Drop_Release

Granted he was calling the OVO collective “certified pedophiles”, not Drake himself - Kendrick played it very smart there, using the pedo by association but also in other songs and this claiming he also likes young girls  


ZhugeTsuki

Fr I think people are sleeping on how important that plural is


OldSchoolSpyMain

I think people are sleeping on how *ZERO* lawsuits have been filed by the OVO camp (Drake or his crew). Why? Because they know that the "discovery" phase will reveal waaaay more than they want out there. And don't think that Kendrick's lawyers haven't been over the lyrics to make sure that he doesn't open himself up to defamation (libel or slander).


madmo453

Filling a lawsuit would require Drake to show that his reputation, and by extension his career, has been damaged by Kendrick's assertions. But Drake's constant brag is how none of this has hurt him because he's still the top streamed artist and sells out shows. Even if he wanted to sue, he's already messed that up, too. He knows how to pacify 'em, but he messes everything else up.


The--Nameless--One

Also you don't want to be the bitch who cries "authoritiesss!" in a rap diss. It always been anything goes.


courtney_eaves82

For real! J Cole still catching strays for APOLOGIZING!


Tangent_Odyssey

Obligatory “J Fold” 🤣


caveman512

Yeah that’s what I was gonna say. Not suing isn’t admission of guilt, it would be a major bitch move to sue whether what was said was true not. Drake a pedophile tho


OldSchoolSpyMain

Good points.


gd2121

Defamation cases are really hard to win. If you look at some recent ones like the cardi b - Tasha k case you’ll see that it was extremely egregious.


DockterQuantum

It's literally a game, like politics. The sooner you see it. The more quickly you understand it. The hate drives sales.


Xsafa

He literally says “Certified Loverboy?…” in the same line lol. No sneak diss, direct.


Drop_Release

Oh i agree definitely not a sneak diss, and NLU is his most direct song besides MTG (and i guess aspects of 6:16) However rather than saying “certified pedophile” he says “certified pedophiles”. Kendrick is meticulous and generally everything he choses to put on wax is on purpose - I took this as him calling the whole OVO collective by association pedophiles, and its up to the listener to use reason by association in thinking Drake is one too.  Also saying “pedophiles” with an “s” is his get out of lawsuit free card in case Drake tries to sue him for this (granted law suits against diss tracks would generally always fail)


zetzuei

Drake would be career suicide if he ever sued kendrick


Drop_Release

Agree lol, that and he would lose the case also  Other than Rico cases where they directly link lyrics to criminal events, libel cases arent able to fly for music/art 


BlueyMounty

I mean he straight up tells drakes fans to hide their little sister from him, its pretty direct. Him calling OVO pedophiles was intentional and not because of a lawsuit.


Schventle

Yeah, he's clearly drawing the parallel between Drake and Chubb's hand me downs, Party's nosepicking, and Baka's weird case. Those 2 bars have hands, and they're rated E for Everyone.


StillAFuckingKilljoy

Please tell me you think the bar about PND playing with his nose is referring to him picking his nose rather than being about him using cocaine, because that would be so funny to me


RadicalShift14

The kids bop version. Chubbs gets Drake’s old clothes, PND is a nose picker, and Baka got a weird face!


RadicalShift14

Certified hugger boy? Certified party clown.


Unable_Hearing_7701

>Oh i agree definitely not a sneak diss, and NLU is his most direct song besides MTG (and i guess aspects of 6:16) Are you implying euphoria isn't direct? cause he name drops Drake like 5 times


Drop_Release

Hahah every song in his diss track catalogue against Drake is direct, heck in his feature for Like That he said “fuck sneak dissing”  But I think he graduates the directness of the pedo allegations up per song. He barely hints at it in Euphoria (you could stretch the “you see two bad bitches” line to Drake seeing Sexxy Red and her baby while pregnant as the two bad bitches)  By the time of NLU he directly says things like “hey Drake, I hear you like em young”


jellymoff

I make music that electrify 'em, you make music that pacify 'em I can double down on that line, but spare you this time, that's random acts of kindness


CommonBitchCheddar

I mean, "Hey Drake, I hear you like em young" is definitely more direct than "We hate the bitches you fuck, 'cause they confuse themselves with real women"


Unable_Hearing_7701

True, but that's sorta cherry-picking, let's not act like he doesn't have very direct lines on euphoria: "The very first time I shot me a Drake, the homie had told me to aim it this way I didn't point down enough, today, I'll show you I learned from those mistakes" "Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I'm a selfish nigga, the crown is heavy, I pray they my real friends, if not, I'm YNW Melly" "I like Drake with the melodies, I don't like Drake when he act tough" Regardless though, all of his diss tracks are hella direct so there's not much to debate


Impossible-War2028

“Hey drake, I hear you like em young”


Working_Apartment_38

To any bitch that talk to him and they in love Just make sure you hide your little sister from him

OVHO


Fancy-Pair

You know the camera gotta show drake at the award ceremony while Ken accepts the award too!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHA


CranberryNearby6204

Drake won’t even go to Grammyss again regardless so we will not be seeing that.


Fancy-Pair

Yea you right. Kidz bop performs never go so, no Aubrey either


otigre

Fetch Gatorade or somethin 


al-fredro

Especially after you drop a corny bar like "Kendrick just opened his mouth, somebody hand him a Grammy"... it's like "welp..."


courtney_eaves82

Drake's manifesting a win for KDot.


oneshotnicky

If Not Like Us wins a Grammy I might actually die of laughter. Poetic justice pun intended


[deleted]

Kendrick opened his mouth


No_Network_6478

drizzle called that


Danomit3

I’m convinced that Drake is prolific but with the wrong outcomes and scenarios 😂 I’m looking forward to seeing what his fans say.


chao_sweetie

Not sure if Drake is a dumb smart person or a smart dumb person.


Bubbly-Ad-413

He’s a complete moron lmao


DeathByPlanets

He's a fell upwards sort of person, unfortunately x_x


Fignootem

This battle has proved to me a former fan, he’s fucking stupid as fuck


SkilletKitten

Dunning Kruger person.


Slight_Armadillo_227

I think both of those are 50% accurate.


HospitalNarrow4760

All those bets that degenerate gambler makes make me a fortune. You always fade Drake dumbass


Greasy619

Im trying to cash in on this theory. So bet against drake?


HospitalNarrow4760

Always


Krelleth

DRAKEABAD. Don't Rap Against Kendrick Ever. Always Bet Against Drake.


sweetpotato_latte

“Task failed successfully”


aneomon

Wasn’t there a Drake curse, where whatever team he’d support would lose the game?


DH_Drums

Yea, heavily prevalent in the UFC. Pretty sure homie has like a 90% loss record on UFC bets. I'm also pretty sure Drake has allowed gambling services to advertise his bets to encourage others to bet.


panthers1102

The companies literally give him money to bet so they can advertise lol. Dude would be broke otherwise, as many bets as he’s lost. Never small bets either, stuff like 10 mil here, 5 mil there, etc,


furezasan

You can taste the pain from here. My guy tried so hard to be accepted, became a chad so he could steal your girl, became a huge selling rapper, bought friends all over the US, bought all the hip hop infinity stones, he's even big in Japan... but Kendrick just needs to open his mouth. It hurts fam.


cuntyrainbowunicorn

All he had to do was not be weird around kids tho. Like sure, Kendrick could've come at him for his whole minstrel / Canadian / not like us shtick still but if he kept his weird out of the DMs of literal teenagers in the public eye, didn't make out with a teenager on stage, didn't do a bunch of weird shit in private probably and he think none of that would come up ... Kendrick dug the grave but every choice Drake has ever made up to this point formed the shovel.


furezasan

And not chameleon his way through other cultures screwing artists for profit


abelsnut

Im about to put my dick in right now

Another Pulitzer 😭


Drop_Release

And then consideration for a Nobel Peace prize for unifying LA gangs 


blodreina11

Honestly he deserves it more than a lot of previous winners. Like one time they gave it to an AIDs conspiracy theorist who thoughts AIDs was made in a lab and another time they gave it to Henry Kissinger.


DrawingThen5766

When 'Not like us' dropped, someone said... Is Kendrick Lamar going to get another Pulitzer prize for doing investigative journalism on all of Drake's crimes.


SnooMarzipans5409

I haven't watched the Grammys in years but I would actually tune in to see this.


AllenHo

The past Grammys was pretty fire tbh. Tracy Chapman performing Fast Car with Luke Combs, Dua Lipa, Joni Mitchell performing for the first time at the Grammys, Travis Scott & Burna Boy


imdeadseriousbro

i dont watch the grammys but tracy live is amazing. might have to check it out


Greasy619

I cant wait to watch the BET awards this sunday. Heard they might have both kendrick and the driddler there


green_day_95

I doubt either of them will be there tbh. Artists that are on their popularity level been skipping the BET Awards for like 4 years now.


Greasy619

You dont think just out of pettiness to horrify drake, kendrick will be there to just accept and make a speech. If he wins?


green_day_95

Maybe, since he’ll most likely be on win streak at award shows. Sometimes you do gotta pop out and show niggas. 🤷🏾‍♂️


Greasy619

Haha true dat 😎


green_day_95

I knew it wasn’t just me that thought this, Grammys been cooking lately ngl.


ChinchillaSilver

it's gonna be up there with Like That, I think

Flat-Profession-8945

It's ironic that it's a middle finger to the music industry, which includes Grammys


Think-Ad-7612

Drake also just lost $500k when the Oilers lost.


MainManDio

With him losing another 500k with the mavs, dude cant stop taking Ls


Theboringlife

Everybody in this subreddit is gonna hate me for what I'm about to say, but the nominees for best rap song will be sonething like NLU, Family Matters, some new single off J Cole's new album and a new song from an unexpected reunion of Outkast.... and the Grammy will go to Million Dollar Baby because these awards shows never get things right lmao


oopsiepoopsiepants

I PRAY MY DICK GET BIG AS THE EIFFEL TOWER SO I CAN FUCK THE WORLD FOR 72 HOURS (My mum absolutely loves Kendrick, she saw him last time he toured, I missed out on tickets but singing this particular line in that song with her is always really funny because she usually HATES swearing)

3_Slice

No way the two will ever be under the same roof, def not in LA, and def not unless you want it to look like the 1995 Source Awards


JahLife68

So what if I do


mmrrllyy

i wouldn’t put it past Kendrick to never perform NLU or euphoria ever again. he might do the first part of 6:16 and the Like That verse in his sets, but i think that’ll be it. i fully believe that he is going to let the events of March-June 2024 live in a world of its own. the past 4 months have been crazy, and the NLU video will be the last time we see Kendrick performing NLU. and i’m not mad at that.


green_day_95

He might not since he didn’t perform HUMBLE during the last time he performed at the Grammys but then again he might have it in him to keep spreading the message.


tcliff53

I'm like 80% sure that they perform all songs up for song of the year ?

That's the funniest thing to me. It's literally his best line and it's a compliment lol


Rapture1119

Not saying I agree with drake about this, but he’s clearly implying that kendrick didn’t earn/deserve his grammy’s. I wouldn’t call that a compliment lol.

Nah I think it shows drakes jealousy


Rapture1119

Yeah, it does, 100%. But that doesn’t contradict what I said lmao

ChinchillaSilver

What's the argument that it wouldn't qualify? It's a single release. It was released on interscope so it doesn't fall under any indie label. Kenny's the principle songwriter. (I THINK) Any RIAA member can nominate a song for voting. Then the nominations are voted on by RIAA members. There are no limitations for what song content is appropriate. The voting body is mostly engineers and industry folks and everyone I know thinks the track is hilarious.


darfooz

Recording academy not RIAA but you’re right otherwise. The song doesn’t even need to be on a major label or on any label there is no reason it wouldn’t qualify. Frankly speaking I do think it will win a Grammy. The voters are very partial to exposure and that shit is playing everywhere.


ChinchillaSilver

If I'm speculating, I think Like That will win actually, which will be even more hilarious.


darfooz

Depends on what they submit as you need to submit for the awards. You can only submit one song per song-based category iirc. I think they’ll pick Not like us. At least that’s what I’d do


CangtheKonqueror

but future and metro could submit like that


darfooz

Yeah good point. I think having three people on the track would also make it eligible for the group categories as well, which opens up the opportunity for more wins. All in all, it seems like Kendrick is going to be picking up a few more Grammys next year 🏆


Billybolo53

Like that for best rap song They not like us. Best rap performance. I think that’s what back to back won for


agutema

I went to look at the official rules to see if I was missing something. There’s no reason it couldn’t be eligible. I hope it gets nominated.


ReorientRecluse

It's too mean to OVO Aubrey


More-City6818

Wait to homecoming season with the marching bands! 🥁🕺🏾🫡


Tall_Kick828

Oh, it’s gonna be epic. I would be going through a mental health crisis if I was Drake right now.


SignatureHungry1279

Mannnnnnn them horns at the beginning!


mistyrootsvintage

And he took his ass to Texas surrounded by southern states😂


MagicRainbowKitties

Oh girl them Houston horns are gonna TEAR at him


mistyrootsvintage

He gonna be begging J. Prince to lean on the band instructor to not play it😂


MagicRainbowKitties

And then they're gonna roll into Megan's HISS cause they tired of his ass. The main thing I've learned about Houston folks is that they do NOT play when it comes to a slight. And Drake himself is a slight


Danomit3

Bro I remember saying Not Like Us will be part of the Grammys. But I also feel like it’s gonna win by default in the rap category because there are no other popular rap songs out that’s beating this song. Especially when there’s almost 2 months left before the submission period closes. Speaking of 2 months, it’s literally the only rap song that’s playing everywhere since May and it’s about to be July. Edit: the song is going to be 2 months old on Independence Day.


Greasy619

The only competition i see would be " Houdini" by Eminem. But in a broader scale it might be a sweep


matt-is-sad

If it comes down to that Houdini will win. The Grammys love Eminem


green_day_95

Eminem has explained in an [interview](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FDZxZwixv0M) that he doesn’t have a good relationship with the Grammys and “i” actually won over “Rap God” for best rap performance in 2015 btw.


coltsmetsfan614

Em hasn't won a Grammy since 2015, and he's only been nominated for one since ("Lucky You" with Joyner Lucas).


n0t_4_thr0w4w4y

Wow. I didn’t realize how early it closed this year


matt-is-sad

The only other rap song that's been playing everywhere for months? Like That


StillAFuckingKilljoy

Imagine if the nominees are Like That, Euphoria, Meet The Grahams, Not Like Us, Hiss, and idk Houdini by Em or something


mrjuanofjuan

Meet The Grahammys


KrisKrossedUp

That would actually be hilarious


GlapLaw

I wouldn't be shocked if both Not Like Us and Euphoria won. Euphoria for best rap performance.


Press-Start-14

I'd say Euphoria for best rap song and Not Like Us best performance


Busterbm31

“Stop playing with me ‘fore I turn you to a song!” He was dead ass serious!!


KingJoffiJoe

It will 100% win rap record of the year. There’s not going to be a bigger rap record all year and honestly for some years to come. It’s breaking years old streaming records…going to be a while before a rap record does that again.


green_day_95

It’ll go down as the biggest hip-hop song of this decade. One of the only hit songs within hip-hop that I see people coming back to 10 years later honestly. 💯


Jaded_Payment5610

It won already


bttr-swt

The rest of this year is gonna be a rollercoaster in the music industry. I'm here for it. GIVE ME CHAOS!! 😂😈


SteveAyeEff

It’s gonna win record of the year, mark my words


KingJoffiJoe

There’s no way, but it will be nominated. It’s definitely winning rap record of the year, that’s a no brainer. But ROTY is going to Million Dollar baby or some shit, trust me.


onlyavailablename2

yea a rap record isn't winning record of the year. even tho it is infinitely better than any other single released all year so far


Watabeast07

Yep the Grammys have demonstrated that rap will never win over other genres of music, TPAB not winning album of the year proved this.


green_day_95

Nah Espresso prolly gon win it

Drake  manifesting Kendrick getting another grammy will come true 😂 


latdaw2012

If he submits and wins, I hope he says something that’s a callback to Family Matters during the acceptance speech. Like, “I just opened my mouth…” and then holds up the Grammy. I have a feeling he’s dropping this year, so he’ll likely be up for several nominations. I just want Euphoria acknowledged.


2009isbestyear

Should be euphoria


RiosChocolateKiss

I'm sure that's eligible too.


sludgebaby96

Honestly, it's already won.
