In the ever-evolving saga of hip-hop rivalries, Kendrick Lamar has once again set the internet ablaze with the release of his latest diss track, "6:16 in LA." This fiery new addition to Lamar's arsenal is a direct shot at fellow rapper Drake, continuing a feud that has captivated fans and the music industry alike.
The track was released on May 3, 2024, just three days after Lamar dropped his previous diss track, "Euphoria," which also targeted Drake. "6:16 in LA" is a clear indication that Lamar is not backing down from the verbal sparring match with Drake, a feud that has been brewing for some time.
"Euphoria" was Lamar's response to Drake's diss tracks "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle," which were released in April 2024. These tracks were themselves responses to Lamar's verse on "Like That," a collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin, where Lamar took aim at Drake and J. Cole, calling into question their authenticity and place in the hip-hop hierarchy.
In "6:16 in LA," Lamar continues his unapologetic assault on Drake, taking aim at everything from Drake's music catalog to his personal life. The title, "6:16 in LA," plays off Drake's penchant for naming tracks after specific times and places, such as "8AM in Toronto" and "5AM in Toronto."
The track has already sparked a massive response on social media, with fans and critics alike dissecting every line. Some have praised Lamar for his audacity and lyrical prowess, while others have criticized the ongoing feud as unnecessary drama.
The feud between Lamar and Drake is not new. It can be traced back to Big Sean's 2013 song "Control," where Lamar called out Drake among other peers, claiming he was the top person in the rap game. Since then, the two have engaged in a back-and-forth exchange of diss tracks and subtle jabs, with each new release adding fuel to the fire.
As the feud continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Drake will respond to Lamar's latest diss. But one thing is certain: the hip-hop world will be watching and waiting for the next move in this high-stakes game of lyrical warfare.
