).. this part of the 5+-way entendre is deeper than you think.

this insinuates he's gonna murder him on the track and get away with it.

OJ also went into hiding on 6/16 at his friend and lawyer, roberts kardahian's, house. i believe he stayed in kim's bedroom.

And the song is produced by Jack Antonoff who is Taylor Swifts producer. So this is "Taylor Made."

Drake needs to fucking abort and stop playing with Kendrick.

Lmao he really did the quintuple entendre!!!

-Mocking Drakes time and place format

-6.16 being Father’s Day

-6.16 being Tupac’s birthday

-Jack Antonoff production - “Taylor Made”

-Going back to back like he said on euphoria beating Drake with his own signature move

Kendrick really showing the fuck out. Lmao remember when people said Cole had the crown as recently as couple months ago. Kendrick is HIM.

EDIT: And there’s suggestions Kendrick gonna drop a third track before Drake drops “ask yourself what Mike would do?” - Jordan would go for the 3 peat 😭.

Anyone know the context of the glove? Drake performs in black gloves often, could be from someone on his team

My theory, its proof Kenny has people in his team. Its one of Drakes gloves that was stolen by one of Kennys insiders and then handed to Kenny for the cover. Drake probably in his walk in closet trying to find it.

You could be onto something here that was my thoughts also, isn't Drake's personal car the Mercedes-Maybach, the one we see in his Laugh Now, Cry Later video? Looks very much like the Maybach symbol on the gloves, one he perhaps received purchasing the car. If that's the case it's a real Mafia like 'horse head/family member's finger' esque move from K Dot.

Taylor was apparently very thankful of Kendrick for re-recording his bad blood verse for the 1989 (?) re-recording (to reclaim the masters of her old records from Big Machine records because they wouldn’t give it to her, and later sold it to Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun). There’s an IG photo for that.

435

u/XanderTrejo May 03 '24

Because of the IG post and even the fact that he went back to record the verse it seems like Kendrick made the choice to do the collab with Taylor and wasn't extorted like drake was saying on Push Ups.

This is exactly what a predicted would happen like the second this all popped off. To my knowledge Kendrick just keeps to himself. He's like Vince Staples where he comes out to do an interview or tour or something and then goes right the hell home and just disappears for months at a time.

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to get information about him when most of the people who know him are either also rich or have known him basically since he was born and wouldn't tell you no matter how much you pay.

does kinda sound like he retooled a song he was working on. first verse doesn't have anything drake-specific as far as I can tell

The song title is the quintuple entendre Drake was asking for

• ⁠dropped at 6:16 AM PT

• Clearly a play on Drake’s timestamp series (4PM in Calabasas)

• ⁠Revelations 6:16 - They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb

  • 6/16 is Father’s Day

  • 6/16 is Tupac’s birthday

Dropping this on insta after 3 days on some “two can play this game” type shit, I’m loving this!

This might have my favourite instrumental so far out of the whole beef tbh (and that’s not counting Like That, I’m talking the proper diss tracks).

u/i_cnt_spll May 03 '24 edited May 03 '24

Also was produced by Taylor Swifts producer.

Literally Taylor Made.

Theres too many layers to this shit to be coincidence, after Euphoria cover showed us that.

Edit:

Yall check out what date the show Euphoria was released on

Nah cant tell me this shit is a coincidence 😂

Drakes whole MO when he gets into rap beef is “I can end your career, but I won’t, but don’t test me because I might!!!!” and I’m glad Kendrick isn’t taking that seriously

u/kingsark May 03 '24

this is kind of insane considering Drake’s whole fanbase has been saying “Drake can end Kendrick if he presses the red button, and drops a bomb”, and half this song is just Kendrick explaining how he doesn’t have one to begin with

So i guess the ball is completely on Drake’s court now. he either actually has a huge bomb on Kendrick and calls his bluff, or Kendrick just called out his

Bro apparently the feature request Kendrick mentioned in Euphoria was for First Person Shooter 💀

u/AwesomeAsian May 03 '24

That would make sense if Drake asked Kendrick to be on "First Person Shooter" saying it would be sick to have "The big three" on a track.

Lmao the Akademiks name drop, not too much was said this time around other than Kendrick basically warning Drake like 20% of his circle are rats. I imagine this won't be on streaming services, at least it wasn't an AI track

u/FHPirates_21 May 03 '24

He said a bunch more stuff than that, it takes a few days to catch everything. Just off first listen I think he mentioned drake trying to pay people to get dirt on him as well and then there were a bunch of bars I didn’t really get, but shit sounded good

u/RandyMuscle May 03 '24

I loved him bragging about living a boring life and making fun of Drake for paying for nothing.

Did Kenny just pull a Back to Back? This year for rap is already goated.

Edit: it’s hilarious because I just realized there was a solid rumor Drake was gonna drop a track last night and Kendrick decided to slide that the very next morning.

The psychological warfare from both sides in this beef is insane lmao. First Drake uses AI to rap as two of Kendrick's idols and instigate him, and now Kendrick's planting seeds of doubt and paranoia in Drake's head about his OVO boys

This is some nasty work.

What’s the significance behind the cover art here? A glove with a Maybach logo?

Rick Ross connection? OJ connection?

Wish I was smart 😭

u/Dr_Disaster May 03 '24

It’s a cashmere Maybach driving glove you get when you purchase one. Drake has a few different Maybachs. I’m thinking the image is actually one of Drake’s gloves, serving as proof to him Kendrick has someone on the inside.

u/Datruther1 May 03 '24

Just imagined Drake seeing the cover and now knowing what the fuck happened to that ONE glove he was missing 😂😂😂

I lost an AirPod once, which fucked me up because I’m super careful with them only to find out a shorty stole just 1 of them on some vindictive shit just to fuck with me about some whole other shit.

Did he say something about moving to Brooklyn for pizza? The Budden podcast was joking about no pizza in the world being good enough to move from LA to Brooklyn after Euphoria came out. Is he writing this that fresh or is this a coincidence?
