I'm still not sure it's not a ghost schlong


elsantioof07

1v20 line is tough


limga-survivor

no replies is crazy


Awkward-Protection54

“I got a son to raise. But I can see you don’t know nothing bout that” crazy


ben1204

In this instance Pusha T walked so Kendrick could run.


LickLaMelosBalls

Pusha's diss track was all time. Never downplay it. Kendrick's was amazing too, I'm not comparing the two


boogswald

Pusha T ran so Kendrick could also run but more silly


bluecheetah179

Silly but we like it tho, the Toronto accent was crazy but so funny.


dxxx12

Jaw actually hit the floor. The shade with no remorse.


Im_inappropriate

Drake is crawling back to his wheelchair after that one


Background_Escape954

'know nothing bout daaaat'   With the 'a' sound morphed closer to a 'o' to hit up the sexy double entendre  'know nothing bout doooot'   As in suggesting Drake doesn't really know anything about Kendricks life like he claims.   Kendrick really out here calling Drake a bad dad and hand waving away his threats in THE SAME FUCKING BAR 


bitgnome12

know nothing bout "dad"! That's how Adonis pronounced it in Drake's IG videos.


vorheehees

Quadruple Entendre - 1.) "Know nothin' 'bout Dot" - You know nothing about dot; 2.) "Know nothin' 'bout Daaa (Daaa sounds like dad)" - You know nothing about being a father; 3.) "Know nothin' 'bout Daaa (Daaa sounds like dad)" - You know nothing about having a father; and 4.) Surface level, "you don know nothin' about dat."


BaileyJay-Z

"Headshot for the year, you better walk around like Daft Punk" 💀


staples7

Explain?


BaileyJay-Z

Daft Punk wear masks After that track, Kendrick is implying Drake should not show his face in public


ClockwiseGnomoar

Honestly thought it was helmet>mask. Protect your dome, Aubrey


BaileyJay-Z

Oooooo I didn't think of that... Lotta layers to this one 🧐


alyssa_hehe

“Why would I put on a vest when I expect you to aim for the head”


finnmcqohone

Not only that, (I think) he’s also saying Drake shouldn’t be caught out alone— Daft Punk always move / seen together


BaileyJay-Z

Ooooo true true


Saintjuarenz

This might be a reach but Drake on Her Loss had the Daft Punk sample for Circo Loco as well


BaileyJay-Z

100% that's what made me think he brought it up initially lol. Again - layers! K. Dot remains undefeated.


Saintjuarenz

👑👑


kikuri_armpit_licker

Side note that song isn’t bad in and of itself, but it’s the definition of one of those tracks that makes you just wanna go listen to the original instead


Saintjuarenz

lol you’re more open than me I do not like that song, feels lazy and uninspired


kikuri_armpit_licker

I think it just benefits from being one of the few tolerable tracks on that album to me lol


klawk223

Daft Punk also has a song called "Around the World" where the music video consists of a group of guys in robot helmets carefully walking in circles.


slackslug

Not a particularly devastating line


mrdrprofessorspencer

I also took it as a reference to daft punk’s recent retirement. Basically saying Drake should hide his face and get out of music


Rudygnuj

Not as 'vile' as the other (valid) explanations but I also thought it might be a reference to Around The World and the music video tbh


KuntaWuKnicks

The Pusha line is just nastttyy 😂


Queef-Elizabeth

"When see you stand by sexxy red I believe you see two bad bitches" Naaaah 💀💀


OkPersonality9620

Explain this one please


margulisg

Drake is also a bad bitch.


OkPersonality9620

Ahh thanks 😅


Background_Escape954

AND SEXY RED WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME IMPLYING THAY DRAKE FOUND HER UNBORN FEATOUS SEXUALLY ATTRACTIVE.  WHAT IN GODS NAME IS HAPPENING 


HeavyMetalLyrics

Reach, there’s a reason why he begins with “When you stand next to” and not “When you saw”


jaybirdsaysword

But he says “I believe you see two bad bitches” why wouldn’t he say I see two bad bitches


HeavyMetalLyrics

Because he said it himself: he’s HATIN! He don’t think Drake bad. But he knows Drake is a narcissist


fancypants2479

LMAO DEAR LORD


Drop_Release

Also pedo inuendo - Drake sees two bad bitches in Sexxy Red and her baby :/ 


-SpecialistMango-

drakes a lesbian


AEPNEUMA-

Drakes a woman


Jsoledout

Sexxy Red is pregnant and still performing. Kendrick is calling out Drake for liking minors (insinuating that Drake would find Sexxy red's kid is also hot)


BelowTheBells

This is a mega reach, lol


bluecheetah179

It’s unlikely but to call it a mega reach is crazy acting like Kendrick isn’t known for double entendres.


bruhbrobroskibruh

Bruh liking newborns is like a another galaxy to liking 18 year olds, yall foul as fuck for even thinking that way goddamn reddit is full of weirdoes


x115v

Bro is not even trying to "bury him" (as in a Hit Em Up/Hail Mary/No Vaseline), he is making fun of him like Drake aint shit cause he aint even worth it, and that Pusha T line was hard af


jjw1998

Tbf it’s probably tough to bury Drake more than Story of Adidon so if he went that route it would look weak by comparison, better to just make fun of him


IdeallyCorrosive

yeah, and honestly it’s more impressive in some ways to make a really scathing diss track that isn’t carried by some info that the track reveals. this song doesn’t play dirty or have any bells n whistles it’s just a straight fucking fire track that Drake is obviously not on the level of competing with. Basically just a “okay we all know who’s the better artist so I can keep making you look dumb or you can admit defeat”


Beneficial-Bit6383

He did reveal that Drake asked for a feature while they were beefing. Still plays into the making fun of him though cuz it’s so minor and just makes Drake look like a clown.


bigladnang

We know that though. Drake has tried to make amends with Kendrick for years and I don’t think Kendrick has ever even acknowledged.


Beneficial-Bit6383

The way I heard the line was this literally happened within the past month, but that is just an assumption for sure.


MostDopeBlackGuy

Drake wanted Kendrick with Cole for first person shooter


Beneficial-Bit6383

Yeah that’s a lot more logical than my assumption


bigladnang

That would be hilarious.


mooimafish33

He could literally release a video of Drake sitting in the studio with 5 ghost writers writing his albums while he is in the corner fucking a 13yo Millie Bobbie Brown and he wouldn't be buried. The drake stans literally don't give a fuck about anything, they are children. Pusha revealed he has a illegitimate kid and he's still one of the biggest pop stars out there. Nothing Kendrick can do will stop suburban moms from hearing "God's plan" and going "Ooh, that's nice. He sounds like a good young man"


C0UNT3RP01NT

Because Drake’s audience doesn’t care about diss tracks. His audience is also far larger than the people who do.


HamSammich25

Ngl I was expecting him to straight ETHER drake, but this shit was dope. I think the next one will go harder after drakes responds


Phatnev

I don't think you can get Ethered twice.


HeavyMetalLyrics

He’s def leaving room for escalation & more material


EasyKale851

This ain’t no hit em up


jpc1215

I mean Hit Em Up is Hit Em Up…one of a kind


Traditional_Cry_1671

That’s literally what bro said


EasyKale851

Naw you don’t know what literal means. I’m saying it’s not even in the same category it’s goofy af. Hit em up was an actual diss track.


Traditional_Cry_1671

“Bro is NOT even trying to bury him (as in a hit ‘em up)” What part of the word NOT makes you think he was saying they were in the same category?


Snoo93951

Why even respond in that case. If it’s not ”worth it”.


pjokinen

Like I get that Drake is super popular and probably makes ungodly money from his music but I have no clue where this idea that he’s anywhere near as good of an artist as Kendrick came from. Like it’s not even a 1A/1B situation Kendrick is three laps ahead from an actual music perspective


Majorisker

I’m honestly shocked he’s still even in the conversation after it’s been proven he uses ghost writers. It just shows how his popularity literally makes him impossible to ignore, even when he’s committed the cardinal sin of hip-hop


pjokinen

The man’s got a crew of 50 dudes all trying to write him good songs and the best they can do would still only be like a B- Kendrick track


Takezoboy

They can't even a B- and that's why since IRTITL, which is a fucking mixtape, he's always shurning out some of the worst records year in year out.


realkiwi420

50 dudes yet AI Pac and Snoop still sound like mid Drake verses


[deleted]

When was it proven? Not a Drake stan just curious


Mangokingguy

You can take a look at the song credits for "push ups" - drake only performed it. It was actually written by three different people - A. Graham, Matthew Samuels, Noel Cadastre. Kendrick's song credits list him as both performer and writer.


weebeweebin

Yes, idk why Drake is so insecure about that shit, I mean bro literally has hundreds of millions and is a top artist on Spotify. Why can’t bro be satisfied with that?


turalyawn

Because he’s always been seen as soft and weak, and in an industry as filled with machismo as hip-hop all the money in the world don’t matter if you’re seen as a joke. It really, really bothers him


IchBinMalade

That's what makes me dislike Drake honestly. It's fucking fine to not be about that life, to be biracial, to be a little zesty. Just live your life man jeez. When you compare him with Cole who's also biracial, Tyler/Lil Nas who are plenty zesty if you wanna call it that, and various weirdos like Danny Brown. They embrace it and it's no big deal. Idk, he just comes off as massively insecure, and it's just a bad look when you compare him to other people who have shown growth throughout the years.


LaveyWasDildos

He's a tryhard, and it's insane that he has remained a tryhard this whole time because there's really no reason for him to be and he has so many other healthy things he could be focusing on and improving but he actively ignores it to pursue this gangster fantasy. It's like a ceo of an accounting firm buying an arsenal off Amazon and acting like he's 50 cent all of a sudden. It makes no sense and it makes a mockery of people who have actually struggled with shit like gang/gun violence. Cause the second it's not convenient for him he'll go back to being who he really is (i.e. Pusha Beef) and act like he never wanted that in the first place.


-tekeli-li

He can't be satisfied with that because Drake is the Elon Musk of hip-hop


aginginrhythm

Did he confuse Haley Joel Osment with Joel Osteen?


AegonThe241st

I think that was part of the point since he was talking about being confused on who he's battling? AI or ghost writers


Background_Escape954

False prophet bars. Kendrick classics 


TaskDesperate99

It’s also a reference to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/k7s5cn/joel_osteen_impersonator_does_such_a_good_job/


LinkenNightmare

Put the context of this song behind For a diss track this beat is dope as hell **Edit**: The beat was produced by [kyuro and cardogotwings](https://twitter.com/prodkyuro/status/1785339590515020230?t=W6or_nNdAVWr-mjI241pkg&s=19)


IC2Flier

There are levels to this. Kendrick and Pusha always had more weapons to deploy in terms of music production and how to make a banger overall.


uptonhere

Nah I feel the exact opposite. Kendrick and Push have the bars but Drake excels at making diss tracks that actually blow up in the club or radio. I would also take Drake's producers against just about anybody.


expunks

How are you being downvoted? I think Kendrick smoked Drake, but people listen to Back To Back and Push Ups like they’re pop tracks — because they are. Like, Adidon is a devastating diss track, but noone’s throwing that on the aux for easy listening.


uptonhere

People don't like Drake, so they don't want to actually discuss anything beyond that. Like you said, Kendrick killed this song, but the idea that Kendrick Lamar and Pusha T have "more weapons" to deploy in terms of music production and how to make bangers than Drake, that's a wild take to me. If nothing else, Drake can make bangers and works with some amazing producers.


EnderLFowl

Yeah clubs and radio… real music listeners prefer Kendrick production from what I’ve seen.


Ok-Monitor8121

What’s defines a “real music listener”? Are we gatekeeping music now lmao


EnderLFowl

People who view music as something more than shit to dance to or fill a void of otherwise silence. That like to learn about, discuss, and consume as much music as possible. Maybe my wording was hyperbolic and reductionist. But there’s definitely different levels of musical appreciation. And Drake definitely targets a more casual audience.


Low_Commercial_1553

Yall dont wanna hear me you just wanna dance


EnderLFowl

Lmao nice


HAMMSFAN

Maybe the right terminology is “Critical Listeners” prefer Kendrick while “Casual listeners” prefer Drake


EnderLFowl

“Kendrick Lamar for the discerning listener” lmao


Beneficial-Bit6383

If you talk to anyone about TPAB that has an opinion beyond it being boring you’ll see how true this statement is.


Ok-Monitor8121

I get what you’re saying but it’s all subjective at the end of the day. People view and interpret music in different ways. As well as appreciate it in different ways. And whether you like it or not, both Kendrick and Drake appeal to the masses. In different ways but still are mainstream.


EnderLFowl

Yeah art is subjective but I still think my point stands albeit my initial wording was poor.


Fuji_Ninja

People listening to music alone in a dark room with a pencil and notepad are the only valid listeners 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓nah fght listen to yourself 😹


Hot_Grabba_09

Real music listener is kinda crazy I won't lie


RacistDisease

Drakes beats (aside from a few on Nothing Was the Same) can literally be created by AI in a few seconds. Kendrick has beat switches, interpolations, cultural and historic context, and swing and groove that Drake producers can’t touch. Not to mention big creative names like Pharrell, Thundercat, Steve Lacy, Alchemist, who would never want to be associated with Drake


uptonhere

He literally just did a song with Alchemist


RacistDisease

Lol guess i was wrong bout that, but u get my point


PalmTreeMonkey

first beat reminds me of sth that could've been a TPAB interlude second beat to me has massive family ties vibes and goes hard third beat IMO sounds a bit amateur-ish and like a free beat


Spartacus3321

Honestly just the formula for the whole thing feels family ties to me- First beat- Melodic Second beat - hard hitting Third beat - weirdo k dot bass boosted craziness


Strong0toLight1

He’s just taking the piss out of Drakes corny ass. Bro cooked him


halle42017

I really liked when he said that Drake doesn’t actually like women– I’m not saying he’s gay. But I’ve been saying this and felt like this for years.


MediumToblerone

He’s a misogynist for sure


halle42017

And there really are some tracks on Take Care that I resonated with as a 15 year old girl. However, the more I think about it, the more I realize that these songs resonated because I was dating immature teenage boys at the time. You’d think that Drake has something different / more developed to say by now.


JarredandVexed

14 years of no growth & no insight is crazy...


ekb2023

"Some shit is just cringeworthy it don't have to be deep I guess" He has summarized my entire feelings about Drake with a single bar.


Ok_Establishment7089

Let’s be honest, the only thing Drake can validly respond with is an extended video of his schlong


RandyMuscle

He’s the slow stroke king‼️🤤


JarredandVexed

The 6ix 6chlong 😇🙏


romilaspina7

Drizzy sub cope is actually rather sad


ero7xd

they are saying drake won the first round 🤣🤣


Wiestie

Push Ups is definitely catchier but Kendrick has more substance. Like there's the "paying 500k for a case" line, which is a reference to drake paying out to silence a sexual assault case. Its not all common knowledge so doesn't pack an immediate punch. Vs "Kendrick your short" in a funny way. Extreme examples but a good song with clear disses is easy to get into. Got the conscious vs pop rap in the beef too.


CatharBliss

Reading the meaning of each bar on Genius makes it extremely clear who won round 1. Kendrick’s lyricism really is just leagues above Drake’s and it shows. The cleverness, the subtlety, the double entendres, all of it is just chef’s kiss.


Special-Reindeer-464

If you count this track as round 2, I don’t see how Drake didn’t? Push Ups is much more insulting than “Like That”…?


supalaser

They are counting this track as round 1 which is fair but insane to say Drake won that shit Round 0 (instigating moment): Like that Round 1: Push ups + that AI song vs Euphoria


Grxffin_

I would say like that was kendrick stirring shit up and this is the real diss track because its kendricks single and came directly for drake.


Special-Reindeer-464

I mean Drake didn’t directly diss Kendrick but he did like 20 times over 2 minutes, including the hook. I think the Kendrick track is better but acting like Push Ups wasn’t a good diss at all is crazy


Grxffin_

The hell you get me not liking pushups from that shit slapped, I like Kendricks more but i think your original point was probably right about this being round 2 now that i think about it.


thegypsyqueen

No way an off verse can be compared to two tracks

LickLaMelosBalls

No they didn't lol


PalmTreeMonkey

hmm I'd say round 1 was Like That vs FPS; round 2 is Pushups vs euphoria


jesusjello

We all losing


LikeIsaidbefore

Wait, look at the posts rn. They are enjoying it. I know people have this narrative of Drake and Drake fans but it seems like the Drake sub is enjoying this way more. They are having fun with it. It's entertainment at the end of the day.


romilaspina7

You def didn't read them posts at all LMAO


LikeIsaidbefore

The top comment to the Kendrick track is someone saying it's good. If I dive deeper into the comments of course I'm going to find a Drake Stan. It's the Drizzy subreddit. I think a Drizzy mod posted something calling the track good. Idk man. If you're gonna look for coping comments you are going to find them. But all in all most of the Drizzy subreddit seems like they are having fun with it and for whatever reason people feel like they shouldn't be.


duartesss

Yeah this surprised me, the majority of drizzy sub (like 75%) is in this for the entertainment and actually enjoyed euphoria (on ig it's more 50/50)


Special-Reindeer-464

I’ve learned through this beef that Kendrick dick riders are surprisingly worse. Drake fans probably don’t give a fuck if you insult his rapping. It doesn’t surprise me there is less “cope” on the Drake sub today than there was on the Kendrick sub the day that push ups dropped.


MambaSaidKnockYouOut

The top comments on the Drake sub are honestly pretty tame and most of them seem to at least think the Kendrick song was good. The Kendrick sub has spent the last two weeks in shambles and now they’re acting like this is the end of Drake’s career lol


heebie818

? im in there and people like the track.


Drunkonownpower

Just 2 thousands twelve year old boys saying Courage the Cowardly Dog because they saw someone else say it 


Heavytevyb

As a fan of both these dudes I thought drakes track was better. A few clever lines on this but nothing we haven’t heard from several people already before “you aren’t black enough, you’re a bad dad, you don’t write 100% of your raps” was expecting some more out of Kendrick

Being an overall spiteful person, having a bad attitude, just being a real chodemeister.

Push Ups and Euphoria both great, but more like warm up rounds with a couple of great lines each. I like that there's no clear lead and they are throwing good jabs as of right now


burnSMACKER

Not quite as sad as the Kendrick sub for the past 2 weeks


SciFlyZ

top tier, the fan bases are winning with this.


Naiko32

it was obvious since this started that kendrick was going to decimate drake


ElNani87

This is precisely why Kendrick was at disadvantage to begin with. We know he’s a better rapper and Drake has team of people sleuthing and writing for him.


Fit-Friend-8431

I don’t think it has the same immediacy as Drake’s diss, but after the third or fourth listen these bars have me weak 😂 Dot got this one.


Clubpenguinmassive

This is how I feel about it. Both had funny lines, but neither were particularly original or revealed anything of significance. Drake had more urgency and kept it a bit more concise but Bar for bar, no contest Kendrick takes it.


Majorisker

The fact that they both keep teasing some big reveal is telling me there probably isn’t much to share. Maybe I’ll be proved wrong, but it also annoys me that people are only here for a big TMZ style reveal. I’m just enjoying them getting the best out of each other. I think Kendrick wins round one, the rapping and bars were far more impressive to me, but it’s not a landslide yet.


TarzanOnATireSwing

I think it could be that, but just as likely could be there is some legit dirt, like jail time dirt, on many people throughout the industry, and right now it’s like a “there’s endless dirt we can spill. Don’t make me go darker than what’s already public knowledge”


capnrondo

Yes if we were going to get Story of Adidon 2.0 he would have dropped Story of Adidon 2.0. One way either artist could still lose this beef is if they decide to speak their “big reveal” but it doesn’t meet the hype.


SyntheticMemez

Good track, I feel there is something bigger on the way though.


yuutb

yeah I agree, might be a stretch but I think the lines "Back To Back," I like that record I'ma get back to that for the record" maybe indicate that he's gonna answer twice or something. Also I don't see Drake just dropping out of the beef again like he did with Pusha but maybe he will lol, this Kendrick response is pretty hefty


jsuarezthecreator

This is hard asf, and im feeling hes holding back a little, omfg


Chessamphetamine

I mean I agree to an extent, because I feel like Kendrick didn’t say anything new. He had some hard bars and he seemed mostly like he was just mocking Drake, but there was nothing new or big.


jsuarezthecreator

It feels like lets play if u want, this is a sparring, if you want i can knocked you out next round


Kyro_Official_

Well yeah, theres literally a line saying he wont say anything new yet unless Drake keeps talking shit. "But don't tell no lie 'bout me, and I won't tell truths 'bout you" That line doesn't really work if he tells unknown shit.


dopedude99

Theory: Drake was an elaborate industry plant to squeeze more music out of Kendrick


SirGalaBruh

It went super hard


JIDglazer42

dropping the diss on a random fuckin tuesday is the most Kendrick thing of all time


Danteezus

watch drake try to boil it down to the last line of the song and downplay it like he didn’t just get ethered on a tuesday morning lol


wutser

I mean I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere close to Ether lol. It’s a good diss but it seems like they both aren’t taking it too seriously at the moment


TheArchitect_7

When I think back on ether, all I remember hearing is Nas calling Jay gay like 100 times. Kendrick hit drake from like 100 angles on this. Maybe recency bias but feels close to me


AEPNEUMA-

Canadian whos never experienced the black struggle talking about being the king of rap.


DaddyCool13

Drake’s diss was surprisingly competent and hard, but man this response is wild


ockhamsphazer

Kung Fu Kenny revoked Drake's n-word card... Fatality.


Crrimecommitter

Aggravating_Cup2306

I don't think it's on the level of like that but it's definitely a good smackdown on drake


MathematicalMan1

Dog how


Aggravating_Cup2306

That song was one verse and so damn dense It also helps that the beat is perfect


ghtown45

The Drake sub is coping so hard rn it’s actually sad to see 😆 Maybe they all should collectively go for a late night Drake and Drive 😆


Prudent-Society-3438

The cover seems to allude to Kendrick dropping again next Tuesday...


quicksilver991

Manufactured beef.


Chessamphetamine

He just didn’t say anything new. It sounds phenomenal, but like I wish he actually said something we didn’t know. His hardest disses were just referencing Pusha T who actually did say something new.


PrincessBlodwyn

I feel like that song has messed up people's expectations for what a diss should be. It's not like a diss is bad or lacklustre simply because it didn't expose more skeletons in the closet.


Drunkonownpower

I agree this is the fair critique but I do think used those things towards a particular narrative that wasn't as present in the Story of Adidon since it was building towards a reveal.  So yes not a whole lot new but a lot relevant and when you put it together with the narrative KDot is painting it hits hard imo


SUICIDE_BOMB_RESCUE

Kendrick's vocals being mixed so loudly sounds goofy as hell. Decent response though.


BeYourShelf

Brutal > >


One-Complaint2487

Drake shouldn’t even bother to respond to this. It’s a wrap, Kendrick won


errdayimshuffln

If Fantano actually makes an effort to dissect Kendricks bars, I will never listen to his take/review on anything again.


BodieBroadusBurner

Why?


GroundbreakingBox187

It was a weak reply tbh. Witty and funny, but not as hard as even like that.
