Kendrick Lamar has once again been targeted by Joey Bada$$, this time on new song “My Town”.
While most of the track is aimed at TDE rapper Rey Vaughn, the New Yorker also saved a few bars for Kendrick.
On the song, Joey spat: “I’m the real boogeyman, y’all n-ggas should be afraid / Get the general, I’m killing his troops.”
He later added: “Don’t make me Pulitzer, better be wise because / I’m dottin T’s and cross your eyes like Whitaker.”
While Kendrick has not yet responded to Bada$$, his East Coast contemporary has been eager to duel with the Compton native.
On recent diss track “The Finals”, Joey raps: “I salute you Kenny but I know you well aware / You lookin’ for some competition? Then just know that I’ll be right here.”
The track, which is mainly aimed at TDE rapper Rey Vaughn, also includes bars such as: “The way you let Dot dick sit in your mouth / This that same dick linkin’ I was talkin’ about / You n-ggas would do anything for the clout / Crash out over n-ggas who won’t even let you in they house / I bet you ain’t even got his number/It’s funny how the thirst is bein’ disguised as hunger.”
Things kicked off between Joey and the West Coast as a whole when he dropped “The Ruler’s Back” in January.
On the song, he rapped: “Too much West Coast dick lickin’ / I’m hearing n-ggas throwin’ rocks, really ain’t shit stickin’ / ‘Cause if we’re talking bar for bar, really it’s slim pickings / I rap like I draw pentagrams and kill chickens, n-gga / Fuck around with your soul like Ether, quick for a feature / This that black Air Force energy comin’ out your speaker.”
The lyrics led to Joey directly beefing with Rey Vaughn while Ab-Soul also addressed the comments when he went head to head with Bada$$ in a freestyle.
Ab-Soul spat during the cypher: “Lyt was heavy and Ray definitely stepped / But this is Hip Hop, you know we still on that / It was healthy for the sport, sticking to the roots, keeping it competitive / Just be lucky that Soul ain’t stepping in.”
Dude is so desperate for attention. The whole East Coast is like “can you calm your ass down?”
When your records aren’t selling and nobody wants to hear anything you release then he realized that he has to do whatever he can for clout and attention.
Facts. Preach brotha
Clout strategy old as the time. But hey it worked for Kendrick and now another dude is coming for his spot. What goes around comes around.
Xtra – Xtra slow and stupid.
Drake talked shit about Kendrick for 10 years and Kendrick finally responded. Kendrick did absolutely nothing to joey and joey keeps insulting him and insulting him again. Do you not see the difference between defending yourself vs clout chasing??? You’re either high or incredibly stupid. Possibly both.
Stop it he was going platinum no matter what he dropped some rapper’s just have a supportive fan base drake needed to be put in his place he’s trash
Joey needs to get slapd. Dude stuck in the 90s.
He scared! Kenny wcared
Let it go dude
Joey is the game part 2, no one listening to him no more so what he do go try and dis the top dog for some attention damn shame
Joey is doper than Kendrick. I doubt Kendrick would respond though. He’s levels higher in popularity.
If the Knicks lose it all, can’t blame Ja, can’t blame 50. It’s Joey Bada$$ fault.
Joey badass is real hiphop. The rest of New York has turn to drill
i think it sounds dope
