This is Kendrick saying Drake likes children (teenagers) and then he later calls Drake a child not knowing how to act like a man. There's layers and levels to this diss title so Kendrick is up.

That backwards clip in the very beginning is Richard Pryor saying 'Everything they say about me is true' when he was playing the Wizard of Oz in 'The Wiz'. You can take it further with him implying that Drake is a man hiding behind the curtain. The Wizard of Oz wanted everyone to think he was big and powerful but he wasn't. Nastyyyyyyyyy

[@mearaamour1613]

I definitely think he was referring to drake like the man behind the curtain because in drakes buried alive interlude it sounds like that’s how Kendrick originally thought of him

It's not a lightskin thing. Drake wears blackness like he is an actor. He takes it off when he gets home.

[@J-Hue]

Black is black regardless of how you walk or talk. That said, his Jewish half does allow him access to things most might not have access to. But if you think "the culture" is anything more than the most elaborate bs act on earth, you don't know black people at all. I'm black so I can call it like it is. It's always an act. It's an act that was taught to us while our parents were at work and we were at home with the TV on watching bet and MTV. The entire thing is an act.

[@hardimashutamaputra7082]

That shit white thing and rap, i hope not poke EM.

[@ForcedDisruption]

As a Southern ADOS black American, I believe it's okay for me to think that a Jewish Canadian actor is wearing my black American culture like clothes and taking it off when he gets home. Drake is not J Cole! When it comes to my culture, I can scrutinize who is wearing my culture as an act. Period! His ghost writers have black culture, though, but not him. Kendrick made that so very clear. Lil Wayne told him to "Keep it Canadian," yet here we are.

[@bishop2410]

​@@J-Hue Black is not Black because Black refers to both a race and an ethnicity. KDot is saying that Drake is pretending that he is Black (ethnicity). Which is true, Drake wears American Blackness (ethnicity) like a costume.

[@Hilo-gk3ix]

@@bishop2410There are fully black artists who do the same though so are they just not Black at all?

What I really like is that he didn’t just call him white. He pointed out the REAL issue a lot of folks have with him, which is how his insecurities about his own identity has made him appear fake and cringey. Him being mixed isn’t the issue. Him not being comfortable in his identity is.

I've been looking at alot of the Euphoria reaction vids and yours BY FAR is better than all the other ones I've seen! No gimmicks, no loud yelling and screaming, no bias from you as far as I can tell, no personal comments to interject yourself into the conversion, just straight to the point. You addressed many of the bars and lines the best you could and it all makes sense with how you broke it down. Weird thing is, many of the guys I see speaking on this record are in the music business somehow be it mainstream or even battle rap and have big followings, yet your analysis is FLAWLESS. I can honestly tell that your music journey comes with hard work and studying. And The fact that this reaction was immediate makes it that much more special! Keep doing your thing man!!

New Ho King is a Chinese Resturant on Spadina Avenue in Toronto. New Ho King is ALSO where a Toronto rapper named Sizzlac filmed his last music video before being shot and killed. Sizzlac got shot and killed days after dropping a diss record titled “Realest in the 6”, and in the music video for the record he’s at New Ho King. Sizzlac is also rumored to be one of the people that robbed Drake at gunpoint in 2009 Drake recently has aligned himself with another Toronto rapper named Pressa, who is apart of the Driftwood CRIPS gang. The Driftwood Crips and Sizzlacs gang have had a long rivalry. So, when Kendrick says that he’s at New Ho King with a blammy and that he can do it on camera. He’s saying that unlike Sizzlac, he’s in Drakes city (Toronto) at New Ho King with a gun and that he’s ready to do it on camera.

Also the “I love em to death” line refers to J Cole’s Middle Child. He said “I roll with some fiends, I love 'em to death”. In the song he also said: “This watch came from Drizzy, he gave me a gift Back when the rap game was prayin' I'd diss They act like two legends cannot coexist But I'd never beef with a nigga for nothin' If I smoke a rapper, it's gon' be legit” 💀🔥

[@wholelottagangshid]

Lot of people don't know that knox hill most likely listens to tracks multiple times before he actually records a "reaction" so he can catch all the lines. I'm sorry but ain't no way people catch every single bar like he does on a first listen

[@Roman-gy7pr]

one more thing about the "ring" line at 15:05 - Drake has done some sketchy stuff with underaged girls, and (as claimed in the "Not Like Us") has (allegedly) predators/weirdoes around him, so "ring" could mean sex trafficking ring, so the "I'm ready to double the wage" could be seen as Kendrick offering to buy these (so far non-existent) sex slaves/trafficking victims from Drake for 2x.

[@yailigainzarodriguez9098]

[@jeffroberts6428]

Kinda sad that Kendrick’s biggest points of contention are the fact that Drake isn’t black enough and makes a comment about Drake being gay. Pretty weak shit.

[@Kyocus]

You have an unreal level of knowledge and analysis. More thorough than anyone else.

[@daviduhr4941]

Damn, this was a thorough breakdown… thanks man. You caught nearly everything. A few more points: 1. He made three switches, a reference to when he said “I hope they came with 3 switches” on Like That 2. The backwards bit at the beginning says “everything they said about me is true,” which is a sound bite ripped from The Wiz when the find The Wiz (Richard Pryor). He’s calling Drake a fraud 3. The beat sampled in the intro was Teddy Pendergrass’ “you’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration.” 4. Kendrick singing at the end, We don’t wanna hear you say n***a no more,” is an interpolation of Kanye Wests lyric from Get ‘Em High, “We don’t wanna hear that weak sh*t no more.” 5. The Dementia/killer bit was likely aimed at J Prince though I don’t really know the depth of those claims. 6. The cadence Kendrick used when he rapped the bars, “I hate when a rapper talk about guns, then somebody die They turn into nuns, then hop online, like "Pray for my city" He fakin' for likes and digital hugs” emulates J Cole’s flow from First Person Shooter 7. When he says “everybody is an a be DeMun till they get chipped by a throwaway.” Obviously alluding to Drake’s song Demons… but also, Future’s middle name is DeMun and he has a track called Throwaway. Under the definition of Euphoria Kendrick provides, the usage example says, “The had almost a week to recover from the euphoria of Tuesday’s series winning victory.” Does this support the assertion that Kendrick has another track chambered? Man, what I really want is for Kendrick to bite the beat for Back to Back and record a diss track over the beat, then blast Drake when he tries to get it taken down.
