Kendrick Tried to Warn Drake & J. Cole

Recently Future and Metro Boomman released their collaborative album We Don't Trust You on that album there was a song with Kendrick Lamar called that where Kendrick shot Drake and J Cole for many listeners it was a surprise that Kendrick shot these guys and it took over the internet by storm, everyone was talking about it and many people were left with questions like why would Kendrick criticize Drake, why would he criticize his school and why would a future former friend of Drake's let this happen on his album, well today I'm going to see it too. My name is Mdy Balls.

I will post a video every Sunday this year at 12:00 p.m. m. CST, so if you like music related topics like this, be sure to stick around and subscribe now, let's continue. It all started in 2011, when Kendrick came onto the scene after Section 80. Drake and Kendrick met Drake. Kendrick appeared in Buried Alive And. He even invited Kendrick to join him on tour, they also collaborated a few more times, but that friendship quickly turned into a bitter rivalry in August 2013 after Kendrick's verse about controlling Big Sean's song came out. I, I, like Rocky Drake, the great shron, Tyler McMiller, I have love for all of you, but I'm trying to murder you, trying to make sure your core fans have never heard of you, they don't want to hear another one, this verse sent the rap game. in shock and everyone thought it was crazy and most people understood what he was saying, that he was cool with all these people but he's also competitive and wants to be the best in the rap game, but the good one Drake, who is known for being a bit Sensitive seemed to have taken this the wrong way.

Drake did a handful of interviews after this, hinting at the fact that the verse damaged their relationship and basically saying that Kendrick did all of this just for a brief influence. Drake also said that he didn't really have anything. Saying it sounded like ambitious thinking to me, that's all. I know damn well that Kendrick isn't murdering me on any platform, so when he shows up that day, I guess we can revisit the topic, which is fun because everyone. he's revisiting the topic right now anyway, Kendrick was quick to criticize Drake at the BET Cipher Awards when he said nothing's been the same since they lost control and stuffed a sensitive rapper into his pajamas.

Drake responded in his song The Language and then said that he had to stand his ground, but there was no hard feelings, where are they with much of the cast now like the jco of the world or Dres of the world? Where are you now? Same place, same place, it's all. Love from the moment I did the verse until after the verse, at this point it was clear that there was at least some kind of animosity between the artists, but not a super intense fight. Over the next few years, the two artists shot back and forth. others, like when Kendrick said in King Kuna after allegations that Drake ghostwrote.

I like to rap, but a rapper with a ghostwriter, what happened. Drake then responded in the game's 100th song by saying: I'd have all your fans if I didn't pop. and I was kind of conscious in 2017. Kendrick took some pretty direct shots at Drake on the Heart part 4 when he said: Jay-Z Hall of Famer, sit down punk, that means you ain't no bigger than rapping. He said this because Drake. He said he could make more money outside of rap and his producer also said that they make music in a genre beyond rap. Of course, there have been a handful of criticisms and other issues over the last decade between Kendrick and Drake, but I'm just trying to highlight the important things because it would be a very long video as we know although Kendrick took a 5 year hiatus after 2018 and while he was away Drake kept making ha and references to him you know the other two guys that I am.

You constantly know who they are like Cole and Kendrick. I'm excited that the decade is about to turn and we're going to see who can know who can, who can go the extra mile with these guys that are going away three, four, five years. I want to relax all that that's not me Drake even took a super straight shot when he said fake woke fake deep you're not famous before me take a little look at your ass now you have to stay in the backseat but Kendrick couldn't Keep letting this go When Kendrick returned, he released an introspective album and collaborated with Baby Keem several times, but his priority clearly wasn't Drake, other than smoking your top five line on Family Ties, but after a while it seems like Kendrick was sick of Drake running his mouth doing Jabs and subliminals on every other album he released, do you think he thinks Drake is on par with him?

No, he's fine, that's not hell. No. Kendrick knew Drake wasn't better than him and he wanted to make sure Drake. I also knew that all of this led to March 22, 2024. When Future Metro Boomman and Kendrick Lamar released the song like this, when people listened to Future and Metro Boom's collaborative album We't Trust You, they quickly noticed that the feature of Kendrick in the song. so it was addressed to Drake at first his verse doesn't seem particularly directed at anyone until he says F sneaky dson first person shooter I hope they came with three switches, he continues later saying The big three, I'm just big, I'm really like that and you best job is a light package Prince outlives Mike Jack because all your dogs get buried that's cool with all these nines he's going to see a pet cemetery this is a pretty obvious reference to Drake and J's first-person shooter song Cole where it is repeated repeatedly in the song Drake and J.Cole talk about how they are the best, but there is also a line from Cole in the first-person shooter where he says love when they argue.

The hardest MC is K. Is it Aubrey or me? The big three like we're starting a league Drake j

cole

and Kendrick have always been seen as the big three of hippop in the last decade and a half, but Kendrick came out saying he's the best Kendrick also sees some of the lines of the first-time shooter game person like sneaks like Who The Goat Who you really root for like a kid who acts up from January to November, it's just you and Cole, so while Jay Cole named all three artists in the big three, Drake only named himself himself and Cole, leaving Kendrick out of the equation, not only that, but Kendrick. targets Drake in particular by saying that Drake's best work is a light backpack and then compares him and Drake to Michael Jackson and Prince since in the first-person shooter Drake pointed out how he roped in Michael Jackson for number one songs.

Prince survived Mike Jack, which, damn, is a cold. bar, not just because you're literally talking about how long you both lived on this planet, but obviously Kendrick is getting a little conceptual here making a comparison, your pop, your mainstream, your lowest common denominator, you agree with me. I am Prince, I am the experimenter, I am the innovator, I am the one who dares, I am the mold that other people copy, I am the one who is ahead of the curve. Then Kendrick directly references Drake's album for all the dogs. saying that they are burying them like in Stephen King's book, the pet show with such direct shots taken against Drake, the rest of the verse makes a lot more sense when Kendrick says lines like these people who talk non-stop say that they are a lot of fools with a check. and people clicking but can't be legit, even lines like Money Power Respect, the last one is better, can be interpreted in a way that shows Kendrick rising above Drake because Kendrick has that respect from OG rappers from pure boys rap fans. who really love the art that Drake never had or never got now Drake has earned the respect of OGs and pure rap fans like him don't get me wrong but he didn't get it right away like Kendrick did.

They came in and everyone was like, “Okay, this is the guy,” so we understand why Kendrick went after Drake. It's common knowledge that he and Drake haven't been big fans of each other, but why would he go after Cole? A lot of people think J.Cole got caught in the dick crossfire but j

cole

and Kendrick have been throwing subliminal messages at each other for a while now rap is a very competitive genre and it's no secret that real lyricists want to be the best there are and even though Cole and Kendrick have been good friends for years, there seems to have been some sort of animosity between the two artists over the last decade, similar to Kendrick and Drake.

Kendrick and Cole used to be good friends in the early 2010s, when jcole met Kendrick he immediately knew he had talent. and he wanted to sign him, Cole was sending him beats, they collaborated here and there and they were even talking about doing a collaborative album. This is something that never happened and many fans speculated until recently that this collaborative album would come out, but their friendship is similar to that of Drake. and Kendrick would become a rivalry with the control versions of Kendrick in 2013, as I said before he mentioned Cole but again he also said that he loves all of these artists.

Jcole has made it very clear that he is a competitive artist and that he sees artists like Kendrick and Drake as his competitors, he even hinted at the fact that in the past it may have affected his relationships because I think I was so competitive that I don't know how they would feel if they had to talk to them, but I know for myself I was so competitive from the beginning that even though we were all friends, I would say that we were all friends and friendly as if I were not. been that person, so it's very likely that this control verse lit the flame in Cole, not only that, but Kendrick began winning multiple awards like bets and Grammys on Cole, along with lists like the list of most popular MCs in MTV, where Kendrick got number one and Co Cole didn't.

Even these things probably led Jcole to feel like he'd been left out of the conversation and possibly even made him feel some kind of animosity toward Kendrick throughout his entire career. They have been compared to each other and most people agree that Kendrick was the best. artist but despite all this they maintain the fact that they were great, although the last time people saw them together was in 2017, then in 2018 Cole decided to close the possibility of a collaborative album with him and Kendrick, as I mentioned before, Kendrick though. There was a bit of a hiatus for about 5 years, so the idea of ​​the two having issues wasn't really a discussion in the interview I played before, the one that was released in 2021.

Cole said that he had focused more on building relationships . with Kendrick and Drake instead of competing with them, you know, I don't want to be like, damn, we never, we never kicked it, you know what I mean, like we never really did anything, so I'm, I'm, I'm on That point where it's like he's more interested in the genuine relationship than before. He was interested in the competition and it seems like he was able to build that relationship with Drake. I mean, they're literally on tour right now, but Kendrick seems to be. a different story when Kendrick returned in 2022 with his album Mr morale and the big steppers, people speculated that his line in the song Count Me Out was directed at Cole, he said that there is no one but the mirror looking for the fall and many people he knows.

Jay Cole's latest album is supposed to be called Falloff. A handful of fans have also speculated that Cole has also been sending subliminal messages to Kendrick, especially in his song with Benny the Butcher, called Caddy by Johnny Pe in the song. He said things like "I played your favorite." rapper's neck and a rope that never lets go I'll probably go to hell if I ask Jesus for a characteristic some see the empty glass I see a glass full of ether collecting his bread at mass as if he were a Catholic preacher some speculated that these lines were addressed to Benny himself, but Benny said he didn't believe it, so he thought they were meant for someone else, which on my record, you know, people ask me about that, but we've been debating about that man like he's talking. to someone, man, if you ask me, if you ask me, he was talking to someone.

I saw FKS. I saw people saying that they felt like he might have been shooting at his own drive. I was like, no, this led some people to think. was talking about Kendrick because of the religious imagery in his humble video and also Cole said at the end of the song about God, the greatest rapper alive shot in the head, now go ask the greatest rappers that died, they tell you that He never lied, so it seems. could be a reference to when Kendrick said he's the greatest alive, so great he died, some also interpreted his verse about Yachty's secret recipe for shooting Kendrick as well because of lines like progressive fake people and wo, I started saying less, I had to do it. enough, take a look at how they benefit from racial stress.

The studio steppers move more on fake songs and represent this looks even more like a Kendrick record when you think about the fact that Drake also called itfake awakening with all this in mind first. The personal shooter may contain more Kendrick sneak attacks from Cole than many thought. Cole said that a lot of people debate on my number, not the three or the two. I am the UN. And he also said that we are the Big Three like we started a league, but right now. I feel like Muhammad Ali and Muhammad Ali were dubbed the best so here's Cole in this song saying that while these other guys are good he's still the best and even though a lot of people thought Cole got caught in the crossfire between Drake and Kendrick. beef it seems like Kendrick was a little more intentional with his disco, even Kendrick's line if you walk with that stick, Ain Andre 3K can be interpreted as an insult to Cole since he has a song called stick where he talks about keeping one with him .

Even though Kendrick mainly went after Draon as it seems he wanted Cole to know he was the best, that's why Kendrick chose to respond to the first person shooter instead of just belittling Drake like he has done throughout his career. . I also have to give a big shout out to which one because he made a really good video about Coleen Kendrick's subliminal meat over the years and he had a lot of information and speculation, he even said he would bet his entire channel that Kendrick would respond to the shooter in first person and he did it, which is absolutely crazy. so be sure to watch the video of him after this if you want a much deeper breakdown of Cole and Kendrick's relationship with even more evidence that there has been a subliminal battle between the two, but this leaves us with one last question.

Why would Future and Metro Boomman be okay with such a direct record on their album? Well, we know that Metro Boomman and Drake have been having a bit of trouble for a while. It all started when Drake was left out of the heroes of the Metro Boom album. and Villains in December 2022, Metro explained that there really wasn't room for Drake and that he liked the album as it was and couldn't find a place for Drake. One time I was in the studio with Drake because we were going to do some stuff on my album and he just wanted to hear some songs off my album, and then he heard that one and he really wanted to move on, but I was letting him know that I was actually done for real. and I was I was really just thinking about what it was like I was like bro I'm not even trying to sell you any dreams like I was really locked up I'm locked up where I was we don't really know if this is the only reason he started fighting or if there was more , but that's how Metro explained it, regardless of the feud flirting again more recently when Drake on 21 Savages' collaborative album Her Lost still won best album of the year over his album Heroes & Villains, Metro tweeted still. the loss of him still winning rap album of the year over heroes and villains, proof that awards shows are just politics and not for me.

I don't care about awards, honestly the real reward and reward is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to people's everyday lives, this tweet was quickly deleted, but from the tweets that Metro liked it is Of course he had a problem with Drake. Drake apparently and quite amusingly responded to this on a livestream and to the rest of you non-believers. The underperformers, the tweets and the deletes, you guys make my stomach turn fam, honestly if you want to look me in the eyes you want to do something, that's what I thought after this.

Metro published a RDC World meme on his Twitter, calm down. down Jamal don't pull out the nine it's just a joke come on don't shoot no Sho really don't so this fight was brief and it's public knowledge but no one even knew the future and Drake were fighting. until this album came out, leaving everyone wondering why Drake and Future were great friends for years, collaborating for the first time in 2011 on the remix of the future song Tony Montana. Interestingly, there was a bit of drama with this collaboration with Future Being. upset at Drake for not showing up to the video shoot, which is understandable regardless of the fact that they were able to put that aside and collaborate on many more songs over the years.

There was another problem in 2013. When Future said he inspired Drake's song Started From The Bottom, he was In the studio session with me that was when I had the one and I started when you do it from the bottom. You the one, so when we were in the studio, Drake came to the studio and I always tell my engineer that he started from the bottom. So when I played the beats, I thought the man put the beats, so I always started from the bottom, so when I said I started from the bottom, he thought I was talking about a song, so when I played the chosen one, he loved the chosen one, but he was waiting for me on this and he chose one to say It started from the bottom, so he instantly said, he told me this story, he brought me a Luis 13 b that I never open, wow because of this story and I'm like man, I W B, I need Posting this was no big deal and they were still cool despite this, but it could have been another reason why there could have been some animosity between the two anyway in the future and Drake continued to collaborate for years to come with one of his most notable collaborations.

Being the collaboration album, what a time to be alive in 2015, it is also interesting to note that this album was executive produced by met inro boomman, they continued to collaborate frequently until 2022, when they last collaborated twice on Future's album. I never liked you, most fans had no clue that the future and Drake had any kind of problem until we trusted that you came out, that's when the internet sleuths got to work, a lot of people started to think that the Futures verse on the title track was an insult to Drake, he said you're my number one. fan dog sneaking down I don't understand pillow dog talking acting like a fed dog I don't need another fake friend can't be a hoe because we share your feelings why do you play then people started speculating about the reason they did it The fight was over a girl and even supposedly found the girl who she was, but Metro Boomman shut this down immediately by saying to stop making things up for the engagement and enjoy the music, but there was also another rumor circulating before the album released that future and Metro. were upset with Drake for some reason, Joe Button said before the album came out that he felt some tension between the two parties and back to my future Metro, Drake tension rising mhm, don't you think it's strange that it never happened nothing with that Smash success. song that the future and Drake did with Tims, what do you mean nothing, wait for you, it was a hit, it was a hit, when you say, I know it was a hit, it was a hit, what do you mean, nothing happened with it, I never heard it again, they also pointed out?

Find out in this podcast how the future and Metro were tight and because the future iconically says that if young Metro doesn't trust you I'll shoot you for Metro's producer label and the album was called We Don't Trust You and we knew there were some issues. between Metro and Drake, that future may have been on Metro's side just because they are friends with all this in mind, the whole album seems like it could be interpreted as a record for Drake, the title of the album is literally, we don't trust you. and a lot of the album's outros sound like they could be directed at Drake as well, so we can't say for sure if we know the exact reason why Future and Drake are fighting, but we do know that it is in fact happening regardless of this fight . allowed fans to perform earlier lines from Drake's latest album that sounded like Fan the Flames of the beef, for example, in four, all the dogs.

Drake had a song called What Would Pluto Do, where in the hook he said: What Does Pluto Do Hed F. Hi, so I did it originally, people thought this was a shout-out to the future, but looking back, it could have been a record and can also support the idea that they are fighting over a girl. There was even a lyric where Drake said in the song in the middle of the ocean the lyrics start to reveal themselves over periods of time, he promises that you'll get that when the sky clears up, many people again assume this was a reference to the future, even They even said that a lot of the song titles were based on Drake's titles, but I think that may have been a bit of an exaggeration, regardless of the fact that this whole issue swept the Internet and it seems that Drake may have indirectly responded to the album in a show where people asked me how I feel.

I'm going to let you know how I feel and I'll listen. I have my head held high and my back straight. I'm 10 toes away in Florida or anywhere else I go and I know it doesn't matter what's not on this Earth. ever with me in my life and that's why I want you to get out of here tonight. We even saw Drake like a post from Aiden Ross saying that Kendrick has a full track ready and Drake also posted on Instagram with the caption they'd rather go. war with me than admitting that you are his worst enemy.

There have also been these strange billboards popping up recently saying that hip hop is a competitive sport and we're not sure who puts them up other than Spotify, but something is brewing in this whole fight. has had a lot of artists choosing sides, even rick ross and nav unfollowed

drake

, it seems like the whole industry is going to war resulting in funny memes like this one and honestly i'm excited to see it develop so the only The question I have left for you is: Which side are you choosing?
