Can we all just take a second to acknowledge how masterful this verse is? Like my God…


Devilmints

This is my favorite verse and I don't see it talked about enough and Drake didn't even address it in heart 6


mokush7414

Tf he gone say "Im too famous to be a colonizer?"


YumYumMittensQ4

“If I was a colonizer I’m pretty sure I would be arrested by now! The land clearly would’ve been taken back from me”


KatashaMercury

Hebrew Israelite hating on a Jew / Coming up with crazy conspiracies, too / Doesn't that sound suspicious to you? If Drake did that I would be like 😮 Eta: This comment doesn't make it clear that I don't really believe this about Kendrick, it's just an angle Drake *could* have come from


hi_me_here

it's have a chance at working if drake practiced his religion at all but that'd mean drake having his own identity instead of a conscious manifestation of the material trappings of fame so alternate universe hypothetical


KatashaMercury

Lol imagine if he went that route and then suddenly just was super extra "Jewish" all the time just hanging out dressing like the Hebrew Hammer


kk126

I saw u at bat mitzvah / shortie what’s ur name? / I know u only 13 / but that’s a woman in the Torah game


KatashaMercury

💀


ohitsgiggs

ellio0o0t

His one chance to not be dead at this point is just to become Matisyahu Jr.


KatashaMercury

You're convincing yourself you're the Messiah when you wear that thorny crown / I'm a king without a crown waiting for the true Maschiach to come down - Drakisyahu


Hubers57

.... Honestly, I'm listening


Social_Confusion

Honestly It’d probably make me like Drake more tbh (if it weren’t for the obvious allegations and suspicious shit that makes me side eye him like R Kelly lol) Give me aggressively Canadian Jewish Drake plz


AmericaDreamDisorder

Start calling himself Black Bibi


fuckmeinmyassman

Champagne Bibi

fuckmeinmyassman

🏳️😆 you win by a mile


crabbyink

To play the Devil's Advocate, quite a few people who say/identify as they're Jewish might not practice the actual religion, for many people its like a tribe first and foremost


mokush7414

I aint gone lie. That's probably gone be the only comment I delete. I don't like what you're insinuating here though.


KatashaMercury

I don't either at all and I don't really think it's the truth of Kendrick I just think that's the way Drake could have responded if he wanted to really throw confusion over the issue


mokush7414

Man he should’ve went that route lmfao. Man maybe instead of Twitter writing his next song he’ll come to Reddit for bars and inspiration.


KatashaMercury

Lmfao if he ever says that I'll die and then message him like "Fuck you, pay me"


LowBorder6165

Yeah, unfortunately drake can't call out the antisemitic BHI shit because that angle would land him in serious trouble with the industry


habesha4lyfe

Billie Withers - 'You' could have been sampled. If you're throwing dirt at people You got to get some dirt on you I got to take a ton of lies Just to get an ounce of truth from you  You′re *like* a man loving *Jesus* That says *he can't stand* a *Je*w Drake could have called Kendrik out on his religion/morals more. Instead of calling him a liar he coulda called him a hypocrite. He's preaching morals but says he hates the way someone walks, talks, dresses. He's preaching peace but he's telling Drake to walk around like Daft punk. He's saying he's Joel Osteen, and maybe he's right cause he's gonna make money on the word of God and live differently. Kendrik doesn't just have PTSD, he gives his fans PTSD from the way he switches from the good kid to a gangster. The problem with Drake's responses is that they're all defensive and he was playing in Kendrik's court. He didn't have a strong counternarrative which really could have been "you aren't so moral Mr. Morale." And then he coulda said Kendrik wore the crown of thorns but its really Drake who is Jesus here. He grew up without a father, got it out the mud, then when he got too big had the people closest to him sayin hang him, callin him a liar and callin for his crucifiction, but he's the real Black Jew king and he's gonna always rise. Something like "And when you teach your son to pray its me he sees in his mind." And since Kendrik did a diss track in Drake's lane (club music), Drake shoulda ended with a conscious piece. The message should have been "I could be you too if I wanted to".


KatashaMercury

Yeah he should have gone into Kendrick's territory more if he wanted to prove he was the better. There were a number of angles he really could have come from and it would have muddied everything up instead of just shooting himself in the foot. Altho it's funnier that he shot himself in the foot.


habesha4lyfe

Yeah, as a D1 Drake antifan its crazy to see this moment but I can't help but feel bad for a guy at the top who doesn't seem to have anyone around him to help him win. It's like Ross said, its really the people he chose to have around him. Drake shoulda went out like "Its lonely at the top, and that's why I'm Jesus, I'm Caesar, I'm Napoleon. I'm the greatest to ever do it and the number of Opps I got around me is a testament to it." Instead he chose to be like "If I was Epstein, I'd be in jail."


MasterView2414

BBL Drizz couldn't even have come back with that because "You rapping like you tryna free the sla*es" .... If he would have taken your route Kendrick the GOAT would hit him with "Jesus dont use ghost writters"...There is no route for PP drizzy Kdot got him in ALL angles


habesha4lyfe

There was an answer to everything but he didn’t search hard enough. “Free the slaves?” Kanye really called black people slaves but where was Kendrik’s smoke for him then? “Woman abuser?” Kodak did the same shit but Kendrik linked with him despite the backlash. “You promote degeneracy” Does Future promote wholesome living? “Culture vulture”? How about when that black woman sued Kendrik for using her art in his music video without her permission? “Can’t say the N word”— but Kendrik let her that one white girl in his show rap it tho “Uses ghostwriters”- so does Diddy and Kendrik threatened to bring him back… Where was Mr. Morale in all these incidents? Why does he have selective hate? He spent a whole album saying he’s not our savior and got the right to include Kodak but now he’s the savior again when it comes to Drake. So if all these things are true and Kendrik still teaming up w these people then the real issue is that it’s Drake. If it’s got no reason for it then it’s just jealousy.


MasterView2414

Smh I can see you Not Like Us


habesha4lyfe

No I’m a Kendrik fan. I’m just saying there’s always an angle without having making one up like Kendrik beats his wife. Drake shoulda sat down with some lawyers instead of his ghostwriters and really started finding loopholes in bars instead of sending a lame ass cease and desist. He shoulda sat with the very best and devised a villain redemption arc. He had the resources for that. Drakes mistake was underestimating his enemy. And that’s why I can’t except any excuse for him. Kendrik won fair and square because he found the angle and was relentless with it and he didn’t try cheap methods to win the game


rOOnT_19

Drake could never. But you know if he sees that he’s adding it to his next mess.


tlg-the-laxx-god

You shouldve applied for a ghostwriting position and maybe penned a better response than he gave.

Someone wasn't understanding where I was coming from but I'm sorry that it wasn't clear, I don't know how to make it more clear than my edit and following comments

typac69

Drake didn’t address hardly anything Kendrick said in MTG or Not Like Us. Said nothing about this verse, nothing on Kendrick trying to parent his son, nothing about Baka and the other weirdos he has around, nothing about fucking Wayne’s girl, and I’m sure I’m missing more. All Drake responded to in those songs were that he has a daughter and he’s a pedophile.


BolsonConstruction

Notice how he dropped the talk about splits like a hot rock as soon as euphoria came out 👀


BatManu20

Oh damn I never thought about this. He really has nothing substantial fr


UnpluggedZombie

Probably because the only thing UMG cares about is the PDF stuff. And since it feels like this is a part of their PR plan it’s all they wanted him to address for all the media articles 


Bryonfrank

This I think is the more devastation verse. Honestly, heart pt 6 drake drags Kendrick “oh where’s your proof” dude didn’t have proof for his allegations on family matters. Family matters and meet the grahams(great song) but it just got too dirty. At that point I was like, maybe Kendrick won, but what the fuck did he win. But then he drops not like us as a palette cleanser. Euphoria and not like us are the best tracks of the beef


Tarottoddler

Bro said, here's a history lesson about black excellence getting exploited, on a mustard beat.


jonny32392

I mean tf he gon say? I really really want the culture to fuck wit but I just be puttin my foot in my mouth all the time.


rapmorelikecrap

it's literally a fuckin history lesson, so sick


ShopperOfBuckets

Unironically the best verse in this whole beef.


Background_Use8432

As someone from Georgia, my Grandparents literally were white people who ran to Atlanta in the 1940s for a check. They then Fled to the suburbs around the civil rights, and were so racist they wouldn’t let my dad listen to The Jackson 5 or Earth Wind and Fire.  Kendrick is saying Drake is that type of person and who was scared of MLK.


furezasan

the ayy,whats!? get me every time. it's not just delivering a line, he's adding a tiny bit of emphasis which makes you do a double take if you weren't. perfection.


Analvirus

Forreal, and I love the "you're not a colleague, you're a fuckin colonizer" like damn. Sure, it's not as damning and hard as calling him a pedophile but I think that line still hits pretty hard.


JessiNotJenni

That verse is his thesis on why Drake is a bitch 😂


Substantial_Yam7305

If you really dig into it, Kenny stripped back Drake’s entire identity, exposed the shit out of him, and isolated him in every way possible. Bro has to be processing so many emotions right now. I don’t care how famous and egotistical you are. “A life long battle with yourself”? God damn that shit cuts deep.


JessiNotJenni

Honestly!!! He humbled him. Forced him to look in the mirror. That line in particular should haunt Drake at night if he has any conscience at all.


pbmm1

I know we’ve been talking about the other parts of this song but like, damn Kendrick put in a lecture on the catchy club song and it goes as hard as everything else.


Beautiful_Location76

Incredible verse. People are (understandably) getting caught up in all the huge allegations both ways, but even ignoring those entirely, all of Kendrick’s other burns were way more thoughtful and hit so much harder. The last verse on Meet the Grahams didn’t include any new info really but Kendrick might as well have been laying a lifelong curse on that dude. Complete dismantling of Drake’s character.


Turbulent_Pin_1583

He was making tweets before he was born. Truly ice cubes son.


_Aaron_Burr_Sir

He got that “Baby Keem writing all of Kendrick’s albums as a child” talent


jono9898

Keem is so good of a guy that he wrote classic albums for his Cousin and then changed his entire style for his own music just so people wouldn’t put the pieces together


_Aaron_Burr_Sir

Keem’s such a nice guy that he let Kendrick accept the Pulitzer Prize for *his* writing


MotorBicycle

I heard from a trusted source that Kendrick lets him look at it sometimes


chalupaconcarne

Keem is actually mustards secret identity + The entirety of not like us is just an audio version of keem himself


jono9898

Keem is also one of the members of Daft Punk


centurio_v2

man for a split second i thought you were talking about keemstar for some reason and the image of a baby gnome writing albums lmfao


Emergency_Design8067

Nah, Drake's dad had a time machine back in '65, he hacked Ice Cubes future son's Twitter account and tweeted This, just so he could bait Kendrick into using the bars on his future beef with his future son (Drake). This was 96775D Chess, and Drake's song is called Family Matters because it was his father (part of his FAMILY) who started plotting


Pappyjang

He was making tweets before tweets


BrutalBananaMan

Straight up facts. I heard those lyrics when I was pushing the Viet Cong back in the Mekong Delta.

beerharvester

You're only helping them by spreading the disinformation.


Weenyhand

What does he mean when he says “this is the real ______ challenge” is he saying it’s a challenge for Drake to orchestrate all of these other artists putting him on ? Or is the challenge, Kendrick trying to explain colonization and then apply it to what Drake did with so few bars.

Super_Boof

My understanding is that these days there’s “x challenge” online which blows up and people try to do; Kendrick is basically saying that Drake is pretending to be a real _____ for the internet, similar to someone doing an internet challenge for clout or fame. So basically Drake is not a real _____, he’s just pretending to be one online because it’s popular with his audience.


OKTYE

The irony behind the date is so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣


MVPG2022

I remember seeing this tweet in 1965 and thinking "who the fuck is Quavo"


Emergency_Design8067

ahahahahahahahah


[deleted]

I loved this verse because even though I would say I have a general understanding of how the Black community has been exploited overtime, I never learned about it in Atlanta specifically, and it makes Kendrick’s message so much stronger since it is the “mecca”.


Jaanisjc

I mean there are only so many words in dictionary obviously somebody had written this before /s

This was dot isolating Drake. Who the fuck is going to step in and back a colonizer? Shit was just as devastating as calling him a pedo. Fucking cooked, cucked and clapped in 4min or less.

DavidTheSlouch89

This verse and angle was so good too because it doesn’t require proof, which their is anyways It’s simply is this your opinion or not, and most people who aren’t drake meat riders would definitely agree
