Benjamin, Jackson, and Joe scheme hitting a little different now. Drake literally housing rats according to Kendrick. Plus I had to check the Bible after seeing 6:16 and it fits what Kendrick is saying. (Proverbs, Corinthians, and even Jeremiah could be applied. Not sure if it’s reaching, but they all fit.) Seeing people say the Glove cover is in reference to OJ (“…these images trouble you”) 👀

That line about war ready if the worlds ready to see him bleed, especially now after so much has come to light is crazy. Kendrick has been war ready to make Drake bleed for 10 years now. The world just wasn't ready for it yet
@@MasterIceyyit was perfect timing, it wouldn’t have been possible to do this at any other point in time. Things have been slowly been getting exposed recently - the Diddy raids, etc.
@@Sitting_on_a_perch True, it's even crazier when you look into how this might have been set up. ASAP Rocky, Future and Metro had a concert where they played the first half of "Like That" to the crowd but didn't show the Kendrick verse, meaning they knew the shit it would cause. Drake fr might have been baited from day 1
Al Greene posted the original sampled song on his Twitter this morning! Which means that he cleared the sample. Chess move. Drake used Tupac's AI and the estate stripped it because of the Disprespect, while Kdot Honors the legends and gets their support. This plays into Kdot's narrative that Drake is a Vulture while Kdot is of the Culture.
Does it matter? I am from Tupac era and the rap doesn't even sound anything close to his style... they put NO effort into trying to duplicate his flow AT ALL which is pathetic and the offensive part .. i mean the guy is a cultural legend and Drake didnt show him ANY respect @gprada
Maybe so but he slipped up and was used as a bulletproof vest and caught a few bullets. Let’s hope he sits back and learn to use his intuition next so he don’t have to back down on his words. But God always allow us redemption.
This is not a diss track, It’s a father son talk where Kendrick schools Drake on how to be a good man, good father, and good rapper. It’s so devastating 🔥
1 It was 06:16 AM when he dropped. 2 6/16 ~ Pacs birthday 3 6/16 is canada’s father’s day 4 The record was co produced by Taylor Swifts producer, so it’s basically Taylor Made… 5 Euphoria (the show Drake produced), was released to HBO on 6/16 Kendrick is a mastermind
"Remember when pick up a pen, lyrics that I can trust"... I don't hear anyone talking about that. How important it is to write your own lyrics. Standing on business.
The yacht bar (which I discovered later) was so fire. In my mind, it was a shot at Lil Yachty, all while he mentioned brands of yachts he could purchase or ride on (sight seeker = tourist boat, Defender = yacht brand. Which breaks down to Drake being a tourist in rap while K-Dot is a defender of rap.
A lot of people don’t understand that Kendrick’s psychological battles have made him a warrior in the mind. So many people today are drowning out reality with social media and whatever they can get their hands on to quickly fix and temporarily block out reality. People like Kendrick Lamar live in the mind where the warzone truely is. I think JCole knew this and he opted out quickly knowing Kendrick was on something different.
"Offwhite sunseeker at the marina" was direct at Drake. Off-white (Drake's complexion) sunseeker (vacations/paternity tests for Adonis) at the marina (Yachty writes and dresses you). Ties in to the next line, "Fuck a phantom" (Ghost writers) "I like to buy yachts when I get the fever" :)
"the last time i shot me a drac, my homie told me to aim it this way. i didn't point down enough, today i'll show you i learned from those mistakes" good god this man. like lining red tape thru his thought process
This is so dark. That ending. What would Mike do? Scream? Start with the man in the mirror? Or die surrounded by people who didn’t love him properly, neglected, betrayed, paranoid, hurting and alone? Fuck. This was a warning vs a diss.
“You are not alone" is a song by MJ written by R. Kelly to a 17-year-old he slept with, who had a miscarriage, as revealed in the surviving R. Kelly documentary. If he's going where I think he's going, he might be able to tie all these references into a killer disstrack.
The Mike bar is also haunting because allegedly he killed by his doctor who essentially overdosed Mike. So for Kdot to insinuate that those around him may be the scariest foes is more poignant. As his closest to him could undo him same fate as Mike.
Drake said Kendrick needed a “quadruple entendre” 6:16 is Pac’s birthday, father’s day, OJ simpson trail, “house dived against itself cannot stand” speech, and day Euphoria by Drake premiered. that’s a quintuple entendre in the title alone.. KENDRICK IS THE GOAT🔥🔥
That’s 3 leak references I’ve heard since this whole thing started. Abel said on Future/Metro album that Drake’s camp got leaks. Then in Euphoria Kendrick said that things he knows about some people going to make Gunna look like a saint. Now in this one he’s laying out how people from Drake’s camp giving out information
Kendrick talked about Benjamin ($100) and a Jackson ($20) in euphoria and in 6:16 he talks about 100 people on a salary and 20 of them want drake dead. 😵
I love the way K prayed to clear his heart b4 airing out his entire circle. Thats that boogieman 💩that is cold af, scary hours turn into an eternal nightmare, when your circle crumbles and you cant trust the next knock on your door... 😮D.A.M.N.

True. And before the Michael bar he says “know you can’t sleep, these images trouble you” and then called back to that in his last statement. As many know, Micheal Jackson died by overdose from sleeping medication. Micheal was so paranoid about the people in his circle, the industry, and even outsiders to the point where he couldn’t sleep. Comparing that to Drake and his inner circle since Drake claims to be the Michael Jackson of our generation. And also people know his popular song “you are not alone”.
Your breakdowns are just next level bro. Literally put a different dynamic on actually listening to the song again... and again... and again... Keep going brother. You're an inspiration with your dedication to an art form.
I didn't realise it until you brought the line up again, but this whole song is split into 3 parts: money (the beginning part where he talks about the things he can buy and the type of life he lives), power (the metaphysical and religion bars) and then respect (where he breaks down Drake's circle and the reasons why people want to be in it). Crazy.
3 is a symbolic number for Trinity. Father - Drake is not a father Son- Talking to him like a son, Adonis Holy Spirit - Lots of symbolism. Could be spirit of true hip hop, etc. Elohim is the word for God. It's a proper noun and a plural. It's first used in Gen. 1:1, in the beginning , Elohim created the heavens and earth. Remember the big 3, it's not the big 3 and big Me.
You break everything down so thoroughly, I truly believe that if Kendrick or any artist saw the time you took to explain their message and concepts behind their bars they would appreciate the hell out of it, because so much flies over peoples heads now a days and it’s a shame. Give credit where it’s due and you d exactly that. Much love to what you do man 🔥
Raphael has double-meaning as he was not only a popular artist renown for being one of the greatest but also a healer because Raphael is the Angel of healing & true art heals. AKA - healing the rap game from the damage done by Drake.
I’m convinced Kdot is calling Drake’s bluff. That “red button” talk was just a distraction while his people tried finding information on Kendrick but came back empty. The issue with having “yes” men is that they eventually grow a backbone and start talking. Now they’re spilling secrets of their own. We’ve seen this happen time and time again, it’s always better to stay away from the noise and keep a small, genuine circle.
Yup. Drake knows how kendrick is, drop some heat and go away for a minute then drop an album. That's why drake alleged kendrick was dropping an album after Like That but didn't once swift dropped so he wasn't expecting kendrick to drop so soon and now he's looking dumb af. No reply on a record you said you already had? Drake can't stop lying
@@olearyeugene How is Drake looking dumb? He literally said "now we have to wait for a week cause Taylor Swift is about to drop". The perception built around Kendrick is just ridiculous.
3:40 This line is specifically about AK aka Akademiks repeatedly saying “I’ve been hearing Drakes got some fire coming 🔥” - “I think somebody lying, I don’t see no fire” Which later plays into the theme later on where he calls out Ak & the OVO camp, Drake essentially put money into the streets to buy info about Kendrick that he could use, but Kendrick’s aware of this cause of the moles in Drakes Camp so he knows Drake hasn’t got no 🔥 cause the material he was looking for isn’t even there cause all the money he put in the streets came back with ‘no receipts’ & so he’s taking the piss & flexing that his own Camp is with him & they don’t even rate Drake themselves
This is why I like Kendrick man, like you say, who comes at a diss track like this? People expect disses to be purely "I F'd your bitch" etc. like hit em up. Kendrick's came with an entire concept while dropping layers of napalm, it's wild.
@@Chinzahau I know he was but hit em up wasn't really layered it was kinda in your face with the I hate biggie and co. stuff. I only use it as comparison to this since it's hailed as the greatest diss track ever.
@@Chinzahau Pac's best ability was his story telling, especially when it came to his conscious stuff, Big E had the smoothest flows, and rapped like it was almost natural, lyricism wasn't really at the forefront of rap back then as it was still so heavily linked to the gangster lifestyle. Nas was probably the first great lyricist
It's so impressive how Kendrick has gone so hard on both tracks, how Drake asked for quintuples, Kendrick brought them but still just sounds like he's having fun with this and holding something back. He really is ready for war. And as always, a great breakdown by Knox, catches so much first listen
Ur the delusional ones u along with your fellow drake stans and if your not a stan u just done understand or comprehend real rap and bars shit that makes u think but ig thats asking too much from a person like you@MrTrueCaller619
I think you should do a comment reaction on some your fans interpretation on these two diss tracks and certain bars. It would be a nice way to interact with this growing community you have
@@TehGlitchGuideye Kendrick and Cole actually friends Kendrick fucks with Jcole and vice versa but he lost his rap legacy i will still listen to Jcole music cuz that man can cook but no one can ever say Jcole is cooking anyone on a diss track and be taken seriously
@musanguchungu3436 hopefully taking it back from "vibe" artists and bringing it back to lyrical ability. So exhausted of most of the game being insane production but weak ass bars or meaningless songs
Kendrick woke up this morning and chose violence. *There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:* haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers." -Proverbs 6: 16
He woke up chose to pray for his soul before murdering him. Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it. ' JEREMIAH 6:16
Haven't seen anyone post this theory yet: 6:16 could be a reference to Abraham Lincoln's "House Divided Speech" on June 16, 1858. Sounds like the OVO camp is currently a house divided.
No one realizing Kendrick is acting right now. Hence the “Cut” and why his voice is mimicking drake. He’s acting like drake at the start, using his cadence and delivery
Because he is a rapper himself when you rap and write your rhymes you are able to to see different meanings of what rappers are saying there’s also a lot reading and research too
There are even subliminal tracks under the music. People speaking ; a recording it seems. You have to listen to the instrumental to hear them, though. Best song of the whole battle to me.
These breakdowns of Kendrick’s releases have given me such a HUGE respect for how much you know not only lyrically but musically as well. The absolute respect and appreciation for the art rather than just reacting for the spectacle have forced me to sub 😂 much love for you and what you do Knox ❤
Kendrick is literally the GOAT of the current Big 3. Dude is intentionally helping his enemy to produce better diss and the breakdown of bars from Knox really helps us understand deeper. This diss is literally a cherry on top ❤
@@randomdudeWithoutAniPhone I don't go by the masses. You'll think they all right but stick you head long enough high you'd see a different result. The moment I understood the tools of rapping and what makes a rapper by old standards(in the 2015 and back) , Kendrick and Cole now are much far ahead of drake.
@@colethacharles8061if Kendrick drops album it won’t be none bout Drake 4sure, he takes time for his Albums and make sure that it will last forever he will not mention someone bcs he beefing with him at moment bcs next year it will sound stupid, if he drop Album he will drop finished project with whole story
Kendrick was born in 1987 Haileys comet appeared in 1986 Hailey's circadian rhythm is every 75years (has some margin of error) when it "wakes up" (appears to Earth again) I wonder if that's the reference he was going for
• Kendrick Lamar drops the song at exactly 6:16am • 16th of June 2024 is father's day in Canada • 16th of June 1972 Tupac Shakur was born • 16th of June 1994 OJ Simpsons murder trial officially started in LA • 16th of June was when the first episode of euphoria aired
• 6/16 - Tupac’s birthday • 6/16 - Start of the OJ trial • 6/16 - Nicole Simpson funeral • 6/16 - Father’s Day • 6/16 - Release date of TV show Euphoria • 6/16 - Date of a 2011 Kendrick show in Toronto • 6:16 - multiple bible references? • referring to Drake’s “time stamp” records 6:16 drake being the 6 god hanging out with 16 year olds Summer 16 (with the cover art being a 6) is a drake song
Listen man, I watch alot of reaction videos. This is the first one that I’ve come across that REALLY gets it. Finally found my home for song lyric reactions
I heard that the gloves are a pic of drakes personal gloves which show that kendrick isnt lying that someone in drakes personal group is a leaker and working for kendrick which just gives drake more paranoia.
I was looking at other reactions and I had to come and find your page! You do a much more thorough job with the breakdowns, and you don't stop the record every few bars like others. Thank you for your hard work and thank you for telling us you love us! We love you also!
What a masterpiece! This guy is a literary genius. A true legend who knows how to spin words to portray a poignant message. He uses all the literary techniques of similes, metaphors, personification, satire etc.This goes beyond HipHop. This is an excellent piece by a seasoned veteran. Go figure!
This is a wrap. No way can Drake and his writers ever compete with Kendrick's brains, heart, and spirit. Kendrick is in his own universe and nobody can touch him.
@@Rangelong wait nah, i appreciate it and Kendrick is a goat, just wish people set bias aside in situations like these .. kendrick dropped 2 completely solo directed songs at drake (w/ no new info) that had great wordplay and shit, but drake hasnt dropped any direct solo tracks on kendrick (taylor made an obvious troll) so lets say drake is finished after he drops his first real one😂😂
I came to your channel a couple weeks ago for the taylor swift breakdowns. And I stayed to continue listening to your brilliant analysis and explanation of the references in this ‘rapper war’. Lol never thought myself to be a rap fan but you have drawn me in and now I’m hooked by this hitherto unknown world to me. And by the music and the amazing beef and clever diss tracks. Wot a ting. Kudos to you for your engaging channel and your incredible talent.👏
I'm sure your breakdown of Euphoria is just as in depth, on my way. You really help those of us who aren't full blown hip hop heads understand it all way better. thanks man

Give credit where it’s due and you d exactly that. Much love to what you do man 🔥
Raphael has double-meaning as he was not only a popular artist renown for being one of the greatest but also a healer because Raphael is the Angel of healing & true art heals. AKA - healing the rap game from the damage done by Drake.
Kendrick STILL giving random acts of kindness 😫😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Drake walking around the ovo table like Martin with the fake dog😂😂😂
Like Nino Brown in NJC
C’mon niiiee
Don’t Nobody know nothing ?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol somebody needs to make this a meme 😅

Brooo that “ask what Mike would do…. Hit HARDD!!”
I love this beat bro, just classic hip hop , god bless kendrick for defend the true hip hop culture we all love

I hurt your feelings? You don’t wanna work with me, ok? 😂🤣
Also see: I hate the way that you dress... sends me every time

I’m convinced Kdot is calling Drake’s bluff. That “red button” talk was just a distraction while his people tried finding information on Kendrick but came back empty. The issue with having “yes” men is that they eventually grow a backbone and start talking. Now they’re spilling secrets of their own. We’ve seen this happen time and time again, it’s always better to stay away from the noise and keep a small, genuine circle.
All of Drakes "friends" are on contract. He has no real friends that can't be paid off elsewhere to get away from him. No loyalty around Drake
Red button was for Kanye not Kendrick
Yup. Drake knows how kendrick is, drop some heat and go away for a minute then drop an album. That's why drake alleged kendrick was dropping an album after Like That but didn't once swift dropped so he wasn't expecting kendrick to drop so soon and now he's looking dumb af. No reply on a record you said you already had? Drake can't stop lying
@@olearyeugene How is Drake looking dumb? He literally said "now we have to wait for a week cause Taylor Swift is about to drop". The perception built around Kendrick is just ridiculous.
why does the red button part actually sound plausible? this beef is looking increasingly bad for drake. if he has nothing, he's finished 😂😂
3:40 This line is specifically about AK aka Akademiks repeatedly saying “I’ve been hearing Drakes got some fire coming 🔥” - “I think somebody lying, I don’t see no fire”
Which later plays into the theme later on where he calls out Ak & the OVO camp, Drake essentially put money into the streets to buy info about Kendrick that he could use, but Kendrick’s aware of this cause of the moles in Drakes Camp so he knows Drake hasn’t got no 🔥 cause the material he was looking for isn’t even there cause all the money he put in the streets came back with ‘no receipts’ & so he’s taking the piss & flexing that his own Camp is with him & they don’t even rate Drake themselves
I'm 53 and I can see he's breaking Drake down mentally
This is why I like Kendrick man, like you say, who comes at a diss track like this? People expect disses to be purely "I F'd your bitch" etc. like hit em up. Kendrick's came with an entire concept while dropping layers of napalm, it's wild.
PAC wasn’t lyrical that’s why the lyrics were pinned that way. I love PAC but I’m not gonna be bias.
What you talking about bro.. Pac is one of the best lyricist
@@Chinzahau I know he was but hit em up wasn't really layered it was kinda in your face with the I hate biggie and co. stuff. I only use it as comparison to this since it's hailed as the greatest diss track ever.
@@Chinzahau Pac's best ability was his story telling, especially when it came to his conscious stuff, Big E had the smoothest flows, and rapped like it was almost natural, lyricism wasn't really at the forefront of rap back then as it was still so heavily linked to the gangster lifestyle. Nas was probably the first great lyricist
It's so impressive how Kendrick has gone so hard on both tracks, how Drake asked for quintuples, Kendrick brought them but still just sounds like he's having fun with this and holding something back. He really is ready for war. And as always, a great breakdown by Knox, catches so much first listen
Hard???
U guys are so delusional.
Ur the delusional ones u along with your fellow drake stans and if your not a stan u just done understand or comprehend real rap and bars shit that makes u think but ig thats asking too much from a person like you@MrTrueCaller619
@@MrTrueCaller619nah, you're just simple.
I think you should do a comment reaction on some your fans interpretation on these two diss tracks and certain bars. It would be a nice way to interact with this growing community you have
He was so happy shouting CHEF Kendrick
Cole listening to this saying "This the reason why I did what I did"
Honestly Cole was just in the crossfire.. everything was aimed at drake.. i bet everything that kendrick wouldn't go as deep vs cole
@@TehGlitchGuideye Kendrick and Cole actually friends Kendrick fucks with Jcole and vice versa but he lost his rap legacy i will still listen to Jcole music cuz that man can cook but no one can ever say Jcole is cooking anyone on a diss track and be taken seriously
And we understand now lol
He prolly haven't even woken yet. Sleeping in his soft bed
Tbh it might be offensive for many but neither drake nor k dot rapping on cole level 😶
It's official, the entire culture stands behind Kendrick. We taking rap back! Let's go!!
Taking it back from?

@@musanguchungu3436 was about to ask the same 😂, this Lucas dude is a clown
@musanguchungu3436 hopefully taking it back from "vibe" artists and bringing it back to lyrical ability. So exhausted of most of the game being insane production but weak ass bars or meaningless songs
I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace. I love that and I love that for him. Peace is so important.
Drake just dropped "Family Matters"
Let's GOOOO! Can't wait to see your video of it

6/16 the date for fathers day, Tupacs birthday, the date Euphoria premiered, a shot at drakes 2am in Toronto, and I’m sure there’s more layers
Also the day oj got acquitted assuming that’s why the gloves are there
@@angrybob8126OJ got acquitted in October….i think you mean when the trial started perhaps
Also a bible title, check it really sick
HUH IT HAD MORE THEN 1 MEANING
Gotta be a Bible reference
Kendrick is a clever dude he spits open bars and let's yaw spit extra disses while tryna explain his disses
You're analyzing capabilities and the way you do it off the top is amazing
Kendrick woke up this morning and chose violence.
*There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:* haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."
-Proverbs 6: 16
Thank you for posting this
Isn’t that what Kendrick did with like that though?
@@goveberbuyit1221 a man who stirs up dissension among brothers...that does sound more like what Kendrick is doing tbf...
He woke up chose to pray for his soul before murdering him.
Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it. '
JEREMIAH 6:16
Ain't no way there are like 7-8 layers to that title
Omg, Back-to-Back is a joint album with Al Green & Teddy Pendergrass 🫨🤯Kendrick sampled both of them in his own back to back tracks 💀💀
Drakes uncle also played guitar for al Green…
@@Mxxx1x I saw that too! Crazy
We are now waiting on the moment when Knox finds out that there's two more diss tracks
waiting on the new track reactions 😢

Also Revelations 6:16
@@styx9193Drake has a lot of song titles with timestamps, most recently "8AM in Charlotte"
@@styx9193 Drake makes sounds like 4 am in toronto. Stole his title vibe
Haven't seen anyone post this theory yet: 6:16 could be a reference to Abraham Lincoln's "House Divided Speech" on June 16, 1858. Sounds like the OVO camp is currently a house divided.
Lawdy, the possibilities seem endless. But I wouldn't be surprised.
That’s been talked about, there are many levels to 6:16.
Waiting for the two new breakdowns man where you at knox?😂
I like this guy, no picking sides,

No one realizing Kendrick is acting right now. Hence the “Cut” and why his voice is mimicking drake. He’s acting like drake at the start, using his cadence and delivery
I thought that was pretty obvious.Listening to this track from the beginning
I'm glad somebody else picked up on that other then me... 🔥🔥🔥
Poor job at it
Came several months ago for the Taylor reactions. Stayed for Knox’s insightful breakdowns, and have been loving getting into hip hop and all the lore
glad you’re here!
Know I’ve checked 3 times now since last night, please drop these vid today😓😭😭👏🏾
Why’s Knox soo good at breaking down raps mann😭😭😭
Because he is a rapper himself when you rap and write your rhymes you are able to to see different meanings of what rappers are saying there’s also a lot reading and research too
Knox (Knowledge) unmatched 🔥🔥🔥
💯
This the reason why J Cole decided to back tf down and said, "Nope. not gunn' be apart of that."
😂😂
You believe that😂😂 did j Cole tell you.. This is the reason 🤣
Love the breakdown of the lyrics and all the context around them! cheers!
I like how the mood of the song gets darker and darker, using subtle shifts in the music.
There are even subliminal tracks under the music. People speaking ; a recording it seems. You have to listen to the instrumental to hear them, though. Best song of the whole battle to me.
These breakdowns of Kendrick’s releases have given me such a HUGE respect for how much you know not only lyrically but musically as well. The absolute respect and appreciation for the art rather than just reacting for the spectacle have forced me to sub 😂 much love for you and what you do Knox ❤
Back 2 back I like that record 🔥🔥🔥
Boom. Called it 🤟
@@KnoxHill honestly you’re one of the goats
Cole just riding around on his bike enjoying this warm spring sunshine rn lmao well played jermaine
Kendrick is literally the GOAT of the current Big 3. Dude is intentionally helping his enemy to produce better diss and the breakdown of bars from Knox really helps us understand deeper. This diss is literally a cherry on top ❤
Its big 2 j cole gave up his sport.
THERE IS NO BIG THREE DID YOU MISS THE START OF THIS BEEF 😂
@@clover-vq2rt everyone don't believe that. So, said Big 3.
Keep dreaming. How bout best west coast rapper. That's where the bus stops
@@randomdudeWithoutAniPhone I don't go by the masses. You'll think they all right but stick you head long enough high you'd see a different result. The moment I understood the tools of rapping and what makes a rapper by old standards(in the 2015 and back) , Kendrick and Cole now are much far ahead of drake.
J Cole must be chilling rn having some tea or smth 😂and enjoying the 'show'
He couldn't sleep at night cause he was having nightmares of his house imploding on itself😭
yo kindrik dropped new on called "meet the grahams" man i tell you its darkkkkkk
100% my favorite reactor, love the way you break these things down once I heard about this track I looked for this
Kendrick is not even dissing Drake. He is assassinating his whole character....
“3 keeps coming around…”
Stop me if it’s a reach, but…I think Dots going to drop a THIRD diss on Aubrey
I think so too, it's a pattern I feel would make sense but another could be a full album being dropped
@@colethacharles8061if Kendrick drops album it won’t be none bout Drake 4sure, he takes time for his Albums and make sure that it will last forever he will not mention someone bcs he beefing with him at moment bcs next year it will sound stupid, if he drop Album he will drop finished project with whole story
Hiiipower
Just told my homie that exact thing.
Could very well be.
3 switches.
3 topics (money, power, respect)
3rd diss - big 3?
This is so good. Love when music drops. Feels like we all are excited.
Kendrick was born in 1987
Haileys comet appeared in 1986
Hailey's circadian rhythm is every 75years (has some margin of error) when it "wakes up" (appears to Earth again)
I wonder if that's the reference he was going for

"k-dot joining the dots!"... that's a bar knox🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
Listen to the end of the song the sample repeats "Boy Wonder... Boy Wonder...."
Boi-1da is one of Drake's main producers
I heard that the gloves are a pic of drakes personal gloves which show that kendrick isnt lying that someone in drakes personal group is a leaker and working for kendrick which just gives drake more paranoia.
That’s crazy. I heard Drake woke up at 6:16 that day😅
🤣🤣🤣 THAT'S CRAZY 🤣🤣🤣
I was looking at other reactions and I had to come and find your page! You do a much more thorough job with the breakdowns, and you don't stop the record every few bars like others. Thank you for your hard work and thank you for telling us you love us! We love you also!
Not gonna lie I used to be a knox hater for no reason. Easily the first reaction channel I check for. He actually cares about hip hop and I love that.
What a masterpiece! This guy is a literary genius. A true legend who knows how to spin words to portray a poignant message. He uses all the literary techniques of similes, metaphors, personification, satire etc.This goes beyond HipHop. This is an excellent piece by a seasoned veteran. Go figure!
