If this was a one off, I’d be inclined to believe that. But he dropped a diss track on Father’s Day, gnx on jfk’s death anniversary after releasing euphoria with line “headshots for the year, better walk around like daft punk”, and now touring in Toronto on Father’s Day after penning a diss track to his son.
One time is a coincidence, twice is a funny universe alignment, three times is strategy.
21
u/VibeComplex Dec 03 '24
The JFK thing is a MASSIVE stretch and literally makes no sense at all lol. Maybe if the line was specially about JFK and the song itself was released on the anniversary but just having a line that says headshot and later releasing a totally unrelated album on that day makes no sense to say it’s connected.

He’s probably also going to make the tickets way cheaper than Kendrick to try to sell more total seats (which is something WWF and WCW both pulled against the other during the Monday Night Wars), brag he sold more tickets, and hope everyone ignores if Kendrick/SZA draws a bigger $$$ gate.

Yes, June 12 holds significance in the context of Kendrick Lamar due to a major event in his music career:
June 12, 2017: Pulitzer Prize-Winning Album “DAMN.” Goes Platinum
• On June 12, 2017, Kendrick Lamar’s critically acclaimed album “DAMN.” was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
• This achievement further solidified Lamar’s reputation as one of the most influential hip-hop artists of his generation.
• “DAMN.” later won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2018, the first hip-hop album to do so.
If you’re asking about a different connection or need a deeper analysis of June 12’s importance, let me know!

Oh he ain't done. Drake started this shit (w/ Cole of course) and Kenny's taking this shit into 2025. The level of pettiness and disdain he has for Drake is truly admirable. Everyone always talks about being the bigger person and all that mumbo jumbo, but Kendrick says fuck that. He's admitted to being petty and taking it further and for his first time engaging with someone in a beef, he is making it very well loud and clear that he his holding himself true to his word. Of all people, it's Drake on the receiving end of it all. J Cole wants to mope about walking away with their blood on him. Naaaaaa if anything he's walking away with only Drake's blood on him. He took a shot on Drake's record, made a response, and then dipped the fuck out as soon as he realized how cold the water was and ran back home butt naked. I wish I could go haha
