Drake And Kendrick Lamar Release 5 Diss Tracks
Drake and Kendrick Lamar were going back and forth over the weekend with 5 diss tracks between the two of them. On Friday, Kendrick released “6:16 in LA” where the Compton native was telling Drake that the people he has beside him are waiting to see him fail.
Drake Responds To Kendrick Lamar On “Family Matters” & “Buried Alive (Parody)”
Drake responded to Kendrick on “Family Matters” on Friday (May 3). Just as Drake has been taking shots at Kendrick’s fiancée Whitney Alford suggesting that he cheated on her with white women (which Kendrick has already admitted to on his own song “Mother I Sober.”)
“You the Black messiah wifing up a mixed queen/ And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem/ On some Bobby s—, I wanna know what Whitney need,” Drake raps referring to Alford.
Then Drake suggests that Kendrick’s kids are not his and that they’re Dave Free’s, who is a record executive and former president of Top Dawg Entertainment where Kendrick was originally signed before leaving in 2022. Drake also suggests that Kendrick has been physically abusive to his wife.
“Your baby mama captions always screamin, ‘Save me’/ You did her dirty all her life, you tryna make peace/ I heard that one of them little kids might be Dave Free/ Don’t make it dave freeze/ Cause if your GM is your BM secret BD,” Drake raps.
Then he uses the rest of the tape to take shots at The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, Future, Metro Boomin, and Rick Ross.
After Drake dropped “Family Matters” he also flipped his 2011 “Buried Alive Interlude” to create a parody diss track while waiting for Kendrick to respond. In the intro, Drake says that the only way for Kendrick is to be on top if he’s dead and that even if Kendrick dies, his feelings about him won’t change.
“If you were in a pine box, box/I would shovel dirt on top, top/I’d play this record on repeat, ‘peat/
You always been a bitch to me/If you was in a pine box, box/I would still be in my spot, spot/For you to make it to the peak, peak/It’d have to be the death of me, the death of me,” Drake raps in the intro.
In the first and only verse in the song, Drake reminds Kendrick who gave him a shot.
“Took you on your first tour with us, tryna catch a vibe/I was headline, you was standin’ on thе side/
Brought you and that other hoe along for the ride,” Drake raps referring to his 2012 Club Paradise Tour where Kendrick and A$AP Rocky headlined for him.
Kendrick Lamar Responds To Drake On “Meet The Grahams” & “Not Like Us”
Kendrick did not take too much time to respond to Drake and dropped two diss tracks: “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us.” The Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers creator dropped “Meet The Grahams” first, which was a direct attack at Drake, his mother Sandra Graham, his father Dennis Graham and Drake’s son Adonis. Kendrick also calls Drake a pedophile, says that he is addicted to gambling and drugs, has predators working with him. In some of Kendrick’s biggest accusations, he says that Drake belongs in a “cell” with former Hollywood producer and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein and that Drizzy has a secret 11-year-old daughter.
Kendrick begins the song addressing Adonis: “Dear Adonis, I’m sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest/It takes a man to be a man, your dad is not responsive/I look at him and wish your grandpa woulda wore a condom/I’m sorry that you gotta grow up and then stand behind him.”
Then he speaks to Drake’s mother Sandra: “Dear Sandra, your son got some habits/I hope you don’t undermine them.”
Kendrick does not hold back when addressing Drake’s father Dennis Graham: “You raised a horrible f—-’ person/The nerve of you, Dennis.”
He then addresses Sandra again but this time more harshly: “Your son’s a sick man with sick thoughts/I think n—– like him should die/Him and Weinstein should get f—– up in a cell for the rest of they life.”
“And we’ve gotta raise our daughters knowing there’s predators like him lurkin’/F— a rap battle, he should d–, so all of these women can live with a purpose,” he continues.
Kendrick then addresses the alleged 11-year-old daughter Drake is hiding who he affectionately calls “baby girl”: “I’d like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hiding another child/Give him grace/That’s the reason I made Mr. Morale,” referencing when Pusha T called Drake out on “The Story Of Adidon” about not publicly outing that he had a son.
Then Kendrick shoots directly at his target, Drake: “Why you had to stoop so low to discredit some decent people?” he asks, “Guess integrity is lost when the metaphors doesn’t reach you.”
“F— a rap battle/This a lifelong battle with yourself,” he ends the track.
After “Meet The Grahams” drops, Kendrick released “Not Like Us” where the cover art features an aerial view of Drake’s home on a predator app. On “Not Like Us,” Drizzy is accused of being a pedophile, as are members of his team.
“Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young/ You better not ever go to cell block one/ To any b—- that talk to him and they in love/ Just make sure you hide your lil’ sister from him,” Kendrick raps.
Drake’s team is not safe from this diss track either, as Chubbs (Drizzy’s head of security), and OVO artists PartyNextDoor and Baka Not Nice (who was arrested for human trafficking) also are targets with the next line.
“They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs/ And party at the party, playin’ with his nose now/ And Baka got a weird case, why is he around?/ Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,” he continues referencing Drake’s 2021 album Certified Lover Boy.
He then speaks on claims of Drake being a “deadbeat dad” as he’s hiding an 11-year-old daughter, “You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh, you lied about them other kids that’s out there hoping that you come,” Kendrick raps.
Drake Responds On “The Heart Part 6”
The last diss track between the two (as of this writing) is Drake’s response on “The Heart Part 6.” Just like Kendrick referenced Drake’s timestamp series on “6:16 in LA,” Drake did the same with Kendrick’s “Heart” series by naming this diss track after it.
On “The Heart Part 6,” Drake denounces the pedophile claims, brings up Kendrick’s family and says that Kendrick was fed false information to say he has an 11-year-old daughter, and the Compton native took the bait.
“We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information/A daughter that’s eleven years old, I bet he takes it/We thought about giving a fake name or a destination/But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation,” Drake raps.
Drake then speaks on the paternity of Kendrick’s kids alleging once again that Dave Free could be their father instead of him.
“What about the bones we dug up in that excavation?/And why isn’t Whitney denyin’ all of the allegations?/Why is she following Dave Free and not Mr. Morale?/You haven’t seen the kids in six months, the distance is wild/Dave leaving heart emojis underneath pics of the child,” Drake raps referring also the cover art of the song which features Dave commenting on a presumed photo of Alford.
Drake then dismissed the pedophilia claims.
“Speakin’ of anything with a child, let’s get to that now/This Epstein angle was the s— I expected/TikTok videos you collected and dissected/Instead of being on some diss-direct s—/You rather f—— grab your pen and misdirect s—,” he raps.
Then Drake refers to Kendrick’s “Mother I Sober” again where Kendrick talks about his sexual traumas in his childhood.
“Mother, I—, mother, I—, mother—/Ahh, wait a second, that’s that one record where you say you got molested/Aw, f— me, I just made the whole connection/This about to get so depressin’
This is trauma from your own confessions/This when your father leave you home alone with no protection, so neglected/That’s why these pedophile raps is s— you so obsessed with, it’s so excessive
They acting like it’s so aggressive,” Drake raps.
However, it is to be noted that Kendrick raps in “Mother I Sober” that he was not molested as a child.
“Family ties, they accused my cousin, ‘Did he touch you, Kendrick?’/Never lied, but no one believed me when I said ‘He didn’t,'” Kendrick raps in the Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
Drake then continues suggesting that Kendrick is physically abusive to his wife towards the end of the 6-minute track.
“Album droppin’ soon, no wonder you turn to a clout chaser ‘stead of doing hard labor/N—-, I’ll see you when I see you like Fantasia/And Whitney, you can hit me if you need a favor/And when I say I hit ya back, it’s a lot safer/Huh, I promise.”
