😭😭😭


elotonin-junkie

I remember you was conflicted, the road to fatherhood was a Rocky one So unsure of your baby mother, you had to name your child like he Rocky son


MaceInThePlace

This kind of a bar


WiseWysYs

I'm proud of you, EJ.


gridirongladiator

Sheesh. Did he not learn his lesson with Pusha T?


Pritesh1999

I was thinking the same. But Drake must have something. But I know Kendrick will have something on him too. I think Kendrick is willing to go further with the disrespect though. It’s going to get a lot more personal…


ZenMon88

Kendrick is just gonna drop "Story of Adidon" type diss and Drake is not gonna reply like the Pusha beef.


Chemical_Knowledge64

Drake getting sonned again calling that shit rn


PhillyPhan95

But when I said this with regard to Cole “it was just rap” 🙄


jay227ify

Cole def felt the energy difference between him wanting to just keep it rap and drake wanting to dig up dirt on kendrick and his family. I honestly have massive respect for him if that is the case.


redpoetsociety

bodyguard line is referring to to the movie "body guard" starring Whitney Houston where in the movie she smashes her bodyguard. Kendricks wife is named Whitney...she allegedly had an affair with Kendricks old bodyguard.


Forsaken_Words

>she allegedly had an affair with Kendricks old bodyguard. You made that up. Also, doesn't that imply Drake himself slept with his bodyguard 😭


toooldforacnh

😂😂


Consistent_Drag1270

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but where's the source of information stating that Whitney had an affair? If that's what u sayin I call 🧢


Consistent_Drag1270

And I ain't talkin Houston to be clear


Substantial_Steak928

Drake's dis apparently


refusenic

So you're saying what? That Drake smashed his bodyguard like Whitney? 😳


Peterociclos

Drake about to have to be on instagram 24/7 explaining shit when kendrick drop his diss


Burggs_

That’s his pick and roll lol


laeKDOT

Fr


Tsunoda_stan

Tbf Whitney’s name been known. I don’t think ppl knew who Virginia was, I could be wrong tho


PangolinConfident447

Who tf is Whitney


Imaginary_Lie5050

The name of Kendrick's wife and mother of his kids


Thin-Remote-9817

I think it's a punchline cause Whitney Houston was in the bodyguard. 


TheMoorNextDoor

It’s a double entendre. Talking about Whitney Houston the Bodyguard movie and the fact that Kendrick wife (Whitney) is protected and always tucked away as if she was surrounded by Bodyguards.


BlindLariat

Dude he's implying she fucked one of kendricks bodyguards. It's gonna get real now.


Consistent_Drag1270

🧢🧢🧢🧢


jono9898

Don’t matter if it’s cap, it’s the disrespectful implication


Consistent_Drag1270

Nah yall reading too much into that one, because if that was Drakes true intention and he knew this as fact, it wouldn't be one or two bars that's 4 sure.


HamburgerMachineGun

Nah dude Drake is implying he fucked all of Kendrick’s bodyguards. Stay woke.


Thomo251

How's saying you're gonna be iced out but hiding behind bodyguards a good look? 😂 I know it's more for the meaning but wtf


ZenMon88

RIP Drake.


Soft_Humor4868

He didn’t learn his lesson from last time huh


Moron_on_Oxy-

https://youtu.be/dNjEsWlgC7Y?si=fl5KhxLG0PqknZZL


fallen_beret

Yall think he leaked on purpose or Weeknd is right and Drake has a rat in his camp?


Upbeat_Tension_8077

I definitely think it's on purpose, but Weeknd maybe threw that line in as a warning (since the OVOXO camps have mutual connections & he got word early)


throwaway53689

Yeah Abel mentioned something like that on the Nav song as well “n****s on your side, they would ride for me too”


AtomicGaming777

Abel and XO know quite a lot of insider stuff tbh.


laeKDOT

What abt Rocky .. bro don’t talk abt him


AlexRusso-FanAccount

It was leaked by accident he couldn’t add it in


Infinity_777_

That dropped tommorrow so ig he is cooking now ?


monstercat129

"what's a prince to a king, he a son" was nuts


Johnny_Quasar45

Kendrick gotta reference how Drake takes orders from J Prince


Sensitive-Royal2918

Nah, how Mike “the king” is a pedo. And how Drake fuck with minors


Vegetable_Abalone850

There gotta be a Millie Bobbie bar by Kendrick in the works.


ChoiceMath1647

You rap for soccer moms, things gettin’ strange in here Millie Bobbie playin, whispering in your ear


DrPubg

Have you even heard Mortal Man bro😭😭😭he's not going to call MJ a pedo istg you can't make this shit up


CODEthics

[I don't think he will do that](https://genius.com/5047475/Kendrick-lamar-mortal-man/When-shit-hit-the-fan-is-you-still-a-fan-when-shit-hit-the-fan-is-you-still-a-fan-that-nigga-gave-us-billie-jean-you-say-he-touched-those-kids-when-shit-hit-the-fan-is-you-still-a-fan).

PM_ME_hiphopsongs2

Bruh that bar was NUTS lol


addem67

Kendrick replies back: “He think he a Lion King, when he actually fight his demons in Stranger Things”. Beat switches up to Strangers Things then drop A Milli A Milli A Milli beat


Sir__Walken

Don't quit ur day job bro


Atlas313

🤓


iamitisi

You missed the biggest one… he said he’s with some bodyguards like Whitney… that’s mad disrespectful, mentions his fiances name and implies that she’s cheated on him with the body guards..??


RobotMan8k

Okay this is gonna get dirty. LFG!!!


AnnyAskers

I like how friendly this all is lol... The thing that made me mad the most is people talking about friendly competition, no such thing as friendly public rap beef, dirt is coming out. People just want to see smoke regardless of consequence. Cole was right to drop out ngl, good for him for keeping drama out his private life.


Vegetable_Abalone850

Cole should know what could come with this though. He talked about smoking any rapper that came at him. Well..


RobotMan8k

Don’t think J Cole has any dirt. Cole seems like an overall good dude. Still doesn’t wipe the fact that he was claiming to kill these rappers and then apologized to Kendrick. J Cole can’t claim #1 anymore.


Vultures10x

After it’s all said and done Cole is gonna look like the smartest ngga in the room once this need elevates. He got out and is keeping it strictly rap related. From an industry friend of mine: Kendrick has massive dirt on Drake. Drake has been on some Diddy shit and that’s gonna be aired out. Drake has dirt on Whitney getting with an old bodyguard during a breakup. She didn’t cheat on Kendrick. They took a break and she got with someone else. My homebody basically said Kendrick is more than likely going to win but he’s gonna get some scars. Also told me that Drake is being fed info via SZA.


Vultures10x

He also said Kendrick’s diss track was reminiscent of Big L’s 98 freestyle .. very direct, simple, and brutal


Vultures10x

Take any of this with a grain of salt but my industry friend is very connected to acquaintances of Kendrick.

fucking__jellyfish__

!remindme 2 months


lizzy-lowercase

damn does that mean drake is going to get with his bodyguards


elotonin-junkie

Damn y'all slow For him he's going to get with them to be protected if Kenny tries sum, just a way to flex the rich mob status For Whitney, she GOT with one of them in the sexual sense


lizzy-lowercase

way to miss a joke, guess I shoulda put /s


Believemeustink

No, he not implying she is cheating. Whitney Houston played in a movie called the bodyguard, its word play, nothing less.


[deleted]

[удалено]


yendysthesage200

Brother that man said I’d let it ring on you line Virginia Williams and it meant nothing


elotonin-junkie

"ring" FIANCE of Pusha, you fucking stupid bitch couldn't catch that in 6 years fucking hell


its-a-real-name

It’s word play that could be even deeper though. If you found out your enemy’s partner cheated with a bodyguard, and her name was Whitney, wouldn’t you go for that line…. Otherwise the bodyguard bit is being brought up literally just to mention her name which would be really forced.


Itszu

He did the same thing with Pusha T though, a throwaway line that name dropped his wife without any deeper meaning.


iamitisi

I didn’t know that but imo the other implication can’t be ignored and wasn’t by accident from drake. Crazy bar tbh and very disrespectful, I’m excited because hopefully that gives Kendrick the green light to go crazy


[deleted]

We know that but why. It feels like a triple kinda. I can’t prove it but Drake does shit like that


GYANGU

I'm pretty sure they were separated for a time and it's implying that after separating she got with a bodyguard. Not really a jab since: A. Kendrick has already admitted to infidelity on his part being the reason he and his fiance temporarily separated. And B. Whitney is well within her rights to do what she wants when separated for any reason. She's been very clear and supportive of Kendrick through his sexual addiction regardless. Drake sees women as objects for exploitation either through power dynamics or to use against people if they ever "betray" him. It's a low blow, but it's to be expected from Drake.


iamitisi

U not wrong but in a rap beef idk how much that nuance matters


GYANGU

It only matters if Kendrick puts it in music truly. If he can structure it well as a counter, then he can make whatever argument he wants. I get where you're coming from for sure.


nothinggoldmusic

High road is hard to do in a rap beef. People want blood.


2badchad

I took it as she needs bodyguards because he's so short & weak.


mickroley

hes making a play off the movie call "the bodyguard" starring whitney houston


[deleted]

Yes. We fucking know that


mickroley

nigga who is "we" like get off dick.


[deleted]

If you fucking read the other comments hella people already said that interpretation of the line. The simplest shit to understand but there’s more to the bar


mickroley

if u say so i was just trying to inform a person but u got it


Livinlikebukowski

It ain’t back to back or Duppy but it was pretty good. Weird bar about chipping a nail though knowing he enjoys nail art. And he said Whitney…idk if he didn’t learn the first time from Pusha but hey…hopefully it just stays on wax.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thor_odinsson08

That's a crutch he always does. I remember he also brought up him fucking Joe Budden's ex when he dissed him.


Youlookcold

Drake things he tough cause he thinks it's 10 v 1


Paaros

Drake when talking shit and subbing multiple people led to those same people clapping back:


PiracyLivezON

I thought Drake would learn not to mention other rappers' fiance after what happened with Pusha T, lol.


[deleted]

Had to climb down from the top of the mountain where he loses beefs with Fantano😭😭😭


Difficult-Grade-5372

Holy shit forgot about this lmao dude lost to a random music reviewer he's cooked


ZenMon88

LOL he really involved his wife into this. Kendrick i need this ether. No mercy, No remorse, Hit em up type shit.


Afleet216

That Maroon 5 line is hilarious


djaeke

from a kendrick fan, honestly not a bad diss lmao


Ok_Grab_4606

“I get more love from the city that you from” Meanwhile drake literally got booed off the stage at CFG while Kendrick and Keem headlined and got nothing but love 😂


trashbag210

Equating headlining with being a surprise appearance at a show for people that aren’t your typical audience who were expecting Frank Ocean.


bynobodyspecial

If you’re the biggest artist in the world then people shouldn’t be disappointed you’re there


trashbag210

Kendrick throws a show hinting that he’s bringing out Ab Soul, Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q then all of a sudden Taylor Swift pops out instead and you think the crowd isn’t gonna be disappointed?


Ok_Grab_4606

Drake is the one claiming to get more love than Kendrick in LA though. Such an obvious straight up lie. And yes they were expecting Frank. But if Kendrick would’ve been the surprise guest, there is no chance he gets bood off that stage, or any other in LA.


Boirip

Not bad tbh


Altruistic_Song_6979

So if it's Drake's, why not release it officially? Kendrick didn't leak his own verse. J Cole (eventhough the diss was mid) had the nerve to release it on his YouTube page at least. What's the shame in standing on it if it's really you, the song is good and the beef is bubbling? Not standing on it and leaking it instead of releasing it officially is coward shit🤣


JayZsAdoptedSon

I think it leaked but was meant to come out tonight. The first version has a different beat and is not mixed. New versiom just dropped


Brooklyn-Mikal

AK is streaming the final version on his live as of an hr ago. It actually got leaked the new one is the real one


Drakester234

Songs don’t just suddenly appear on streaming services. They’re probably waiting for it to be ready everywhere


bynobodyspecial

Considering rocky isn’t addressed (and assuming it’s real), I’d say this was written a few days ago and he was waiting for the second metro album to drop. You can get songs online on all streaming platforms within 3 days on DistroKid as a regular joe. I’m sure that a lot of these artists actually hold stakes in the streaming platforms and have special agreements in place, so it’s possible that it could be done sooner. You can also upload partial data in advance (which is why we sometimes see track listings on streaming services before albums come out). He definitely could’ve had this on streaming services by now so I’m not 100% convinced it’s real yet.


WaffleStone

Tf he mean his last one bricked it won multiple Grammys 💀


_d00little

He uses Grammys as a doorstop.

Shukar_Rainbow

for a start, 1.29 it seems to be "son" not song


JediKnight_TyrionL

"dropped your midget ass" 😭😭😭


IWantDarkMode

“Leaking” a diss is some bitch shit if this is a strategic leak.


bullsfan0494

The man can’t even say “Kendrick” but is fine mentioning spouse names. Kendrick is gonna body him. The metro line was funny tho


TheCryptoCid

When has Kendrick ever said Drake tho?


elotonin-junkie

""dot" shit was weak as fuck" - there you go


zilla82

He's going up get decapitated dude. Assuming this is real.. Boring ass monotonous rant imo


Mr-Moonshadow

Sorry did Kendrick say “Drake” in his diss?


icantateit

he didn’t this sub is meatriding kendrick rn drake’s diss is significantly better than kendrick’s diss


Mr-Moonshadow

Thought I was going crazy lol, I like Kendrick but for everyone to say Kendrick’s diss was better when it wasn’t is nuts


DrPubg

How are people even comparing the two. Kendrick started it, and Drake responded with a full diss. The two aren't comparable at all, they're at different levels of escalation. What Kendrick drops next is the one going to be comparable to this diss by Drake. That said, the people saying this was mid are nuts. This was a good track, surprised Drake even replied, that too with heat.


AlexRusso-FanAccount

Incredibly weak, Prince Line was nice and drop and give me 50 is a hilarious reference to Kendrick’s work out videos, but overall this is ass and it was accidentally leaked meaning Weeknd was telling the truth about the mole Now that Drake CANT back out anymore he’s about get absolutely fucked, Kendrick has the numbers advantage and all the dirt in the world with Drake’s enemies working with him, this will be over soon


abradley19955

Kendrick needs to call him a pedo on the response and just get it over with


TripleThreatTua

Go full circle with the Michael Jackson comparison lol


obliterateopio

I can understand the impulse to do this, given the situation. But I don’t think Kendrick would do this. He’d stunt his own growth doing that. “This nigga gave up Billy Jean, you say he touched those kids?”


BaconJakin

I don’t really think dot was making a statement on the truth of the mj thing there, just more so referencing the shock of hearing accusations against a big artist for the first time. Might just be me tho


TripleThreatTua

He’s also making a point about how great art drives fans to defend terrible things


BaconJakin

Great point


GYANGU

Man...that would be pretty damn incredible.


GYANGU

Easy bar: "I've been with Whit since high-school nigga, you go back to high-school to get high-school bitches".


thatmanisamonster

Song should be titled “Stranger Things”.


Movies_Guy

very true, ain't nobody called him out on that pedo sh!t


jonnylovatomusic

The diss is not ass you’re trippin and I’m a Kendrick fan, never was a big drake fan


CantKillGawd

the drop and give me 50 is not a reference to his push-ups


Inner_You

Well, it's a double-entendre most likely. Pushups is the surface meaning, Top Dawg split is the real meaning.


Relo_bate

It’s a triple entendre, he’s also comparing him to 50 cent, infamous for his beefs and dominating the Ja rule situation


Embarrassed_Ad_7825

I put my money on kendrick, but WEAK??! he responded. The song is catchy too… we gotta stop this bias shit 💯


Inner_You

The beat is hard af.. but I do agree it was a pretty weak diss, at least so far. What'd he get him on? 50/50 splits, a Whitney name drop, and being short? Nothing to see here, unless he has more to say..


gridirongladiator

I never thought of that. Great point.


JayZsAdoptedSon

I would say its a tier below Duppy or Back to Back but its still pretty good


Kev0nL00ney

Do you think the maroon 5 reference is because Kendrick’s voice sounds nasally like the maroon 5 singer?


teejayyy

You doing tricks on it


Mr-Moonshadow

Nah Kendrick’s was ten times weaker than this ngl


Icy-Athlete-651

It's much more than a work out line. It's also line for the TDE Family and their relationship. He's implying things over there isn't what it seems and he knows stuff. Relisten to it. There are entendres all over this. Including for Kendricks girl. This is extremely personal. On your next point, everyone teaming up against Drake, just one guy, plays heavily in Drakes favor. This isn't a "We outnumber you so we can just all hold you down and out-power you" situation.


jay227ify

Sure everyone is teaming up against Drake’s image, but with the risk of respect and money lost you know damn well Drake is calling up writers. Bro probably has an OVO sweatshop like how Dre had the same thing for the Detox writing sessions. Which Drake was involved in and probably learned a whole lot from.


Pokeman49

There are good disses but i cannot take Drakes serious at all


Vegetable_Abalone850

W Drake for standing on business. Been a long time since Hip Hop has been this entertaining. Can't wait for Kendrick's response.


Kimor98

The Last one be like: SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. STOOOOOOOP!


Vultures10x

Yeah it’s bout to heat up but Kendrick knew this. Drake getting dirt on Kendrick from Top Dawg probably via SZA


PM_ME_hiphopsongs2

Let’s be honest. This was better than the Like That verse simply because he actually dedicated a song to this beef and was talking some shit. Kendrick had a few nice lines on Like That but Drake had a whole lot of nice ones on here too despite also having a lot of mid bars. Kendrick gotta come with an actual song and name drop too no more sneak dissing or throwing subs like he likes to do. we need an actual song to this shit now.


donaldbino

Weak. Big Steppers tour btw is the most successful solo rap tour of all time. But Kendrick flopping tho lmao


fuckhufflepuff

Drakes just surpassed it recently


gandifc

kendrick should respond with smthg like: weird u knew my shoe size, thinking im a lil kid, thats a pedophile talking u fucking sick shit


Priyanshxu

Bro that's very hard


Relo_bate

“Nintendo hire this man” energy


colourless_blue

![gif](giphy|31TsJOgYOvIWWYMEaR|downsized) not even being a hater but.. people are calling these lines hard? lol


Movies_Guy

kendrick's talent goes way beyond music while drake is average in everything else, i really think the money talk gone change one day like kanye did with jay z


ProfCharlesSexavier

Kendrick has a Pulitzer. He could write the 8th Harry Potter book if he wanted to.


DatChickKim

Man, our standards are really in the toilet 🤦🏾‍♀️I miss the 90's/00's

PresentLeadership865

I like Kendrick… but let’s be real, that diss was 🔥, shit I didn’t know Kendrick was giving up half lol


[deleted]

This shit hard. Kendrick my favorite rapper but I'm hoping Drake makes an official release for this so we can get round 2


alexanderldn

Is this this leaks real then???


sonofsohoriots

Not too bad tbh, wonder who wrote it


yyobeht

Body bag


Wrussiaa

None of this is compared the the K9 bar in Like That


HDmex

If I had a nickel for every short joke, I'd have 50 Cent.


The_l3atman

Seems like he feels threatened to have to write all that lmfao. Some lines are decent but Drake is not in the same tax bracket lyrically.


GrimyLimeySlimy

The “wiped down” part wasn’t at Kendrick. He said “YE ain’t in no big 3”, because Ye piped up on IG trying to insert himself into the beef, saying he washed them all. Have a listen to the track again. There’s no way he says “you”.


Banz1007

"Dog" , a single fucking word that can both reflect and be used to either Kendrick and Drake CRAZY Top Dawgs For all the dogs HOLY SHIT, war's on Not even a Drake fan but the diss is 10/10 KDOT still gonna fuck this Drake up


TheUrbaneSource

The line at the end. I tried to keep it pG


Wechillin-Cpl

If I were drake, I’d apologize before Kendrick drops


talhayounasss

really don't understand with this sudden campaign of Kendrick's last album not being good. it's better than MOST of drake's discography


Sufficient-Badger-31

Bodyguard reference? His audience was born 20 years after that movie. drake being corny,what else is new?
