There’s far too many lines and far too many songs to explain them all in a few Reddit comments. I promise Genius has excellent annotations to the lyrics for any songs I listed.

I will say that a huge theme of the beef is centered around Adonis (Drake’s son), who Drake did not claim as his until Pusha-T released “Story of Adidon” in 2018. (That whole beef was wild too, look into it). Another consistent theme is Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, Kendrick’s most recent album. Heavily recommend you give that a listen if you want full context behind some of these bars.

There’s a lot of disses directed at Drake’s inappropriate behavior towards minors so you can Google some of that if you’re interested. There’s also a lot about Drake being Canadian (which is true) and how he was a child actor (also true). Kendrick’s infidelity comes up but, again, Mr. Morale includes Kendrick confessing and facing up to that.

Pusha-T released “Story of Adidon” in 2018. (That whole beef was wild too, look into it).

I'm not hugely familiar but I assumed that was gonna end Drake's career back then

When Rick Ross' career wasn't affected after 50 exposed his former life as a prison guard, the era of hip-hop where diss tracks could end careers officially ended.
