So Kendrick Dropped ANOTHER Drake diss (Saturday May 4)

[chazraps]

Language warning
TW: Child sexual assault allegations

Song absolutely rules. After the ominous destruction yesterday, Kendrick is pimp strutting like Suga Free over Drake's grave right now. On first listen, the line at 1:06 made me scream, it's just set up so masterfully in terms of rhyme structure and flow wise but still feels like a great surprise. On third listen, that Atlanta scheme at the end is the highlight for me, absolute masterful work.

Kendrick's going to win another Pultizer, this time for investigative reporting.

Behold, "Not Like Us"
Again, language warning:


We're all caught up on this beef at this point, right? If anyone may have missed it this week, it being the biggest rap beef since JAY-Z vs Nas and the first to crossover into the mainstream at SUCH a level since then, I'm happy to do another post with an abridged write-up filling people in.

Or, hey, here's a rundown but really you can just listen from 4/30's "Euphoria" onward to get the best parts -

DRAKE LOCKED HIS IG COMMENTS


THIS IS f***IN' OVER FOR HIM

[Jindrak Mark]

All the little subliminals over the years I didn't think were necessarily friendly but maybe just like competitive jabs but no, Kendrick just straight up despises this man Drake.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

this shit makes that thing with pusha look like melina vs alicia fox lmao

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

J Cole did the right thing and walked away, loving how Kendrick hinted at someone giving him inside info and Meet the Grahams dropped right after family matters.

[EZ: Brainy Bae]

Stunned in awe at the talent AND scope of this dead-body-stomping

Kdot saw the Playa Hata thread and said "That's funny. Watch this"

[Mozenrath]

J. Cole could not be more vindicated in going "Uhh, I was wrong, sorry dude" and escaping the blast radius. Wise.

Meanwhile, Drake probably should have just called it a day with Pushups and not further provoked Kendrick. He got some decent licks in (for Drake, I mean, given he is well out of his depth here), but thought Kendrick was bluffing about having more bullets. He was emphatically not.

[Cyno]

Kendrick is destroying this man's soul. Jesus.

[Malibu Albino]

Absolutely incredible stuff. Kendrick already had the man dead with “Meet the Grahams” and now he’s destroying the body with “Not Like Us” while implying that he still has more tracks left to drop. Drake should walk away while he still can.

Don’t know Jack shit about battle rap or dis tracks, but there’s one line toward the end that really isn’t sitting well with me. I hope I’m over reacting and it has nothing to do with making a connection to Drake’s heritidge and current global events.

[The Kevstaaa]

Drake since confidently dropping "Family Matters"

I’m not 100 percent on what line you mean, but if it’s the one near the end about “Family Matters” and “God’s Plan” it is literally just Kendrick taking a shot at Drake using 2 of Drake’s own song titles. The former being the title of Drake’s most recent diss on Kendrick.

Nah i wasn’t talking about that. I was talking about “You’re not a colleague, you’re a …”

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Someone more aware of the Atlanta scene or Drake’s history could probably explain that part better. I assumed he was just calling Drake out for using Atlanta rappers to up his own cred but I could be way off.

Again I’m totally ignorant to rap, and could be reaching I want to make that clear, but yeah…

That "kendrick we need ya" from AI 2pac turned that man into a terminator

Here I thought the only person who could hate Drake this much was Josh
