Uh oh, Kendrick Lamar has disturbed the sleeping giant, Lil Wayne, with his super bold lyrics in “wacced out murals” from his surprise album, ‘GNX’, which dropped on Friday, November 22nd:
“…Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud
Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down
Whatever, though, call me crazy, everybody questionable
Turn me to an eskimo, I drew the line and decimals
Snoop posted “Taylor Made,” I prayed it was the edibles
I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go
Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me
All these n****s agitated, I’m just glad they showin’ they faces
Quite frankly, plenty artists, but they outdated
Old-ass flows, tryna convince me that you they favorite…”
Yeah, K. Dot REALLY said that in the song.. TOWARDS Lil Wayne, and whomever else has a prollem with him performing at the Super Bowl.
Well anyway, Snoop had replied in a joking manner and said that “it was the edibles”, calling Kendrick the “king of Cali”.
However, Lil Wayne didn’t
like what was said, and replied a different way:
“Man wtf I do?!
I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love”
Whoa…. That really just happened!
He posted it early the morning of Saturday, November 23rd to his X, aka Twitter.
You ever heard of the saying that sometimes when someone seems “too nice”, it’s because they know that they can go from 0 to 100 real quick? That’s the chilling vibe I got from Weezy’s post. The fact that he has been somewhat hypersensitive lately surrounding not being chosen to perform at the Super Bowl in New Orleans, makes it even more chilling. But let’s hope that things do not get that heated. Weezy had actually been doing a pretty good job at not inserting himself into K. Dot’s beef with Drake, even though he showed clear support of Drake by wearing and holding up his OVO chain while playfully rapping “Not Like Us” at a performance over the summer.
Since K. Dot mentioned age, it’s only fair to also mention both his and Lil Wayne’s ages at the time of this write-up… Kendrick is 37 and Lil Wayne is 42. That is just 5 years apart.
Given the current climate, we felt an obligation to place the track on our HomeBase Radio Spotify playlist, Hip Hop Heads Def On Repeat. It’s definitely worth listening to on repeat a few times to make sure you heard just what the f*** K. Dot said:
What is ironic is that Kendrick still also somehow managed to subtly diss Drake, by mentioning his song, “Taylor Made”, in an unfavorable way, as if it was not okay for Snoop Dogg to post it. This was a stark reminder to all that there are still some residual feelings from the Drake/Kendrick beef, and that it will probably not end anytime soon.
But I will also speak an unpopular opinion here, and also say that to call out Snoop Dogg like that was also a diss to him too, because he assumed that Snoop cannot think in his right mind outside of eating edibles. Why did Snoop have to be eating edibles in order to post anything in favor of Drake? If he liked the track, why can he not just like the track?
Snoop Dogg is the “Doggfather”, he is a mega legend and a pioneer for the entire hip hop community in the state of California. He can post whatever he pleases. It is possible to be a fan of both Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which Snoop demonstrated. Sometimes, as the younger artist, it is important to be the mature one and recognize these things, because it also impacts the generation of artists coming up in the industry that look up to you. If you feel that once you “make it”, that it automatically entitles you to call out and diss the artists you grew up listening to, who inspired you, just from them thinking differently than you do, then it defeats the whole purpose of ever being inspired. If that makes sense… I think maybe that went way over some heads.
Almost all of the legends are beefing in some way, and to me, Hip Hop is NOT okay.
Sorry K. Dot, if you ever read this. I had to show you some tough love there, as a fan of both you and some of these legends that you’ve been calling out. Can’t you all just get along?? Daaanggg…
”wacced out” is currently #2 on iTunes, right after “squabble up”, which had been previewed in his hit single, “Not Like Us”.
I love the promo video for ‘GNX’, it has some super deep imagery in it that I will not go into here (and I mean DEEP DEEP…), but definitely would like you all to see it:
