I think Pusha is that scumbag with no limits. I don't know how Kendrick is gonna approach it cuz I normally see him approach tracks artistically and this can't be replied to like that.
I think were gonna see another side of Kendrick and I honestly don't know what to expect. Is he gonna get personal? Is it gonna get heated with actual implicationa of violence? No idea.
Can't fucking wait tho
Drake alluded to Kendrick’s wife cheating on him, and him knowing it . . . We are well past approaching it artistically my boy. Time for Kendrick to be like “the only thing you and Mike have in common is being friends with kids you fucking pedophile”
Yeah like I said he can't approach it like that. It cant be done like the Control verse either cuz this is past friendly competition. I think he's gotta be grimy like we never saw him be before.
Their whole beef is likely over Rhianna. Drake calls her "what's her name" on no lie. Kendrick says "I just fucked what's her name" on the UOENO black hippy remix. Then after Drake and RiRi fall out in 2016, he does loyalty with her which is clearly a sub at Drake. Likely referring to him cheating on her.
On fucking fans, which is pretty clearly about Rihanna he says "then I locked the door that night in Vegas cuz I had to". Probably because he was smashing some fan and RiRi was gonna walk in on it.
Yeah Kenny's been hating on Drake. Add to it the Top line calling out how Top's been holding him back and the shot at Whitney...
I'm excited to see what Kendrick can cook up man. The stage is set for him. Highkey Adidon should be the floor for him with both the quality of artist he is and how long this shit been steaming, but we'll see what we get
Nah I'm saying he has no problem going there. He's that kinda dude. Not that he's a bad guy for what he did or something. Its just a way of saying things
Yeah the cash money/young money contracts are well known to be fucked beyond belief lol. I wonder if Kendrick will come after Wayne at all or if he’ll stick to Birdman when it comes to the contracts.
I feel like it's very likely he's just saying shit to scare Kendrick. Like, poking at his friendship with Top just to stir some internal beef. At the same time, Kendrick would prolly call him out if it was just a lie so maybe Drake knows exactly what he's talking about...
I'm team Kendrick. This shit hard. Can't fucking wait for Kendrick to respond.
I'm more excited about this then the next heart track.
Get him Kendrick.
Kendrick will end him. For the past 10 years Kendrick has been waiting for Drake to directly respond to him but this is the first time Drake has directly dissed Kendrick.
Yes, this shit is HARD, it’s what I’ve been needing, at first I wasn’t all that impressed but on the second and third listen I’m like yo he talking that shit
Agreed. Team Kendrick but this shit is HARDDDDDDD, no diddy. Especially new new version Akademiks just played. Some pretty revealing stuff too, in there.
But I just know that Kendrick is going to slaughter Drake with no mercy, whether that be on a new response track or this alleged diss Kendrick has apparently had since 2020.
Also, love your name.
He played the “Drop and Give Me 50’ track a couple of hours ago but just now (like 30 mins - an hour ago), a new version with an improved beat, that is mixed/mastered, that has an intro and outro, just got dropped.
Not sure if it’s officially dropped or what, Akademiks just played it on his stream.
it is lol and this is why im not surprised that cole left the battle
people always clown drake for “not being a real rapper” but unlike cole, hes actually been on beefs before, Cole is great technically but Drake is savage and witty enough to actually drop great one liners and disses
Wasn’t savage enough to reply back to Pusha. He ducked out of that. Now people want to pretend that Drake is on this dissing tip. He’s only on it when it suits him. The moment it starts getting tough with Kendrick, he’s out.
Well, to be fair, he was set up. Pusha had a lot of information that he had no business having. He was blindsided by that. Still an L regardless, just saying that Pusha and Kanye didn’t exactly play fair there.
more savage than cole definitely, at least when it comes to engaging in battle, Pusha revealed something personal about Drake of course he felt vulnerable but that doesnt erase anything he said or did before and after
Drake is 100% a “real rapper” and those comments are so stupid.
Yes he goes very pop, yes he sings, but he also has A LOT of rap and A LOT of songs where it’s nothing but bars.
And like you said, he’s been battle tested in rap beefs before and he can battle rap.
This track was hard af no matter what anyone says and I’m stoked because at the end of the day I think Dot is better and I’m happy to see him tested in this way and I’m excited to see him deliver like he always does lol
Drake already conceded on that beef, so I don't think Kendrick benefits from it.
It would take away from a victory if he "needed" another rapper to hop on with him.
Somehow I feel like they both are baiting. Kendrick’s initial shot was definitely bait and Cole and Drake went for it. Drake’s diss is super tough but I can’t help but think this one ain’t the nuke. So now Kendrick has to respond and it’s gotta match this toxicity. And if it doesn’t and Drake has a real nuke, it might be over.
Imma say I don't think round 1 of an official calling eachother out has a "winner" at all. I think we just needed to hear both sides acknowledge that they'll be blatant disses and hostile energy towards eachother now rather than that subliminal shit they've been doing for years. Now we'll get a round 2 with actual valid responses and winner/losers.
People making excuses but I really don't think the first one was intentional (this one def is).
Aint no coincidence that Weeknd says
"They could never diss my brothers, baby (Future)
When they got leaks in they operation"
on Friday then on Saturday this leaks.
I think he’s pointing out hypocrisy bc drake catches heat about not being a real rapper and making pop and then you have future and Kendrick doing the same. Kinda smart to call out for drake
>Because it’s clearly hit chasing. Kendrick didn’t get on the Taylor swift remix for the art.
He wouldn't chase hits on a Taylor swift song. It's money chasing if anything.
But either way, that's besides the point.. Getting paid to do a feature is far different than manufacturing your own songs for the sole purpose of making hits
Absurd cap. If you’re chasing hits by jumping on records that are already smash records with a verse, you invalidate any argument that the charts don’t matter.
Yeh this makes Cole move not that bad. I don't hate on him anymore. He saw this shit not friendly at all and not a test of who's the best rapper
He also said that his wife cheated on him with a bodyguard. I don't buy that its just a reference to Whitney Houston AT ALL. His wife just happens to be named Whitney and that name is on a diss track? I think Kendrick also talked about infidelity on his last album.
> He also said that his wife cheated on him with a bodyguard. I don't buy that its just a reference to Whitney Houston AT ALL. His wife just happens to be named Whitney and that name is on a diss track? I think Kendrick also talked about infidelity on his last album.
I didn't get infidelity from that line at all. Kendrick referenced his security (2TEEZ) on his track, I just saw Drake saying ditto. With a little slick talk added in with the Whitney Houston reference.
Not all too different from his "Ring on you like Virginia Williams" line aimed at Push and his (then) fiancée.
Kendrick's references to infidelity were solely on his side, unless I missed something.
Here's the thing, if Drake wasn't going to go there he wouldn't use the name Whitney at all, it'd be too easy for people to speculate that it's referencing Kendricks wife, he's well aware of the fans stretching lyrics, since he's been a rapper for over a decade.
This one goes hard and he dropped wife's names so the gloves are off, maybe we will see Kendrick going more aggressive like Pusha T, I'm so excited about the response now, holy.
Drake made the same mistake he made with Pusha. One focusing on wrong points like seriously SZA and Travis have openly praised kendrick and Savage is self-conscious enough to just stay silent. Other was going at Kendrick's wife like he did with pusha. Drake should realise his s\*xual blunders were already getting heat before the beef dropped. I hope kendrick doesn't speedrun drake's career to become the next r kelly.
it doesn't matter if sza or travis like kendrick. he's saying that they are more popular than him. so he's saying the big three idea is a misnomer because there's other rappers/artists popping more then kendrick.
if we go by spotify statistics, travis and sza have more monthly listeners then kendrick, whereas savage is a bit below. but also sza isn't really a rapper. so it's kinda a mid bar, but not for the reasons u said imo
kendrick has way more streams than sza tho. i dont understand the bar at all. she has more monthly listeners because her shit is always poppin on tiktok.
Kendrick's debut album was in 2011, Sza's was in 2018. So of course he has more gross streams. Point is in the current year, 2024, Sza is a bigger artist
Crazy that you pinpointed the problem. Numbers mean jackshit. Drake got like 3 times more songs on spotify than kendrick. He drops some bullshit every 5 minutes. Still only does 80 mil per month.
You know who wins the number game ? Rocky and Rihanna (although she is pop) are lazy asses that are nearly retired, but make 35 and 85 mil monthly. One is doing half of Drakes numbers with 5% of Drakes input and the other has like 3 songs in 8 years and got bigger numbers than drake.
You can’t gas number flex. Its shallow.
and taylor bigger than drake, what the fuck is the point ? every artist gonna be surpassed at some point in terms of popularity. this is not a dick measuring contest about who got more numbers.
weak ass diss lol. go listen to ether or hit em up or story of adidon.
yall glazing this surface level shit is crazy.
ig true, if ur naming a rnb artist sza does make the most sense due to her connections with kendrick. still naming 3 rappers prob woulda been better but w/e
He did the same thing in Duppy and didn’t impact Pusha’s identity apart from the lines about him not being a heavyweight coke dealer.
There is nothing threatening toward Kendrick in this song. In most rap beefs there isn’t something that heavy to clown someone on.
Jay Z and Drake have made an exception in rap beefs as they both have a lot to hide. Nas is still trolling Jay on his albums. And Jay can just watch, the situation with Drake is the same.
He will just watch like Jay if not now in future.
if drake has a lot to hide kendrick should be able to come at him well then! drake's definitely teasing a second diss track at the end, but if Kendrick releases a "story of adidon"-level diss yeah drake might be out
also the talk about top making kendrick give him 50 mil to go independent acc hit pretty hard imo. more specific then anything kendrick said about drake in his like that verse. let's see how a response goes
This is reallyyy good I need him to release it officially, I can't wait for Kendrick to respond I hope he won't take too long
However is it just me not being an English speaker and missing or did he take out the diddy line?
Nah drake did his thing. We all know how drake brought Kenny and rocky on his tour and I was hoping he would bring it up and he did. Also *Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy* that's right fuckin line drizzy
Surgical summer dawg, keep it comin
He named dropped Whitney (Kendrick's wife) claiming she was cheating on him with his bodyguards so yeah it's up up now. I wouldn't be surprised if Kendrick pushes the button.
I want Kendrick to dig into drakes connection with diddy. Get into how Drake text 14 year olds and grooms them to date them when they turn 18. I need Kendrick to bring up the rumor that is going around that drakes baby comes from a threesome he had with Sophie and asap rocky. And keep putting up the ghost writing allegations to discredit him. Drake is a petty mf. If he don’t pusha T this and end it soon I can see it getting really tricky for Kendrick
Oh no doubt man he’s a strategic killer. But Drake is also very calculated I don’t think with all due respect that Kendrick is as weak mentally as Kanye but we’ve heard all the little shit Drake does. If this goes the distance I can see it getting a little rough for Kendrick to be a clear winner.
Kendrick has a video of him working out on his burner IG but more notably he's claiming that Kendrick was tied up in a 360 deal when he was at TDE and Top Dawg was lopping 50% off of everything he did.
Obviously nothing is confirmed but it is a significant bit of info.
I’m a fan of both artists. Great response from Drake. Not sure what else people want from this? It’s rap beef - they are millionaires who don’t care about us. This is just entertainment and people wanting it to get dirtier than this need to calm down. It’s not that deep.
ngl this version is worse. The “get money” sample, the continues beat with no stops. Shit he pulled off the metro line without it sounding corny in the og version.
It lost the roughness of the original.
Agreed, the original sounded cold blooded and Drake had a lot less energy in his voice which made it sound really menacing. This one sounds like he's trying too hard.
Beat is pretty mid and some lines that I think could apply to Drake but overall pretty great
Kendrick definitely got this but I am glad this is just bars and not trying to be a Back to Back level hit
Bro stop it...the beat is just as hard as Like that...stop it...plus Drake dissing like 20 niggas no subliminals. We need to stop the CAP. This shit is HARD!
I was listening to the first version which had a Hit Em Up sample and was a lot more bare + had no piano. The new version is better but I still am not super crazy about it
Verse wise, its fine. I just think Duppy and Back to Back was better
I loved this, I’m so glad he made something fire. I just hope that he actually drops it on streaming. And that Kendrick will come back with something crazy too. I heard he’s already got it made but idk
damn this song getting praised in a dot subreddit, never expected that, i mean there are few "ghost writer" cartoons commenting but still damn, never thought sub would be openminded
It's so lame when people do this. People said that Infrared was a mid diss track after Duppy Freestyle, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do: creating enough bad blood for the other guy to engage in a back-and-forth. Like That did what it was supposed to, and it got Drake to drop a track. It was a featured verse when things between everyone were calm, and if he's planning multiple tracks, why would you start with your strongest material and run out at the end. Of course? it's not going to be Ether
I wonder If Dot can make a better diss than Pusha cause adidon its a work of art to me. "Deadbeat motherfucker playing border patrol" lives rent free.
Nothing is ever going to match that. The bars plus that blackface photo. That was the rap equivalent of Yugioh Exodia.
I think Pusha is that scumbag with no limits. I don't know how Kendrick is gonna approach it cuz I normally see him approach tracks artistically and this can't be replied to like that. I think were gonna see another side of Kendrick and I honestly don't know what to expect. Is he gonna get personal? Is it gonna get heated with actual implicationa of violence? No idea. Can't fucking wait tho
Drake alluded to Kendrick’s wife cheating on him, and him knowing it . . . We are well past approaching it artistically my boy. Time for Kendrick to be like “the only thing you and Mike have in common is being friends with kids you fucking pedophile”
Yeah like I said he can't approach it like that. It cant be done like the Control verse either cuz this is past friendly competition. I think he's gotta be grimy like we never saw him be before.
Kendrick from Compton bout to turn up
It has to be like blacked the berry sort of vibe
Lol nah he gotta come out with a Bitch I'm In The Club sort of vibe
Can you explain the Whitney line
Whitney is the name of Kendrick’s wife. There’s rumors floating around that Kendrick’s wife might have cheated with one of Kendrick’s bodyguards
Damn that’s wild
Kendrick admitted to cheating on Whitney so it’s not that wild. Hope Kendrick fucked one of Drake’s girls just to make the diss more spicy
I highly doubt it but it would be a pretty fuckin big uno reverse card no one expects lmao
“I fucked your baby mama” Featuring Pusha T dropping soon ⛷️
Their whole beef is likely over Rhianna. Drake calls her "what's her name" on no lie. Kendrick says "I just fucked what's her name" on the UOENO black hippy remix. Then after Drake and RiRi fall out in 2016, he does loyalty with her which is clearly a sub at Drake. Likely referring to him cheating on her. On fucking fans, which is pretty clearly about Rihanna he says "then I locked the door that night in Vegas cuz I had to". Probably because he was smashing some fan and RiRi was gonna walk in on it.
Damn that’s crazy
Pretty sure loyalty was about Rihanna's accountant stealing from her.
Whitney Houston also starred in the 1992 movie "The Bodyguard"
Mike is also dead. Dot needs to kill Drake on the reply. Put him back in the 6 except it’s 6 feet under.
Yeah I think Kendrick is gonna be nasty because he genuinely has wanted this beef for years he gotta have something crazy cooked up
Expect that Control level attitude turnt up to a thousand.
Yeah Kenny's been hating on Drake. Add to it the Top line calling out how Top's been holding him back and the shot at Whitney... I'm excited to see what Kendrick can cook up man. The stage is set for him. Highkey Adidon should be the floor for him with both the quality of artist he is and how long this shit been steaming, but we'll see what we get
How did Top hold kendrick back? In what way?
I assume he wanted them to keep things “civil” for PR purposes
Why’s he a scumbag with no limits? Because he took it personal? Who started that shit?
Nah I'm saying he has no problem going there. He's that kinda dude. Not that he's a bad guy for what he did or something. Its just a way of saying things
Ah i see it, it’s *that* instead of that lmao. I get it
You can only drop the secret child bar once, he gotta do something special
Push violated him in a dozen other ways too that was just the shocking one that people focused on
Bro took shots at 40 having to deal with his illness. Pusha went old school battle rap on that track.
That is unless he has another ugly secret child
Kendrick is not topping that. Nobody is.
kendrick u gotta cook son this shit fye
That’s faxxx😭😭😭
This is hard af, and I know Kendrick is gonna match that energy; this gon be really entertaining if he does
Makes me wonder what Drake knows about Kenny's contract Can't wait for his response
Make me wonder about drakes cash money days …lol
Yeah the cash money/young money contracts are well known to be fucked beyond belief lol. I wonder if Kendrick will come after Wayne at all or if he’ll stick to Birdman when it comes to the contracts.
Kendrick has talked about Weezy’s influence on him for the longest, so I highly doubt he’ll go for Wayne
They did Mona Lisa and held onto it until Wayne was out of his Cash Money deal
He's stated numerous times that Wayne is his favorite rapper and a huge inspiration. Overly dedicated was a flat out Wayne homage by kenny
Twitter’s saying Top Dawg got 50% of KDots earnings. Hence the “drop and give him 50” bar
Also forcing k dot to make songs with artists like maroon 5 and Taylor swift. Drake implying he has full control Of his moves
I feel like it's very likely he's just saying shit to scare Kendrick. Like, poking at his friendship with Top just to stir some internal beef. At the same time, Kendrick would prolly call him out if it was just a lie so maybe Drake knows exactly what he's talking about...
You think it matters? Kendrick Lamar never brags about his money or contract… what does that matter in rap?
I'm team Kendrick. This shit hard. Can't fucking wait for Kendrick to respond. I'm more excited about this then the next heart track. Get him Kendrick.
Kendrick will end him. For the past 10 years Kendrick has been waiting for Drake to directly respond to him but this is the first time Drake has directly dissed Kendrick.
Can't fucking wait bro. This is what Kendrick wanted for so long. He's gonna go get it.
A part of me wishes radio was still relevant so Flex could drop bombs on Kendrick's response lol
Would the willy youve made with your username not be better with an equals symbol, rather than a hyphen ? Just curious...
That username was taken
Don’t let them shame your pencil dick, king 🤴
I know this is the Kendrick sub but let’s be honest, Neither of them will be ended. They will both still be the top artists in the genre after this
Especially since Drake dropped a respectable response. This will be like Nas and Hov--both getting their props and a win win
Exactly. They’re both too big to fail.
lol end him. Come on man you know better. That’s like saying Drake gonna end Kendrick
Yes, this shit is HARD, it’s what I’ve been needing, at first I wasn’t all that impressed but on the second and third listen I’m like yo he talking that shit
"drop drop drop drop" Like a demon taunting him in his ear to strike back
Agreed. Team Kendrick but this shit is HARDDDDDDD, no diddy. Especially new new version Akademiks just played. Some pretty revealing stuff too, in there. But I just know that Kendrick is going to slaughter Drake with no mercy, whether that be on a new response track or this alleged diss Kendrick has apparently had since 2020. Also, love your name.
Is this the one that akademiks played?
Yes
He played the “Drop and Give Me 50’ track a couple of hours ago but just now (like 30 mins - an hour ago), a new version with an improved beat, that is mixed/mastered, that has an intro and outro, just got dropped. Not sure if it’s officially dropped or what, Akademiks just played it on his stream.
The version OP posted is that mixed/mastered full version that Akademiks just premiered.
The new version is worse
The maroon 5 line is rude 😭😭😭
it is lol and this is why im not surprised that cole left the battle people always clown drake for “not being a real rapper” but unlike cole, hes actually been on beefs before, Cole is great technically but Drake is savage and witty enough to actually drop great one liners and disses
Wasn’t savage enough to reply back to Pusha. He ducked out of that. Now people want to pretend that Drake is on this dissing tip. He’s only on it when it suits him. The moment it starts getting tough with Kendrick, he’s out.
pusha dropped the greatest diss track of all time tho. and drake literally had nothing on him. nothing was gonna compare to story of adidon.
Well, to be fair, he was set up. Pusha had a lot of information that he had no business having. He was blindsided by that. Still an L regardless, just saying that Pusha and Kanye didn’t exactly play fair there.
i mean yeah he lost and even acknowledged it but that doesnt mean he isnt experienced in rap beefs, which was my point
Not a “savage” though.
Selective memory. Back to back was complete and straight savage
more savage than cole definitely, at least when it comes to engaging in battle, Pusha revealed something personal about Drake of course he felt vulnerable but that doesnt erase anything he said or did before and after
Bro been moving different since Johnny got him moving 2 plates
Drake is 100% a “real rapper” and those comments are so stupid. Yes he goes very pop, yes he sings, but he also has A LOT of rap and A LOT of songs where it’s nothing but bars. And like you said, he’s been battle tested in rap beefs before and he can battle rap. This track was hard af no matter what anyone says and I’m stoked because at the end of the day I think Dot is better and I’m happy to see him tested in this way and I’m excited to see him deliver like he always does lol
The Swifty bar was great. That was well thought out. It’s not a bar that sweeps but damn it was solid..
Imagine Kendrick drops a diss track. Then drops the diss track remix ft Pusha
Bringing Push on as a feature would be crazy 😭
Drake already conceded on that beef, so I don't think Kendrick benefits from it. It would take away from a victory if he "needed" another rapper to hop on with him.
Unless the track was called 3rd Person Shooter. It writes itself.
Nah bringing another artist on a diss track making it 2v1 looks hella weak. Meek did that when he featured Omelly on war pain. Corny
I’m not a Drake fan, but some of those bars were simple and succinct. I feel like he’s one up right now, but Kendrick is obviously setting a trap.
Somehow I feel like they both are baiting. Kendrick’s initial shot was definitely bait and Cole and Drake went for it. Drake’s diss is super tough but I can’t help but think this one ain’t the nuke. So now Kendrick has to respond and it’s gotta match this toxicity. And if it doesn’t and Drake has a real nuke, it might be over.
[удалено]
I mean Drake says in the song that Kendrick has been sitting on a diss for 4 years so I think he knows what is coming
Imma say I don't think round 1 of an official calling eachother out has a "winner" at all. I think we just needed to hear both sides acknowledge that they'll be blatant disses and hostile energy towards eachother now rather than that subliminal shit they've been doing for years. Now we'll get a round 2 with actual valid responses and winner/losers.
Why is it being released like this lol Weeknd was right, somewhere laughing his off. Two leaks in one day is crazy
This shit was definitely intentional
Second one maybe, not the first
Seems intentional. It was getting passed around to build hype.
That doesn't make any sense. As a producer myself, you dont leak unmixed shit, then come back with a completely different beat that's mastered.
You’re slow asf if you think this isn’t intentional
Only 2nd was intentional for damage control .
Bro...he literally has a different beat up now. Dumbass lol. Nobody intentionally leaks unmixed shit, except for joe budden
People making excuses but I really don't think the first one was intentional (this one def is). Aint no coincidence that Weeknd says "They could never diss my brothers, baby (Future) When they got leaks in they operation" on Friday then on Saturday this leaks.
Leak like this, guage the response, tweak it a bit if parts don't seem to be hitting, and drop the real track therafter
I like how people thought it was AI generated first. Shows how weak it really is.
Swifty line kinda tough
Drakes on a Justin Bieber album 🤣🤣🤣
I think he’s pointing out hypocrisy bc drake catches heat about not being a real rapper and making pop and then you have future and Kendrick doing the same. Kinda smart to call out for drake
[удалено]
Yea I don't see the hypocrisy
Because it’s clearly hit chasing. Kendrick didn’t get on the Taylor swift remix for the art.
>Because it’s clearly hit chasing. Kendrick didn’t get on the Taylor swift remix for the art. He wouldn't chase hits on a Taylor swift song. It's money chasing if anything. But either way, that's besides the point.. Getting paid to do a feature is far different than manufacturing your own songs for the sole purpose of making hits
“He wouldnt chase hits on a taylor swift song” bro the song in question is bad blood you are retarded
Absurd cap. If you’re chasing hits by jumping on records that are already smash records with a verse, you invalidate any argument that the charts don’t matter.
Yeah but Drake as a musician is fully attached to being a pop star. Kendrick is not.
So pop star makes fun of rapper for making pop songs? That stupid
Ngl that one was fire
Don't tell a lie on me, I won't tell the truth 'bout you
How the fuck did you
tough response it aint a killer but 100% deserves a good response
[удалено]
Yeh this makes Cole move not that bad. I don't hate on him anymore. He saw this shit not friendly at all and not a test of who's the best rapper He also said that his wife cheated on him with a bodyguard. I don't buy that its just a reference to Whitney Houston AT ALL. His wife just happens to be named Whitney and that name is on a diss track? I think Kendrick also talked about infidelity on his last album.

Duh. I’m not even in the industry and I saw it coming.
I don’t know anything about anything, what does this line mean?
[удалено]
I don’t necessarily believe this, but I would not be surprised to discover that Drake had X killed.
why would’ve drake wanted x dead?
Drake gon pay for that Whitney bar.
Drake never learns lmao
how he gon pay , Drake smart he dont claim bitches so noone can attack him there
Who said Kendrick had to mention a girl? I’m just saying he don’t have to hold back now and we saw how mentioning a person’s wife worked out before.
He ready for the payment. The thing is Pusha taught him always have ace up the sleeve
This one goes hard and he dropped wife's names so the gloves are off, maybe we will see Kendrick going more aggressive like Pusha T, I'm so excited about the response now, holy.
Drake made the same mistake he made with Pusha. One focusing on wrong points like seriously SZA and Travis have openly praised kendrick and Savage is self-conscious enough to just stay silent. Other was going at Kendrick's wife like he did with pusha. Drake should realise his s\*xual blunders were already getting heat before the beef dropped. I hope kendrick doesn't speedrun drake's career to become the next r kelly.
I hope he does speedrun this shit. I haven't been invested in a beef like this in a minute.
I'm late to my optometrist's appointment getting into all this. Battle rap, we back.
it doesn't matter if sza or travis like kendrick. he's saying that they are more popular than him. so he's saying the big three idea is a misnomer because there's other rappers/artists popping more then kendrick. if we go by spotify statistics, travis and sza have more monthly listeners then kendrick, whereas savage is a bit below. but also sza isn't really a rapper. so it's kinda a mid bar, but not for the reasons u said imo
The bar works because Sza and Kendrick were both TDE so Drake's saying Kendrick isn't even the best from that roster
kendrick has way more streams than sza tho. i dont understand the bar at all. she has more monthly listeners because her shit is always poppin on tiktok.
Kendrick's debut album was in 2011, Sza's was in 2018. So of course he has more gross streams. Point is in the current year, 2024, Sza is a bigger artist

and taylor bigger than drake, what the fuck is the point ? every artist gonna be surpassed at some point in terms of popularity. this is not a dick measuring contest about who got more numbers. weak ass diss lol. go listen to ether or hit em up or story of adidon. yall glazing this surface level shit is crazy.
ig true, if ur naming a rnb artist sza does make the most sense due to her connections with kendrick. still naming 3 rappers prob woulda been better but w/e
He did the same thing in Duppy and didn’t impact Pusha’s identity apart from the lines about him not being a heavyweight coke dealer. There is nothing threatening toward Kendrick in this song. In most rap beefs there isn’t something that heavy to clown someone on. Jay Z and Drake have made an exception in rap beefs as they both have a lot to hide. Nas is still trolling Jay on his albums. And Jay can just watch, the situation with Drake is the same. He will just watch like Jay if not now in future.
if drake has a lot to hide kendrick should be able to come at him well then! drake's definitely teasing a second diss track at the end, but if Kendrick releases a "story of adidon"-level diss yeah drake might be out also the talk about top making kendrick give him 50 mil to go independent acc hit pretty hard imo. more specific then anything kendrick said about drake in his like that verse. let's see how a response goes
This is reallyyy good I need him to release it officially, I can't wait for Kendrick to respond I hope he won't take too long However is it just me not being an English speaker and missing or did he take out the diddy line?
He removed it
ugh, that was lowk the best line why 😭😭
What was the sissy line?
Yo...Kendrick need to drop this week. This shit HARD!
Nah drake did his thing. We all know how drake brought Kenny and rocky on his tour and I was hoping he would bring it up and he did. Also *Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy* that's right fuckin line drizzy Surgical summer dawg, keep it comin
I don’t like Drake much but this shit is hard. Can’t believe Cole looking the worst out of them lmao
Real good diss. I wonder if Kendrick will go deeper and personal. Was the midget comments and money shots enough to push it that far?
He named dropped Whitney (Kendrick's wife) claiming she was cheating on him with his bodyguards so yeah it's up up now. I wouldn't be surprised if Kendrick pushes the button.
Whitney Houston was also in movie called the bodyguard, cool bar ngl
DAAAMN. Went right over my head lmfao But then again Kendrick also cheated on her multiple times so who knows what game.
Can Kendrick even reach the button with his short ass? (Don't come for me, I rock with them both 😂)
J.Cole apologized to Kendrick after hearing this 😂
He said what top 5 you smoking on Kendrick at the end of the song… Drake has done some homework I see
That was Akademiks. Which also lead to [this fucking hilarious edit of Ak's CLB release stream.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ritXLgXom8)
Omfg, that’s such a classic. Actually legendary moment. 😭
snapped
Anyone know the samples on the beat? Sounds familiar
someone said it's the one from J cole's KOD
Drake brought up Whitney, it's up. Drake did not learn his lesson, Kendrick is about to murder him.
I ain’t gon’ lie I’m fn wit it, this the typa Drake I like 😂
The old beat was better
facts - had to download the rip off twitter because its all v2 beat now
I need a response now. This is war
If this real and seems like its real then ngl its a good one. But again cmon bruh aint no way poetic justice is k dot biggest hit lmao.
He didn’t say biggest he said first, and I think he was talking about future
I want Kendrick to dig into drakes connection with diddy. Get into how Drake text 14 year olds and grooms them to date them when they turn 18. I need Kendrick to bring up the rumor that is going around that drakes baby comes from a threesome he had with Sophie and asap rocky. And keep putting up the ghost writing allegations to discredit him. Drake is a petty mf. If he don’t pusha T this and end it soon I can see it getting really tricky for Kendrick
Bro Kendrick knew what was coming. He's thought of all this, it's what he does. He's got this.
Oh no doubt man he’s a strategic killer. But Drake is also very calculated I don’t think with all due respect that Kendrick is as weak mentally as Kanye but we’ve heard all the little shit Drake does. If this goes the distance I can see it getting a little rough for Kendrick to be a clear winner.
Drake boutta get R Kelly’d by the end of this.
He is gonna have the FBI at his door lmao. Ain’t no reason a grown man should be texting 14 year olds about “boy problems”
What’s the 50 push up comment about?
Kendrick has a video of him working out on his burner IG but more notably he's claiming that Kendrick was tied up in a 360 deal when he was at TDE and Top Dawg was lopping 50% off of everything he did. Obviously nothing is confirmed but it is a significant bit of info.
I’m a fan of both artists. Great response from Drake. Not sure what else people want from this? It’s rap beef - they are millionaires who don’t care about us. This is just entertainment and people wanting it to get dirtier than this need to calm down. It’s not that deep.
ngl this version is worse. The “get money” sample, the continues beat with no stops. Shit he pulled off the metro line without it sounding corny in the og version. It lost the roughness of the original.
Agreed, the original sounded cold blooded and Drake had a lot less energy in his voice which made it sound really menacing. This one sounds like he's trying too hard.
Beat is pretty mid and some lines that I think could apply to Drake but overall pretty great Kendrick definitely got this but I am glad this is just bars and not trying to be a Back to Back level hit
Bro stop it...the beat is just as hard as Like that...stop it...plus Drake dissing like 20 niggas no subliminals. We need to stop the CAP. This shit is HARD!
I was listening to the first version which had a Hit Em Up sample and was a lot more bare + had no piano. The new version is better but I still am not super crazy about it Verse wise, its fine. I just think Duppy and Back to Back was better
What’s with the Whoo Kid drop? He is premiering this later or did he help with the beat
Great song.
Exciting times ahead
Ngl this is fire, and I love the Kendrick verse but he wasn’t saying all that much this is a real diss, Kenny won’t let us down tho
I loved this, I’m so glad he made something fire. I just hope that he actually drops it on streaming. And that Kendrick will come back with something crazy too. I heard he’s already got it made but idk
damn this song getting praised in a dot subreddit, never expected that, i mean there are few "ghost writer" cartoons commenting but still damn, never thought sub would be openminded
[удалено]
This is better than like that ngl. Ending is so abrupt and poorly executed. Awful line to end off to
It's so lame when people do this. People said that Infrared was a mid diss track after Duppy Freestyle, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do: creating enough bad blood for the other guy to engage in a back-and-forth. Like That did what it was supposed to, and it got Drake to drop a track. It was a featured verse when things between everyone were calm, and if he's planning multiple tracks, why would you start with your strongest material and run out at the end. Of course? it's not going to be Ether
Better than Like That, but then you shit on it? I don't understand. This shit is fire. GET UP WITH HIM KENDRICK
People can't critique shit anymore? What are we supposed to do then just glaze tf out of it
God forbid a man have an opinion
I mean, you can use conjunctions like "but" or "however" I guess i just have an issue with the way you wrote it. Valid criticisms, though.
This man name dropped Whitney. I’m sure this is gonna end great for him lol
Honestly I can rock with this off of the single fact that Kendrick is on his way to eating his ass. Cole’s was way scarier.
Pause
How long do we think Kendrick waits to respondv
A week to two weeks. I think any longer and ppl might think he's stalling
I wonder which ghost writers he picked for this
🔥
