Old white guy here: when I first heard Kendrick got the Pulitzer Prize, I was like “for a rap record??” So I checked it out for myself. And DAMN is right. The man is brilliant. Thank you.
Kdot in nutshell: -Calls Drake into the room to have a "chat" -Proceeds to break him down calmly -THEN cooks him for the next 5min -Just before Kdot leaves the room, he stands at the door, turns around to look at Drake to say "We don't wanna hear you say nigga no more." Damn.
A lot of people are missing the line talking about paying 500k to an open case… drake had sexual assault charges against him and paid 530k to keep the accuser quiet while the case was still open 😬🤫
My absolute favorite bar!!! I yell it out every day!!! "What is it, the braids?!?! I hurt yo feelings?!?! You don't wanna work with me no more?!?! O.k.!!!"
Drake is tasty fastfood. Its quick easy taste good but doesnt nourish you an isnt good long term. Kendrick is that home cooked meal from your grandma. Its real its good for you its soul food its from the HERITAGE
I'm a white boy from Toronto, so Drake's target demo. That anyone can listen to this and come away thinking anything other than Kendrick is 1 of 1 idk what to say.
But he lacks humor compared to drake. Humor goes a long way in a diss. Making your open look like a joke kills aura. Drake is better at that then Kendrick is in my opinion.
I used to be a Drake fan for like his first 3-4 albums. Kendrick is a great lyricist, though some of his music is not for me. Drake is a pop/R&B artist. The problem is that Drake tries to act like he is about "that life", but it is just not believable. Eminem is full white, but he doesn't lie about his life. Eminem has some haters, but overall, he has been hip-hop certified. Drake will never have the respect of real hip-hop fans. He is like a music politician who plays every side for votes.
Thanks bro you say what people don't understand lil Wayne and Kanye had to help him with lyrics even Eminem had to help him for the song forever why you think Eminem never made a song with him again
@@francobanko6722 sorry, but Drake is the male version of Taylor Swift. He is 37 years old and his music targets teenagers. That is why I stopped listening to his music.
People are gonna say Drake won because they love having music to get ready to shop at Target to. That's important, no disrespect, but K-dot different man. He ain't built to rap for your axe body spraying ass getting ready to go buy candles at Target. K-dot makin art. Period.
I might be tripping here but maybe when Kendrick says he hates the way drake walk, talk, dress etc he is referring DMX saying that about drake? Cause DMX said he didn't like the way drake talk, walk and dress too 😶🌫️
Same!!!!! 1982 girl!!! Kendrick touched my soul in this! Drake is playing at Target. I’m shopping in peace hearing some lyrics that has me thinking…sir are you predator?😮
The verse at the very beginning about mathematics is layered. A degenerate is an immoral or corrupt person. But, in mathematics, degeneracy is a class where an object becomes increasingly simpler than the rest of the objects in the same class. It's a layered diss. Also, here's the thing about the opening verse about pacifying an audience. He's layering an entendre about the consistent grooming allegations that follow Drake because he dates very, very young women. This theme is repeated several times in the following verses including, most immediatley, the 500k open case referencing Drake paying a young woman off to close a sexual assault case. This, to me, is one of the most vicious diss tracks since Ether. Because he's attacking everything about Drake's identity and how fragile it appears to be. Pusha T had the craziest reveal in a track ever (I mean, how often do you reveal someone had a kid that most of pop culture didn't know about) in a diss. But bar for bar this entire track is fucking brutal.
I think you nailed it when you said Drake is going to come back with something catchy. Because that's exactly what's going to happen and the simple minds will love it. I had to sit down with this track quite a few times to unpack everything. There's a lot of hidden meanings in there. Everything Drake will have is on the surface. Btw, I watch a lot of your videos because I'm pretty well-rounded, it's cool that you threw this into the rotation
The simple minds are the people like you who buy in to Kendrick's fake woke agenda. If you knew black history you would know why calling drake white is a slap in the face of many civil rights activists throughout history. Kendrick talking a bunch of metaphors but saying a whole lot of nothing. Kendrick fans and his catalogue remind me of the emperor has no clothes. He is fake woke and dangerous for black rights, but no one wants to seem stupid and say the emperor has no clothes
That what I saying people saying drake win but I told them you need to listen to the words and the word play is mad like how many black features till you fill black bro he not black he do black face took out his nose because it is a black men nose
Did you delete my post lol. Ill repost it. The simple minds are the ones supporting Kendrick’s agenda. He is fake woke. To call drake white is a slap in the face to civil rights activists throughout history. You do not know black history is you call drake white. As far as kendrick he reminds me of the emperor has no clothes He has a fake woke agenda but people wont say the emperor has no clothes because they afraid to look stupid

“Is it me or is Kendrick rapping in different voices or something?” Giiiirl you said you was a Kendrick fan! He been doing that 😂 takes after his idol Prince
@@brittreacts ya me too also u put another comment for u to Check Out Coast Contra Cosmic Kev Freestyle Taj got a line where he said its the 5 9 giant tell me time and time again I dont care who what where what on my mind is Win.. Coast Contra Catalog is Nasty
Drake fans will try to play this down, but its a perfect diss/response. (Euphoria) drake is being called a pedo( theres footage of him kissing a 17 yr old on stage). Theres a TV show called Euphoria about underage ppl, thats produced by drake. Drake dropped 2 disses( i liked them) and kdot didnt respond so he was in a good mood but now kdot is coming to change the mood ( euphoria) basically, just with the name of the track, kdot has won 😅
It's layers on layers. Kendrick INTENTIONALLY dropped on a Tuesday because Kenny is GOING UP and BBL painted nails Queen Drakey is featured on a song called Tuesday and the hook says, "and I'm going up on a Tuesday." He also dropped the diss at exactly 8:24am. Kobe jersey numbers. And Kobe scored 81 against Toronto and BBL painted nails Queen Drakey is from Toronto. Also April 30 is the day Hitler died.
For those that don't know about the weird very beginning audio, from genius: The original audio is a reverse from the 1978 film The Wiz, a remake of 1939’s The Wizard of Oz. The full line from the movie, spoken by Richard Pryor as The Wizard, is: "Everything they say about me is true, I’m a phony…" (great movie, corny but good)
The sample that Kendrick Lamar A.K.A.(Also Known As) K. Dot used right at the beginning of Euphoria is another Classic Hit Slow Song by The Iconic,Legendary,And The Late Great Theodore Teddy Pendergrass called You're My Latest,My Greatest Inspiration.
“Back to back I like that record I’m a get back to that for the record”…..also on the album art it says that almost had a week….I think Kendrick dropping again Friday
Teddy Pendergrass Greatest Inspiration was that sample, there's a reason why this man won a Pulitzer & yes Drake will come out with something catchy and easy to digest and it will be a huge hit bc ppl don't want to have to think when they listen to rap, like you said they want a trap beat and simple lyrics, I hate seeing this genre being wasted
Can’t listen to Euphoria just once. You must listen several times. No, many times to get it. Gotta break it down line by line! It’s a masterpiece! Pure genius!
Coming back to this at the end of it all. Its Kendrick that took it across the board. My 14 YO son and all of thst generation is all on team Kendrick. Not Like Us nailed the coffin shut. Kendrick had this shit road mapped and ready. He knew he had to come correct and CLEANED this shit
The Haley joel scheme Was talking about the popular preacher and how he has a huge following like Drake. And how sometimes people see "the holy ghost" in church (ghost writers) but then also the actor (drake was an actor too) was in sixth sense and a "I see dead people" line more ghost writers an also he was in the movie AI.
Wrong, Haley Joel Osmet was a child actor on the Sixth Sense and AI. Hence why Kendrick said he was in the movie. He confused the names but great bar nonetheless.
Kendrick flows in this: His own Lil Wayne DMX twice 2Pac those are the ones I could pick up And you said sounds like Nicki as well. He even mockingly changed his accent to british, canadian, and one other to pronounce Crodie since Drake says it has to be pronounced in a whiny voice
I'm only 4 minutes in but her facial expressions are priceless whenever she hears a really good bar...I may stay around cause she is adorable processesing these rap beefs
I haven’t even finished your video yet. I’m six minutes and 24 seconds in and this is already my favorite response. You can tell you’re really listen to and processing and already know the play-by-play or how it’s going to go and we one third through the song.
The line: first time I shot a Drac is a pretty amazing double entendre. Literally, he’s speaking of a Draco, which is a short barreled AK style pistol-gripped rifle. In full automatic, if you don’t aim really low the burst will have you pointing up at the sky. The advice Kendrick was given was to aim low, so that the burst will travel up his target. The double entendre is of course Drac is for Drake, and “aiming low” is going as low and dirty as Drake did. First time, he tried to keep the high road but now he’s gonna do Drake nasty.
The beef between Drake & Kendrick Lamar actually started 10 years ago. Kendrick Lamar dropped a verse on the song Control by Big Sean & called out some mainstream artists at the time, including Drake. He just wanted to bring competition back into the rap world by doing that. Drake is the only person that truthfully & honestly got mad about the verse from Kendrick. So 10 years later, here we are today, the beef is still alive with them. You should listen to that song & you got a new subscriber from this video.
And I think that was crazy of Drake to be mad about. Big krit, which is a slept on rapper got called out in that diss. He looked at it as friendly competition but grateful to accept the challenge. If he didn’t feel any type of way, Drake definitely shouldn’t have took it that way.
Watching all these reactions on these videos, and I really enjoyed your video. Kendrick destroyed Drake, then danced on his grave with everyone else with "Not Like Us". New fan of Kendrick here, heard of him before this, now he has my attention and respect. Thanks for this video!
I ain't ever seen someone so thoroughly walk down their opponent. This shit was surgical! The TITLE is a double, the first sample is a double.... there's levels to this
Kendrick stans are now on the same level with Snyder fans . You need genius level Intellect to understand them. Kendrick didnt even make it difficult. He did what he is known for .
