  • The Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef took over the hip-hop world in 2024, but the rappers had been trading barbs for years before "Not Like Us."

The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, two of hip-hop's biggest stars, has escalated into a high-profile rap battle with a series of diss tracks released in 2024. The conflict began to intensify when Kendrick Lamar took shots at Drake and J. Cole in his verse on Future and Metro Boomin's track "Like That," released in March 2024, where he dismissed the idea of a "big three" in rap. Drake responded with "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle," the latter using AI-generated verses from Tupac and Snoop Dogg, which was later removed due to legal issues. Lamar fired back with "Euphoria" and "6:16 in LA," directly addressing Drake's personal life and business dealings. The feud continued with Drake's "Family Matters" and Lamar's "Meet the Grahams," where personal attacks escalated, including allegations of secret children and domestic abuse. The latest in this ongoing battle is Lamar's "Not Like Us," where he accuses Drake of being a "certified pedophile," intensifying the personal nature of their lyrical warfare. This back-and-forth has not only captured the attention of fans but has also highlighted the competitive nature of hip-hop, showcasing each artist's lyrical prowess and personal grievances.
