Kendrick Wins This Round

By adopting the accent (crodie) and slang I feel like he got close to drake's family while not really mentioning anything about them. Making the dont speak in the family threat that much threatening 😂. It's like calling your mom the name that only people in your household call her by. Or putting my hand on your son's shoulder but not actually hurting him. Like if he was speaking to a samoan he'd say don't speak in the family ous.😂 He even ends it by saying I be at the New Ho king (restaurant in Toronto) eatin fried rice with a dip sauce and a blammy (gun) crodie. Bringing him closer to Toronto/drakes family, with a gun (I think lyrically) ready to do damage. Genius says this is a hint that dot can go anywhere in the world including Canada even with the crodies "crips Canada version". He can go to Canada but drake has to check in when he comes to Compton or get extorted as soon as he gets off the plane. I don't think it's meant to be literal though. Not to say it's intended by dot but it's a nice feeling to it. Either way I like the picture it paints, that if you talk about my family I'll harm (talk bad about) yours. It's a threat.

[@KINGLOTUS_]

23:56 Kendrick getting them mixed up was most definitely on purpose, cause he seemingly says Joe-hale Osteen to initally reference both of them, then using the AI reference to connect both of them (Joel Osteen has been replicated by AI a lot and Haley Joel was in a movie called AI), the Sixth Sense reference to hint to Haley Joel specifically, the mixup is purposeful because he "doesn't know if he's fighting ghosts (Haley Joel) or AI (Joel Osteen)"

[@FerventAstronomy]

Been scrolling looking for this correction lol. Melon’s the one who was in a rush I think.

[@sajikun101]

I was looking for this comment too 😅

[@cdsackett]

That is a massive reach, and we know you got it from the genius lyrics meaning section, bc nobody would’ve thought that on their own, since Joel Osteen is not known for being replicated by AI.

[@Itsalwayscloudyincleveland]

So lets get it straight. Kendrick does say Joel Hale Osteen, seemingly conflating Haley Joel Osment and Joel Osteen. However both people have a history with AI (Haley Joel Osment being in the film Artificial Intelligence and Joel Osteen being replicated by AI) and a history with ghosts (Haley Joel Osment being in Sixth Sense which Kendrick references, and Joel Osteen being perceived as a con artist claiming he's the Holy Ghost). It's funny because if you look at it from the perspective of referencing Osteen it's about being a fake (he was faked by AI and he's accused of being a fake Holy Ghost). If you look at it from the perspective of referencing Haley Joel Osment, those are to be taken more truthful, the film AI is literally about real AI, and the Sixth Sense is about a kid who can literally talk to ghosts. All of that being said, if he purposefully conflated them I don't like how he phrased the line "Funny he was in a film called AI" because that signifies he is only referring to Haley Joel Osment and not Osteen. There is no way you can interpret that line for Osteen. I think if he let the bar remain more ambiguous then I can believe it was intentional to conflate them. But it honestly feels like he just confused both guys and mistakenly combined their names. lol

[@user-yj7cu5sk2w]

yup, also when you just consider the type of mf that Joel Osteen is- he’s a massive fake that’s only in the business for the wealth and popularity, much like drake.

No he just says the wrong person. It happens when you write a song with no other writers. He even references both Sixth Sense and A.I. which have Haley Joel Osment. Melon is right, the line just kinda fits better with Haley.

[@ImTheMayor]

[@SuperNuclearUnicorn]

I swear the only reason anyone thinks Drake won is either they didn't listen to the songs or they have different standards for Kendrick and Drake.

[@greg-lm2md]

Don’t forget it took Drake longer to respond than Kendrick but people kept saying Dot loss because his response wasn’t 10 minutes later. Edit: Like That dropped March 22nd, Drake responded April 13th which is 22 days and Kendrick took 17 but apparently being 5 days quicker with a better song means you loss. Go figure! Drake fans smoking the craziest copium/hopium right now.

i know drake fans will call it glazing but i agree. i think if he knew two movies from the guy, it’s unlikely that he didnt google his name at any point lol, and having it be more of a “i cant tell who im even fighting” type of moment makes sense in the context.

[@R.A.M.10]

Osteen was imitated by AI once before. It made big news and everything. Joel was the kid from 6th sense who saw ghosts (dead people) and who also played in AI. Osteen, being a minister or whatever, is one that leads people to accept and believe in and follow the holy Ghost. It was an intentional twist up of the names that Kendrick was using to juxtapose against the question in the previous bar: which one am I up against? It's actually quite clever.

for anyone curious, the joel osteen bar was completely intentional, and it is actually the quintuple entendre drake was coaxing kendrick to drop. explanation below: 1. ofc, the bar references ghostwriters and fighting them but also that the tracks could be written by ai, and he doesn’t know which he’s fighting 2. tupac passed away so drake is using the ai of a ghost 3. “feels like joel osteen” who is a televangelist, saying drake is a cult leader. also, osteen has been impersonated by AI many times, making him the AI part of this double 4. mentions films that HALEY joel OSMENT was in, the ghost part of this double, not joel osteen, the ai part of the double, emphasizing on how he is confused who he is battling (ghosts or ai) , with osment being AI and osteen being ghosts 5. haley joel osment saw dead people in the sixth sense, another meaning of ghost, but he was also in a film called ai, further confusing if he’s battling ai or ghosts ‼️also, what pretty much confirms it is intentional is the way he pronounces joel- instead of the traditional “jole”, he says it like jo-hel, which is a way you can say the name but that is less common. point being it sounds like “joel haley” just said very fast, further blurring the lines of who he is battling this is the quintuple that drake “wouldn’t understand”- this is a confusing and misnamed bar on purpose so drake wouldn’t understand it, in direct rebuttal to what drake said on taylor made freestyle.

The way I've read the "bad bitches; you don't like women" bars is more about Drakes hypocrisy and the way he appropriates culture. There has been a lot of criticism of Drake over his misogyny, especially with the recent digs at Meg and Rhianna. Honestly the way I've seen Drakes attitude reminds me of those weird conservative dudes on twitter that see women as only objects to covet and to hold power over while finding actual feminine traits that don't fit their very strict bizarre criteria repulsive. Despite this Drake currently leans into the trappings on femininity with the painted nails and bringing in rappers like Sexxy Redd to dance with. To Kendrick, Drake is doing this because he actually sees these young female rappers as the actual competition for his pop rap lane. He puts on an act like he's one of the girlies just as he put on his gangster act. Kendrick sees everything Drake does as this act: appropriating and pretending to be something or someone despite his lack of actual respect for them or the culture.

[@ColombianThunder]

​​@@bubsadoozy that's an incredibly reductive statement. Lyricism, or I suppose to be more precise, poetry and artistry of any kind, is not a specific thing. By that I mean that it doesn't always have to exist on airs of defamiliarization and ambiguity. Not every lyric has to be something that you have to think deeply about. You have to understand the intent. Why did Kendrick decide to be straightforward here? Why does it work so well? Because it cuts deeper. Within the context of the whole piece and the whole intent of the piece it reveals a layer of not caring how he makes drake feel, he's letting him know straight up what he thinks of him. Not everything has to be this complicated riddle to solve. Sometimes something more simple will be artistically better than something complicated. If you don't understand I don't think you truly understand artistry, and what it is capable of. You're also just unfairly nitpicking the most straightforward lines of the song as if that's emblematic of the whole rap. Like come on dude, you can't be this disingenuous.

I'm not going to sit here and say Kendrick should be some poet laureate or something, but Jesus Christ dude it's a diss track. I'm not really a fan of them either. They're petty, unnecessary, and ultimately serves to advertise both rappers. But people here are comparing this diss track to another. Within that context it's very very easy to say that Kendrick is a much better Lyricist than Drake even if the lyrics themselves aren't the best thing he's ever made.

@@Ten_Thousand_Locustshe literally explains it later (JoeHale Osteen) by saying he doesn’t know if he’s battling Ai or ghosts (invokes sixth sense reference as a stamp for proof), meaning he’s confused by the name and the actions he should be taking to respond. Like how are we not understanding this man?

[@RJMartinez]

Kendrick's mastery in weaving complex narratives and hard-hitting beats into 'Euphoria' not only showcases his lyrical genius but also cements his position at the forefront of meaningful hip-hop. His ability to maintain authenticity while pushing musical boundaries is truly inspiring!

I don't think anyone has mentioned that on the like that verse YNW Melly mistakenly thought Kendrick name dropped him and now on the response Kendrick actually did. He's definitely very aware of social media talk lol

[@am_infinite]

On the Osteen scheme, Kendrick purposely confuses the two, both Haley Joel Osment and Joel Osteen as a performance bar to convey the fact that he doesnt know who hes battling with, the Ghosts Writers or the AI. Osment being the ghost writer reference and Osteen being the AI one.

[@kj_H65f]

I'm a Kendrick fan but thats a stretch. Osteen has no reason to be in that bar at all. He said HES feeling like Joel hale Osteen. You trying to act like it somehow means he's saying drake is like a mega church pastor? Not saying there's not a real legitimate reason he bent those names like that but this ain't it. He could have easily said the name correctly and it would rhyme with the next line. I beleive he did it on purpose but it might be for reasons we don't understand. Remember this is for Drake to understand. Not every line will make sense to fans.

[@Leotv1948]

Both are also performative figures. Ones an actor and the other is a grifter theatrical preacher. Good play on the “you’re an actor and fake” concept while playing into the confusion aspect you mentioned.

"Haley Joel Osteen" is a Comedy Bang Bang character waiting to happen.

[@cafedetaro]

i might be reading too much into this but here's something that maybe few have considered. Drake being the producer of euphoria and the track being called euphoria means that whenever someone searches 'Drake euphoria' it's just gonna point them to the track and remind everyone of how he lost to Kendrick, not towards his producer credit on the TV show. just Kendrick thinking in 3D.

[@joshh3371]

AND, euphoria is a show about highschoolers, and drake's a pedo and fw 15-18 yr olds.

[@kailynx2295]

Why would anyone be searching "drake euphoria" if they don't already know he is involved with the show or aren't looking for this song

[@comedyimpossible]

Honestly feel like this is a good point. Someone searching years down the line after this beef is settled stumbles across this track and either finds out or remembers how Drake was dismantled by Kendrick

[@Cinna_Rolls]

Drake putting "Push" in his track will do the same for people searching up "Story Of Adidon".

[@jaminjones8784]

​@@kailynx2295 They wouldn't, but lots of people will search "drake euphoria" after they see his name in the credits or hear he's tied to the show because they want to know more about how we was involved / what he contributed.

"Being a deadbeat dad... You only have to get caught one time for it to hound you for the rest of your life...” - Anthony "the Prophet" Fantano

[@Lucky_Drive]

I think Fantano missed a clear shot that Kendrick was taking when talking about "Drake not knowing about a father raising his son." I think not only were those lines a dig at Drake raising his kid, but also a dig at Drake's relationship with his own father. I think Kendrick was pointing out that Drake would know nothing about a father raising their son because Drake's own father was mostly absent from his Drake's life growing up.

[@dylanmartin4823]

It's a double entendree, because Drake repeats the same deadbeat behavior like his father, therefore, Drake doesn't know what raising a kid is (as the kid, and as the father)

[@skully6447]

@@undercookedtoast1479while I’m a big Kendrick fan it’s not the same thing, Drake embraces being pop music basically and the diss was that Kendrick frames himself as the savior of hip hop while also doing pop features. While I think Kdot can do both at the same time, I can understand the diss

[@dakota6050]

Actually the line around 23:42 is Joel (Haley) Osteen cuz Joel Osteen created an AI preacher version of himself and Haley Joel Osment was the kid in A.I. the movie. So he fused both names together.

Drake is done. The “public opinion” is just children, bots, and sheep. Drake is a made up corporate idea of a rapper and backed by corporations. Kendrick is a real rapper. But no matter how much Drake is exposed as fake - these idiots keep buying it and actually prefer it. They want the machine to win, they’re okay with it, and Drake is pretty much AI already. He’s just composed of what focus group data says about what kids listen to.

Haha @ Drake is done. As long as he keeps making entertaining music he’s not done. People aren’t idiots for listening to music they enjoy. He got to where he is because he’s made some incredible music. A corporation isn’t going to back someone that doesn’t have talent. I can’t imagine living in a world where a great song comes on and my hating ass doesn’t want to hear it because the person is “fake” as you stated. It’s entertainment, that is all.

[@swiftskillz89]

@@christopher2447 tell me more about how you just echoed everything I said. The fact that you will still buy something that is literally appropriating what’s real within the culture, you’d rather buy the package from the guy the corporation backs because he has “talent”. I won’t deny drakes vocal talents and why he’s backed, but I stopped buying it when he started talking tough. He’s disrespecting our culture and he’s only able to act like a child because he has the corporation to make things go away. But not anymore. It’s center stage where he’s always wanted to be and he’s looking like a fool. You may not have any honor or respect for our culture, but we do. It’s not safe for Drake fans in LA. It’s deeper than you think. Our entire lifestyle and culture has been mocked for a rich boy to play poor boy when it suits him to act tough.

[@bananas2aday]

Funny thing aboht that pacify line. Its supposed to be a double entendre with it meaning both pacifying music but also pacifiers as drake has a tendency to go after young women and even millie bobbie brown when she was 16. Thats why he says on the next bar that that line had more meaning.
