Drake Vs Kendrick: The Whole Story

0:00 Kendrick Lamar and Drake are two of the biggest rap artists in the world both of their individual successes Tower over so many other artists combined holding impressive cataloges of Music in their own regard but what would happen if the two of them decided to end each other's career we Inc go my bab well to know about that we need to go to the beginning Aubrey Graham was born October 24th W not that that far no the year is 2012 and after the success and arguably Drake's greatest album Take Care Drake goes on his Club Paradise tour and decides to bring along a little-known rapper featured on his buried alive interl track Kendrick Lamar this my brother ASAP Rocky this is my brother

0:46 Kendrick Lamar now in 2012 Kendrick is still a pretty unknown artist only having released one mixtape and one album so Drake bringing up this upand cominging artist was a huge deal but all the that would change on October 22nd of that year when Kendrick Lamar would release this y y y y good kid Mad City a 12T tracked Masterpiece telling a story of Kendrick Lamar's upbringing in Compton and the different struggles he had to go through around that time let's fast forward to 2013 where Kendrick is no longer an underground artist being awarded MTV's 2013 hottest MC and best male hip-hop artist with good kidmad City being considered the greatest album of all time Drake and Kendrick's relationship

1:32 was still pretty strong with both artists celebrating each other's wins but in August 14 2013 Kendrick would release a song with big sha titled [Music] control this song became so massive and became Kendrick's verse pushing Kendrick's career further than ever into the Starlight for attacking industry Idols such as big sea jcole and of course Drake and even even though in this song he has verses like he also has bars like murans never heard of you saying that Kendrick was coming for the crown and there was nothing that was going to get in his way nobody seemed to have an issue about the song either they knew this is what the rap game needed right

2:17 now except one person Drake nobody yelled out Kendrick Kendrick Lamar are you listening to it now it was one of those things like I almost wish when I'm worried about respect if it's really [ __ ] everybody then it needs to be [ __ ] everybody let's take a break from this and fast forward October 6 2023 now at this point both artists are extremely successful while both artists would have their instances of beef both artists were more focused on their individual successes with Kendrick having a grand total of five Studio albums covering topics such as the struggle of Duality and Awakening wickedness or weakness and being a damaged person we also had Drake with 10 Studio albums under his belt focused more on trying different styles of music rather than trying to send a single message to the world so how did all this

3:04 beef start for that we need to focus on Drake's most recent album for all the dogs collaborating with people such as ye Bad Bunny and of course J Cole on track six first person shooter where we would get our first reference back to Kendrick with [Music] lines jao's saying how in the rap game you have three best of the best and in his case it's jcole Drake and Kendrick jcole saying that him and Kendrick were the best was nothing out of the ordinary so what happened for that let's fast forward to March 22nd 2024 where Metro boomman and future would drop their highly anticipated album we don't trust you a 17 track collaborative album with Metro boomman providing the beats and so

3:50 many rappers providing their voice such as the weekend Playboy cardi and the one that stood out from the rest Kendrick Lamar Kendrick had a lot to say in this song throwing shots at both jco and Drake with bars like first and mother it's just me and that's with allet referencing back to firstperson Shooter where jcole would call them the big three but Kendrick shoots back explaining there's only one above the rap game and it's him as well Kendrick throws disses to Drake's album and Persona now this sparked a fire in the the RAP Community with people asking why is everyone all of a sudden having a vendetta against Drake let's move away

4:35 from this and fast forward to 2 weeks from that point to April 5th with the release of J's mixtape might delete later this mixtape seems normal until you reach track 12 7 minute drill where jako would respond to Kendrick's this saying last was tragic your second asleep but they gas it your third was massive and that was jqu claiming that Kendrick's discography is all over the place saying that this record was gassed up and this record was not at the level it should be now a lot of people were not a huge fan of this record but we would soon find out why I'm so proud of that project except for one part bro I know I don't really feel no way but the world want to see blood I feel spiritually feel bad on me like

5:23 dreamville y'all love Kendrick Lamar correct as do I jco would soon delete the record off the face of the Earth and explains how he has nothing but love for his brothers and drops out of the fight now let's put our Focus back to Drake what did Drake do for that we need to fast forward to April 13th where Twitter would go crazy over this leak song by Drake titled push-ups Drake is responding round two you better go in on this track that's all I know you going every second of that the main theme of this record being high jokes as Drake starts saying to [Music] Kendrick and as Drake put the album cover to this record as Kendrick's Sho size he's also making fun of Kendrick for following his label's orders to release music with

6:09 Kendrick having to give them 50% of all the earnings for you better and people fell in love with this record claiming that whatever Kendrick was cooking up had to be levels above the energy Drake put into this one and while most would have thought that Drake would have just waited after a lack of response from Kendrick trick would release a secret track titled tailor made freestyle only 6 days later on April 19th up to this point the records have been aimed to multiple people but tayor made freestyle was aimed directly at Kendrick with the name of the record Being a direct disc again on how he's in the mercy of his label and forced to make music for people like Taylor Swift with Dr having an AI replica of both dr's biggest role models and biggest legends from the West Coast Tupac and

6:54 Snoop Dog trying to get into his head by having Tupac and Snoop send motivational messages to K Kendrick we need the West Coast Sai this Canadian light we need to know the baby West Coast Victory man call him a for me saying as Tupac he would have handled it way better than Kendrick is up to this point these records would hold their ground for a decent amount of time for a lot of people favoring Drake for the distance he threw now let's go just 2 days later to April 21st when everything would change do I got you whoops this is irrelevant no let's move along to April 30th when we would finally get Kendrick's response to to everything with a almost 7-minute diss track cut up into three parts titled Euphoria here Kendrick plays the role of a therapist and dissects all of Drake personas with his radio friendly pop songs and how

7:40 he's a huge liar with the beginning line everything they say PO is true you're not a rap artist you're a scam artist with a hes of being accepted explaining that Drake doesn't deserve to be in the rap culture as he's more of an actor than anything since Kendrick makes music to inspire and to innovate Drake makes music for hits not being a good inuence to his child and the people who look up to him by saying IAT and habitual liar too but don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truths about you and on how his raps are the only thing he's got for himself and neglects all other aspects in his life [ __ ] I got a but I see you we also hear on how Kendrick is

8:26 bothered on how Drake loves to keep this look on how he came up from tough upbringing when Kendrick actually lived through that life and on how he's infatuated with rapping hard instead of singing his radio hits by saying how many more black features till you finally feel that you're black enough I like Drake with the Melodies I like Drake when he act tough and then Kendrick flat out explains the reason why he doesn't like Drake I hate the way that you walk the way that you I hate the way that you dress I hate the way that you sneak now both artists have dropped their disses with them having their own jaw-dropping bars and gave fans an opportunity to dissect both records bar for bar to see who lyrically came up on top that was until 3 days later on May 3rd Kendrick would dropped 616 in

9:12 LA with this title having a lot of meaning with it being a direct reference to Drake's series of Music Tupac's birthday Father's Day in Canada and an indirect Bible verse from The Book of Proverbs that speaks on hate the song begins by having Kendrick saying I think somebody ly a direct reference to Drake's song survival where he talks on having a near-death experience from being in the streets with Kendrick mocking the name of the song for this fake persona that Drake has been building throughout the song Kendrick speaks on having a beautiful life with money morals and culture while Drake is always fishing for that check to come in and always wanting more and more money by saying only God could teleport this type of Freedom Ang just watching me hard a time put my children asleep with a

9:58 prayer then close my of and more importantly Kendrick points out that he has insights in OVO and what really goes on in there by saying have you ever that o is working for me must be a terrible person everyone inside your team is Whispering that you deserve it if you a street smart that you would a c that your entourage is only tole you as emphasizing that Drake has a moles in OVO that would rather see him dead than to see him succeed and are feeding Kendrick all this information 616 in La was reling at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard time that day but in the following hours dra's ready to end it by releasing Family Matters around 8:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time alongside a 7-minute music video where Drake is seen crushing the van on the cover of Kendrick's album good kid Matt

10:43 City Family Matters is cut up into three sections and sees Drake getting more aggressive as the beat seems to switch the record Begins by having Drake do exactly what Kendrick said no one wanted to hear anymore we don't want to hear you say no more said it I know that mad and is a direct equal to a song push-ups as it begins where the song ended what five you smoking on kendri Family Matters is really focused on Kendrick's romantic life claiming on how Kendrick is a wnab be same for all his people but is yet married to Whitney a mixed Woman by saying Mah with your self-esteem I want to know what Whitney need all that puppy love was over in y late who was wus attacked

11:30 in the song claiming that she has been abused by Kendrick and has been sleeping with Dave free Kendrick's longtime friend and co-founder of PG Lang by writing now Drake thought that this would be the end of Kendrick as fans begin to praise the song as it came out with bar after bar and it was the end for about 30 minutes where around 900 p.m. Pacific Standard Time Kendrick without warning dropped meet the grams a 6 and 1/2 minute song with it being written in the form of a letter with each verse being addressed to a different member of Drake's family warning them and telling them how horrible of a person Drake really is but first let's focus on this album cover which is a zoomed out full screen image of what was shown in 616 and LA's

12:16 mayback glove showing us his belongings such as receipts and medical prescriptions the song is cut up into five sections speaking of five different people first Drake's son Adonis who Drake got exposed of having back with his beef with push of tea in it Kendrick is apologizing to Adonis for having such a horrible man as a father and how he doesn't have to follow into his footsteps by saying dear Adonis I'm sorry that that man is your father let me behind Hest I'm sorry that you got to grow up and then stand behind let me be your Mentor since your daddy don't teach you next is to Drake's parents both sandre and Dennis who Drake speaks on frequently in their song sandre Rose and Dennis being on the cover of Drake's 2017 album more life where Kendrick has been both sat to have a conversation on how they're to blame for Drake being the way that he is in lines you raised a horrible person the nerve of you denn s

13:03 just sit down what I'm about to say is heavy now listen your son's a sick man with sicks like telling them both what's really going on inside of oo offend on that he keep on a monthly allowance and we got to raise our daughters knowing his Predators like him lurking after we have Kendrick speaking the Drake's hidden 11-year-old daughter apologizing her for Drake being an absentee father and only focuses on his music and women by saying baby girl I'm sorry that your father not active inside your world he don't commit to much but it's music yeah that's for sure yes he's a hit maker songwriter Superstar right and aing dead beat that should never say more life finally Kendrick addresses Drake directly but not dissing him but more putting him in the position of help saying that he can do better and Shining

13:50 Light on some issues with lines like you got gaming problems drinking problems pill popping and spending problems bad with money horor house soliciting women problems therap is a lovely start and then flat out tells Drake everything he's been lying about showing that this beef has nothing to do with Drake the rapper but more of Drake the person with bars take that mask off I want to see what's under them achievements you lied about your son you lied about your daughter huh you li about them other kids that's out there hoping that you come battle a long life battle with yourself with Kendrick now having four diss tracks and Drake having three you were able to make a fair comparison between both artists with Drake hitting more of the punch you won liners and Kendrick going for the more lyrical embodiment until the following day when Kendrick would surprise drop not like us

14:36 a West Coast inspired song with the cover having 12 sex offender pins over Duck's Mansion the song would take a slight turn from the previous songs released by Kendrick here the record takes a more upbeat approach with the shots being less understandable to the public eye having it being more focused on being a love letter to Compton hints the name not like us and continues with a series of accusations and metaphors that pink Drake is weak untrustworthy and pedophile by having lines like Predator accusations are not like us don't only stop at Drake as Kendrick continues to accuse everyone inside of Kendrick questions Drake's authenticity

15:22 inside of his RS name dropping other artists saying that Drake got his name through them when he came the certified St for a lot of people as it was able to keep a catchy flow while still being able to hold itself strong as a diss track so what did Drake do after being attacked so violently for that let's jump to the very next day on May 5th when Drake will drop the Heart part six a clear reference to Kendrick's the heart series that would tease his albums to come with the song cover being a common lift by Dave free who Drake again has wrapped on before and WS again here by saying why is and Whitney denying all of the allegations why is she following dayree and I miss the morale you haven't seen the kids in 6 months the distance

16:09 is Drake telling Kendrick that the information that was giv to him was something that Drake and his team came up with to purposely feed to him by rapping we ploted for a week and then we fed you the information a daughter that's 11 years old I bet he takes it we thought about giv a fake name or a destination but you so thirsty you not concerned with investigation saying that the daughter that that Kendrick wrote to in Meet the grams was something that was made up and given to Kendrick to see if he runs with it as well goes over the album cover from Meet the grams saying even a picture you use the jokes and the medication the May glove and the drug he uses for Less inflation master manipulator you bit on a speculation Dr clear up his name through the lyrics by going through each point that Kendrick wrote about mainly about him being with underage girls and goes on his rap saying this just for clarity I feel disgusted I'm too respected if I Wasing

16:56 young girls I promise I'd have been arrested I'm way too famous for the you just suggested but that's not the lesson clearly there's a deeper message and only with Whitney not Milly Bobby Browns teenag people found this one of the weaker disses as it seems more of a plead case than an actual discs to Kendrick with some sub lines on him raising the White Flag saying that he doesn't want to dis Drake anymore I'm not going to lie this was some some good exercise like it's good to get out get the penw worker you wouldn't be a worthy competitor if I was really a predator and you weren't [ __ ] lying to every blogger and editor but now we're at the point where every diss track is out that's nine tracks spanning from March 22nd to May 5th 2024 but how did Kendrick decide to respond to Drake's most recent disc for that let's move along to June

17:45 [Music] 19th it's been quiet in the Drake last Kendrick run since the hard part 6 but Kendrick would not drop another track on June 19th but a pop out event called Kenan friends in La not only to perform but to bring together the the culture of La alt together in one place showing how strong La culture is not only for hip-hop but as a city here Kendrick's immens his place as the King of the West Coast and brings together some of the biggest west coast rappers into one place with people like mustard Dr Dre Steve Lacy Tyler the Creator as well members of the black hippie healing and unity were the main objectives here at the pop out overshadowing any dises but Drake's role as a common adversary helped to achieve that Unity singing each song from his side of the dises to singing not like us five times during the pop out this left everyone feeling like the disc had been settled with

18:31 Drake no longer saying anything and that's how it would stay until the 4th of July when Kendrick would release a music video to one of the biggest hits from the dises not like us which Begins by showing us a snippet of an unreleased track speaking on how Drake appeared to have killed Kendrick but here he is [Music] reincarnated reincarnated how stargazing life goes on honey my baby we also see Compton city hall which we know Kendrick is from the music video is filled with hom to the city and is a love letter to his people and culture showing that it would never die having La Legends show up in the music video like Tommy the Clown Demar de rozan mustard and so many others the music video also doesn't fail to send Jabs at Drake as it's filled with hidden meaning and messages towards him for example we have Kendrick and Drake's look from his mixtape dark Lan

19:16 demo tapes full speed towards him before being pulled away from his Aura Kendrick dancing over a game of hot Scot this hand movement which is a call back to Drake that does this on alive with a young girl Kendrick hitting a Pata of the OVO owl and him walking up the owl at the end we also get dayree in this music video with Kendrick which has been a main issue throughout the distes but has been cleared up now then cut to seeing Kendrick's family with Whitney and his two children clearing the claim that Drake was throwing onto her as she's seen here dancing with him and their children and then showing the city dancing and singing along to the song showing that the city is United as one but this this is where the story ends Kendrick got to show a sight of Drake that needed to be seen and sheds more light on this culture and Drake got to exercise and get that pen workk in each person got to show more of themselves through these RS and let fans

20:01 decide who won this beef but who knows this could only just be the beginning shut your ass up and [Music] make Metro shut your whole ass up and make some drums
