Drake is showing no signs of backing down in his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. On Friday (Apr. 19), the rapper dropped a freestyle titled “Taylor Made Freestyle” on his social media platforms, taking more shots at Kendrick.
In the freestyle, Drake incorporates artificial intelligence voices from the late Tupac Shakur and West Coast legend Snoop Dogg. Channeling ‘Pac, Drizzy raps, “Kendrick we need ya, the West Coast savior / Engraving your name in some hip-hop history / If you deal with this viciously / You seem a little nervous about all the publicity.” He then passes the torch to an AI-generated Snoop Dogg, who adds, “Dot, you know that the D-O-G never fucking doubted you / But right now it seem like you posted up without a clue of what the fuck you ’bout to do.”
Drake doesn’t hold back in the final verse, taunting Kendrick with lines like, “Shitting on you niggas from a whole different altitude / High up in the sky like I’m Howard Hughes / The first one really only took me an hour or two / The next one is really ’bout to bring out the coward in you / But now we gotta wait a fucking week ’cause Taylor Swift is your new Top.”
Earlier in the day, Drake officially released his previous diss track “Push Ups” on all digital streaming platforms, which was a response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Like That” off of Future and Metro Boomin’s “We Still Don’t Trust You.” This move also led to Rick Ross dropping “Champagne Moments” in support of Drake’s diss track.
