They are saying types make fights.
What we’re seeing listed here are two rappers standing on prime of the sport at totally 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 industrial attraction, however somebody who hasn’t been battle-tested just like the particular person he’s at the moment within the ring with. This doesn’t imply Kung Fu Kenny isn’t aware of the “Secretz of Warfare“; he’s a scholar of the sport, in spite of everything.
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.” When you 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 sequence. 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 dropping it in entrance of an proof board attempting to tie all the things collectively.
Right here’s a listing of all of the issues the tune title might perhaps check with:
- – June 16 is Tupac’s birthday
- – June 16 is Canadian Father’s Day
- – June 16 was the sequence premiere of Euphoria
- – June 16 was Nicole Brown’s funeral
- – 6:16 may also be utilized to varied Bible verses (see Ephesians 6:16)
- – This tweet
- – The tune contains a pattern of Al Inexperienced’s “What A Fantastic 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 tune alongside Sounwave — and the streets are even saying the duvet artwork is an image of Drake’s Maybach driving gloves.
We haven’t even gotten to the bars but. Now we have to say a line from “euphoria” first, although. Keep 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.
Beneath, we compiled a listing of what we thought have been the very best strains off “6:16 in LA.” This was a diabolical exhibiting from the King of the West. With rumors of a Whoo Child disstape on the way in which, we await the King of the North’s subsequent transfer. God, I really like this recreation.

“It is time that you simply go searching on who’s round you, earlier than you work that you simply’re not alone/ Ask what Mike would do”
Simply gonna go away this right here.

“Your lil’ memes is dropping steam, they figured you out/ The pressured opinions shouldn’t be convincin’, y’all want a brand new route”
Rap followers was higher knowledgeable. They was curious. And pundits was 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 simply acquired on wage, and 20 of ’em need you as a casualty/ And considered one 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 title? Who’s concerned now? Inform me who I gotta down, I’ll do a tune now,” he raps on “Can’t Have All the pieces,” and his mother could be heard on the finish speaking concerning the tone of a few of his music. Then the subsequent yr, 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 destroy me, f—ok ’em.” This entire time he was frightened about his fellow artists when he actually ought to’ve been frightened concerning the individuals round him, is the message Kendrick is attempting to ship.

“There’s alternative when livin’ with loss/ I uncover myself after I fall brief”
This s–t will get #deep. How are you supposed to answer introspective and sincere 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 fascinating as a result of every member of the “Massive 3” appear to have a tough time going by means of with this. They have been all as soon as buddies, however their stars have gotten too large for all three to have the ability to stand on prime of the mountain collectively. This battle was essential to reset the sport and do away with 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 maintain this s–t within the sales space. Propaganda is a part of the sport, although. I suppose there are, perhaps, 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 objective”
Think about beefing with any person and so they say some condescending s–t like this? You would need to reevaluate your life. You’d have to essentially look inward earlier than responded as a result of, rattling, is it actually you and never them? You gotta fall again and mirror proper fast.
A brand new hit isn’t gonna get you outta this pickle.
-
“However the business’s cooked as I choose the carcass aside”
Kenny is a lion roaming his kingdom, that stretches so far as the sunshine touches, as he picks aside the business. This man is on another s–t.
It’s finna be a protracted summer season.
-
“Yeah, any person’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 these kind of ways and appears 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 operating round like Carmen Sandiego? The place on this planet is that this leak coming from? Homie is like Leo in The Departed, simply sniffing round and chewing by means of 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 attempting to dig up grime 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 have to be a horrible particular person/ Everybody inside your group is whispering that you simply deserve it”
Drake isn’t paying his guys sufficient? We’ve seen any such stuff in crime dramas. Employed goons all the time go together with the very best bidder.
It’s a story as previous 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 severely, as he ought to. There’s actual historical past being made with this battle. These are the moments rap followers obsessively speak about, or no less than that’s how issues was. I sound like an previous man yelling at clouds however that is historical past, you perceive?
-
“These pictures bother you, know the wires in your circle ought to puzzle you/ When you have been road good, you then woulda caught that your entourage is simply to hustle you”
It’s nearly like Kendrick is attempting to speak some sense into his previous pal earlier than it’s too late; or perhaps 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 mentioned 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 essentially get his mob boss on.
