Kendrick Lamar returned on Friday (May 13) with his fifth studio album, the Compton native’s first project since 2017’s DAMN. Titled Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, the 18-track effort is split into two parts and boasts features from Ghostface Killah, Kodak Black, Summer Walker, Blxst and Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, among others.
As fans quickly devoured the album, one particular line from “Father Time” featuring Sampha stood out in which Kendrick addressed the relationship between Kanye West and Drake. The two rap titans were beefing for years until they reconciled in the name of Gangster Disciple Larry Hoover last December. A month prior, Kanye also appeared to confirm with Drink Champs Kendrick and Drake were still on bad terms.
Interestingly enough, the song revolves around “grown men with daddy issues” with Kendrick rapping, “Daddy issues kept me competitive, that’s a fact, n-gga/I don’t give a fuck what’s the narrative/I am that n-gga/When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused/Guess I’m not as mature as I think, got some healin’ to do/Egotistic.”
Naturally, Twitter lit up with reactions to the line with several people accusing K. Dot of dissing both Kanye and Drake. But to those who were less reactionary, it sounded like Kendrick was simply surprised they were finally able to bury the hatchet. Check out some of the comments below.
Not that hard for kendrick to understand. Kanye realized drake outsells him in every way and decided to make up after CLB bodied Donda in sales.
Thank you, Russian bot…Cointelpro still going strong lol
We all were TBH.
NO ONE WAS SURPRISED. 2 SOFT DUDES “BEEFIN” IS A MINUTE STEAK. SHIT WILL DISSOLVE BEFORE IT GOES ANYWHERE.
Wack.
Drake is gay and Ye is a GayFish so it does make sense that they’d get back together since they both swim in the same environment.
wow you used a 15 year old joke. good one man! i bet you made everyone chuckle at you gayfish joke. again 15 years old thats the same age as the girl you jerk off to.
Congratulations, you just prove that you’re a sensitive French woman who gets but hurt any time their idol gets made fun of. I’m sorry that you chose two of the weakest and gayest two n***** in the rap game as your idols. If it makes you feel any better, I’ll send you some Kleenexes if you want.
yall need to stfu with all this nasty ash talk lil bois
Somebody is getting turned on. We better stop talking now guys. It’s ok, there’s dating sites for you like Grindr I think lol. But as you wish, well be quiet now.
You’re a walking miracle. It’s really impressive to be born with a full set of balls in your mouth and still be able to talk and type with a dick down your throat too. That’s talent. (Pause)
lets blow kendrick for another week, and then hell release an album in 2025
OH SH!T!!!! BARS!!!!
Summer walker is racist
DAMN ALL THE GAME ON THIS ALBUM AND THIS IS WHAT WACK TWITTER PUTS ON THE MICROSCOPE ON. SMH.
He’s talking about toxic masculinity. Due to his toxic masculinity, he thinks Drake and Ye are soft for reconciling. He would hold the grudge because his dad taught him that that is what “real men” do. He’s not actually confused lol.
