"All Falls Down" Is a popular song by American rapper Kanye West. It was released on April 8, 2004, It is part of his popular album [[The college dropout]]

Background

The title is a reference to Lamar's "The Heart" song series,[1] which has lasted for over a decade as of 2024, since it started in April 2010.[2]

In "The Heart Part 6", Drake directly rebuts the allegations of pedophilia made by Lamar, stating he knew he would take that angle given how the topic had been heavily discussed on social media prior to this beef. This was also stated on Drakes second diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle”, where an AI 2pac encouraged Kendrick to rap about Drake liking young girls.[3] Drake also goes on to state how he believes Lamar is taking the pedophilia approach because Lamar was molested himself as a child. Drake claims to have gotten that information from a Kendrick song, presumably “Mother I Sober”, though Lamar expressed in this song that it was his mother who was sexually assaulted, not him.[4][5] Drake also claims that his alleged secret daughter was a fake story intentionally given to Lamar by the OVO team, stating that Lamar took the bait without proper investigation of the claims.[5] He also goes on to state that the original cover art in Kendrick’s “Meet the Grahams” was also planned in advance by the OVO team. Explaining in the track how his team put Maybach gloves and Ozempic in the suitcase Lamar acquired the items from in order to troll Rick Ross and diminish the significance of the original cover art.[6] When "Meet the Grahams" was released onto streaming platforms, the original artwork was replaced with a plain black square, though this was possibly due to Apple Music and Spotify guidelines prohibiting the sharing of personal information, as with the pill bottles in the original artwork, as well as the display of brands or advertisements on cover art.[7][8] As "The Heart Part 6" continues, Drake doubles down on Dave Free being the actual father to Lamar's child. He also further accuses Lamar of cheating on and physically abusing his fiancée Whitney Alford. Drake then finishes the song by questioning why Alford has not come forward to deny any of the allegations Drake has made.[5] The song samples "Prove It" by Aretha Franklin, specifically the line: "Now let me see you prove it / Just let me see you prove it."[9]

Reception

Candace McDuffie of The Root called the song a "cringy response" in which Drake's lyrics come off as a confession to Lamar's pedophilia accusations, and found his disses towards Lamar contradictory and nonsensical.[10]

"The Heart Part 6" received mixed reactions from fans. As of May 7, 2024, the song has over 938,000 dislikes and under 640,000 likes on YouTube.[11]
