Did we miss some things said and/or shown in the music videos and/or songs released by K-Dot during the great "beef" of 2024? First I would like to mention this lyric below: Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, Dot, fuck 'em up Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, I'ma do my stuff So, the website Genius has an explanation for it that I don't entirely agree with. If you want to see what it is, check out their website. I could be reaching here with what I think this is but when I originally heard this I told my guy right out, "Meg Thee Stallion". Why I say this? I truly think, in how it was worded and said, that Meg may have contacted Dot for all we know and told him literally "Fuck 'em up" or "Fuck that crew up" or whatever on some lyrical shit and Kendrick replied back he would. "Wop" is most likely " WAP ", which is the title of the song Meg Thee Stallion and Cardi B created, which was a huge hit in 2020. Meg did release a song called "Hiss" dissing Drake at the top of 2024 (I don't like genderizing, but she was the only woman to confront him) and I wouldn't be surprised that Kendrick and Meg had a conversation about Drake and Kendrick paid homage to and/or mentioned Megan in arguably one of the greatest diss tracks of all time. (Any of K-Dot's songs during the battle is up for debate, hence why I said arguably). Kendrick even shined a light on Rihanna with the lyrics " Man Down , call an amberlamps, tell him, "Breathe bro"". "Man Down" is a song from Rihanna's "Loud" album, which, to me, is one of her best songs ever. (I'm Caribbean American and love reggae and I think Rihanna did an amazing job on that song). Anyways, Meg did a great job calling out Drake on "Hiss". Too bad Nicki thought that song was solely about her. Another reason/scenario could be that it's still " WAP ", still paying homage to Meg but the conversation never happened. I mean, we know " WAP " mean "Wet Ass Pussy". However it can be a combination of "Wop" in the first line and "WAP" in the second line. That's just my take on it. Not Like Us music video: Tommy the Clown - Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free & pgLang Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free & pgLang I think it's obvious that one is supposed to see an owl or some kind of resemblance to a face when seeing this set up. I saw an owl. I haven't seen anyone mention this, though. At least not in the spaces I frequent. I did also notice (I could be reaching here as well) that this could also resemble Drake (eyebrows could be the horizontal slash in the speaker). I think this could have been Dot's play on a "Rorschach test" for the viewers. I also believe Tommy, Kendrick and the dancers are all in a shipping container, btw. Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free & pgLang Now here the above picture is interesting, and I saw no one commenting on this. Tommy the Clown presses play on the record player. However, there is no record there. What does this mean? I see no grooves of a record. The combination of photos have led me to believe that this set up is supposed to be Drake and the record player may be Drake's brain... that has no musical talent, or something to that effect in it. Tommy just presses a button and the player spins. Mind you, a clown is pressing a button on this record player in a room that resembles a shipping container or Conex box. If I'm right, this is truly a diabolical visual diss. I guess the lack of hair makes it even worse. Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free & pgLang Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free & pgLang Now this maybe a "schizo" sighting on my part but no one has said anything about it, and I noticed it the first time I watched the video. I told my guy, "Are those eyes?" He didn't see them at first. I had to pause the video a few times for him to see it. The more I did that, the more I was like "these look like owl eyes". Everything K-Dot does is intentional. I've watched this video so many times. This was in full view and not hidden. I tried looking up other shipping containers that may have this kind of logo and nothing showed up. It made me wonder if this is a stamp/logo that Drake allegedly has on his shipments so that other companies know what to pick up/ship. If you watch this part of the music video, which you can watch on YouTube, Kendrick doesn't hide this logo/whatever this thing is at all. I feel like there is something to this, but I may be wrong. There are also other numbers and identifiers on these containers people in the Kendrick reddit community (y'all know who you are😉) researched on this. I'll leave it at that and let y'all find that on your own. The Boogeyman ... Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free & pgLang I watched the video without sound a few times while researching for the blog and realized something while putting this together. What if this music video is created with K-Dot literally in Drake's head? Is this Drake's living nightmare and/or nightmare/Drake having a dream? Like Dot is supposed to be Drake's nightmare? (Which he is😁) Look at the beginning of the video. Kendrick shows up, adlibs similar to Friday the 13th btw, and is moving through a dimly lit hallway wearing white, flicking lighters (a signature to Lil' Wayne, which could signify some things, one of which I think is Lil Wayne was the one who put Drake "on" in the first place but Lil' Wayne shows up in Drake's "nightmare" in the form of Kendrick Lamar. In the beginning of the video, we all know it is Dot but he's indiscernible initially) while the lights are also flickering on and off. It almost seems like Kendrick shows up as a Boogeyman... and a God. The opening alone seems to have layers. You then see the next scenes which are the photos above with Tommy the Clown. Dot did say "I see dead people" on the track and in the video. When Dot says this... is he saying this as Drake or as himself? Or both? I say this because Drake has been allegedly accused of XXXTentacion's and possibly other's demise. Drake may be haunted. I can see this meaning more, of course, the obvious being Dot obliterating Drake in this rap battle. Tommy the Clown's next line is "You're late..."which can mean many things: You're late - You should've been axed out a long time ago, allegedly, for the demise of important figure(s) in music and our culture You're late - You should've been called out for your fake gangsta ass a long time ago and many people should have appropriately checked you for that and those people are just as questionable You're late - You should've been called out for every fucking lie you've been caught in and there's been many... You're late - G.O.A.T.? Really? Not when you have ghostwriters, which have been made painfully obvious after the battle. (Even before the battle, let's be forreal. J Cole can hold you up only so much) You're late - Let's add to the last one: Using a phone in a freestyle at Hot97 in 2009 and stupid ass Funk Master Flex allowed that shit? I'm from BKLYN. No respect for that. Not-a-one. You're late - You should've been kicked down uneven, jagged steps many times for disrespecting women, especially of color and artists with solid families because you're a broken, unhappy man-child. You're late - Allegedly stealing your own artists music as well as independent artists on Soundcloud, etc. Pathetic. You're late - Consistently being a bully on social network platforms and in music and then love playing victim You're late - There is probably more. However, for those who may have been victims, allegedly. Lastly, for the little ones who have yet to know about a DNA test and learn of their lineage. Fill in the blanks. Lastly, "You're late" - For the rap battle (which was the most obvious), via Drake's perspective. It may not mean any of this, but this is my interpretation. Drake should’ve been gone a long time ago and should've never been as big as he was before the beef. Before social media, he would have been called out. I would delve into my thoughts of Drake in another blog, probably. Tommy the Clown - Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free & pgLang I digress. I'm still figuring out why Tommy the Clown looked shocked after Kendrick said what he said at the door and why he stepped away from the record player with his hands up a little later in the video. Is the camera supposed to symbolize Drake's eyes on everything? Or Kendrick's? Or is Kendrick and the amazing dancers facing Tommy and the record player set up? I must add that when Kendrick flips the bird the next shot is the one above. The latter question makes more sense. 12 people facing Tommy the Clown, operating a simple digital record player with no record that looks like an owl or a person (whatever you may interpret it) is interesting. Does 12 people represent a potential "jury"? Possibly. Very cheeky of Dot, btw, if that is the case. Drake's on trial, figuratively and literally. Dave Free and Kenny - Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free, and PgLang I won't go into much detail here because this is one of the quickest edits/shots of the entire video and is one of the most controversial. I will say this: Dot and Free is clearly doing a familiar "handshake" that OVO does. Now, what led up to this rapid-fire series of edits is Dave, who is seen on a cell phone with a jacket over his forearm and a young lady next to him (who resembles one of the dancers). "Business" is being conducted, shall we say, with a deal being closed with Dot, wearing a suit, is now on the phone. I'm assuming the "handshake" is really, allegedly, some OVO "mafia" type shit that Drake may think he originated. When I see the OVO handshake or the "OK" sign, it makes me think of white supremist’. (I will come back to this in a later blog) The Family - Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free, and PgLang When the family appears, the way the camera changes is interesting. It looks as if someone is watching them. My thoughts on this are I think this is supposed to be Drake watching Dot with his family enjoying themselves, living their life... and subsequently celebrating and dancing over his "grave". Drake supposedly thinks he knows K-Dot and his life when he doesn't at all. Super dope for Whitney to get her lick back, though. But, let's face it, Drake comes off like he wants to know more about Dot's life. A bit "Peep Freakish" if you think about it... If you understand what I said above, you would understand this scene . Credit: House Party/New Line Cinema - 1990 The G.O.A.T. - Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free, PgLang Near the end of the video Kendrick is seen with 3 clear reflections of himself. I liken it to him seeing himself (and he said it on the song, "Like That") as the number 1 MC in the rap game thus far, the G.O.A.T...and "Big Me". No more Cole or Drake on that list. One Last Thing The arm of one of the dancers - Credit: Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free, PgLang "Girls Don't Cry". Just like some things I pointed out I haven't seen yet mentioned, this is also one of them. I'm going to be careful with this one. I remember listening to a “live” of a content creator and one of the members commented about the tattoos saying some were fake and the rest were real. I never forgot that. So, I fixated on the "Girls Don't Cry" one (I won't touch the '444' one) because I know I saw the design before. (I have no idea if the tattoos are fake, btw) The design. Now... fast forward a few months later I decided to finally research this and this may be the most well-hidden piece so far. When you search for this phrase, you will see t-shirts with this phrase printed on them with this exact design. Verdy, a Japanese designer, is the owner/creator. He isn't the point of this but once you click on the link (which is very obvious, as you will see girlsdon'tcry.shop link) you will see a word that stands out as it stood out for me which was Harajuku. This made me think immediately of "Tanea", a lady who, allegedly, was invited to one of Diddy's "parties" and stated she saw younger females dressed as Harajuku girls on a program (I don't need to explain in detail what I mean by "younger females". Watch the interview on YouTube) who was interviewed on a YouTube program called "Soft White Underbelly", which the interviewer speaks to different people with different and relatable issues and problems, ranging from mental, abuse, drug abuse, etc. The initial interview with Tanea was in 2022. The next one that mentioned the Harajuku girls was in October 2024. I feel only a few people would know what that tattoo REALLY meant, and Dot made sure this was in full view. This message was loud and clear, and Dot may know some things about Drake. Some may wonder what does this have to do with the Boy? Well, since Drake had partied and had been at Diddy parties (assumedly, as well as Dennis Graham), allegedly, he could have known and been in the presence of young people who shouldn't have been there in the first place. With that being said... Final Thoughts Diddy's trial starts on 5/5/2025. There will be A LOT of revelations, and it won't be pretty. Drake must know this. I also think this is why of all the songs released in the beef, NLU needs to go, according to the Boy. In fact, if Drake gets his way, all of those songs he would make sure they are banished because they reveal way more than some of us even realize, allegedly (and some of us have already) and he's stressed and stressing over it. Oh well. Don't be a bully and there won’t be any problems. Some of these findings may be something or maybe nothing. They were on my mind, and they feel like they fit somewhere in the jigsaw puzzle that is this "beef". The real ones must know by now it is bigger than a rap beef. If you know, you know. I'll leave at that. "Not Like Us" music video is one of the greatest music videos created for a rap battle, layered and, not only catered only to the Boy but for our people, who continue to forget who they are and prioritize money, attention and status over education, mental health and strength, empathy and culture. BTW, I changed my mind. The camera, to me, is supposed to be Drake watching Kendrick's every move. Makes sense. Comment, share, and/or subscribe and thanks for reading.

J. Cole in "ATM"

Lisa Todd Wexley - Probably one of the few outfits that dope. Lisa Todd Wexley . I feel like there's a lot of misunderstanding with her life. Personally, I don't see the point of her character being there if she's not there to be a part of the main cast. I think it's lame that she's not a part of them as much, I'll go into that in a second. The boob - I mean - Herbert Wexley... The 3RD SON CALLED A HUSBAND... Let’s talk about the husband. I think his name is Marion or some bullshit like that. I don't like him . I don't like him at all. I feel like he's one of those guys that unfortunately, how can I put this nicely? His name is Herbert. That's his name. I feel like he's one of those dudes that he became so complacent in the relationship, meaning like he’s just so happy with what he receives from her. She’s always there, taking care of everything. This man has a mother, if I remember right and I'm thinking to myself, bro, she's not mommy number 2. This is ridiculous. But I also must blame it on LTW, too. She's partly the blame on what she's kinda given out. That's a lot of us women. We give so much to our relationships that we forget about us. We forget our wants and needs in relationships and Herbert is no exception. Herbert sucks . A team... I guess... - Credit: ...And Just Like That/HBO There are times, though, where he shows up for her. For example, when LTW's assistant editor or editor was offered - I think Alexander McQueen or something like that, or Steve McQueen - a position and she took it and she had every right to. She waited 8 years or something like that for Lisa to get all her stuff correct with her kids and be there to raise them, right? New mommy business. But it was time for her to do what she wanted to do. Honestly, I felt like they just wanted to write her out because they had a new interesting story to give Lisa, which I'll get into that. So, the husband, I mean, obviously Lisa was upset, but the husband, once he found out what was irking her, kind of had to “talk” her off the ledge. Okay. I mean, so there are times where he does show up for her, but I feel like he, as a grown ass man, he has not shown himself to be an adult in their relationship enough for me or at least making sure that the kids were independent. Now her kids - their kids – seem very bright, very intelligent, well-rounded children. But my problem with it is, like, I think it's one of the episodes where her daughter was like, “ You're never here anymore! ” Lisa didn't get these specific waters or whatever that she wanted. And I'm like, “Get the fuck out of here with this shit!!!!” They're in New York. They live probably in the Upper East Side. They're old enough. That's another thing. These kids are way old enough to go to and from school and go into any store, any Whole Fuckin’ Foods or any Artisan type markets that they have up there. Gristede's, which is a staple in New York - I don't even know if it's still around, but these kinds of stores exist. They don't need their mommy to get them. I think it's fucked up that Herbert isn't also - and Lisa as well - that they're not allowing these kids to have some sort of independence or teaching them independence. I think that's lame. I don’t like that at all. She's part of whatever PTA that they have at the school. Then on top of that, now she must come back and take care of Herbert and children. 2 out of the 3 Wexley children - Credit: ...And Just Like That/HBO Listen, I at times used to have to take my ass to and from school from New Lots all the way to Bed-Stuy, BKLYN. No school bus picking me up. I had to take the B10 at the time and go to school and come back home at times by myself because my so-called brother that is five years older than me was not responsible enough. Mind you, he was 11. But our “hag of a mother” worked in the city - in Manhattan. So, we had to do shit for ourselves and go back and forth to school. There were no nannies. There were no adult figures looking after us (unless you count the neighborhood adults who kept a “watch” on you…dealers, maybe some neighbors, etc. That’s the ‘hood, for ya). We had to deal with shit ourselves. So, these kids who are basically teens at this point or preteens in Manhattan could go to a store that's probably around the corner. I think it's bullshit and it kind of tells me the type of people who were writing this part of the show. It's disgusting, but I'll move on. NANNIES? Why don't they have nannies, right? Would it make sense if they had nannies? But on the other hand, I could understand Lisa not wanting to have nannies. The same goes for Charlotte. They don't want to have nannies raising their kids and I totally get it. I think a great example I'm going to give is an episode on the show “ATLanta” called “Trini to the Bone”. It's absolutely the most perfect episode to watch to understand why I can understand why LTW and Charlotte didn't hire any nannies. As an example for myself, my “hag of a mother”, (and just a warning, that's what I call my mother. My mother and I do not talk. If I say hag or hag of a mother, I'm talking about my biological mother), worked in Manhattan. She was a nanny and a housekeeper. She's still a nanny. So, I think that, for some parents - and I'm talking about the parents that have money that are hiring these nannies and whatnot - they're not there for the kids as much. I mean, enough that they pretty much call their nannies their mom or their second mom. That's what they do. I grew up watching this in real time, having gone to Manhattan, having been around these kids, played with these kids, and “hag” has been in their life and been more supportive to these kids than she ever had been to me. For most children, that's very devastating. I got used to it. One, I didn't like her around. For some kids, it's extremely devastating. Especially the community I grew up in, Brownsville. There are kids whose parent(s) were working all the time. A lot of us had to fend for ourselves. But in this case with Lisa and Charlotte, I can see them probably meeting a lot of these nannies or these families and (and this is me just writing in a plot here for the show because they're so terrible at it) they've met parents who barely even know their kids. Which is sort of the case with me because both my parents don't know me as well as they think they know me. But I can see them wanting to be there from start, to as close to finish as possible with raising their children because they don't want to be accused of being “those” kinds of parents in the city, specifically Manhattan, because it used to be a thing. It used to be a thing amongst a lot of the nanny community. It's dark. It's not pretty. Always busy... - Credit: ...And Just Like That/HBO Some parents say they miss their kids or they don't have time for them as much, because they're working 12 hours a day taking care of other people's children. They’re getting their meals at 5 o'clock, 4:30 at times. They're getting their play dates; they're getting this or that in a timely fashion due to having their nannies (meanwhile, the nannies’ kids at home have fun by themselves or with siblings) There are communities of women - a very high Caribbean population of nannies and housekeepers that would come together and have play dates. My whole point is just to say that it's not easy. I can imagine it's not easy for LTW or Charlotte, especially if they want to be there in their kids' lives the entire time. They don't want to miss anything. So, I commend them for it and for wanting to be there. Maybe having a part-time nanny would be cool, but since their kids are older it's kind of a moot point at this point. Maybe having a housekeeper, that will run those errands and do those little things they’re too scared to have their children complete. But personally, I feel like all their kids are old enough to do for themselves, to go shopping, etc. They need to be prepared to be adults, especially since they're talking to them hella crazy, talking to them a certain fuckin’ way. These kids are out of their fuckin’ mind! So that’s my thought on that. Moreover, this is New York. You should want to be independent. There’s a different air about New York as a teen. I used to hang out in the West and East Village. My high school was in Manhattan. There's something about that independence that's beautiful and it's weird that these kids are super attached for New York City kids. Very odd. I don't know. I don't get it. It's whatever. That's the story they want to go with. Cool. The Mentary that was Docked. Permanently. I want to move on to that documentary that LTW is working on. From the YouTube videos I watched, I do crack up on it because a lot of people are like, they don't care for it. I agree . I don't care. It's not even going anywhere. If this whole thing was going somewhere for real and was a bit authentic, it would make sense. For example, remember in “ Sex and the City ”, Miranda wanted to become partner, right? If you noticed in every season, you knew that Miranda was working on being a partner and it was cool, there was growth, emerging. Then what happens? She becomes partner at the law firm only for Steve to dump her for being “out of her league”. So, I think that is something that they're lacking in the show. We don't even see anything cool about the documentary. We don't see any kind of like, oh, she's playing some of it. We're just seeing these weird stills and maybe some movement. Oh, my God!!! I hate it. I hate it. I don't blame people for being irritated with it. I just wish they would do something where we can feel there is something they understand as the writers that, she's doing something for African Americans and unsung and hero sheroes, but they're not doing that. You know why I feel like they're not doing that? Because they don't even fuckin’ know what the hell that woman's doing. They're just putting it out there as a filler. Let her do something that's very black. I think that’s so nasty and such a throwaway. I think that's lame as fuck. I don't care for them. You know, if that's the case, scrap the whole fuckin’ thing. It's stupid. I get it. It’s been 8 years since she's been working on this, but it's bullshit. So, I totally agree with people being annoyed by this whole storyline with the documentary. Marion... the new editor. Now suddenly, she might cheat (she doesn’t). I don't know what the fuck they're doing. I must go into why it's such a disservice for black women on the show. Like you're not even trying to delve in deeper into black history, American, black, black American history, African American history, where it would not come off pretentious and a throwaway, but like you're really trying to be inclusive when it comes to her. You’re not doing shit. So, I don't know. It pisses me off with them. Her outfits are horrible. Not all of them. Actually I will say it's more the accessories and sometimes the wig. (My YouTube video doesn't have this recent edit) I don't know if it's done on purpose. I don't know if it's intentional, to be covered up (part of her character) or some shit. Beautiful without it - Credit: ...And Just Like That/HBO Here's what I feel when it comes to her outfits and certain things. Number one, notice that she's not really around the other women, the other four girls around Seema. She's not around Miranda. She's not around Charlotte. I don't even know how she even said 5 words to others or five sentences to Sarah Jessica Parker. I mean, I'm sorry, Carrie. This is my thought on it. If it's not a storyline thing about her clothes, I think it's done on purpose. I feel like Lisa Todd Wexler or Wexley - whatever her friggin’ last name is - I think this is the Samantha effect. She is the woman who is Samantha. What do I mean? I think low key Sarah Jessica Parker is jealous of her. Yes, I am saying that. Nicole Ari Parker (another Parker, huh?), I feel like she is jealous of that woman because she's damn near the same age as her and looks fabulous. She is beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Samantha, beautiful. Statuesque, blonde. All of that. I feel like she's getting treated the same way. Now, if you notice in every goddamn episode, damn near, everybody must compliment Carrie. I personally think Carrie and Sarah Jessica Parker are the same people. They're both narcissists. She is a narcissist. I'm putting it out there. She’s a fucking narcissist . HARD G . I think that's one of the biggest reasons why Kim won't fuck with her. She recognized she's a narcissist and some people don’t recognize narcissists outright. Great example of how SJP is dressed and the frumpy looking dress LTW is wearing. SJP was not about to let anyone outshine her. Gross - Credit: ...And Just Like That/HBO But I digress because that is coming up on another blog. I feel like that's how Nicole Ari is being treated. She is being treated like Kim. She needs to be the most beautiful mutherfucker and I'm not saying Seema is ugly. She is not ugly. She's beautiful to me. But she's older and she looks older. Sarah Jessica Parker needs to be around people that she feels like she looks better than and let's be real. She doesn’t look better than friggin’ Charlotte, that's for sure. But Charlotte got some work done. She looks a little different but she's still beautiful. I also think that Charlotte is around or Kristen Davis is around because no offense, probably kisses her ass a little bit. You can have a seat at the table. But the fact that we're not seeing LTW around tells me she's purposely doing that. She is an executive producer. She has a lot of say in there. Not saying that Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis don't have pull, but there's no reason for them to want to exclude her. I feel like it's very, very, very much SJP who is responsible for this. That's what I think. So, you guys let me know what you think about that one for sure. Credit: ...And Just Like That/HBO Another thing is, I feel like LTW is sort of the new “Miranda”. Hear me out on this. Okay, so the reason why I feel like she's the new “Miranda” it's how many times she shows up for everybody. Now, I'm not saying that Charlotte doesn't. Charlotte has always been there, for the most part, for her friends. But I feel like the difference is that Miranda rarely gets a thank you for it. And again, not saying that Charlotte didn't either at times, but Miranda REALLY doesn't. We've seen what the fuck this woman has gone through, even in the movie, the first movie. But she is another very busy woman, has a career, has her children and what is she doing? She's helping Anthony. She's helping all these people all the time. She's always there. She's always fuckin’ there. She can't even have a seat at the damn table at the end of episode 9. The fuck is that?! That's some Bullshit!!! I think it's lame. And I feel like, yeah, she's the black Miranda. I'll even go as far as say she's the black Miranda-Charlotte. I think that's whack. Like she's supposed to be everybody's servant or something. Like the snap of their fingers and it's like, you could come run and take care of this, then see your way out. Hell, her own husband treats her sort of the same way. That money must be really good for her to want to deal with that or to have her storyline be so ass. Marion and LTW... tsk...tsk... plop - Credit: ...And Just Like That/HBO So, the last thing I want to talk about really in the end of it all is her crush on this new editor. I think his name is Marion and why that's even happening. It’s a bit simple. So obviously, they need to write something for her. Let's be real, right? If we get to the bare bones of it, they need to write something with fireworks when it comes to Lisa, if you want to call this “fireworks”, it's the same old fuckin’ story, right? It'd be funny, though, to find out that he was gay or some craziness. Not if they wrote it that way. Who knows? But yeah, I mean, I think he had a wife or something like that. But I think the reason why this is happening, and it's simple, is basically Groundhog's Day for Lisa. Every single day. I know how that feels. No one needs to live like that for someone who has all this money and can do anything she wants and live anywhere she wants. But no, her man wants to be a Comptroller. But, for LTW to just go on vacations and just… “be” for a while. Every single day she has the same life, same routine. That is very, very, very depressing. It's a hard life to live. I know this because that's my life now. I see that with her. So, this shiny brand-new guy, different, probably smells different. He looks different from her husband. I think for her she’s attracted to the “new” and that's why she's responding that way because she's always dealing with her home. She's dealing with her family. It's all the fuckin’ time. That's a lot for anybody. Now, I'm hoping she doesn't do anything stupid or crazy (She doesn’t). That’s so far what I think of the whole dynamic with Lisa and her family and friends. I think it's cool that her and Charlotte have a great friendship. I just feel like she should be included within that circle. Personally, they need to kick Carrie out the fuckin’ group because she's a cunt. My rant on Carrie is going to be later. It's right there in my chest. I have so much to say about that woman. It's refreshing to see other people saying similar things that I have with my thought process with her, but mine runs a little bit deeper. Just A tad bit. Who knows? That's what you guys can discern.

What is all of this? Random and not so random thoughts that come through my mind that need to go somewhere and here is the place I may put it...sometimes. As I go through this very complicated, oftentimes exhausting but exhilarating path in life I will put down my thoughts here, share my music and musical opinions, opinions in general and probably some traveling adventures I might share...and it's totally cool and up to you if you want to come along this unpredictable journey with me. To add to this, I want people to read just a little more again if they aren't already. Yes, I could be on YouTube or add video or audio to my content, and I have thought about it. Strip down approach is best where people can unwind and chill or whatever and just read. There will be times when I may incorporate my voice here and there but that’s when I feel it’s warranted. I can fuck around turn this into my own “YouTube” spot. You never know. I highly doubt it, though. I'm socially awkward with cognitive issues and I truly have to think before I rush and speak because my brain has too much going on and there are times when I start speaking I will just either freeze or it would be a jumbled mess. I lose my train of thought a lot. So if there are others like me out there who struggle with the same issues and may or may not work on it, and are in your 40's, younger or older - I understand how you feel. With that said please enjoy the content and thank you so much for the support. I truly, truly appreciate it.

If you need assistance I suggest clicking on the link below. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/find-help “ Meet The Grahams ” is a direct hit between the eyes and heart. Drake would never admit the potency of this song hence why he has such hyper focus on “ Not Like Us ”, saying K-Dot called him a pedophile when he didn’t. Any person with decent 6th to 8th grade reading comprehension would know Kendrick didn’t outright call Drake a pedophile. I digress. A topic for another day. We witnessed someone, people consider a megastar – and Drake is – was, in terms of numbers and, I guess if you are a delusional Drake fan - lyrically via hip-hop, be broken down to the knees mentally with his heart beating faster, palpitating more when he found out the song dropped and when he finished listening to it. I wouldn’t be surprised he sat in silence for a while with some of his team flanked around him in shock with a slew of questions and statements flooding his mind initially (because he’s self-centered) like, “What the fuck?!”, “I just dropped Family Matters! I nuked this mutherfucker, how did he know when to drop?”, “Where the fuck is my drink?”, “How does he know about *radio edit*?” “HOW DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THE *radio edit*” “THIS IS MY WIN!!! HE JUST RUINED THE ONLY SONG I HAD LEFT!!!!” and I bet there was more, but I don’t think the mention of his family bothered him as much he wants people to think it did. Okay, so probably his mother a little bit. Drake, who continuously went after different artists’ families in his songs, finally received his comeuppance in the form of a pure dissection from the one, Kendrick Lamar. So, I would like to dig into the lyrics that stood out a bit to me: "I'm sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest It takes a man to be a man, your dad is not responsive " The first lines of the song were cutting. In fact, “ Dear Adonis ” alone was bad enough. However, telling Adonis that his father isn’t a man, not even responding as one is rough. From what people have been seeing from Drake/Aubrey for a while… this seems to be true. Even from the start of the beef until now, 2025 of January we are still seeing a man-child at play. Adonis’ generation will watch and see everything that has happened even before now and sadly Adonis is probably living his life dealing with it… and with a man who can’t even grow up enough to leave a rap beef alone. Who knows what he sees and hears and what’s normalized around him. Aside from that, very scathing lyrics that are so simply worded and said as if speaking gently to a child sitting next to him at a public park…with the evidence of the Boy’s misdeeds everywhere. "Don't cut them corners like your daddy did , fuck what Ozempic did " I always thought this was an interesting lyric and not for the obvious Ozempic line. I thought it was interesting that K-Dot said “did” twice. I told my guy it was weird for Dot to say that twice and it came off like lazy writing when we both knew Dot is not that dude. After a while it came to me what I think Dot was alluding to and this is what I think it is. I think Kendrick is saying Drake suffers from D.I.D… D.I.D. is Dissociative Identity Disorder. It’s a mental health condition in which a person has multiple personalities. Some of the symptoms are connected to your emotions, mood shifting, memory gaps, flashbacks, having more than one person in your head, etc. So, when Dot says to Adonis “Don’t cut those corners like your daddy did” it’s so ruthless because what did Drake do? He utilized a whole other persona, becoming someone from the Caribbean (Jamaican, usually) to appeal to certain demographics, speaking patois and singing Dancehall music, even installing some of this in his pop and hip-hop tracks, by the way, and have made millions from this. To add to this, he has no respect for black people even though he is one and none for Caribbean folks (has that man ever spent more than 3 months in Africa in his entire lifetime yet? Like in Benin/Togo or Ivory Coast or Ghana , South Africa , Angola , Chad or Zimbabwe, etc and not friggin’ Egypt or the islands that border Africa?) He has also become Latin and English Drake (London/Brixton Drake is more like it) and has made millions being those personas as well. Another persona Drake likes to be is Gangsta’ Drake. This seems to be his favorite persona. All the flexing he seems to do on songs and, allegedly, in real life and what may seem to get him in trouble. He emphasized “Mob Ties” in his songs a great deal when Aubrey was never this person. In fact, Aubrey isn’t this person at all. One must wonder if Aubrey even knows who he is and if he even likes himself and that’s why he co-opts these personalities. When he is around Caucasians, he speaks like Aubrey from Canada, like “himself”. So, in essence, Kendrick is basically saying Drake can’t be himself and sell records. I know D.I.D. is very serious and should be taken seriously and no, I didn’t put a full-on definition of everything that’s under its umbrella. I think Kendrick was generalizing with this. " Ozempic got a side effect of jealousy and doctor never told y'all niggas " (Drake Lyrics on Family Matters) Another thing that was telling was Drake pointing out Rick Ross’ supposed use of Ozempic and the side effects of jealousy. Kendrick reverses this sad retort on Ross in such a clever way with using the D.I.D. angle because, well, how would Drake know this? We all clearly saw when MTG single was released that Drake is prescribed this medication. Also, it is well known that the medication does have severe side effects that cause anxiety, suicidal thoughts, depression, mood swings and so on. Dot showed not only how much of hypocrite Drake is for saying someone is using a medication (he may or may not know Rick Ross is using) that he is using but he himself always has mood swings, his continuous “Woe is Me” songs all because he’s always the victim but he is also a very jealous person himself (um… there is so much proof of this… jealous of Serena and Alexis, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s relationship, or anyone with solid families, etc.) and, yeah we can go on and on with this subject and, again, this will happen on another day. "Don't be ashamed 'bout who you wit', that's how he treat your moms Don't have a kid to hide a kid to hide again, be sure" K-Dot’s continuing to teach Adonis how to be a responsible human being even if they are in an industry that would otherwise be frowned upon and he’s also letting him know his father is ashamed of his mother. I found it interesting that Dot ensures Adonis understands this as well as understand that he was hidden from the world, allegedly like the potential siblings he may have and if he, Adonis, finds himself with women who may be pregnant and say they have his children, he should make sure to get a paternity test and if they’re his children, handle his responsibilities like a man. I can imagine Drake being pissed at this but I’m sure his eyes widened… for obvious reasons… assumedly. "Dear Dennis, you gave birth to a master manipulator " Sheesh! This line is just raw. It doesn’t say Sandra gave birth to Aubrey but Dennis. He assumedly created the character that is Drake, and he doesn’t say his name here, but instead describes both Aubrey/Drake and Dennis at the same time, which in the next few lines of the song, Dot explains why Drake should be paying Dennis, the person that “birthed” him, more for using him. "Or better yet sellin' your niece, to the weirdos, not the good ones " This lyric nagged me. I looked up songs pertaining to Drake called “Good Ones” and found a similar named track with The Weeknd and Drake. I think Dot saying “Not the good ones” was a slick way of backing The Weeknd, considering Drake had shit to say to him as well during the beef. Also, The Weeknd is a huge part as to why the album “Take Care” from Drake was a huge success. Lyrics for this song is also a bit… interesting but judge for yourself. I also searched “weirdos Drake” on Google and the song “Another Late Night” by Drake pops up with lyrics. I also think those lyrics deserve a good read as well… Clearing my throat and continuing. " They lookin' at you too if you standin' by him " I think the Feds are, purportedly, watching. This is also why Drake, allegedly, doesn’t want to touch this song at all or even “ 6:16 in LA ”, which is full of things only Drake and certain individuals would know (Akademics reaction on his live stream comes to mind, btw), so he doesn’t want to touch the landmines he considers these songs. Which is odd because if you are innocent there wouldn’t be a lawsuit and none of this would be an issue, and a loss would be a loss. Anyways, people who supposedly continue to stay around Drake, Feds will wonder and will delve into their personal and business affairs. Just how they work. "His father prolly didn't claim him neither" I thought this was a great line because Kendrick makes it known that he doesn’t KNOW everything. When speaking to “baby girl”, he lets her know that there was a likelihood that Dennis wasn’t claiming Aubrey as his son and this could be one of the many reasons, allegedly, why he doesn’t claim the many children, including “baby girl” in his life. K-Dot also makes another cultural reference here with “prolly”, since it is a variant of “probably” and it’s a Southern word. I saw Texas on one website – very African American. Also makes me wonder if this is a clue. Could, allegedly, the mother of the child might be from the south? (shifts eyes, coughs, looks at map of Florida 👀) "And a fuckin' deadbeat that should never say, " More Life "" Kendrick is ruthless here. It was more than the album name mentioned. It’s the meaning of “More Life” and why Drake names the album that. “More Life” is a Jamaican phrase to wish someone well. This was also made popular by Vybz Kartel, who’s a dancehall artist Drake is fond of. So, Dot is not only saying Drake shouldn’t fix his lips to say such words because, let’s face it, the literally words of “More Life” when Drake, allegedly, seem to bring young ones into the world and don’t claim them, in the slang terms cares for only self so who in the fuck is he wishing well? Lastly, the “culture vulture” part of it, which is synonymous with Drake character to this point, him once again unable to be himself and acting like a vampire by sucking musical resources from Jamaicans. "I know you probably thinkin' I wanted to crash your party" Di-a-bolical . Drake had to have been not only beyond furious at this bar, but his shoulders slumped. If any of his opps and/or “friends” were there, he had to have been looking at everyone suspiciously. It also makes me wonder something: Did Drake have an actual small celebration thinking he won the beef over Kendrick? That would be hilarious if there was a celebratory party after “Family Matters” dropped. Kendrick leaving “Haubrey” last on the song to rain on what he thought was his victory parade (so presumptuous of him, btw) was very clever and a mind fuck. There is no way this lyric didn’t heighten Drake’s paranoia and his fury. One would think Kenny was standing outside Drake’s window watching Drake’s every move, but we know that’s not what happened. Kendrick was like the proverbial superhero that came in and ruined the bad guy's sinister plans... right on time. "But truthfully, I don't have a hatin' bone in my body" I want to quickly speak on this line because I saw a lot of reactors on YouTube smirk and/or react to this in a way that called bullshit on Kendrick. I think this line is misunderstood. Kendrick says in the beginning to Aubrey, “you probably thinking I wanted to crash your party “and afterwards said “But you fucked up the moment you called out my family's name”. Dot is letting Aubrey know he wasn’t a person who carried hate… until Drake decided to go the route he went even after being warned twice not to go there. I also think there is more to this line which circles back to what I have mentioned in my “Family Ties” post. It’s more than Drake merely mentioning Dot’s family in a rap beef. "just disrespectin' your mother…" I’m only pointing out this lyric because a tiny part of me has wondered what began Drake and Dot’s falling out. Before this song dropped, I told my guy that Drake comes off like the kind of dude that is demanding and rude to his mother and takes her for granted. Dot could have seen and/or heard interactions Drake had with his mother thus beginning the proverbial “side eye” of disapproval from K-Dot. From the outside looking in, Sandra was the constant in Aubrey’s life, the person who was there physically and quite possibly indulged him a bit too much. Aubrey comes off certainly spoiled and entitled. However, for all I know, this lyric is probably a lot more layered than I think. "Take that mask off…" Sounds familiar? If you listen to Tyler, the Creator, you will understand. Not much of a scavenger hunt but, find the song pertaining to Tyler and listen to it after listening to “Meet the Grahams”. No further explanation required here on this. "you lied about your daughter, huh …" The recent album from Dot, “ GNX ”, brought me back to this line. On the song “ Reincarnated ”, one of the most profoundly heart wrenching songs that has Kendrick embodying 2Pac’s cadence for much of the song (and it was also a perfectly timed “clap back” to Drake’s putrid “Taylor Made Freestyle", where Drake uses AI technology to embody 2Pac and Snoop Dogg to diss K-Dot) Dot says “My instincts sent material straight to the charts, huh”, which I’m equating the “Huh’s” at the ends of these particular statement-Esque bars as if he was dared or that he knows a secret or lie that the other person(s) he may be addressing would know. For the Reincarnated lyrics I posted here it was as if people doubted Kendrick’s ability to stay true to his aesthetic, himself, with the lyrics he created and chart on music lists and he proved those individuals very wrong by trusting himself and his art. So, when he states that Aubrey lied about his daughter and adds “Huh”, Kendrick is letting Aubrey know that HE KNOWS and that he’s lying about her and has been doing so. Who knows how long Dot knew about this. I get the sense that many people in the industry purportedly do. I don’t think all “Huh’s” in Kendrick’s songs are created equal, though. Final Thoughts... I do find it ironic Uma Thurman sending Drake that pic of Beatrix solely up against the Crazy 88 in the movie, “ Kill Bill ”, like he was being bullied. However, Kendrick spoke to Adonis the way Beatrix Kiddo did Vernita Green’s daughter, Nikki Bell, after *SPOILER ALERT* ……………Beatrix killed Vernita and Nikki walked in the kitchen afterwards. Beatrix had a short but real “heart to heart” with her amongst the carnage…and her mother’s body. Go figure. This song is perfect, which is what I think about all the songs released from Kendrick in this beef. Drake may never take a therapist and/or therapy seriously, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he listens to quick snippets of this song on some days because he purely can’t help himself. I’m leaving that statement very open ended, but I do hope you all understand what I mean, especially if, by now, you have some understanding of Aubrey’s character. So, I said Kendrick broke him down to his knees. Not Like Us took the rest of Drake’s legs and feet… and then his soul . Comment, share, and/or subscribe and thanks for reading.

" GNX ", Kendrick's sixth studio album, is simply incredible and the song " Hey Now " is a definite standout, even if some people don't agree, which is fine. Art is art, subject to your likes and interpretation, unless someone has the talent to express in words how to convince you to see/hear their vision of song(s) and/or albums and get paid for it… or not. Not much for this song for me to say but there are some things I noticed: [Intro] Damn, baby I like it Damn Hm I kept wondering why Kendrick said this and was sounding all sexydexy. I could be wrong (just like in the other posts I posted) on my thoughts in this. This kept messing with my mind until a few nights ago, when Prince’s “ Sexy M.F. ” was repeating in my head. The song is on his “ Love Symbol ” album, where you hear Prince say: [Intro] Come here baby, yeah U sexy motherfucker [Adlib by Prince] I like it, I like it Kendrick damn near mimics the flirty-ness and voice of Prince. Why? I’m not too sure. I would like to think he is paying homage to Prince. I mean, he did wear purple in a few of his promo photos for the Superbowl. Also, Prince raps on this song. He was influenced by hip-hop at the time in 91’-92’ and heard “Bitch Better Have My Money” by AMG. Listen to at least up to 2 or so minutes of the song, "Sexy M.F." and you can hear the similarities. "It's the Ben Frank murderer , Mister, I ain't heard of you" I know some people say that this lyric meant Kendrick spends his money or something of the sort. For me it may be something more layered, and it may be more directed to Drake, and yeah, I could be wrong. (OK, I think this is a HUGE reach and I'm laughing while typing this) Ben Franklin, besides being America’s 6th President, tried to follow “13 virtues” throughout his life starting at the age of 20. Here is the list: 1- Temperance. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation." 2- Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation." 3- Order. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time. 4- Resolution. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve. 5- Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing. 6- Industry. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions. 7- Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly. 8- Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty. 9- Moderation. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. 10- Cleanliness. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation. 11- Tranquility. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. 12- Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation. 13- Humility. Imitate Jesus and Socrates. To put it bluntly, these virtues are DEFINITELY not something “the Boy” would care for. Then the alleged activities he may be involved in doesn’t help. He cares about spending Benjamins, not knowing who the person is. To delve into a little bit about Benjamin Franklin, his views on slavery evolved and he became a critic of slavery and more of an abolitionist. Final Thoughts... With that said, Dot could be talking about something else completely. He definitely most likely is on the last one, more than likely. Maybe someone else might be able to dig in further on what's been provided above. Or maybe… this might be a schizo thought(s). No shame. However, I do think it's interesting that money seems to be front and center on this song, down to Prince's mention of the very song that, in some sense, inspired him to write Sexy M.F.
