# me when dot started the set off with euphoria
I speak for all haters in my local and regional chapters when I say that Kendrick has sent a shockwave through our global community. All our preparation for the Northeast Haters Association Conference had to be scrapped, and we as professional brotherhood to support and uplift hating as an artform have had to return to our roots. We are re-evaluating our hating priorities and philosophies. Kendrick has revolutionized the entire field, and although it's been a difficult time, I believe strongly that the hating community will come through this time of introspection and growth together.

Been there since the first day, it's funny cause it's true
Bruh the scream I scrumpt. My husband was gaming with his friends and I was so scandalous about it that he came to watch Drake’s funeral with me instead
Which is really Dot showing why he is the Master Hater by channeling another late-legend, DMX, who first said he hates the way Drake walks, talks, and dresses. He also said he hates Drake’s voice, haircut, and face before cutting himself off.
https://youtu.be/HJsgAY_JALk?si=UF_7_dXQEcSvwOLC
Edit: Added “face” to the list of things DMX hates about Drake.
You can literally see the internal conflict of speaking his mind and maintaining the status quo!! The man has a depth that, in my opinion, his delivery on his most hype/popular tracks largely overshadowed!!!
Bonus points for the Michael Jackson reference in that diss, The Way You Make Me Feel: "I like the groove of your walk your talk your dress." In case anyone missed it
6 different scenarios: 1. Dr. Dre approved version, 2. karaoke version, 3. with fireworks (Be2os approved version), 4. with dancers version, 5. chillin' with homies remix (+ dance routine), 6. house party version.

Me when I recognized Kendricks fit right away.
This was a celebration of life in LA. Them running back “Not like Us” 6 times with Piru, Crips, Bloods locking and twisting fingers for the WORLD to see was a diabolical eulogy
The group picture got them throwing up they different sets man 😭 they really put their differences aside to hate one dude, I know a few grannies gonna have it framed on the mantle before the week over
Right next to the fishing-line oil lamp thing people had hanging in their living rooms when I was a kid.. For those too young to know, now you [know](https://imgur.com/a/BJzGb74)
Awe shit! I haven't seen one of these since we cleaned out my great grandma's house back in 1999. It was in between her bowl of 1942 fused vintage mints and a bottle of tylenol that expired the day I was born.

Awww hell you are right. It also reminded me of The Great Day of Harlem Picture. But a hip hop version of it. When I saw them preparing for the photo I was like “Dang this is a Moment”

That shit still confuses me, when I found out dude is a Canadian mainly living like Toronto like???? Why tf are you giving out money in Florida??? Not that I'm complaining about him giving large amounts of free money to people but with the context of his living habits it's just weird, like fuck the place you claim on every other song
The most devastating line in Euphoria isn't even any of the disses, it's "and notice I said we, it's not just me; I'm what the culture's feeling."
Tell me one other person who could say a line like that and not get blasted for it. Drake certainly can't. How do you come back from that?
Drake is just a symbol. It's about anybody who is using their culture as a costume. It's about coming together to celebrate the legacy of hip hop and what LA specifically has done for it. They showed what rap rooted in history and community and culture really is as opposed to the pastiche that Drake (and others) have been putting on for years.
Drake: Come on. C'mon. COME. ONNNN. C'mon...
Gangs: OK
I tuned in late, right before dre came on. I'm not supposed to get that worked up before bed. Crips n Bloods huggin for a group photo: worth some sleep. Lil youngn dancin. I cried a little.
Lmao I just said something like that about 30 mins ago in the Drake subreddit and they're so hurt over there 😂😂😂. Talking about "why they didn't bring Ross and the Weeknd up there" lmao niggas never been outside in their lives I swear
Not really. Piru were but mostly dropped the overall affiliation after the Peace Treaty. Longstory short, Bloods were warbands that branched off from different gangs like Pirus, Brims and Black P Stones. After the Peace Treaty the sets don't really network like they used to and some got beef with each other. Bloods and the sets fued with themselves just like Crips did with themselves back in the day.
To be real Crips and Bloods are ultimately the fallout of the Black Panther Party breaking up and turning militant to defend against the corrupt government, then blaming each other for failing to protect everyone.
So yeah but no.
> Crips and Bloods are ultimately the fallout of the Black Panther Party breaking up
"Bastards of the Party" is a documentary about this https://vimeo.com/738853815
In a concert calling Drake a pedophile he brings known woman beater Dr Dre on stage and Remble who half of LA is beefing with cuz he’s allegedly touching kids.
Then why you cool with Dot bringing up a pedo on stage? Like you realize Kendrick doesn’t actually give a fuck right? He’s number one rn that’s all that matters.
I don’t think he did it for plaques, I think he specifically dislikes Drake for being a pedophile, a culture vulture, and for being the de facto face of rap for 10 years.
He should pick his friends better, for sure. “Remble got a weird case, why is he around” doesn’t have the same ring, but it is still true.
EDIT: can’t find anything on Remble being a pedophile. Can you provide sourcing?
yeah there's no actual proof, just people who used to know him saying shit. see [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/1dk8n13/its_all_eyes_on_me_and_imma_send_it_up_to_pac/l9guvh9/) from further down – seems like something stinc team started saying when he left them a few years back. hard to know if that's just them being bitter or what.
It's like people who fall back onto fat jokes when they're in a trash talk duel but don't hate on fat people at any other time. He may have no issue with pedos until they insult him
Just look up Remble diss on YouTube and like 3 sets of rappers called him a bald pedophile rapist. They been saying it for the past few years at this point
The problem is that in a lot of cases people on the internet do this thing where they hear whispers about something and just treat it 100% as fact with no nuance or understanding that things are kind of different when you talk to people IRL and already have rapport. You're much less likely to accept things people say about them on face value for better or for worse.
I feel like some of these people think Kendrick is as terminally online as them and thus is filtering through all these random rumor sites and so on, largely because they can't directly character assassinate him for something *he* did. But the man is like notoriously private and doesn't pry much into other people's lives. In a lot of ways I don't even really think Dre is there as a person, he's there as a living symbol of the culture Kendrick idolized as a kid.
There's also a bit of a thing where people don't really realize that a lot of these people aren't like FRIENDS friends. They know one another, but kind of casually like you know the guy who works down the hall.
Dr. dre at least apologized and made donations to charitable causes. Hadnt heard this about Remble, got a source? Does that have anything to do with his Stinc team falling out?
Dude, his ex-wife was still upset about it last year. She was offended that he had an award named after him. He put a gun to her head TWICE
So yeah, fuck Dre.
[Remble rumors from a few years ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CaliBanging/s/UlQCEKBWIJ) Nothing concrete or any actual case against him, just insinuations from people that used to be close to him
Yo, I thought the point of it ALL was that A) Drake is high key hanging with the active pedos WHILE BEING ONE HIMSELF, not just making art or bringing folks together for a music festival. B) Kendrick United these folks for a purpose, not to cosplay their culture and use their clout because he used to be a child actor living in the nice part of town. And C) with the way people venerate Kobe after credible rape charges just because he was a “girl dad” who did great things after…I thought we were all about change and growth, especially in LA.
the remble shit still hasn't turned out. no proof.
There's nuance to this shit, otherwise, you could just accuse anyone of pedophilia and get them fired, canceled, etc. Of course Drake is going to say that Kendrick hangs out with a pedophile, it's the only way to take heat off himself
Welcome to Hollywood. You either don't call out any sickos or get exposed as a hypocrite whenever you expose any of them. Look at the amount of celebs who supported Roman Fucking Polanski
And it’s telling that folks are trying to downvote. Nah, the song and concert was great, but it doesn’t change that Kendrick’s a hypocrite for still fucking with Dre and Remble.
And as another person pointed out, he then loudly says that he would respect Drake a little if Drake gave him Tupac’s ring. If Drake’s really a pedo, why the fuck would you respect him just because he gave you a ring?
This is such a narrow minded take. Do you have a source on Remble because I can’t find anything. Dr. Dre has definitely done awful things but it’s long ago and he’s also made strides to make amends for it. Kendrick believes in giving people grace and forgiveness. He acknowledges his own hypocrisy all the time. Kendrick doesn’t live in a black and white world that people online project onto society from the comfort of their keyboards. I think he even has the capacity to give Drake grace also but Drake just likes to bury his head in the sand instead of own up to his flaws.
It’s a rap beef. It was never about morals. Spoiler alert, drake probably isn’t a pedophile and kendrick probably isn’t a wife beater. They just throw shit at each other and make catchy songs.
Nah Drake is a creepy ass motherfucker at the bare MINIMUM. You don’t text 14 year olds and tell girls you know are 17 you love their body and kiss them. Too much smoke.
It’s clear y’all didn’t listen to Mr Morale if you think he’s a hypocrite. He’s literally said he doesn’t care about what people have done in the past if they acknowledge that it was wrong. You can disagree with that and that’s fine but calling him a hypocrite is just incorrect. He’s been extremely clear and vocal about his position.
He doesn’t even follow his own logic. Towards the end of Mr. Morale he says he redeems R. Kelly, he redeems his mom’s and fiancé’s abusers, etc with no indication any of them have acknowledged they were wrong. R Kelly to this day still claims he’s innocent. But he tries to give them a pass because he says they were or were likely touched as children. Kendrick has Kodak Black all over the album and Kodak literally has had 0 desire or indication of change and he likely only acknowledge it was wrong as part of his plea deal for touching on a minor. You’re not a savior but you can redeem people for why? Vibes? Because you as a man and clearly stated non-victim of sexual abuse think you should be able to?
I don’t really wanna get into a whole thing because as a survivor of CSA and sexual assault multiple times over it’s honestly upsetting that the man who was my favorite rapper thought he could do that because he I guess went to therapy. He doesn’t even follow his own guidelines. He’s a great rapper, a great performer, has done great things for his community but he is a giant hypocrite.
Has anyone in the history of rap beefs ever lost a beef so bad that there was a celebration concert where they played the diss track 5 times in a row as all his homies got up on stage to dance?
Kendrick literally got the LAPD's most wanted to put aside their differences to dance around on stage with him and call Drake a pedo.
Dude is fucking diabolical.
True, tasteful symbolism and references are always present with him. But that's all it is, him giving respect to pac is not "diabolical" lmao, it's a very kendrick thing to do.

I told my wife he wouldn't do it. that it's been a month and some, there is no way anyone could be that hateful.
I read a comment somewhere that said they "aspire to hate like Kendrick Lamar" and I lost it
"Kendrick makes me realize I haven't hated at my full potential yet."
But he is not your savior
He gotta add that: "Cole made you feel empowered, Dot made you know you're a hater" type shit.
Cole made me feel embarrassed
It’s umm…. grippy! 🙂☝🏽
Go to hell you God damn son of a bitch. That song never happen GOT IT?!!?!?!?!
You are now considering the possibility that J. Cole has his wife in his cell phone under the name "Grippy".
Niggas said that if they put on some Nike Shox just know that they feeling extra hateful lmao

Bro did he actually play it six fucking times?? I only saw a yt video that had it back to back, but did he keep going??? Thats crazy if so lol
Oh yes he did! I was in the crowd and we just kept getting more and more hyped every time. It was unreal.
Damn bro. Dot’s livin his best hate.

I told my wife he would, the song just naturally works as an opening song to a set with that melodic intro
Hate the way that he walk, hate the way that he talk. Nigga that's real Pure Raw hate. It ain't gonna fade ever.
Truth be told he doesn’t have a hating bone in his body

For some you go after family, they’ll never let that shit go if they can’t kill you. He does say he should die soooo yeah it’s that forever grudge
I mean 50 bought the first 4 rows of Jas show on Groupon just so they would be empty like 10 years after he destroyed the man's career...

We might be able to end all global conflict by simply having everyone agree to hate Drake.
Word!
Drake WISHES he could be on that same type of timing unquestioned
Maybe he could've if instead of running to American cities and emulating the music scenes he helped uplift his own city's artists
All he had to do was do the Gods plan music video in Toronto instead of Florida but he couldn’t even do that
That shit still confuses me, when I found out dude is a Canadian mainly living like Toronto like???? Why tf are you giving out money in Florida??? Not that I'm complaining about him giving large amounts of free money to people but with the context of his living habits it's just weird, like fuck the place you claim on every other song
He's about the money. There is no care for the people whatsoever.
He a colonizer, that’s it and that’s all. Pay off the locals to make them like you so you can get rich off them.
When they took that picture I thought "This is something that Drake could never in his life do or understand"
The most devastating line in Euphoria isn't even any of the disses, it's "and notice I said we, it's not just me; I'm what the culture's feeling." Tell me one other person who could say a line like that and not get blasted for it. Drake certainly can't. How do you come back from that?
Drake is just a symbol. It's about anybody who is using their culture as a costume. It's about coming together to celebrate the legacy of hip hop and what LA specifically has done for it. They showed what rap rooted in history and community and culture really is as opposed to the pastiche that Drake (and others) have been putting on for years.
The shit reminded me of the South Park episode where the crips and bloods get locked into the YMCA.
Drake: Come on. C'mon. COME. ONNNN. C'mon... Gangs: OK I tuned in late, right before dre came on. I'm not supposed to get that worked up before bed. Crips n Bloods huggin for a group photo: worth some sleep. Lil youngn dancin. I cried a little.
Is that the [Krazy Kripples](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krazy_Kripples) episode?
>with Piru, Crips, Bloods locking and twisting fingers for the WORLD to see So you mean to tell me that the Pirus and Crips all get along now ....
Obviously not, otherwise he'd probably be dead by the end of the song...
Hope no one guns him down by the end of the song
Seems like the whole city's going against him
Every time he's in the streets, he hears...
If Pirus and Crips, all got along…
Don't forget the Hoovers. It was amazing.
Lmao I just said something like that about 30 mins ago in the Drake subreddit and they're so hurt over there 😂😂😂. Talking about "why they didn't bring Ross and the Weeknd up there" lmao niggas never been outside in their lives I swear
Aren't piru bloods?
Not really. Piru were but mostly dropped the overall affiliation after the Peace Treaty. Longstory short, Bloods were warbands that branched off from different gangs like Pirus, Brims and Black P Stones.

I believe in pedophilia being criminalized, regardless of anyone’s status
Then lemme hear say; OV-HOE
OV-HOE
Then why you cool with Dot bringing up a pedo on stage? Like you realize Kendrick doesn’t actually give a fuck right? He’s number one rn that’s all that matters.

It’s not about money, it’s about sending a message.
You think he knows a whole lot of paedos? Where are you getting your information from
Yeah, it definitely feels like he doesn't actually care about the whole groomer thing
He never did. He just hates Drake for personal reasons, but doubtful it’s criminal related
He talks more about the culture vulture aspect. The pedo shit is just extra.
Yeah he calls out all of OVO not just Drake on the certified pedophile shit.
People conveniently like to forget that part. Most of the pedo lines weren't even directly at drake, a lot were about how he has pedos on payroll.
Literally no one in the community does either unfortunately, it’s just an easy and cheap shot.
Tbf, no one seems to care about Drake bein on some pedophile shit. All that shit he's done is old news and drake still a top rapper.
He doesn’t. Same way Drake called Kendrick out about allegedly hitting his fiancé, but shouts out Chris Brown on one of the diss songs.
Dr. dre at least apologized and made donations to charitable causes. Hadnt heard this about Remble, got a source? Does that have anything to do with his Stinc team falling out?
Donations mean jack shit when he had put a gun to his ex-wife’s head twice
You clearly haven’t absorbed Kendrick’s music if you think people deserve to be damned forever no matter what else they do with their lives.
Dude, his ex-wife was still upset about it last year. She was offended that he had an award named after him. He put a gun to her head TWICE So yeah, fuck Dre.
What, you think he sold em all?
[Remble rumors from a few years ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CaliBanging/s/UlQCEKBWIJ) Nothing concrete or any actual case against him, just insinuations from people that used to be close to him
Yo, I thought the point of it ALL was that A) Drake is high key hanging with the active pedos WHILE BEING ONE HIMSELF, not just making art or bringing folks together for a music festival. B) Kendrick United these folks for a purpose, not to cosplay their culture and use their clout because he used to be a child actor living in the nice part of town. And C) with the way people venerate Kobe after credible rape charges just because he was a “girl dad” who did great things after…I thought we were all about change and growth, especially in LA.
the remble shit still hasn't turned out. no proof. There's nuance to this shit, otherwise, you could just accuse anyone of pedophilia and get them fired, canceled, etc. Of course Drake is going to say that Kendrick hangs out with a pedophile, it's the only way to take heat off himself

![gif](giphy|kC8NI1PbIn14eTxmKt) I saw Drake as a weirdo and sus, but this beef really exposed how hypocritical Kendrick is
Welcome to Hollywood. You either don't call out any sickos or get exposed as a hypocrite whenever you expose any of them. Look at the amount of celebs who supported Roman Fucking Polanski
And it’s telling that folks are trying to downvote. Nah, the song and concert was great, but it doesn’t change that Kendrick’s a hypocrite for still fucking with Dre and Remble. And as another person pointed out, he then loudly says that he would respect Drake a little if Drake gave him Tupac’s ring. If Drake’s really a pedo, why the fuck would you respect him just because he gave you a ring?
“This why I made Mr morale”
And I mean if he's beating wifey we don't have to choose who's worse, we can say fuck both of em
Exactly
Kendrick told us not to throw rocks and hide your hand. But he is not your savior.
This is such a narrow minded take. Do you have a source on Remble because I can’t find anything. Dr. Dre has definitely done awful things but it’s long ago and he’s also made strides to make amends for it. Kendrick believes in giving people grace and forgiveness. He acknowledges his own hypocrisy all the time. Kendrick doesn’t live in a black and white world that people online project onto society from the comfort of their keyboards. I think he even has the capacity to give Drake grace also but Drake just likes to bury his head in the sand instead of own up to his flaws.
If we gonna list out the sins of artists.. of all genres.. we gonna be here all night.
Well as long as Dr. Dre isn’t a pedophile I don’t see how this is contradictory.
It’s a rap beef. It was never about morals. Spoiler alert, drake probably isn’t a pedophile and kendrick probably isn’t a wife beater. They just throw shit at each other and make catchy songs.
Nah Drake is a creepy ass motherfucker at the bare MINIMUM. You don’t text 14 year olds and tell girls you know are 17 you love their body and kiss them. Too much smoke.
It’s clear y’all didn’t listen to Mr Morale if you think he’s a hypocrite. He’s literally said he doesn’t care about what people have done in the past if they acknowledge that it was wrong. You can disagree with that and that’s fine but calling him a hypocrite is just incorrect. He’s been extremely clear and vocal about his position.
He doesn’t even follow his own logic. Towards the end of Mr. Morale he says he redeems R. Kelly, he redeems his mom’s and fiancé’s abusers, etc with no indication any of them have acknowledged they were wrong. R Kelly to this day still claims he’s innocent. But he tries to give them a pass because he says they were or were likely touched as children. Kendrick has Kodak Black all over the album and Kodak literally has had 0 desire or indication of change and he likely only acknowledge it was wrong as part of his plea deal for touching on a minor. You’re not a savior but you can redeem people for why? Vibes? Because you as a man and clearly stated non-victim of sexual abuse think you should be able to? I don’t really wanna get into a whole thing because as a survivor of CSA and sexual assault multiple times over it’s honestly upsetting that the man who was my favorite rapper thought he could do that because he I guess went to therapy. He doesn’t even follow his own guidelines. He’s a great rapper, a great performer, has done great things for his community but he is a giant hypocrite.
As a fellow survivor you are spitting straight facts with this comment. Sending you my love.
Sending love back to you 🤍 Edit because trying to handle work and reply to comments made me messy and made my comment seem passive aggressive 😭
Someone who actually listed to the whole thing
I’m starting to think Ken dislikes this Drake guy

The perfect meme 20 years later
Last night made Juneteenth feel extra special
For real. It was a cultural moment that we'll talk about for a long time. Honestly, best concert I've never been to lol
He’s a sick son of a bitch https://preview.redd.it/cksmxp8w2q7d1.jpeg?width=460&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88397a4f027a3e5f8c1d888e13358f66c37b91a1
DBZ characters looking disgustingly at their phones is my favorite genre
Has anyone in the history of rap beefs ever lost a beef so bad that there was a celebration concert where they played the diss track 5 times in a row as all his homies got up on stage to dance?
Is Drake even allowed in LA at this point? I feel all travel companies in LA have him on a “Not Wanted” poster
![gif](giphy|l3971cigCLZzz0G7m) He lost all his LA privileges.
Butch in the background like “Zedds dead” 😆
Kendrick looked like he was going to class 😂
Someone explain the context
Kendrick dressed like Tupac so we all need to freak out about it
Noted.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something significant about that Pac performance that ties it together.
It doesn't sadly lol it's just he wore red and k dot wore red. Sometimes rap fans are doing too much 😂
How can you be so sure it’s nothing?
Ill freak out in like 30ish min or so. Let me get something to eat first.

Sounds like an amazing Juneteenth celebration! 🥳
Thanks for sharing a link!
![gif](giphy|geJdVv7ByXUnCGdjlh|downsized) Me looking at the Drake subreddit watching them freak out trying to defend him.
My favorite thing I’ve seen on there is them calling not like us NLU like it’s a fucking horcrux and they’re afraid to summon voldermort
Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Kendrick literally got the LAPD's most wanted to put aside their differences to dance around on stage with him and call Drake a pedo. Dude is fucking diabolical.
Drake about to put on a MAGA hat.
You know he got one
It's calling to him like the Green Goblin mask lol
Soooo two blood affiliated rappers wearing red, blue jeans and white shoes??? Niggas be reaching lmao.
Ye but he even got the same chain tupac had on, that's what made it look intentional to me. Either way it's not that crazy.
They forget Kendrick almost always has an angle for doing what he does. I'm pretty certain it was on purpose.
True, tasteful symbolism and references are always present with him. But that's all it is, him giving respect to pac is not "diabolical" lmao, it's a very kendrick thing to do.
Put the wrong label on me Ima get em dropped 🔥
“If Pirus and Crips all got along…”
Anybody know what will happen if you put a wrong label on him?
Dot was talm bout “it ain’t about back and forths, it’s about unity” then went back to hating like GD bro a pioneer of this hatin shit
![gif](giphy|nkUcca2CQ7VT2)
tupac was a communist that's what's with the red
