Drake Addresses Kendrick Lamar Beef, Disses Joe Budden On ‘Some Sexy Songs 4 U’

    Drake‘s new album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, is here — and it finds him addressing a few of his enemies including Kendrick Lamar and Joe Budden.

    Though he doesn’t mention Kendrick by name, the 6 God alludes to his bitter feud with the Compton rapper — which also saw the likes of Rick Ross, Metro Boomin and The Weeknd go against him — on “Gimme a Hug,” a snippet of which leaked earlier this year.

    In his defiant opening verse, Drake raps: “Drake elimination, fake intimidation / Take a minute, take a deep breath, have a little bit of patience / ‘Drizzy, you amazing, you the inspiration / You set the bar for the next generation / You Neo in The Matrix, these n-ggas just Nemo in the ocean / Small fish, making kids feel emotion / Using you for promotion,’ truer words have never been spoken.

    “N-ggas want to see ‘RIP me’ on a t-shirt like I’m Hulk Hogan / I appreciate the fans rocking with me, this is really just a small token / Really fucking with a visionary / Only reason I ain’t got a girl and I ain’t getting marriΠ΅d / ‘Cause I’m really out herΠ΅, filling up the itinerary ’til I’m six feet in a cemetery.

    “Bulletproof doors so heavy, got me rolling ’round like a dignitary / Funny how it’s only bitch n-ggas that are waiting on The Boy’s obituary / ‘Cause if I die, it’s these n-ggas that become the sole beneficiary / And what the fuck are they gon’ do with it? / Have the girls up at 29 on stage twerking with a dictionary?”

    The latter bar feels particularly aimed at Kendrick given his reputation for verbose rhymes. It may also be a reference to the cover art of Lamar’s “Euphoria” diss song which is a screenshot of an online dictionary.

    After a bouncy beat switch, the Toronto native downplays rap beef altogether by spitting: “They be dropping shit, but we be dropping harder shit / Fuck a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit / Tryna get the party lit for the bitches / Them Nike tights is hugging on that ass like they missed it.”

    “Gimme a Hug,” which features a second beat switch that samples Aaron Hall’s 1993 R&B hit “I Miss You,” also hears Drizzy aiming a jab at longtime rival Joe Budden.

    “Melyssa Ford, you a legend from the 6, hate to see you with a dick-sucker,” he raps, referencing the former video vixen who co-hosts The Joe Budden Podcast.

    Elsewhere, “Brian Steel” — which is named after the lawyer who represented Young Thug in his RICO trial and negotiated his release from jail — sees Drake responding to the YSL rapper’s plea for him, Future and Metro Boomin to bury the hatchet.

    “Broski just hit me, said, ‘Put all the beef on the side,’ I can’t / Mm-hmm, I’m heated now, yeah / N-ggas want meet up, talk about shit, I’m vegan now / Evil eyes were staring at me and I see it now,” he raps.

    Shortly before he regained his freedom last October, Thug posted on X (formerly Twitter): “@Drake @1future @MetroBoomin we all bruddas. Music aint the same without us collabin.”

    Pluto appeared to be on board with the truce as he reshared the post, although Metro has yet to publicly address it.

    Released right on time for Valentine’s Day, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U clocks in at 21 songs and features appearances from Yebba, Chino Pacas and rising Houston singer Pim.

    Interestingly, the album was released through Universal Music Group, as well as other labels such as OVO Sound, Republic and Santa Anna, despite Drake’s defamation lawsuit against the music giant.

    $ome $exy $ongs 4 U is Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s first album together following a long-running working relationship that has produced tracks like “Recognize,” “Over Here” and “Come and See Me.”

    It also serves as Drizzy’s first full-length offering since his long-simmering rivalry with Kendrick Lamar boiled over last year — a battle he was largely deemed to have lost.

    1. He would have been better off not addressing it at all. he sounds goofy, like the bully who started a fight and got his @$$ kicked.

    2. Drake is a knucklehead. He havent learned anything at all. Smart women in their late 20s is awesome. Why would he diss that? Also, comparing himself to Hulk Hogan??? After all he said? This has to be trolling. I cant.

      1. Hulk Hogan has ruined his legacy and recently got booed out of the building. It makes sense that he compares himself to him.

      2. Hogan is a legend put respect on him he made wrestling big. The reason he was booed was because woke California idiots they really are the worst and dumbest state. Hogan gets cheered in NYC and other cities. California is just a vulture city.

    3. “You Neo in The Matrix, these n-ggas just Nemo in the ocean” _____ I mean how can it be more cornier than that? This fruitbowl is really embarrassing himself at this point.

      1. ^Idk who you are calling out randoms in the comment section but its a wack gimmick. You need a friend and a woman’s embrace you lonely dickbeater.

    4. If Drake and Kendrick would make the shit they’re good at, they’d actually be as good as these white people who have gassed them up think they are. Kendrick can rap, rap for real, and Drake is capable of making excellent hit songs. Neither can resist straying from that though, and the sad part is that’s most of each of their catalogues.

    5. These white rappers are trash him and Eminem just admit it. I don’t like Kendrici and Wayne was snubbed for the half time show but GNX is so much better than this trash that gave me a headache. I want apologies from all you that attacked Ye for Vultures 1 and 2 were both better than this Vultures 1 is overal great. Vultures 2 has its songs too especially Field Trip. I’ve listened to Lil Pumps last project it was better than this same with the last Smokepurpp song he put out. This is just bad how does Drake have fans his music is awful and it’s not 15 years ago anymore he’s not a freshman he’s pushed as someone on Michael Jackson’s level and he’s no where close. This just proves what Ye says they pushed Drake on people and now they fell for the zionists push.

      1. Kanye hasn’t released a decent album in over a decade. That’s why acts like a fool to promote his music. He’s also a bi polar pussy who loves H!tler and naz!s. You have to be a special kind of stupid to still support him

      2. Because I’m tired of people saying Drake is black. Just because his kid is albino and Drake only acts black when convenient doesn’t make him any less black.

      3. ** tired of people saying Drake ISNT black. Because he is. I know because I saved that video of him jerking off his black dick on my computer.

    6. Ppl can’t be wrong go on youtube the numbers don’t lie he is a star but just asking whether the neighbourhood watch are informing ppl in his hood that he is a suspected pedophile apparently………….

      1. Drake runs rap – it’ll sell because his fans wear high heels. Don’t break your ankles wearing your high heels.

    7. The jokes just write themselves. Drake is the corniest goofball nerd who’s so desperate to make strangers think he’s cool and all the goofball corny ass lames gobble his shit up.

      1. Man did u forget we are talking about drake here. Y’all always talk about the now but how about we go back to when Drake had almost everyone down bad for him? This new gen is just soft as hell. Trust me many people were “corny” back then. Also let’s not forget ur talking about someone who genuinely could care less about what u think cause he still so rich he could probably buy it mom and get u a new brother.

    8. HAHAHAHAAHH DRAKE DROPS ANOTHER CLASSIC WHILE PEOPLE FALL ASLEEP AT KENDRICKS CONCERTS HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA KENDRICK FANS GET NO PUSSY AND DRAKE GETS ALL THE PUSSY AND YOU F@GGETS JUST MAD AS FUCK!!! LMAOOOO AHHAHAAHHAHAAHHAHAHH

      1. a week ago, 70k people who went to see a football game all screamed “A MINOR” in unison when Kendrick performed, so it seems you’re theory holds no weight

      2. Not a flex my guy. And 70000 units sold in Australia is considered platinum. So indie entertainers could rock the same venues as the 6 Fraud. Do the math and go to your roomπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

      3. His tickets sold out in minutes. Drake’s always been charitable and gives thousands to people regularly since he started his career.

      4. I JUST DROPPED THE 🧼🫧🫧🫧🫧 AGAIN. I HOPE YOU’RE READY FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE. πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ‘¬πŸ‘¨β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ‘¬πŸ‘¨β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨ CAN’T WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT SOLO ALBUM. MY BUTT HOLE IS READY.

      5. HI MY FELLOW F8GGOTS. IM WEARING SOMETHING SEXY 4 UπŸ‘—πŸ’„πŸ’‹πŸ‘ πŸ‘œ. LETS HAVE SOME FUN.

      6. damn I just realized that Drake does have cheap tickets for sale because he didn’t sell out because I lied. Sorry for being an incel loser that stans a pedophile.

      7. Hahaha in Australia. This aint no AMERICA. This man had to leave the continent. The man who tried to sue hiphop. Is never hiphop.

      8. I’m sorry but there’s countless videos out in the stands and that show was a dud in person. Video proof is there unfortunately.

      1. why do you just assume hes rapping about a man’s ass? You Kendrick fan boys got man ass on your minds ever since seeing lil Bendrick wearing size 29 womens jeans at the super bowl showing off his thighs and booty like a bad bich…..

    9. It’s Valentines Day and my favorite Loverboy dropped a new album ! I can’t wait until my husband gets home from work and pounds my little hole out tonight. It’s the best day ever !

    10. I’m a Drake fan and even I think this album was bad. C’mon Drake, I expected more than this. What a letdown.

    11. I don’t think parynextdoor gets nearly enough credit on how great of a singer he is. His voice is truly underrated and sings about so many interesting subjects

    12. Drake takes direct shots at women but sneak disses men. He literally writes music for guys who simped for a woman and she fucked every dude except you so you just talk shit about her to everyone you know to play off the fact you cry about her when you’re alone πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    13. You know for ppl that hates Drake so much, any time he’s the topic yall flock in droves just to diss him… I’ll never understand it.

    14. Chill out y’all this is a BANGER, and a Banger must be acknowledged. Stop trying to change the rules and reality Haters !

    15. Chill out y’all this is a BANGER, and a Banger must be acknowledged. Stop trying to change the rules and reality Haters !

    16. Nothing about this is hip hop. No wonder Kendrick crushed him so easily. Drake is a pop artist. This is really trash man. I’d rather listen to an R&B artist with an actual nice singing voice than this.

      And this is the trash y’all want me to believe was anywhere near a so called big 3? Even Ja Rule and Nelly in the 2000s sounded way better singing and I don’t even consider Nelly as a rap artist.

    17. Why do Canadians and foreigners copy us Americans so much? Why do you Canadians don’t have your own type of music? There is no hoods in Canada, so why are you Canadians rapping like you are about that life? The suburbs in America is more dangerous than Toronto.

    18. Drake’s new collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR, “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,” showcases his ability to blend personal experiences with catchy beats. While the album touches on his ongoing rivalries, particularly with Kendrick Lamar, it’s refreshing to see Drake maintain his focus on creating music that resonates with fans. The track “Gimme a Hug” demonstrates his skill in addressing conflicts while still prioritizing the party atmosphere his music is known for. It’s interesting to see how Drake navigates industry relationships, from subtle jabs at Joe Budden to responding to Young Thug’s call for reconciliation. This album seems to balance Drake’s need to address his critics with his primary goal of delivering crowd-pleasing hits.

    19. These intimidation, generation, elimination inspiration rhymes are getting tired. As a fellow emcee and self proclaimed lyricist that shit is weak.
