Kendrick Lamar Threw Drake a Homegoing Service
The Friday Post.
On the Fourth of July, I was celebrating the Lana Del Rey song “National Anthem,” the very-online were celebrating the birthdate of the Caesar Salad, and Kendrick Lamar was celebrating Drake’s defeat. On Juneteenth, Kendrick called a quorum of every LA rapper you can possibly think of, plus some other people. (The only notable LA natives not present, I swear to God, were Haim. But maybe they were there in the background somewhere, idk.) With the release of the “Not Like Us” music video — his blistering Drake diss track — Kendrick turned Independence Day into the Canadian rapper’s homegoing service.1
