Kendrick Lamar - Meet The Grahams (Drake Diss)

[Dynamite James]

neither of drakes songs are better than euphoria.meet the grahams was the nail in the coffin.The handful of people I’ve talked to offline all say Kendrick washed drake ,only on this forum is it “a tie or drake won” y’all trollin at this point.all the polls I saw(twitter,xxl,akademiks) Kendrick was winning & a couple were landslides. I don’t know wtf y’all talking about

Breh. I’m scared to revisit “meet the grahams” heard that song once last night and said it was over That record is incredible

You heard a song you thought was incredible and decided to not listen again? Make it make sense

FD Signifier said that although he doesn't consider Kendrick to be an elite lyricist (Like Lupe, Jay, Nas) he says that Kendrick is greatest song writer in hip hop history and that's what won him the beef

meet the grahams was a masterfully crafted piece of work

I hate when folks say stuff like that when lyricism = songwriting

It's like they forget the point of wordplay, metaphors, punchlines, and storytelling

You’re so dense you can’t put two and two together. “Meet the grahams” was so scathing. It wasn’t a typical drake track like how “family matters “ was. Drake whole response I could have used AI for drake and made that record

I wouldn't go as far as this fate of rap is in play take but I do agree that Kendrick and Drake represent each side of rap music.

I usually don't but I've watched some youtube reactions to both latest disses and youtubers were usually bopping and vibing to Drake's track while they had to sit and listen to pay attention to Kendrick's lyrics (granted MTG ain't a track to bop to )

I feel the rap fans who grew up with the genre or went to college in the 2010s do not value lyrics as much as they do beats and flows. In a sense, they see rap more as pop music that you can enjoy because the beats and the flows carry a song efficiently.

That's how I explain the popularity of Drake, Future, Gunna, Thug, Duck, YoungBoy and others who are nice with melodies but don't really rap (to me at least). It also feels like this sentiment has now taken over most media/publications.

Most reactors were like "I don't know who's winning !" even though they all acknowledged MTG cut way deeper. And I'm sitting there like how is it a tie then ???

People separating criticism of the songs as "drake's is more listenable but ..." is incredibly disingenuous. This has never been the metric in previous diss songs. People just making an exception for Kendrick because the songs feel more like homework than something people would want to put on.

People didnt have put Hit em Up, Takeover, ether, Checkmate etc in a separate category, between songs people want to blast in their car versus whats "lyrical." Family Matters does both in the same vein as diss songs in the past but now people are judging rap songs based on a criteria they never do for 99% of songs in general.

What's Drakes record in battles now? I'm trying to see how he matches up with other "GOATS"

 

[Torrential]

Of course the beef is over. Where else is this supposed to go?

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Fam that’s a boy lol, Kendrick said he has a daughter

He has more than two
