because those lines are generic af. you would have to work really hard to connect it to drake. if its actually a sneak diss, its not a good one worth talking about

this an example of a sneak diss that's slick while clearly referencing a specific person

You overnight celebrity, you one-day star
Swear I told you that I'm in this b**** for eternity
I am a reflection of all of your insecurities
Behind closed doors, a lot of 6 God worshiping

there are double entendres in there that connect to specific person while still being slick. no reaching required

or this one

Niggas makin' threats and I laugh, that's 'cause you ain't a threat
Don't ask how I feel 'bout no rappers, s***, they okay, I guess
Incomin' call, press the button, the one that say accept
He FaceTime to ask for a feature and saw the face of death

the point is if we're going to talk about all thsese lines of them dissing each other, we should prolly acknowledge that either we're reaching hard or the lines aren't that directly clever. they require the audience to make up their own narratives

You wouldn’t know those were about Tory if not for their prior history informing the line, same s*** with the Kendrick bars. It gets to a point of common sense

This is not the bill to nitpick on to discredit Kendrick, there’s plenty of other ones

Well no. Radio plays what they want at the end of the day. A lot of radio is payola anyway.

it would maybe work if its in gnx because of the beef and even then its still could be attributed to the savior complex thing that kendrick has been on since tpab. on drake's diss, he literally mentions tory's name "daystar" and his album name "i told you". very direct while still using double entendres to be clever.

kendrick and drake never had any struggle then that phrasing like "The struggle for the right side of history" correctly portrays. again, it requires the listeners to create their own narratives. if this is considered a lyrical diss by kendrick, the bar has been lowered

do you know what foreshadowing is?

cmon man. isn't kendrick supposed to be a great lyricist. why am i the one that's expecting more from him when i'm not even a fan

This entire post is stupid. Wait till tomorrow if you really want to see Taylor Swift's name in the thread title that badly.

taylor got goons everywhere

Well obviously they can play whatever they want, but if they want people to listen they will play what people want to listen to, of course payola exists, but I couldn’t pay them to play a song I just made yesterday

Are you denying that NLU and Luther transcended just being enjoyed by Kendrick fans?

Element also had some Drake disses.

Diplomatic immunity had a bar for Kendrick in response

Blue man being triggered at people giving followers to Kendrick is hilarious

It’s just rap nigga

Talking about the student pride bar?

Yeah

Post it, which one?

Imaging thinking there's a conspiracy going on because I haven't updated the thread to reflect Taylor's name when everything is detailed in OP about when HDD posts updates and when I do the same. This is how I've run this thread for over 3 years now btw lol smh.

the fact that drake can say this and it's attributed as a kendrick diss is goat s***

It’s attributed as a Kendrick diss because U and I are Kendrick songs and Drake took him on his first tour. Pretty obvious

well yeah, its obviously a kendrick diss. i'm just saying there's a tacit acknowledgement of their levels there

How did that work for him last year

Also your post doesn’t imply that it’s obviously a Kendrick diss.

its actually insane how that one diplomatic immunity line has a triple entendre and people get confused on why i consider drake the goat

And he sent shots on element because of the video that drake and game shot for 100. “Wanna be in LA and flex on me for free huh?”

Right?

he was as always lyrically better than his opponent. my only mark against him is that he entered a 20v1 while thinking lyrisicm matters in a rap battle he's involved in.

He got out rapped

nah
