Easily my favorite record in the feud. Classic Kendrick style mixed with more of the Mr. Morale steeze, therapeutic ether. The Jay-Z Meet the Parents homage was nice as well.
Outside of pedophilia, all these items are glass houses for hip hop fans of all people to clutch pearls over.
Imagine this forum full of Future stans really getting mad at someone being a liar, womanizer, narcissist, deadbeat, using ghostwriters etc.
It's hard to play the morality card convincingly in a genre that makes celebrities out of murderers, drug dealers and strippers
I’m not even trying to be funny when I say this. Yall sound white. Very white. Expecting such a literal interpretation is the type of nuance-less take I’d expect from complex or Pitchfork
By your logic, the bytch in Yoo is disqualified bc, well we’re all hypocrites and Ice Cube never literally sold bean pies …Ether is disqualified bc, well we don’t have proof Jay z ‘kept his face in her puss’ ….’Nas has no proof jay z was abused as a child
‘. Story of Addidon is disqualified bc Drake’s BM isn’t literally a porn star...etcLike cmon man. Take that dense nerd shyt somewhere else. Good artistry is taking someone’s weakness and exploiting it. We’ve seen in 4k frame groom underage girls, so a peco jacket is fair game. We’ve seen Drake cringefully code switch and mock the same Toronto culture he would later emulate. So identity bars are fair game. It’s a bit low brow to listen to all that and be clueless wishing for “reciepts”. Drake himself is the receipt.
And to top it all off the music itself is masterful from one of the greatest producers of all time. Just say you not a hip hop head like that. That’s fine. There is plenty music for you on tik tok
Nah I know there are plenty that would but as a parent, I surmise the overwhelming majority of women would keep the gravy train rolling and their kid relatively safe.

Kenny dissected tf outta drake on MTG. And it had impact. Family matters had 0 impact on the beef

I dont care about drakes personal life enough to care about what the songs about plus its slow and boring. Horrible track.
I don't even want to prop up the song because it's so fukking dark, but it's an incredible achievement. There isn't another diss song that goes to the soul as deeply as Meet The Grahams. Speaking one by one to each family member to share the darkest aspects of their father/son in a manner that sounds like Kendrick believes every fukking word.
This isn't some collection of high school insults like almost all diss records. Even Ether, which was the gold standard for me, is still a long line of typically juvenile insults just brilliantly delivered. Hell, Not Like Us is basically juvenile as well. But these insults are thought out with a depth that most songwriters couldn't achieve. Directing them to his family members cuts that much deeper. And then Kendrick delivers it like he means everything he's saying.

Cole saw the writing on the wall from the jump, dude already feels guilty for cheating on his girl. He had to keep the rest of them skeletons in the closet.
That said, the airing of dirty laundry was inevitable and there is no way Adonis was not gonna be brought into this. Im very ok with it.
Its fair game on both sides and it made for an entertaining battleI’m not even trying to be funny when I say this. Yall sound white. Very white. Expecting such a literal interpretation is the type of nuance-less take I’d expect from complex or Pitchfork

A here we observe a very triggered stanley shytposting in its natural habitat.
Watch as it twists itself into knots trying to explain how its "white" to not pretend to be mad at a nikka for fukking women
The only disses from the beef that I run back are Euphoria and Family Matters.
I honestly have no idea why people love Not Like Us. To me, it's full of obvious insults that aren't really witty or funny (OV-Hoe, Certified Pedophile) and cringe bars (the A-Minor bar).
Well, that, and I hate west coast beats like that.

Meet the grahms is gonna go down as a Hail Mary ish type track but without the replay value because it was a diss song and talked about uncomfortable subjects. If Pac did a diss track to Biggie over Hail Mary it probably wouldn’t be as popular

Again, how was Kendrick "baited into rapping about a fake daughter", when there's articles floating around from 2015?
Rapper Drake may have a daughter
A Miami waitress has filed legal documents notifying the rapper and he has agreed to a paternity test
gulfnews.com
The article's talking about an alleged 2 year old daughter, which would mean she's 11 now in 2024.
Think about the article what you will, but there's no way the daughter was planted by Drakes camp just last month.
Just like I always say takeover was a better "record" than ether, you can't bop your head to ether the same was you can takeover, but it was the better "diss" for how disrespectful and scathing it was, he tore camel a new one hence Nas winning the beef imo 
nikka do your goofy ass even workout? Do you keep your windows down while driving to listen to what other people is listening to in their cars?
