On their simultaneously released diss tracks, “Family Matters” and “Meet the Grahams,” Drake and Kendrick Lamar get personal.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar
They are still at odds over language, but this time it’s personal. Following the release of the latter’s new diss track, “6:16 in LA,” earlier this morning, both rappers issued reaction songs on Friday night, May 3, Drake with “Family Matters” and Kendrick Lamar with “Meet the Grahams.”
Drake started off with “Family Matters,” in which the plot takes a rather personal turn. “You mentioned my seed now deal with his dad,” the seven-minute single from the Toronto native opens with. “I have to go bad, I have to go bad.”
He shoots Lamar from a distance on the track, taking aim at both his opponent and his fiancée Whitney Alford. Referring to Kendrick Lamar’s 2012 song “Money Trees,” he says, “Don’t even go back to your hood and plant no money trees.”
“You the Black messiah wifing up a mixed queen / Say you hate the girls I fuck, but what you really mean is that I been with Black and White and everything in between / And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem.”
