The highly anticipated joint album 'We Don't Trust You' from Future and Metro Boomin' was released on March 22, featuring a track that has stirred up significant attention. Titled 'Like That,' the song includes a surprising appearance by Kendrick Lamar, a prominent figure in the music industry often associated with Drake and J Cole as part of 'the big three.'
However, Kendrick's verse on the track seems to take a direct shot at his fellow artists, asserting his own supremacy. In one line, he dismisses the notion of a 'big three,' proclaiming 'm********k the big three, n***a, it's just big me.' This bold statement suggests Kendrick's confidence in his own abilities and status within the industry.
Further in the verse, Kendrick alludes to the concept of 'sneak dissing,' a practice of making indirect negative remarks about others. He sets the tone for his verse by declaring 'f**k sneak dissin',' hinting at a forthcoming confrontation through his lyrics.
Referencing Drake and J Cole, Kendrick's lyrics imply a competitive dynamic, with lines like 'your best work is a light pack, n***a, Prince outlived Mike Jack.' By drawing parallels to the rivalry between Prince and Michael Jackson, Kendrick suggests that his own legacy will surpass that of his peers.
Additionally, Kendrick's mention of Eminem in his verse, specifically the line 'diss Melle Mel if I had to,' alludes to past rap beefs and the complexities of the music industry. This reference underscores the intricate relationships and tensions that can arise among artists.
Overall, Kendrick Lamar's verse on 'Like That' has sparked intrigue and speculation within the music community, adding a layer of depth to the ongoing dynamics between artists. As fans dissect the lyrics and implications of his words, the track serves as a focal point for discussions on competition, creativity, and individuality in the realm of hip-hop.
