The group then dove into Kendrick Lamar's recent concert, "The Pop Out: Ken & Friends" on Juneteenth in Los Angeles at the Forum. The concert included performances from LA natives like YG, Tyler The Creator, and, of course, Kendrick Lamar. Eddie describes the concert as a huge uplifting moment for the whole city of Los Angeles, after the hardships of losing legends Nipsey Hussle and Kobe Bryant. The group also touches on Kendrick's new music for "Not Like Us" and where Drake stands in this situation.

#KendrickLamar #Drake #AppleMusic - Hudba
It feel good to be a Kendrick fan rn
yeah 🙂
I'm proud of Dot like I know him personally😂
Facts he bodied dat boi!!!
I'm a fan I'm a fan I'm a fan
And been ❤
Yeah, let’s not thank Drake for this, let’s thank KENDRICK. Smh
Right. It's Kendrick and the creative minds that he works with who are responsible for The Pop Out.
Other rappers would have taken their W in the beef and used it to promote themselves. Kendrick used this win to share/shine the spotlight on West Coast artists.
@@_NoHandle_ they tryna find anything to discredit kendrick they won't say if it wasn't for the ghost writers and stolen lyrics drake use he wouldn't be at the top
Drake embarrassed and bodied himself
Thank Drake for begging Kendrick to drop..Drake didn't write the lyrics to "Not Like Us". Kendrick did that.
Thank Drake for what?! Allowing his own ass to get kicked? You sound silly. Do you thank Meek Mill? Kendrick didn't win because Drake allowed him to. You glazers are incapable of objective thought.
Kendrick won without trolling online or having hip hop media in his back pocket. The industry tried to destroy kdot but the culture won🔥💪. Also U my everything single flopped.
Huh
Agreed
who tf tried to destroy kendrick?? yall love making him the underdog 😂
Wow, the industry tried to destroy KDot but the culture WON. Powerful….make some money….put that on tee shirts. Love that statement.😊
@elchapo3063 have you been living under a rock or what?
" I'm what the culture feeling " - Kendrick Lamar
beating women ?
I think I speak for most of the culture when I say we don’t like Kenny
@@OVOGerald Lil fella...Why are you so emotional ?...Just take the L... " Everything is gonna be alright " - Kendrick Lamar
And proved it!! 😂😂😂 K Dot the great!
@@OVOGeraldspeak for yourself!
Kendrick is responsible for this alone
it's just big me
Yeah right😂😂😂 Kendrick was battling himself. The delusional Kendrick fans strike again😂😂😂
@ManiaBeats drake fan are still far worse than this
@@ManiaBeatsKendrick was already making headlines from Like that. It’s Drake in fact that benefited from the competition despite losing miserably to a true artist 😂
@@imperialstatsPeriodttt 🎯💯‼️
Drake fans before the battle: “Square up”
Drake fans after the battle: “You hit too hard”
😂😂😂
💯💯💯💯💯😂😂😂😂😂😂
ROFL! Awesome comment man! comedy gold😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Na the boy hit hard and destroyed him🔥🔥
@@OVOGeraldwith that name your obviously bias?
Ebro hit the nail on the head. Dot hated what Drake represents. Drake made it personal
🎯🎯🎯
Drake destroyed Kenny with family matters
@@OVOGeraldNah 😂
Facts
@@OVOGeraldstop being delusional
"I never measured my love for an artist by how often they put out music" truest statement Ebro made in this video
FACTS!
"I'm sorry that i live a boring life I love peace,
But war-ready if the world is ready to see you bleed"
🥶🥶🥶
Song is so underrated.
@@chhart79 I genuinely play it all the time. I wish Kendrick would officially release it.
@@Empiandar me too. I want it on my Apple Music playlist
Which unreleased track is that
@@Venom420ful6:16 in LA🔥
Never felt so much joy just by being a Kendrick fan before.. This is sweet❤️
Righttt
Me too! Go Kendrick ❤❤❤❤
You didn’t enjoy being his fan before this battle 🤔
@@pbewared9540 Always been KDot fan before and after
@@pbewared9540 never been this excited.. He's outside outside..
Kendrick won Kendrick is the goat
Agree
kendrick beats women and is not close to the goat
I think I speak for everyone when I say drake the boy actually won
Being Kendrick's fan so enjoyable..
Make a coffe and drink before go to work
Read Drake's fan crying comments whenever i have time..😂
Drake fans be spiraling…. That shii is hilarious to watch
😂😂
It's been the best two months this year so far lol
You forgot to add in the meat riding part. Kenny fans are shameless 😭😭
@@OVOGerald only u and the rest of Drake's had done it and thoguht some1 gonna do a samething 😂
Gonna be a whole lotta crying in these comments. Let Dot and company enjoy this W in peace.
Not Like Us will win a Grammy. Hopefully he performs it at the Grammys.
drake fans moving like trump heads after the 2020 election
Uhhhhh no lol
@@cookieslyingperforming it at the BET awards would be perfect
Rt
He said it perfectly here 28:13 For Kendrick it wasn't just about winning the rap beef but he thought of it as his moral duty to win this war
it should be his moral duty to not beat women
I’m a Kenny fan but The meat riding is insane😭😭
@@htdubski23 that's why he doesn't
UMG 400 million investment. He's not going to be allowed to step back.
Underrated comment right here.
Finally, someone says it. Drake is an employee, lol. Drake is not a boss. He can't step back even if he wanted to. Honestly, if Drake took 2 years off, I believe he could come back with a classic. I think Drake is afraid of being alone for that amount of time with his family and himself. Fame is a great distraction for him.
That is exactly what I thought when they mentioned that. They have an investment and no matter Drake’s stardom, he is still just dollar signs to him.
@@stevieg5907🎯🎯🎯
Drizzy won
We don't give credit to the bully/loser. Kdot finally got tired of his ish since no one else would put him out of his misery he did.
Facts
Facts, Aubrey been asking for some humbling experience and he got it. What a goofball
I doubt Drake learns from this. I saw his fans on reddit celebrating because Drake started following DJ Mustard's ex-wife on social media. Talking about how great it was that Drake was starting his plan for revenge. Drake's fans seem to _like_ the type of person he is, it's weird.
He still did not learn a thing smdh
Once a lame, always a lame.
His fans seems similar to Andrew Tate and the likes fans. The Venn diagram is a circle
Lmaooo they grasping for anything
his fans are incels
That's like thanking an absent father for making you a better man... nah buddy YOU DID THAT BY YOURSELF
On mammas bruh.
THANK YOU!!!
Na bro, WITH GOD❤
Ebro n E hit it right on the head. From the moment Drake got on it was the shift of being buddy buddy w execs n corporations when hip hop represented the opposite.
Born n raised in atl drakes effect was felt n it turned the city built on culture into a popularity contest w no morals or culture
"He woke up the right person" 😂. Truer words have not be spoken 😂💔
I hate how they just ignore the fact that Drake has multiple reference tracks. He cannot be considered a goat in rap
Many respected rappers have reference tracks. Drake has written for some.
@@jsanders1906 A little different when it's more than half your catalog.
@@mikeyseifert80 You literally just made that up. It's fine to just say you hate the guy. The lies are od.
I’m sorry my friend someone winning artist of the decade is kind of goated to me 🤷🏾♂️
@@pbewared9540 you’re a consumer vs someone who understands art and culture… pacification, enjoy your fast food music.
What I got from Kendrick was... be authentic, appreciate, and do not appropriate!
Just feels good to have never doubted Kendrick. I love this for him. I Will never forget the media playing in his face tho
Ken and friends had nothing to do with drake and had everything to do with uniting the city of L.A and he did just that never seen rival gangs vibing out peacefully this was history ! Oh god y’all drake fans are mad huh ??? My condolences to y’all 😭
HE performed MULTIPLE songs about Drake while onstage, one of which he called him out by name. Q-tips are fairly inexpensive. No other way to excuse this comment.
Oh please!!! If it had nothing to do with Drake why did it take for this battle to bring them gangs together?? Why did Kendrick perform Not like Us 6 times??? Why was Kendrick still taking shots at Drake on stage??? Ya’ll are absolutely ridiculous on this app!!
@@BlackGirlInADoggoneWorld Womp Womp
@@BlackGirlInADoggoneWorldglazer
We gotta stop with this narrative. It eas equally about both. Without the Drake disses it wouldn't have been as big of an event.
Reporting live from (the burbs) in the UK and I can confirm that this phenomenon is absolutely WORLDWIDE 🌍
Glad to know!
The villain of the story gets to claim the good that comes from his extermination?? Foolery
why is drake the villain? (genuine Q)
@@n0273Everything that he's said in his disses have been exposed as false. He's also the reason it even got deep
@@n0273 in a fight, there are two sides. The winner becomes the hero and the loser becomes the villain.
These are rappers just trying to win a rap beef. Unironically trying to make this a “heroes vs Villains” story ain’t the wave lmao
This isn't true @@AllBetzOff
Kendrick all day everyday 🔥🔥🔥 They not like us 💪🏾
Ebro nailed it about the beef. Kendrick’s hatred toward Drake is what he represents. KDot even said he likes Drake with the Melodies and when he sees success. But when Drake made it personal is when the beef turned personal.
Ebro's comments on Hip Hop Culture vs Commerce is spot on.
KDOT fans are on a victory tour! 🎉🎉
People not talking about Tyler coming out. Man had no reason and caused a tsunami of cheers, insane
The energy shifted when Tyler came out 💯
That was so beautiful. He seemed to be surprised at how much love he got at that show.
@@ethanhuntemcee1663it was turned up
What happened to him? I keep seeing people saying that. Is he retired?
@@A.R-ol5vmwell nothing happened to him. Him and drake were considered friends however. Few years Tyler, he brought Drake out as a surprise guest at his festival. Drake was booed and Tyler publicly expressed his embarrassment and praised drake…
But Tyler showing up at the show (despite him being cool with dot also, and an LA artist) causes questions for Drake and Tyler’s relation/friendship.
Drake called us SLAVES. What's wrong with y'all. He went to go ride horses on Juneteenth. Why didn't he do anything for the millions of black women who made him famous?
Drake donated $100K to the National Bailout Collective to support Black mothers and caregivers. NOw tell me what YOU PERSONALLY did that was anywhere close to this for black women. (And he never called us slaves.)
Lmaooo!! Drake did not call us slaves! Do you boys even listen to the song? The man is insinuating that Dot uses black struggle when it comes time to make music. The man said he acts like an activist the next line. And clearly Dot has ya’ll brainwashed with the fake activist gimmick.
He did NOT call us slaves lmaooo. Kendrick won but we don’t need to misunderstand Drake’s lyrics in an attempt to run the score up. Especially considering they’re not complex lyrics
@king039 he did he said ...kendrick acting like he gonna free the slaves ...in that context he is referring to black people and not himself ...everything he does is white like calling himself a boy...no black man would call themselves a boy...since he grew up in a rich neighborhood he wouldn't know being called boy is a racist trope and we call the police the boys because they ain't men...drake is definitely out of touch with black culture
Wats crazy Jcole literally had the same kinda bar on “Evil Ways” track 😂😂😂 but yall keep reaching
Why are y’all giving the colonizer props for bringing people together? That was Kendrick and his team’s idea. Don’t thank Drake for crossing boundaries that should’ve never been crossed.
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers slander will never be tolerated. Thank you.
Drake lost just accept!
fr every single vid i see they try to give props/credit to Drake in some way when all he did was get publicly eviscerated & used as fodder to elevate a higher message😂
Drake fans are not hip hop fans, that's why some don't get it
Im a professional Drake hater. His time is up
Right! I'm a 15 year veteran I been WAITING
I feel this in my soul
😂😂😂
I understand. I feel like is the second coming of Diddy.
Yessir
He says it 6:16 he says "i hear you are a terrible person , even your ppl think you dersve it" sheesh
That's a misquote but you got the gist of it.
@@supascrape2916lol butchered tf out of it
@@FlowboyVegas1 hey this ain't rap genius......I leave that to yall lol
6:16 is as real as Bluey
"Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person, everyone inside your team whispering that you deserve it, can't tootsie slide up out of this one it's just gone resurface, every dog gotta have its day now live in your purpose."
Hey ebro you nailed what this beef was really about and the response you got "that the majority of people tuning in don't care" is also right. But that does not take away anything from the real life consequences of the black culture aspect of hip hop that kendrick was actually talking about and that it won't be so easy for the white corporate music america to manufacture and make way for a new culture vulture like drake in the future. That was what Kendrick really is trying to stop.
Such a GREAT comment!!!
Somebody said: Kendrick is going to release the video for "They Not Like Us" on the 4th of July.🎇🧨🎆 solidifying it as the song of the summer☀️🏖 Then when football season starts the NFL & College football will play it carring it thro>ugh the spring & winter months. The HBCU
🎺bands🥁 will be stepping 🤸🏾♂️ &
marching🕺🏾 to it as well...
Kendrick Lamar is going to disappear and give us another masterpiece. I hope he puts out the album next year to prove Drake and his fans wrong. This isn't a rollout. Even if it was, Drake asked for it 😅
Never seen drake do anything for the community
What did Kendrick do? For real let me know. His career has been 70-80% talking about social injustices of African American people. That’s what got him rich. He should be doing 30 to 40 times more than what he has done!! Unless he does things for his community or the black community anonymously there are only 2 or 3 instances of this. Drake raps about women, parties, and money why would you expect him to do stuff for his community or African American problems (even though he has).
@@uptonfilms95 what's has drake did? You sound like a trumper instead of bringing Kendrick up on a comment talking about drake why don't you talk about what drake does
@@uptonfilms95 you can google all he has done for his community you can ask everyone out there they have a lot of respect for him because he never forgot where he came from he just surprised the students at Compton college this month this guy had rival gang members on one stage vibing peacefully drake knows NOTHING about that
@@uptonfilms95Kendrick didn’t sexualize women, he didn’t promote drugs, he didn’t promote bragging and didn’t promote toxic masculinity. He doesn’t promote social media. He was true to his beliefs and he actually means what he says. Behind the scenes his people love him. He lives a modest and boring life for his standards and values it. He doesn’t need to show off on the internet, action speak louder than digital hugs.
@@uptonfilms95 You can google all he’s done for his community, he’s never forgotten where he came from and that’s why people respect him he’s for the people and he speaks on issues that actually matter he just did a surprise pop up at Compton college and had two rival gangs peacefully vibing on one stage honestly drake could never
Also, drake ain’t dropping no best album no time soon. Yall forgot that drake’s original “sound” is actually singing/rap. “Best I ever had” and “find your loving” was drakes sound. He ain’t going back to that. He’s going to try to jump on someone else sound AGAIN.
Even that sound he stole from Phonte. Best I ever had wasn’t even his original flow. He’s been using ghost writers for a long time.
Regional hip hop is back!
I'm 43 years old and have always wondered how adults started liking dude. I understand kids because they don't any better but as a grown Man. I've never liked dude at all. Not even a little
🎯
Drake fans are some of the scariest folks on earth.
They just want to stay dumb & dancing…
A-anon levels of cope. “Just wait guys this is all part of Drakes master plan!!!” Like be fr 😂
They see themselves on drake or wanna be like him and it's pathetic 😒 yal grew up idolizing a fake wannabe lame
Yes cuz they are insane still sayin drake won or still hating on Dot
Thanks to drake for introducing Kendrick Lamar to us in Middle East I heard control verse for first time last week I got chills how and why we don’t know about this man before
Welcome to the team!!🎉🎉
Glad someone is elevating the critique to ideology. Agree with Ebro. Kendrick definitely had disdain for what Drake represents, until Drake himself made it personal. Great show
I went to my 9 year old's end of year assembly in the GTA earlier today. At the end of the bangra dance number, they played the instrumental for Not Like Us. My son is 1 of 6 black people in that school, including teachers. That just shows you the legs on that song.
Kendrick is getting more listens in drakes territory right now but somehow dot lost the battle?? 😂
Shout out Tayler, the creator. One of the biggest pops that night had people singing the words. the whole thing was nice, and every show, positive energy
Ebro did a really good job of dissecting the essence of this beef🙏🏾
Why do they tip toe around Drake and his fan’s feelings all the time?
Something To Think About
Kendrick is the king of th hip hop of this gen
Rap Life: People gonna think we dragging this out.
Me: MORE MORE MORE😂
It wont be the same. Juneteenth will be now remember from now on as Kdot’s day! As Hip Hop history day and Drake’s lost battle.
Yep...FB memories /Social Media will consistently remind everyone what happened on Juneteenth 2024
I hope it's known for more than that!
Thanks to Aubrey for keeping up that sus energy 😂for Kdot to expose to the universe…think it made it to the space station 🤔😏
justice for mr morale
I've heard Not Like Us and Euphoria played driving through LA. It's dope
No let's thank Kendrick for being Kendrick and not letting his ego get in the way.
What's crazy is how your hometown never embraces you no other place besides California has really done that . Kendrick has my respect even more 🙌 salutes 🫡
Would the narrative be Thanks Kendrick for motivating Drake to drop his next great album?
It already is a narrative. Just like thanks Pusha T for making Drake a better father. Did y'all forget that already
@@dariusdillard6157Thanks for making Drake Canadian again
Anyone who says Kendricks recent success is because of drake is a clown
The last was not his worse album! It was the most vulnerable and most honest and people have a hard time with both. They aren’t giving it up so they have a hard time listening or actually sitting with themselves. I think that was his best album
The ghost writers?
That is my favorite albums this far!
R.I.P Aubrey.... That wake was crazy though
I like how they can't say AMAZON PRIME VIDEO. How Apple Music fumble the bag?
Here in Australia, it’s crazy how much it’s been played. The pop out was something else.
Ik Ebro was gon come back and get them in check 😂😂😂
We must talk more about black cutlural, and KDOT is for the black community more than drake! lets set the record straight
Yo I walked past one of those bicycle taxi dudes on 5th ave blasting it next to the nike store.
Only one of these rappers been hating the other since 2013. The only credit Aubrey deserves is for having the delusional confidence to think he would be able to go toe to toe with the certified boogeyman
Frank Ocean is goated even though he's got like 3 albums in 14years
The video is going to drop either on July 1st as another f*$k you lolol because thats Canada Day. Or July 4, to coincide with "independence day" that's my bet lol
That's an absolute good prediction
But everyone gonna be out.. but I guess we’re gonna run to it regardless of what we’re doing lol
Drakeo also passed. This event was needed
Kendrick did say in Euphoria: “if you take it there, I’m taking it further. And that’s something you don’t wanna do” 🤷🏽♀️ Drake didn’t heed the warning
Kendrick been popping from way back when, winning 17 Grammys, 1 Primetime Emmy award, Brit award, 4 American music award, 6 Billboard award,11 MTV music award and 29 BET hip-hop awards, and all kinds of accolades throughout his career, they think Kendrick is a newbie or something? Are these people dence or something? Are they stupid or dumb?. We're not gonna start to make up all kinds of weird fabricated lies on this weird new "throw dirt on Kendrick's image" campaign that they have going on, we're not gonna start doing that when Kendrick has been popping for years, they are looking very desperate and will say and make up just about anything that they can to throw dirt on this man's name and legacy.
I dont think Kendrick needed drake for “inspiration” drake clearly disrespected Kendrick’s family, his closest friends and on top of that that whole AI Tupac and snoop. Drake disrespected so Kendrick responds. It’s that simple.
This battle is spiritual not physical
FINALLY!!!
Great,show folks..👏👏
Ebro nails it every time. His analysis is so culturally informed and nuanced.
I'm grateful for all that contributed in this conversation & know that the conversation will continue on!! KENDRICK will remain the GOAT of 2024!
Nadeska is always getting interrupted. Please let her speak.
Drake fans are not fans of Hip Hop, they are fans of Drake
Wrong, wrong and wrong. I can listen to Rakim and Drake in the same hour. I didn't stop listening to Yasiin because he had had snarky comments for Drake. It's possible to like a plethora of artists.
@@BlackGirlInADoggoneWorld but yall out here moving like u only listen to what billboard cosigns. If the music doesn't have billions of streams then it's trash to yall
Thanks for this! Hip Hop started in neighborhoods where young people didn't have much. Their music changed art, dance and clothing and it went worldwide. This is not about Drake, it's about understanding and respecting the culture.
26:25 Ebro said it 💯💯💯
Been waiting for this
feels people been waiting for Drake to be put in his place lol
it's like saying "thank you" to a father who isn't there for making you a better man-nah, buddy-you did it on your own.
This video is a true gem! A wellspring of inspiration for life! -- "Life is an intricate masterpiece; embrace its colors.."
Alchemist won this battle….S/O to Mustard, but AL stopped the world!💯❤️
Certified Drake Haters🤞🏽
Who
I'm a fan of both. Loving this 🔥
I'm in Virginia and was in the nail shop yesterday, and they were blasting, not like us❤
Kendrick didn't need inspiration from Drake!! What could he really do to inspire him??? I'll wait..... Kendrick is his own man and walks to his own beat. He is a true lyricist!!! No need for ghost writers and doesn't just make music just to make it.
Thanks Drake you took an “L” for the culture. Sincerely, ALL KENDRICK AND HIP HOP FANS!!!!
homie was about to cry @22:49
Pretty Good podcast keep it up guys ❤
I still like Drake's music that other people wrote for him. Kendrick did make me see Aubrey for who he truly is though. A spineless actor, Jewish industry plant.
drake should make kid jew songs with the melodies. anything but rap
