Kendrick already dropped a response.
“F a rap battle, this a long-life battle with yourself." Sheesh. This track is tough and the beat is a perfect choice.

Drake dropped
If the daughter thing isn’t true, the whole track doesn’t hit for me. But we’ll see, the truth will come to light.

I’m least concerned about the daughter thing, moreso the pedo ring stuff.

It’s a weird one for me, because if he’s lying or wrong about the child, why would he be write about anything else?
I will say this though, Kendrick’s calling Drake a master manipulator, but the way he dropped the allegation that Drake is harbouring a pedophile and using his position in the industry to solicit sex from hopeful women is being heard as Drake is a pedophile, isn’t that a masterfully manipulated stroke of genius?

If Drake really fed him this info and Kendrick was willing to bite without confirmation… then that’s sloppy for sure

I say: “Keep them coming”!
Wayne Wonder - Keep them coming (Lyrics) [3:48 | Pop]
Kendrick Lamar kicked off his May 3, 2024 with the surprise release of “6:16 in LA,” the diss track that followed up “euphoria” and preceded a Drake response. Fourteen hours later, Drake uploaded “FAMILY MATTERS” to YouTube—which Kendrick used this as fuel to unleash his sinister “meet the grahams.”
As the title implies, Kendrick sends a personal letter to each member of the Graham family and shares secrets about Drake that they, and the listeners, have never known about prior to this release. Kendrick most notably reveals the existence of Drake’s alleged 11-year-old daughter—along with other unspecified children.
Beyond addressing the Grahams, Kendrick attacks other aspects of Drake’s character. He claims Drizzy is addicted to prescription pills (displayed in the song cover), compares him to the disgraced Harvey Weinstein, claims he has sex offenders on payroll within OVO Sound, and that he is a pedophile. In response to the diss, Drake has denied having a secret daughter via his Instagram story.
This track’s cover art—zoomed out from the “6:16 in LA” cover—displays stolen items from Drake’s father’s suitcase that belong to Drake. Amongst these items include Ozempic and Zolpidem pills belonging to Drake and outrageous receipts of Drake’s jewelry purchases.

Never seen anything like this before. Kendrick was ready, knew what was coming.
The whole beef is more than just disses, it’s a psychological tear down of Drake. No amount of IG posts and jokes can put Drake on an equal footing.

Kendrick is up, but he absolutely shouldn’t be. Half of rapping is delivery and he’s fumbled his delivery throughout most of this battle. His disses lack replay value and for that reason he should be losing, but when your momentum is there, that shit will be ignored.
But fuck, I love Hip-Hop!
