Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef is now looking like a full-out war. The problem is this: they have been dropping diss records at scary hours lately. Just yesterday, Kendrick dropped his diss, “6:16 In LA,” at 6:16 AM, good guys time. Now, on a Friday night, when folks are getting lit and receiving parking tickets, Drake decided to release a response called “Family Matters.”
While most rappers stick to two beat switches, Drake takes it up a notch in “FAMILY MATTERS” with three! He kicks things off over the beat from the end of “Push-Ups,” then transitions to a dark drill beat followed by a slightly soulful one. Throughout, Drake maintains a crisp delivery, experimenting with playful flows and highlighting his singing prowess. But let’s be real, what really grabs your attention isn’t how Drake raps on the track; it’s the juicy gossip he dishes out, and I’ve got you covered on that front. In the song, Drake directs 75% of his disses at Kendrick, 3.50% at The Weeknd, another 3.50% at Future, 2.50% at Metro Boomin, and the remaining shots at Rick Ross and A$AP Rocky. Kendrick bears the brunt of Drake’s scathing bars, with accusations ranging from likening Kendrick Lamar to a wife-beater who raps as if he’s trying to liberate slaves to questioning the paternity of his child and hinting at marital issues, even suggesting he’s currently in New York due to relationship troubles. Right now, we’re at the stage where personal shots are raining in like cats and dogs.
This is one of Drake’s best songs ever.
