6:16 In LA

Kendrick Lamar Plays 4D Chess With Drake By Including Taylor Swift’s Producer On “6:16 In LA”

by

Kendrick Lamar delivered a scathing takedown of Drake on the song “Euphoria.” This was released on Tuesday, early in the morning. Overall, fans couldn’t help but be mesmerized by just how much of a hater Kendrick truly is. After all, he has been gearing up for this beef for about 10 years now. However, no one could have predicted just how battle-ready he is. In fact, on Friday, Kendrick decided to double down with a new track called “6:16 In LA.” It was a bold move, albeit one that is paying off in the eyes of the fans.

Now that this new song has been released, fans are looking for some hidden meanings. As it turns out, Kendrick has given fans plenty to analyze. In fact, the producers of this new song are drawing quite a bit of attention. As you can see down below, Sounwave and Jack Antonoff are responsible for this song. This is very interesting as Antonoff is known for being Taylor Swift’s main producer. With Drake roasting Kendrick for his proximity to Taylor, it seems as though Kendrick is trying to be a bit cheeky here.

It is one of those easter eggs that you cannot help but laugh at. Furthermore, it is too much of a coincidence to simply dismiss. At a quick glance, it seems like this is all very calculated. Kendrick has never done things just to do them. There is always a reason and motive behind everything he does. With “6:16 In LA,” that could not be any clearer.

DJ Akademiks Reacts To Kendrick Lamar Calling Him “Compromised” On Drake Diss “6:16 In LA”

by

DJ Akademiks has always made it known that he is a huge Drake fan. Although there have been times when Drake hasn’t seen eye-to-eye with the blogger, they have still remained friendly. In fact, Drake will sometimes feed Akademiks information. This information is subsequently read on stream for all to consume. However, as it turns out, this has led to people believing that Akademiks is “compromised.” That it is impossible for him to truly be objective given his proximity to Drake and his OVO camp.

Today, Kendrick Lamar dropped off a new song called “6:16 In LA” which is yet another shot at Drake. Throughout this song, Lamar takes a more laidback approach where he plays on the megastar’s supposed paranoia. Furthermore, on the song, he claims that Akademiks is “compromised” and will continue to say that Drizzy is winning, no matter what. As you can imagine, Akademiks heard this new song live on stream. While he was actually a fan of what Lamar did on this cut, he did feel the need to respond to the “compromised” allegations.

DJ Akademiks Speaks

In the clip above, you can see Akademiks applaud Kendrick for his effort here. However, as you can see, Akademiks also noted that he is not compromised. While he is a huge fan of Drake, he still feels the need to be objective. Furthermore, Ak said that some are trying to make it seem odd that someone would like Drake, given all he has given us in terms of music. It is a good point, however, fans are still going to see Ak as part of the OVO inner circle. He has given fans too many reasons to believe otherwise, at this point.

Let us know what you think of this reaction from DJ Akademiks, in the comments section down below. Do you believe him when he says that he isn’t compromised? How did you like this new Kendrick song? Do you believe that this could be a knockout punch? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Kendrick Lamar Claims Drake Is Being Backstabbed By OVO On “6:16 In LA”

by

Kendrick Lamar did, in fact, go “Back To Back” as promised and dropped another Drake diss, “6:16 In LA,” on Friday morning (May 3) three days after dropping “euphoria.” Moreover, this diss is a much more focused and specific takedown of the 6ix God rather than the multi-faceted and expansive set of points made on the first diss track. This time around, K.Dot is focusing on how much of his opponent’s OVO camp is supposedly against him, willing to give up info and only staying loyal because of money. Furthermore, he achieves this through lines like, “Have you ever thought that OVO was working for me?,” “Know the wires in your circle should puzzle you,” “If you were street smart, then you would’ve caught that your entourage is only to hustle you.”

Of course, as Kendrick Lamar fans tend to do, they will probably peel back a lot of other possible meanings and references in many of these bars in the next few days, so expect even more stuff to come out from both “6:16 In LA” and “euphoria.” But the points made here are very clear. On the other hand, Drake fans are already calling into question the Compton MC’s lyricism, specifically pointing to battle rap lines that he allegedly stole. But commonly repeated lines and metaphor openings that are peppered across The Boy’s catalog as well won’t be enough to change the narrative, or at least, that’s what Kendrick argues on this new song.

Kendrick Lamar’s “6:16 In LA”: Listen

Elsewhere, people are already going wild with their reactions to “6:16 In LA.” Many of the bars here could relate to many references on previous disses, such as the Gunna bar on “euphoria” and Kendrick Lamar’s allusions to Drake’s bodyguard Chubbs. Still, it’s clear to see that people are really running with the idea that the Toronto collective is not as tight-knit as they would have you believe, which is probably exactly what Kendrick wanted to paint with his bars. Whether it’s true or not, they are some heavy claims to tackle.

Meanwhile, everyone’s now patiently waiting to see what Drake could offer in response to Kendrick Lamar. They’ve teased some really damaging ammunition for another round, and it seems like the former TDE lyricist is calling Aubrey’s bluff here. It’s not impossible for him to bounce back with a strong retort, and that might just lock them in a war for life. Regardless, it’s all been a pretty interesting spat to witness, and one that will go down in the history books no matter what.

Kendrick Lamar Goes Back To Back On Drake With”6:16 In LA,” Fans React To Kendrick’s Second Diss Track

by

Kendrick Lamar delivered a diss track called “Euphoria” on Tuesday and it immediately sent the hip-hop world into a frenzy. Overall, this is a song that fans were hoping for given Drake’s lyrical assault on “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” In the end, “Euphoria” proved to be a massive win for Kendrick, as most fans have him up right now. On Friday, however, Kendrick decided to double down. He hinted that he would on “Euphoria,” although fans were not taking the threat seriously. As it turns out, they should have been.

Today, we got “6:16 In LA.” This is not a scathing and energetic takedown like “Euphoria.” Instead, it is a laid back track that is meant to poke the bear and inspire some paranoia within Drake. For instance, Kendrick takes shots at the OVO operation, claiming that there are double agents who are now working for him. He claims that Drake’s inner circle wants to see him fail. Moreover, he claims the OVO camp has tried to find dirt on Kendrick, but they have come up empty as he lives a pretty boring life.

Kendrick Lamar has flipped going back to back on Drake. With the dust settling on “euphoria,” Kendrick dug back into Drake’s bag of tricks and dropped a timestamp record, “6:16 in LA.”

In the song, Lamar acknowledges Drake and his OVO team are shook by the “euphoria” diss, evidenced by DJ Akademiks’s demeanor, who has been Drake’s mouthpiece throughout the beef.

Additionally, Lamar states that members of the OVO team are looking for Drake’s downfall and actually are working on his team.

“Everybody inside your team is whispering you deserve it
Can’t Tootsie Slide out of this one it’s just gone resurface
Every dog has its day, now live in yo purpose.”

Kendrick Lamar Didn’t Wait For Drake To Answer And Came Back With Another Diss Track, ‘6:16 In LA’

In case you missed it (somehow), Kendrick Lamar and Drake are beefing right now. In March, Lamar went after Drake (and J. Cole) on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” Last month, Drake responded with “Push Ups,” and a few days ago, Lamar fired back with “Euphoria.”

It’s Drake’s turn, but Lamar decided to skip the line and go again: Today (May 3), he dropped another Drake diss, “6:16 In LA.”

On the track, Lamar implies that people in Drake’s camp aren’t loyal to him, with lines like, “Have you ever thought that OVO is working for me,” “Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it,” “If you was street smart, you woulda caught your entourage is only to hussle you,” “100 guy that you got on salary, and 20 of them want you as the casualty,” and “It’s time you look around and see who’s really around you.”

Notably, the song’s title follows the same format as Drake’s famous timestamp songs.

This comes shortly after Rick Ross advised Drake to not respond to “Euphoria,” saying, “He may not even heard this yet but look, white boy: I know we not friends, but let me give you this advice because you ain’t got nobody around you, you ain’t got no real n****s around you. Let me put it like that: ain’t no real n****s. Stop. Don’t respond. Don’t respond. You ain’t even peep when the intro came on with that Teddy Pendergrass, that was that Black vibe. Don’t do it. Don’t go write an 8-minute verse.”
