Kendrick Lamar warned he’d get back to Drake’s ‘Back To Back‘ behavior and kept his promise by dropping off another Drake diss “6:16 In LA”.
When Drake dropped “Taylor Made Freestyle” he begged Kendrick Lamar to respond to his previous diss track “Push Ups“. You know what they say, be careful what you wish for because Kendrick Lamar is outside on the block and making his rounds. Earlier this week he delivered a couple of jabs on his first diss record “Euphoria“.
The record questioned Drake’s blackness, and parenting skills while hinting at another diss record soon.
“Try cease and desist on the “Like That” record? /Ho, what? You ain’t like that record? /”Back To Back,” I like that record /I’ma get back to that, for the record /Why would I call around tryna get dirt on n****s? Y’all think all my life is rap? /That’s ho sh*t, I got a son to raise, but I can see you don’t know nothin’ ’bout that”
Kung Fu Kenny kept his word and spun the block this morning with “6:16 In LA”according to Billboard. The name alone has several meanings as 6/16 is Father’s Day, 2Pac’s birthday, bural date of Nicole Brown Simpson, the Start of OJ’s trial, and the date Euphoria premiered on HBO. Drake asked for all the entendres and Kendrick is delivering them before the music even starts. Also, the entire record is Kendrick pulling a Drake on Drake himself.
Also, the track was produced by Taylor Swift’s producer Jack Antonoff. To make it even messier Kenny hints someone from OVO could be a double agent.
“Have you ever thought that OVO is workin’ for me? /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 outta this one, it’s just gon’ resurface /Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose /It was fun until you started to put money in the streets /Then lost money ’cause they came back with no receipts /I’m sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace”
Kendrick revealed Drake has money in the streets attempting to get dirt on him like he did Pusha T but Kenny is a simple man and a homebody. Just like Drake said Kenny can’t avoid this conflict he is reminded from his opposition the same goes for him.
“If you were street-smart, then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you /A hundred n****s that you got on salary /And twenty of ’em want you as a casualty /And one of them is actually next to you /And two of them is practically tired of your lifestyle /Just don’t got the audacity to tell you /But let me tell you some game ’cause I can see you, my lil’ homie /You playin’ dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya /You’re playin’ nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots”
The short diss track seeks to invoke paranoia within the OVO circle alleging Kendrick has compromised someone on Drake’s team. Allegedly Drake was set to release a response last night but changed his mind after TDE-adjacent figures spoiled his release.
Furthermore, Kendrick addressed all the social media bots attacking anyone mentioning his name. Kenny claims Drake and Zack Bia are dirty propaganda pushers. The beef has been in the pot and it’s almost time for the championship rounds. Drake is on the clock but if history is correct we know he’s on the way to respond as we speak.
