Kendrick Lamar Diss Kanye

With the release of Kendrick Lamar’s new track, ‘Like That’ off his new album We Don’t Trust You, appearing to diss J. Cole and Drake, fans are revisiting his alleged Kanye diss off a previous album. In his album, To Pimp a Butterfly, fans were speculating if Kendrick was dissing Kanye with his song ‘King Kunta’ in which he rapped, “The line goes like this: “I can dig rapping, but a rapper with a ghostwriter?/ What the f–k happened?/ (Oh no) I swore I wouldn’t tell/ But most of y’all sharing bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two-man cell/ Something’s in the water/ And if I got a brown nose for some gold then I’d rather be a bum than a motherf–kin’ baller.”

There was a rumour online for years that Kanye used a ghostwriter so fans started to speculate if the line was a Kendrick diss about Kanye.

Why Did Kendrick Lamar Diss Drake and J. Cole

Kendrick Lamar has allegedly had tensions with Drake for years, so for fans, the line doesn’t come as a surprise. Kendrick references how fans have dubbed dubbed Drake, Kendrick and J. Cole as the ‘Big Three’, meaning they’re the three best rappers alive.

Kendrick Lamar Diss Lyrics

In the track ‘Like That’, Kendrick raps. “Sneak dissin’, first-person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” K-Dot raps. “I crash out, like, ‘F**k rap,’ this Melle Mell if I had to/Got two Ts with me, I’m snatchin’ chains and burnin’ tattoos, it’s up/Lost too many soldiers not to play it safe/If he walk around with that stick, it ain’t Andre 3K/Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/Muthaf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me/N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that.”

In the lyrics Kendrick’s rapping that the ‘Big Three’ don’t matter and that there’s only him. Listen to the new track on Spotify.
