Kendrick Lamar's "WEB 616 in LA": A Scathing Diss Track Targeting Drake
Subtle Shots and Wordplay
In his latest diss track, "WEB 616 in LA," Kendrick Lamar takes aim at Drake's record label, OVO, and his wealth and lifestyle. The song's title itself is a clever play on Drake's album "Scorpion," which is often stylized as "616," a reference to Toronto's area code.
Lyrics and Meaning
Throughout the song, Lamar raps about buying yachts and enjoying the finer things in life, while subtly referencing Drake's own ostentatious lifestyle. He also takes shots at Drake's collaborations with other artists, such as ASAP Rocky and Lil Wayne.
One of the most striking lyrics in the song is: "OVO working for me, that's big business." This line suggests that Lamar believes Drake's label is actually benefiting from his success, rather than vice versa.
Critical Reception
"WEB 616 in LA" has been met with mixed reviews from critics. Some have praised Lamar's clever wordplay and lyrical prowess, while others have criticized the song as being too repetitive and lacking in substance.
Regardless of the critical reception, the song has certainly generated a lot of buzz on social media and has sparked a new round of speculation about the ongoing feud between Lamar and Drake.
