Kendrick Disses Drake Again—His New Song Justifies Destroying Him

The message here is as harsh as anything he’s said in the battle thus far

Kendrick’s new untitled song is yet another brutal attack on Drake. Yes, it’s part of the battle because when we write the history of this battle we’re going to include this song so what’s he saying? Musically the vibe is mellow vibe but lyrically, damn, he’s making a case for the destruction of Drake for the good of the culture. He’s asserting that righteous violence is acceptable to rid the world of Drake and his soulless hedonism and pointless materialism and endless childish partying.

K says

Just walk that man down, that’ll do everyone a solid. 
It’s love but tough love sometimes gotta result in violence
if you parade in gluttony without givin truth to the youth 
the graveyard is company, just tell us what casket to choose.

He’s saying that ending Drake will help everyone and that Kendrick loves the culture so much that he’s willing to eliminate people who would spread spiritual poison in the culture. If you parade in gluttony (hedonism, materialism, partying) and not truth then you gotta go for the good of us all. What kills me is the justification of his destruction and how it’s couched in moral terms, as in, he’s morally right to be violent in this situation and his violence comes from his love of the culture. He’s making a case for why ending the boy is the moral thing to do. The message here is as harsh as anything he’s said in the battle thus far.

I started to say that Kendrick has taken a Jesus-like perspective but it’s more like the perspective of a God who’s saying I’m going to send a flood to wash away those who aren’t beneficial to the world, or in this case, the culture. Who else but God has the right to say you deserve to die for the good of everyone?

Verse 1 attacks Drake. Verse 2 attacks hiphop media figures who ride for him like Akademics. He says

We can do life without em, get they bodies organized, tell me if you obliged
No more pillow-talking, jump-starting neighborhood wars
The flashy nigga with nasty decisions using money as a backbone 
I want his head cracked before he’s back home/ the radio personality pushin propaganda for salary
 let me know when they turn up as a casualty, I want agony. 
Assault and battery, I see a new Earth 
filled with beautiful people making humanity work.

He’s saying it’s ok to be violent toward people who are holding us back from a better world. It’s The Purge with a righteous angle.

In verse 3 Kendrick asks how would a Christian rapper handle this because he wants to be Christian about this, he wants to be empathetic, but we’ve got to get these devils out of the way.
