I am an old one. I was a kid in the Bronx when hip hop got started. Creative Dissing was what it was about. All I can say is that Kendrick brought me back to hip hop.

@iamlpdo19 1 year ago

Kendrick dropped in 17 days because he knew Drake couldn’t wait for the beef to turn 18.

@ItsChevnotJeff 1 year ago

From a comment in the Not Like Us video:

"Kendrick must have files in a folder in his cabinet labeled 'If that Canadian EVER'"

@jacobgraves340 1 year ago

Kendrick the typa mf to stare at drake from across the street and disappear when a bus passes

@c0ttonberries 11 months ago

I cant get over the streamer in a frenzy typing in "KENDRIC K LAMNAR" when he heard meet the grahams dropped. Perfect encapsulation of the moment

@iWicky 1 year ago

I love that you even embodied this message by delaying this video until the super bowl. You could've posted anytime since your Kendrick video, but you waited until the flowers came and dropped this at the perfect moment as well. The Delayed Gratification for you will shine through here.

@kyleanderson7026 1 year ago

"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake" kendrick knows this

@DumplingDave 1 year ago

"I’m not gonna lie, this shit was, uh, some good exercise, like
It’s good to get out, get the pen workin’" bro was writing like he was an anime villain

@magicalscrewup2496 1 year ago

I personally always thought the “dear baby girl verse” wasnt toward a specific child in particular, but all the kids that Drake hasn’t been forced to raise like Adonis. Saying I’m sorry to every kid he’s abandoned

@thebucknut 1 year ago

The absolute irony of Drake constantly saying big as the Super Bowl in the song that started all this and Kendrick ended it by playing the Super Bowl singing his biggest diss track against Drake lol

@alexhope8607 1 year ago

The daughter angle doesn’t take away from Kendrick’s credibility since Drake took credit for spreading the rumor

@pillowvibes 1 year ago

the nuances to his tone in euphoria that give him a childish quality also reflects drakes tone in push ups. he made fun of kendricks height and foot size like a little kid would, so kendrick responded with that same childish demeanor like we were watching two little kids argue

@newstarcadefan 11 months ago

Meanwhile Drake is the only person to lose a rap beef twice. On October 9th, the courts threw out Drake's Lawsuit against UMG.

@Alshaaaaa16 1 year ago

He just made the whole world singing "a minorrrrrr" for 10 months straight then won 5 Grammys, Absolute Cinema.

@ItsMathematics 1 year ago

I think that Cole pulling out because he knew his heart wasn't in it was actually a very mature decision.

@bkimatab 1 year ago

Euphoria is the best diss track ever heard.
Meet the Grahams is one of the best examples of successful psychological warfare we've ever witnessed.

@jonconstant3914 1 year ago

Never forget that Kung fu Kenny said he'd "up the score with them" on a song that was in B Minor after he dropped meet the grahams in A Minor. That actually happened. Dude has a Pulitzer for a reason.

@Ruuinx 1 year ago

Wait this is literally the first time I’m hearing The Heart Part 6 I didn’t even know it existed that’s how badly Kendrick annihilated the beef with Not Like Us

@LiveActionKimPossibleRufus 1 year ago

You know Meet the Grahams crazy powerful cause my pasty white ass who's favorite music is bagpipe and drum music heard about it the same day it dropped, and now I'm here.
