Love them all for different reasons. Fun fact: the lesser known “6:16 in LA” diss sampled Al Green. Drake’s uncle Teenie Hodges wrote and recorded guitar for all of Al green’s music. That’s a subliminal diss right there.

2024-07-09 23:09:35 +0000 UTCI really dislike Kendrick's "Humble" voice (flow) on Not Like Us. I get that Kendrick is known for doing characters but to me it has to be clear why he's using a voice and I don't think a diss track is any reason to use that voice. I think there are some biting lines in the song but I just can't get over the goofy voice.

2024-07-09 21:47:57 +0000 UTCFor sure. They both serve in different ways. I know I'm in the minority. And it's just a preference. I like the way Euphoria slowly builds to the end and gets better and better. And I love the flow, I love everything about it. It's my perfect running track to start out the workout

2024-07-09 21:42:38 +0000 UTCWriting and storytelling is probably better in Euphoria. I also love his vocal performance on the track. Classic Kendrick. But Not Like Us is closer to my heart as a west coast native. I really appreciate that the song is a very calculated diss AND an homage to CA hip hop culture, which Drake insulted by appropriating Tupac’s voice with AI. So it’s satisfying to feel like the WC is united in dancing on Drake’s grave lol. And it’s way more fun to dance to.

2024-07-09 21:39:59 +0000 UTCI enjoy the trilogy of diss tracks as a package not particularly preferring one i’ve the other. I honestly think the rap beef was the best thing for the corrupt music industry. other than the beef by law we’re just stuck to hearing about taylor swift and her fake romance or garbage we call music . not to sure why it hard for the industry to find and help talent like the days of old.

2024-07-09 21:06:48 +0000 UTCFor sure. Not Like US is impirtant because he beats Drake at his own game making a club bop. But Euphoria is exactly how I wanted him to diss Drake. It’s just surgical
