Kendrick Lamar Meet The Grahams

The Alchemist Reveals Backstory Behind His Kendrick Lamar “Meet The Grahams” Beat

by

When the world found out that The Alchemist produced the beat for Kendrick Lamar’s downright terrifying Drake diss, “meet the grahams,” they immediately barraged him with questions about how it came to life. Up to this point, the producer was pretty tight-lipped about the whole situation, only letting off some jokes here and there plus vague remarks on its release. But during a new interview that surfaced online on Thursday (September 26), he went into a little more detail about the haunting song. While there are still plenty of unanswered questions, it’s still exciting to hear this glimpse into one of 2024’s most notable hip-hop moments.

“That was a gospel record. Swear to God,” The Alchemist said of Kendrick Lamar’s six-minute track. “I sent it to him beforehand and he had it for a minute. I heard it when everybody else heard it. It was a trip. Yeah, I was getting a haircut at the studio and it came on the phone. We was listening online, someone was streaming. I thought my phone was bugging. I didn’t know.” We can’t imagine that he knew what that instrumental would become when he sent it to K.Dot.

The Alchemist Speaks On Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet The Grahams”

Elsewhere, Uncle Al had a lot of jokes to respond to incessant questions about the Kendrick Lamar track on Twitter. “Questlove made it known that you weren’t aware Kendrick was going to use your beat for meet the graham’s. Did it bother you that Kendrick did that? Was it okay with you that Questlove gave us that information?” a fan asked. The Alchemist replied with this: “Nah but I was extremely bothered and downright livid when I realized that all these years I did not know that Cap’n Crunch’s full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch.”

What’s more is that we know that The Alchemist feels pretty proud of this beat, and he should. He even played it at a Los Angeles club a couple of months ago, but at least he didn’t let Kendrick Lamar scare us again over it. We can only wonder what other collaborations and possible astonishments they have collecting dust in the vault, only to emerge in unexpected ways.

The Alchemist is one of the best producers in the history of hip-hop. Overall, he has delivered some classic songs, and there are fans out there who believe his catalog can not be beaten. While The Alchemist has remained extremely active this year, fans mostly have his “Meet The Grahams” beat on their minds. Although it is unknown when he cooked up this beat, it is very well known that this is the track that helped Kendrick defeat Drake.

It’s a skeletal beat that contains some dark piano keys and some drums that help divide up each verse. The loop is haunting and when you combine it with the lyrical content of “Meet The Grahams,” you end up with one of the scariest tracks to ever grace a rap beef. Well, while out in LA, The Alchemist was doing a set, and he opted to play the now-infamous beat. Of course, this isn’t exactly the perfect club song. Consequently, The Alchemist played the beat without any vocals on top of it.

Kendrick Lamar’s First Reaction To Drake’s “Family Matters” Revealed

by

Kendrick Lamar and Drake went toe-to-toe on the night of May 3rd. Overall, it all started in the morning when Kendrick dropped “6:16 In LA” as a follow-up to “Euphoria.” That night, Drake dropped off “Family Matters” which was a scathing track that accused Kendrick of colorism and domestic violence. Less than an hour later, Kendrick returned the favor with “Meet The Grahams.” In what some say is the most sinister diss track of all time, Lamar accuses Drake of being a deadbeat father who allegedly employs sex offenders and allegedly is one himself. It was a shocking song that was then followed up by a club banger the next day, in “Not Like Us.”

While appearing on Bootleg Kev’s show, Compton artist JasonMartin spoke about the beef and how he had a direct line to Kendrick throughout the whole thing. As you can see in the clip below, Martin explains how he texted Kendrick following the release of “Family Matters.” Based on text messages sent by Kendrick, it appears as though he wasn’t sweating Drake’s response. Instead, he told Martin that he had been waiting for a response. Martin then recalls going to the bathroom and by the time he was done, “Meet The Grahams” had been uploaded.

Martin noted throughout the interview that while he enjoys Drake, Kendrick is on a whole different planet with his music. Furthermore, he believes Drake simply didn’t understand the kind of tactician he was going up against. Considering how the beef played out, it is clear that Kendrick outsmarted Drizzy the whole way through. Even now, Drake has been left scrambling, with his “U MY EVERYTHING” and “Wah Gwan Delilah” verses being panned by critics.

The Alchemist says he didn’t have any issues with Kendrick Lamar using one of his beats for “Meet The Grahams.” The iconic producer discussed his reaction to the diss track during a Q&A with fans on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. When asked about the song, he downplayed the seriousness of the situation with jokes about Cap’n Crunch cereal.

“Questlove made it known that you weren’t aware Kendrick was going to use your beat for meet the graham’s. Did it bother you that Kendrick did that?” one fan asked. “Was it okay with you that Questlove gave us that information?” In response, Alchemist explained: “Nah but I was extremely bothered and downright livid when I realized that all these years I did not know that Cap’n Crunch’s full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch.”

Lamar released “Meet The Grahams” back on Friday, May 3rd, immediately following the release of Drake’s song, “Family Matters.” On the song, he gets extremely personal with Drake while criticizing his relationship with several family members. He followed it up with the hit song, “Not Like Us,” the next day, before Drake eventually retaliated with “The Heart Part 6.” In the weeks since that chaotic weekend, both artists have been silent on the diss track front. Drake, however, just dropped the viral “Wah Gwan Delilah” with Snowd4y.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss Is Man’s Hilarious Response To Getting Ghosted

by

It goes without saying that Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s lyrical feud left the hip-hop community in shambles, and has since produced countless hilarious memes. Of course, one of the most memorable moments of the entire battle was when Drake dropped “Family Matters,” and within the hour, Kendrick fired back with “Meet The Grahams.” Their beef appears to have mostly fizzled out for the time being, though social media users continue to debate about it online.

Now, a new post is going viral on Twitter/X, in which a man uses Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track as a means to respond to a date gone ghost. The original poster, @jcruraps on TikTok, got creative with his own scathing bars. The lady on the receiving end of the diss, Sarah, simply replied “WTF????” at first, though she upped the ante when fans demanded a formal response.

Fittingly, she decided to use Drake’s “Push Ups” beat to fire back, delivering a few of her own witty jabs and insisting that he was actually the one in the wrong. Listeners are now weighing in on the fierce battle in the comments section, and the consensus is that Sarah cooked. “They are meant for each other,” one X user jokes. “LOL dude just realized he dissed his soul mate,” another writes.

It’s unclear whether or not they ever went on another date, though fans think they know how it’d play out if things went south again. What do you think of a man using Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet The Grahams” to respond to a date who ghosted him? What about her firing back with a diss of her own?

Young Thug Thinks This Of The Drake & Kendrick Lamar Beef

by

Young Thug has been in jail for over two years now due to the Rico case against him in the state of Georgia. Overall, this has left him out of the loop on many of the inner-workings of the music industry. However, he does have an inside source these days in Mariah The Scientist. The R&B singer has been visiting Thugger in prison and has been able to play him some music, while also explaining the intricacies of rap beef. Of course, we are talking about the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

Given that Thug has a relationship with Drake and Metro Boomin, one would be curious to know what he thinks about what’s happening. Although as Mariah The Scientist explains, he isn’t really taking sides. “For sure. I tell him everything. I might tell him too much. I play him the [diss] songs over the phone and s–t. He’s a lover of music in general,” she explained. “He f–ks with everybody. I don’t think he would ever be able to – let me not speak for him. He love music though.”

Subsequently, Mariah The Scientist went on to say how Thugger feels about the beef in general. “He thinks it’s interesting, for sure,” she noted. “We were listening to some of the songs. Not all of them, because now I’ve gotten lost. In the beginning, I was like, ‘Hey, there’s a tizzy going on.’ I played him some of it. I feel like those two people are both great rappers. With all of the rappers with the guy and the girl rappers, granted it’s cool for the craft, and to be able to keep up with that — because let me not lie and say there’s no competitive energy in the music industry. Because there is.”

Do you think that Drake may come back and try to take back the lead? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

What’s Going On With Kendrick Lamar, Drake & The “Meet The Grahams” Cover Art?

by

When we look back on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, it’s likely that “Meet The Grahams” will be the point of no return. It dropped just minutes after Drizzy’s “Family Matters” diss, its cover art displayed items that allegedly belong to the Toronto superstar, and it contained serious allegations accusing the OVO mogul of child neglect, various addictions, and predatory behavior towards young women and others. It’s hands-down the darkest moment of the battle, and one that K.Dot quickly livened up with the No. 1 smash “Not Like Us.” But despite this feud being over for now, some posts about the cover art on Twitter have led fans down a much darker and more serious path.

An account on the social media platform by the name of EbonyPrince2k24 now has hip-hop heads becoming amateur investigative journalists and private detectives. The items on the “Meet The Grahams” cover art are no longer the focal point of conversation around it. Instead, these videos, tweets, statements, and interpretations in defense of, in Ebony’s words, “King Kendrick,” allegedly suggest a more sinister incident at The Mark Hotel in New York City in July of 2023. We want to make it clear that none of the following claims are proven true or verified; that this got a whole lot deeper than just rap beefing with Drake, and that we’re barely scratching the surface. We don’t know how involved Kendrick Lamar is in all this extracurricular speculation, as this seemingly transcends hip-hop, but here are more or less what the main claims are and what the alleged controversies suggest.

EbonyPrince2k24’s First Posts About The “Meet The Grahams” Cover Art

First, the rabbit hole deepened when EbonyPrince uploaded a video displaying various items that Kendrick Lamar put on his “Meet The Grahams” cover art. These include a shirt, prescription drugs with July 2023 dates, a May 8, 2024 newspaper, a Maybach glove, and jewelry receipts. Ebony claimed that he did not steal these items, as DJ Akademiks had suggested, and warned Ak and Drake to publicly say that Ebony did not steal the items or face legal action (at press time past noon on Monday, May 13, which was his deadline for this, no news has emerged of a lawsuit). Ebony also tweeted what seems to be CCTV footage of a hotel lobby dated January 22, 2023, which he says he posted to remind Aubrey Graham of when he discarded those items. Journalist Christopher Alvarez also appears in that alleged screenshot.

Further tweets claim that Drake caused two Black men to lose their jobs on that day and that he “made an enemy,” and Ebony further suggested that the 37-year-old is blocking him from getting money. Ebony even claims that the New York Police Department opened an investigation and almost arrested Ebony over Drake’s “accommodations” and claims of assault, the alleged perpetrator of which is unclear. He then posted a video of Drake presumably entering The Mark Hotel in NYC while a female fan tried to run after him. “I’ve stood next to you in the rain to keep the paps and fanatics away,” Ebony wrote. The last important accusation to mention is that Ebony allegedly recorded the video of the “Meet The Grahams” items from, according to fan theories, from either Kendrick Lamar’s balcony or the hotel next to The Mark.

The Second Wave Of The “Meet The Grahams” Rabbit Hole: Drake Catches More Allegations

As if all that wasn’t enough bizarre speculation, EbonyPrince2k24 returned on Monday (May 13) to post another video of items, but this one is different. These aren’t the “Meet The Grahams” cover items, but rather a May 13, 2024 newspaper, a multi-colored set of jewelry, and two shooting range posters. Also, Ebony posted another picture of jewelry on Twitter, perhaps insinuating that these items are allegedly Drake’s. Then, he said that The Boy introduced a “dilemma” into his professional life, suggested that all these items are from a Lost and Found, and that he “understood the assignment” when he saw the “Meet The Grahams” cover art a couple of days after it released. Ebony also insinuates that Drake asked for a “little bag” in Ebony’s possession, and did not care about the “big bag” that may have contained these items.

Meanwhile, Ebony also called Drake’s entourage a “goon squad” that “pushes the service providers who are trying to assist out of the way,” is mean to staff, and once struck a service provider due to thinking that they were a paparazzi. “On top of costing people to be fired, costing people to resign, and nearly costing me to be arrested (all in the lawsuit against young Theodore from earlier)…” he also tweeted. This could refer to The Mark Hotel’s defamation lawsuit against Theodore Weintraub, who reportedly accused the hotel of denying the Holocaust and supporting Jeffrey Epstein.

Final Claims & Theories

Throughout the rest of the day, Ebony has been making more claims, referring to a “3rd party company” that some have unverifiably linked to Drake’s alleged security company. Ebony also alluded to his legal responsibility to “report any questionable activity regarding the humans this law covers…” The law in question is presumably related to “Identifying and Reporting Child Abuse and Maltreatment,” based on a screenshot of a certificate of completion of mandated reported training. Once noon on Monday rolled around, Ebony posted a picture of the Kaspia restaurant at The Mark Hotel, suggesting once again that something serious allegedly happened there on July 27, 2023. “My eyes [don’t] determine age. They… decipher adult from adolescent. Young Theodore made changes to how we monitored youngins…” he captioned the photo.

At around 2 pm EST, EbonyPrince posted another alleged CCTV clip in the same alleged hotel lobby that also shows that journalist Christopher Alvarez was there. An unidentifiable person walks in, but the clip cuts off before anything happens. Ebony then announced that he would sell all the items this November at a New York event, and said that he’s ready to die over this information. However, he suggested that he won’t share it since it’s all with the lawyers now, and finally, he claimed that he “only told Kendrick [Lamar] about the items.” On top of all this, DJ Akademiks also expressed his opinion that Drake allegedly never had a mole in Kendrick’s camp feeding him false info, which is related to these items. Overall, it’s impossible to tell whether EbonyPrince2k24 is telling the truth or making mountains out of molehills. For now, the waters are muddier than ever.

Drake Versus “The Riddler”: Fans React To Viral Video Of “Meet The Grahams” Items

by

Are we watching hip-hop titans face off on wax or supervillains hack and scheme their way to the top of the social media food chain? The Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef took some wild turns on its run up until this point, but this is starting to get to the point of parody. Moreover, you’ve probably seen some viral discussion about a particular Twitter account’s constant postings about Drizzy’s alleged items featured on the “Meet The Grahams” YouTube cover art. The sinister nature of the video of these supposed belongings, plus the messages and demands from the account, have folks comparing them to “The Riddler” from the Batman franchise.

Furthermore, the realm of social media isn’t the only battlefield in which Drake and Kendrick Lamar are in pretty direct and steep competition as far as which fanbase can make the most excuses for their victory. The charts are also contributing to this, too, as the latter recently broke some staggering Spotify records held by the former. “Not Like Us” is an absolute smash hit that even the Billboard charts might not be able to deny, although whether it will actually hit the No. 1 spot is a mystery. There are a lot of bizarre things to discuss about this whole debacle, and that was before people started comparing K.Dot to The Joker.

Drake’s Alleged “Meet The Grahams” Items Shown In Viral Video

Elsewhere, there are some other people in the rap world who are allegedly coming out of the woodwork to chime in on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. We say “allegedly” because we don’t know for sure whether 21 Savage’s recent tweet was actually a commentary on backstabbing in hip-hop. Still, the message and the context surrounding his loyalties to both the 6ix God and Metro Boomin line up too well for folks not to theorize. But the real answer to that is, simply, that 21 probably doesn’t want to deal with all that while he’s on tour and has no obligations to “pick a side.” Nevertheless, check out reactions to “The Riddler” down below, as they’ve definitely picked a side.

Meanwhile, this pairs up with some curious updates in Drake’s life, such as him re-listing his Beverly Hills mansion. Hopefully these developments lean more towards this and father away from the shooting and trespassing that occurred in his Bridle Path neighborhood recently. This feud got nasty a long time ago, and it seems like the rabbit hole only goes deeper. Fans are just praying that it ends soon.

Drake’s Alleged Belongings Appear In Cryptic New Video, Twitter User Defends Kendrick Lamar

by

Amid the fallout from Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s recent lyrical feud, someone new has joined the conversation, who’s now been dubbed “the Riddler.” Today, a mysterious Twitter user hopped online to show off Drake’s alleged belongings. The items appear to be the same ones featured in Kendrick Lamar’s original “Meet The Grahams” cover art. In an eerie clip, the individual plays the diss track on a laptop, panning over to reveal the items.

“#1. King @kendricklamar is not a liar, and I am not a thief!” they captioned the post. “#2. Mr. Aubrey Graham (@Drake) & Mr. Livingston Allen (@Akademiks) have until noon Monday 5/13/24 to retract your claims of theft, or my attorney Ms. Adrienne Edward and I will exhaust every legal option available.” At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly who the person is. They didn’t stop there, however.

They then went on to share a photo of security footage from the Mark Hotel, where Drake stayed in January 2023. “To Mr. Aubrey Graham (@Drake ), may this photo help jog your memory as to where you discarded those items. The issue in the photo should also jog your memory. Jimmy Brooks would not have been proud of you that night,” the user wrote. A subsequent Tweet reads, “You’ve had many things discarded on your behalf over the years. I wonder if you can remember them all…”

“You’re blocking my money with your lies, so you have forced me to get it another way,” they also added. The cryptic and bizarre posts have since garnered reactions from countless social media users, who’ve been left to wonder who’s behind them.

TDE’s Punch Questions Elliott Wilson’s Edit Of Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet The Grahams”

by

Kendrick Lamar has removed copyright from almost every other person, page, account, content channel, or reactor posting his recent Drake diss tracks online… except for one. Moreover, Elliott Wilson had taken to Twitter with an edited version of his haunting song “Meet The Grahams” without the verse claiming that Drizzy has a secret daughter. Then, he expressed surprise when he realized that the copyright owner disabled the media on Twitter, for which people have many theories. TDE’s president Punch had some words on the matter, and his statement on the edit is fueling other ideas as to why K.Dot would’ve wanted to take that down.

“Why would you request for it to be edited anyway? Did you ask for edits on anything else?” Punch asked Elliott Wilson, who invited him for a conversation in the replies on Twitter. Moreover, this lends credence to the speculative idea that Kendrick Lamar wants to keep the original version of the song intact because, even though his allegations are unverified, so are many of Drake’s and ones on other of his own tracks. As such, Punch seems to be pointing at an apparent double standard in this beef that Wilson probably did not intend in the first place.

Punch Reacts To Elliott Wilson’s Kendrick Lamar Edit

Regardless, the damage is there, and Kendrick Lamar and Drake seem no closer to providing proof on one another or burying the hatchet at any point in the future. Perhaps the battle isn’t over yet despite what most folks are saying online, so we’ll see if this changes at any point. Of course, there are people like Freddie Gibbs who rightfully concluded that the only real winners in this beef were the record labels. Maybe this scuffle over an edit also speaks to how hip-hop media was able to shift and mold this battle in their image for their own gain or benefit, but we’re all complicit in that as fans.

Meanwhile, we can’t help but wonder how this whole situation will age. Will we ever remember this edited version of “Meet The Grahams,” and will “Not Like Us” keep its commercial staying power? No matter the case, this is going down in the history books one way or another. Kendrick Lamar and Drake went too hard, too quick, too low, and too impressively to not consider this one of the most memorable hip-hop moments of the past decade or so.
