Kendrick Lamar -  

Reaction Starts: 3:00 Initial Thoughts: 16:16 Looking at the Lyrics: 18:32 How Does Drake Respond?: 21:44 Bro Kendrick is NOT letting up...

Kendrick basically said, "If you want true peace like me, I have the blueprint... Take a break, step away from the limelight for a bit, raise your son, drop the cosplay, and cut some toxic people out of your circle." EDIT after we met the Grahams: Drake should've used Kendrick's blueprint instead of battling... ☠☠

The fact you caught Prince’s whole initial reaction on camera is gold 😂😂

The circadian rhythm/ shooting star bar went over way too many peoples heads. Circadian rhythms refer to your sleep/wake cycles and is most heavily influenced by the amount of sun light exposure, but other things too like diet and physical activity. Shooting stars are space debris like natural satellites or space rocks that travel around the galaxy based on the gravitational pull of the sun, and visible from the earth every few decades, even centuries or so, a famous example would be Halley’s comet, which will next be seen over the earth in 2061. What makes this bar hard is that Kendrick compares his wake/sleep cycle to a shooting star, meaning he wakes every so often and then returns to his slumber, and when he does return, it’s a spectacle, an event, like when Halley’s Comet passes

The first verse was more revealing. It's so beautifully written and he's saying his life is okay and he just wants to create art, but now his hand has been forced and he's asking God to forgive him for what he's about to do.

All this proves is that Cole made a very solid business decision 😂

Kendrick really is the Boogeyman.

“Can’t hide behind wifi” then goes on to say “You need a new route(r)” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The fact that he dropped it on IG is hilarious. It's as if he’s coming for Drake's favorite social media platform. Not even his meme reactions are safe 😂

This whole beef is showing which youtube channels just want to capitalize on the reaction and which ones are actual hip-hop students from the game. You know your shit and we all can see it. Great channel.

the way he said “kendrick dropped?!” then looked back at the DAMN. album 😂

The ending bar is actually reference to the days leading up to Michael Jackson's death, paranoid and eventually killed by somebody in his own team, symbolizing that drake is actually less structurally safe than he thinks that he is, and hints that if something is not changed or done, he will actually end up like MJ, killed by his own team, and it deemed an accident and shoved under the rug.

The "Who am I if I don't go to War?" line is also CRAZY referencing a dialogue between Lord Krishna and King Arjuna in Chapter 1 of the Bhagavad Gita!!! New level of respect for Kendrick. This has been a clinic so far.

the goat reactors no lie

Drake feels like the sacrificial lamb for the resurrection of hip-hop and after Kendrick says “every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose.” It feels like that more 😅

This one was educational. He’s helping Drake see himself clearly. It’s altruistic in a way

Kendrick gave multiple warnings……THEN he spent the rest of the week burying drake Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

First part seems like Kendrick doing his impression of the typical drake time stamp record. Talking about him overseas, drinking wine, buying boats etc before he gets into it. Crazy song I love it

Kendrick is picking Drake layers by layers. This is art folks 🔥 Surgical summer in full effect!

He's saying, I'm not just a better rapper, I'm a better man.

6/16 *2Pac birthday *The date of Nicole Simpson funeral *The date Ford Company was founded (Ford Bronco was driven by OJ) * Kendrick 1st tour in Toronto * Euphoria release date (Aubrey is an executive producer) * Father's Day Also the sample is of Al Green's "What a Wonderful Thing Love is" which gives instrumental credits to 3 of Aubrey's uncles. Kendrick is a mad man.

Bruh. Yall actually are SMART and understand the angle of the first half of this song. I’m highly disappointed in my circle of friends that just seem to be dense or are somehow against thinking. Smh. Yall earned my subscription today.

Also, Drake’s uncle was a guitarist as well as a songwriter for Al Green. Kendrick shifting pieces with this shit lol

“Off-white Sunseeker at the marina” has to be one of the craziest bars in any diss tracks ever

I’m still walking around saying “ Youuuu better walking around like Daft Punk, REMEMBER”

I feel like the first part is Kendrick saying: “I also have money, i also live how i want and buy what i want. But i still have my morale and culture and peace while you traded all that for fame and money.”

Darae hit the nail on the head. Euphoria was for the fans; this is for Drake. That’s why Dot posted it on IG - Drake basically lives there. This is an Al Green sample, last one was Teddy P, Teddy P and Al G have an album called “Back to Back Hits” 6/16 is Pac’s bday, Father’s Day, premiere date of Euphoria TV show, date OJ Simpson charges were filed, date of Nicole Brown Simpson’s funeral, and multiple bible verses that could apply (eg Luke 6:16, Proverbs 6:16)

Teddy Pendergrass had the sample on euphoria, Al Green had the sample on this track. They both had a collab greatest hits album titled back to back. Now remember on euphoria when Kendrick said “Back to back, I like that record. Ima get back to that for the record” 🤯🤯🤯

I like how Kendrick kept the beat going for like 20-30 seconds so it can linger and get under drakes skin

everyone was refreshing the page for the reaction lol

Drake asked for quintuple entendres and he got some 😂

“Off white sunseeker at the marina” to start the track is CRAZY work

I could imagine Drake’s ppl looking like “👀 “ when Kendrick started talking about his camp 😂

PRODUCED BY Jack Antonoff TAYLOR MADE😂😂🥷🏿♟️

When Kdot gets all 6 infinity stones, we're all fucked.

I reckon the put money in the streets line is a triple; 1. Trying to buy dirt on Kenny 2. Buying protection in the streets 3. Drake had claimed he gives money back "to the streets", Kendrick is saying ain't no receipts

Also with the Mike bar it goes deeper cause of the chorus of Man In The Mirror "I'M STARTING WITH THE MAN IN THE MIRROR, I'M ASKING HIM TO CHANGE HIS WAYS"

Kendrick is showing off, in the most elegant way, HE'S HIM 🔥

I just want everyone to acknowledge that Dot said in both Euphoria and 6:16 that Drake has tried to get dirt on him and has come up unsuccessful. Which means there is but so much Drake can say. There is no red button. Very beginning of the song, Kendrick says "somebody's lying. Smell somebody lying. I don't see no fire"

Y'all missed The Wire and Entourage being HBO shows and Euphoria too

It's so charming the way you guys look over at each other whenever you hear an especially good bar, like you're excited to see each other's reactions too.

The "put money in the streets" line is a call out to Drake trying to buy dirt on Kendrick. That's why in the follow up he says he's sorry that he's boring because there are no "receipts" to give (i.e. no damaging info Drake can use in his rhymes).

Kendrick dropping a diss from the angle of a private investigator is crazy. Gave him insider info, free of charge. I see why he has a song series called _The Heart_ 😂

Lyrics: 6:16 In LA Kendrick Lamar Uh (Uh) Uh (Uh) Uh, yeah (Uh) It's survival, survival I think somebody lying Smell somebody lying I don't see no fire Off-white Sunseeker at the marina Fuck a Phantom, I like to buy yachts when I get the fever Wine cooler spill on my white t-shirt, the sightseer Trifecta, money, morals, and culture, that's my leisure My visa, passport tatted, I show up in Ibiza Lucalis dwellings in Brooklyn just to book me some pizza Who could reach us? Only God could teleport this type of freedom God, ah My confession is yours, but Who am I if I don't go to war? There's opportunity when livin' with loss I discover myself when I fall short Raise my hands to a fallen sky, I fantasize Me jumpin' planets immortalized, I correspond Three angels watchin' me all the time Put my children to sleep with a prayer, then close my eyes Definition of peace Tell me who gon' stop me? I come from love Estelle cover my heart, then open me up Remember when picked up a pen, lyrics that I can trust Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin' where I was from Often, I know this type of power is gon' cost But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star The mannerisms of Raphael, I can heal and give you art But the industry's cooked as I pick the carcass apart Yeah, somebody's lyin', I can see the vibes on Ak Even he lookin' compromised, let's peel the layers back Ain't no brownie points for beating your chest, harassin' Ant Fuckin' with good people make good people go to bat Conspiracies about Cash, dog? That's not even the leak Find the jewels like Kash Doll, I just need you to think Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? Let's see Have you ever thought that OVO is workin' for me? Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it Can't toosie slide up outta this one, it's just gon' resurface Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose It was fun until you started to put money in the streets Then lost money 'cause they came back with no receipts I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace But war-ready if the world is ready to see you bleed The Elohim, KTW Know you can't sleep, these images trouble you Know the wires in your circle should puzzle you If you were street-smart, then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you A hundred niggas that you got on salary And twenty of 'em want you as a casualty And one of them is actually next to you And two of them is practically tired of your lifestyle Just don't got the audacity to tell you But let me tell you some game 'cause I can see you, my lil' homie You playin' dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots But your reality can't hide behind wifi Your lil' memes is losin' steam, they figured you out The forced opinions is not convincin', y'all need a new route It's time that you look around on who's around you Before you figure that you're not alone, ask what Mike would do

3:42 Kendrick sampled both Al Green and Teddy.. they both have a joint album called Back To Back, Drake’s uncle also played instruments for Al Green back in the day.

The psychological aspect to this diss is insane!! Mind you we still don't know how Push Ups leaked the first time. If Kendrick is saying he is inside the OVO camp, who's to say he hasn't already heard whatever Drake been cooking?? This is gonna make that man overthink everything. Postphone whatever he was planning to drop. Kendrick sounds really concerned here 😂 because he sees that Drake is truly OBLIVIOUS about whats happening around him. I also understand why he named his first diss Euphoria. I think Kendrick has a show prepared for us. Episodes that will play out dissecting this man. Because he sounds like he's got serious information here.

The sound at the beginning is the noise a Cryolipolysis Slimming V12 machine makes.. "Then tell em' where you get your abs from.. V12 it's a fast one" 🔥🔥🔥 Kendrick is slow cooking this dude in front of us all

You guys killed this analysis. "this is bigger than you" = spot on.

"this feels like overkill" - me watching this after meet the grahams dropped...

Not just the back to back line in euphoria but also the euphoria definition saying "they had ALMOST A WEEK to recover from the euphoria of TUESDAYS winning seires winning victory" shit was all planned

This was a father talking to a son.. schooling Drakes ass… Now Yall see why J Cole apologized

Last line has Drake thinking "I always feel like... somebody's watching meeeee"

00:45 "the mic not even here" prefaced by sharing exciting news with a friend is the realest example of reciprocal joy i can name to date

Circadian rhythms of a shooting star like hes not on everyones timeline. When he comes around its an event

Difference is Drake's a manipulator and Kendrick is calculating

Mike Jack also had a song called Man in the Mirror so wen he says ask wat Mike wud do hes basically sayin take a look at yaself in the mirror 🔥

BOYS WAKE UP

R Kelly wrote “You Are Not Alone” for MJ… let that marinate

BRUH-! I already been through Scru Face, Shawn Cee, No Life Shaq, and the Law Twins. I was outchea having anxiety attacks like “Where y’all AAAAATT-!”🗣️

I think the what would Mike do is referring too Man in the mirror 🪞. Mike said if you want to make a change, look at yourself. He's telling Drake he needs to look at himself and make some changes.

Family Matters + Meet the Grahams Don't know what time it is in the States, but we need an emergency reaction video rn

Bro I have new profound respect for Kendrick. I knew bro was good and I’ll admit I didn’t listen to him much but man he is dissecting Drake. Went from destroying his ego and the way he moves to exposing his inner circle. This is hip hop baby

Such a fire follow up song. He sounds super calculated and confident on this one. You can tell the killshot still hasn’t been let go yet. This is gonna be a hot summer !

This surpasses a diss song. This song is crazy good, beat is stupiddd

… the calm b4 the storm.. this is the calm😂😂🔥🔥🔥

Idk why these reactors aren’t even bigger than they are. They’re already big but, damn they’re so good. Keep pushing out content 🫡

You know after hearing this Drake gathered the whole OVO crew up into a room and got them to take a seat while he was stood up at the front looked round at all of them took two sniffs of the air and said "I smell a rat"

As you said, "the money in the streets" is not just paying for info with no return. Its also paying for affiliations (Gway, driftwood, pelham park, etc.). Kendrick talking like he be walking around Toronto himself.

I KNOW YAL KNOW, BUT DRAKE DROPPED, THEN KENDRICK DROPPED RIGHT AFTER!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT FOR YAL!!! THIS IS SUCH A GREAT TIME!!!

Drake's uncle played bass on this Al Green song. The Art of War😅🤣😂🤣😅😂

Kendrick just showed he has had the upper hand this entire time

"This is bigger than you". OMG how prophetic were you? You could feel it and many of us could. You did a phenomenal job on a song that confused a lot of reactors.

In retrospect, this is so clearly a warning from Kendrick. He starts off wrestling with if he's willing to sacrifice his peace to body Drake. Then warns Drake that he has leaks in his camp and he should take a step back and reevaluate his life and situation. And then in Kendrick's next two drops, he shows he clearly was prepared for whatever Drake put out. I truly believe if Drake had listened to this warning and not put out "Family Ties", we would have never heard "Meet the Grahams" or "Not Like Us".

Theres a real sinister undertone to this track and i cant place my finger on exactly why lol.

Kendrick sonning Drake with the "let me tell you some game cus I can see you're my lil homie" is wild!

HURRY UP GENTLEMEN!!!

Guys I need y'all to confirm me one thing, the cover of this is a black leather glove, Toosie Slide starts saying "black leather gloves no sequins", and in this song Kendrick references Toosie Slide and Drake having snakes in his camp, IS THAT BLACK GLOVE THE GLOVE FROM TOOSIE SLIDE VID? Cuz if it is that's the biggest punchline of the song and it's silent

Circadian rhythm is the physical, mental, and behavioral changes an organism experiences over a 24-hour cycle. K Dot refers to his is of a shooting star. That’s divine, the timeline. Not the man made 24hr cycle. He’s on his on timeline, you can’t rush his process to drop music when you want him.. 🔥

Bro, Kendrick drop another, RIP Drake

Honestly, looking back these vids were the highlight of the Beef for me. "He Dropped?!? Kendrick Dropped?!?!" Enjoyed them so much you got me to sign up to the Patreon. Appreciate your service 🫡

They're all shots, this one is layered. He's confessing to God before he kills this man.

Came to change the flowers on Drake's grave

Really glad you picked up on how this song was basically like an extended version of the intro of Euphoria.

Throwing up the bat signal we need you two back asap

And Mike Jacks “You Are Not Alone” was written by… R. Kelly. Layers.

Kendrick making vibevilla active and posting on time🤣 I love it

There's opportunities when living in loss/ i discover myself when i fall short" So much to that one line it's crazy 🤯

"Sunseeker....😂😂😂😂"

Kendrick Lamar getting a grammy off this 🔥🔥🔥🔥 so classical and technical

The title and cover is so elite. 6:16. 6/16 is Pac's birthday. 6/16 was when Euphoria first premiered. 6/16 is Father's Day. 6/16 was Nicole Simpson's burial (hence the glove). And 6:16 in LA is a reference to all of Drake's "timestamp" songs (8AM in Charlotte, 5AM in Toronto, etc.)

drake is done yall!!! 💀💀💀

This diss was on another level for me. He is not only dissing him directly, he is also helping him. He is telling Drake where he sees that he's doing wrong, acting dishonest, and falling off of morals.

Bruh I'm in Hawaii vacation and waited since 4 am sumthin for yall to review. DOT is literally murdering and psychologically deconstructing this dude. And he's warming up everytime. He just rapping lightly until the next bomb he drops.

the title is a quintuple entendre

I’m so happy I found this channel. Like frfr best hip-hop review channel I’ve found, you’re finding things on your first listen that most people didn’t even get on their second and third. Great job!

I always love when VibeVilla drops. Been waiting on this.

Kendrick is just proving why he’s the best rapper in the game, the disses are so layered as expected whereas Drakes are more full of humour and he’s saying things that he wants to go viral. Both of them have sounded like they have dirt on each other, interesting how Drake tried getting ahead of it while Kendrick is saying “try your best you couldn’t even get no info on me by paying”

Also, if you notice the glove which i think is a Drake's glove, you can see a paper that's cropped out next to the glove. All jokes aside, there is def someone in OVO leaking info. That cropped paper means something. That glove means something.

Aye y’all gotta wake up Drake dropped and Kendrick dropped and hour after. I need 2 reaction videos bruh.

Yaaaas, I’ve been waiting on your reaction
