The Beat Drop

May 3 2024 • 7 mins

Kendrick Lamar's latest disstrack, "6:16 in LA," serves as a potent follow-up to his earlier release, "euphoria," directly confronting Drake and reflecting on industry dynamics. The track cleverly uses a timestamp format akin to Drake's style, underscoring its targeted nature. In it, Kendrick questions Drake's authenticity and leadership, labeling him a "fake bully" and a "terrible person," while also hinting at discord within Drake's OVO camp. He extends his critique to media figures like Akademiks, suggesting compromised integrity. Through sharp lyrics and strategic public engagement, Kendrick uses "6:16 in LA" to assert his lyrical prowess and provoke thought on broader cultural and personal issues, earning the track a high regard in contemporary hip hop discussions.
