How do yall not get this? They can hold anything over you when they wanna knock you down a peg. It doesn't matter.
They've been trading snipes this whole time. Hov dissed Mase and people didn't know for like a decade.
This is high level diss records over hit songs.
People were saying Kendrick's last album was his worst one and just on some corny therapy shyt and Drake has been mocking kendrick's "too good to just rap" steeze for a minute.
Kendrick says I bop like Tin Men...could be a self deprecating line to make fun of himself...then he contrasts it by saying forget me being robotic ...the OPPS NEEED TEN MEN... as if drake ghostwriting needs help.
Fam, HER LOSS...then Kendrick goes "if she she's stressed over you she stressed for nothing"...WHAT?
Kendrick usually raps a bunch of random lines...but he's CLEARLY talking to someone this time. SOMETHING.
WHO???
Ma$e Addresses JAY-Z Subliminally Dissing Him On ‘Imaginary Players’
There's been a rumor going around for years that JAY-Z subliminally dissed Ma$e on 'In My Lifetime, Vol. 1' track "Imaginary Players," and the Harlem native is clearing the air once and for all.hiphopdx.com
I agree Kendrick is talking about Drake, for sure. And Drake has sent subs at Kendrick many times, I just don't know if I buy that latest one is about Kendrick.
The tin men thing was a Wizard Of Oz reference imo. Tin Men...heart. My heart keeps my music alive, you need ten men/ghostwriters to keep you alive.
We'll see where it goes. Kendrick clearly knew about the ghostwriters before everyone, publicly at least. I haven't confirmed it but I'm about 95% sure Eminem or someone in his camp at Shady told him.

He dissed Kanye on king kunta because of him being taken advantage of on the tour.
Go back to being banned goddamn. You act lso condescending when people disagree with you.
Daddy issues kept me competitive, that’s a fact, n***a /
I don’t give a fukk what’s the narrative, I am that n***a /
When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused /
Guess I’m not as mature as I think, got some healin’ to do /

What does that song have to do with king kunta and Kanye taking Kendrick on tour to get him to write for him and distracting from the album to the point his team didn't want him to do it and had that nikka backstage eating lunchables and shyt
Kendrick: GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST LIKE A BREAST REDUCTION
He's saying Drake should say his name and drop the "feminine traits"
Guys. This is a direct shot.

This isn't true. Kendrick was working with Kanye heavily just a few years ago. They got like 20 tracks over Madlib beats that we'll prob never hear, around the Pablo era. The Kanye tour was a net positive and they didn't have problems.
That line about Drake/Kanye wasn't a diss, it was Kendrick discussing his own issues and needing more therapy.

Lmao so Kendrick doesn't have a series called The Heart. You tripping big time.
He was shooting at Drake on that song imo. I'm also sure Drake was shooting at him too.

Kendrick Lamar, Hip-Hop’s Newest Old-School Star (Published 2014)
The young M.C. is on a quest to become the best rapper in the world.
TDE didn't want him on that tour and only did it because Kanye wouldn't take no for an answer because he wanted Kendrick to write for him.
There's footage of them talking about how awkward it was and didn't benefit them the way they thought it would be as a mentor/mentee relationship and Ye barely interacted with him and had him eating lunchables
Kendrick Lamar is Tired of Eating Lunchables
What was Kendrick eating backstage during Kanye West's Yeezus Tour? Calamari? Caviar? Cake? Nope.

Once again, no idea why you two are bringing up that song from Mr morale when I literally said king kunta twice
To the point:
Kendrick’s Secret Kanye Diss
<p>The hot new track off Lamar’s critically hailed album <i>To Pimp a Butterfly</i> appears to call out his sometime collaborator and tour mate.</p>
And then Kendrick came out and said it wasn't about ye or Drake but about "up and coming rappers". But there's reason to believe because of the tour and Kendrick actually writing some of all day but Theo saying he only helped with flows.

You're conflating things. That's TDE management being losers, as usual, and they're no longer in the picture. Kendrick is still cool with Kanye - or was until the recent antics. Years after the tour they damn near did three albums worth of music together. The article you posted features multiple Kendrick comments about being fine with the tour.
The Kunta bar was not only obviously about Drake, he made it even more clear at the Hot 97 Summer Jam lmao.
