Haymakers were thrown yesterday by Kendrick Lamar towards Drake as rap’s top bout enters another round, following duels involving undercards such as J Cole, Rick Ross, Future and A$AP Rocky.
Lamar initially rang the bell a month ago with Like That, slagging off Drake as a mere pop star. Drake came back with Push Ups, featuring the allegation that Lamar’s wife was cheating on him (among various other barbs). Before Lamar could respond, Drake released Taylor Made Freestyle, which used AI to cheekily have 2Pac and Snoop Dogg – two of Lamar’s west coast forebears – chide Lamar for not following up soon enough.
