" therapy is a lovely start but i suggest some ayuhaska strip the ego from the bottom " " the skin that you livin in is compromised the personas can't channel your masculine even standing next to a woman" What a masterpiece Drake was definitely crying and punching the air hearing that last segment 🤣💀
That’s the craziest part. Family Matters had genuinely good disses in it and took some good shots at Kendrick but no one talked about it cause meet the grahams was just another level…
@@JDGreen-vj7wx still don’t know how drake believes he won with the heart pt6. Pushups and Family matters were deadass good diss tracks and then he drops the heart pt 6 after and it sounds like a fat ass major downgrade from family matters lmaoo. Should’ve At least drop 2 disses to make up for the other one, like damn 😂😂
The entire song is a slow progression from sorrow to rage, and the "you lied" section is the fever pitch that resolves the entire thing. Kendrick and whoever made the track are master composers.
It’s wasn’t even the fact that Meet The Grahams dropped just 20 minutes after Family Matters, which in itself was still VERY impressive, it was the fact that Meet the Grahams changed the ENTIRE MOOD of the night. We all went from a supposed club banger with Family Matters, to a song that sucked all the energy, life and excitement out the air and instantly replaced it with a super dark and scary vibe, only for Kendrick himself to restore that hype and party vibe back with Not Like Us less than 24 hours later. This is one of my favorite moments in Hip Hop in all my nearly 37 years of life
Very very correct. Made all of us sit the fuck back down, listen. This is serious hate. Not a friendly fade that Jcole wanted. It’s insane the psychological play that Kendrick had pulled off. Not even looking at the personal messages on the song.
Now maybe the “lames” will leave him alone. He is not to be trifled with. Live your life King Kendrick. Thank you for everything, especially that Pop Out concert. 🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️🖤💚
“Therapy’s a lovely start, but I suggest some ayahuasca, strip the ego from the bottom.” Some of Kendrick’s best lines are not even crazy wordplay (though there is some in there) but just really hard-hitting and poetic statements that you feel.
It’s a line like that that makes me believe Kendrick really believes what he’s saying. Not on the womanising, predator, deadbeat accusations-he really means that Aubrey should heal his damn soul.
I like this line, specifically because Kendrick says "strip the ego from the bottom". Why? Well, the phrase "Therapy's a lovely start" makes us expect a rhyme later on the bar, but Kendrick subverts our spectations by ending the phrase with "bottom" instead of a word that rhymes with "start". "Heart" just so happens to rhyme with "start". Kendrick is saying Drake doesn't have a heart, just a void - a bottom, if you will.
Euphoria was a bullet wound, 6:16 was the shooter going to confessional before emptying the full AR15 on the dying body. Not like us was the funeral music for the opps 😂
I fr have heard “you lied!” Repeating in my dreams now. I’ve had a dream where Drake fell off the deep end and made a diss track on Akademiks. I’ve barely slept btw, that’s why I got such crazy dreams
Thank you Drake didn’t even have enough material about Kendrick to fill up a full 7 mins. And to fluff it up with bars about Ross, future, Rihanna, and ASAP. And it’s already been confirmed that he lied about Dave free so nah it’s a hard miss.
the moment euphoria dropped, it was already over.. dont wake up the boogeyan and then keep calling his name. random acts of kindness gave him plenty of opportunities to escape his death sentence.
JUST THE MELODY IS ALREADY MENACING ASF (EVEN THO I WAS A DRAKE FAN AND SUPPORTED HIM I ACCEPT THAT NOW KENDRICK IS COOKING HIM LIKE CRAZY I SWITCHED SIDES FRFR)
The song is played in A Minor (very clever Kdot) which is also used for, funnily enough, funerals Meet The Grahams is quite literally a funeral march listing Drake's sins
Honestly the back end of family matters was solid but again where Drake continued to mess up was trying to ride that 20v1 narrative cause some of his best lines were not even at Kendrick

You know what’s so damn funny, is that I said exactly the same thing with family matters and euphoria tying for first right before meet the grahams dropped. scaringly relatable
if you think those things tied, you need to fix your fuckin brain dude. I dont listen to kendrick or drake, literally just here ebcause this beef has been super popular and posted everywhere, but euphoria was much better.
You can tell bro is trying to grasp for straws for Drake like Drake does with minors. Sad to see when the man he's rootin' for gets beat down this hard and he still tries to find a positive.
Meet the graham's dropping in 20 mins or was the winning move Ig, cause even thou I hate drrrizy family matters was pretty solid and given time to gain some traction this would be a bit diff
In hindsight this was UNDENIABLY a losing battle for Drake from the moment he tried anything and topping it off with a hit like "Not like us" is insane
Was expecting the video to end with the colored version and the guy would be saying "So yea, Drake got em. Drake you got em good.............Wait did Kendrick drop?" ~video ends~
What made this track even more effective was just the sheer tonal conflict between family matters and this. It's like Drake pulling up at his home all hyped up thinking he's finally got Kenny pinned to find the man holding an intervention with his whole family
Bro, this part of the beef was like Drake getting ready for an intense battle with an extremely good diss, but just getting one shotted before he can even get in the flow of sh%% 😭😭😭😭😭😭
eh Not Like Us is alright but its not nearly as much of a gut punch as Meet the Grahams and Euphoria is more of a banger. The only thing Not Like Us really did was show he could beat Drake in raw numbers as well
"fuck a rap battle, this a long life battle with yourself"

Okay dude thats crazy-
I mean, that’s pretty much what meet the grahams and Not Like Us were.
Music aside, Kendrick dropping Meet the Grahams 20 minutes after Family Matters was my favorite part of this beef
ill be telling my kids about that night
Same
he had that shit on Private ready to set to public as soon as he heard about a drop 😭

The screams tho
Listening to it is sinister, couldn't imagine how scary it would be for drake, We know this dude is curdled up under the bed hiding in fear

meet the grahams was on some horror movie shit. verses so cold he didnt even need a beat...just a piano 💀
removing the bass and drums would be shatterrinnnggg
I like to imagine that K-dot just had this in storage and was waiting to drop it whenever Drake pissed him off enough.
in a folder labeled "if that little shit tries it"
Euphoria was a bullet wound, 6:16 was the shooter going to confessional before emptying the full AR15 on the dying body. Not like us was the funeral music for the opps 😂
Not like us was Kendrick pissing on the dead body 💀, there was no funeral.
Meet the Grahams was the coroner, Not like Us was the New Orleans funeral process dancing the casket down the street.
Euphoria was the response, 6:16 was the warning, Meet the Grahams was the murder, and Not Like Us was Kendrick dancing on Drake's grave
Not Like Us to me is Kendrick with a shovel over his shoulder while whistling and walking out of the graveyard.
i still cant believe people still think drake won
He win boy

The Legendary May 4th Incident
The force has indeed been awakend on that day. Sith lord kenny came out of the cellar to play.

It is almost like he is parodying a drake fans inner monologue!

random acts of kindness gave him plenty of opportunities to escape his death sentence.

The glazing is strong in this one.
This is so unrealistic. His haircut needs to be at least 325% more of a hooped up, 14 year old's vision of a Tom Selleck curly haired nightmare.
