People saying “the moment passed” when this is literally one of the most iconic beefs in the history of the genre. This will be talked about 30 years from now. It will never get old. It literally just happened a month ago lol It is still insanely fresh.
It’s just because it’s still so fresh. It’ll be like next year around the same time that people will fully come down from this whole thing presuming nothing happens between the 2 artist before then.
People like that have Tik Tok brains. I get it for CPM and shit cause I GUESS the moment passed ON UA-cam and everyone moved onto other topics. But in hip hop this is still very much relevant. Like Kendrick isn’t either currently or is done filming a music video for a song where he calls the mfs at OvO chomos lol.
@@checksoverstripes2498 he's doing it in order he did pushups then kendrick dropped back to back which he just finished his next one is likely family matters then meet the grams then not like us then the heart part 6
@checksoverstripes2498 did you even watch the damn video?! He literally says the first like 10 mins that Drake Family Matters was a great Rebuttal to 6:16 and the Family Matters breakdown is next. You Drake stans are sensitive af. You don't listen to lyrics or watch videos 😂😂
@@Luiz-w5s He's an introvert. Yes, he's goofy with the people he knows and trusts. But quiet around people he doesn't know very well. There's an interview on here with Wack 100 and DJ Vlad and they both said Kendrick is a very quiet guy. You can even tell by watching his interviews. 😂😂
@@Luiz-w5s that what introvert is, they only can f with someone they trust, I have alots goofy introvert around me, they can't be themselves around strangers, as hyper extrovert u can make them feel uncomfortable to, people like that rather be at home dance alone than going to the club
It's like writing a book, why else are the words there? There's a reason for each line. People just get complacent lately and forgot what Rap originally was, rhythm and poetry. Key word poetry
@@stephaniegunter845 tbf Just like the Grammys, it doesn't really mean that much, it's just someone's opinion. hate me for pointing it out all you want but he's the first and only artist to have it that isn't a classical or jazz composer. basically saying that just because he is the only one to have it does not mean anything other than damn was a flawless album, if drake or taylor swift were to be awarded one next it would pretty much completely invalidate the accomplishment and flex. TL:dr it's not fair to compare that with him bc there isn't anything else to reference the award on other than old white dudes on the piano. I'm a top tier Kendrick fan and forever will be and I will forever hate Drake but i just like saying things other people won't think about
The fact that it took a 12 minutes to breakdown the title meaning, the producer and the artwork before get into lyrics is show how so powerful this diss is.
@@Mark-bo7pbman I had 2 coworkers say that Kendrick lost because his songs can’t play in the club and they don’t wanna hear that lyrical shit… I was like 🤨
@@Mark-bo7pby’all are idiots. Every time someone has a critique about kendrick y’all automatically jump to “drake fans” and every single one of y’all do it
I feel like the line about Akademiks could also be referring to the allegations of grooming and rape against him, insulating that he's such a huge Drake stan because, as Kendrick said on Not Like Us, "predators move in flocks"
Not only did they meet on 6/16 but in the bible Jeremiah 6:16 it says This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ Which is trippy because on this day when Drake supposedly told him of the lifestyle, essentially Kendrick was standing in this position of choosing which path to go. It seems Kendrick chose the good way while Drake chose the opposite. I'm probably overexaggerating but still crazy to think about
Anytime and I do mean anytime kdot talks about numbers it is not only intentional but he usually will have at least four different meanings or quadruple entendres. I guarantee there's 16 solid meanings behind the title of the track. I'm so happy this has been such a culture shift for hip hop especially when you have Snoop calling Kendrick the king of the West.
Ah and I thought it was proverbs 16) There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17) haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18) a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19) a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
When Kendrick says "the audience is not dumb" on Not Like Us is referring to the type of audience with your brain bro because the way you analyze and break down these rhymes is next level. Anybody who loves hip-hop can tell you're passionate about this thing and we respect and appreciate you for it. Keep em coming
All the videos about Kendrick, even before the diss explanations, I always watch and imagine Kendrick watching with some popcorn, laughing and saying "Look, he managed to discover that line, that guy is good" or "Go back to that bar, you only discovered 4 meanings, but it's 5 you're doing well"
@@Chamuko99more so for adults partying (and families and cyclists on the quiet part of the island) there are places on the mainland like lloret del mar that are also typical for high school trips
@@ick_incineratorI love Meet the Grahams but I feel like there’s not much to breakdown there right? Kendrick spoke pretty directly on that one and expanded on stuff in the track itself.
This track got buried and forgotten since it dropped right after a banger and 3 more crazy tracks came right after, super happy you went into such detail and gave love to record a lot of people don't care about.
Just remembered when he said "You playing dirty with propaganda , It blow up on ya" he could be referencing the meme Drake chose to use suggesting he had a red button. In that cartoon when the red button was actually pushed, the character that pushed it was the one that blew up.
@@etx_jayI’m a huge Kendrick fan and I feel the same, something scripted and they have hints along those 10 years for this moment. Anyone with 2 brain cells understood Kendrick would win in a rap beef against Drake, the hints throughout the years gave us that conclusion
What makes this song so eerie is because Kendrick knew the listener wouldn’t catch it immediately. But he knew Drake would listen and know Exactly what he was talking about.
A bathtub the size of a room...and parties with teenager girls...where they're being fed alcohol that tastes like juice. Yeah...some dark shit really has gone down at those parties for sure.
That whole section reminded me of a TiktTok from a girl in Australia after this beef started where she talked about how when Drake was doing a tour there that her and her friends were invited back to Drake's hotel by some handlers of his along with a bunch of other girls. But she said that what stuck out to her more than anything is that none of the girls are asked for their ID's when they're being invited back. Which, you know, seems like it should be a top priority given the purpose of those situations.
There have been multiple vides on TikTok of people who grew up in Toronto talking about how high school girls were attending Drake parties. It’s eerily similar to the rumors that surrounding R. Kelly for years prior to everything coming out
I mean apparently, for more than a decade many of us were vibing to subliminals without realizing. I love Rich Spirit since Mr. Morale came out and recently I'm like, "Was a good chunk of this directed at Drake?"
@@whatsthedirt About the off-white sunseeker. Yachts are well known places for rich people to party with lots of girls, mostly 18/19 year olds, Kendrick mentions he buys them when he gets the fever, Drake has a song called Teenage fever. He could be trying to tell Drake that he knows he's done some messed up shit on his yachts, with teenagers. Ask anyone that's worked on a marina or been part of a Yacht crew, some of the shit you'll see and hear when working on those vessels is absolutely insane. I worked on one briefly in Southern France, the dudes that own these boats, literally have guys who go out and 'collect' girls from the local bars and clubs and invite them onto the Yacht. We know that Drake and Dennis have both used this tactic before. Just food for thought. Edit 1: Never mind, you literally covered exactly what i mentioned 2 minutes after I posted this comment🤣🤣 Edit 2: You mentioned Dubai and the connections the song has to it, but have you been keeping up with how Drake, Lucien Grange, and P Diddy have connections to British Rapper Dutchavelli. Who had to flee the UK after being charged with soliciting and prostituting teenage girls, and guess where he fled too, Dubai. During the beef he also put out a video claiming that Drake owes him a favour for something. Edit 3: Wayne Lineker, Brother of famous English Footballer Gary Lineker, owns a chain of bars and clubs in Spain, such as in Tenerife, Marbella, and Ibiza. He has also faced allegations of sleeping with underage girls, facilitating it at his clubs, and plying young girls with alcohol and drugs. When he was 29, he was engaged in a 'situationship' with a 15 year old English school girl. Also in England we routinely see articles every now and again about girls that travel to Ibiza to party have their passports taken away and are forced into prostitution, hosting at clubs, or working as maids and other crazy stuff, could that be what he's referring to about having the passport tatted, similarly the same situation has also happened in Dubai too, where mainly eastern European girls have their passports confiscated and are then forced into horrific work Edit 4: This might be a stretch, but could the 'Book me a pizza" be a reference to Pizzagate? It was a massive conspiracy at one point that celebrities, and other powerful people were using Pizza restaurants as a way to disguise the trafficking of young girls. He mentions Brooklyn and the Pizzagate conspiracy was centred in New York. I just have never heard of anyone "booking" a pizza, like it's an appointment or a scheduled event. It's crazy how every fucking location you've pointed out so far, further connects to another person with the same accusations floating over their heads.
NGL - This breakdown is a high-level postdoctoral hip-hop thesis for the ages; all the flowers my boy. Drake's unforced error naming Millie Bobby Brown on the Heart Part 6 comes into much sharper focus after this breakdown.
@@watema3381I think everything he's making about this beef will age well. For the sake of the archive. He's moving slowly, but he seems to be the most correct a well defined as far as breakdowns go. Looking forward to the rest of his videos on this.
Age of consent in Ibiza is 16, drinking age is 18, and doing hard drugs is common there…seems like a no brainer hub for someone with Drake’s interests lol
@@paquinraino8180The age of constant applies to everyone. As long as the person is of consent age it's not against the law. Doesn't matter where you're from.
Appreciate you taking time on these break downs to get it right. Just came across your channel about a month ago, and have rewatched many of your videos since then. Thanks for all your hard work in ensuring quality content.
@@whatsthedirt@12:08 sounds like the record on Inglorious Bastards. The scene where they learn of the British guy posing as a German. Everything stops and the whole scene changes to confront the poser
All he do is rap and workout. He been doing that FOR YEARS! That's a lot of time to dial in on your craft... he's the pure definition of an artist. He's laser focused on the music and nothing else lol
As an IT person working with law enforcement, the "book me some pizza" line is clearly another predatory accusation by Dot. The pizza slice symbol is often used in online forums and criminal systems to allude to kids in a sexual way, either on video, or IRL.
yeah Kendrick is clearly alluding to some criminal activity by Drake involving children/teenagers. Dubai, Ibiza, “book me a pizza,” the Memorial Day party that clearly had teens in attendance, etc. i genuinely don’t think Kendrick was lying when he said the rabbit hole goes deeper and he has 5 more tracks doubling down on his claims.
I feel like Dirt knew this but didn’t want to bring it up. He skipped the last line of the Drake impersonation “Only god could give this type of freedom”. Explaining to an audience who Drake sees as a god, pulling strings for him would open up another can of worms with Lucian Grange.
@@CzarinaHarris Agreed. It bums me out a little bit, because why break this song completely down and then clearly avoid talking about the hardest truth in this song: the human trafficking accusations that are extremely obvious in that 'book me some pizza' line. Great video, but it feels pretty cowardly to avoid that. It's why these wealthy, powerful people get away with it. People are actually afraid to talk about it.
I truly mean it when I say, that Kendrick not only knows and understands Drake better than he himself does, but Kendrick literally went to therapy as Drake, solved the issues, just to make his disses more thorough. Daniel Day Louis style lived out the life of Aubrey Graham, just for the sake of the diss. This is a new unheard of level of hate, Kendrick is correct he truly has redefined hate. Cain and Abel and Lucifer and God ain't even understand or comprehend the depths of hatred this deep.
My jaw literally dropped when he was breaking it down, who puts that much effort into a diss??? I'm sure even Drake didn't know what the hell he was talking about.
@@CXMICXN Yeah I didn't really buy into the pdf file angle but damn. Shit is not looking good for Drake at all, who the hell wants to hang around with 16-17-year-old girls at adult parties??? Who knows how many 14 and 15 year olds made it into those parties, and their holding up drinks? It's not a good look at all
I feel like Cole was feeling good with that line and thought all three had the same feelings. Even Pusha T said he believes in himself despite the “Cole’s and Kendrick’s”. Kendrick on the other hand had no intention on being related to Drake. He probably still loves Cole but thinks he was naive at the time. Kendrick knew all would come to know the truth
The question “is it going to be worth the wait” is always answered with a resounding yes only a few minutes into the video. Every. Damn. Time. You’re the goat.
The Elohim, KTW line you couldn’t work out (48:25) is my fav line of the beef it’s saying Kendrick’s mole or wire is their shared God. KTW commonly means ‘know the wire’ (highly relevant to what’s happening) & Drake has Jewish ties and used to talk about wanting to be the biggest Jewish rapper. *You want to know the wire look to God he’s the one guiding my assault* his VERY next bar even uses the word ‘know the wires in your circle should puzzle you’ It also relates back to an earlier bar and concept he’s built; Raphael isn’t just any angel. He is the arch-angel who got sent to battle Satan for God. *Sent to heal with love and give you art* same delivery and unciation to further tie these bars Give this comment a like so he sees it was frustrating him and it’s unfair he missed the coolest line after all this work 😂
KTW is referring to Katy Wickremesinghe, (Katy W) who owns The Wick Culture. It's a deep rabbit hole, but people suspect that the agency is used to transport supermodels across the world. Drake also has a song called Wick Man 😬 (you should see Aks reaction to this bar when he listened to the song)
Nobody knows what KTW is and based on AK’s reaction it is far more important than just meaning “know the wires”. The Katy W reference is reasonable but it’s public knowledge so theres likely something that Ak and Drake both know but nobody else truly knows about.
I'm still watching the video but it's already been a fantastic video! I can't believe that each and every day, I find myself discovering new information about Kendrick's beef songs! Indeed, this man's breakdowns are very good ❤
Idk as huge of a Kendrick fan as I am I don’t think he sits down for hours writing TWO BARS, he’s def metaphorical and esoteric but idk if he’s got THAT much time on his hands
I interpreted "Off-white sunseeker" as: Off-white = lightskin/ mixed. Sunseeker = a person looking for fame/ looking for the spotlight. Matches with drake pretty well lmao
Kendrick made the song to have a common theme. Without knowing all about every single thing in there lives. It’s about Drake is a clown that is dangerous and he has a calling to expose his actions. That he may lose his career but he’s got to do it.
Love these vids man. For me the bars where he's conflicted about going to war has echos of a line from big steppers where he says having a tongue made of sword weakens your soul. But he knows he's a flawed person anyway, so he makes the most of it by growing each time he falls short. Powerful stuff.
This breakdown really made me sit and think this is why Kendrick only performed the first verse of 6:16 in LA flawless at the Ken and friends concert!… mannn you really the GOAT at this dawg.
I’ll be honest. I’m from Inglewood, California and I’ve always only been a casual Kendrick Lamar fan. In fact, I wouldn’t even go as far as to say he was somebody that I listen to. But after this display, Kendrick Lamar is undoubtedly the greatest rapper of all time. Who the actual fuck comes up with something like this?
Many years ago when Kendrick Lamar was barely known in LA, I ran into some of his work. Got a whole six hour two lecture breakdown of "prose" written by Mr. Lamar Duckworth. This was a English Literature professor who listened to zero music, who thought he was reading actual prose as in narrative poetry. This breakdown he did was honestly surreal considering now because realize that the professor was most likely pranked by a younger family member with Kdots raps as written prose. The did not know Kendrick, nor music beyond string instruments. SIX HOUR BREAK DOWN BRO. TOSSING OUT COMPARISONS TO HOMER AND SHAKESPHERE. Kids in the year 4025 gonna be finding new stuff and entire school systems gonna have Kendrick going "A MINORRRRR" as their core curriculum. 😅😅😅
Going further with Kendrick mentioning his grandma: He samples her in his early tracks, specifically in good kid m.a.a.d city (sing about me/dying of thirst) and to pimp a butterfly (institutionalized). She died before the release of DAMN. Which is why the album itself is so emotional since he was passing through the stages of grief.
Kendrick had a real spiritual relationship with his grandmother. On one of his beautiful songs he asked the question who going to pray from him since his grandmother was dead. I gather his faith was from his grandmother. Also Whitley is a very spiritual person also. He also said his grandmother visit him in his dreams. Dreams are very important to him, remember he said PAC visited him in his dreams and told him “Don’t let my music die “.
@@jacqulynsmither8770he also mentioned his grandmother on Mr. Morale on the song Mother I Sober with “My mother's mother followed me for years in her afterlife/ Staring at me on back of some buses, I wake up at night/ Loved her dearly, traded in my tears for a Range Rover”
Whenever Kendrick says “off white sunseeker” he’s also calling Drake off white, while also calling him a sunseeker like Icarus, who’s flying too high and will eventually fall
He's not really doing that. Everyone assumed that, because they are poor and don't know what a Sunseeker is, but Kendrick actually isn't a Colorist. It's just like when y'all think it's some kind of galaxy-brained realization that "A-Minor" is all white keys, as if Kendrick's goal is actually to just call Drake white or nearly white. It's not!
Hope everything is all right man. You mentioned your struggle with mental health and I know the pressure and responsibilities with a platform like this probably is one hell of a stress test on it.
In the bars where he says “Know the wire in your circle should puzzle you If you were street smart, then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you” The Wire & Entourage were both shows on HBO. Just like Euphoria
@@lebogangkekana7530 Kendrick is saying that he has so few street smarts, he's not on level of TV shows, calling him fake gansta (and the call back to Euphoria via HBO too, where he makes the case of fake gansta drake)
I've been suspecting something about 616 songs, it's not been viral as others diss but I like something about that song. The lyrics and beat hit hard now. Also 616 is rumoured as beast number too
I'm calling it... This is the best Hip-Hop analyst in the game right now. You can't make content like this unless you really have immense passion for the genre. As a dude out of South Africa, thank you for bringing me closer to the theatre of Hip-Hop. You're closing any nuances I miss from a geographic point of view. You're GOATed!!! 🤲🏾
That Yacht, 6:16, Wine Cooler, and Teenage girls WITH THE RECEIPTS breakdown is wild, man. Mad props for all this in depth research, man, consider me subbed.
The most annoying part about this beef is the Drake stans acting like Kendrick fans are reaching by putting together extremely simple parallels in Kendrick’s music. Great video bro keep doing ya thang
EXACTLY! I'm not ashamed to admit I only got into him because of the beef, but for years I've heard people say he's pretentious or that his fan are crazy, but after listening to 4 albums in the last few weeks I realize people either just don't know how to listen or they haven't even heard his music and just repeat what others say. I'm not even saying that every single line is a quintuple entendre, but there are a lot of surface level metaphors that I still see people write off as "lol it ain't that deep."
@@Kango234im on the opposite side of that where Ive been a fan of Kendrick since i was like 10, when Saints Row 4 came out cuz that game had Swimming Pools and ofc that song is an absolute classic. I’ve never seen Kendrick as pretentious and more just too smart for a lotta ppl, like even his most basic, surface level bars most ppl dont get and when u try to explain what it means they go “it aint that deep”. I think Kendrick is just above average intelligence and most ppl who tend to hate on Kendrick are just stupid tbh. I know this from experience cuz i seen a lotta Kendrick haters when i was in school and it was always the dumbest kids hatin on him, same dudes nowadays i see postin on socials that Drake is winning 😂😂😂.
Kendrick is not that deep lol he purposely write vague lyrics so that people can put extra meanings to his lyrics. Must people get the overall hidden meaning but then a lot of his fans start reaching and stitching together more shit that Kendrick himself is happy to take the credit for 😂 if you really want to hear a lyrical genius that has the skill that Kendrick wishes he had listen to King Los
@@TheChemist2159 Exactly. This channel and the morons that believe it are actually the casual fans. Half of this video was nothing but outlandish reaches done by someone who doesn't actually get how bars are supposed to be structured in order to make sense. He takes a month to craft made up theories with good edits for clicks. Ridiculous lol
The intro sound of this song is clearly now release video of Kendrick announcing that he will be performing at Super Bowl 2025, when he’s shooting the footballs through the passing machine.
Fun Fact, take out the reverse speak at the beginning of Euphoria, when the the lyrics actually begin, until the end of the song. Euphoria is exactly 6:16 in length.
So many people rushed to decipher all the Kendrick & Drake diss tracks, but you my friend are still undefeated. Once again you've proven that your work takes time and effort. Quality over quantity, always! 💯👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let me get this straight… Kash Doll said she was robbed of $500,000 in jewelry and her net worth is $4 mill?? That is ludicrous amounts of your total value just put into accessories
@@wanderlustwarrior I see you what you’re saying but jewelry is a terrible asset to put a quarter of your wealth into when you’re going to get 20% back or less of what you originally paid for it
Just because she had $500k in jewellery doesn't mean she bought all of it, women do be getting jewellery, but you're right that it's a lot of money to just be lying around, ofc
He missed the caption on the Millie Bobby Brown photo...."choose kindness".....He referenced that in Euphoria.."I can double down on that line but spare you this time..random acts of kindness"
Excellent work I completely missed that the first 10 thousand times listening to that. It’s wild how Kendricks diss tracks are getting better with time and Drakes aged like milk. For example that pet cemetery line on like that has so much more meaning now than it did on release
"Random act of kindness" is what some one of these girls said about Drake being very kind and that he didn't have to be that nice, I forget which one said that
People who only hop on trends are saying the moment passed but we all know who's gonna laugh in 10 years from now when everyone comes to this series of videos instead of the rushed slopfest most people were putting out a month ago. Analysis takes time, y'all! I'm sooo glad hip hop has people like you, man, that care for their content and take their time to get it right. Loving the video
The trifecta line. Bro, you really put in a shift…not even half way the the level of detail really has to be applauded. Those saying it’s a reach really don’t know how meticulously layered Kdots bars are. Hats off for your work! 👏🏾
The order is the key! That’s why we know for certain he’s writting from Drake’s POV. Also touches on the idea of gambling which has been another reoccurring theme 😰🫣
Dirt is like the Dot of UA-cam. Dedicated to his craft. No dropping content just for the hell of dropping it. You can see the work homie puts in. No fillers.
BROOO IVE BEEN SAYIN that Kendrick is rapping as if he WERE Drake in the 6:16 track and nobody listens! I feel like not only the title is a parody, but also the initial topic, even the delivery! Its literally like hes mocking his entire style. Great video ❤️
@@thetryer6858 where in my comment did i mention writing skills. Of course he’s a thousand levels on top of Drake, i meant the topics and pov. No reading comprehension lol
Same, I said it the morning it dropped, this isn't Kendrick but KDot from Drake's prospective, and then the "God!" part sounded closer to "Cut!", like a director ending a scene and with the middle part sounding like Drake couldn't keep up an act... None of what KDot was speaking on sounded like anything her would do, but I never thought it would be this deep as exact dates/time/periods of Drake's actual life! 🤯 KDot truly is the Baba Yaga of Rap!
“Off white sunseeker” is also a reference to Drake being mixed (off white) and trying to make himself appear more black for acceptance, sunseeking to get a tan
Nah, to me that's a reach. Just pay attention to the bars before and after and it will be clear what he is talking about. You guys need to stop these smatass takes.
@@Luiz-w5snah, you dont listen to Kendrick enough to know his shit is layered and probably has more meanings than you think. Maybe you should learn more about the culture, specifically Kendrick Lamar’s music before you try to discredit this take. In Euphoria, he references ‘how many more black features to you finally feel that youre black enough’ so why would this not make sense? You should stop with the dumbass close mindedness and think a little bit more.
Yo that's crazy, I never even considered that he was speaking from Drake's POV in the first verse. You really are on some elite breakdown shit bro. Kudos 👏🏿👏🏿
When I first heard the song I was so surprised to hear Kendrick bragging about yachts and phantoms because that's not who he is. Now it makes perfect sense that he was rapping from Drake's perspective. 😂😂
Your wine cooler explanation and pairing with those videos of the girls at his party are serious 🚩🚩🚩, thank you for covering that because in honesty I didn't make that connection until then, I didn't know there was footage out of that. "The Embassy 'bout to get raided too, it's only a matter of time."
The breakdown of the first verse with the yachts, wine coolers, Ibiza, the underage girls references is spooky as hell to me lol it just creeped me out like I feel there's so much more going on than we may ever know
@@NovikNikolovic mhm I'm surprised this isn't a well known thing. Wanna go down a rabbit hole? Conspiracy theorists have brought to light these codes. I'm sure there has to be plenty of UA-cam videos where it's discussed and exposed. All the elites and famous people have been heard saying these codes and whenever they've mentioned on their platform like shows or interviews etc...they code it thinking people won't catch on but trust me we have and we know wtf is up. It's a sad and disturbing and disgusting thing they do which is why I don't know how more people aren't aware. If everyone was I'm certain actions would be taken!
This is what real passion and hard work looks like. You can tell how much time he spends researching EVERYTHING. Great job man, can't wait for the next one to drop.
This breakdown is a beautifully crafted. I saw the vid was 55minutes and thought “no way he got all this from 1 track…” 27minutes in, and I’m ALL THE WAY LOCKED IN
I saw a video about the sound at the beginning being a “Nebulizer” with the sound just tweaked a bit. Which I can say may be accurate since I had to use one when I was younger. Another dope video Bro! Felt like I had to pay you for this 😂

20:15 That yatch millie bobby brown bar was so on point and went over all our heads except for drake. Now everybody finding out why Drake alluded to her in The heart part 6. 😅
@@leoaguilar8684 lol I honestly love this response because it’s the perfect reflection of everything Kdot has been saying about himself and this feud with Drake for the last 10 years. At this point, I think it’s fair to say that both things are true.
KTW is a dodgy company based in London who deals with a lot of models. Drake has a song called Wick Man talking about partying with girls and one of the girls associated with the company died in Dubai.
“The industry is cooked as I tear the carcass apart” I read this as Kendrick saying the industry has removed all integrity from music and Drake is what you’re left with, the carcass. Kendrick is surgically dissecting the carcass of the music industry.
I agree Kendrick didn’t write these songs in a day he had these in the chamber for years .. which is Drake fault for them being unleashed because he begged Kendrick to drop 😂 the vault
I believe rappers, much like writers and artists, must have many notebooks with sketches and random ideas that pop up during the day. So when Kendrick realized where this was going, he could look back on stuff he'd done before and maybe work on it or use it as inspiration. Though I do believe he improvs a lot of stuff, rap battles can get someone really well trained to come up with lyrics quickly
“Lucalis dwellings in Brooklyn, just to book me some pizza." “Pizza” is an FBI disclosed terminology for underage women. Brooklyn is Latto's lil sister who was dating Drake. "Make sure you hide your lil sister from him." 🤯🤯🤯 This shit just adds up so perfectly holy!
Once again you drop the quality breakdown, not simply a rush to be the first or get the most clicks. I'm looking forward to the rest of the breakdowns because as a casual observer there is no way I could dive this deep into the various meanings in the songs - but I am aware they are there. Keep doing you man, I love the effort you put into these and it's why I keep coming back. 6;16 was honestly one of my favorite tracks of the entire beef, I love that first half.

It’s just because it’s still so fresh. It’ll be like next year around the same time that people will fully come down from this whole thing presuming nothing happens between the 2 artist before then.

Ignore that shit. This will never get old for me. And I personally don't think it's over yet.
Amen, the Internet has goldfish attention spans. This beef is generational and will be dissected by hip hop heads even after both artists are gone.
People like that have Tik Tok brains. I get it for CPM and shit cause I GUESS the moment passed ON UA-cam and everyone moved onto other topics. But in hip hop this is still very much relevant. Like Kendrick isn’t either currently or is done filming a music video for a song where he calls the mfs at OvO chomos lol.

When will people realize not to mess with an introvert with integrity
well, Kendrick says he's an "anti-social extrovert" in DNA. so I dunno about that
@@Luiz-w5s He's an introvert. Yes, he's goofy with the people he knows and trusts. But quiet around people he doesn't know very well. There's an interview on here with Wack 100 and DJ Vlad and they both said Kendrick is a very quiet guy. You can even tell by watching his interviews. 😂😂
@@Luiz-w5s that what introvert is, they only can f with someone they trust, I have alots goofy introvert around me, they can't be themselves around strangers, as hyper extrovert u can make them feel uncomfortable to, people like that rather be at home dance alone than going to the club
...Introverts can be goofy and fun with their own people.

To anyone that claims that people are reading too much into Kendrick lyrics:
Why do you think he has a Pulitzer?

You realize his pulitzer has nothing to do with lyrics? Why are kendrick fans so stupid lmfao
It's like writing a book, why else are the words there? There's a reason for each line. People just get complacent lately and forgot what Rap originally was, rhythm and poetry. Key word poetry
@@stephaniegunter845 tbf Just like the Grammys, it doesn't really mean that much, it's just someone's opinion. hate me for pointing it out all you want but he's the first and only artist to have it that isn't a classical or jazz composer. basically saying that just because he is the only one to have it does not mean anything other than damn was a flawless album, if drake or taylor swift were to be awarded one next it would pretty much completely invalidate the accomplishment and flex. TL:dr it's not fair to compare that with him bc there isn't anything else to reference the award on other than old white dudes on the piano.
I'm a top tier Kendrick fan and forever will be and I will forever hate Drake but i just like saying things other people won't think about
The fact that it took a 12 minutes to breakdown the title meaning, the producer and the artwork before get into lyrics is show how so powerful this diss is.
And people say it's boring because "i can't bang it in my car" smh...definitely drizzy fans lol
And the whole be is in a-minor. Which is crazy
@@Mark-bo7pbman I had 2 coworkers say that Kendrick lost because his songs can’t play in the club and they don’t wanna hear that lyrical shit… I was like 🤨

Also Raphael the painter would dissect corpses to learn the human anatomy. So “pick the carcass apart” is another double entendre
Damn. Good catch
Niiiice
Drake asked for quadruple entendre and K Dot delivered 😮💨🔥
Great catch
He did not. Michelangelo & Leonardo dissected corpses but Raphael did not.
I feel like the line about Akademiks could also be referring to the allegations of grooming and rape against him, insulating that he's such a huge Drake stan because, as Kendrick said on Not Like Us, "predators move in flocks"
Not only did they meet on 6/16 but in the bible Jeremiah 6:16 it says This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Which is trippy because on this day when Drake supposedly told him of the lifestyle, essentially Kendrick was standing in this position of choosing which path to go. It seems Kendrick chose the good way while Drake chose the opposite. I'm probably overexaggerating but still crazy to think about
This is actually reasonable 💀
@@--REGULAR--REGULARfax, and cause of the way kendrick is with all these double entendres i wouldn’t be surprised if the Bible verse was intended too
Could also be deuturonomy 6:16, fits well and referenced in damn
Anytime and I do mean anytime kdot talks about numbers it is not only intentional but he usually will have at least four different meanings or quadruple entendres. I guarantee there's 16 solid meanings behind the title of the track. I'm so happy this has been such a culture shift for hip hop especially when you have Snoop calling Kendrick the king of the West.
Ah and I thought it was proverbs
16) There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17) haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18) a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19) a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
When Kendrick says "the audience is not dumb" on Not Like Us is referring to the type of audience with your brain bro because the way you analyze and break down these rhymes is next level. Anybody who loves hip-hop can tell you're passionate about this thing and we respect and appreciate you for it. Keep em coming
My conclusion from this video: Kendrick is a genius, and so is this dude who deciphered this.
Exactly
Kendrick also has to be crazy. 😂
All the videos about Kendrick, even before the diss explanations, I always watch and imagine Kendrick watching with some popcorn, laughing and saying "Look, he managed to discover that line, that guy is good" or "Go back to that bar, you only discovered 4 meanings, but it's 5 you're doing well"
Facts
You gonna keep this same energy when this channels next video drops? 😭🤣🤣
As someone who lives in Europe, teenagers plan trips to Ibiza fresh out of highschool (16+) to party. Its damn near a tradition among friend groups.

@@bruheehhhhsomeone did upload it as a podcast or audio book though lol
Just remembered when he said "You playing dirty with propaganda , It blow up on ya" he could be referencing the meme Drake chose to use suggesting he had a red button. In that cartoon when the red button was actually pushed, the character that pushed it was the one that blew up.
Which should go to show you this shi is obviously scripted
@@etx_jayI’m a huge Kendrick fan and I feel the same, something scripted and they have hints along those 10 years for this moment. Anyone with 2 brain cells understood Kendrick would win in a rap beef against Drake, the hints throughout the years gave us that conclusion
What makes this song so eerie is because Kendrick knew the listener wouldn’t catch it immediately. But he knew Drake would listen and know Exactly what he was talking about.
A bathtub the size of a room...and parties with teenager girls...where they're being fed alcohol that tastes like juice. Yeah...some dark shit really has gone down at those parties for sure.
That's a bar low key I thought you were rapping lmao
That whole section reminded me of a TiktTok from a girl in Australia after this beef started where she talked about how when Drake was doing a tour there that her and her friends were invited back to Drake's hotel by some handlers of his along with a bunch of other girls. But she said that what stuck out to her more than anything is that none of the girls are asked for their ID's when they're being invited back. Which, you know, seems like it should be a top priority given the purpose of those situations.
There have been multiple vides on TikTok of people who grew up in Toronto talking about how high school girls were attending Drake parties. It’s eerily similar to the rumors that surrounding R. Kelly for years prior to everything coming out
@@NoName-rs1sgong 😂
@82Jaster EXACTLY! ID is a must AND it should be scanned for authenticity.
This made me realize most of the song completely went over my head. Kendrick is amazing.
Haha went over my head as well.
Yeah he went over my head too especially the fact that he was rapping from Drake's standpoint in the beginning. I didn't realize that one at all
Yo literally bro, all of this shit went over my head and it’s one of my favs from the beef
Lol..Yep
I mean apparently, for more than a decade many of us were vibing to subliminals without realizing. I love Rich Spirit since Mr. Morale came out and recently I'm like, "Was a good chunk of this directed at Drake?"

And this is for the least popular of all the disses too. MTG gonna go insane
@@isaacramsay7889That’s because it’s not on streaming services due to needing a clearance for the sample that I’m sure would cost a fortune.
@@whatsthedirt About the off-white sunseeker. Yachts are well known places for rich people to party with lots of girls, mostly 18/19 year olds, Kendrick mentions he buys them when he gets the fever, Drake has a song called Teenage fever. He could be trying to tell Drake that he knows he's done some messed up shit on his yachts, with teenagers.
Ask anyone that's worked on a marina or been part of a Yacht crew, some of the shit you'll see and hear when working on those vessels is absolutely insane. I worked on one briefly in Southern France, the dudes that own these boats, literally have guys who go out and 'collect' girls from the local bars and clubs and invite them onto the Yacht. We know that Drake and Dennis have both used this tactic before.
Just food for thought.
Edit 1: Never mind, you literally covered exactly what i mentioned 2 minutes after I posted this comment🤣🤣
Edit 2: You mentioned Dubai and the connections the song has to it, but have you been keeping up with how Drake, Lucien Grange, and P Diddy have connections to British Rapper Dutchavelli. Who had to flee the UK after being charged with soliciting and prostituting teenage girls, and guess where he fled too, Dubai. During the beef he also put out a video claiming that Drake owes him a favour for something.
Edit 3: Wayne Lineker, Brother of famous English Footballer Gary Lineker, owns a chain of bars and clubs in Spain, such as in Tenerife, Marbella, and Ibiza. He has also faced allegations of sleeping with underage girls, facilitating it at his clubs, and plying young girls with alcohol and drugs. When he was 29, he was engaged in a 'situationship' with a 15 year old English school girl.
Also in England we routinely see articles every now and again about girls that travel to Ibiza to party have their passports taken away and are forced into prostitution, hosting at clubs, or working as maids and other crazy stuff, could that be what he's referring to about having the passport tatted, similarly the same situation has also happened in Dubai too, where mainly eastern European girls have their passports confiscated and are then forced into horrific work
Edit 4: This might be a stretch, but could the 'Book me a pizza" be a reference to Pizzagate? It was a massive conspiracy at one point that celebrities, and other powerful people were using Pizza restaurants as a way to disguise the trafficking of young girls. He mentions Brooklyn and the Pizzagate conspiracy was centred in New York. I just have never heard of anyone "booking" a pizza, like it's an appointment or a scheduled event.
It's crazy how every fucking location you've pointed out so far, further connects to another person with the same accusations floating over their heads.
When WTD drops it’s like a new song 😂
NGL - This breakdown is a high-level postdoctoral hip-hop thesis for the ages; all the flowers my boy.
Drake's unforced error naming Millie Bobby Brown on the Heart Part 6 comes into much sharper focus after this breakdown.

Grandmaster of rap
exactly what i had in my mind discovering him through this beef. bro is the culture
@@justinp9170 yeah that's why he is such an important figure in music history moving forward, and why he never misses. His vault tracks are amazing
As an IT person working with law enforcement, the "book me some pizza" line is clearly another predatory accusation by Dot. The pizza slice symbol is often used in online forums and criminal systems to allude to kids in a sexual way, either on video, or IRL.
Yeah I thought that was kinda obvious just from hearing/knowing about pizza gate and drake supposedly being a pedo. Lol
yeah Kendrick is clearly alluding to some criminal activity by Drake involving children/teenagers. Dubai, Ibiza, “book me a pizza,” the Memorial Day party that clearly had teens in attendance, etc. i genuinely don’t think Kendrick was lying when he said the rabbit hole goes deeper and he has 5 more tracks doubling down on his claims.
@@HwishsiwkI don’t think Kendrick lied about anything.
I feel like Dirt knew this but didn’t want to bring it up. He skipped the last line of the Drake impersonation “Only god could give this type of freedom”. Explaining to an audience who Drake sees as a god, pulling strings for him would open up another can of worms with Lucian Grange.
@@CzarinaHarris Agreed. It bums me out a little bit, because why break this song completely down and then clearly avoid talking about the hardest truth in this song: the human trafficking accusations that are extremely obvious in that 'book me some pizza' line. Great video, but it feels pretty cowardly to avoid that. It's why these wealthy, powerful people get away with it. People are actually afraid to talk about it.
This is not a breakdown. It’s an engineering project! HOLY MOTHER!!
I truly mean it when I say, that Kendrick not only knows and understands Drake better than he himself does, but Kendrick literally went to therapy as Drake, solved the issues, just to make his disses more thorough. Daniel Day Louis style lived out the life of Aubrey Graham, just for the sake of the diss. This is a new unheard of level of hate, Kendrick is correct he truly has redefined hate. Cain and Abel and Lucifer and God ain't even understand or comprehend the depths of hatred this deep.

My jaw literally dropped when he was breaking it down, who puts that much effort into a diss??? I'm sure even Drake didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

I feel like Cole was feeling good with that line and thought all three had the same feelings. Even Pusha T said he believes in himself despite the “Cole’s and Kendrick’s”.
Kendrick on the other hand had no intention on being related to Drake. He probably still loves Cole but thinks he was naive at the time. Kendrick knew all would come to know the truth

Who’s here after Kendrick’s Super Bowl announcement? The sound at the beginning of the song is the jugs machine
1st
The Elohim, KTW line you couldn’t work out (48:25) is my fav line of the beef it’s saying Kendrick’s mole or wire is their shared God. KTW commonly means ‘know the wire’ (highly relevant to what’s happening) & Drake has Jewish ties and used to talk about wanting to be the biggest Jewish rapper. *You want to know the wire look to God he’s the one guiding my assault* his VERY next bar even uses the word ‘know the wires in your circle should puzzle you’
It also relates back to an earlier bar and concept he’s built; Raphael isn’t just any angel. He is the arch-angel who got sent to battle Satan for God. *Sent to heal with love and give you art* same delivery and unciation to further tie these bars
Give this comment a like so he sees it was frustrating him and it’s unfair he missed the coolest line after all this work 😂
KTW is referring to Katy Wickremesinghe, (Katy W) who owns The Wick Culture. It's a deep rabbit hole, but people suspect that the agency is used to transport supermodels across the world. Drake also has a song called Wick Man 😬 (you should see Aks reaction to this bar when he listened to the song)
@@xvravianx7997 can you recommend what to search to go down this rabbit hole please mate
Nobody knows what KTW is and based on AK’s reaction it is far more important than just meaning “know the wires”.
The Katy W reference is reasonable but it’s public knowledge so theres likely something that Ak and Drake both know but nobody else truly knows about.
That's the thing y'all it's a double triple entendre meaning 😊@@xvravianx7997

It’s official, Kendrick Lamar is from Earth 616
Many years ago when Kendrick Lamar was barely known in LA, I ran into some of his work. Got a whole six hour two lecture breakdown of "prose" written by Mr. Lamar Duckworth. This was a English Literature professor who listened to zero music, who thought he was reading actual prose as in narrative poetry. This breakdown he did was honestly surreal considering now because realize that the professor was most likely pranked by a younger family member with Kdots raps as written prose. The did not know Kendrick, nor music beyond string instruments. SIX HOUR BREAK DOWN BRO. TOSSING OUT COMPARISONS TO HOMER AND SHAKESPHERE.

True
Going further with Kendrick mentioning his grandma:
He samples her in his early tracks, specifically in good kid m.a.a.d city (sing about me/dying of thirst) and to pimp a butterfly (institutionalized). She died before the release of DAMN. Which is why the album itself is so emotional since he was passing through the stages of grief.
Kendrick had a real spiritual relationship with his grandmother. On one of his beautiful songs he asked the question who going to pray from him since his grandmother was dead. I gather his faith was from his grandmother. Also Whitley is a very spiritual person also. He also said his grandmother visit him in his dreams. Dreams are very important to him, remember he said PAC visited him in his dreams and told him “Don’t let my music die “.
@@jacqulynsmither8770he also mentioned his grandmother on Mr. Morale on the song Mother I Sober with “My mother's mother followed me for years in her afterlife/ Staring at me on back of some buses, I wake up at night/ Loved her dearly, traded in my tears for a Range Rover”
That album got me thru some 💩.
Whenever Kendrick says “off white sunseeker” he’s also calling Drake off white, while also calling him a sunseeker like Icarus, who’s flying too high and will eventually fall
And being a sunseeker can mean he wants to get more tan or be more black
The full name of the boat he referred to as well is called a Sunseeker Predator (hence Drake being a pedo)
AAAAAYYYYYYEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He's not really doing that. Everyone assumed that, because they are poor and don't know what a Sunseeker is, but Kendrick actually isn't a Colorist. It's just like when y'all think it's some kind of galaxy-brained realization that "A-Minor" is all white keys, as if Kendrick's goal is actually to just call Drake white or nearly white. It's not!

I'm calling it... This is the best Hip-Hop analyst in the game right now. You can't make content like this unless you really have immense passion for the genre. As a dude out of South Africa, thank you for bringing me closer to the theatre of Hip-Hop. You're closing any nuances I miss from a geographic point of view. You're GOATed!!! 🤲🏾
Agreed. First, I thought it was Knox Hill. But this guy goes BEYOND research.
He’s definitely the best
Completely agree
The best , hands-down IMO.
You're on point in that brother salute you from The Bronx,NY 💯♥️🇵🇷
I think you now know what your subject stuck sound was. The big game is gonna be sick at halftime! Salute WTD.
That Yacht, 6:16, Wine Cooler, and Teenage girls WITH THE RECEIPTS breakdown is wild, man. Mad props for all this in depth research, man, consider me subbed.
The most annoying part about this beef is the Drake stans acting like Kendrick fans are reaching by putting together extremely simple parallels in Kendrick’s music. Great video bro keep doing ya thang
EXACTLY! I'm not ashamed to admit I only got into him because of the beef, but for years I've heard people say he's pretentious or that his fan are crazy, but after listening to 4 albums in the last few weeks I realize people either just don't know how to listen or they haven't even heard his music and just repeat what others say. I'm not even saying that every single line is a quintuple entendre, but there are a lot of surface level metaphors that I still see people write off as "lol it ain't that deep."
@@Kango234im on the opposite side of that where Ive been a fan of Kendrick since i was like 10, when Saints Row 4 came out cuz that game had Swimming Pools and ofc that song is an absolute classic. I’ve never seen Kendrick as pretentious and more just too smart for a lotta ppl, like even his most basic, surface level bars most ppl dont get and when u try to explain what it means they go “it aint that deep”. I think Kendrick is just above average intelligence and most ppl who tend to hate on Kendrick are just stupid tbh. I know this from experience cuz i seen a lotta Kendrick haters when i was in school and it was always the dumbest kids hatin on him, same dudes nowadays i see postin on socials that Drake is winning 😂😂😂.
Kendrick is not that deep lol he purposely write vague lyrics so that people can put extra meanings to his lyrics. Must people get the overall hidden meaning but then a lot of his fans start reaching and stitching together more shit that Kendrick himself is happy to take the credit for 😂 if you really want to hear a lyrical genius that has the skill that Kendrick wishes he had listen to King Los
@@TheChemist2159 Exactly. This channel and the morons that believe it are actually the casual fans. Half of this video was nothing but outlandish reaches done by someone who doesn't actually get how bars are supposed to be structured in order to make sense. He takes a month to craft made up theories with good edits for clicks. Ridiculous lol
@@TheChemist2159this comment was hard to read the homie above was right people who hate on kendrick are just stupid 😂😂😂
This track is Kendrick flexing his lyricism on Drake. “I can do your time stamp records better than you!”
I agree!!!
And hilariously, Drake cultists said it's mid 🤣 It sounds exactly like Drake in every way! That's saying a lot!
Hilarious that Drake’s response to that was to do a “The Heart …” soooo much worse than Kendrick
He did with baby keem style too.
Drake might have done well against the other opps but Kenny stuff aged like wine 🍷 Drakes not so much
The intro sound of this song is clearly now release video of Kendrick announcing that he will be performing at Super Bowl 2025, when he’s shooting the footballs through the passing machine.
THIS WAS LITERALLY THE BEST SONG, PEOPLE ARE SO SLEEP ON THIS. HE TRANSCENDED AFTER THIS SONG AND THE REST IS HISTORY
I SWEAR
Agreed
I love this song
Euphoria is better
I haven’t stopped humming it since I first heard it ❤
The age of consent in Ibiza was just raised from 13 to 16 in 2009. So there's that...
that made drake sad
Thefuq
That means nothing... it ain't about laws... it's about morals yo... kidding me... stop taking advantage ashholles
That’s crazyyyyyy
It was JUST raised 15 years ago?
“Pizza” is an FBI disclosed terminology for underage women. So “book me some pizza” isn’t regarding food at all.
yes it could, he mentioned Brooklyn for a reason. Multiple entendres
Yep. And the way he said pizza sounded like "piece of"
@@iarguewithgoofies7355 Also Brooklyn is Latto's younger sister who was rumored to be dating Drake 🤯🤯 "make sure you hide your lil sister from him"
Not just women I think it applies to boys too
Could also mean "piece of ass" said in a slang way....
Book me a piece of ass.....
Could imply any gender too
Fun Fact, take out the reverse speak at the beginning of Euphoria, when the the lyrics actually begin, until the end of the song. Euphoria is exactly 6:16 in length.
So many people rushed to decipher all the Kendrick & Drake diss tracks, but you my friend are still undefeated. Once again you've proven that your work takes time and effort. Quality over quantity, always! 💯👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know Kendrick watched this and felt proud. He truly knows us.. “hey Drake the audience is not dumb.. shape the stories how you want..”
Mhmm !
They not slow
Yes, he even said that he watches and sometimes in awe, at his supporters' breakdowns and proud! He knows ,we know ,it's our thing! ✊🏽💫💡🫡🤞🏾
Lmaoo WTD did all the work, you're not like him
Broooooooooooo, we've been waiting
There was even a point I asked myself that what’s the dirt promise us more content on the beef😢😂. I miss dude’s videos
For so long 😅
He said he takes his time so let him cook.
Let me get this straight… Kash Doll said she was robbed of $500,000 in jewelry and her net worth is $4 mill?? That is ludicrous amounts of your total value just put into accessories
Insurance fraud
Oftentimes rappers and athletes wear jewelry on loan from the store as promotion.
Could just be a physical asset investment and not something she wears. Not what I'd do, but still.
@@wanderlustwarrior I see you what you’re saying but jewelry is a terrible asset to put a quarter of your wealth into when you’re going to get 20% back or less of what you originally paid for it
Just because she had $500k in jewellery doesn't mean she bought all of it, women do be getting jewellery, but you're right that it's a lot of money to just be lying around, ofc
He missed the caption on the Millie Bobby Brown photo...."choose kindness".....He referenced that in Euphoria.."I can double down on that line but spare you this time..random acts of kindness"
Ohhhhhh damn!!!!!!! Bro….that is the first time I heard that. Well done. Sheshhh
Excellent work I completely missed that the first 10 thousand times listening to that. It’s wild how Kendricks diss tracks are getting better with time and Drakes aged like milk. For example that pet cemetery line on like that has so much more meaning now than it did on release
"Random act of kindness" is what some one of these girls said about Drake being very kind and that he didn't have to be that nice, I forget which one said that
@@paquinraino8180 Billie Eilish was the one who said he didn't have to be that nice
This is why check the comments. 🔥
People who only hop on trends are saying the moment passed but we all know who's gonna laugh in 10 years from now when everyone comes to this series of videos instead of the rushed slopfest most people were putting out a month ago. Analysis takes time, y'all! I'm sooo glad hip hop has people like you, man, that care for their content and take their time to get it right. Loving the video
The trifecta line. Bro, you really put in a shift…not even half way the the level of detail really has to be applauded. Those saying it’s a reach really don’t know how meticulously layered Kdots bars are. Hats off for your work! 👏🏾
I appreciate that!
I agree. Thought I knew what trifecta meant but didn’t realize the order is important.
The order is the key! That’s why we know for certain he’s writting from Drake’s POV. Also touches on the idea of gambling which has been another reoccurring theme 😰🫣
Going back to watch the majority of your ish man. GREAT STUFF! RESPECT!
Dirt is like the Dot of UA-cam. Dedicated to his craft. No dropping content just for the hell of dropping it. You can see the work homie puts in. No fillers.
Dirt is more like Drake.
How? @@NixonMayHaveBeenOnToSomething
@@mitsurugida6033isn‘t Buddy a Drake fan too ?
@@NixonMayHaveBeenOnToSomething ahead of his time
BROOO IVE BEEN SAYIN that Kendrick is rapping as if he WERE Drake in the 6:16 track and nobody listens! I feel like not only the title is a parody, but also the initial topic, even the delivery! Its literally like hes mocking his entire style. Great video ❤️
“The mannerisms of Raphael I can heal and give you art.” Drake isn’t anything near Kendrick bruh lmfao
@@thetryer6858 where in my comment did i mention writing skills. Of course he’s a thousand levels on top of Drake, i meant the topics and pov. No reading comprehension lol
SAMEEE. I have so any comments when it first dropped* saying it literaly sounds like his style in beginning he mocking him
Same, I said it the morning it dropped, this isn't Kendrick but KDot from Drake's prospective, and then the "God!" part sounded closer to "Cut!", like a director ending a scene and with the middle part sounding like Drake couldn't keep up an act... None of what KDot was speaking on sounded like anything her would do, but I never thought it would be this deep as exact dates/time/periods of Drake's actual life! 🤯 KDot truly is the Baba Yaga of Rap!
@@rafaelaguerra2 I was agreeing with you, but just stating that line because your name is “Rafael” but go off queenage.
“Off white sunseeker” is also a reference to Drake being mixed (off white) and trying to make himself appear more black for acceptance, sunseeking to get a tan
i literally had a similar thought in that part!
Nah, to me that's a reach. Just pay attention to the bars before and after and it will be clear what he is talking about. You guys need to stop these smatass takes.
entendre's going right over ya head, hip hop ain't for you@@Luiz-w5s
@@Luiz-w5snah, you dont listen to Kendrick enough to know his shit is layered and probably has more meanings than you think. Maybe you should learn more about the culture, specifically Kendrick Lamar’s music before you try to discredit this take. In Euphoria, he references ‘how many more black features to you finally feel that youre black enough’ so why would this not make sense? You should stop with the dumbass close mindedness and think a little bit more.
What is it the braids?!?! Lol
Kendrick dropped before you that's crazy!
Yo that's crazy, I never even considered that he was speaking from Drake's POV in the first verse. You really are on some elite breakdown shit bro. Kudos 👏🏿👏🏿
When I first heard the song I was so surprised to hear Kendrick bragging about yachts and phantoms because that's not who he is. Now it makes perfect sense that he was rapping from Drake's perspective. 😂😂
@@ArtificialIntelligenceSoundon god was lost
The yatch, Ibiza. I have been wondering about it but I definitively didn't have the knowledge and analys to think it was really that.
Your wine cooler explanation and pairing with those videos of the girls at his party are serious 🚩🚩🚩, thank you for covering that because in honesty I didn't make that connection until then, I didn't know there was footage out of that. "The Embassy 'bout to get raided too, it's only a matter of time."
Why are you THIS naive?? How can you possibly believe this made up nonsense is true? This is SCARY man lol
The breakdown of the first verse with the yachts, wine coolers, Ibiza, the underage girls references is spooky as hell to me lol it just creeped me out like I feel there's so much more going on than we may ever know
@@laundryday2440I wondered why he didn’t bring that up! Clearly about pizza gate
"book me some pizza" that definitely sounds like code for underage kids. Specifically girls...
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn 😮😮😮😮😮
Is that really the euphemism they use.. 🤢
@@NovikNikolovic mhm I'm surprised this isn't a well known thing. Wanna go down a rabbit hole? Conspiracy theorists have brought to light these codes. I'm sure there has to be plenty of UA-cam videos where it's discussed and exposed. All the elites and famous people have been heard saying these codes and whenever they've mentioned on their platform like shows or interviews etc...they code it thinking people won't catch on but trust me we have and we know wtf is up. It's a sad and disturbing and disgusting thing they do which is why I don't know how more people aren't aware. If everyone was I'm certain actions would be taken!
@@NovikNikoloviclook up pizza gate
@@NovikNikolovic do you remember pizzagate?
I don't think it's a emphasis that's used, but pizzagate was a conspiracy about a pedo ring
Kendrick=The Art of War💯
The art of peer pressure.
The art of p e t t y . .
15.6 < 146 (416 always 🤷🏻♀️😜)
someone tell homeboy the sound is a deli slicer
This is what real passion and hard work looks like. You can tell how much time he spends researching EVERYTHING. Great job man, can't wait for the next one to drop.
I appreciate that!
This breakdown is a beautifully crafted. I saw the vid was 55minutes and thought “no way he got all this from 1 track…”
27minutes in, and I’m ALL THE WAY LOCKED IN
45 minutes in and it doesn't feel like 45 minutes
@@wedabestradi096 right. feels like a 15min vid and we need more
I saw a video about the sound at the beginning being a “Nebulizer” with the sound just tweaked a bit. Which I can say may be accurate since I had to use one when I was younger.
Another dope video Bro! Felt like I had to pay you for this 😂
Thanks. Appreciate it
Props for dropping the video at 6:16 LA Time.
Its only make sense ❤❤❤❤
No, it's 5:16 lol
An hour early
Fr
It wasn't LA time at all lol
I just imagine Kendrick watching your breakdowns smiling and Drake watching them aghast lol. You're the GOAT
Drake definitely mad about this one 😭😭😭
He told drake that he can even sneak diss better than him
I truly mean it when I say, that Kendrick not only knows and understands Drake better than he himself does, but Kendrick literally went to therapy as Drake, solved the issues, just to make his disses more thorough. Daniel Day Louis style lived out the life of Aubrey Graham, just for the sake of the diss. This is a new unheard of level of hate, Kendrick is correct he truly has redefined hate. Cain and Abel and Lucifer and God ain't even understand or comprehend the depths of hatred this deep. Let's face it Drake not gonna get most of this.
@@uprightaardvark Mannn would you stop lol. You sound like an obsessed groupie
I hate the way you sneak diss, so let me do exactly the same cause I hate it so much. This was the dumbest thing I ever heard. Dude sucks at rap.
That sound at the beginning of the track that you couldn’t figure out… I think that’s the sound in the Super Bowl announcement for Kendrick
20:15 That yatch millie bobby brown bar was so on point and went over all our heads except for drake. Now everybody finding out why Drake alluded to her in The heart part 6. 😅
He alluded to her because the internet has been making jokes about it for years. It wasn’t just a random reference
The deliberate choosing Al Green is that he’s from Grand Rapids, Michigan whose area code is 616.
It’s either Kendrick is super elaborate or god is on his side
@@leoaguilar8684 lol I honestly love this response because it’s the perfect reflection of everything Kdot has been saying about himself and this feud with Drake for the last 10 years. At this point, I think it’s fair to say that both things are true.
Savage
The way he thinks of all these little connections would have me mad as fuck if I were Drake😂
@@leoaguilar8684 I believe the latter pushed the former in him to think that far!, everything tied to 616
my gosh... THAT is an ACTUALLY explained diss. you didnt lie. thank you for feeding my brainrot about this song
Dude, this was real solid! You obviously worked real hard here and I applaud you. This was real good. Thank you👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I LOVE to see that the effort you put in is worth it. 250k views in 11 hrs definitely show the “moment” has not passed
KTW is a dodgy company based in London who deals with a lot of models. Drake has a song called Wick Man talking about partying with girls and one of the girls associated with the company died in Dubai.
I heard this too. Wonder if its true.
Also KTW= know the wires
@@LutherVandalsmmmmmmmm
KTW was Founded by Katy W. 🧐 who previously held an advisory board position at the Clinton foundation 🤔
Now I really see why Drake surrendered. Kendrick’s attention to detail needs to be studied. Absolute masterclass.
💯👊🤝
His and PAC lyrics are studied in colleges 🎉
“The industry is cooked as I tear the carcass apart” I read this as Kendrick saying the industry has removed all integrity from music and Drake is what you’re left with, the carcass. Kendrick is surgically dissecting the carcass of the music industry.
Bruh the amount of layers in each bar blows my mind. Kendrick must have been writing and updating these bars for years.
I agree Kendrick didn’t write these songs in a day he had these in the chamber for years .. which is Drake fault for them being unleashed because he begged Kendrick to drop 😂 the vault
I believe rappers, much like writers and artists, must have many notebooks with sketches and random ideas that pop up during the day. So when Kendrick realized where this was going, he could look back on stuff he'd done before and maybe work on it or use it as inspiration. Though I do believe he improvs a lot of stuff, rap battles can get someone really well trained to come up with lyrics quickly
@@heyitsmira17if you watch Dave rubin's interview on joe rogan, that's exactly how he describes eg Em's process
“Lucalis dwellings in Brooklyn, just to book me some pizza." “Pizza” is an FBI disclosed terminology for underage women. Brooklyn is Latto's lil sister who was dating Drake. "Make sure you hide your lil sister from him." 🤯🤯🤯 This shit just adds up so perfectly holy!
Bingo, I was waiting to see if someone was gonna catch that.
🤯
Oh my gosh
I was going to say that !! Just with out the Brooklyn Part
Reaching asf
“In order to do that, someone would need to watch all of her interviews.” Stares into camera and rolls clip of Kash Doll
I had to rewind to watch him deliver that twice 😂
Once again you drop the quality breakdown, not simply a rush to be the first or get the most clicks. I'm looking forward to the rest of the breakdowns because as a casual observer there is no way I could dive this deep into the various meanings in the songs - but I am aware they are there. Keep doing you man, I love the effort you put into these and it's why I keep coming back. 6;16 was honestly one of my favorite tracks of the entire beef, I love that first half.
