Bro is upset.

And also something that we haven't talked about yet is the name Iceman.

I mean, what is cooler and more collected?

This is sarcasm.

Then developing a fake superhero alter ego to demonstrate how unbothered you are and then talking about it for 18 straight songs.

Not the time.

Yeah, I feel kind of weird about Drake identifying himself as Iceman.

You know, in this very politically charged time when ice is literally stealing people off the streets.

In Los Angeles, where Kendrick Lamar is from.

Don't really love those optics.

We didn't even mention that.

I mean, I think you said it yourself.

I think he's trying to draw connections between himself and Michael Jackson, maybe because the media persecuted both of them.

But there's also a line on Like That that Kendrick Lamar says that I'm recalling now where he says Prince outlived Mike Jack, referring to Kendrick Lamar as Prince and referring to Drake as Michael Jackson.

So maybe it's referencing that.

Maybe it's referencing the public perception of Michael Jackson.

I am not really sure.

Again, the messaging around this album I find very cloudy and not super thought through.

There's another song on the album that responds to the beef musically, and that's the track Too Hard for the radio.

You heard a reference to Capital M Mustard, the DJ who produced Not Like Us and is also boys with Kendrick.
