    Pusha T ruined all of your expectations of rap beefs. Not every beef has Pusha T levels of mic drop moments.

    I just listened to Drakes "Taylor Made Freestyle" for the first time and have to say that I prefer his last verse on there compared to anything from this new Kendrick song. Kendrick might have Eminem syndrome where the product is too overworked and overthought resulting in it being a bit sh--.

    I honestly think the Drake songs go harder than this. This was weird at first with the intro but eventually it got better. Still dont think he goes hard enough and I dont think it needed to be 6 mins long. Might grow on me over time but on first listen I still think Drake is up. But Drake still needs to respond.

    Cant help but feel like there’s Eminem influence here. The stop & go flow + the pausing & yelling punchlines lol. Kendrick is talented enough to make it work but it is a bit cringy imo.

    odds are probably slim to none but I wonder if these Rocky Badd diss tracks influence Kendrick with his title/cover art lol.

    P.S. both these diss tracks are miles better than anything we’ve heard in this beef so far.

    Only GOATs start diss tracks like this:



    Also referencing Joe Budden’s diss track to Drake ‘Making a Murderer’:

    Exactly what I’ve been complaining about with all the disses is this beef (minus Push Ups and Taylor g---)… just 85% pointless filler that isn’t personal or even necessarily a diss at all. Song should have been 2-3 minutes of direct shots but he let the beat switches and length of the track do the heavy lifting to make up for the fact that he had very little to actually say.

    Extremely disappointing but he had some good stuff in there, the attacks on Drake’s blackness/not fitting in with the culture is the most damning thing against him in this feud and not feeling great about him saying n----- is funny, it has always felt a little off hearing Drake say it lol

    All in all Drake wins this round handedly even without the AI Pac track, Push Ups is at least nonstop direct, personal disses that hit harder than this or Ross’

    This is Kendrick’s “Warning Shot” so Drake can drop the “next one will bring out the coward in you”

    then Kendrick can drop his bomb

    I was wondering how Kendrick would approach a warning shot that was a step up from Push Ups. He did a pretty good job at it. Solid track, nothing scathing but I def expect Drake to respond very quickly.

    Updated OP with a brief recap of the beef to this point, and all the rappers involved (so far...). Also added a new poll.

    If you showed this to a Hip Hop fan at the start of the year this would look like insanity. 3/5 of the major SXNs on this forum are involved in this too, since doubt Em or Thug are gonna be joining in

    With how volatile Kanye is, I wouldn't be surprised if he switched up and started dissing both sides just so that he could stand out from everyone else

    Has anyone played the first few seconds of Kendrick’s diss in reverse yet to know what’s being said? Sounds like it’s reversed.

    “How many fairytale stories about your life till we had enough? How many black features till you finally feel that you’re black enough? I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he act tough, you gonna make a n----- bring back Puff, let me see if Chubbs really crash somethin”

    By far the best bit in the whole diss track.
