They are saying kinds make fights.
What we’re seeing listed below are two rappers standing on high of the sport at completely different sides of the spectrum. There’s Drake, the hitmaking machine who’s by no means backed down from a problem. Then there’s Kendrick, the extra difficult lyricist who’s managed to gather plaques with out chasing business enchantment, however somebody who hasn’t been battle-tested just like the individual he’s at the moment within the ring with. This doesn’t imply Kung Fu Kenny isn’t conversant in the “Secretz of Conflict“; he’s a scholar of the sport, in any case.
On “Taylor Made Freestyle” — the diss monitor Drake was pressured to take down — Drake goes on a rant on the finish, telling Kendrick he hopes he’s within the lab cooking up quintuple entendres. That’s simply what Kendrick did on this newest diss monitor “6:16 in LA.” For those who let the chatter on-line inform it, the title is a play on quite a few issues. One is an apparent play on Drake’s timestamp collection. One other is a nod to Ice-T’s “6 ‘N the Mornin’.” However when you get into numerology video games, you slowly begin to resemble that At all times Sunny meme with Charlie shedding it in entrance of an proof board making an attempt to tie the whole lot collectively.
Right here’s an inventory of all of the issues the music title might possibly consult with:
- – June 16 is Tupac’s birthday
- – June 16 is Canadian Father’s Day
- – June 16 was the collection premiere of Euphoria
- – June 16 was Nicole Brown’s funeral
- – 6:16 may also be utilized to numerous Bible verses (see Ephesians 6:16)
- – This tweet
- – The music contains a pattern of Al Inexperienced’s “What A Great Factor Love Is”
- – Al Inexperienced as soon as acquired scorching grits poured on him within the morning.
All that, plus Jack Antonoff (frequent collaborator of Taylor Swift, oft-mentioned by Drake all through this feud) produced the music alongside Sounwave — and the streets are even saying the quilt artwork is an image of Drake’s Maybach driving gloves.
We haven’t even gotten to the bars but. We’ve to say a line from “euphoria” first, although. Bear in mind when Kenny spit, “‘Again To Again,’ I like that report/ I’ma get again to that, for the report”? Who knew he was speaking about himself shocking everybody with one other diss monitor so quickly? The man is an acrobat, the Simone Biles of Rap.
Under, we compiled an inventory of what we thought had been the very best traces off “6:16 in LA.” This was a diabolical displaying from the King of the West. With rumors of a Whoo Child disstape on the best way, we await the King of the North’s subsequent transfer. God, I really like this recreation.

“It is time that you just go searching on who’s round you, earlier than you work that you just’re not alone/ Ask what Mike would do”
Simply gonna go away this right here.
-
“Your lil’ memes is shedding steam, they figured you out/ The pressured opinions is just not convincin’, y’all want a brand new route”
Rap followers was once higher knowledgeable. They was once curious. And pundits was once impartial no matter if they’d private preferences or not. A few of these cats are purchased and paid for, is what Kendrick is saying.
-
“A hunnid n—as that you just acquired on wage, and 20 of ’em need you as a casualty/ And one in every of them is definitely, subsequent to you/ And two of them is virtually drained to your life-style, simply do not acquired the audacity to let you know”
Drake has rapped about being paranoid.
“Who’s callin’ my identify? Who’s concerned now? Inform me who I gotta down, I’ll do a music now,” he raps on “Can’t Have Every thing,” and his mother may be heard on the finish speaking in regards to the tone of a few of his music. Then the subsequent 12 months, in 2018, when he dropped the Scary Hours EP, he kicked off “Diplomatic Immunity” by rapping, “Diplomatic immunity, f—ok ’em/All that peace and that unity/ All that weak sh—t’ll break me, f—ok ’em.” This entire time he was fearful about his fellow artists when he actually ought to’ve been fearful in regards to the individuals round him, is the message Kendrick is making an attempt to ship.

“There’s alternative when livin’ with loss/ I uncover myself after I fall quick”
This s–t will get #deep. How are you supposed to reply to introspective and trustworthy bars like this?
-
“God, my confession is yours, however who am I if I do not go to struggle?”
Oh, man, this factor is getting spooky. Who’s Kendrick, however a soldier of God? This battle has been attention-grabbing as a result of every member of the “Massive 3” appear to have a tough time going via with this. They had been all as soon as pals, however their stars have gotten too huge for all three to have the ability to stand on high of the mountain collectively. This battle was essential to reset the sport and eliminate the key animosity and dangerous blood.
-
“However let me let you know some recreation, ‘trigger I can see you my lil’ homie/ You playin’ soiled with propaganda, it blow up on ya/ You are playin’ nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots/ However your actuality cannot conceal behind Wi-Fi”
OK, let’s cease with the Web *nerd emoji* gimmicks and preserve this s–t within the sales space. Propaganda is a part of the sport, although. I suppose there are, possibly, extra honorable methods of getting the win.
-
“Cannot ‘Toosie Slide’ up out of this one, it is simply gon’ resurface/ Each canine gotta have his day, now dwell in your goal”
Think about beefing with any individual they usually say some condescending s–t like this? You would need to reevaluate your life. You’d have to actually look inward earlier than responded as a result of, rattling, is it actually you and never them? You gotta fall again and replicate proper fast.
A brand new hit isn’t gonna get you outta this pickle.
-
“However the trade’s cooked as I decide the carcass aside”
Kenny is a lion roaming his kingdom, that stretches so far as the sunshine touches, as he picks aside the trade. This man is on another s–t.
It’s finna be an extended summer season.
-
“Yeah, any individual’s lyin’, I might see the vibes on Ak’/ Even he lookin’ compromised, let’s peel the layers again”
Drake has been utilizing Akademiks as a conduit to leak information and music. Kendrick hasn’t resorted to a majority of these ways and seems like his opponent is manipulating public opinion in his favor.
-
“Conspiracies about Money, dawg? That is not even the leak/ Discover the jewels like Kash Doll, I simply want you to suppose”
Drake’s leak is working round like Carmen Sandiego? The place on the planet is that this leak coming from? Homie is like Leo in The Departed, simply sniffing round and chewing via wires.
-
“It was enjoyable till you began to place cash within the streets/ Then misplaced cash, ‘trigger they got here again with no receipts”
Keep in mind that Pusha T tweet again in 2018 about $100K being put into the road to drudge up skeletons?
Seems like Drake has been making an attempt to dig up filth on Kenny as a substitute of letting the pen do the speaking. Go away the video games alone, this factor of ours is about bars and all the time has been.
-
“Pretend bully, I hate bullies, you should be a horrible individual/ Everybody inside your crew is whispering that you just deserve it”
Drake isn’t paying his guys sufficient? We’ve seen the sort of stuff in crime dramas. Employed goons all the time go along with the very best bidder.
It’s a story as outdated as time.
-
“I am sorry that I dwell a boring life, I really like peace/However struggle prepared if the world is able to see you bleed”
What the hell is Kenny on, man? That is such a diabolical line. He’s taking this factor critically, as he ought to. There’s actual historical past being made with this battle. These are the moments rap followers obsessively discuss, or not less than that’s how issues was once. I sound like an outdated man yelling at clouds however that is historical past, you perceive?
-
“These photos bother you, know the wires in your circle ought to puzzle you/ For those who had been road sensible, then you definitely woulda caught that your entourage is simply to hustle you”
It’s virtually like Kendrick is making an attempt to speak some sense into his outdated buddy earlier than it’s too late; or possibly it already is. Solely time will inform.
-
“Are you lastly able to play Have You Ever? Let’s have a look at/ Have you ever ever thought that OVO was workin’ for me?”
This beef is the messiest in current reminiscence when it comes to the rumors and music swirling round. Leaks in your operation like The Weeknd stated on We Nonetheless Don’t Belief You. Now Drake has to stroll across the desk with a bat like Al Capone within the Untouchables. It’s time to actually get his mob boss on.
