Drake’s new song “Diplomatic Immunity” first grabbed headlines for its references to Jennifer Lopez, Joe Budden, and Wu-Tang Clan, but there’s also a curious bit of European history buried in it. On the Nick Brongers and Boi-1da-produced track, Drake drops a reference to the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed by the warring nations of Europe to establish peace after World War I. On its surface, the line is meant as a warning to Drake’s rivals that he’s not afraid to violate a truce that doesn’t benefit him.

    • As Lupe mentioned recently, Kendrick's strengths have never really been in punchlines or the use of double/triple entendres. His form of lyricism is primarily comprised of alliteration and storytelling. Which isn't to say he can't use entendres or punchlines, it's just a lot less frequent than someone like Drake or Lupe.

The most lyrical artist of today are the only ones really winning. You listening to the radio obviously so you not really the best critic. Broaden your listening.

  • that A-rod line....was insane. "A rotterdam trip had me on front page though" [Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands. During his trip to the Netherlands for the Boy Meets World Tour in 2017, Drizzy canceled a show three times, played at a young boys Bar Mitzvah, and reportedly impregnated a former porn star; all which courted controversy. The phrase “A Rotterdam trip” is also a homophone for “A-Rod a damn trip.” J-Lo’s current boyfriend is Alex Rodriguez, otherwise known as A-Rod.]

Drake is one of the best emcees out he would just rather make hits and albums with feelings and layers so he has a team of other ppl to help him. Has he had ghostwriters? Absolutely. Has he written his own songs before? Absofuckinglutely.
