Kanye West Seemingly Sides With Kendrick Lamar In Drake vs J. Cole Bаttle
It seems like Kanye West has taken a stance in the developing cоnflict between Drake, J. Cole, and
Kendrick Lamar.
Many artists have chimed in with their opinions after Kendrick ignited the hip-hop world by dissing
Drizzy and Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.”
On Tuesday, March 26, Ye seemed to show his support for K. Dot on Instagram Stories by sharing
an Apple Music screenshot of their collaboration, “No More Parties In LA,” off his 2016 album The
Life of Pablo.
Although the post’s purpose is unknown, many have assumed that Kanye is supporting the Compton artist against his “big three” rivals.
Regarding the post, someone commented, “Kanye quite clearly showing his allegiance to Kendrick.”
Another person compared the bаttle to the Marvel movie series, saying, “It’s really the Avengers vs. Dranos.”
Kendrick Lamar’s guest verse on “Like That,” off Future and Metro Boomin’s joint album We Don’t Trust You, was reminiscent of his furious lines on 2013’s “Control,” with him subtly criticizing Drake and J. Cole.
He rapped, “Yeah, get up with me/ sneak dissin’, first person shooter/ I hope they came with three switches,” alluding to the smаsh song “First Person Shooter” by the duo.
In addition, he addressed the ongoing discussion on who of them is the better rapper, saying, “Think I won’t drop the location? “Muthafuck the big three, n-gga, it’s just big me,” I still have PTSD.
Drake and Kanye West have also been at odds for years, even though they have worked together several times.
Kanye recently took aim at Drake in a tirade over adidas and claimed, among other things, that the Canadian had an affair with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
He added Lil Durk to Drake and J. Cole’s Big As the What? Tour. “Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role [sic] out I’ll come back to yall if I think of more you’s,” he posted on Instagram.
Famously, Cole mocked the Chicago rap legend in his 2016 song “False Prophets.”
“He says he’s a genius, but it’s more obvious now. It’s been difficult for him to look in the mirror lately,” he rapped. This n-gga was maybe my idol once, which is why I find it difficult to accept his fall from grace. I believed him when he said that his was purer and that he was the kind of n-gga who swore he was genuine but was really a phony all around.
