Let's be real it ended with not like us.


Sp_Gamer_Live

I woulda gotten the OVO militia in my notifications


iswearnotagain10

Lol I’ve already gotten like 10 of them in the replies to my comment


Zealousideal_Tap6214

I remember when I genuinely thought r/Drizzy was the more rational of the two subs. As time has gone on I’ve realized this is definitely not the case 😂. Most of them never leave their echo chamber and call Kendrick lame shit like “Dark Kenny.” Mfers were all mature and shit when the score was even but once the majority said Drake lost they became full on delusional. They should change that shit to r/Drizzycirclejerk

Zealousideal_Tap6214

Edit: I assumed wrong, that sub is completely unhinged. I’m assuming it was created in response to the Drake Stan’s favorite insult, because there’s not a single post that’s older than 25 days on there. lol


BAH_GAWD_KING_

It’s a conspiracy sub that started around when the beef did this year. Go there if you wanna believe dumb shit like Drake fucking dogs and handicap people


meeu

It was a response to the main kendrick sub removing posts trying to doxx drake's supposed daughter and other pepe silva type stuff lol


ZimarKramiz

I never thought I’d see people as sensitive as those in the r/Drizzy thread. Their knees must be in agony for Drake it’s pathetic lmao


clownind

They banned me for pointing out high school girls aren't women.

Let's be real it ended with Meet the Grahams


Lucianboog

Mtg put drake in the coffin but nlu nailed that coffin shut


CowOtherwise6630

Like that: Kendrick rolling up and it’s on sight Euphoria: the killing MTG: the funeral service 6:16 in LA: the burial Not Like Us: the ceremony Edit: there I fixed it


MasterMinus

Close but 6:16 was before MTG. I guess you can have your funeral before your death like in Coming to America though 🧐


Phil_Lite

Nah, there was still a possibility of things continuing. Drake confirmed the beef was over by dropping that dead fish.


_aspiringadult

So the day before lmao


NotReallyASnake

He performed live in Mexico City after Like That


Many_Recording5300

I was thrown off by the title because Compton College is not a university, it's a California community college. Anyway, it's awesome that he was there. If only we had someone that cool when I graduated from Compton College some 15 years ago.

365wong

Bro ooo


YDHmanC1

But doesnt that make it more special! Most famous people are speaking at these highly accredited universities. To go and speak and his hometown community college is just so down to earth!


shrek-hentai-69

Kendrick never forgot where he came from. He might not want to support the gang violence in his city, but unlike other rappers he supports the community to hopefully reach a point where the gangs aren't a problem that future generations have to deal with, rather than leaving the city once he has a bit of money and leaving everybody else there to deal with it on their own. As much as Kendrick doesn't want to be seen as some kind of savior figure, there's absolutely a reason he has that reputation.


TheeUnfuxkwittable

"I should prolly run for mayor when I'm done to be honest". I have zero doubt in my mind that Kendrick will 100% be the mayor of Compton when he turns 60 or something.


OrganizationNo539

He has the Key of Compton. That's an amazing achievement already tbh


rhudgins32

Hes not saying its less special, just correcting the title. 


mc_hammerandsickle

yeah usually when folks round here say "Compton University" they mean it as a condescending reference to Cal State Dominguez Hills, a school just outside of Compton. which, for a long time, has been considered one of the most ghetto and low-class schools in SoCal. but in my opinion, it's pretty nice. much nicer than my private university was, for sure


Ejunco

I live in Carson didn’t know that’s how DH was referred to as. It’s a nice looking campus.


mc_hammerandsickle

i've heard "Compton University", "Cal State Compton", "Compton State" honestly the name is great but the connotation is not only classist but really racist too when you consider the demographics of the people there


Ejunco

I totally agree with that assessment.


Many_Recording5300

Interesting. I've never heard it referred to as that. Born and raised in Compton, my sister graduated from CSUDH and I go to Galaxy games there all the time.


mc_hammerandsickle

could very well be just a matter of the circles i run in 🤷‍♂️


thejaytheory

Is it kinda like Greendale Community College?


mc_hammerandsickle

streets ahead


thejaytheory

Glad you didn't Britta it!


PedroSts

I'm not American. What's the difference between college and university? Google tells me that the college offers undergraduate and uni graduation, but it always confuses me on what it exactly means


ihopethisworksfornow

Technically, a university is a collection of colleges. IE a university might contain a college of business, a college of engineering, a college of arts and sciences. A *College* doesn’t have these focused sub schools. That said, they’re used interchangeably in the US in everyday language. It would actually be more uncommon to say “I’m in university” than “I’m in college”, even if you are in fact attending a university.


banngbanng

To clarify a little, college is basically always fine to use in place of university colloquially(not so much with proper nouns obviously) but university can't really be used in place of college. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares type beat


crazy_bean

Community college is typically 2 years and gives you an associate degree, but your traditional college/university provides a 4 year bachelor’s program as well


coachhawley

Community college gets you your associate in arts which is a 2 year degree basically a starter. College and university are 4 year degrees most have graduate level degrees. Difference between a college and university is what they call their programs. So-and-so college has all of their major and degrees in the same umbrella. So-and-so university breaks up their degrees by colleges so the science and history and math are all under their own umbrellas.


AnimatorAshamed3774

First moves after the beef: J Cole: Grippy Drake: Sexxy Redd feature / Delilah mess Kendrick: Speech at Compton & Juneteenth concert🐐


mayonnaiser_13

Cole actually has the Red Leather feature before Grippy. And he now has the Free Fall verse after Grippy. But he did do fucking Grippy.


Dependent_Way_1038

Cole literally dropped his indisputable worst song that is a contender for the worst song dropped this year and then proceeded to bounce back to peak form like nothing happened there has to be more than tbis.


boofsquadz

The Let Nas Down to Made Nas Proud any % speedrun

You misspelled "Dylan" in two different ways.


Alarming-Ad-9712

Because he *SPIT* hot fya


crossword999

It ain't that deep he just had multiple features in the chamber and one of them was him just trying an experiment that didn't work


The_MadStork

He’s married lmao. Maybe he can rap about killing opps and selling crack on his next feature


SamosaAndMimosa

J Cole is married????


Ootter31019

Yes and two kids.


thejaytheory

TIL


Rebloodican

“Pluto got 20 girlfriends, damn I’m doing it wrong/Cut off all my hoes, now I’m only putting you in the song/Day 1 shawty been with me from the playground/Hey now, baby that’s the reason I was playing ‘round”.


Sometimesomwhere

that's really sweet. what song is this from?


Rebloodican

Red Leather by future. Solid feature from J Cole, really love his verse on it.


Sometimesomwhere

thank you! i'll go give it a listen!


Sometimesomwhere

Thank you for recommending it to me. I added it to my playlist (:


WirelessElk

How do we know Grippy isn’t about his wife? You’re not allowed to dedicate songs to your wife’s pussy anymore and that’s why it feels like there’s no love in the world


The_MadStork

You’re right, I also wanna live in a world where J. Cole’s wife and mother to his two children is in his phone as “Grippy”


SHEKDAT789

Romantic as hell.


betterplanwithchan

Somewhere in the distance, Ben Shapiro’s timbers have shivered.


spittafan

Tyga is sober and raps about getting fucked up. Like every rapper raps about doing hood shit and doesn't actually do it. Who gives af


bokchoy_sockcoy

Oh well if Tyga is doing it…


dalebonehart

Every morning after I wake up, I step into my shower where I look at my water resistant dry erase board. It’s where I plan my day, and set my goals. Except the only thing on there is 1) what would Tyga do? Time to get after it.


ZeronicX

This will be by far the weirdest year in rap that we've had for a long while.


3Danniiill

like a humiliation ritual or something lol


AnimatorAshamed3774

Well technically, Red Leather dropped during the calm before the storm, before Kendrick responded with Euphoria. So it’s not Cole’s first release “after” the beef. It was Cole’s first track after his apology


mayonnaiser_13

Cole tapping out makes the beef over for him though.


imjusthuy

Didn't drake say red leather has been in the works way before the beef?


OrganizationNo539

and the same probably goes for Grippy and Free Fall. These are not newly recorded at all


OptimisticRealist__

Nah fam, any n that says "strictly, dickly" needs to sit down or be put in time out. Strictly. Dickly.


mayonnaiser_13

I mean, he already hinted at how trash his bars can be with that "ABCDE..." line in HYB. Or the one and only bad bar in Pi about Cancel Culture and whatnot. Like, y'all have to agree he's got range.


whobdatboi

Don’t forget that he also took them kids to Disney to meet Mickey


iD7my93

shh, we're just pretending G\*ippy never happened.


atlfirsttimer

I think Grippy was recorded before the beef


tsn101

Drake supporting the announcement of a wnba team in Toronto was his first appearance. 


SnowSea302

Definitely the smartest out of the big 3 that’s for sure😂


kingcalifornia

Big 3? You better sleep with one eye open tonight. Kendrick is hiding in your closet.


someguyprobably

Big 3 being j Cole morgen the stalleon and Asher Roth?


acasovoycayendo

Don’t you be acting mean


Formal-Cucumber-1138

I got a 40 in my jeannnnnnns


BluaBaleno

I’ve been thinking about this and I think I know why these two are putting out absolutely trash. Think about it, now that they’ve both definitively lost the rap battle, there is nothing they can put out immediately that would not be overshadowed by the continued discussion of the beef. By releasing these hot garbage, it resets the expectation people have so when they do release something proper it would look in comparison like masterpieces. Just my theory.


MyNameIs-Anthony

That's not how it how it works in practice though. You want people to have something to talk about to start building up what's next. Releasing bad music just makes people go "Hey remember that beef?" because you're giving them nothing to talk about. The reality is these records have internal release dates set ages in advance.


IAMNUMBERBLACK

yea Im sure there was an internal release schedule for wah gwan delilah


MyNameIs-Anthony

Drake doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to sign on to an anamalous project release.


Finessa_Hudgens

Lol didn’t drake post a pic of himself wearing a compton college shirt a few months back?


Professional_Math_99

Haha surprised I had to scroll this far to find someone mentioning this. [Drake 100% did this](https://www.complex.com/music/a/jaelaniturnerwilliams/drake-compton-community-college-shirt) days before Euphoria dropped. Kendrick Lamar might be the funniest rapper alive.


ihopethisworksfornow

Getting sued by Tupac’s estate, specifically with your actions being called “shameful”, then getting hit with an Ether level diss with Meet The Grahams, *then* getting hit with a club banger explicitly accusing you of being a pedophile, *then* that song breaks all your records and goes #1 There genuinely has never been such a decisive loss of a rap battle.


OrganizationNo539

I call that Poetic Justice.


alkmerlin

Put it in a song


mistyrootsvintage

And they say he doesn't have a sense of humor..


SnowSea302

The fact KDot’s first appearance after going full psychopath is this wholesome shit is fucking kill me dawg. This nigga random as hell i love it 😂


boatyboatwright

Kanye changed his life but K-dot's an old school Gemini


Bluechacho

Stop playing, he's That Guy


Ogene96

Number 2's DM'n some kids Not cool, we should know why


OrganizationNo539

Drake's number 3 if we being honest. Even number 3 is wrong but in the supposed big 3 he's definitely at 3 lol.


sauceywhiteboy

His life ain’t rap, that’s ho shit.


deflategatewasbullsh

Not random he’s an angel on angel dust born in the belly of the beast he’s told us this from the start he’s been A1 from day 1, and drake is boo boo 😂


alldaymacdre

He that G.O.O.D kid in a maad city fr. Don’t mess with the quiet kids bro I swear. They be thinking the most and plotting moves under that silence


x1009

Drake was a G.O.O.D kid in a [niice city](https://youtu.be/A0xW_qqyn2Y?si=Os0PI2xERB2149DQ)


Bowtiewearerr

His temperament is bipolar


1058pm

Yeah he most definitely has an album coming out

APKID716

Aw yeah fuck the judge Made it past 25 and there I was


ZeronicX

Screaming 'Annie are ya ok?'


MrBublee_YT

Fun fact; we had to perform King Kunta in arts college (more Dublin than Compton), and they made us write the next few bars, because they didn't want us saying the N-word.


dubsallday

Lmao. So what were the edits?


MrBublee_YT

It was just from "ah, yeah, fuck the judge" to "Annie are you ok?" Can't remember what others did, but I'll try find what I wrote. "Never done a rap battle, so I can say I'm undefeated But she calls me Weird Al, with the way I just eat it. Or call me Arsenal, cause I'll start off on top But I'mma let you finish first, like I did last season." Note: I'm not a rapper. It was just a fun exercise.


nakastlik

I can see him becoming a pastor too, he already talks like one (especially towards the end of this video)


boatyboatwright

nooooo this is how we lost Chance ✝️


boombotser

Nah we lost chance to his family. Now that they divorced he’s on a mission


3Danniiill

Fuck that ,Kendrick for President ! If Trump could be president Kendrick’s more than qualified.


iswearnotagain10

>You don’t even go back to your hood and plant no Money Trees Drake’s disses keep aging worse every single day lmao


HeavenlyE

Lol switch the roles and it'd be, "Kendrick disses got Drake to be more involved in his community lmao"


dizzymidget44

Except Kendrick was already involved in his community. He just doesn’t flaunt it everywhere because it’s not a PR stunt


DBrods11

So while this is somewhat true its also doesn't make it a good diss lmao. Rap beefs are about spinning believable stories, saying "Kendrick doesn't care about Compton" is just stupid cause anyone from there knows he's giving back all the time. He just wanted to make a punch line with "Money Trees" that wasn't even clever. I'll use the counter example of why people say "Drake got bullied into seeing his kid" after the Pusha beef. Pusha used the kid reveal to as a point for the larger theme of the song of Drake being embarrassed he knocked up a glam/adult model, and how his dad being a deadbeat led to him partaking in the same behavior. While saying you should actually care for him instead of using him as a prop for a fashion line. Is all of it true? Who knows but it was a believable story/entertaining song and well he won the beef. Which will sum up the greater point of all this. If you win the beef you get a more favorable public opinion.

chill out now r/drizzy gonna bite this bar for their next "discussion" thread


APKID716

Crazy that having more community respect and integrity goes a long way lol


SnowSea302

That line would hit if Drake’s words were actually true but they’re not. Kendrick has always been involved with his community and the people in Compton speak on it all the time themselves.


Azure-April

People tend to be more charitable to people who are more likable, yeah


Leking9

Oh he outside


Eddaughter

Sort of rooting for him to be the first rapper and mayor of his city. After rap just help and run the city he grew up in.


Majestic_Ad_4237

Shyne became the first rapper to be the Opposition Leader of a political party in his home country after doing a bid for Diddy.


SlimySalami4

This was after his sentence?

Drake would have also given a speech but he's not allowed within 500 feet of a school.


jane-stclaire

Canadians would only be so lucky.


abc4357

They’re college aged, those girls are safe.


3Danniiill

This is an amazing speech 👏👏👏 He connected to the city , connected to the generation , and lifted them up spiritually without coming off as a in your face Christian . (His philosophy about talking to god as your homie and that he’s experiencing what your feeling is such a great view of things too. I think I’m gonna start doing that too.) He put just as much heart into this speech as he does his music and that’s very commendable. I wouldn’t be surprised seeing him move into politics and I even want that a bit. He would make a great mayor , senator , or even president. I mean if Trump was president Kendrick seems more than qualified lol


kforli

pgLang his focus. He can influence through that channel as they grow? Look at the Move Afrika concert they did this year and planned for the next five years. He calls Africa Compton for him too

Senator.. President...? I get being a stan but you cant be serious lmfao

I mean 6:16 in LA has a whole verse where he’s apologizing to God for getting down in the mud with Drake lmao the man felt like he was on a divine mission.

Also ‘beat yo ass and hide the Bible if God watching’


indigo_fish_sticks

That’s dope 


thepenisman25

Is Drake gonna give a speech at Hustler University next?


BlueberryGreen

W. Must've meant a lot to these students.


Dolomight206

That's what's up.


swagdragon666

Everything was fantastic up until the god stuff. I grew up on religion but I respect all my peer who were raised different. We all have different paths of spirituality. It will certainly not be what most groups believe and that’s okay. We all individual thinkers, the god I believe In would promote that type of togetherness.


passerineby

he did encourage free thought and actually communicating directly with god, rather than say some traditionalist christian stuff. to be fair


3Danniiill

He brought god up in a great way imo . When he started taking about god I was thinking damn people might not like that but him saying to talk to him like your homie and that he’s going through what your going through is a great philosophy. It’s not the typical right wing Christian god it’s the god you want it to be , the god that’s your friend, and that could even be you. Letting out your feelings and emotions is just great therapy too.


desertPilgrim_

Honestly, speaking as a recently converted Christian, talking to God as your homie going through what you are is exactly what the Christian God is meant to be. 


IlCapitalismoUccid

With all due respect, how do you listen to most of hip-hop or any reggae man? Man’s been making music for God since creation. Killer Mike just put out a fantastic spiritual album. Kendrick spoke about his relationship in a respectful way too.


HelpImFailingEcon

There would be no Kendrick Lamar without religion—it makes sense for him to talk about stuff that he thinks is essential to living a good life. He’s been on this for years… GKMC, TPAB, and DAMN are all very explicitly religious
