In the realm of hip-hop, a new narrative of lyrical warfare develops, capturing some of the genre's top titans, including Kendrick Lamar, Drake, J. Cole, and Rick Ross. This dramatic unraveling reflects the core of rap's fundamental competition, recalling the days of legendary diss records and public disputes that shaped much of the genre's history.
The drama rekindled with Kendrick Lamar's incisive verse on Like That, a tune off Future and Metro Boomin's collaboration album We Don't Trust You. Lamar's lyrics were sarcastic and brutal, taking direct aim at Drake and J. Cole, questioning their place in the hip-hop hierarchy and establishing his authority. Lamar's message was clear: he believes that the battle for rap supremacy is a lonely journey.
J. Cole's shocking clapback In response to Lamar's challenge, J. Cole dropped 7 Minute Drill from his surprise album Might Delete Later. Cole retaliated to Lamar with harsh bars criticizing his current artistic outputs and approach to the industry. However, the criticism was fast and intense, with both fans and critics doubting Cole's attitude. Reflecting on the unfavorable feedback, Cole took an unexpected turn during his Dreamville Festival performance, publicly retracting his diss and expressing regret for the music, which he later pulled from streaming services.
Drake has responded with a more restrained but well-thought-out response. Known for his cunning strategy in past high-profile rap feuds, Drake hasn't been able to resist releasing a direct diss track. This past Friday, he dropped a new song titled Push Ups, in which he insulted other rappers, including Rick Ross.
Rick Ross' Quick Response To Drake Rick Ross wasted no time in responding to Drake’s diss over the weekend. Ross responded with his own diss track, Champagne Moments, released straight to social media. In Champagne Moments, Ross refers to Drake as White Boy, which speaks to Drake’s biracial ethnicity while addressing Drake’s claims on Push Ups, like giving out rappers their first number ones, becoming a different person after fame, surgeries, and more. Ross ends the song by requesting Drake to check him directly like a gangster.
Drake then focuses on Rick Ross, criticizing his previous experiences as a correctional officer and claiming responsibility for helping him produce many Hot 100 songs, including Gold Roses, Money in the Grave, Stay Schemin, and others. Spend that little check you have and stay up out my business, he spits out, I might take your latest girl and cuff her like I'm Ricky/ Can't believe he jumpin' in, this n—- turnin' 50/ Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy. Without missing a beat, Rick Ross fired back at the OVO CEO with his Champagne Moments insult.
DJ Akademiks premiered the record which finds the MMG mogul saying Drake stole Lil Wayne’s flow and alleged that he got a nose job in the past. That’s why you had an operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose, he raps.
The rap game is heating up as diss tracks continue to fly, captivating audiences worldwide. It's like a gripping saga, with each lyrical exchange shaping the future of hip-hop and the legacies of those involved. As the battle intensifies, everyone eagerly awaits the outcome of this historic clash.
