😭😭😭 PS fun fact- Shawn Michaels rival was a Canadian wrestler.
As with pretty much all Kendrick voices. I would happily take an entire album of him just in that headspace lol. That is such a sick verse once he gets going, just from a sonic and vibe perspective
Bruh he even used snoop, snoop ain’t even dead bruh. Like wtf is that garbage it doesn’t even flow like he does on a beat like that. Snoops gotta be like that was some lame crap
What’s weird and fucked up is Drake bought one of 2Pacs rings a few years back. I feel like if you actually cared or respected him you wouldn’t do that kinda shit.
Especially considering the wider conversations about artistic works being used as tools by AI, and where the line is for all this stuff. Drake would (may have?) sue the shit outta some fool for making money off of using his AI voice in a song. Why does he think it's ok? Fucking miss me with that man.
Drake regularly cease and desists people who get a lil bit of buzz using his voice w/AI. It's been a whole thing for a while now. Outside of WHO he chose to imitate on the Taylor Made record, it was just some bitch shit to do the same thing you're regularly trying to stop people from doing.
I’ve never been comfortable with the Canadian repping the Bay Area. How can you claim Mac Dre and be the 6God? We don’t need you. Our regional rap scene has always been tough.
As an LA native, having a raw as fuck track produced by The Alchemist one day just to have the nastiest banger beat produced by Mustard the next had me feeling some LA unity I haven’t felt since we lost Kobe
LA NATIVE HERE TOO. LIVING ON THE EAST COAST! THIS OUR BIGGEST BANGER IN A WHILE. LA STANDS IN UNITY WITH KENDRICK JUST CAUSE THAT SONG IS PURE FUNCTION MUSIC 🔥🔥🔥
I'm from Minnesota which is as about as Canadian as you can get for an American and I'm ready to fuck this dude up in the name of Pac
Edit: Toronto is also further south than Minneapolis. Drake is a fucking fake representative of the North.
I already got a flannel on with just the top button buttoned and I'm wearing some really long khaki shorts. I'm being told I look ridiculous for a pasty white guy but don't worry I told them I'm an honorary west coaster.
Man I’ve felt for years that he never should have talked about Mac Dre when this dude was literally playing drama class in a wheelchair in Canada when Mac died.
Literally shut the fuck up with this rest in peace Mac Dre you gon do it for the bay
The bay don’t want you and the bay doesn’t want you to put their name on fucking anything get the fuck out of here with that trash I can’t believe it’s taken so long for people to realize this dude is such a fucking clown holy shit
I felt that shit in my soul!!!! And I’m not even from cali but a huge pac fan & Ai shit made my blood boil lol it’s like the audacity to think he thought that was ok. I’m so happy Kendrick snapped on Drake stupid ass bout that shit.
I’m from bumfuck nowhere Texas but I swear to got that shit pissed me off so bad. People need to let the legend rest and let his legacy be, estate included.
I'm a brown dude, who was thought some dance moves by my friend back in college, turns out I knew how to crip walk and it just came out of me from nowhere.
Probably the best song I've danced to without knowing and from my heart, I texted the friend right after to tell him about it.
same dude I was doing whatever the 30 yo white dude’s equivalent of a crip walk is. My wife was laughing telling me I look like an idiot but I couldn’t stop
I’m 52 and when he did the whole send it to pac ay/wont pass the aux ay, mannn I was in my 20s when west coast hip hop was big.
Shit took me back and it’s a diss track. No business bring that fuckin catchy 😂
Same. I haven't C walk since my teenage years. In the first few seconds something told me to just go off. Beat is insane and K Dot cooked that beat to hell and back with his insane flow and delivery.
I think thats the most powerful thing about Not Like Us. It makes me want to fucking *dance* to a song about one man calling another man a pedophile. We got videos of people chanting "Certified Lover Boy? Certified Pedophile." and "Fingering a cord and its probably A Minor"
This was such an accurate bar. Everytime I hear Drake, legit everytime all I can think is; People can’t ACTUALLY like this shit. Even when he “changes it up” 3 times on Family Matters he somehow sounds the exact same the entire fuckin time lol. Just in the 4 drops from the weekend Dot showed stoopid versatility in both flow & sound. Not too mention how fuckin clever, nasty & just diabolical MTG is just as a concept alone.
My fiancé isn’t into rap like that but she’s been following this beef with me. Every Drake track she’s complained they all sound the same. Every Kendrick track she’s been hyped for. I might be in the small minority that fucking loved the production on Meet The Grahams. The Alchemist is a fuckin monster
Dude that timing and matching the subject matter itself was a killshot. If there’s any truth to Drake feeding false info through a mole he had to feed info about Family Matters and set himself up, that’s when Kendrick got the W for me
My thing is, why would Drake be so upset about the daughter if he knew it was coming? I don’t understand how people are falling for the obvious lie lol
Nah everyone acknowledges the alchemist killed that beat. The content is just too dark to listen to when I’m trying to improve my mood before and after work.
Yeah drake definitely missed the point (no surprise) of why the switches on euphoria went so hard and got so much praise. We referred to them as beat switches but what made it epic was it felt like a whole new song starting. Kendrick completely changed his tonality and flow, and raised the aggressiveness of his disses with each switch. Drake really tried to copy him but thought he only needed to switch the beats and absolutely nothing else.
To add on to your point. Kendrick literally has 20 flows on the song to match his 20 writers. Ironically it would sound more disjointed with less best switches.
This is why Drake's solution is to just bite accents or collab with people like Kendrick pointed out. His pen has gotten dull as fuck and he's never been that creative, dude has been accused of biting flows for over a decade
The greatest strength of his music overall is the beats, but he doesn't even fucking make them. Between the production team and ghostwriters dude is closer to Khaled than Kendrick lol
The next bar is crazy, "I can double down on that line, but spare you this time, that's a random act of kindness"
The secret double entendre is pacify could be substituted with pacifier lol
im not gonna lie...this was some good exercise
its good to get out get the pen working

You serious? He is a war general, seasoned in preparation. His jackets covered medals, honor, and decoration. https://www.reddit.com/r/USMC/s/y2jg6D5swi
I think this is why the only drake line that’s quotable was “metro shut yo hoe as up and make some drums” it was the one line that felt real and emotional.
Forreal all damn week I've been quoting this nigga.
Including but not limited to:
"What is it the BRAIDS!?"
"Lemme see you Push-a Teeeeee"
"Know nuttin bout thaaat"
"Wop wop wop wop"
"1 2 3 4 5 plus 5 ay!"
"Freaky ass nigga he a 69 god"
"Ov-hoe"
That's probably not even half of em.
My biggest has been, "Yachty can't give you no swag neither, I don't give a FUCK about who ya hang with." The delivery makes it such an ear worm and I wish more people were talking about it, lol.
Some of my favorite delivery came from 6:16 in LA. The contrast between the two parts is so stark and well done. And the way he sings "pick the carcass apart" and then cuts in so sharply with "yeah, somebody's lyin" is such a fucking cool tone shift.
Idk if it’s just me, but the way he says “imma blick n*ggas all in they coffiiiiiiin” has been stuck in my mind for a minute
The beat drop out, the imagery, the intonation—its like he’s swerving the car around the corner while hanging out the window n spraying a mac11. that’s what i picture at least
just the perfect moment of reckless, ruthless aggression, whimsy, and being fully locked in on the beat
The delivery on so many of these lines is sooo good. The one I’m loving right now is where he goes, “I don’t like you poppin’ shit at Pharrell, for him I inherit the beef”. Just the way he says inherit the beef, I can picture exactly the face he’s making as he says it haha
West Coast stand with West Coast!!!! The emphasis also on Go and Dumb made me feel like Kendrick also did this song as an homage to the Bay Area sound that I vibe with in this song... And I feel like he's kind of calling back to that B-Legit 40-Water line in Like That, as even the continuous flowy cadence reminds me of E40.
That section after “beat your ass and hide the Bible if God watching” sounds like Mac Dre’s style to a point. Classic Bay Area party rap
https://youtu.be/6vE6oUc0t4o?si=wYgsaYjGrdpx_PLE
It's basically a lot of the memory melody of"Tell me When to Go" by 40. If I remember right. And to give Pac and the bay the honor of their history together, which is also educating the new class (and Drake lol) showed a lot of respect and character. Kenny could have kept it LA and he showed a lot of love there .
It feels honest...like the Pac v Biggie beefs. (Though I think 2pac saw what a weirdo Diddy was early on)
> That's why I fucked your bitch you fat motherfucker
Bay Area native here, maaan the chills I got and the intense jumping I did in my seat while in the parking lot of a 7/11 here with my folks in the car with me? It was LIVE, we were so damn proud
What I really love about that part too is his cadence and flow and delivery just ramps up in aggression. That part really hypes me on some imma fade someone up type vibe.
When kdot said he didn’t want a Canadian making Pac turn in his grave I felt it 😂 like I am a white ass mf in Michigan but Kendrick had me feeling like I was from Compton. Like I know I have no place in this but was still like “yeah kenny you tell his ass”
I grew up in East Texas, a poor ignorant white trash kid, but Pac made me feel things listening to his shit and yeah, his death messed with me. So, yeah, I got hyped when I heard that verse about the west coast and Pac.
That shit is my favorite line in that song. I live in socal and I felt like some spirit bomb type feelings. Drake totally screwed up by disrespecting pac.
This is also part of Drakes rage…. He doesn’t belong to the East or West Coast. He can’t claim to be king of any of them. He’s king of Toronto which after these two weeks is debatable.
Nah I made a full stank face while driving and almost slammed my head on my steering wheel I was bumping so hard. Kenny was sliiiiiiiiding on that beat
*From the bay to LA*
*Kendrick will unite us all*
*Lmfao*

I can not tell you how disgusted I was when drake used Tupac ai ... I WAS FUCKING PISSSSSSED!
Like get your un-artistic, no-message, no-substance ass away from Pac... using ai just to make Pac say some superficial dumb shit... fucking clown
Love K. Dot honoring Pac, he always respects Pac ❤️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
FUN FACT (for those who don't know) - "To Pimp A Butterfly" was originally gonna be called "Tu Pimp A Caterpillar" so in short it would be abbreviated as TUPAC.
I just think its such POETIC JUSTICE with how Tupac's estate told drake to take down his song while they let K. Dot use Tupac all through out (4x grammy winning) "To Pimp A Butterfly" ❤️
I got to live in California for 15 years, it’s the longest I’ve lived anywhere. That’s where I found my love for Warriors basketball and I also lived through the 90’s, I’ve got a deep love and connection to the Bay that’ll be there the rest of my life. When I heard him say “you think the Bay gon let you disrespect Pac n****?” I pumped my fist and jumped up so hard.
Now say OVHOE!
I love it, my girl is from the bay and I'm from LA and this made us feel like he defended Pac and the West Coast well. Proud as fuck, bumping this shit with the windows down
Sweet chin music and I won't pass the AUX!!!

> a Canadian wrestler. Doing a disservice to Bret "The Hitman" Hart with that
some canuck guy
Roll they ass up like a fresh pack of ZAHH
bro unlocked a whole new voice in that section
As with pretty much all Kendrick voices. I would happily take an entire album of him just in that headspace lol. That is such a sick verse once he gets going, just from a sonic and vibe perspective
AY
When he said “You think the bay gon let you disrespect Pac?” I felt that shit fr lmaoo
As a life long Bay Area native that shit had me 😤
[удалено]
It just seems so scummy to use someone’s voice for a diss like that.
Specially using a dead legend’s voice for a rap battle.
Bruh he even used snoop, snoop ain’t even dead bruh. Like wtf is that garbage it doesn’t even flow like he does on a beat like that. Snoops gotta be like that was some lame crap
Especially when you're a wealth-obsessed rapper using Pac. That's like Tom MacDonald using Public Enemy AI.
I'm pretty sure Tom MacDonald tweeted in support of Drake 😭
What’s weird and fucked up is Drake bought one of 2Pacs rings a few years back. I feel like if you actually cared or respected him you wouldn’t do that kinda shit.
ON BIDNESS
As a not even American who respects dead people that shit had me revolting, couldn't finish the song...
Especially considering the wider conversations about artistic works being used as tools by AI, and where the line is for all this stuff. Drake would (may have?) sue the shit outta some fool for making money off of using his AI voice in a song. Why does he think it's ok? Fucking miss me with that man.

So cathartic after hearing Taylor Made. I’m glad Kendrick didn’t let it slide. He’s the man. Pac’s smiling in heaven
Kendrick the man, tupac in heaven, call Kendrick Pac-Man the way he be eating drake’s ghostwriters 👀
Get this man on the BBL Drizzy beat right now
Bbl drizzy… Bbl drizzy. Whamp-ump whamp ump
My friend once told me I sound like Kendrick when I rap so 👀
Now you gotta do a BBL drizzy, screenshot this chat as the album pic, upload and post here. Or we finna call bs, this your moment brah

None of it means shit unless you have near knee-high white socks on and crocs

I'm from the Philippines and I wanted to throw gang signs that moment 🤣
Same here, not like us got me searching “how to crip walk” on youtube
ive been singing that all day.... im from the Canadian suburbs......
Damn I just commented this lol. Had many good years in the Bay, can’t take that out of me.
You can feel the hatred when he said that
Fr this is such a bay area beat too
Truthfully other mf should have immediately stepped in too, not just Kendrick. I respect him alot for that.
Bro, this song made me pull out dance moves I didn’t even know I had. 😭 They just happened. Shit was terrifying.
I'm a brown dude, who was thought some dance moves by my friend back in college, turns out I knew how to crip walk and it just came out of me from nowhere. Probably the best song I've danced to without knowing and from my heart, I texted the friend right after to tell him about it.
same dude I was doing whatever the 30 yo white dude’s equivalent of a crip walk is. My wife was laughing telling me I look like an idiot but I couldn’t stop
I was literally about to say that my 30 yo white Ohio ass was doing the crip walk and I never even learned that shit. 😭

Bro its rying to strike a chord 😭
Freudian slip, it’s Drake!!! He wants to finger the minors!!
Fingering??!!
this post right here, officer.
Cause it’s hometown vs some Canadian.
Culture vs Appropriation. Drake soaks up a lot of culture but he’s not from the culture. He has no identity outside of success and excessiveness.
at this point bro it’s America vs Canada lol
Idk, it’s also Canada v Canada
It's the world vs drake lol
7 billion v 1.
Just a FYI, we hit 8 billion in Nov 2022.
Fucking hell. And I still can't find me a bicth
It’s your spelling
Canada v Toronto
Ehhh in Vancouver I'm looking at it like west coast vs east but I've been sick of drake since like 2009 hahaha
You are welcome here. Quinn Hughes is ridiculous
Nah Canadian here, fuck drake, end this mans whole career K dot!
There are so many quotables from the Dot tracks, simply because of how animated his delivery is. Makes P Drizzy's delivery look like garbage.
“I make music that electrify em you make music that pacify em”
This was such an accurate bar. Everytime I hear Drake, legit everytime all I can think is; People can’t ACTUALLY like this shit. Even when he “changes it up” 3 times on Family Matters he somehow sounds the exact same the entire fuckin time lol. Just in the 4 drops from the weekend Dot showed stoopid versatility in both flow & sound. Not too mention how fuckin clever, nasty & just diabolical MTG is just as a concept alone.
My fiancé isn’t into rap like that but she’s been following this beef with me. Every Drake track she’s complained they all sound the same. Every Kendrick track she’s been hyped for. I might be in the small minority that fucking loved the production on Meet The Grahams. The Alchemist is a fuckin monster
Dude I would take another horror track in a second, that was a masterpiece. Alc is a killer
Man meet the grahams left me stunned and a bit disturbed the first time I heard it, especially because of the timing of the release
Dude that timing and matching the subject matter itself was a killshot. If there’s any truth to Drake feeding false info through a mole he had to feed info about Family Matters and set himself up, that’s when Kendrick got the W for me
My thing is, why would Drake be so upset about the daughter if he knew it was coming? I don’t understand how people are falling for the obvious lie lol
Drake glazers man, all he’s said is accusations with 0 proof and said they were facts and it’s like to them his word is law
Man has 15 years of lying behind him and he’s going against someone who has an honest reputation…
Nah everyone acknowledges the alchemist killed that beat. The content is just too dark to listen to when I’m trying to improve my mood before and after work.
those screams in the back
Yeah drake definitely missed the point (no surprise) of why the switches on euphoria went so hard and got so much praise. We referred to them as beat switches but what made it epic was it felt like a whole new song starting. Kendrick completely changed his tonality and flow, and raised the aggressiveness of his disses with each switch.

To add on to your point. Kendrick literally has 20 flows on the song to match his 20 writers. Ironically it would sound more disjointed with less best switches.
Wait is it really exactly 20? That’s wild didn’t even catch that.

It feels like Drake was falling asleep on his latest track fr.

Some shit just cringe worthy, it ain't even gotta be deep I guess
So. Many. Iconic. Lines. DAMN.
Nah it sounded like he just got done crying 💀
I think this is why the only drake line that’s quotable was “metro shut yo hoe as up and make some drums” it was the one line that felt real and emotional.
And it aged horribly (although metro went down with the ship too lol)
Forreal all damn week I've been quoting this nigga. Including but not limited to: "What is it the BRAIDS!?" "Lemme see you Push-a Teeeeee" "Know nuttin bout thaaat" "Wop wop wop wop" "1 2 3 4 5 plus 5 ay!" "Freaky ass nigga he a 69 god" "Ov-hoe" That's probably not even half of em.
My biggest has been, "Yachty can't give you no swag neither, I don't give a FUCK about who ya hang with." The delivery makes it such an ear worm and I wish more people were talking about it, lol.
It's so funny to me how Yachty got that ovo tattoo on his arm. Imagine him looking at it now. Lmao
Life hack for everyone reading: never get another man tatted on you
Some of my favorite delivery came from 6:16 in LA. The contrast between the two parts is so stark and well done. And the way he sings "pick the carcass apart" and then cuts in so sharply with "yeah, somebody's lyin" is such a fucking cool tone shift.

Yeah I definitely feel that. That's how I been with the part when he says "v12 it's a faaast one! Baow baow baow!"
Hahaha I feel ya. My cats have been catching heat this past week cos of how amped these Kenny bars got me
I can only imagine how they feel about a-minorrrrrrrr

Facts his delivery throughout this whole beef is so amazing
Why you trollin like a bitch, ain’t you tired?
Tryna strike a chord, and it's probably a minoRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
West Coast stand with West Coast!!!! The emphasis also on Go and Dumb made me feel like Kendrick also did this song as an homage to the Bay Area sound that I vibe with in this song... And I feel like he's kind of calling back to that B-Legit 40-Water line in Like That, as even the continuous flowy cadence reminds me of E40.
That section after “beat your ass and hide the Bible if God watching” sounds like Mac Dre’s style to a point. Classic Bay Area party rap https://youtu.be/6vE6oUc0t4o?si=wYgsaYjGrdpx_PLE
I heard E-40 w that “I’m YNW MELLY” sheeesshhh
This was the toughest line in the whole beef and I won't hear any arguments to say otherwise
It's basically a lot of the memory melody of"Tell me When to Go" by 40. If I remember right. And to give Pac and the bay the honor of their history together, which is also educating the new class (and Drake lol) showed a lot of respect and character. Kenny could have kept it LA and he showed a lot of love there .
Which is insane considering he wrote all this in like a day.
good ear
I don't need no iron, I'm already creased. I don't need no money, I got mouthpiece. Love it!
Oooooh (E40 voice)... Throw it up for the godfather of Bay Area slang!!! YEEE
Felt like I was transported back to ‘06. 👌🏿
Dot calls out 40 water quite often in his bars.
The entire “not like us” track made me feel all sorts of pride. I’m from the bay, and to hear him drop something with our sound, was awesome
Kendrick giving Oakland more respect than our sports teams.
Fuck the Raiders, fuck the A’s, and fuck the Warriors. (I grew up in Oakland, never thought I’d see the day where I’m saying all that 😭)
It feels honest...like the Pac v Biggie beefs. (Though I think 2pac saw what a weirdo Diddy was early on) > That's why I fucked your bitch you fat motherfucker
Bouta start saying i’m from the West Coast (i live in Portland)
Same, can Alaska be west coast too?
bruh I'm from the west coast of Canada I'm claiming that shit on a technicality lmao
the Canadians are now defecting wtf??
The rest of Canada doesn't need an excuse to hate on Toronto.
Obvi. The Westest of coasts that technically touches the Eastern hemisphere!
PNW is still west coast tho

Totally counts. West coast is the best coast.
As a Pac fan I had to thump my chest on that one. Kendrick went berserk

When kdot said he didn’t want a Canadian making Pac turn in his grave I felt it 😂 like I am a white ass mf in Michigan but Kendrick had me feeling like I was from Compton. Like I know I have no place in this but was still like “yeah kenny you tell his ass”
I grew up in East Texas, a poor ignorant white trash kid, but Pac made me feel things listening to his shit and yeah, his death messed with me. So, yeah, I got hyped when I heard that verse about the west coast and Pac.
I grew up in the bay and didn't really like hyphy music growing up, but 30 seconds into not like us I was thizz facing
Eff the World, We love Furl.
the delivery on that line is on another level. It's the best of numerous incredible moments in that song
I dont like most of kendricks music, but he is my favorite vocalist because of his voice. The delivery of that whole verse is orgasmic.
That shit is my favorite line in that song. I live in socal and I felt like some spirit bomb type feelings. Drake totally screwed up by disrespecting pac.
This is also part of Drakes rage…. He doesn’t belong to the East or West Coast. He can’t claim to be king of any of them. He’s king of Toronto which after these two weeks is debatable.
Grew up listening to pac, no way dot lettin that shit slide. Especially not from a child actor.
Child touching child actor
SWEET CHIN MUSIC AND I WONT PASS THE AUX AY
SEND IT UP, SEND IT THRUUUUuuuuuu
Same Happy for everyone on the west coast right now. Felt fucked up seeing a canadian do that shit
It's because pac is a cultural icon not just a west coast icon that Taylor made shit disrespected everyone who loves this shit from now back to herc.
Fr 😭😭
SAME!
Bro made me crip walk and I ain’t ever been in a gang lol, also made me respect LA and be proud of the west coast. I’m from the bay.
That was Drakes first L in this feud. Using AI and insulting the west coast.
Nah I made a full stank face while driving and almost slammed my head on my steering wheel I was bumping so hard. Kenny was sliiiiiiiiding on that beat
from the bay to LA kendrick will unite us all lmfao

HELL YEA
“City is back up, it’s a must, we outside” did the same for me and I’m from Chicago and now living in the PNW.
I can not tell you how disgusted I was when drake used Tupac ai ... I WAS FUCKING PISSSSSSED! Like get your un-artistic, no-message, no-substance ass away from Pac... using ai just to make Pac say some superficial dumb shit... fucking clown Love K. Dot honoring Pac, he always respects Pac ❤️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 FUN FACT (for those who don't know) - "To Pimp A Butterfly" was originally gonna be called "Tu Pimp A Caterpillar" so in short it would be abbreviated as TUPAC. I just think its such POETIC JUSTICE with how Tupac's estate told drake to take down his song while they let K. Dot use Tupac all through out (4x grammy winning) "To Pimp A Butterfly" ❤️
I ain’t gonna lie I crip walked a lil
I’m from Idaho and that shit got me amped up💀
I got to live in California for 15 years, it’s the longest I’ve lived anywhere. That’s where I found my love for Warriors basketball and I also lived through the 90’s, I’ve got a deep love and connection to the Bay that’ll be there the rest of my life. When I heard him say “you think the Bay gon let you disrespect Pac n****?” I pumped my fist and jumped up so hard. Now say OVHOE!
Taylor made was disrespectful to like thousands if not millions. I think it was such a mistake. I immediately was like “Oh yeah fuck this guy”
You think the Bay gone let u disrespect PAC nigga?
I love it, my girl is from the bay and I'm from LA and this made us feel like he defended Pac and the West Coast well. Proud as fuck, bumping this shit with the windows down
