Rap fans were in for a surprise as the ongoing feud in the rap world took an unexpected turn with the release of Drake's latest diss track, 'Taylor Made.' The track, aimed at Kendrick Lamar, featured references to Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur, adding a new layer of complexity to the already convoluted situation.
The feud traces back to March 22 when rapper Future and producer Metro Boomin dropped the song 'Like That,' which included a verse from Lamar referring to himself, Drake, and J. Cole as 'the Big Three.' Lamar's assertion of his individuality within the trio sparked tensions, reigniting long-standing rivalries.
In 'Like That,' Lamar drew comparisons to the legendary artist Prince, hinting at a rivalry with Michael Jackson. This reference, coupled with Drake's recent Billboard achievements mirroring Jackson's success, added fuel to the fire.
The diss track saga escalated further with other rappers like Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, and Ye joining in to target Drake and Cole, intensifying the already heated atmosphere in the rap community.
'Taylor Made' took a unique approach by incorporating what seemed like AI-generated voices of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. The faux Tupac offered Lamar advice on dissing Drake, while the AI Snoop Dogg humorously downplayed any violent acts, adding a touch of humor to the intense exchange.
Drake's verse in 'Taylor Made' teased Lamar about his alleged delay in responding to previous diss tracks, attributing it to Swift's influence and her new album release. The track hinted at Lamar's collaboration with Swift on 'Bad Blood' and its impact on his popularity, further fueling the rivalry.
The release of 'Taylor Made' not only stirred up the rap scene but also prompted speculation and discussions among fans and industry insiders. Representatives for the artists mentioned in the track did not immediately respond to requests for comments, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this unfolding rap drama.
