Kendrick Lamar’s “

Kendrick went back to back on "6:16 in LA", a new diss track shared on Instagram, so here's a complete breakdown of every shot at Drake and reference in the song
He warned Drake that he’d go “back to back” on “Euphoria” earlier this week, and now he made good on that promise with this song. Dot spends much of the song surgically picking apart Drake’s OVO crew, planting seeds that there is a rat among them. This angle is especially effective given how paranoid Drake already was before all of this (on songs like “Champagne Poetry,” he raps about how his “cleaning staff’s plotting extortion” on him). The smooth flip of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” makes the track sound amazing even without the shots, but of course, Kendrick even found a way to hide a deeper meaning behind the sample itself, which has ties into Drake’s family (more on that below).“6:16 in LA” is full of layered references and even more “quintuple entendres,” so here’s a breakdown of all of the deeper meanings behind the track.

[@sanidhyasharma9541]

So nobody noticed how with each diss track Kendrick acted like drake Psychologist even asked him questions (Have you ever?) then in this diss as if the psychologist is having a sit down with the family letting them know what Drake mental health state is😮😮

[@hyvemynd605]

So nobody noticed how this comment has been copied and pasted in every video about this and it’s not your thought? Lmao Jesus

[@travisknight1360]

i see it more like parent-teacher conferences lol

[@Cbrunning849]

Nah that's not what this is. Have you ever is a very popular game lots of people play. And it's a battle he's essentially calling him a degenerate and he's being incredibly mean. Just because you're attacking someone's morals doesn't mean you're trying to be a psychologist or he's doing a bit

[@ChrisJones-bh6ce]

In battle rap it’s called talking 2 there soul. It’s when you jus spit straight raw real undeniable bars acknowledging breaking apart nd psycho analyzing there whole life persona weaknesses flaws mistakes nd truths. Nd whn u gt bars nd the opponent has plenty 2 grab frm it can get ugly!!! I’ve seen it defeat sme of the best bars out! It takes the audience faith n energy out of anything they attempt especially whn the narrative appears as true

[@MonstaRoe]

If you watch battle rap you would know “have you ever” has been a recurring theme in that world.

[@SSJ_BOBBY]

He Didn't Diss Drake. He Fathered Him'

Bro forget your family for a week. You have to work overtime

[@josuepaz5594]

He already forgot about his family before this whole thing started, there’s no coming back for the boy 😅

[@TwanClassified]

I also think 6:16 in LA is a play on Kendrick letting Drake kno he not in a NY apartment but in LA recording these disses.

[@vignesh2397]

OMG I need the breakdown for the other two songs!!! Kendrick just dropped

The fact he got cooked so bad in this, its not a diss, its a disappointment that kendrick is expressing about drake.

[@Cbrunning849]

Kendricks approach hasn't been about disappointment. He's been very open and vocal about the fact it's about hatred

[@RiowayneTrades]

These bars so deep you need 2 shovels 🤯

[@sostalestill8295]

This beef is getting scary

[@mrouncervideos2905]

There is no beef foo. Kendrick is from a real hood with real hood problems that some of us unfortunately are still in or got out of. Drake has a trust fund, grew up in a country with zero homelessness , ghettos or hoods. Lamar is hood born and raised he knows how to move. Drake has paid security. There is no beef.

[@braydendewar3695]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@mrouncervideos2905Toronto, Canada - does indeed have homelessness, ghettos and hoods and the same problems faced elsewhere… like where Kendrick is from. If you want to make a point about Drake not having the same struggle as Kendrick, sure.. but Toronto has the same big city issues LA does.

[@mikealangeloy]

​@@braydendewar3695Literally NOWHERE in his comment did he say Toronto didn't have hoods g. He literally just stated where Kendrick is from, and the fact that Drake is privileged. So idk where you even got this take from.

[@mrouncervideos2905]

@@braydendewar3695 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣

[@mrouncervideos2905]

@braydendewar3695 no. I grew up in L.A. I personally know homelessness, ghettos, and gang life. I've been to Toronto, Cornwall, Montreal, etc. Canadian government has a safety net for unemployment and housing. Have you been to East L.A. and Lame Canada to make a comparison? If not then StFu.

[@btfbeddie]

Great video. Just gotta let you know Daylyt is pronounced day light instead of day lit. Might come in handy in future breakdowns since he’s wrapped up in it!

I have watched virtually all reactions to all kendricks diss tracks, n i have to say along wiv knox hill, your defiantly one of the best at what you, what i like is not about pausing and going crazy at every bar, but an indepth knowledge of each bar and explaining them like no other.

What an incredible breakdown. Thank you!

[@220Gene_]

Great breakdown

[@RonnieM90]

I read this on Complex. OJ Simpson’s murder case began on June 16, 1995, and this reference could tie into the black leather glove on the song’s cover artwork, which might be Kendrick’s way of implying that some of Drake’s own crimes will soon come to light. Fans are also pointing to the Bible verse, Corinthians 6:16, which reads, “Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, ‘The two will become one flesh.’” This could be yet another jab at Drake’s tastes in women. The song is built around a sample of Al Green’s “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is,” which has direct ties to Drake’s family. Drake’s father’s cousin, Mabon “Teenie” Hodges, was a guitarist and songwriter for Al Green, and he’s credited for playing on this specific song.

[@zaidensaucedo2115]

Dude you are awesome at breaking this stuff down this fast. I got to give you credit. You're one of the best ones. I've watched some of these people that are trying to break it down. Don't know exactly the details like you do. Thank you for this and by the way Kendrick is going to keep smoking Drake and im quite enjoying it😂

Well I do like the lyrical diversitive Lamar and even that he used an old school Al Green beat. For people that say KL songs don't sound as melodic as Drake I think they can use this as a example to show he can make songs that have replay value. Not sure of this will really affect Drake I'm the long run but good to see both coming out swing and I hope it stays on the record. Which I believe it will unlike the Chris Brown and Quavo beef due to Chris Brown propensity for violence. I can't see Drake getting into fights or Kendrick Lamar either despite him being from Compton.
