From Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake to J. Cole, Rick Ross and more, it is time to rank all of the diss tracks from hip hop's greatest and see what songs are the best and what are the worst...
facts. 6:16 wasn't necessarily intended to be its own diss track. alone, imo it's worse than family matters/pushups. It's the fact that he says he has inside people working at OVO and proves that by zooming out the 6:16 cover in meet the grahams which is a bunch of items referenced in drake's diss. Plus meet grahams dropped 30 mins after family matters perfectly responding to it then being one of the greatest disses of all time is what makes 6:16 so great. 6:16 just went to show how well kendrick had everything planned out.
@@anonymousinkproductions8624 thats just how kendrick writes, drake was so caught up with his ego he forgot to study his opponent. Thats rule number one of war
The beat on 6:16 might have actually revealed Kendrick's source. The original sample is "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is," but the way it's chopped sounds suspiciously like "Boi-1da."
The more time that goes on, and the more you listen to the heart part six the more you realize that it actually hurt him more than it helped drake . Lyricism and authenticity finally won . #kingkendrick
Champagne moments underrated, it’s a fire song and as a diss he “pierced” drakes “armor” with the whole white boy narrative which Kendrick elaborated on. Also he started the BBL drizzy movement (yes I know Joe budden called Drake out about his abs before, he never called him BBL drizzy)
Meet the Graham's was crazy as hell. Especially since it came out at night and you can hear the screams in the background of the instrumental. Man i was feeling like I just watched a documentary about a serial killer in my neighborhood right as i was about to go to sleep. If you didnt hear it til the next day it's hard to explain the feeling that track gave most of us in that moment.
Euphoria is one of the best diss tracks of this generation in my opinion because Kendrick Lamar destroyed Drake inside and out and The Heart Part 6 was weak af from Drake. I'm a J Cole fan but Kendrick has won this beef IMO
Push Ups: Drake: Metro, you produce music. Kendrick, you're short. Metro: aight, bet, I'll show you what drums can do. Kendrick: Nobody else needs to respond.
Meet the Grahams is objectively the best but not one I can really see myself going back to because it’s a horror show 😭. Much prefer Euphoria and Not like us in that respect. Haven’t heard Kendrick truly do a West Coast record since paramedic off the Black Panther soundtrack wit SOB X RBE and I wish he would do more. Family Matters was a great track too and my fav one from Drake in this beef but it got outshined by a genius chess move from Kendrick.
I’ve been team Kendrick forever but family matters was a huge swing that just got deflated 30 minutes later. Still top 5 in the tracks through the beef.
Facts, and there's actually tea about Kendrick, his relationship with Whitney is strange, and there was blogs about K dot beating a woman in Vegas. I think kendrick really killed him with an overload of good music at once. His tracks were all different too K dots.
@@AlbertPuljosanyway he was gonna hit dot dot had already hit himself in mr morale, and that album cover itself tells you all you need to know about his relationship with his wife
Future invited Kanye to make the remix. He didn't jump in, he was invited. Drake has sent subliminals to him and everyone else involved for years. I feel like Drake might be the actual obsessed party. Also you left out some songs from WDTY & WSDTY like ASAP Rocky's Show of Hands. EDIT: BBL Drizzy should've at least been an honorable mention. Having that contest was a creative way to diss someone as a producer.
@@orlando2814I noticed that too, j-Cole’s diss went hard and he put it at the bottom along with everyone else that dissed Kendrick. He’s doin flips on it fs
You got a new channel follower. The moment you said Ross speaking in the outro rather than RAPPING it during his verses held his track back. I’m from Miami. Born n raised. Overtown to Carol City. Ross snapped but that extra dialogue of talking hurt that final product just like it did on Drake’s diss tracks as well. Rappers have to be able to say it all on wax during the verses. It’s what gives Kendrick that extra nod. No social media gimmicks. No talking all over the track. Says everything he breeds to say in his verses.
As a real Kendrick fan even I can say this list is super biased if you’ve got Family Matters at 7. It is at least #2. The way Dot just stepped all over it nuts
Meet the Grahams should be adapted into a short film, where a mysterious stranger enters a family’s home and explains calmly to each member why he has to kill one of them.
The fact that Kendrick gives material to be studied even in back to back diss tracks shows how he's the goat. (and the fact that no one sees/talks about it pains me)
7 minute drill and bury alive need to switch. I’m far from a Drake fan but neither Family Matters or Push Ups not making top 4 is wild 😭 “Not Like Us” is my clear #1
euphoria Meet the Grahams 6:16 in LA Like That Not Like Us Family Matters Push Ups Champagne Moments Taylor Made Like That Remix 7 Minute Drill The Heart Part 6
I know I have the benefit of commenting a week after this dropped but "Not Like Us" breaking records that Drake set feels like it may end up neing the more significant track. "Meet The Grahams" was a clinical dissection, but I think "Not Like Us" will be the lasting legacu of this feud because it was a cremation and funeral all in one. It really put this feud to rest.
The only song I can think of that even comes close to Meet the Grahams is Eminem's Kim, a song where he fantasizes about how he would murder his then-wife.
I honestly think Euphoria was the overall best song. Meet the Grahams does lose points because “Drake fake fed info” but even if you take away the daughter verse the song is bone chilling
if you really do the research on the 11 year old daughter part, Drake would've been way smarter to say Kendrick had got that from some articles published 9 years, if he were really smart he would throw more shade and act like the were tabloid articles, like one of the articles youd find in line at the grocery store.. tho drake has probably never been to a grocery store, always has the help doin that for him... but there were articles 9 years ago, you can still find them online, from what ive found theres around 5 articles from no significant publications. in the articles they say Drake may have a 2 year old daughter with a haitian american bottle girl from a club in Miami, he was reportedly paying her $15,500 a month in child support while they were waiting on paternity results. i wouldnt be surprised if the paternity results came back positive, then drake had the label pull out the big time lawyers to put NDA's in place, give the girl and kid and large payment and child support in exchange for her keeping quiet about the kid. same thing probably wouldve happened with adonis, if pusha hadnt exposed it in time..
I kept seeing how Kendrick won all over my feed and felt like my searches and suggestions on content were biased. So I searched up “how drake won” to see if anyone believed or could convince that he did. This video and many more like it only popped up more than what i searched for. Safe to say Kendrick DEFINITELY took this one😂
Bro sorry but as a DISS song, Like That isn't THAT crazy, I wouldn't even call it a diss song, It just has that Kendrick verse which is fairly short and only has like 4 bars that are direct disses, Def seems like your letting your Kendrick bias take over just a bit cause Like That being over Family Matters & Push Ups just seems a little ridiculous lol, IMO it isn't anywhere near the level of those tracks diss wise & Def isn't on the level of Euphoria, Meet The Grahams & Not Like Is.
As prescient and brilliant as your anticipations were before Kendrick responded to Push ups ...you got this list wrong! Ye's, Cole's, and Rick Ross's were all good, but flawed in various ways and can be ordered however. But it goes Like That(Sparked everything off but it was a throwaway, by Kendrick's own words). Push ups( showed Drake's skill and ability to address multiple threats at once but was pretty surface level) Taylor made and Euphoria are basically tied. I'm a lyrics guy, so definitely personally loved the Euphoria verse more, but in terms of strategy, public perception, and levels of disrespect? TaylorMade is right there with Euphoria. Its one of those tracks that, while not nearly as lyrically dense or meaningful as Euphoria...it was a perfect Drake song, appealing to his target audience, playing mind games with Kendrick and trying to place him in an uncomfortable position. Then it goes 6:16 in LA(my personal favorite and sonically gorgeous, but not nearly as popular or obvious to most folks and seemed less of a diss than a warning.) Then it's Family Matters(because Drake was absolutely spitting in this track, sonically the music was incredible and there were also a deeply hurtful accusations, true or not.) Not like us comes next, as it really is the epitome of Kendrick dancing on Drake's grave and also showcasing that not only could he dismantle him lyrically, stylistically but also could create a banger better than he could. And of course Meet the Graham's is number one. Although sonically not the most appealing, it's legit haunting and disturbing, was strategically unprecedented and brilliantly dropped, both in the timing and the cover art...and true or not, valid or not, I've never seen a man get stabbed psychologically and reputationally through a track like this 😂. Oh and the heart part 6 doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
Ngl Family Matters gets better and better with every listen, outta this whole rap battle, family matters is the best right before not like us. Especially the last part of the song. It just unfortunate got drowned out by Kendrick quick response 💯
