Damn, it’s “Like That”?
Kendrick Lamar has some strong opinions on Drake and J. Cole and he’s making that clear on a new track.
Metro Boomin’ and Future finally delivered the first installment of their long-awaited collaborative project We Don’t Trust You and leading up to the project, social media assumed Drake was the person “they didn’t trust.”
As it turns out; the assumptions were right.
Fans speculated that Futuer sent subliminal shots Drake’s way on the track “Like That”, but Kendrick Lamar went after Drake and his light-skinned brother J. Cole directly. Kendrick, Drake, and J. Cole have been called the “big three” but according to Kendrick, that’s inaccurate because he has the top spot.
Kendrick empties his first clip on J. Cole for the audacity to link up with Drake and mention his name on their single “First Person Shooter.” As far as the Big Three goes, Kenny makes it clear he doesn’t think the light-skinned picnic duo is on his level. As he reloads he turns his attention to Drake and all his Michael Jackson chatter from the same record. Perhaps his best wordplay in years comes with a stern reminder to Drake that Prince outlived MJ.
“I crash out, like, “F*ck rap,” diss Melle Mel if I had to /Got 2TEEZ with me, I’m snatchin’ chains and burnin’ tattoos, it’s up /Lost too many soldiers not to play it safe /If he walk around with that stick, it ain’t Andre 3K /Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD /Motherf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me /N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that /And your best work is a light pack /N***a, Prince outlived Mike Jack’ /N***a, bum, ‘fore all your dogs gettin’ buried /That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary / N***a, bum
For Drake, he makes sure to reference his latest release For All The Dogs, and promises the Canadian’s demise. This is a rather tall task but a blind man could see the bait from a mile away.
Also, On Drake’s latest offering “Stories About My Brother” he hinted this day was coming and he welcomed it.
“Wait on whoever to say whatever, they quiet as f**k /The city don’t love you like that and they fryin’ you up /I can’t wait for the day that you choose to retire your stuff /Takin’ off the sneakers ’cause you tired of tyin’ ’em up /That one day you wake up and tell ’em “Enough is enough” /That’s how you gon’ find out you not Kobe Bryant to us /Man, you not Kobe Bryant to us, at all”
If Drake was truly talking to Kenny, saying he won’t be remembered in history like Kobe Bryant is grounds for war. Surely he expected shots in return as the only battle-tested rapper out of the bunch. This isn’t the last of the subliminal disses but for now, we await a response.
