It's like Drake is surrounded by a faceless crowd, panicking and spinning in circles looking for a way out, as the crowd accuses him of each lie. Then Kendrick suddenly appears from within the crowd and delivers the final line, finishing Drake.

[@djspit8929]

Personally, i think what he exposes about OvO is the heaviest "he got sx offenders on OvO that he keeps on a monthly allowance" thats scary, evil, and dark in ways that needed to be aired out and have light spilled into the crypt of it all.

[@Toastybees]

This was Kendrick saying it's not him that destroyed Drake, it was all the terrible things Drake has done because he can't grow up catching up with him. He's just doing what the boogeyman is supposed to do, punishing bad children.

[@idani2186]

[@sinowosa]

its always so interesting to see how people felt before and after listening to the song. The amount of hype after just reacting to Family Matters, learning Kendrick already responded, seeing the diss, then the realization throughout the song that this is much bigger than rap beef to Kendrick and eventually the uneasiness everyone feels after the last line

[@angeloconnor8122]

And it's wild their reactions are all almost identical. Haha! Love it

[@xoanone]

everybody vibing off of family matters, getting hype kdot dropped, and having their jaw wired to the floor the second he apologizes to adonis on behalf of his father. every ody has the same expression: eyes in a wide stare, jaw open, eyebrows perched up, all because kendrick decided that the only option was to go scorched earth

When Kendrick said he was the boogyman, he wasn’t lying

[@juliawarren847]

Kendrick was always an amazing writer, but I do feel that going to therapy not only allowed him to better understand his own behaviors, but the behaviors of others as well. And I think that his masterful writing, plus his newfound knowledge, was what let him completely break down Drake’s character and actions in MTG. I mean, Kendrick completely obliterated that man. As one of the reactors said it: “[Kendrick] is talking to his soul!”

[@TuchNGoh]

Well said. Someone asked why he didn’t engage years ago. In my opinion I think he didn’t for many reasons, one of which being what you said. I think he was waiting to put an album out like Mmatbs before jumping into a huge beef (⏸️) Not only to learn more about himself, which helps him in a battle, but also to share his truth with his audience. Sharing your skeletons with the world effectively gives you protection from the angles in a beef (unless you’re skeletons are Epstein levels,lol). We saw it here with Drake, his shit didn’t hit the same because we knew Kendrick’s relationship situation from Mmatbs. That’s Just one reason, I KNOW this shit gets deep, and I love the fact that we’ll never know the FULL story, just adds more lore to this mf Kendrick. But yea shoutout to therapy, you can tell he’s been working on himself and it really showed with these songs.

[@onesolopolo4194]

It’s difficult to say what line to do next because the last minute of this song hits you like a truck. People literally just sit there in silence because the song is so daunting and heavy and the record just stops on a dime so you’re left alone with that feeling; like YOU did something wrong; that feeling when you let your homie down. Not Like Us is cool, it makes you feel cool but this is something else, this feels like you’re in actual danger. Probably his Like That verse next because he wasn’t even featured on the song so his voice surprised everybody.

[@TrackpadProductions]

I haven't heard people talk about it much, but just cutting the backing track in the middle of the beat really is the best musical rendition of a mic drop I've ever heard in a song before. A fade-out or a coda just wouldn't feel the same.

[@roshango125ab]

This was probably the most important verse in the beef. Drake stans keep saying, "Where's the proof?" When talking about the 11 year old daughter while not asking for the same recipes when it comes down to the allegations Drake made about Kendrick. At the end of the day, a lot of this beef is just allegations from both guys. So, a lot of these allegations come down to who you trust more. And this verse reminds us that you cant trust a word Drake says.

[@anonmovement2717]

Its so crazy how distraught everyone is after that last line was delivered. Throughout the entire song, kendrick ripped into Drake's flaws through his family, and the accusations just kept getting worse and worse. It was like being fed trauma until everyone listening was shellshocked at the end.

This is what Pusha T was about to do to him, but his was going to be much worse because you can tell from how he came at 40 about being sick that he was ready to black out and tell everything, he even said "if they all go to hell, it would be worth it." He was ready to expose everything, even the things ppl still doubt is true about Drake after what Kendrick has said. He just needed Drake to respond and we got a surgical summer, layer by layer.

[@TheSReaction]

And Kendrick did say on Not Like Us that there’s even more he could’ve said!!! He said there’s MORE!!! I believe Push definitely had the same ish on Drake and J Prince had to stop it because Drake is the cash cow, they need him to keep making money and being successful.
