The rap world is buzzing with excitement as Drake fires shots at Kendrick Lamar with not one, but two diss tracks, ‘Push Ups’ and ‘Taylor Made,’ following the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s collaborative LP, ‘We Don’t Trust You.’
The feud between Drake and Lamar reached new heights with the release of ‘Push Ups,’ a scathing diss track where Drake takes aim at Lamar’s credibility and stature in the rap game. Not content with just one track, Drake quickly followed up with ‘Taylor Made,’ adding fuel to the fire and intensifying the tension between the two artists.
‘Taylor Made,’ shared by Drake on Instagram, features AI-generated vocals from legendary rappers Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already heated rivalry. The AI Tupac delivers cutting lines seemingly aimed at Lamar, suggesting hesitancy and nervousness about the attention and publicity surrounding their feud.
Interestingly, ‘Taylor Made’ also seems to reference Taylor Swift’s album release on the same day, hinting at Lamar’s potential reluctance to engage in a clash with Drake to avoid being overshadowed by Swift’s album.
The feud between Drake and Lamar traces back to Lamar’s verse on ‘Like That,’ where he dismissively addressed the notion of ‘the big three,’ including himself, Drake, and J. Cole. Drake’s response in ‘Push Ups’ is a direct retort to Lamar’s jabs, mocking everything from his guest verses to his influence in the industry.
Not stopping there, Drake also takes aim at J. Cole, dismissing his previous track ‘7 Minute Drill’ as weak and labeling it as “the lamest shit” he’s ever done. Drake asserts his dominance in the rap game, asserting that his brewing beef with Lamar is heating up while dismissing Cole’s involvement as insignificant.
With tensions escalating and diss tracks flying back and forth, the rap world eagerly awaits Lamar’s response to Drake’s scathing attacks. In the meantime, fans can’t help but revel in the drama and excitement of this high-stakes rap feud.
