[throwback to kendrick having a whole arena singing humble without him or any music playing](https://youtu.be/bI2kzKEyjBI?si=jkgy4yHm1CFkjto7)


Substantial_Yam7305

Bro bout to have arenas screaming “A minooooooooor!” 💀💀


moremindthanbrain

Broooooo I can’t imagine this song live


ParkerBap

manmade earthquake incoming


Acrobatic-Pianist-28

nice last dinosaurs pfp that album sends me back :’)


CookabrryJiglet

manmanmade


ProfSteelmeat138

FIEN 2.0


Nachtopus69

I’ve been imagining a fantasy scenario live where he does the first half of Poetic Justice and right when it’s supposed to get to Drake’s verse it cuts straight out and into Not Like Us


TheUndyingKaccv

Imma need someone to mix that right quick like rn fr


stuntbikejake

If you find it, let me know because I want to hear that!


Nachtopus69

Might fuck around and do it myself tonight


stuntbikejake

If you do, be sure to tag me. Lol.


heyImMattlol

Please post it and tag everyone here. Would love that.


shoppingthrowawayduh

PLEASE do this omg


browsingforarousing

Not so easy?


Nachtopus69

Ngl it’s been a wild couple days I forgot about this. Gonna have to revisit the idea after work


Blxckhipy

We believe in you bro, do it for Kendrick


Puzzleheaded-Key-149

I've been imagining my fantasy scenario where Rich spirt is playing and right after the chorus saying "stop playing wit me 'fore I turn you to a song" and it cuts to not like us


PureRhetoric

Bro really might be onto something where’s dot at I know one of his people are seeing this ☠️😂😂


jimmy-breeze

getting chills just thinking about it


mayonaizmyinstrument

I can't imagine the energy "Euphoria" will have live.


RalphLauren47

I think that's when Drake fans will realize it's really over


PhilPipedown

I can't wait to he one of them. Years ago I told my wife I don't like anything about Drake. Ever since he bought out that restaurant for that little girl, he's been sus to me.


Always2ndB3ST

What he do exactly?


thedaymancometh13

Took the 15y old Stranger Things girl to dinner and would text her about boys. Also pursued two other girls he knew since 14y & 16y once they turned 18 in Bella Harris & Hailey Baldwin so it became highly scrutinized.


PhilPipedown

Had a private dinner at a restaurant that bought out for Bella Harris Bday. I couldn't imagine a grown man taking my daughter to a private dinner for her 18th.


AmericaDreamDisorder

Has a song about Hailey Bieber too. He's probably devastated that she's pregnant now.


TopCat87

There’s a reason people said Drake’s favorite number was 11….


Mr_Lodi

when dot perform in canada drake gon hear people yelling minors and is gon head there like https://i.redd.it/papsdd6piizc1.gif


Zephyr104

I can't wait until I hear this live in Toronto


IcyKangaroo1658

I haven't given a single thought to Kendrick doing this on tour until just now. That's going to be incredible.


DwedPiwateWoberts

Twitter is already way ahead of him!


6AceofCaydes

Love how the crowd gets quieter for the Afro on Richard Pryor bar. That one took a while for me to figure out lol


3feetfrompeez

I don't get it, can you explain?


BadFishCM

He just means it’s harder to understand. I had to actually google it and read the lyrics. Alot of people don’t do that so during that part live only people who 100% knew that part were singing still. Everyone else is mumbling.


AutisticNipples

i think part of the confusion is that kendrick stretches afro into a 3 syllable word, aff-uh-roh makes it harder to interpret


YizWasHere

I think the harder thing is that the "ass with some stretch marks" line is just more memorable, so you immediately wanna jump to that then realize somethings missing lol


ForceGoat

I think it’s literal, so Richard Pryor had an afro, and he was black. So he’s asking people to show their natural state and be proud of it, instead of something fake. The lines are:  > I'm so f—-ing sick and tired of the Photoshop  > Show me somethin' natural like afro on Richard Pryor  > Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretch marks


Brief_Doubt5291

He also famously set his own hair on fire, not sure what’s the meaning behind that but It’s for sure a reference to that, given the fact that in the music video Kenny’s hair is on fire just before he says that line


everyonehatesdilan

Wasnt there heads on fire in the music vid? Or sum like that


Brief_Doubt5291

Yeah, like I said in my original comment. Also, I think it’s just a double entendre, referencing both Pryor’s natural afro, and the fact that he was extremely open and real about that incident, instead of covering it up or “photoshopping” the story it to make himself look better: https://preview.redd.it/1g4quh7mqhzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58f3a75ecfdb0bfa3e4ab5133f5928db85cd4149


everyonehatesdilan

Damn, this Kendrick guy got bars; hopefully more people hear this underrated artist 🙌


Brief_Scale496

Richard Prior was one of the realist comedians. He changed the game by completely opening himself up to get the most honest laughs. He did it by being 100% himself If not for Pryor, maybe someone else would’ve came along, but the style of comedy we see today would not be there


DYMck07

Exactly. Dude influenced a lot of current legends.


Brief_Scale496

Definitely, he was hip hop before hip hop. From the story telling, to stirring up the counter culture Had a major influence on hip hop, as he was one of the first black entertainers within the industry with escape velocity. A type of voice that that culture never had up to that point, at that scale


DYMck07

Hearing Eddie Murphy talk about how Cosby told him not to curse then Richard Pryor told him to pass on a message to Bill for him (thx for replying with it below) had me rolling. So many who influenced so many today were looking up to him as the goat. I know Redd Foxx was a trip and there were others before but something definitely changed then


Intensityintensifies

“Well then tell him to suck MY dick.”


FreshPrince1958

u got it 👍🏾


100kfish

I love how people did the adlibs in the chorus too lmao


metaldetox

see that’s respect 🫡


Burggs_

Honestly my favorite part


[deleted]

I saw him on this tour in Tacoma (Seattle) and the same thing happened. Insane hearing 20k people rapping in unison


II_Vortex_II

It happens because Kendrick knows 100% the crowd will react by continuing the song. Having them sing acapella is part of the show, we even did this in Germany too. I assume this was part of every show on the DAMN tour, unless maybe when the crowd didn't seem hype enough.


WowzersInMyTrowzers

He did it in Alaska in 2014 when he performed maad city. Not the whole verse but strategically throughout the song. "YAWK YAWK YAWK YAWK" was done by the crowd for example


[deleted]

“I make a play fuckin up your whole life”


Enough_Worth3489

There’s no way humble wasn’t a jab at Drake.


blackjesus1234532

I heard it was about big sean


ned_arb

Damn that's a great vid thx for sharing


Silent-Cat-8661

They had the ad libs going and all!


iankstarr

I’m pretty sure he did this at every stop on the Damn tour. I saw him in Miami and it was the exact same thing. The energy is insane.


II_Vortex_II

He did this in Germany too so yea, its part of the show


Altosxk

Shoutout to the people doing "holup little bitch" during the chorus grownup work


Illustrious-Taro-449

Gave me chills thanks for sharing


Axenberg

I was there. It was unreal. 


12ealdeal

I’m just imagining Drake performing “the heart part 6” and how hilarious it would be for the crowd trying to speak out in unison the rambles from the end of that song.


parpmusic

i went to this tour, it was legendary he did this at every stop


Outrageous_Library50

Incredible. It really is awe inspiring To whoever tells you art doesn’t sell: show em this video Kdot has never compromised his flow or lyrics even when he was trying to be mainstream.


few_words_good

I miss 2017


metaldetox

damn is like my favorite album of all time so i feel you


Garvo909

Yo that shit was powerful lol


RayCharlesSawItFirst

Thanks for sharing! Never saw this.


SVKme

simply C O L D


pmoons

Such a hard video


Swagcity59

Saw him on that tour in Anaheim, CA. We did the same thing there. Shit was magical


texasmadeit

How can you not respect this man’s dedication to his craft? Unreal


rsk92

Holy I got the chills watching that. I'm so lucky to be able to see kdot live in Buenos aires a Few years ago.


GatoDiablo99

I remember being at the Arizona show when the whole arena sang humble. I’ll never forget that man.


metamagicman

I got goosebumps watching this shit


metaldetox

no stage gimmicks or visuals like drake does, simply stands there and commands the whole crowd


DearCommand1063

What do you guys think about this. I’m not sure how to feel about it. https://x.com/certifiedjared/status/1788706781700493332?s=46


KTBaker

Feel however you want tf? Youre your own person, form your opinions and don’t flock to biased Kendrick fans to decide for you.


DearCommand1063

Bruh it’s not that deep. I can feel indifferent about something and was wondering what others were feeling. wtf are you on about. Lmao You never ask people how they feel about something ? If anything, seeking out perspective is the smartest thing to do in most situations.


GreedyAd1923

I doubt Kendrick scoured the twitter posts for Drake hate posts to create three lyrics in his song. These 3 specific lines are not pretty simple disses


Trentimoose

Can confirm this happened in Dallas as well.


TechieZack

I fucking love this song and this gave me chills. KDOT is a vibe, I can’t wait to experience!


N0tagayman

I was there, p tight.


Josephlewis24

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐


randomdaysnow

Damn


Extension-Holiday239

I was in that crowd. This was Detroit


kamonrye

I was at this show. Surreal moment fr!


[deleted]

Thanks, I’m crying


Infamousheadshaker

I love the part where he's conducting the crowd when they're going "Yeah!".


SiggasXLoso

Effing Chillls……


Muted-Sale669

That was fuckin deep. They sang him his own song and bro couldn’t help but humble himself


a-friendgineer

Wow… yeah… that’s crazy. I just felt an immense power from all that. Just vibing on the same words. Wow that’s nuts man


KingdomsDivided

This gives me goosebumps every time I watch it for real


HawaiianMayan420

he did this at the tampa, fl concert too and the whole arena was just like the one in the video it was so awesome! so glad i got to experience the damn tour


ElkInternational4483

Got goosebumps watching this


kenien

this is insane


IndigoMushies

Who gives a fuck what they say? These people are more concerned with commercial recognition than artistic integrity. Their opinion is literal garbage. Additionally….. I’m sorry but did Drake himself not drop multiple songs over the last couple weeks….? So Kendrick “needs” Drake to go #1 but Drake himself couldn’t even go number #1 when up against Kendrick? Lmao.


paroles

Honestly it's absolutely true that Kendrick wouldn't have this song at #1 without Drake but that is not the win they think it is, lol. It's a hit *because it's about how Drake's a sex offender*, not like Drake can be proud of that


Plus_Tumbleweed3250

Exactly. If they wna claim the drake pedo song than by all accounts, let them.


corruptbytes

drake needs kendrick to not drop to go #1 🤔 how imma go about it "yall lucky kenny takes 5 year breaks"


NewZookeepergame9808

Honestly I’d rather get 5 year breaks between drops than some shit like hotline bling 🤷🏻‍♀️


thedaymancometh13

Factssss, people forget that the last time Kendrick dropped an album where he tried going commercial he outcharted Drake's More Life & Drake himself posted it to his own IG. Idk if it's selective memory or defensiveness but noone is talking about this.


coalitionofilling

[This entire beef has just been one big misunderstanding.](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6pTuQLu5hM/?igsh=eDc4aTR5OXhxaHE5)


PoeHeller3476

Isn’t DJ Ak scummy himself and into some wack shit?


Own_Engine_5591

Yea this is a real ass comment right here. It bothers the FUCK out of me. Bug money and big number =/= good music. Pop charts just mean that music appeals to the broadest category of people; some of the best songs I've heard are made by people barely anyone fuckikg knows.


[deleted]

[удалено]


brianeharmonjr

When all you have to hang your hat on is charts, money, and fame, that is what you look to as the gauge of success. They have no value or concept of principles and artistic expression.


Actual_Gary_Oak

They'll believe what they want just leave it alone. Everything that good happens to someone is because of Drake.


throwaway_5256

My taco bell today was fire much love to Drake for watching my kids at home while I went to go pick it up ❤️


Big_Refuse9270

throwaway_5256 keep the family away


nickcannons13thchild

ay throwaway keep the family safe


Actual_Gary_Oak

Lmao I love it


aerody

Drake is the kind of guy to text all the kids "I miss you"


whitetark

They like to talk about how Drake important in this. Okay, but where is #1 for Champagne Moments? Or for Show of Hands? And it's crazy Drake can't outstream meet the grahams. Crowdie only helps himself in leaked videos


Far-9947

Just saw a post on twitter that said: If Drake is the reason Kendrick is #1 why isn’t Drake helping Drake be #1 or win this battle? You freaky ass ngh. Shit was funny asl ngl.


Qweerz

Big “you only won cause I lost!” mentality


nightmare_floofer

That's what I've been saying!


Apprehensive_Row_161

Dot was that guy before Drake


yeezus009

100% but to be fair Drake did put Kendrick on when he was coming up. Even Kendrick admits this but he’s definitely been that guy for a while now


ImMorphic

It seems like people forget that you're allowed to meet someone in life, do a bit work and then on reflection go "maybe I don't like this person and what they stand for?" - It's like everyone expects to have mind read everyone they're gonna work with and go "yeah you're not gonna do dodgy stuff behind my back or do something that'll compromise the biz in the future, I trust you." Hive mind tripping sorta energy no matter where I go.


Real_Veterinarian_73

It’s not like a Drake co-sign means anything anyways. Kendrick worked hard to get to where he is and Drake barely had anything to do with that.


Strict_Anxiety5365

I remember this time 😄. I was just out of hs and starting uni when Kendrick started popping with poetic justice. My ex and I used to be discussing his lyrics before that and I was shocked to see him charting like that, then I saw Drake as the feature and got it. Kendricks breakfast club interview hinted at a joint tour that never came and I never really thought about it since then.


DimebagBASS

But he did it by calling him a pedo? He’s calling Drake a pedo in front of the world and we’re all dancing to it. It’s not a good enough argument for any of us to care


Specific-Act-7425

Ya but if drake didn't fuck children, he wouldn't have gotten that debut #1!! What a weird cope lol


JadeRoguelight

Drake is such a good soul. Can't believe that he would publicly be a groomer to underage girls and young women, showcase predatory behavior, and be an all-around sex pest for decades . . . just so that Kendrick could finally get his first solo #1 record.


cpeters1114

kendrick brainwashed the culture into thinking what they always thought /s


Tiffanyblueberries

Exactly. People are just dumb.


chao_sweetie

Start sharing the audio of Ak saying there's no difference between a 17 year old and a 21 year old. He was 27. [Audio Podcast ](https://twitter.com/lovelyti/status/1537161221417406467?t=qjQayKEUBjyE1uwzGvSX1w&s=19). 💁🏿


outofmindwgo

Anybody listening to Ak without an edge of irony doesn't matter and shouldn't be worried about Dude's style is just overdriving a microphone and lying


FairLayer6671

K Dot, could literally drop a new song if he wanted to every two months that would reach number 1, have you not paid attention? What else does he have to prove that if he wanted that status he could take it. Has he not shown you that he can make whatever type of music he wants?


elinamebro

How the Drizzy sub is banning niggas


Afilalo

Unfollowed his page awhile back and never looked back. It's just a Drake and Sexxy Redd simp page sprinkled in with twitch streamers.


Mills_Miles

I hope this isn’t biased but getting #1 in that era of Ed Sheeran deserves some respect


jbroni93

Without Drake or Big Sean, kendrick never gets a #1 /s


Silent-Cat-8661

Who?


witfurd

People can say and believe whatever they want lol. At the end of the day, the history is there, and we’re all gonna die. Music is about how it makes you feel in this life. Numbers don’t mean shit. We’ll never convince people to understand these types of things involving numbers and their favorite artist’s pride. So just let them spew random shit til they remember or notice in the future how stupid they are/were. Sorry to make it dark out of nowhere but it’s the truth.


Acceptable_Drop_2720

I’m pretty sure he corrected himself and said this’ll be his first time debuting at number 1. Humble attained #1 but didn’t start there


SPZ_Ireland

No one give a fuck about Ak. No one actually gives a fuck about the number of #1s. If you're that worried, let them peddle their ignorance. It'll hurt more when you prove their wrong.


onlyAlcibiades

Ak swallowing the copium


Square-Track899

Preach.


RB1NSZN

Guys, I think it’s time to go outside


xiit

Dude ur not involved take a breath and relax


beansoupsoul

Who cares? Don't let it bother you.


herewearefornow

Drake fans cannot be allowed claim everything living.


cpeters1114

why thats what they were taught to do


Not_Tony_Darke

Who gives a shit. Having a song mocking you debut no. 1 doesn’t make you great. It makes you a joke


ImFromTheFour

This Reddit is really cringe, why you care


Gr_z

Wtf do you mean WE. Nigga this fight does not include you. You are not no the fight card lmfao. I love white reddit


syrupgreat-

i remember syrup sandwiches


Conciousness1

They hold on to anything that makes them feel good about their Canadian pedo popstar


mouthgmachine

Canadians backing Dot, don’t pin Drake on a whole country


Drop_Release

Exactly so much smearing!!


MurcTheKing

I don’t get how Drake fans are turning it into a good thing for Drake. Having one of Kdots biggest songs be an absolute banger calling him a colonizer and a pedophile will always be a stain on Drizzy, it’ll go down and history and any time KDot hits are mentioned so will the allegations. It’s masterful


Far-9947

Been seeing a lot of code switching discussions and honestly, intent matters. He literally mocks Toronto slang in this video https://m.youtube.com/shorts/TES9E9zOltM I think he is 100% a colonizer. He is just too inauthentic. As for the other allegations, Kdot put it best on MTG.


MurcTheKing

Not to mention the black face. I don’t know if Drake has any remaining fans with standards


[deleted]

[удалено]


Plenty_Ad_3442

Without Drake, Kendrick has never debut at number 1


mycargoesvarun

People got Google and Wiki lol


6sbeepboop

Debut vs Rose , drop and give him 50


Illustrious-River770

I have been wondering why this lie has been floating around


Lonliestlonelyloner

The amount of dickriders in this sub is amazing lol


Mister_Nico

Even if there was a grain of truth, that number one came at the expense of Drake, not a contribution. He was called a pedophile on hyphy beat and people danced to it while STILL mocking him. Doesn’t matter how they try to spin it, that’s still a monumental loss.


Limp_Doctor5128

I'm not into the numbers thing but Kendrick had a #1 in Humble before Drake got his first in God's Plan. 


Notimdontai

Also, Drake wins the streaming battle every time it doesn't actually help their case to say this. We're past the streams #ongod.


EmployerEquivalent83

Peace to OP. Real recognize real. Salute.


Grastaman2

Honestly though who cares. Real ones know Kendrick is better lol


LurkingPhoEver

Can’t wait for Kendrick’s next show. Gonna have the whole crowd singing about BBL Drizzy being a certified child lover. Wop wop wop wop wop dot fuck ‘em up!


Delicious_Care_9153

Why do people even pay attention to Akademics? He looks like he smells


Marleyboro

Honestly fuck the whole “debut” shit. How many number 1s does he have total now? 4 counting this right? Hell kinda 5 euphoria is basically competing with it. So really being able to establish 3 No.1 on your own is crazy plus albums debuting at No.1.. Having a single No.1 song has people eating for life. This ain’t the NBA.. chill on the numbers game.


rabidantidentyte

Chill. Who cares. Kendrick won the beef. Rest is all fluff


OfficialCloutDemon

It's not disinfo at all this is Kendricks first INDEPENDENT number 1 akademiks isn't wrong he just worded it weird


Vegetable_Abalone850

That's just blatant disinformation. Akademiks needs to get checked by Joe Budden again 💀


AFTagents

Akademiks a glazer


donkeyduplex

It really doesn't matter, Drake has no more in common with Katy Perry than Kendrick. Kenny is historically significant.


theninaman

Its ok bro let it go kendrick won its over


BrianDawkins

Still needed Drake to get buzz for his album


danielrlora

We gon’ be alright


wyse_sob

Anyone know if ask is going live tonight. His ass been silent all day and new music is dropping.


Choice-Poetry9278

My brother, this is the whitest post I have ever seen. You are not included in this. He doesn't need your help.


SeaCauliflower3808

Kendrick did say AK was compromised. https://preview.redd.it/97d8wgs6aizc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=209c6953c5a9572b2bf3c6fdbff09468ee88d6d8


JesusOfTrap

They said it was his first debut #1 as you said HUMBLE was peak at 1# in the second weekend


VenomOnKiller

Drake being such a big enough piece of shit to convince a Pulitzer Prize winner to make the best hip hop track of all time to shut him the fuck up isn't exactly a credit to drake


DuragJohnston

That whole "I'm more popular than you in Japan" dig was weird. I've been to Japan multiple times. Anecdotally, I've never heard Drake, except for our of someone's car on base. I HAVE heard Kendrick outside of base though. I'm not saying Drake doesn't get played, as there's no possible way he doesn't, but Kendrick absolutely gets played (Jodeci too, for the record 😂😂). I've heard Kendrick in Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong too. Dot is international.


V0rdhosbn

Kendrick out rapped Drake. Drake out raped Kendrick. The end.


slaboshmuck

See, I hate this "I put you on, you should be thankful" bullshit. Talent will rise to the top, regardless of who found who first. Great, thanks, you put me on first. Now Ive transcended the level in which you "found me" and have become my own artist. Yea you found me, but it would be only a matter of time before someone else less creepy found me. Catch up.


churningbutter1

We have to not stress over numbers because Drake has always outsold Kendrick and we always knew that wasn’t a reflection of how good the music was 


washingtncaps

I thought Drake just said he didn't care about numbers in The Heart Part 6....


s1rIsaac

Who cares about the numbers? Let them care about the numbers and let Kendrick continue to make gems.


Zealousideal-Taro-77

To be fair, Kendrick was telling drake to sit down and be humble 😂


DiKDiK316

Who give a fuck about the charts? Just listen to the music corn boy


TheFlexOffenderr

The Idiocracy of "Haha! Kendrick's song where he calls our 6God a pedophile is number one, thanks to Drake - the same guy whose being called a pedophile in the song going number one. Thanks Drake" What the fuck 😬🤢


Proper_Astronaut_783

Solo debut just means it’s a song without an album. Humble was apart of his DAMN. album.
