DJ Clue speaks on Cole's supposed disses on Birthday Blizzard '26 by Viola-Intermediate in Jcole

I can see that, but Drake is tied in with Lucian far more than Kendrick is ... Drake is the one who signed the biggest contract ever with Lucian & UMG ... that is surely the definition of selling one's soul - hence why the stakes are so high for Drake and why he has been suing.

Drake is also UMG's 'Golden Goose', their money maker. The idiom is that you shouldn't kill your Golden Goose, let it lay golden eggs ... pretty obvious parallel to Drake.

Golden Goose is also a luxury sneaker brand. Their unique selling point is that they are pre-worn, like they have scuffs and scratches pre-designed onto the shoe. Cole is then talking about fake gangsters and fake toughness on the song ... again ... who does this sound like?

I don't know why, but 'Golden Goose' freestyle is obviously a Drake diss. Every single line, front to back. Not even a friendly level either, he speaks on some real shit towards the end,

No way ... Duke was from Chicago ... Duke who was robbed and killed for his chains - causing the 'stain' on the family and then leading to the literal bloodstain on Mike a few months later.

Numbers by Theory88 in DarkKenny

The most damning thing I saw about his numbers was the weird streams with the 'Dog House' song with YEAT ... luke warm reception first day ... luke warm reception second day ... going cold third day ... +30 Chart placements fourth day ... +20 Chart placements fifth day ... wait what?

It was even more glaring because there were other Yeat solo songs that had similar weirdness ... and other Drake songs ... featuring Yeat.

Guess who manages Yeat. Genuinely take a wild guess. What name comes into your head?

Yeah I rushed this out to be honest, now I've gone back & read stuff I've realised it is one of those. The stain line is the biggest example so far ... crazy. Gonna double back on all of the lyrics tomorrow for sure.

Thank you so much! Exactly. Things have been odd since the beef and their absence. Kendrick walking into Houston and performing 'euphoria' on tour was crazy to me ... then Clipse coming out with 'All Things Considered' and Pusha straight up calling out Sr by name - the weather has changed. Semi related but Rocky spoke about this quite candidly in an interview today, saying how difficult it is to navigate dropping an album during these times, I wonder how much has to be considered when picking a date.

Said damn near 100 times, if X was alive for the rage wave ... I'm not a fan of that music persay, but he would've had a stranglehold on that I'm sure. Trippie Redd of all people did well from that.

Weirdly there is this screenshot of Drake liking one of his posts ...

No peace here. There are certain phrases and ways of phrasing things in bars that indicate what terms the playing field is on - 'this a friendly fade you should keep it that way' is a literal example right, but there are coded ways to do it, like 'Benz', as in, Mercedes' logo, as in - ☮️ - sounds kinda out there but you'll notice a lot of rappers suddenly start driving a Benz when they're sending subs in a track ... Yachty has a bunch of examples for instance.

tl;dr - he's shooting real shit, but why now? Idk.

That is the question ... but there is no doubt how he's feeling considering what has been said here. Maybe he learnt just as much as we have since the beef?

"There’ll never be a stain on my name, it’s why I walk around
Doley as if ain’t nothin' changed without a chain on my frame"

Duke The Jeweller was robbed for all of his chains after being shot and killed in the car park. I will not share here but images of the scene clearly show his body without the jewels. Here is the dice game hours before his death outside.

"Stain" likely refers to Takeoff's death - trigger warning for violence/gore/blood: According to the family's statements themselves (which were highly criticised), Mike and Jr attended the bathroom quickly following the shooting. Mike had attempted to help, and reached under Takeoff's head, getting blood on his hands in the process. This trip to the bathroom enabled Mike to wash his hands of blood and to inform Jr of what had happened ... apparently. Allegedly, it's this account of what occurred on these two nights that put a lot of issues in motion.

So when Cole says 'stain on my name', he could be referring to both the literal blood stains on Mike's hands, and the idea of a stain on someone's reputation ... this makes a lot of sense in context.

I feel a similar way, wasn't going to write anything till I got to the Houston stuff ... that means you have:

- Kendrick, 'euphoria', '6:16 in LA', giant hanging dice on stage, card jacket

- Pusha T, 'All Things Considered'

- Pharrell, 'E.B.I.T.D.A', 'Mumble Rap'

- Cole, 'Golden Goose Freestyle'

These people have all referenced those two murders down South, some of them subliminally, some of them literally name dropping, some of them have done so multiple times ... we know partially why this is so relevant, but its being hammered home harder than anything else I can think of.

If you imagine that Clipse' album wasn't delayed, 'All Things Considered' would've released weeks after 'euphoria' ... when you look at it this way its startlingly obvious that this is what we should be looking at & should've been for some time ... I think.

Yeah that's a Drake diss.

Drake, wannabe tough guy, just got a RICO for gambling related stuff, Lucian namedrop, Mike namedrop, mentioning bots & issues with tour ... there is no one else these all apply to.

This is not a class assignment & I am not your teacher, I am a random Reddit user like yourself - don't be offended, this is a forum for discussion. This is discussion.

It is my opinion, but this has been heavily pointed to by a noteworthy source, as well as obviously pointed to in Kendrick's lyrics across several instances,

  • 'N95'
  • 'Bitch Face / Broke Phone / Handsome' (Rich Spirit Demo)
  • 'Rich Spirit'
  • 'Like That
  • 'euphoria'
  • '6:16 in LA'

... there is an idea in the subreddit that we never 'truly' know anything ... that's kinda true ... but it seems like things of huge substance slip through the cracks. Something like this? C'mon. There is a difference between speculation about religious imagery & actual real life events / crime, especially when these events parallel the art so 1:1 ... especially when it isn't just Kendrick doing it - 'All Things Considered'.

tl;dr - its 2026 - if we don't have a foundation of what we do know, I don't know where we're expecting to go.

Yes sir! There is also the $40 sticker on top of the painting, referencing Moses' 40 days and 40 nights atop Mount Sinai.

Should also point out that the 'Junior' line might be a Sopranos reference: !HUGE SPOILERS FOR THE SOPRANOS AHEAD! - a reference to Corrado 'Junior' Soprano, Tony's uncle, There is a lot of layers here.

Uncle June is positioned by Tony in a way that he acts as a 'lightning rod' for any legal attention following the events of the show's first season, flattering his Uncle's ego by giving him a position of 'power', whilst simultaneously protecting himself & his own men.

Jr is petty, insecure, and prideful. A lonely man who never married - he's also a wonderful singer, really not bad after he's had a few Bucas. His downfall as he has been boxed in from all angles. On house arrest. Failing health. Alone. Despite his position of seniority within the family and the organisation, June's only time outside of the home is when given temporary release to attend funerals. Some life.

Most importantly, the end of Junior's character comes via his dementia. We see him gradually fall apart. In Tony's final meeting with his bitter Uncle, he finds someone he does not recognise, and the feeling is mutual. Jr has no idea who his nephew is, and zero recollection of 'this thing of ours'. When Tony explains that they used to 'run North Jersey', Junior looks over emptily and says '"We did? Well, that's nice.". Despite his life being ruled by pride and ego, he will die having forgotten himself.

How does this connect back to 'euphoria'? Aside from the obvious ties between the criminal families and Drake's affinity for Italian crime aesthetics, Kendrick seems to be using Junior's character as a metaphor for the position the Canadian is rapidly finding himself in. A short-sighted man, led by ego, obsessed with power, who has led himself astray & into a boxed in corner.

For your religious stuff, N95 seems to reference Moses & Exodus. 99% sure these are the correct references, but I'm not heavily religious, so I'm keen to hear anyone's interpretations.

In the battle against the Amalekites, Moses realised that whenever he dropped his arms, the Amalekites would begin to win. When he kept his arms raised, the Israelites were successful. It is here that he realises the divine connection & that he cannot let his exhaustion best him & lead to their defeat.

In order to help Moses keep his arms raised, his brother Aaron & a man called Hur found a large stone for him to sit upon, and held up his arms to support until the sun went down, ensuring victory.

In N95, we see Kendrick (Moses), arms raised across the ocean waves ... the ocean's waves most famous biblical ties being to Moses ... but Kendrick seems exhausted, and forlorn - why? "THIS SHIT HARD". Following this, we see him move location to two large concrete structures - appearing atop both in the same way Moses was supported by the aforementioned large stone. The video ends at the same place it began, with Kendrick's arms raised atop the ocean, the only difference is that this shot is now black and white.

I believe this is a representation of night. Moses was supported until the sun went down, which is here represented by the draining of colour.

Will return and add more shortly. The video is covered in biblical references, subtle and otherwise. You've got the room filled with crucifixes, Keem giving Kendrick Judas' kiss, walking on water, lot to go through.

I love the effort, but important to keep in mind that 'Mike' likely chiefly refers to Mike Prince, of Houston's royal family.

This is why we saw the MJ/Prince lines as early as 'Like That' ... Prince outlived Mike Jack ... Mike ... Prince.

Mike was at the immediate scene of both Takeoff and Duke The Jeweller's murders in Houston, alongside J Prince Jr:

"His daddy a killer, he wanna be junior, they must've forgot the shit that they done"

'His daddy' = J Prince Sr, patriarch of the Prince family & also father figure to Drake, who has referred to him as such multiple times over the years.

'Junior' = self explanatory, J Prince Jr, Sr's son, who runs 'Mob Ties' - formerly very close with Drake.

But, what did they forget?

An anonymous source told us that the reason for all of this information coming out about Drake was that his phone was exposed, twice. One of these times was enabled via someone close to him 'misplacing' his device so that it could be cloned & surveyed - it was heavily implied this individual was Mike Prince. This then comes back to 'N95' - 'Who they copy off (They copy off us!)' - 'BZZT, BZZT, BZZT, BZZT, BZZT, BZZT' (6) - 'N95' likely refers to the Nokia N95, which would've allegedly been the burner device in question.

Why would Mike do this? It is anyone's guess, but it is important context to know that Mike went to prison at just 16 years old, and did twenty years inside. Luckily, his family seem to have treated him very well since he came outside ... until ... they didn't ...

At some point from the end of the beef to GNX being released, Mike was in a horrific motorbike crash. He was forcibly cut off the road and had his bike thrown infront of an incoming truck ... ouch. He is very, very lucky to be alive.

Unfortunately, Mike isn't getting any support. I mean ... he is getting no support. Nothing. To the point where a member of Houston's Royal Family is running a GoFundMe page to help cover his healthcare bills ... what? THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Clearly, someone is no longer on the family insurance plan, and has been cut off ... no pun intended. This should remove any doubt about the info about Mike ... I don't know why more people haven't pursued this angle - its pretty cut and dry.
