    If I had to guess, I’d say Drake drops his diss by Friday the earliest. Maybe over the weekend.

    I’d assume he already has something worked out but needs to go back & rework it to rebuttal some of the things Kendrick said.

    100% agree, no need to add race to this…but shows how lame theses disses are…Rick Ross benefit from having this white boy on his tracks….now he’s hating on a guy who is light skin lol

    you’re right though..imagine drake saying something about how dark Rick Ross is or Kendrick geeeez…they would consider him racist lol

    come up with something more clever.

    culture vulture is next lol

    I’m shocked he hasn’t used Jew boy yet lol ready do music execs to come down on you

    “This Kendrick Lamar diss is deeper then you guys think

    We know throughout the track Kendrick Lamar is calling Drake a fake gangster, saying he’s a fraud who acts tough.

    But the track gets more intresting and deeper towards the end.

    Kendrick says near the end:

    “Yeah, OV-ho n***** is d-ck riders
    Tell 'em run to America, they imitate heritage, they can't imitate this violence”

    He’s calling out Toronto gangs for being fake, imitators of American culture. More specifically he’s calling out Toronto gangs for imitating LA g--- culture. As he says “they can’t imitate this violence”

    Then he starts mocking the Toronto accent and the slang.

    “Don't speak on the family, crodie
    It can get deep in the family, crodie
    Talk about me and my family, crodie?
    Someone gon' bleed in your family, crodie”

    He’s mocking them for the word “crodie” which is taken from the LA slang “brodie”, obviously changed from “b” to “c” because of the Crips in Toronto.

    Kendrick is mocking Toronto gangs for being imitators of LA gangs and saying that they aren’t a threat.

    This is when it gets deeper. He says:

    “I be at New Ho King eatin' fried rice with a dip sauce and blamy, crodie
    Tell me you're cheesin', fam
    We can do this right now on the camera, crodie”

    New Ho King is a Chinese Resturant on Spadina Avenue in Toronto. New Ho King is ALSO where a Toronto rapper named Sizzlac filmed his last music video before being shot and killed.

    Sizzlac got shot and killed days after dropping a diss record titled “Realest in the 6”, and in the music video for the record he’s at New Ho King.

    Sizzlac is also rumored to be one of the people that robbed Drake at gunpoint in 2009. Drake got robbed in 2009 by two people at gunpoint and it’s been rumored for a long time that one of them was Sizzlac. Also supposedly Drake was going to file a police report, but didn’t because it would effect his rap career being labeled as a snitch. Remember Kendrick said “I know some s--- about n***** that make Gunna Wunna look like a saint”.

    Drake got robbed and his chain was snatched after being set up by a girl. He raps about it in a few of his songs like “The Reaistance” or “Away From Home”.

    Drake recently has aligned himself with another Toronto rapper named Pressa. He brought him out on tour a few years ago and shouted him out on his latest album For All The Dogs.

    Pressa is apart of the Driftwood CRIPS g---.

    The Driftwood Crips and Sizzlacs g--- have had a long rivalry.

    Pressa said in his song Attachments, “Sizzlac dead, and they don't post him on the 'Gram”

    No one knows who shot and killed Sizzlac, it’s all rumors that it could have been someone from his g--- or other gangs that killed him.

    So, when Kendrick says that he’s at New Ho King with a blammy and that he can do it on camera. He’s saying that unlike Sizzlac, he’s in Drakes city (Toronto) at New Ho King with a gun and that he’s ready to do it on camera.

    He also mocks the Toronto Crips (Driftwood Crips/Pressas Crew) by making fun of their slang, accent and calling them fake imitators of LA g--- culture.

    Kendrick saw that Drake has been aligning himself with these Crips in his city of Toronto (maybe even being involved in Sizzlacs death after getting robbed for his chain) and called Drakes BS. He called the Crips in his city fake, made fun of them for copying LA culture while also saying he’s at New Ho King with a gun and that Drake won’t do anything about it.

    This also ties in with him calling Drake a culture vulture throughout the track and is a direct response to Drake using LA legends AI voices like Pac and Snoop to diss Kendrick. “I'd rather do that than let a Canadian n**** make Pac turn in his grave”. Drake has been saying he’s bigger then Kendrick in LA, mocking him for supposedly being the “West Coast Savior” so Kendrick returns fire by making fun of Toronto.



    Also remember when Drake said:

    “Hugs and kisses, man, don't tell me 'bout no switches
    I'll be rockin' every f---in' chain I own next visit, ayy”?

    He says he’ll rock every chain he owns on his next visit to LA. This could play into Kendrick with the subliminal Sizzlac reference, since he supposedly robbed Drakes chain in Toronto (his own city).

    Right at the end of the track Kendrick says: “They punk y’all n*****, nobody never took my food”

    Reference to New Ho King and Drake (and Sizzlac) both getting punked in Toronto.”

    I feel like Kendrick really broke Drake down piece by piece. It seems like he also threw way more overall insults and made more points than Drake while also giving rebuttals to some of Drake’s points. To be fair Drake’s track wasn’t just aimed at Kendrick though

    I’m looking forward to next round big time, especially with a full diss aimed at Kendrick.

    I don't know if Drake will respond. I thought kendricks diss was better, but it wasn't a knock out punch, or scathing enough to say there is a clear winner. Drake could easily not respond and it's probably the smart thing for him to do. He will probably just spin it off like he already won and his fanboys will agree

    nah if he doesn't respond to this then he's a joke. This isn't Pusha T where Drake can't go as low as him and has to take the L and walk away. He absolutely has to respond

    Good points, but people keep saying Drake has “a bomb” waiting for Kendrick. Plus, even Drake said, “this ain’t even everything I know, don’t wake the demon up” on his track so if he doesn’t respond he’s gonna look like a lying p----. I guess he already looks like that though regardless. On top of that, he was practically begging Kendrick to respond as if he already had something bigger to reply with.

    I have Kendrick 1 up but enjoyed both songs.

    Hopefully Kendrick's next one will be more savage though. It was a great song but felt pretty tame, Drake never said anything too crazy either.

    Doubt there will be any more disses. Drake will play the "not worth responding to" card and Kendrick will just carry on as he was

    Yeah, the one thing that bothers me about euphoria is the few lines where Kendrick goes easy on Drake. In one line he says he’s sparing Drake, in another line he calls Drake his friend, in another line he says he liked “Back to Back”. Those lines slightly took me out of it. I know these guys aren’t gonna k--- each other or anything, but d--- it doesn’t have to be so friendly

    This whole beef is weird as f--- honestly. It’s obvious Kendrick has more creative talent in his big toe than Drake has had throughout his entire career, and J Cole is fine, but the whole “top 3” thing dates back to the early 2010s when they were all first popping off…and they (specifically Drake and Kendrick) went in two very different directions artistically

    Drake is obviously the more commercially successful but he’s a f---ing culture vulture chameleon. There isn’t a natural progression to his artistry. You can’t compare Room For Improvement and Comeback Season to his s--- now. He broke the code for commercial success but did so by leeching off of every other style and trend. He’s a brand, not an artist. Zero integrity. But he has a massive ego so it muddies the whole thing.

    It’s an interesting exercise because Drake could have easily built off of the success and sound of Take Care and had a really interesting artistic career, and still have been wildly successful and generated generational wealth. Obviously without being the biggest artist in the history of music, but was that really worth it?
