Savage Verses in the Latest Diss Tracks by Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and More
In March, Kendrick Lamar dissed Drake and J. Cole on the song “Like That” by Future and Metro Boomin, which caused a stir in the hip-hop industry. In the past month, many diss tracks have been released, with several rappers aiming to take revenge on Lamar. The hostility between these rappers has intensified, and some of the verbal attacks have been extreme.
“And your best work is a light pack/N***a, Prince outlived Mike Jack’/N***a, bum/For all your dogs gettin’ buried/That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary/N***a, bum,” K-Dot raps.
Before the storm hit, Cole responded with “7 Minute Drill,” criticizing the Compton rapper’s music.
“Your first s**t was classic, your last s**t was tragic/Your second s**t put n***as to sleep, but they gassed it/Your third s**t was massive and that was your prime,” Cole rhymes. Cole would go on to bow out of the beef a couple of days later But that was only the beginning.
It’s clear that Kendrick Lamar (K-Dot) wasn’t the sole artist with issues concerning Drake. Rick Ross, The Weeknd, and A$AP Rocky have also expressed their discontent through their music. In response, Drake fired back with two tracks: ‘Push Ups’ and ‘Taylor Made Freestyle.’
Meanwhile, amidst this ongoing drama, Chris Brown and Quavo find themselves embroiled in a heated exchange, perhaps the most intense of them all. Tensions are running high within the hip-hop community.”
