Kendrick Lamar is keeping his foot on Drake‘s neck by dropping a second diss song aimed at his fierce rival.
Just days after releasing the explosive “Euphoria,” the Compton rapper shared a new song called “6:16 in LA” — a play on Drake’s timestamp song series — on his Instagram page on Friday (May 3).
Rapping over a sample of Al Green’s “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is,” K. Dot fires off another barrage of shots at the 6 God, claiming that there are Judases among his disciples.
“Conspiracies about cash, dawg, that’s not even the leak/ Find the jewels like Kash Doll, I just need you to think/ Are you finally ready to play ‘Have you ever?,’ let’s see/ Have you ever thought that OVO is working for me?” he raps, responding to Drake’s claim on “Push Ups” that he was being extorted by his former label boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith.
“Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person/ Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it/ Can’t Toosie Slide up out of this one, it’s just gonna resurface/ Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose.”
Kendrick also accuses Drake of “harassing” people within his camp and trying to dig up dirt on him.
“It was fun until you started to put money in the streets/ They lost money ’cause they came back with no receipts/ I’m sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace/ But war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed,” he spits.
“The Elohim, K. T. W. know you can’t sleep/ These images trouble you, know the wires in your circle should puzzle you/ If you was street smart then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you.”
He continues: “A hundred n-ggas that you got on salary and 20 of ’em want you as a casualty/ And one of them is actually next to you, and two of them is practically tied to your lifestyle/ Just don’t got the audacity to tell you but let me tell you some game ’cause I can see you my little homie.
“You playing dirty with propaganda, it’ll blow up on you/ You playing nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots, but your reality can’t hide behind Wi-Fi/ Your little memes is losing steam, they figured you out/ The forced opinions is not convincing, y’all need a new route/ It’s time that you look around on who’s around you/ Before you figure that you’re not alone, ask, ‘What Mike would do?'”
Kendrick even takes aim at Akademiks, who is not only a vocal Drake supporter but has served as the Toronto rapper’s unofficial mouthpiece throughout the feud.
“Yeah, somebody’s lying, I can see the vibes on Ak/ Even he looking compromised, lets peel the layers back,” he begins his second verse.
“6:16 in LA” mirrors Drake’s own strategy in the beef, serving as Kendrick Lamar’s second diss song without response.
Last month, the Her Loss hitmaker unleashed two tracks back to back: the aforementioned “Push Ups,” which also contained shots at Future, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross and The Weeknd, and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
The latter featured AI-created vocals from two of Kendrick’s Hip Hop heroes, 2Pac and Snoop Dogg, but has since been taken down after a legal threat from the former’s estate.
While Kendrick — who has been criticized for his supposedly slow response time — has pipped Drake to the post this time around, the 6 God appears to be readying a response.
Following the release of “Euphoria,” Akademiks read out text messages from Drake on his Rumble channel earlier this week in which the rapper told him: “If you think this is fire, you have no idea what I got coming.”
He also apparently said: “See you soon.”
Him using taylor swifts producer should have killed any credibility he had
ur siding w a dude who cant even write his own raps
Didn’t Premier produce for Aguilera? Didn’t Dre produce for Stefani? Producers aren’t pigeonholed into genre. You can tell by the beat that Sounwave did most of it and Taylor’s dude did some fine-tuning. But if you prefer Drake just say that
I hate drake and Kendrick, that’s being said, I rather listen to drake any day over this trash. Lamar’s diss tracks are not good.
You probably listen to Lil Gay N**** or Lil Puzzy Hurtz, or Super gay Marinara Sauce… Hip Hop nowadays be gay AF. Wearing skin tight jeans and carrying purses. GTFOH!!!
Look back to the early and mid 80s with the fur and pants. Not one of them looked straight either.
Dis beef be lame. It need to get real before it get exciting. Sumbody bust a cap in one of dese fool asses.
AI? Lmao let’s see the double standards.and damage control squad.
King Tekashi sittin on da throne eating popcorn.
Why did he even come back for this garbage??? Lmao
I would also rather listen to a Drizzy song. And I don’t even care if dude wrote it himself. Haha
Real beef songs go like “Who shot ya?” and “Hit ’em up.” Real in your face disrespect. Nowadays disses sounds like little kids teasing each other on the playground. Lol.
What do you expect. This is the epitome of this generation. This one did sound way better than the first one though.
Who Shot Ya? It’s well known BIG recorded that when him and Pac were still cool, it was Puff who thought putting it out while Pac was in prison was a good idea, instigating the drama further, it’s a classic, but no diss record
That’s cuz Puff wanted Pac’s cheeks and was pissed off that he couldn’t have him.
They rerecorded it with different ad libs after Pac got shot. So yeah, it was a diss song. NY people need to stop lying about this shit.
Dude stop it with all that back in my day talk, the 90s happened and it ain’t coming back.
This whole beef thing is stupid anyway. – Drake Fans coming to realization it’s a wrap
But it’s not, that’s the problem. I never have liked a single Drake song in my life. Loved gkmc, section 80, OD, etc… but Kendrick is gonna bury any careers here. It’s decent. It’s a similar level to MGKs rap devil, which isn’t saying much. Rap beef these days is really lame, petty, childish, and honestly, super gay.
Now, if he rapped like this all the time, he’d be on it.
Holy shit this was trash. I guess Chris Brown is the only west coast artist who can drop a proper diss after 300 bars. Kendrick groupies are the new BeyHive. They’ll eat anything up.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Chris Brown if from Virginia and started his career in NYC. Can’t take your opinion seriously.
Tupac is from New York, but you all still let him claim California. So, no one cares what you take seriously because you’re nobody
Good thing you don’t matter. Pac isn’t from California, but y’all let him claim it dumbass lol
Cali’s biggest rapper ever ain’t even from there. Maybe you should shut up
That was boring as fuck. Make diss songs great again. Maybe get Chris Brown to ghost write for all these boring milenial rappers. He seems to be the only one who knows how to do a real diss track.
Bruh. You listen to Chris Brown?!?!?!? Loooioool you and Silent_Partner must be lovers or the same simp. Bc y’all have the most stupendously dumb comments since y’all emerged on this gossip site.
It’s the same person under a different name
He started the whole thing claiming he was the big dog clapping everybody up. Then he got dumped on heavy and that’s it for his career. king kendrick is over just another middle aged rapper like logic or somebody like that
Drake can never win, no way a guy who paints his nails and waxes his butthole can win a battle. Everything Drake says has 0 meaning, hes just talking about a fake life style, hes a fruity rich kid who got more rich and wants to act hard. K Dot wins by default
One can only wonder what the state of rap will be like in five to ten years from now. Haha
Dead as a doorknob.
K. Dot’s fans have very low standards for diss tracks. He need to go cook up again. Hahaha
Let’s be real – none of these tracks are great as diss tracks or rap songs.
Kendrick’s initial verse on Like That was great as a kick off, as it came out of nowhere, but since then it’s L’s all round.
To be great diss tracks they either need to reveal shit no one knew, like Pusha did amazingly or talk about sh*t we know but in an amazing way or just go hard as an actual track… Like countless diss songs from the past. They don’t do any of that, either side –
Chris Brown’s Quavo diss tracks better than these efforts from Kendrick and Drake!
Maybe J Cole was right after all to change his mind and dip lol.
Funny that the R&B dudes got the best diss songs. Breezy went in on Quavo.
Push didn’t really reveal anything. Drake’s baby was talked about on TMZ a while before their beef went there. But yeah, Chris Brown had the best diss by far. They will praise anything Kendrick drops because they’re ghey for their favorite rappers. That’s the culture now
I don’t remember seeing any specific rumours about Drake having a kid but Pusha definitely legitimised them regardless.
And that reveal about the Adidas line up/kid reveal messed with Drakes money which is next level. Pusha did him a favour getting that mess cancelled though – what sort of personal looks at revealing your secret child as a marketing tool, fml
Dope joint!!!!
Strategic diss , Kendrick starting to increase the gap on his lead in this one.
LMAO this track was garbage, but y’all are doing your best. He clearly cannot battle rap
You my friend are an idiot and sound mad! This shit is a masterpiece and hate won’t change that. Sorry
Kendrick is cutting up Drake really good. This was a another good diss. I wish it was longer though.
Young Dolph’s “Play with your b” run circles around this Kendrick vs Drake diss joints.
Remember Dolph had 100 shots? But it really only took 22🤷
@Lol It must have felt like 100 though. Haha
Sorry, but I misunderstood your comment at first. I thought about the exaggerated element.
Have you ever thought that OVO is working for me!! That will definitely make Drake question some of the people around him. Which is right to do, because he knows Kendrick is right, the people around him aren’t honest with him and don’t have his best interest in mind. I’m going give Kendrick credit for staying himself while staying sharp with his disses. Most people need to be someone else when they drop diss records, they also use lies and outrageous claims that aren’t true.
One day all these rappers that wear nail polish will “come out” to the world. Haha
1. Tanna Leone was severely underpaid and drake convinced him to leave kendrick’s label for a better deal.
2. There’s stories going around how kendrick was double teamed by both dre and diddy. Eminem was there too.
Yeah that’s a wrap for Drizzy he lost to Kendrick
