KENDRICK Lamar has received praise from fans for his fourth diss track, Not Like Us, at Drake.
On Saturday afternoon, Kendrick, 36, continued his nasty feud with Drake, 37.
In the Not Like Us track, the Pulitzer Prize winner kickstarted the song with an over-the-top Southern accent.
“Pssst! I see dead people,” Kendrick whispered before calling out the Canadian rapper.
“Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young,” he rapped.
“You better not have to go to Cell Block One.”
“Sometimes you got to pop out and show Certified Boogeyman I’m the one up to score with him,” Kendrick dissed, referring to Drake’s 2021 album, Certified Lover Boy.
THE COMMENTS
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and crowned Kendrick as the winner of the musical battle.
“Kendrick, please, he’s already dead!” one fan cheered.
“Why is Kendrick still killing Darke even after we told him he’s already dead?” another fan gushed.
“Drake’s already dead, but Kendrick keeps shooting! Certified lover boy’s funeral is up!” a third fan suggested.
“Drake finished. Kendrick Lamar destroyed him,” a fourth person wrote.
“Again, Kendrick that’s four diss tracks in a total of five days. He’s already dead, please, Kendrick,” a commentator chimed, referring to the recent timeline of his diss tracks.
WAR OF WORDS
In the early Saturday morning hours, Kendrick released Meet the Grahams, a reference to Drake’s legal name, Aubrey Drake Graham.
“You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh, you lied about them other kids that’s out there hoping that you come,” the Money Trees rapper claimed.
Drake’s Diss Tracks
Here’s what Drake has said about Kendrick Lamar in his three diss tracks:
In mid-April, Drake used Push Ups to mock Kendrick’s small stature, specifically his foot size, in the cover art.
He also dissed Kendrick’s deal with Top Dawg Entertainment.
“Ay, I could never be nobody’s number-one fan. Your first number one. I had to put it in your hand,” Drake dissed.
Around that same time, Drake dissed Lamar with Taylor Made Freestyle.
Drake used A.I. vocals of Tupac and Snoop Dogg to mock Kendrick’s influences, including Taylor Swift.
“She Taylor-Made your schedule with Ant. You out of the loop. Hate all you corporate industry puppets. I’m not in the mood,” the lyrics stated.
In early May, Drake’s Family Matters sniped at Kendrick and his alleged fractured relationship with fiancee Whitney Alford, which he claimed is filled with infidelity.
“You the Black messiah wifing up a mixed queen. And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem. On some Bobby sh**, I wanna know what Whitney need,” he rapped.
“You got gambling problems, drinking problems, pill-popping and spending problems, bad with money, w***e house. Therapy’s a lovely start.”
On Friday, Kendrick dissed Drake once more with 6:16 in LA, slamming his song titles such as 8am in Charlotte and 5am in Toronto.
“Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it,” the 36-year-old trolled.
He also mentioned For Everybody rapper Kash Doll – whose ex-boyfriend broke up with her because of a photo she took with Drake.
This past Tuesday, at the end of April, Kendrick released Euphoria, alluding to Drake’s executive producer credits on the HBO drama.
In the song, he referenced Drake’s rumored altercation with Diddy, surgery rumors, Drake’s relationship with his son Adonis, and his friendship with Lil Wayne.
“I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he acts tough,” Kendrick mocked.
“I got a son to raise, but I can see you don’t know nothin’ ’bout that.”
In 2012, the two seemed on good terms as Kendrick played as the opening act for Drake’s Club Paradise Tour.
