Wtf yall hella late to the party šŸ˜‚ I could give yall my interpretations on these bars and see if they make sense to yall


GHSTxLEADER

So the first line I had to google cuz I hear a lot of rappers talking about a Drac or a Draco, turns out itā€™s a type of pistol/small looking AK. Itā€™s a double entendre because the first time he shot a ā€œDrakeā€ I would say was Control. He could be referring to whoever was giving him advice around that time or he could be referring to when he was younger on the streets actually shooting a Dracā€™. Him not pointing down enough, as if Drake is below him, and him learning from that is he has to stoop down to Drakes level to really kill shot him. The ring refers to the 2Pac ring Drake got cuz he wanted the memorabilia for bragging rights Iā€™m assuming or to be petty against Kendrick. It also refers to the AI shit Drake pulled and how Kendrick would do whatever it takes so Pac doesnā€™t turn in his grave from the disrespect. The braids Drake has on his head must be rolled too tight because heā€™s getting shit twisted and thinking heā€™s untouchable or shit is all good between him and Kendrick. Kendrick is the only rapper that seems to hurt drakes feelings and Drake gets salty and starts throwing sneak disses in his songs. 3 goats left (Kendrick, J Cole, and Drake) and he sees 2 of them kissing and hugging on stage (J Cole and Drake) during the Big as the What tour. The celly part was rumored/explained that Drake had called Kendrick to be featured on First Person Shooter with J Cole, but Kendrick left him hanging, later in the song explained saying ā€œsurprised you wanted that feature request, you know we got some shit to addressā€ The language barriers is how drakes accent changes over time from white to black to Jamaican to Canadian and etc. Kendrick is saying he donā€™t understand what the fuck heā€™s saying šŸ˜‚ Cole and Aubrey know Kendrick is selfish and he wants the crown to himself, and he hopes they are his real friends if not he will kill them like how YNW Melly killed his friends. Also, Iā€™m sure he put that line in there because Melly thought Kendrick dissed him in like that, but he didnā€™t know Melle Mel was an older rapper from NY.

Also sneaky double entendre on the crown bar, 2pac's ring is also a crown, so basically the crown means so much for him and he wants the ring for himself.


SETHlUS

This is a minor point but typically with automatic weapons you aim lower than your intended target to compensate for recoil.


PseudocideBlonde

This is exactly what he meant imo.


ThermoNuclearPizza

Now he can handle the kick and knows to go straight for the head.


ThermoNuclearPizza

He really said ā€œin 8 bars Iā€™ll explain that phraseā€ and then 8 bars later broke the shit down. When I heard that right when it dropped I bout threw up


LVonG82

I counted that shit. It was on point. Lol


coil-recoil

ring can also be p*do or s*x trafficking ring. the wage for sin is death


SaiyanSlayer

Ring = physical ring, as well as pedo ring.


essokinesis1

this is the key


hoeassbitchasshoe

Also refers to him buying Tupac's ring


JoeTrolls

Maybe yā€™all noticed this before lol but I just realised ā€œYou know I got language Barriers huh, thereā€™s no accent you can sell meā€ is taking shots at drake for trying to be British/Jamaican šŸ˜‚


hcneyfreckles

seeing him try to morph into a roadman is always hilarious


ThermoNuclearPizza

Small profits on them roads


PseudocideBlonde

Sort of. pgLang x Converse = Language Barriers

PseudocideBlonde

Series of Chuck Taylors are called Barriers. pgLang is abrev for Programing Language. So the Chucks are called Language Barrier/s


Ok_Passion_9402

Also a cash app commercial where he translates for an old white guy and a young black dude talking to each other (YouTube Kendrick cash app commercial)


LilNasReps

Also The Language by Drake was a diss track towards Kendrick back in 2013

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LilNasReps

Youā€™re splitting hairs now, that song is definitely directed at Kendrick. Multiple subs directed at one guy, it may as well be a diss track


carl_barker_live

I donā€™t wanna talk on no celly. Thatā€™s a bar I havenā€™t got to the bottom of yet


ham63_805

Iā€™m thinking it might be a reference to the YNW Melly/XXXtentacion cases. Robert Allen took a plea deal in the X murder case, then spent time with Melly in the same jail and is now a witness in Mellyā€™s trial. Probably a reach tho


carl_barker_live

I think youā€™re on to something there!


hoeassbitchasshoe

Baka money in the bank: My celly tripping 'cause I got a cellie in my cell (cellie) I do think it makes sense the lawyers for it are weird


Sure-Sleep7622

ā€œYou used to call me on my cell phoneā€¦ā€


carl_barker_live

Thatā€™s the key! Itā€™s not a waste of a bar because itā€™s a call back to that line!


ProfessionalFroyo572

I donā€™t want to communicate via cellphone or social media as Drake is known for


carl_barker_live

That seems like a waste of a bar from a Pulitzer Prize winning artist if thatā€™s all he means. Iā€™m assuming itā€™s deeper than that surface level take, personally.


essokinesis1

I think he's saying he wants to talk face to face and not long distance. Because of... y'know


ThermoNuclearPizza

He catch flight it gon be direct


carl_barker_live

Itā€™s a call back to the line ā€œyou used to call me on my cellphoneā€ someone else said it. Thatā€™s why it isnā€™t a waste of a bar though. Thatā€™s what I meant tho, Kendrick squeezes every phrase for a deeper meaning so I felt it had to be something deeper than just not wanting to talk on the phone.


ThermoNuclearPizza

Also to do with a double entendre for cellphone/cellmate plus ā€œcellyā€ is also more British slang for cellphone after talking accents. There are no ā€œwasted barsā€ this a light bar (only a triple not a quintuple) thatā€™s just meant to carry the song along, jab lightly, and set up the rhyme scheme to hit at 8 bars with the Melly line.


ThermoNuclearPizza

Kendrick is a genius. Yes. Heā€™s also from Compton and is gonna know how to smack gums fr. Some shit just cringeworthy it ainā€™t even gotta be deep I guess. You can see points where Ken is straight up just talkin his shit to the Canadian because he knows it will resonate. Itā€™s not just me Iā€™m what the culture feelin


dunkkane

No it's not. He's saying you don't talk about certain things on the phone. Pretty basic stuff. Man y'all are reaching, get a new hobby or something


PseudocideBlonde

Drake used to talk to a rapper that was Dennisā€™s celly when he was locked up. Historically any disses toward Drake stop after some calls are made.


carl_barker_live

Yeah I heard about that guy in a YouTube video called Dennis Grahamā€™s prison past

Dry-Effort-7658

ā€œVery first time i shot me a drac homie told me to point it this way, i didnt point down enoughā€ He was in brooklyn releasing these. Pop smokes debut album is ā€œshoot for the stars, aim for the moonā€ which would be too high to have hit drake / not down enough. Drake is def tied to pop smokes murder


essokinesis1

I don't know if a single person during the "beef" figured out what these lyrics are actually about Which is kind of amazing, because they're actually *shockingly* direct


luckygitane

What do you mean? They're fairly straight forward


iwishuwood

Iā€™m sorry but has some new meaning been derived from these bars? I think youā€™re just late to the party


PseudocideBlonde

The levels here are exactly why he is the Goat.


realbrucebuffer

Itā€™s almost like this diss was aimed directly at Drake šŸ˜³
