I’m also from the Bay Area. East Bay to be specific born and raised . One thing I’ve found interesting in this beef is the Cali solidarity . From people in the music industry to everyday fans. Kendrick is treated like the golden child out here and a lot of us want to seen him win. Atlanta is kinda the same where they’re very supportive of their artists. They have Future, Young Thug, Lil Baby, etc but out in California Kendrick alone is by far our biggest artist. There isn’t this kind of solidarity on the East Coast it’s very fragmented when it comes to support I’ve noticed.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who is being awesome and respectful on here. You don't have to agree with me or each other, but please let's give each other grace.

Kendrick is playing chess, checkers, dominoes and Spades😂😂😂.

Sister is listening...say no more sis! 😂😂😂🎉🎉 No further explanation is needed.

Its the facial expressions 😂🤣

I'm 54, grew up in this, I'm with you sis, have seen hip hop grow and morph

Hip Hopis a sub genre of Black culture.

This was a really good breakdown. I would really like you to break down Meet the Grahams. Meet the Grahams, was so disrespectful. Kendrick literally evicted Drake from his house and put of his sh*t on the curb for trash pick up.

Drake is a good performer and actor. He has been acting like a Hip-Hop star. An actor studies people, their behaviors and their culture so they can play a role. They have writers (ghostwriters) and Directors(Producers) who shape the look and sound of a project. When he started playing the Street Guy role he messed up. Along with a few other missteps. This was going to eventually happen. Kendrick has been calling him out on every album since To Pimp A Butterfly. One thing Hip-Hop has always despised is someone trying to be something they're not. He needs to stick to Pop. He raps but he isn't an MC.

Also from the bay There is a hint of a shoutout to E40, one of Kendrick’s mentors with the line “Go..the audience not dumb” like tell me when to Go and we the audience are not hyphy with you I really like how you played the whole song through the first time, absorbed it in full, and then broke down bars - great analysis and insight, thanks!

her head drop at 4:43 cracked me up 😂🤣😂

"I see dead people" - he sees Drake as a dead man walking and his Ghostwriters 👻 When Kendrick said in 'Euphoria' "Yeah, my first one like my last one, it's a classic, you don't have one" - I believe he meant, Drakes "classics" were written by ghostwriters, so his "classics" really belongs to his ghostwriters not him. So many gems to catch whenever you re-listen to the disses.

The owl/fowl reference is directed towards OVO. The logo is an owl. The cole line im pretty sure is referencing Family Matters, where drake said something about Cole dropping out of the beef.

I loved everything about this reaction and the intelligence behind your thoughts. Such a different dive into the song and the vibe about the battle.

A minor has no black keys.

Yo! Her face when the beat dropped😂. She a real one

You knew that the Minor cord line was coming!!! Like for me!

The John Stockton reference was also pointing at Drakes inappropriate behavior with minors as Stocktons teammate was Karl Malone ( who got a 13yo girl pregnant when he was in college).

The OutKast shirt alone said everything I needed to see here… SUBSCRIBED

For some reason I love this woman's commentary.

I believe his Oakland show was cancelled 😂 the smartest thing he did

Dang, I'm so glad to see someone in my age category (I'm 45) doing a reaction and breakdown, because I haven't really seen many, and even fewer women. I was hoping you would catch the "extort shit, Willie Defoe on 'em" reference, because nobody else has caught it yet. It's a reference to Willem Defoe's character in the movie "To Live and Die in L.A." Also, God's Plan wasn't the only Drake song Kendrick referenced in that bar the line is: The *Family Matter* and the truth of the matter it was *God's Plan* to show y'all the liar

16:19 A 3rd entendre for 'a minor', on a piano at least, is only done with 'white' keys. Drake is often called a 'white boy' by his haters.

Yay Area!!!! Yee!!!

I see comments that people want me to do more lyrical breakdowns and more music reactions. If ya'll could let me know if you want to see them together or in seperate videos that would be helpful! Thanks in advance.

React to meet the grahams. Not like us was a banger but meet the grahams was truly master craft in terms of English

I am new to your channel. I loved, loved, loved your review of this track and your take on the culture in general. It was so intelligent, informed and entertaining. I can definitely relate to you and will continue watching your content. Blessings to you...

Him straight up calling Drake a pedophile was so wild to me. Stuff like that is always said 'sneakily', like the cell block line. But he just fucking went there, no ambiguity. Meet the grahams and not like us have been SO much more serious than i expected going into this beef. (loved the analysis btw, you seem really knowledgeable about hip-hop

The "hide the bible" thing might be a regional saying, comedian Kyrah Gray has a whole bit about her Jamaican grandmother using it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLGPebKcvMnbd2g.htmlsi=qnPOhm2NViPrVL3M&t=298 (As you probably guessed, this was mostly an excuse to share her work.)

Keep up the honest work. It’s beautiful to watch you.

Classic... Belly! Rip DMX and Louie Rankin. Fun fact Tyrin Turner said he was smacking on the banana purposely trying to eff up the scene because he was mad at not getting the lead role 😂

This is what we get for allowing any and every one in our “family business “ they don’t know what they’re talking about…

Drake has not wrote 1 hit... FYI.... That's the difference between drake an Kendrick. Aubrey is an actor and his best role ever played was Drake the rapper

Kendrick playing y'all snickers can't get like me hahahahaha Psi-chopathicpeppamintpimpin 🤣 🤪 😂 😆

Nas and Jada kiss should have gotten the Pulitzer if they hadn't already

You can play the A minor chord without the Black keys

Good review keep up the good work💪 Hope you get bigger.

Appreciate the breakdown.

Movie is Belly, and dude eating banana is same actor that played Kane from Menace II Society, this was a fun reaction for me cuz you in my peer group..so ill give you one for such a gr8 reaction....Cole in his apology said i got my chin out, take your best shot, ill stand like a man and take whatever it is, so Dot flipped this by saying Sweet Chin Music and I wont pass the Ops/Ox, Ox is a NYC slang for a box cutter or razor blade, so he saying he wont pass the ops, if they a op he wont pass to send shots, or ops as in option, but the homophone of ops/ox meaning he will give the chin the buck 50....slick subtle quadruple, and i agree with the reference to pac, tho i see them differently...IMHO Pac was a Street Poet, like Ive Cube, Scarface, Dot is a Poet From The Streets, like the Hood Edgar Allen Poe, he is very deep and an incredible writer, bless for this reaction Miss, Thank You🙏🔥💨💐👸

Kdot 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hi! Love your breakdown. I wanted to chime in on the Chord/A-minor line. I am not well versed on reading music, the furthest I got was E(very) G(ood) B(oy) D(eserves) F(un). 😁 What I have heard from those in the know, the A-minor on the piano is a white key. So, one could take that to mean he is driving home that Drake is not part of the "culture."

KZfaq banned me for saying “Freaky ass ****!” in the comments, when I first heard this…. I was cracking up! Even DJ Akedemics was like this is a pedifile map, with Drakes Address. Remember, when he said you think I won’t drop the location!?

The first rap beef I remember is LL Cool J vs Kool Moe Dee. Might b why LL my GOAT ❤

Definitely need you to break down more music. 😅 This is 🥇

Stockton- nba all time leader in assists

Angel.... 😂😂😂😂 Your reactions are on point. Lmao

A minor, and in music 🎶 it's represented by all white Keys , BECAUSE Kendrick calls him a white Boy ....

Belly reference was spot on lol

You have to do Euphoria 🙏🏽

Thank you for the breakdown.

A minor also is all ivory no black keys hahahahaha Psi-chopathicpeppamintpimpin 😆 😂

Yeeees BGIRL. Love this reaction and your understanding and appreciation for this thing of ours

❤When the sapling thinks it’s a 500 year old oak🙈

Well done breaking this down

I really enjoyed your analysis and lyrical breakdowns. Greetings all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

Off topic but I love your hair color. I wish more people would just embrace their grey hairs. So many young girls bleach their hair almost white these days anyway 😂❤

React more music

I have watched 100s of video reactions on this subject matter, I have to say Yours was quite a little different in understanding, I think you should do Euphoria, cause that was the bait from KDOT and BBL DRIZZY baited really hard on that one Lol 🤣, great video BTW

Gets a big fat like from me loved the video

Wonderful❤❤❤ I loved the reaction. And shake them haters off😊😊 i just subbed

Culture black folks culture we tired

👍🏽💯

Live your quiet reaction ❤

Appreciate your reaction and commentary, but I have to disagree on "Up to not like us they have been on an even playing field." 'You hit your wife once' and 'you're actively engaging in pedophilia' are not remotely the same. Even with Drake's ghost writers there was no competition, Drake was too busy calling everyone out to even focus on Ken. John Stockton passed to Karl Malone who was a known pdf

Your facial expressions are everything 🔥

When Kendrick speaks u csn tell he's a very i intelligent man i luv to hear his convetsations i also like ur video breaking down his words luv it keep up the good knowledge ❤❤❤❤❤❤

John Stockton use to pass to Karl Malone on Utah Jazz. Karl Malone impregnated a 13 year old. Maybe comparing Drake/Karl issues with young girls.

The industry put Drake on .

Dont tell no lies about me and I wont tell truths about you

Your great

Enjoyed hearing a perspective from someone I wouldn’t typically imagine to comment on this. Checked me lol

We couldn’t even have rap concerts after that Cash Money debacle. Took nearly a decade before they green-lit a rap concert. Drake might not know that history. And I’m sure he doesn’t know our tie to Pac bc he doesn’t study the culture like that. We still on him about using Dre and the Bay to try and get in on “Started From The Bottom” then shooting that one weak scene in Emeryville like that was really putting on. He’s culturally numb. That’s why he never grasped Kendrick’s angle the entire beef. He’s not one of us.

Graham Family Matters and Euphoria hahahahaha Psi-chopathicpeppamintpimpin 💜 😆 💕 💖

Belly

He is saying his care is fowl/foul Thus the the bird 🥷🏽s and bird 🤬Bs

Do more reactions

Do another breakdown

She had to get antioxidants after this fire song lol

Rap was a way of expression. Poerty from poverty. Drake has no clue how to play the game especially when faced with a generational rapper that can be compared to Tupac in aggression and overall talent in conceptualizing songs.

Are you native American? Sorry for my goofy question lol..Kendrick won for the culture for sure!

If you blow someones back out, you struck a chord(spinal)

Aye… you can’t just dye yo hair and claim old head😂😂😂.. you are clearly still young spirited

Who's that keeps crawling behind the couch?

Excuse me Ms no disrespect meant Hip Hop is strictly a Black American invention all of it. I was there at the beginning we were the ones at those parties putting our lives on the line. So that comment your talking hip hop not black culture makes no sense because they are one in the same.

Break all of the song down

I see the bible reference as he’s like a “bible basher,” beating morals into Drake but at the same time… literally beating someone with a bible would be wrong so he’d hide it from God😂

Liar=lyre

You don't really rap is black culture and if you really were a hip hop head you would know about Kool mo dee and LL cool J so don't speak on black culture stick what you know you heard a few rap songs lol

Hola,i love your review and your on point and i love your love of the culture of hiphop,peace pricessa

Drake should've just kept it Canadian, like Wayne said he told him all those years ago.
