why kendrick won the beef
Ойын-сауық
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you the last week has been a crazy one, consumed by the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, two titans of modern hip-hop.
The beef has taken many unexpected turns, and I tried to address as many as possible in this video. However, one track still sticks out to me as particularly masterful: Kendrick's "Euphoria".
The first true Drake diss song from Kendrick Lamar, the track is hard-hitting, propulsive, and most interesting to me, rooted firmly in the narrative of Kendrick Lamar, hiding deeper narrative secrets underneath the surface.
It's those secrets I hope to sift through today as I break down the current Drake and Kendrick beef and explore the hidden genius of "Euphoria".

I’m a Kendrick fan, and I disagree, I believe Kendrick is one hell of a master manipulator. I believe he wanted it to escalate to where it’s at. Kendrick don’t rell spect Drake at all, he don’t like him and want to end his career. He’s not ending Drake career by having a fun rap battle, Kendrick was thinking war from the beginning. He used straight war tactics. Kendrick knew Drake was going to respond and talk about his wife. He knew Drake would that why I call cap on when Kendrick says “don’t respond or I’ll take it there”. Naw he baited him. He used war tactics, one of the best things he did was to project. Call Drake a master manipulator while it’s all apart of Kendrick’s master plan to call him that. Drake approached this as a battle, Kendrick approached this as War. There’s no rules in war, the dirtiest tactics shall be used and Kendrick used them. Bye Bye Pedo Drake. A new King has been crowned.
I think euphoria was more of Kendrick telling Drake to go sit with himself before getting messy. It was a friendly fade but of course Drake had to make it personal and Dot took it there
I’ve never understood Drake sending subliminals for years when everyone would’ve told you this would be how it’d end. Bro kept sticking his hand in a bear trap and has the audacity to call himself a victim when it finally took his hand off.

during his sofboy era, 'drake with the melodies', i think he would have leaned way more into the plausible deniability if someone were to push him it's just that he changed his persona to champagne papi without changing the strategy the industry noticed the opening, now if someone pushed back, he had to respond or it's over for this drake that act tough he also did a 180 by always escalating first to family, but that's more difficult to get a read on, that's just stupid

It’s a deep outward conflict between the real culture and the plastic culture Drake represents. Kendrick seen and watched Drake play around with and tear down everything that our pioneers fought to get. Kendrick had to remind the culture of what it needs to get off life support and recover. My six year old son is an amazing rapping prodigy and that’s because he understands the importance of our peoples history and the history of Hip Hop. The youth is going to usher back in real Hip Hop once again with integrity because Kendrick is showing them the way.

That's deep where kdot reached out to God before going in on Drake.
Great video. I’ve seen a lot of people say Kendrick contradicted his “leader” status by ruthlessly going at Drake, likely because Drake himself tried to discredit Kendrick as a leader. Thing is, Drake and everyone making those comments misinterpreted Kendrick’s entire artistic purpose. Kendrick has never claimed to be perfect in any way; he’s even made a point of portraying himself as a fairly fucked up person. Take the last verse on Mad City, or these walls, or u, or mortal man and the entire poem that runs throughout TPAB. He didn’t really believe in the “leadership” pedestal even before DAMN. and Mr. Morale. The point of Kendrick’s music is that acknowledging your own imperfections is the first step towards being a better person. Not a perfect person, or even a good person, just better. Better tomorrow than you are right now. That’s why he had to go after Drake: Drake, like Kendrick, is a deeply flawed person, but whereas Kendrick makes an effort to get better, Drake revels in his own degeneracy. Drake’s complacency within his costume of vile personas is what allowed him to sink past the point of forgiveness most good people draw. You don’t just start out like that… Drake is what happens when you let the worst parts of human being fester. His music is pacifying because there’s no internal conflict: Drake should get everything he wants and everyone in his way is a hater. It’s a narcissist’s dream, and it caters to the narcissist within all of us who’d rather pin are struggles on other people than ourselves. Kendrick’s music is often challenging and uncomfortable because he represents the internal conflict we need to engage in. Kendrick is the flawed man trying to be better. Drake is what happens when you give up.
Drake's fans are consumers of the watered-down pop version of hip-hop. They're as authentic as Drake is, which is not at all. Them dissing 'Euphoria' because it wasn't danceable (why TF should a diss record be danceable?? that's NEVER been a requirement) when it was, in reality, pure octane is laughable. Drake makes fun of Kendrick for caring about black issues because he's distant from blackness even though he steeps himself in it (he even brags about using his whiteness for advantages). Drake makes fun of Kendrick for assuming he was s_xually abused because he has no empathy for victims, as predators do not. I will never support him. He already lost in my mind on the power of being Drake. There are already receipts about Drake. The video with the 17-year-old is damnable enough.

Thank you for this video. And particularly for mentioning the first half of 6:16 in LA because it really isn't getting the flowers it deserves right now. That music absolutely solidifies, like you said, Kendrick's perspective and it's not just about trying to kill Drake, to mudsling, to dominate (as much of the discourse on Kendrick's blowout victory has understandably orbited around, because he was done pure traditional offense phenomenally well) but to rebirth Aubrey with an incredibly harsh love. It's beautiful, it's art, it's where we need to be gravitating towards as an audience or as commentators instead of either trying to wrap everything up into a neat little bow (which many journalists/KZreadrs have been making content about -"Who Won?", "Recapping The Beef", etc.-) or immediately criticizing either participant or either fanbase for going "over the line" without word from investigative or persecution oriented organizations yet or literally anybody else who's actually qualified to "bring receipts" or bring justice. Let's be honest: we don't want Drake posting Ring footage implicating Kendrick for abusive behavior, ala Steven Crowder, on his Instagram story. We don't want Kendrick posting a video of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on the phone saying that they're gonna raid The Embassy or him revealing what Drake's supposed daughter's Instagram account is in a Not Like Us music video. That goes beyond poetry over bars (which YES is still where we are); that would be interfering with justice. So, what can we actually do? What SHOULD we do as an audience? We can't wrap things up and we can't get justice. And making posts like Questlove's isn't going to make us better people; it's just going to make us depressed people who feel like we wasted a week of our lives. We can find positive meaning (LIKE YOU HAVE), we can find morals, confessions, advice, and maturity here even if this got "really personal" or "really serious". We should. Now, to still be competitive, I think that Kendrick has made art with greater potential for that kind of positive therapeutic impact for listeners or Aubrey than Aubrey has for his listeners or for Kendrick. That's just my vibe and that is how I've determined MY winner. At the very least, let's use the metric of who's made the better POSITIVE story with this beef instead of just immediately going to how Kendrick has buried him or going full K-Anon with an inevitably flawed paper trail on Drake or just throwing everybody into the garbage by stating or implying that Kendrick or Drake or rap beef in general or Hip-Hop in general or "straight cis black men" in general are troglodytes or misogynists. TLDR: we get to manifest what this cultural event means to us. And the most important and useful and unproblematic way that we can add meaning to this is by interpreting the beef as ways to make better people or a better world. TLDR 2: Meet The Grahams is a masterwork and HP6 is mid.
Won’t lie this video was an educational breakdown as if from my literature teacher I love it
I think to some degree Kendrick needed to get this off his chest, like the story of Mr. Morale wouldn't be complete if he didn't go after Drake, this has been bubbling for 10 years now, it wouldn't surprise me if Kendrick felt like he couldn't really mature or move forward without finally burying this resentment he's carried for Drake for 10+ years
Dont ever forget kendrick made not like us after a few hours family matters dropped….
Kenny done put me into a full-out Manic state for this whole week. As a long time KDot stan, i knew the breadcrumbs and jewels he left on the tracks would end in his coronation as the one and only #1 in HipHop.
This was the most sane and coherent analysis I have ever seen. Looking forward to more as this progresses.

You knocked this out of the park, totally deserved to be your most popular video 👍🏽👍🏽
HOT TAKE: this biggest beef EVER its not just nyc or east and west, its about the culture aka LYRICS vs POP RAP - every rap fan has a stake in this even if they dont like the artists but they and rap are WAY more popular/mainstream than they were for biggie v pac or nas v jay etc Kendrick was always gonna win, he's literally a PULITZER Prize winning writer (only like 3 musicians have won this award and no other rappers) then dropped 20plus mins of layered well executed diss tracks, he couldnt lose...his fanbase are fans of bars and older heads who like lyrics over 'melodic rap' - drake has no identity, he changes up every album but its all POP rap and represents a younger gen of fans despite them being the same age etc...
Dots winning because he’s weirdly funny and he’s more creative, also even tho the daughter shit was a L, the wild accusations have “semi proof” so it covers dots L, also clubs booing drake and playing Kendrick prolly hurts drake since he tried to make the club song.

Drake did a shit-job at the 'daughter accusation' refutation... If the "daughter rumors" truly were a plant, then Drake should've never gone on social media to deny them whilst ignoring the damn pedo allegations first and foremost. He should've bided his time and leaned way more into that in his actual response diss cause THAT's A HUGE vulnerability that could've been exploited more. Not to mention his contradictory bar; calling everyone who fed Kendrick information a 'clown'(when that would without a doubt include Drake himself, assuming he was telling the truth). Kendrick is simply somehow able to produce far more heat with 'incomplete' information whilst Drake can't seem to even match him(in terms of heat) with 'complete' information.

Thank you so much for this! I have felt there's so much nuance to those tracks that's right now still overshadowed by the utter theatricality of the situation. I love how you zero in on those lines where, if you strip the overt bravado, Kendrick does bare himself. I really loved euphoria and 6:16 in LA. Even with the heavy context, there was a sort of mystique to them that went beyond the beef. And while the two new ones are more exciting and fun to everyone in context to the beef, at least as of now, I feel a certain flattening of meaning and intent going on at the stage. I've been subscribed since your video on Nope! Big fave. Look forward to more!

Definitely agree with what you said, the conceptual angle is getting a bit watered down for bit reveals and drama but even then, “meet the grahams” is such a great embodiment of the ideas on Mr. Morale and “Don’t Like Us”, for as commercial as it is, kind of embodies Kendrick at his most angry and spiteful, similar to a “HUMBLE” or “DNA”. Definitely will be interesting to see how these tracks all fit together once the dust has settled and Kendrick (maybe?) drops an album showing where he’s going next.

Kendrick has never hidden his imperfections he’s very open and honest
I think that one thing that fueled Kendrick's hate even more, is that Mr morale could clearly help drake too, and Kendrick knows that. Instead of going for the cultural vulture angle and referencing tpab, Kendrick keeps referencing mr morale, almost begging drake to hear it, but drake decided to ignore it and it was one of the reasons not like us, the victory lap, exists now. Kendrick clearly offer his hand, but when drake denied and tried to bring him down, kdot didn't pull any punches
this is an insane analysis. thank you for putting the time and effort into analyzing “euphoria”, bringing really fresh perspectives i cant help but feel a deeper connection to the work after seeing kendricks dual nature (righteousness vs vindictiveness) reflected throughout the song. it’s awesome to read the lyrics as a continuation of mr morale - kendrick truly pouring out his soul into his craft, even for a “diss track”😂.
Excellent video
Post-beef, I find myself now going back to Euphoria over and over again. It's just a damn good song, well structured, catchy and hard AF, and now that I've gathered a much better understanding about the substance of the diss, my appreciation for it has grown tenfold. Kendrick really did say A LOT about Drake, and even if a lot of the information about him was "old news", he delivered it with such lyrical precision that he really sets himself apart from the rest
Loved the way you broke down Kendrick's career leading up to euphoria. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep going up sis! 🚀

Definitely worth considering the fact that while these points are points other rappers have made and kendrick is using those points with incredible efficiency pointing them directly at Drakes soul, he does say it's "what the culture is feeling". He knows he's not talking for just himself.

Drake is always afraid to just rap against rappers that could beat him and tries to win by mud slinging. Kendrick has only ever dissed Drake before now by flexing his status as a better, more respected rapper. Drake mentioned Whitney on Push Ups and Kendrick dropped two diss tracks telling Drake to just keep it Hip Hop and there wouldn't be any problems. Drake didn't listen and here we are.

'you lied about the only rapper who could offer you some help/ fk a rap battle, this a lifelong battle with yourself'. It shows your point, that he is drawing a connection between the two of them, but it also shows the real difference between them (according to Kendrick); Kendrick is always in a process of confronting who he really is, and Drake has never done it, and has instead chosen the facade.
Great job. I’m very impressed
