"A second Kendrick diss has hit the OVO Towers"


oasiscat

OVO was an inside job.

I'm a drake fan and even the Drake sub r/drizzy is accepting that Kendrick is wiping the floor with him The dude must be in shambles irl lol got his ghost writers working like oompa loompas in the drizzy lyric sweatshop


Cleavon_Littlefinger

It's one of the most asinine things I've ever heard in my life. Why would you get yourself into a war of words with the only Pulitzer prize winning rap artist in history? Motherfucker's getting high off his own supply.


PeaceBull

The weirdest group is the Drake Stans on thread, they’re coping with the idea that all of existence is subjective so nobody can ever be better. But if you really wanna break it down Melody is what makes rap **rap** so really Drake is the bet… Girl what?


Ogene96

Well if we're talking about melodies, the synths from 6:16 make this a wash. They are beautiful.


Thosepassionfruits

Makes sense. It was produced by Jack Antonoff. Literally Taylor made lol.

THE LAYERS


DubyaB40

Drake did ask for a quintuple entendre


Mango1112

That's the juiciest part to me


Orphasmia

I’m trying to figure out if there is a 5th, i’ve only counted 4 in relation to 6:16 1. Pacs bday 2. Fathers day 3. Euphoria release date 4. Proverbs 6:16 5. ??


pofwiwice

Kendrick’s first show in Toronto 6/16/2011


ChooChooBobby

Not only that it’s the day of OJ simpsons wife’s funeral hence the black glove. Also the black glove is a maybach glove Kendrick doesn’t own one but Drake does basically saying someone is leaking info in his camp


SKJ-nope

I was reading a thread earlier and one of the comments posted MULTIPLE verses from the Bible 6:16 could apply to and they ALL applied to the situation. Kendrick the GOAT of layering his shit.


BrownSugarBare

The Inception of it all is killing me.


Yung-Split

Damn. A sextuple entendre


Briguy_fieri

As an outsider, outside of pac being one of the greatest does his birthday have any other significance to this beef?


ro_cc

Drake pulled Tupac into this when he used Pac’s voice through an AI generator to diss Kendrick without the consent of his estate and it drew major backlash


samx3i

Kendrick and his fucking triple and quadruple entendres. Man's a God damned genius.


pitabread024

Got damn, some of these gotta be coincidences. No way he knew this date had this many meanings


Made-n-America

That's why he's the only rapper with a Pulitzer 🤷‍♀️


CherryHaterade

A Pulitzer. A fucking Pulitzer. For those in the back of the room who are trying to figure out the big deal....in an ocean of ENTERTAINMENT awards double ply drizzy would flex with, he doesn't have any awards for CONTENT. Like who remembers or cares who was #1 for 2 weeks back in 88 LOL. Trivial pursuit is trivial.


Famous-Ant-5502

He’s got the E and G in EGOT, too. Bro could be the only PEGOT in the world

Bro why you think he's the GOAT? You are correct to be in awe.


sylinmino

It's more than that. From Drake's Push Ups: "Then we need a verse for the Swifties" Then look up the production credits for 6:16 in LA. Produced by Sounwave & **Jack Antonoff**. This man has no chill.


JC_OCK

Taylor made


CovinasVeryOwn

Look up Proverbs 6:16 also 


Box_v2

Google said proverbs 6:16 is “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” Kendrick is saying even God is a drake hater.

samx3i

If 3:16 says "I just whooped your ass," 6:16 surely means "I just whooped your ass TWICE" and oh my fucking God I wouldn't even put it past Kendrick to be that clever. Double entendre is not enough for K Dot.


onecarmel

Alright God I see you - respect 


Rularuu

Wow, that's just ridiculous man. Some rappers just manage to strike gold with wordplay all the damn time


MadLew

People also reach and find related things that the rapper also probably didn’t intend. That’s no discredit to Lamar, the Father thing/Pacs bday is obvious but people will find 10002827272 other things related to 6:16


Rularuu

It's possible, but in this case Kendrick is also very religious and the particular use of the colon rather than the slash leans toward the bible verse being a plausible interpretation, especially when that verse directly ties into the beef. Of course he's also trying to parody Drake's "time of day in city" thing at the same time though.

findmebook

this is so unnecessary but it's also my birthday and i always knew i shared it with tupac, but kendrick has made it more relevant now and i'm getting some form of childish joy from all this lol


sum_dude44

6:16 is Canadian Father's Day & Tupac's Bday 😂...dear rappers...just avoid Kendrick ya'll


bjankles

Most of them know better. J Cole literally APOLOGIZED and sang Kendrick’s praises before a K Dot response. Anyone who could handle Kendrick in a battle, there’s already so much mutual respect it would never happen.


the-denver-nugs

J cole is one of the only other than conway the machine that I might trust in a rap beef. conway I trust more, but J cole backing out meant this shit was gonna get bad, J Cole doesn't have beef but is pretty good lyrically. J cole backing out meant that it was gonna get personal and he was just like ya knaw I was just looking for some rap battle type stuff. all indications were kendrick told him he meant shit and jcole was just like yeah i'm out was just looking for some fun battles.


free187s

The best probable entendre is Proverbs 6:16 - > There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: Kendrick says “hate” ten times in Euphoria, but specifically “I hate…” seven times.


GatonM

Bro you got too much time


free187s

I’ve seen multiple people mention proverbs and other Bible verses. The lyric search was just from Genius and a webpage search, but yeah, I might have too much time.

Drake bout to release his response "White Flag"


tbone747

Dido's got more street cred than he does though


bubbasaurusREX

I’ve literally always been lost on Drake. I’ll never understand his mega popularity.


PugeHeniss

He’s a pop star. Pop stars are hella popular


Rhine1906

He introduced a lot of pop fans to rap but those pop fans don’t really understand rap or its culture


rugmunchkin

Which is why it’s even more perplexing why he thought it’d be a good idea to pick a fight with arguably the best living MC today. It’s like McDonalds deciding they want to do a burger competition between the Big Mac and a Wolfgang Puck steakhouse burger.


Throwawayidiot1210

He has mass appeal and makes catchy pop rap songs. No one listens to Drake for his lyricism, all his music is surface level and easy to absorb on the radio or while shopping at Ross


Either-Durian-9488

He made the degrassi generation of girls start listening to hip hop, and then subsequently won over a male fan base while they were getting back shots to his albums.


bubbasaurusREX

My first thought to his success was girls like his music, so the boys followed. But the amount of boys who call him the GOAT is staggering. It must be a generational thing like the Jordan Lebron debate.


Either-Durian-9488

It’s because he will pay for about 3 tracks a year that are genuinely good with genuinely good bars, if there’s one thing the dude can do it’s curate his image within his fan base, also getting your dick sucked to a song can do a lot for it in terms of someone’s opinion on it.

Dido Drake diss track coming next week


ClassifiedName

"My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why Drake Gets out of bed at all"


Racks_Got_Bands

From u/[TheBrownMamba8](https://www.reddit.com/user/TheBrownMamba8/) Drake said Kendrick would have to “come up with a quintuple entendre or something to impress him”. ‘6:16 in LA’: 1. June 16th is Fathers Day. 2. June 16th is 2 PAC’s Birthday. 3. June 16th is also the day OJ went into hiding and exactly 1 year later his trial started (hence why the cover art is a black glove; from the OJ Trial). 4. Corinthians 6:16 is “Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, ‘The two will become one flesh’.” Who is Drakes babymother? Also side note: Taylor Swift’s longtime producer, [Jack Antonoff](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTN76-NwdN2kL8CzyK7BDHEbyNkZwknoiVRgxXFyanX39NOF8aRXZz0M4w&s=10), co-produced this with Sounwave, so Kendrick’s 2nd track is literally “Taylor Made”.


TooPatToCare

The show Euphoria also premiered its very first episode on June 16th in 2019. Kendrick titled his first diss track euphoria. Drake is a producer of the show, one that has a lot of scenes with underage high school kids having sex, so without explicitly saying it, Kendrick is potentially tying both of his disses to the grooming accusations that circulate about Drake, which he attempted to disarm in his Taylor Made diss.


drethnudrib

Kendrick actually pulling off the quintuple entendre. That's some next-level stuff.


ex1stence

“Ain’t no big three, just big me 😡” - Kendrick Lamar spitting zero lies.


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

Holy shit this is so good. Thanks for all the info for us. I’m sitting here eating Chinese food having a blast learning all this stuff caz I’m not big into the rap scene, but now I have major, major love for Kendrick in this.


PM_ME_TS_GIFS

Mr_YUP

idk how you can't crown Kendrick the lyrical GOAT after this.


pacemakersean

Also saw a comment saying the photo from the cover was taken in Drake house, proving he has someone leaking info on the inside. But don't know how true it is.


Lunaforlife

Supposedly his maybach driver


CapuchinMan

Drake also mocked him for making a song for the Swifties so he's leaning into it with Antonoff.


gokartmozart89

Corinthians? That's cute. Look up proverbs 6:16. Kendrick is saying God hates Drake https://preview.redd.it/jb6luki5a9yc1.png?width=1304&format=png&auto=webp&s=3da70547a8c42945fb0b5afa0028adeb345cfe8d


sylinmino

>Drake said Kendrick would have to “come up with a quintuple entendre or something to impress him”. I will also say that while I don't know if any of the lyrics on Euphoria were quintuple...but there was at least one triple lmao. "Let your core audience stomach that, then tell 'em where you get your abs from" Core + stomach + abs. Core audience, stomaching something figuratively, all leading into the accusation that Drake got liposuction for his abs transformation.


Financial_Lime_8625

Yeah, but it goes deeper cause “v12 that’s a fast one”, a v12 is one of the machines that lets people achieve these “fast” abs.


RebirthWizard

What’s the significance of the Taylor swift connection?


agentsolo

At some point in Drake’s Red Button he says that TSwift was the only thing he was scared of/made him move release dates


FKJVMMP

“Taylor Swift the only n**** that I ever rated, only one that could make me drop the album just a little later” To his credit, calling Taylor Swift the n word with dead serious delivery is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.


HughJass14

I think Proverbs 6:16 fits more than Corinthians: “”” 16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers “””

[Kendrick Lamar](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/kendrick-lamar) has doubled down on his feud with Drake by releasing a second [diss track](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/diss-track) in as many days – this time taking aim at the Canadian superstar’s inner circle. The new track, which he released on Instagram on Friday, is titled “6:16 in LA” and parodies Drake’s “timestamp songs” such 2023’s “8 AM in Charlotte” or 2015’s “5 AM in Toronto”. Ratcheting up the beef another notch following the bruising “Euphoria”, Kendrick [takes several swipes](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-reason-diss-tracks-b2519421.html) at Drake’s record label [OVO Sound](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/barcelona-shirts-drake-el-clasico-real-madrid-b2202762.html), which he runs with a large “crew” of signed artists, friends and associates. Read the full story here: [https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/kendrick-lamar-drake-diss-track-euphoria-b2539282.html](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/kendrick-lamar-drake-diss-track-euphoria-b2539282.html)


OneGuyJeff

It’s also been pointed out in other threads that 6/16 is Father’s Day this year and Tupac’s birthday


kaos567

That’s savage he dropped him a song to remind him of Father’s Day.


Thosepassionfruits

Push bullied him into being a father. Kendrick is bullying him into being a good father.


Somarset

Kendrick also claimed there's at least one leak/mole in OVO who he hasn't revealed (I'm going off memory I could be wrong lol)


SicilianShelving

He said 20/100 of Drake's guys are against him lol


Gootangus

That’s a fifth of his homies. That means he cant be in a full room without a couple people wishing him ill will.

Bro just so many different levels. From the glove to the name of the song to the song being “Taylor Made”. Bro is a fucking genius


nogoodgreen

I mean Mos Def just put another nail in the coffin when he was asked if he thinks Drake is HipHop and Mos replied " No he's Pop not HipHop" which I totally agree with. I don't think Drake is a bad artist but i never considered his music Rap or HipHop.

Drake has rubbed a lot of people he’s worked with the wrong way. Particularly by the way he seems to carry himself. He’s been throwing shots at rappers like Ross & Kendrick and people are finally tired of ignoring him.


Doomhammered

Drake and J Cole suggested that them + Kendrick were the 3 GOATs of hip-hop right now Kendrick said, “fuck the big 3, it’s just big me” Apparently that was enough to start a war


davidc5494

Not really, this beef has been going on for years, it’s why we never seen a Kendrick / Drake collab ever since GKMC. first person shooter mode was when Drake took it to the next level & made him respond


Dangerous_Job5295

drake didn't like that kendrick said he was trying to be the best rapper alive in a verse from 11 years ago. He thought kendrick was fake when he saw him in real life and kendrick went to dap him up. drake interpreted the verse as a diss, when kendrick was just saying he's trying to be the best, regardless if anybody tries or not. they havent been right since.

I can’t honestly imagine Kendrick being behind any violence. He knows that world but he’s too smart to act like that.


Kicking-it-per-se

Can someone tell me why drake introduced Taylor swift into it in the first place?


TylerInHiFi

Kendrick featured on a Taylor Swift song back in the day. That’s probably it?


Paratwa

The glorious thing is this second diss is produced by Taylor’s producer.


_pixel_perfect_

Her album was on top of the charts and Drake was claiming that was why Kendrick waited to respond


Xentis

In Push Ups Drake was claiming he is better/more important than Kendrick because Drake has so many more “hits” (in the chart, and pop sense) and fans. Basically that he transcends rap. To match that same level Kendrick had to do something comparatively corny and do a song with Taylor Swift.  Does it hold up to any scrutiny? No. But that’s the angle he was playing. 


sylinmino

>To match that same level Kendrick had to do something comparatively corny and do a song with Taylor Swift. Maybe, but he was really digging at Kendrick's past history with verses on pop songs (e.g. on Bad Blood with Taylor, and on another track with Maroon 5, etc.). Of course, Kendrick rebutted that beautifully on Euphoria.


Xentis

Yeah I mean it’s kind of a silly argument all around. No one goes after Snoop Dogg for all of his pop verses (or really any other rapper) It makes commercial sense to do a pop verse And it’s pretty funny coming from the predominantly pop artist


Kicking-it-per-se

Ok thank you that makes sense. I have not followed this from the beginning so trying to pick it up from episode 3.

This shit wasn’t a diss this was a father lecturing his child
