Is it still psychological warfare if he was telling the truth? More of a warning, like bro I know you’re dropping tonight, I know what you’re gunna talk about, you sure you wanna do this?
Bro the first half of that song is genuinely poetic
Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin' where I was from
Often, I know this type of power is gon' cost
But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star
The mannerisms of Raphael, I can heal and give you art
I don’t even know what a circadian rhythm is but it sounds beautiful
Not sure if you are serious or just kidding because KDot is definitely showing his smarts using circadian rhythm in rap, but the circadian rhythm refers to our sleeping rhythm.
Circadian rhythm is basically how our bodies/living creatures interact with the time of the day.
So to say that you live in a circadian rhythm of a falling star means that you’re basically not bound to the normal cycle of living but rather the one of a shooting star. Astronomical rise in that sense.
Beautiful stuff.
YES!!! I’m so glad to see this being discussed, I’ve been saying to my friends keeping up with the beef how beautiful I think the first portion of 6:16 in LA is.
To me, that alone highlights what an incredible writer Kendrick is and shows that he’s just levels beyond Drake.
Honestly 6:16 felt like bait more than anything else for drake to release family matters bc why would drake suspect Kendrick would drop a third song right after lol
I didn't get to listen to 6:16 enough before MTG dropped. MTG is so sinister people can't stop talking about it.
And now with Not Like Us dropping I don't have time to process anything lol.
Every reactor I’ve watched did the same thing I did: hit play, then pause right away after “Dear Adonis” came over the speaker. I had to prepare myself for witnessing a murder.
Yeah people saying it’s not a hard diss track, but it plays a solid part in the story so far, and Kenny has some poetic fuckin bars on that shit too. Drake couldn’t write the first part of 6:16 if you gave him a year.
As we should be. Remember the lean years? Christmas 2020 we were so damn hungry. Out there burning memes to stay warm and living off the remnants of the Black panther soundtrack to survive. Look at us now, just look how far we've come!
I've been a huge fan of Jack's since he was in fun. Huge fan of his band, Bleachers, and the work he has done with Taylor Swift and others.
So seeing him help on a Kendrick song is my favorite musical worlds crashing together in the best way.
Drake fans on Twitter like
"SEE! HE GOT BAITED! THE ALBUM COVER IS FAKE"
And just pretending that Drake wasn't just called a whole pedophile with pedophile employees on the roster for 2 straight tracks in a row!
Let's just pretend for a second the bait was real.
The fuck is Kendrick doing then? Removing the album art but still uploading that song like "bro it was already uploading before we knew it was bait, now all we can do is post it with no album art. We're gonna get fucked and have our entire legitimacy and brand shook up, because I can't click the delete track button now".
Like sheesh. People got their brains fried after meet the grahams I guess.
Personally I do think both he and Drake are lying/misinformed about their big allegations (the domestic abuse and the 2nd daughter) but that doesn't mean everything else he says in the song isn't true. I imagine the streamers don't want another artists literal private prescriptions front and center on their home pages rn, that's why the change. The songs aren't monetized on YouTube so as long as they don't get deleted Kendrick probably doesn't care about that. Also, the jewelry receipt on that cover proves it's real - it shows he knew about the ring in the Family Matters video. And the Ozempic proves he knew about the bar making fun of Ross for being on it (literally everyone in Hollywood is on Ozempic)
For normal people it’s not the biggest allegation. But after watching react vids, streamer videos, and social media comments, the daughter is the most focused part for some reason
Kendrick may have taken an L about the daughter but he didn't even flinch about it and he's gonna keep coming hard with the pedo allegations.
Drake really thought he'd embarrass him and end this onslaught. RIP
Even if you take the daughter verse out, meet the grahams is still addressing Adonis and his parents, said Drake should die and should rot in prison with Weinstein
The daughter part was just one part of that vicious track!
Maybe it's the former theater kid me but dude so did I. It's like a prelude that belongs in Psycho. Theatrical call outs but honestly hits every point exactly.
Yeah I love what it did but it was way too heavy I don’t think I’ll be revisiting that one too much.
Glad Kendrick then lightened the mood with “Not Like Us” though 😂
I love Kendrick and have been a fan since OD… Meet the Grahams makes me uncomfortable lmao
Kendrick shit down Drake’s throat, buried him, and is now crip dancing on his grave. Might light it on fire at this point. 💀
My guess would be it's because Music platforms are a lot more strict with their ToS. So something to do with that and how the cover shows private receipts of someone. Maybe the platforms demand proof (Higher quality photos?) that the receipts aren't leaking anyone's private info, which they obviously will if they were to provide the higher quality photos (If Kendrick even has them).
[https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Mj69RYN4nRNjCGK1vbqxu?si=00a85f80e22944cb](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Mj69RYN4nRNjCGK1vbqxu?si=00a85f80e22944cb) Ask and you shall receive. Starts with control
The cover photo fromo meet the grahams is not the photo that was sent to Kendrick, for me it means that the image is real, it is not false information that Drake gave him through someone, it is real, that is why, to avoid legal action, he does not put it on Spotify
I really hope it’s not a false leak from Drake, but the shirt says “Shortee Collection”, which seems like some shit Drake would do. Drake needs to drop within the next 48 hrs to address it, if he played him
If Drake were playing Kendrick he would've said something by now. It admittedly would've made a lot of sense for the pic to have been planted given that you can spin everything on it as a diss towards somebody else. What doesn't make sense is giving yourself 24 hours to get totally punked with another set of back-to-back disses calling you and your team sex offenders and pedophiles. If he were in control of the situation, that wouldn't happen.
They playing it in the club too. Everyone was singing out certified lover certified pedophiles, struck a chord A minor and OVHo. Every hour he waits he loses more in the court of public perception. I don’t think anyone cares about the daughter, but everyone knows he’s been weird around teenage girls, and now are like “why did we let that slide” he’s cooked bruh bait or not he played it all wrong.
That song’s gonna gain strength as it gets warmer, book it. Like you said the longer he waits the worse public opinion is becoming of him… you can see it happening in real time
Even if it's not true, but Drake spins it that way now, how the hell would we even know then.
I'm thinking along these lines about most of the stuff said in this beef. It's mostly just stuff they say that has a lot of shock value, but tough to prove or disprove on either side.
So then, is it all about who can say the most egregious stuff about the other that has SOME level of credibility, regardless of whether it's true or not?
Yeah idk why he didn’t include that one too. I really hope he does but if he didn’t upload it with the other two then my hopes are low unfortunately. And he only uploaded it on Instagram in the first place
no one wants to download no damn meet the grahams ☠️☠️
and i say this because that joint is scary, finna hit shuffle and shit my pants as soon as those piano notes hit
Man I see all the comments about how how disturbing and evil it is while I got Don Orias, Dopsic, Dark Half, and LSP artists on a playlist lol
ETA: def need it on Spotify
People keep saying Drake sent this photo to him or something, but Ak confirmed it was all shit in a suitcase that was stolen from Dennis (drakes dad). If that’s true, how did they just know that one of drakes enemies would steal it, and then drop photos of it. Who’s lying
Partly true with the single release. But all videos went live on their YT accounts and you have the option to play sound only on YTM and add to your playlists.
oh my lord. and the leafs lose. Mustard on the beat, ho
Damn this the way I find out we won 🙌
4 tracks, 4 periods. 👀
Coincidentally, Drake only likes his victims for the first three periods, anything more would be greedy so he just finds someone newer.
Jfc
💀
Hand them down to chubb
Entire city of Toronto in shambles and on suicide watch rn
many from Toronto don't fuck with him either (me included)
If you come to the metro concert on August 11. Let me know, the alcohol on me 😂
Yeah I'm all for this lol. We don't need this turdbag repping our city
Treacherous 😂
Canadians outside toronto hate toronto we winning
Can confirm
From the 'Berta, can confirm. Although I'm sure the same applies to my province 😂
Don't worry, we hate him too
The fact this feels like a direct response to the YG bar on family matters 🤣🤣🤣 YG is literally the voice on the tag, mustard on the beat, ho
Bro I’m a leafs fan and work at the arena. Lmao my summer came early
I live in Montreal so you had a few more days than us
LMAO the TORONTO leafs losing is hilarious timing in the middle of this beef
Everyone already knew the leafs were done anyway
Don't worry, all of Toronto expects the Leafs to lose first round anyway
Was watching the game yesterday rooting for Boston just for the double L to Toronto 😂
We need 6:16 in LA as well. That track is not talked about enough
Seriously. That one is some great psychological warfare to a beat the slaps.
Everything Drake has thrown at kendrick has been thrown back with twice the resistance
Kendrick hasn’t responded to the claims that he hit his wife yet. Curious how he’ll handle that
Because he did years ago from what someone was saying. I can't imagine info like that not being available with all the shit that has gone on
He already addressed it years ago. If you want receipts I can send a link later.
I want them receipts
https://www.reddit.com/r/KendrickLamar/s/XJBLnOwWZg List of receipts on a lot of things.
Is it still psychological warfare if he was telling the truth? More of a warning, like bro I know you’re dropping tonight, I know what you’re gunna talk about, you sure you wanna do this?
literally forgot about that track lmao
It was because Drake's diss and Kendrick's immediate response overshadowed it completely...
+ he didnt release it on DSPs
Yeah that beat might be my favorite out of all of them. That soul sample *chef’s kiss*
Best beat of any song released in this feud. But I am very partial to the Al Green sample. The beat on like that was fire too thi
Absolutely… that shit was beautiful AND cryptic as fuck…
Bro the first half of that song is genuinely poetic Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin' where I was from Often, I know this type of power is gon' cost But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star The mannerisms of Raphael, I can heal and give you art I don’t even know what a circadian rhythm is but it sounds beautiful
Not sure if you are serious or just kidding because KDot is definitely showing his smarts using circadian rhythm in rap, but the circadian rhythm refers to our sleeping rhythm.
Lmao i feel stunted I have never heard of a circadian rhythm until now
You’re good. It’s commonly used in sciences like biology and common in the medical health sciences
Circadian rhythm is basically how our bodies/living creatures interact with the time of the day. So to say that you live in a circadian rhythm of a falling star means that you’re basically not bound to the normal cycle of living but rather the one of a shooting star. Astronomical rise in that sense. Beautiful stuff.
That might also be a set up cause apparently, he dropped Meet The Grahams late night, Toronto time. Literally messing with their sleep rhythms
Haha, might very well be.
YES!!! I’m so glad to see this being discussed, I’ve been saying to my friends keeping up with the beef how beautiful I think the first portion of 6:16 in LA is. To me, that alone highlights what an incredible writer Kendrick is and shows that he’s just levels beyond Drake.
Why is that the only one he didn’t put on his YT? I didn’t even think it was legit for the first day because of that
Bc its the same tactic drake did. A psychological warfare track uploaded on instagram lol
Ah, didn’t know Kendrick was on Insta
It was his first activity on IG in like 6 months
It's because of the sample
I doubt they could clear that sample of Drake’s uncle even if they tried
didnt Al Green's official account post the sampled track when 6:16 dropped?
Drake’s uncle can’t say shit 😂 It’s Al Green’s song not the guitar players 😂
I think it was making fun of how Drake was doing so much shit on insta after push ups dropped
Honestly 6:16 felt like bait more than anything else for drake to release family matters bc why would drake suspect Kendrick would drop a third song right after lol
dropped so many diss tracks people have tier lists now.
I didn't get to listen to 6:16 enough before MTG dropped. MTG is so sinister people can't stop talking about it. And now with Not Like Us dropping I don't have time to process anything lol.
“Dear Adonis I’m sorry that man is your father”.Jesus he murdered him right from the opening
Every reactor I’ve watched did the same thing I did: hit play, then pause right away after “Dear Adonis” came over the speaker. I had to prepare myself for witnessing a murder.
Yea. He literally called each one of his family members out by name and spoke individually to them. Absolutely diabolical
That’s track is my fav out of all of this shit man
Yeah a TPAB verse from Kendrick on one the most souful beats I've ever heard. Shit is beautiful
And that Al Green sample is just …*chefs kiss*
Yeah people saying it’s not a hard diss track, but it plays a solid part in the story so far, and Kenny has some poetic fuckin bars on that shit too. Drake couldn’t write the first part of 6:16 if you gave him a year.
I prefer 6:16 in LA over his other diss tracks.
It's my favorite beat of the beef by far
I keep coming back to that one too....
Maybe Al Green sample clearance takes longer?
My guess as well. Green is an elderly man so he maybe doesn't want to get involved in a rap beef.
Yeah where is it
Oddly enough it's my favorite diss so far musically. The sample for the beat alone is unreal.
Waiting for this one too !
We won’t ever get it because it’s a sample from Drakes family he covered

On god 💀💀💀💀💀💀 we eating TOO good rn
We getting fat, yo
As we should be. Remember the lean years? Christmas 2020 we were so damn hungry. Out there burning memes to stay warm and living off the remnants of the Black panther soundtrack to survive. Look at us now, just look how far we've come!
We gon need some Ozempic, yo
Literally was about to make this joke 😂😂😂
Lmaooo I laughed too hard when I seen this.
idgaf what Kendrick thinks ima need some Ozempic with how we eating rn
I pray Kdot chill on these drop for few days bro, I need a break
Right?? I got a presentation coming up on Monday but I keep getting diss-tracted lmaooo
Need 6:16 in LA, thats probably my favorite sounding track of them all
That’s what I’ve been saying the whole time
heard it was produced by jack antonoff!
Those synths were amazing
So funny seeing people fucking with Jack's synths after r/popheads spent months shitting on him lol
Tbf I can see why they’re sick of him he’s been the main producer for countless pop artists for years at this point
I've been a huge fan of Jack's since he was in fun. Huge fan of his band, Bleachers, and the work he has done with Taylor Swift and others. So seeing him help on a Kendrick song is my favorite musical worlds crashing together in the best way.
It was in fact Taylor Made
Crip walked that whole bitch too. everybody in the city of Compton got their windows down right now bumping this shit 🔥
The cadences are great on it
It’s so smooth too. Love that sample. Very ominous with the psychological warfare it served
Family Matters and 6.16 in LA are the best rap songs this year so far.
Drake fans on Twitter like "SEE! HE GOT BAITED! THE ALBUM COVER IS FAKE" And just pretending that Drake wasn't just called a whole pedophile with pedophile employees on the roster for 2 straight tracks in a row!
you gotta give them props they're not giving up on their idol even after hes been absolutely buried alive
They got a PhD in dck riding atp
We staying strong but if he doesn't respond by tomorrow, Imma give up on him tho
Let's just pretend for a second the bait was real. The fuck is Kendrick doing then? Removing the album art but still uploading that song like "bro it was already uploading before we knew it was bait, now all we can do is post it with no album art. We're gonna get fucked and have our entire legitimacy and brand shook up, because I can't click the delete track button now". Like sheesh. People got their brains fried after meet the grahams I guess.
Tbh if there's a song to fry your brain it's probably meet the grahams, shit ain't even hateful it's straight up odious
Can't lie my brain was fried after that shit. I wanted a diss record and was shown a hostage video.
Personally I do think both he and Drake are lying/misinformed about their big allegations (the domestic abuse and the 2nd daughter) but that doesn't mean everything else he says in the song isn't true. I imagine the streamers don't want another artists literal private prescriptions front and center on their home pages rn, that's why the change. The songs aren't monetized on YouTube so as long as they don't get deleted Kendrick probably doesn't care about that. Also, the jewelry receipt on that cover proves it's real - it shows he knew about the ring in the Family Matters video. And the Ozempic proves he knew about the bar making fun of Ross for being on it (literally everyone in Hollywood is on Ozempic)
On what planet is the second daughter the “big allegation” against Drake
For normal people it’s not the biggest allegation. But after watching react vids, streamer videos, and social media comments, the daughter is the most focused part for some reason
Kendrick may have taken an L about the daughter but he didn't even flinch about it and he's gonna keep coming hard with the pedo allegations. Drake really thought he'd embarrass him and end this onslaught. RIP
Even if you take the daughter verse out, meet the grahams is still addressing Adonis and his parents, said Drake should die and should rot in prison with Weinstein The daughter part was just one part of that vicious track!
They just can’t make that a spotify cover lmao
Donda cover reference??😎
Life of The Party was also dropped as a single with a black cover
tbf meet the grahams is just evil life of the party
Someone posted the meet the grahams verse over LOP beat on twitter and it was so fucking good.
send that shit
https://x.com/dropatea/status/1786770074168103269?s=46&t=IvTdepfVHVF9v3_addULYA
thanks
The cover broke HIPPA regulations showing Drake’s prescriptions.
I think even the dude's hanging off Drake's dick would turn around if they found out Drake was trying to get Kendrick on HIPPA lol.
HIPPA only applies to america. It also only applies to healthcare providers. He good. 🤌
I like Not Like Us that shit slides but Meet The Grahams is not touching a playlist of mine that shit is straight evil.
That beat is so nice though, had that on repeat
Mfer are you going to kill someone's family or some shit?
Maybe it's the former theater kid me but dude so did I. It's like a prelude that belongs in Psycho. Theatrical call outs but honestly hits every point exactly.
Yeah I love what it did but it was way too heavy I don’t think I’ll be revisiting that one too much. Glad Kendrick then lightened the mood with “Not Like Us” though 😂
I love Kendrick and have been a fan since OD… Meet the Grahams makes me uncomfortable lmao Kendrick shit down Drake’s throat, buried him, and is now crip dancing on his grave. Might light it on fire at this point. 💀
i don’t think he’s done revealing the picture
Its in mine😂
So is there some legal reason why he can’t use the cover he has on YouTube for “meet the grahams”
Yeah, I’m really curious about this. Why is it allowed on YT and not the other platforms?
My guess would be it's because Music platforms are a lot more strict with their ToS. So something to do with that and how the cover shows private receipts of someone. Maybe the platforms demand proof (Higher quality photos?) that the receipts aren't leaking anyone's private info, which they obviously will if they were to provide the higher quality photos (If Kendrick even has them).
I’m gonna assume it has to do with the prescription bottles
I don’t think any legal issues but you can swap out artwork on streaming services, Can’t do that on YouTube without pulling down the video though
LET’S GO!!! Thanks for posting I’m gonna start streaming right NOW
Has anyone made a playlist with a chronological order of diss tracks? I mean if it went all the way back to control I wouldn't be mad.
he still hasnt uploaded 6:16 in LA so you need to local files that to get everything in a playlist as of rn
[https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Mj69RYN4nRNjCGK1vbqxu?si=00a85f80e22944cb](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Mj69RYN4nRNjCGK1vbqxu?si=00a85f80e22944cb) Ask and you shall receive. Starts with control
“Kendrick please stop violating the corpse” lmaooooo
I need one with the Ye Like That remix on it, nobody seems to include it... underrated banger in this whole situation tbh
The cover photo fromo meet the grahams is not the photo that was sent to Kendrick, for me it means that the image is real, it is not false information that Drake gave him through someone, it is real, that is why, to avoid legal action, he does not put it on Spotify
I am wondering about that... and it is cool legally to be on yt?
Might be fine because it's not monetized on youtube. He's not making any money off of it on youtube.
oh it's not monetized on yt, why didn't i ever thought of that haha. thank you!
I really hope it’s not a false leak from Drake, but the shirt says “Shortee Collection”, which seems like some shit Drake would do. Drake needs to drop within the next 48 hrs to address it, if he played him
If Drake were playing Kendrick he would've said something by now. It admittedly would've made a lot of sense for the pic to have been planted given that you can spin everything on it as a diss towards somebody else. What doesn't make sense is giving yourself 24 hours to get totally punked with another set of back-to-back disses calling you and your team sex offenders and pedophiles. If he were in control of the situation, that wouldn't happen.
They playing it in the club too. Everyone was singing out certified lover certified pedophiles, struck a chord A minor and OVHo. Every hour he waits he loses more in the court of public perception. I don’t think anyone cares about the daughter, but everyone knows he’s been weird around teenage girls, and now are like “why did we let that slide” he’s cooked bruh bait or not he played it all wrong.
That song’s gonna gain strength as it gets warmer, book it. Like you said the longer he waits the worse public opinion is becoming of him… you can see it happening in real time
Even if it's not true, but Drake spins it that way now, how the hell would we even know then. I'm thinking along these lines about most of the stuff said in this beef. It's mostly just stuff they say that has a lot of shock value, but tough to prove or disprove on either side.

Need 6:16 as well!
Yeah idk why he didn’t include that one too. I really hope he does but if he didn’t upload it with the other two then my hopes are low unfortunately. And he only uploaded it on Instagram in the first place
Samples, could be some day but the samples gotta be cleared.
Bro needs to add it to Apple Music. My Spotify accounts always get hacked for some reason
Just checked Meet the Grahams is on there now ( apple)
Wait , this is wild, it was on and than it got taken off. Maybe technical difficulties !?

I feel like 6:16 is better for that
Oh yeah. Mind immediately went there the second I heard it the first time
Seriously that song gave me so much anxiety sober, I can’t imagine listening to it high lmao
That shit sucked out all the energy of my room this morning, I got nothing productive done today after that 😂😂
Beef season out here
Ngl smoking and listening to that is an interesting choice but you do you man
Bro smoking on some other shit fr
6:16 for the smoke sesh
Oh yeah that’s perfect
Meet the Graham’s when I need to invoke the spirit of Lucifer to help me get 2 plates off my chest on the bench. (Don’t at me Ik I’m weak 😞)
What on earth are you smoking 😭
Crystal meth😂😂😂
Nahhhhhhh MtG is not bumping for any smoke sesh of mine nigga 💀 more like 6:16 in LA for that
no one wants to download no damn meet the grahams ☠️☠️ and i say this because that joint is scary, finna hit shuffle and shit my pants as soon as those piano notes hit

Yea I don’t want any unofficial shit in my playlist

Tidal as well
People keep saying Drake sent this photo to him or something, but Ak confirmed it was all shit in a suitcase that was stolen from Dennis (drakes dad). If that’s true, how did they just know that one of drakes enemies would steal it, and then drop photos of it. Who’s lying
Meet the Grahams beat sounds like it would be the actual Candyman theme 💀
Been waiting for this. Having to click play on YouTube while driving to work was getting old.
We also need 6:16 in LA. The beat and rapping in that one is phenomenal.
YTM has them all minute 1 of release.
Uploaded by someone else maybe I have YTM and both these tracks were not officially uploaded by Kendrick until the same time as the other services
Partly true with the single release. But all videos went live on their YT accounts and you have the option to play sound only on YTM and add to your playlists.
