Not to get overly sentimental but rap beef is honestly such a creative form of expression. Like we’re going to hold off on kicking the shit out of each other and calling up shooters to make clever rhymes about each other and get the common man saying words like ‘double entendre.’
Here’s a couple of suggestions of other diss tracks to listen to if you’ve found you’ve liked bitchy poetry:
Ether - Nas (2001) - diss track vs Jay Z & widely considered to be one of the best diss tracks ever released. It’s a response to Jay Z’s diss ‘Takeover’ which at the time of its release left people thinking Nas’ career was over and then Nas uno reversed that shit with Ether and it’s still considered to be a miracle that Jay Z managed to maintain his fame.
Hit ‘em up - 2Pac (1996) -diss track vs Biggie & Bad Boy records. Part of the East Coast / West Coast beef. 2Pac was shot 5 times and survived and Biggie released a song called ‘Who Shot Ya.’ Hit em up is Pac’s response and it’s iconic. Plus the tune is groovy as shit.
Real Muthaphuckkin’ G’s - Eazy E (1993) - Dr Dre left his group NWA over a dispute about contracts/pay. He later released a song called ‘Fuck with Dre Day’ where he had a go at Eazy E (the lead rapper of NWA). Eazy released this in response and it’s another groovy, west coast banger.
Story of Adidon- Pusha T (2018) - Pusha T walked so Kendrick Lamar could run. Need I say more.
No Vaseline - Ice Cube (1991) - vs remaining members of NWA. Cube was the first to leave NWA over contracts/pay disputes. The remaining members released an album, with subtle disses against him. Ice Cube, as Ice Cube does, got pissed.
Life’s on the Line - 50 Cent (2003) - adding this because 50 Cent hates as easily as he breathes and it’s something to marvel at. His beef with Ja Rule started in ‘99 when Ja Rule was robbed by 50’s people and then one thing lead to another and 50 was stabbed and then he was shot 9 times. ‘Time is the best medicine-‘ no. no it’s not. If anything 50 gets angrier through the years. 19 years later 50 bought 200 tickets to Ja Rule’s concert so the front rows were completely empty.
#maybe i’m just being hormonal but what a weirdly wholesome way to channel anger#this beef has resulted in some of Kendrick’s best work since DAMN#‘grown men rap beefing-’ STFU#rap started off with slam poetry this is how the culture was born#kendrick lamar#drake#kendrick vs drake#hip hop#2pac#edited to add no vaseline cuz i don’t even know how i forgot that#thanks person who tagged it

"The audience not dumb. Shape the stories how you want, hey Drake, they're not slow"
And this is why, at his core, Kendrick is the better artist.
It's a reoccurring theme in his music.
He refuses to treat us as if we're stupid. He refuses to cater to the crowd. He refuses to baby anyone.
So he lets himself be as tricky with his sound as he wants. He trusts that if we want, we can catch all his clever references and all the double, triple, quadruple entendres.
Now, as an avid reader, this is a huge rule in writing in general.
Don't treat your readers as if they're stupid. Don't spell everything out to them because you don't want them to miss your metaphors, the messages you're trying to convey.
If you treat them as if their brains are smoother than Kendrick's delivery, you're going to attract an audience who wants, not to think, but to mindlessly consume.
If you treat your audience as if they're sharper than Kendrick's insults, you'll attract an audience fit to properly digest everything you put out.
He doesn't have a damn Pulitzer prize for nothing.
And he's not one of the greatest artists out there for nothing, either.

having been a taylor pop girlie all my life, this rap beef is making me understand that there's actually a lot of lyricism in rap that's not just tip-of-the-iceberg shit. i gotta admit, i listened to mr. morale and the big steppers after hearing not like us, and i shed more than a few tears.
so, this is me swallowing my pride and asking for rap record recommendations. please?
#absolutely LOVED the lyricism on meet the grahams#rap#kendrick lamar#drake#recommendations#mr morale and the big steppers#kendrick vs drake#kendrick diss#ngl i think i might just switch over to rap#if the writing is as good as kendricks???? damn i might just put up a poster

i am a huge kendrick lamar fan but i remember a time when i wasn’t and i would listen to tracks like HUMBLE on the radio and not understand them in the greater context of DAMN. even though a large message of the album was to deconstruct the harmful and ignorant view of hiphop by the greater (white-dominant) media. so it’s frustrating to see people be straight up racist as soon as the kendrick/drake beef enters the larger public consciousness.
#‘i don’t like rap’ please reconsider. ‘i thought kendrick was a basketball player’ keep your ignorance to yourself.#kendrick lamar#kendrick diss#drake diss#drake#kendrick drake beef#like that#euphoria#meet the grahams#6:16 in la#DAMN.#HUMBLE
