The title itself feels like a playful jab at Drake.  It mirrors Drake’s signature ‘timestamp songs’ like ‘4 AM In Toronto‘ and references 6:16 which is a potentially significant number. 6/16 is also Tupac Shakur’s birthday and Father’s day in Canada. If you think this is a lot, there’s more!

Additionally, ‘Euphoria’, which was produced by Drake, also premiered on 6/16, Lamar performed in Toronto on 6/16, and Nicole Brown Simpson was buried on 6/16. More importantly, it signifies Kendrick dropping this diss track without warning, just as Drake did with his previous efforts.  It’s a playful way of saying, “Game on, Drake. I can play this too.”

The Lyrical Genius Of Kendrick Lamar

The lyrics are laced with hints questioning Drake’s authenticity.  Kendrick throws shade at Drake’s perceived dependence on a large entourage, rapping, “You know the wires in your circle should puzzle you if you Street Smart that your entourage is only to hustle you.”  This line implies that Drake might be surrounded by yes-men who aren’t giving him honest advice.  

Subsequently, Lines like “Have you ever thought that OVO was working for me?” further fuel the fire.  OVO Sound is Drake’s record label, and Kendrick seems to be suggesting that his own success has indirectly benefited Drake’s career. The most intriguing element might be the inclusion of Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift’s long-time collaborator, as a co-producer on the track.  

This could be interpreted in two ways.  Firstly, it might be a strategic move to capitalize on Taylor Swift‘s massive fanbase and generate additional hype for the diss track.  Secondly, it could be a playful dig at Drake’s recent reference to Taylor Swift in his own diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle.”  

Additionally, whether all these meanings were intended by Kendrick Lamar is a mystery for fans to dissect and debate. However, One thing’s for sure: this new track has reignited the hip-hop feud, and music lovers everywhere are eagerly awaiting Drake’s response.
