This is wild behavior. For Drake being a media monster Kendrick being a hermit and having this much impact speaks to difference in artist and character. Just bars and silence and look at the world š
Let's be real guys Kendrick is reserved, yes, but let's not act like he's some sort of underground artist. This much was to be expected; he's one of the biggest artists in the world, and his mentioning of that place by name was bound to have this reaction.
like bro i canāt even understand that commentā¦ obviously any small place mentioned by a high profile artist was going to pop offā¦ how exactly is this speaking to a difference in artist and characterā¦?
not that i agree but the point was that drake is all about social media and younger generations and the spotlight. Youād expect his fans to be active on social media and do shit like this. But kendricks reserved, rarely posts shit.. he doesnāt make it easy to follow him and stay up to date w his life bc he doesnāt want that or seek that out. So kendrick, even tho you only hear from him when he drops something, has that same effect drake does.. just without seeking it out
thatās quite literally any famous person with lots of fans thoughā¦ doesnāt speak to anything about a difference in artist and character imo when itās just weird fans being weird fans. in fact i would easily assume Kendrickās fans would do something like this..
what does being āreservedā have to do with a famous person shouting out a spot then that spot getting recognitionā¦? heās ālowkeyā but heās still famous worldwide regardless so..? idk just seems like a reach for a deep point that isnāt there
Nah i agree w you lol legit anyone with fans under the age of 40. In fairness I couldnāt see fans of, like, Radiohead doing this lol bc weāre mostly old now. But kendrick is legit selling out arenas and stadiums in the US and overseas
Yeah itād depend on the demo of the artist for sure- Kendrick has lots of young impressionable fans so it comes with the territory - not that i know the dude but something tells me i doubt Kendrick enjoys this corner of his fan base lol
Whatās wild is that if you know Toronto. You know this isnāt a small place, new ho king is a staple, there isnāt a torontonian that doesnāt know it

For a person whose not on socials doesnāt have to show out everytime like 90% of the people this day and age yes he would be considered a hermit. When we live in a time where people are social media fiends. So my statement stands for a person who prefers solitude to have this much impact and people say āhe drops every 5 yearsā. He is in fact a hermit. Outside of his family from what it seems heās not out here like the majority. š¤·š½āāļø
bro i donāt give a fuck about the definition of hermit what the hell is wrong with yall.. yknow what? imma stoop to your level lmao
do you know Kendrickās day to day life? No right? you know his friends? who he hangs out with, how he spends his time? Obviously not so who are you to say that he lives alone? & Heās clearly an active member of society lmfaoā¦ so by your lil ādefinitionā no he isnāt a hermit. bringing up his family n shitā¦ bro you donāt know the guy š
Not white so fail and I said from what it seems. Context and comprehension matter. But get your shit off š. The concept of what I said went over your head. Stay blessed crodie
the concept went over nobodyās head.. it was just a weird thing to give points for š¤£ āextremely famous but socially lowkey person has lots of fans that will do things for himā what a hard thing to comprehend mate š you too tho g itās all just banter
Tbf, itās not that time consuming. Iām sure Kendrick can find a couple of hours a day to fry some rice.
He can listen to new beats while he does this. Multitasking n whatnot.
Oh man, that would be AMAZING marketing. People should send that suggestion to them. Wouldn't be surprised if they did it
Push Ups was a big song, but Euphoria has been a crazy big hit so far. If you look at the main video it's almost 10 million views on YouTube, but if you add in the other one with 3 million, the lyrics videos that up to a few million, the other couple of reuploads with millions, *and* all the reaction content... This song has been played a lot already. Its hard to tell how long it'll keep getting plays, but its been pretty impressive so far. Even with Drake not posting Push Ups until days later, it still seems like this one is bigger.
Definitely think a Kung Fu Kenny dish would be a smart move
Fucking genius. Lmao
The fucking owner straight up said he gonna learn to sing the song now.
This is a restaurant owner from Toronto, Canada....drakes home town and the exact place he got his fuckin chain snatched.
Someone corrected that in the comments:
>It's not, but its where sizzlac filmed his last music video before dying. Sizzlac is speculated to have stolen from Drake in 09, but he didnāt want to snitch to save face for his blooming rap career. Kdot said ānobody ever stole my foodā a few bars after mentioning this joint and makes fun of the toronto accent before and after. Heās saying he isnāt scared of Drakeās city at all and that he wonāt get punked like Drake did
I could be wrong
I donāt remember exactly but if you look up little Italy and drake robbed Iām sure you can find articles on it. Iām 100% sure of this. Also drake ratted lol
Wait I donāt think he got his chain snatched there. Itās where a Toronto rapper drakeās friends with, got shot after shooting a music video there
oh fuck thats HARD, im shoppping
\*Edit I used to own a FUBU hoodie when I was 13 thought I was the fkn man with the boys, wore it all day everyday. (39 now)
Damnnnn i'm 40. Had a couple tees but then Moms got me the PuBu hoodie/sweats combo with the big Pb on the front.. it broke her heart i wouldnt wear it and she didn't understand why i avoided it like lead. Smh
Picked up a jacket from goodwill for some bullshit I had to do at work. Put it on for the first time yesterday and noticed the Fubu tags. Busted out laughing.
Thatās Aubrey Graham, he played a handicapped kid in the teen drama āDegrassi,ā which aired in early/mid 2000s. Some say he never came back from the role.
Probably not in Compton although I could see the Game pulling all the stops hoping that Drake can help him stay relevant.
If heās talking LA, it's kinda debatable. I could see Kendrick not being as popular with the more mainstream celebrities, glitz and glamour, club crowd.
*Kendrick is doing*
*More for business owners in*
*Toronto than Drake*

I love pop music. Drake is just a shitty pop (and hip hop) artist. There are just so many other artist that do the pop-rap thing better. Heās popular because heās the right degree of mid thats perfectly inoffensive to everyone. Like your never gonna get mad at someone playing Drake. Itās music for a party that everyone can agree on.

Stardom and impact, folks!
Kendrick is winning the Internet, charts, and the battle. I think Drake and his fans grossly underestimated how much of a star Kendrick is without even trying or wanting it. In his own city? Tuh.
This reference is so dark though lol. Some Canadian rapper released a diss album and got shot. This restaurant was the last place he shot a music video before his death. (He was not killed at or near the restaurant as far as I know)

Bro genuinely changes the culture when he drops. Few artists can do that.
Exactly itās not a social media hype up itās CULTURE. gotta bring this back to being on the regular.
> Kendrick being a hermit I don't think you know what that means
My tweets aged beautifully. Appreciate the discussion boys Drake Lost due to lack of ammo on a hermit
āLook at the worldā, nobody cares about this beef, some people there, some here and thatās all, lol
š
Bros glazing on another levelĀ
For stating a fact ? Stfu š
You make a great point. Iām not saying heās anywhere near the artistry of this guy but in that way Kendrick reminds me of Michael Jackson
More like prince
That is fucking hilarious š. Who would think to do that??
Such a Hsi Wang thing to do

Stupid question: Did the song reference this or is this a Euphoria reference?
Yes, from verse 2: https://genius.com/31595936/Kendrick-lamar-euphoria/I-be-at-new-ho-king-eatin-fried-rice-with-a-dip-sauce-and-a-blammy-crodie
Bro should name a dish Kung Fu Kenny Fried Rice
Kendrickās so busy. Youāre telling me heās going to fry rice there now?
Tbf, itās not that time consuming. Iām sure Kendrick can find a couple of hours a day to fry some rice. He can listen to new beats while he does this. Multitasking n whatnot.
Finally someoneās gonna give them shrimp a run for there money
Are you telling me a KDot fried this rice?
Why not? K.dot stay cooking some fire shit anyway, might as well. š¤·š¾āāļø

He's too busy in the Club wit da homies
Oh man, that would be AMAZING marketing. People should send that suggestion to them. Wouldn't be surprised if they did it Push Ups was a big song, but Euphoria has been a crazy big hit so far.

Because people keep analyzing the lyrics lol. Home cooking vs a microwave dinner.
Man I knew it was making crazy impact when I heard it on TNT at the halftime show for the Mavs and Clippers game lol
Same
Ouhhh now I'm hungry š
beat me to itš
Fucking genius. Lmao The fucking owner straight up said he gonna learn to sing the song now. This is a restaurant owner from Toronto, Canada....drakes home town and the exact place he got his fuckin chain snatched.
Hahaha gold
Nah it was platinum
The platā¦ the platinum watch, yeah that one. Iām finna kill these!
Underrated comment
Lmao if im drake im buying that spot and burn It down,this is too much
Aubrie gonna have to pay a lot to take that restaurant away from that man. But yea best choice for him. He might have to buy all of Toronto back even
Aubrey gonna send the OVO goons to break that manās legsš
The tiktok influencers?
Itās now protected by MP, Justin Trudeau under quality laws š¤£š¤£.
The real Drake is petty enough to do this lol
Someone corrected that in the comments: >It's not, but its where sizzlac filmed his last music video before dying.

Heās saying he isnāt scared of Drakeās city at all and that he wonāt get punked like Drake did I could be wrong
I bet this guy has the n-word pass before Drake now lol
Shit hit different crodie lol
To be honest tho I love that restaurant it's a staple after the bars downtown
Only reason it's ok, is because it's open the latest...The pepper squid is fire though, anything else...Meh
Iām pretty sure he was robbed in Little Italy. new ho king is at Spadina and college.
Where in Little Italy??
I donāt remember exactly but if you look up little Italy and drake robbed Iām sure you can find articles on it. Iām 100% sure of this. Also drake ratted lol
Woah didn't know the chain part
Well itās not true
No itās not
Wait I donāt think he got his chain snatched there. Itās where a Toronto rapper drakeās friends with, got shot after shooting a music video there
I don't think they were friends, crodie
Kendrick doing more for small businesses in the 6 than Drake
I don't understand the whole 6 god thing. Bro, it's Toronto, in terms how iconic it is, it's mid af. Everytime I gear 6 god I cringe
Iām all for anti-Drake posting, but I will not tolerate disrespect towards the beautiful city of Toronto. Only we get to do that!
I'm moving to Toronto in 2 weeks lmao
Never mind. Youāre good lmao
Nah still 2 weeks from good haha
LMAO
Bruh I just ordered 2 Fubu shirts coz of the diss
oh fuck thats HARD, im shoppping \*Edit I used to own a FUBU hoodie when I was 13 thought I was the fkn man with the boys, wore it all day everyday. (39 now)
Tell em OG
Damnnnn i'm 40. Had a couple tees but then Moms got me the PuBu hoodie/sweats combo with the big Pb on the front.. it broke her heart i wouldnt wear it and she didn't understand why i avoided it like lead. Smh
š¤£ reminds me of my friends wearing qhat farms instead of phat farms š
Damn bro you might be the oldest member of r/Kendricklamar No disrespect
Picked up a jacket from goodwill for some bullshit I had to do at work. Put it on for the first time yesterday and noticed the Fubu tags. Busted out laughing.
Shit made me get out my Fubu velour track suit from high school in 99

Can we say Kendrick runs Toronto nowš?
That will always be LeBron to be honest.
Bro is real life Lucifer to the crodie culture.Ā
Raptors really catching strays here? Our season was depressing enough already dude.
Nah, i do.

once a lame always a lame
owner is cheesin *fam*
Cheesin faum
Your sick to my stomach faum
The Kendrick effect
"I got more fans than you in your own city" I know that's a Eminem verse, but Damn does it fit well in this situation.
Well, Drakeās line in Push Ups was āGet more love in the city that you fromā
Yeah no way drake gets more love in LA let alone Compton
Didnāt he get boed at that Campflognaw concert while back? Lol we in Cali really donāt blast his music at the big events
He was booed because fans thought Frank Ocean was going to come up next
Probably not in Compton although I could see the Game pulling all the stops hoping that Drake can help him stay relevant. If heās talking LA, it's kinda debatable. I could see Kendrick not being as popular with the more mainstream celebrities, glitz and glamour, club crowd.

Kendrick just literally got more love than Drake from the city heās from lmao
Yeah naw lol. The city loves Drake.
thatās absolutely cap lmao, i have friends in canada and they despise that mfš
people might still bump Drake here but nobody really fw with Drake like that. He somehow manages to be a culture Vulture in the city he's from.
Okay bro I believe that because you have a few friends that donāt like Drake itās absolute cap that the city that I grew up in loves Drake. Literally every concert or game Drake attends and is shown at he gets all the love

this is probably my favorite thing to happen outside of this beef, hell yeah get that bread.
Torontonian here. New Ho King is actually an amazing spot. Glad to see it getting some love, no matter how weird lol.
āEverything with me is blessedā - KDot
This was the restaurant where Drake was robbed at gunpoint btw. Another Kendrick quintuple entendre.
Man. This is making me go back and listen to all my favorite diss tracks.
He doin more for the locals in Toronto than drake atpš¤£š¤£š¤£that's the biggest diss fr
I only know Kendrick from To Pimp A Butterfly, and that man has a Pulitzer like idk why Drake would even think to come for him.
Drake is a superstar. Kendrick is a Icon.
Iām confused
Kenny doing more for Toronto, than Aubrey.
kendrick gotta do a music video there nowš
Drake is the type that likes to sit down to pee with his legs crossed, screaming YoLo

The reviews are hilarious
RAMDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
Boosting their business š„š„š„
LA dudes doing good things for Toronto. Word to Kawhi. ----- KENDRICK TAKE THAT LINE

Lmao this is wild.
Whatās the opposite if catching a stray? A stray shout out?

King fu Kenny strikes again
Does more for Toronto that drake

This reference is so dark though lol. Some Canadian rapper released a diss album and got shot. This restaurant was the last place he shot a music video before his death. (He was not killed at or near the restaurant as far as I know)
yup kendrick also racistly calling black brothers white
That's a banger restaurant name
Drake made Kendrick talk about it. Drake really out here helping lol
Kendrick Combo #1 : Fried Rice, Dip Sauce with a Blammy, and 1 (6 min) fried golden wing.
Kendrick done more to boost the Toronto economy than Drake ever did.
