Lamar took various shots at Drake’s racial identity on the track, but the outro might hit the hardest, especially given the inspiration that produced it. Kanye West unleashed his debut album The College Dropout in 2004, and on “Get ‘Em High” he rapped, “That’s why we hear your music and fast forward/’Cause we don’t wanna hear that weak shit no mo’.”
Ye explained in that line that he’s not wasting time listening to a rapper’s subpar music. It’s a tactical move by Kendrick to pick a similar flow and melody used by Ye, who recently dropped his own remix of the beef-instigating “Like That.”
“Everybody is very, very excited about the elimination of Drake. Not excited. We was energized,” Ye said of getting in the mix with Metro Boomin and Future.
In his intro to the remix, Ye shows support for Kendrick, whose participation in the original We Don’t Trust You Cut helped it shoot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “We gon’ take this pussy n***a out/Yo, Dot, I got you,” West says of his “No More Parties in LA” collaborator.
