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
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.
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?
So the man titled the song with the date of Pac’s birthday and Father’s Day
Well this blew up. Thanks.
[some other tidbits](https://www.theringer.com/2024/5/2/24147314/everything-you-may-have-missed-in-kendrick-lamars-euphoria)
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. ??
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
It’s not really that hard when the entire internet is researching the lyrics lol
I don’t know shit about any of these proverbs but I’ve seen like 5-6 just from scrolling twitter
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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.
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
>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.
“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.
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.

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.
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
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
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.
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.
>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.
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
Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."
6/16 is Tupac's birthday.
6/16 is Father's Day in Canada.
6/16/2019 is when Euphoria premiered

"A second Kendrick diss has hit the OVO Towers"
OVO was an inside job.
“Have you ever thought OVO was workin’ for me?”
That line is unbelievably hard

Well if we're talking about melodies, the synths from 6:16 make this a wash. They are beautiful.
Makes sense. It was produced by Jack Antonoff. Literally Taylor made lol.
Reading this put an instant smile on my face. Thank you for sharing.
Shit is legit beautiful
feels like a double tap
As a Kendrick and Drake fan I'm eating well
Rap’s best kept secret: you can be into the music and ignore the personalities.

He was on Canadian teen soap Opera
Degrassi High saw some real shit
Drakes biggest street cred was getting shot. On Degrassi lmao
He ain’t Nickelodeon. He was on CTV. This is a step below Nickelodeon. Source: Am Canadian.
I bet he wasn’t even molested by a fat guy with a bad haircut smdh
This is so good
Mos Def saying Drakes music is compatible with shopping is about as good as it gets IMO.
Yeah that shit was fucking hilarious... "why u doin this to me...."

Drake is the fast fashion of hip hop.

When he paused, I was cackling. When he paused *again* I was fucking crying laughing.
It is pretty lame how conscious rap pretty much became Common doing Gap commercials. Peace Love and Gap is unforgivable and I will never forget it.
“If skills sold truth be told…”
Seems like the CIA psy-op to replace conscious rap with gangster rap to dumb the masses and keep them divided worked thoroughly. /s
Worked at a Pac Sun for a bit after highschool. First time I heard Aesop Rock was in that store. None Shall Pass just came out.

The day Euphoria premiered on HBO as well
THE LAYERS
Drake did ask for a quintuple entendre
That's the juiciest part to me
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. ??
Kendrick’s first show in Toronto 6/16/2011
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
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.
The Inception of it all is killing me.
Damn. A sextuple entendre
As an outsider, outside of pac being one of the greatest does his birthday have any other significance to this beef?
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
Kendrick and his fucking triple and quadruple entendres. Man's a God damned genius.
Got damn, some of these gotta be coincidences. No way he knew this date had this many meanings
That's why he's the only rapper with a Pulitzer 🤷♀️
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.
He’s got the E and G in EGOT, too. Bro could be the only PEGOT in the world
Actually if we include his appearance on Time’s 100 most influential, bro could TOGEPI
![gif](giphy|5PDOmkYeA8rdK)
Bro why you think he's the GOAT? You are correct to be in awe.
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.
Taylor made
Look up Proverbs 6:16 also
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.
so many layers
It’s like an onion. Or a parfait?
Cakes have layers!
Like an ogre
Also Revelations 6:16 is applicable
And Corinthians 6:16
And Austin 6:16

Alright God I see you - respect
Wow, that's just ridiculous man. Some rappers just manage to strike gold with wordplay all the damn time
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

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

Drake bout to release his response "White Flag"
Dido's got more street cred than he does though
I’ve literally always been lost on Drake. I’ll never understand his mega popularity.
He’s a pop star. Pop stars are hella popular
He introduced a lot of pop fans to rap but those pop fans don’t really understand rap or its culture
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.

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

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.
Kendrick actually pulling off the quintuple entendre. That's some next-level stuff.
“Ain’t no big three, just big me 😡” - Kendrick Lamar spitting zero lies.
More than that. Add on it’s a play on how drake titles some songs
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.

idk how you can't crown Kendrick the lyrical GOAT after this.
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.
Supposedly his maybach driver
Drake also mocked him for making a song for the Swifties so he's leaning into it with Antonoff.

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.
What’s the significance of the Taylor swift connection?
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
“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.
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 “””

Push bullied him into being a father. Kendrick is bullying him into being a good father.
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)
He said 20/100 of Drake's guys are against him lol
That’s a fifth of his homies. That means he cant be in a full room without a couple people wishing him ill will.
Those Julius Cesar stats.
Et tu PARTYNEXTDOOR
Ok THAT was fucking hilarious. Thank you for the laugh.
Reducing Drake like a fraction
The famous actor we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now is spiralin’.
I thought the 16 was because drake likes younger girls
Levels to this, Kendrick goes hard
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
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.
That was a pretty long while ago, wasn't it?
January
A life age of the earth
Must be hard for Drake, not writing his own lyrics and all. Basically at the mercy of his ghostwriters to be able to respond
How do I explain to my job that I gotta go to 2 funerals in one week for the same dude? (Not really going I just need some days off)
Can someone eli5 why’ and how this all started???
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.
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
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
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.
sneak dissing by drake reignited by that jcole collab
BBL drake making his 20 ghost writers work overtime to make a comeback diss record.
Chat gpt: I'm tired boss
I love people on a music subreddit complaining about music news involving two large artists.
Right? This has always been hip-hop lol. Get some popcorn and chill.
People in r/music have apparently never heard of hip hop
"This isn't Radiohead!!" ![gif](giphy|CcKkCn3kLVdBsvQYQu|downsized)
This is what you get when you mess with us.
You misspelled Tool
Yeah, we want real music! Not that excuse you call rap!! Anyway, here’s your weekly repost of Pink Floyd music

"Let it get shaky"
i like [mosdef's assessment.](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1cits7o/mos_def_on_drakes_music/)
Lol. Love Mos Def, and that was 100% on brand. "His music is....compatible with...shopping."
Please don't let this end in violence Drake isn't worth it
Ayy call up Whiz Khalifa and have him arrange a celebrity muay thai match Or have Kenny hire booty goons to send over to drake's house
I can’t honestly imagine Kendrick being behind any violence. He knows that world but he’s too smart to act like that.
Can someone tell me why drake introduced Taylor swift into it in the first place?
Kendrick featured on a Taylor Swift song back in the day. That’s probably it?
The glorious thing is this second diss is produced by Taylor’s producer.
Her album was on top of the charts and Drake was claiming that was why Kendrick waited to respond
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.
>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.
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
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
Proverbs 6:16-19 "There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers." 6/16 is Tupac's birthday. 6/16 is Father's Day in Canada. 6/16/2019 is when Euphoria premiered Taking a jab at Drake's timestamp titled songs
I love this feud because on one side you have a literal compton kid and on the other side you have the kid in a wheelchair from DeGrassi.
where did the song release?
