Kendrick Lamar Plays 4D Chess With Drake By Including Taylor Swift’s Producer On “6:16 In LA”

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Kendrick Lamar delivered a scathing takedown of Drake on the song “Euphoria.” This was released on Tuesday, early in the morning. Overall, fans couldn’t help but be mesmerized by just how much of a hater Kendrick truly is. After all, he has been gearing up for this beef for about 10 years now. However, no one could have predicted just how battle-ready he is. In fact, on Friday, Kendrick decided to double down with a new track called “6:16 In LA.” It was a bold move, albeit one that is paying off in the eyes of the fans.

Now that this new song has been released, fans are looking for some hidden meanings. As it turns out, Kendrick has given fans plenty to analyze. In fact, the producers of this new song are drawing quite a bit of attention. As you can see down below, Sounwave and Jack Antonoff are responsible for this song. This is very interesting as Antonoff is known for being Taylor Swift‘s main producer. With Drake roasting Kendrick for his proximity to Taylor, it seems as though Kendrick is trying to be a bit cheeky here.

Kendrick Lamar Is Quite Literally “Taylor Made”

It is one of those easter eggs that you cannot help but laugh at. Furthermore, it is too much of a coincidence to simply dismiss. At a quick glance, it seems like this is all very calculated. Kendrick has never done things just to do them. There is always a reason and motive behind everything he does. With “6:16 In LA,” that could not be any clearer.

Let us know what you think of Kendrick Lamar including Jack Antonoff as a producer on the song, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is a solid easter egg that will get fans energized? How do you believe Drake is going to respond to all of this? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

YNW Melly’s Mother Reacts To Kendrick Lamar Bar On “Euphoria”

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

We have another Kendrick Lamar diss track to get to with “6:16 In LA,” but most of us aren’t even done enjoying “euphoria” yet. Moreover, one of the wildest bars on there roped in YNW Melly‘s open double murder case, for which he stands accused of taking the life of two of his friends. While that case is still open and he hasn’t received a conviction, K.Dot made a reference to it while referring to J. Cole and Drake: “I pray they my real friends, if not, I’m YNW Melly.” It was one of the sharpest lyrical moments on there as well as having that extra oomph for mentioning another rapper, and a controversial one at that.

Furthermore, YNW Melly actually reacted to this bar from the former TDE MC. ““Kendrick Lamar is one of my favorite rappers so I feel honored and appalled… I’m a household name, just for the wrong s**t!” he remarked in a statement to TMZ. What’s more is that journalist and media figure @LorenLorosa on Twitter spoke with Melly’s mother, who had a similar sentiment. She said that, even though the bar assumes a conviction that isn’t there yet, Kendrick still deserves a shoutout as one of the greats, and that it’s still a big deal to get a name-drop from him with a great bar.

YNW Melly’s Mother Speaks On Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria”

Elsewhere, the two women remarked on how YNW Melly turned himself into the authorities almost six years ago, speaking to the arduous history behind the Kendrick Lamar bar. The Florida MC’s mother spoke on how unfair the case has been so far, and how it changed the public perception behind the artist. However, she also pointed out that Drake had shouted Melly out during an interview a couple of years ago before he went to jail. As such, both MCs clearly think that he’s worthy of the spotlight.

Meanwhile, even though YNW Melly escaped mention on this new Kendrick Lamar diss, there was one media personality that didn’t: DJ Akademiks. He recently reacted to the name-drop in the song in quite the hilarious fashion, as we expect from Ak. We’ll see what else the hip-hop world has to say about these disses and the beef in general. It seems like everyone wants to get in on this, but Melly and his family are some of the few folks who actually have a reason to.

Kendrick Lamar Goes Back To Back By Dropping Second Drake Diss Track “6:16 In LA”

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Kendrick Lamar shocked many Hip-Hop fans on Friday (May 3). The West Coast rapper dropped a new song titled “6:16 In LA” on his Instagram page. “6:16 In LA” arrived three days after “euphoria” hit the internet on Tuesday (April 30).


“Try cease and desist on the ‘Like That’ record? Ho, what? You ain’t like that record? ‘Back To Back,’ I like that record. I’ma get back to that, for the record,” Kendrick Lamar rapped to Drake on “euphoria.” K. Dot got back to it by releasing a second straight diss track.

Kendrick Lamar took more shots at Drake on the “6:16 In LA” record. The track’s title plays off of the OVO leader’s well-known timestamp songs such as “5AM in Toronto” and “8am in Charlotte.”

On “6:16 In LA,” Lamar implied Drake has multiple moles in his camp. At one point, the Compton, California native asked, “Have you ever thought that OVO was working for me?” He also said, “Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it.”

Kendrick Lamar’s “euphoria” was a trending topic throughout the week. The pgLang co-founder topped several streaming services charts. Recent rumors suggested Lamar recorded a 19-minute version of the song.

This is K-Dot’s second diss track aimed at Drizzy in less than a week following “Euphoria,” which dropped on Tuesday (April 30). Kendrick is going back to back.

Read through all the lyrics of Kendrick’s “6:16 in L.A.” diss track below.

Full Lyrics for Kendrick Lamar’s “6:16 in L.A.” Diss Track
Intro

Uh
Uh
Uh, yeah
Yeah, it’s survival
Survival
Uh, I think somebody lyin’
Smells like some lyin’
I don’t see no fire

Verse 1
Off-White sunseeker had the Marina
Fuck a Phantom, I like to buy yachts when I get the fever
Wine cooler spill on my white T-shirt, the sightseer
Trifecta: money, morals, and culture, that’s my leisure
My visa, passport tatted, I show up in Ibiza
Lucali’s dwellin’ in Brooklyn, just to put me some pizza
Who could reach this? Only God could teleport this type of freedom
My God, my confession is yours, but
Who am I if I don’t go to war?
There’s opportunity when livin’ with laws
I discover myself when I fall short
Raise my hands to a fallen sky, I fantasize
Me jumpin’ planets and mortal lies, I correspond
Three angels watchin’ me all the time
Put my children to sleep, with a prayer, then close my eyes, definition of peace
Tell me who gon’ stop me? I come from love, and still cover my heart, then open me up
Remember when, picked up a pen, wrote lyrics that I could trust
Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin’ where I was from
Often, I know this type of power is gon’ cost, but I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star
The mannerisms of Raphael, I can heal and give you art
But the industry’s cook as I pick the carcass apart
Yeah, somebody’s lyin’, I could see the vibes on Ak’
Even he lookin’ compromised, let’s peel the layers back
Ain’t no brownie points will be on your chest
Harassin’ and, f**kin’ with good people
And good people go to ‘Bec
Conspiracies ’bout cash dog? That’s not even the leak
Find the truths like cash dog, I just need you to think
Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? Let’s see
Have you ever thought that OVO was workin’ for me?
Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person
Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it
Can’t “Toosie Slide” up out of this one, it’s just gon’ resurface
Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose
It was fun ’til you start to put money in the streets
Then lost money, ’cause they came back with no receipts
I’m sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace
But war ready, if the world’s ready to see you bleed
The Elohim, KTW, no you can’t sleep
These images trouble you, know the wire in the circle should puzzle you
If you were street smart, then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you
A hunnid n***as that you got on salary, and twenty of ’em want you as a casualty
And one of them is actually, next to you
And two of them is practically tied to your lifestyle, just don’t got the audacity to tell you
But let me tell you some game, ’cause I can see you my lil’ homie
You playin’ dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya
You’re playin’ dirty with Zack Bia and Twitter bots
But your reality can’t hide behind Wi-Fi
Your lil’ memes is losing steam, they figured you out
The forced opinions is not convincin’, y’all need a new route
It’s time you look around on who’s around you, before you figure that you’re not alone
Ask what Mike would do.

Kendrick Lamar Goes Back To Back On Drake With”6:16 In LA,” Fans React To Kendrick’s Second Diss Track

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Kendrick Lamar delivered a diss track called “Euphoria” on Tuesday and it immediately sent the hip-hop world into a frenzy. Overall, this is a song that fans were hoping for given Drake‘s lyrical assault on “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” In the end, “Euphoria” proved to be a massive win for Kendrick, as most fans have him up right now. On Friday, however, Kendrick decided to double down. He hinted that he would on “Euphoria,” although fans were not taking the threat seriously. As it turns out, they should have been.

Today, we got “6:16 In LA.” This is not a scathing and energetic takedown like “Euphoria.” Instead, it is a laid back track that is meant to poke the bear and inspire some paranoia within Drake. For instance, Kendrick takes shots at the OVO operation, claiming that there are double agents who are now working for him. He claims that Drake’s inner circle wants to see him fail. Moreover, he claims the OVO camp has tried to find dirt on Kendrick, but they have come up empty as he lives a pretty boring life.

Drake Fans Accuse Kendrick Lamar Of Stealing Battle Rappers’ Lines

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Debate is raging heavily online over the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, especially now that the latter went back to back and dropped another diss on Friday morning (May 3). Both fanbases are going wild for their fav, with some going on a slippery slope by trying to discredit some of the bars on the first K.Dot diss, “euphoria.” For example, folks pulled up some videos of various rap battles in which competitors use the “I hate” repetition from the song’s refrain, the “park your son” bar, and the YNW Melly bar. While this is not necessarily an invalid critique, someone should make a compilation of all the “Interscope (in the scope) Aftermath” MJ, and Whitney Houston Bodyguard bars that rappers have spit over the years, all of which land on “Push Ups.”

Furthermore, we don’t say that to hate on Drake, but to point out that this is a flawed argument no matter which way you frame it. His previous ghostwriting claims don’t matter either, as Kendrick Lamar also faced some since-debunked ghostwriting rumors amid this beef. If you hold hip-hop up to unrealistic originality standards in the art of wordplay, you would deprive many listeners of their first time hearing classic bars on more popular records. The ghostwriting issue occurs most frequently when you’re not backing up your homages with striking idiosyncrasy on your other bars, or when you pay them too often in succession.

Of course, we’re sure that Drake will probably have at least one or two bars on whatever he cooks up next that are tributes or references to other bars, or are just more common metaphors or similes than one would think. None of them will discredit him from the beef, and Kendrick Lamar jabbing him for the same reason would fall equally as flat. All that being said, there is still valid critique to be made about “euphoria” and its lyrical content. So if you’re an OVO soldier, don’t give up: you might still get naysayers on your side.

Meanwhile, as the rest of the hip-hop world continues to debate “euphoria,” the brand new diss, and how this beef has progressed so far, we can only guess as to whether there’s another round. Will there be a big revelation like both MCs have teased and warned the other about? Or is this purely a lyrical battle? We’ll see what we see when the smoke clears.

Dame Dash Says Kendrick Lamar “Snuffed” Drake With “Euphoria” Diss Track

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

A lot of Hip-Hop figures have given their opinion about the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash has shared his thoughts on the clash too.


Kendrick Lamar’s “euphoria” lit the rap world on fire. The Compton-bred MC’s lyrical takedown of Drake has trended on social media for days and dominated streaming platforms.

Dame Dash decided to weigh in on K. Dot versus Drizzy while appearing on America Nu Network’s Chopping It Up show. The native New Yorker sided with Lamar after the latest round in the battle.

“He snuffed Drake. He swung on him and no one was expecting it,” Dash stated about Kendrick Lamar’s diss track. “In boxing, if you don’t see a punch coming, pause, that’s what will knock you out.”

Dame Dash also said, “When I first heard it, I didn’t like it. Like when I first was listening to it, but then I started hearing the words and what he was doing, I was like, ‘Nah, this s### is kinda ill.”

During his days with Roc-A-Fella Records, Dash had an up-close view of two Hip-Hop GOAT contenders going to war. Fellow Roc founding father Jay-Z’s clash with Nas went public in 2001.

While Dame Dash gave Kendrick Lamar his flowers for the “euphoria” record, former Roc-A-Fella artist Cam’ron has taken the opposing side. The It Is What It Is podcaster declared Drake the winner.

Drake Seemingly Responds To Kendrick Lamar Mocking Toronto Slang

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Drake and Kendrick Lamar are currently in the midst of a huge rap feud that has the entire music world paying attention. Overall, this has been brewing ever since Kendrick dropped his “Control” verse all the way back in 2013. When Kendrick dropped “Like That,” it became clear that he wanted to engage in a real feud. Subsequently, Drake came through with “Push Ups” and continued to poke the bear with “Taylor Made Freestyle.” On Tuesday, Kendrick delivered a banger with “Euphoria,” and now, it seems like he is winning, even if by a slim margin.

Near the end of Kendrick’s diss track, he delivers a mockery of the Toronto accent and some of the slang that comes with it. One word in particular was used, “crodi.” This is a word you will hear a lot in Toronto, and Kendrick used it in a manner that felt at least a little bit demeaning. Well, it seems as though Drake has issued a response to the use of the word. In the tweet below, you can see a screengrab from his Instagram story, in which Adonis can be seen looking in the mirror. Drake followed this up with the caption “Mirror time crodi…”
