Cam’ron and Ma$e Currently Have Kendrick Lamar Up Over Drake in Beef

May 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Like the rest of the Hip-Hop community, Cam’ron and Ma$e have been dialed into the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The Is What It Is duo has Compton up in the battle.

“I don’t like what Drake dropped last night because it wasn’t bad but I don’t like the way that it ended,” Cam said. “It seemed like ‘This is the last one I’m doing.’

“You can’t end it when you just want to end it. He’s all, ‘I’m tired of doing this,’ this, that and the third. I just think that you shouldn’t have ended it like that. You gotta keep going.”

Ma$e said he felt “Not Like Us” as “the one.” He added, “When I heard that, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s gonna be tough.’ That was the one I was expecting.”

Cam’ron and Mase both agree that Kendrick Lamar won the rap battle against Drake, and Cam’ron says he didn’t like the way Drake ended it.

“The Heart Pt. 6” from Drake sounded like his last entry in the beef with Kendrick Lamar. He even raps in the middle of sexual assault jabs, “I don’t wanna diss you anymore, this really got me second guessing.”

You can hear it all below.

After Kendrick Lamar took Drake’s timestamp records, The Boy returned the favor, snatching “The Heart” series for his latest track, “The Heart Pt. 6,” which addresses Kendrick Lamar.

“The Heart Part 6 out now… And we know you’re dropping 6 mins after so instead of posting my address you have a lot to address,” Drake wrote on social media.

The song is in response to “Not Like Us” and features a screenshot of an Instagram comment from Dave Free, likely shared to the page of Kendrick Lamar’s lover Whitney Alford. In the song, Drake drives home that she slept with Free and questions who really is the father of Lamar’s son.

Additionall, Drake continues to state Kendrick Lamar has committed domestic violence and he planted the information used by Lamarr in his diss. Specifically, that he has an 11-year-old daughter.

Drake also spent a large amount of the song shooting down allegations of being a pedophile:

I never been with no one under age but now
I understand why this the angle that you really mess with
Just for clarity, I feel disgusted I’m too respected
If I was fucking young girls, I promise I’d been done arrested
I’m way too famous for this shit you just suggested, but that’s not the lesson, clearly there’s a deeper message

Disturbing Metro Boomin Tweets Resurface Amidst Drake Battle

May 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Metro Boomin instigated the great rap war of 2024. He pitted Drake against Kendrick Lamar, and the endless torrent of diss tracks since have been amazing. Lamar looks as though he won, or is at least winning, thanks to serious accusations he made about Drake’s personal life. Metro co-signed a lot of what Lamar said on songs like “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.” Unfortunately for the producer, his social media footprint is not spotless. Metro is currently running the “BBL Drizzy” challenge on social media, but that hasn’t stopped X users from digging up some questionable Metro tweets.

Most of the tweets that have gone viral were posted between 2009 and 2014. They may reference to being with underage girls, which is exactly what Drake has been accused of. Some tweets have been deleted, but screenshots have been taken and collected on IG. “I’m tweeting via web like a f**king child molester,” the producer tweeted in June 2012. Another one sees him liken himself to a “pedophile” at a grocery store. “Walking through the grocery store with both hands in my khakis,” he wrote. “Like a true pedophile tho.”

Metro Boomin Joked About Grooming Underage Girls

These posts mostly come off as jokes, but a surprising amount of them have been unearthed. The 2014 tweet reading “She might be young but she ready” has gained lots of attention in particular, with many fans criticizing the producer for making light of grooming. There’s also a bizarre number of tweets that are aimed at Rihanna. Metro Boomin repeatedly makes fun of the pop star and her domestic abuse past with Chris Brown. He retweeted a 2009 post that read: “Chris Brown’s album Graffiti is already outselling Rihanna’s album… he just can’t stop beating her.” He also retweeted a 2013 post claiming that anybody who liked Rihanna’s music was a “thot.”

Metro Boomin worked with Rihanna on the song “Faded.” Things get even more complicated, though, when considering the fact that Metro enlisted the father of Rihanna’s children, ASAP Rocky, on his album to diss Drake. Rocky, and by extension, Rihanna, have been associated with Metro’s side of the rap war. These tweets could greatly complicate matters. Metro has been caught deleting tweets before. He went through and got rid of anything that praised Drake after fans went digging, but these latest discoveries are going to be harder to dismiss.

Uncle Luke Wants To See A Drake And Chris Brown Rap Battle

May 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Uncle Luke has cast a large shadow on hip-hop as a whole. His influence can be directly linked, however, to the music of Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Luke’s name was referenced in the Drake-assisted song “Pop That” from 2013. Kendrick Lamar also rapped about getting a girl loose “like an Uncle Luke anthem” on 2011’s “Sherane aka Master Splinter’s Daughter.” A decade later, and these two are embroiled in one of the biggest rap battles of all time. Uncle Luke has takes on the battle, and they may just surprise you.

Uncle Luke, born Luther Campbell, came out as pro-Drizzy. He gave Lamar his props, but the 2 Live Crew rapper claimed that Drake was “undefeated” when it comes to rap battles. “Kendrick ain’t gonna stop until he win one round,” he stated. “He’s not gonna stop. He gonna stay in the studio all night… But I’m telling you that Drake. Drake is like undefeated. Drake been doing it for a minute. He be bodying people, man.” The praise continued from there, with Uncle Luke noting that in order to get the title, a rapper has to go at the 6 God.

Uncle Luke Claims That Drake Is “Undefeated”

The 2 Live Crew rapper made reference to the Meek Mill battle, but things really took an unexpected turn when he described the next battle he’d like to see Drake get involved in. He thinks it would be fun to see the Toronto go to war with Chris Brown on the basis that both are “undefeated.” Uncle Luke gave Breezy the W in the Quavo battle. “Drake been doing it for a minute,” he added. “He ain’t running from no smoke… It’s gonna take some Chris Brown or something. Drake vs Chris Brown.”

Drake and Brown certainly had periods where a battle would have been possible. They hated each other for nearly a decade. The thing is, the two men have set their differences aside in recent years. They had a monster 2019 single together, “No Guidance.” There’s also the fact that Drake and Brown got involved in their respective battles because there was personal animosity towards the other rappers. They didn’t just do it for the sport. Both of these points are going to deprive Uncle Luke of the battle that he wants to see. Even if Drake appears done with K. Dot.

Ice Cube’s Son Questions If Drake Forfeited Kendrick Lamar Battle

May 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A lot happened on May 3. The battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar had been pretty evenly played up to that point, but the latter snatched the lead. He dropped 3 diss tracks against Drake in the span of 36 hours, and all of them hit. Hard. Drake’s own diss, “Family Matters,” got lost in the shuffle, and when he was able to muster a response, “The Heart Part 6,” fans had already made up their minds. Lamar is the frontrunner to win, now, if he hasn’t already.

Drake and Lamar have been invested in this battle, but something has changed with the former. The 6 God seems gun shy, and O’Shea Jackson, Jr. has noticed. The actor and son of Ice Cube hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to reflect on the latest Drake diss. His conclusion? The rapper might have called it a day in the song’s lyrics. “Wait,” Jackson tweeted. “Did he just lowkey say he done with this? ….” The actor didn’t provide evidence, but a glance at the lyrics for “The Heart Part 6” definitely supports the theory.

O’Shea Jackson Jr. Fears That Drake Called It Quits

Wait. Did he just lowkey say he done with this? ….

— O’Shea Jackson Jr (@OsheaJacksonJr) May 6, 2024

The outro to the song sees Drake reflect on the battle in the past tense. He repeatedly talks about losing interest in the battle and moving on. “You could drop a hundred more records, I’ll see you later,” he raps. “Yeah, maybe when you meet your maker. I don’t wanna fight with a woman beater, it feeds your nature.” Drake also drops bars about not wanting to get into things unless Lamar plans on being “truthful” with his accusations. “Just let me know when we’re gettin’ to the facts,” he adds.

Jackson’s theory is further supported by Drake’s previous diss. “Family Matters” is a six-minute epic, but the second verse has the rapper claiming that he’s going on vacation. “I’m goin’ on vacation now, hope next time y’all plan it right,” he spits. “‘Cause you gotta pay for sayin’ my name, guess now n**gas understand the price.” Drake sounded like he wanted to be done on “Family Matters,” but taken in conjunction with the latest diss, and we may very well be looking at the end.

Drake is also in the difficult decision of having to wait on Lamar again. He’s technically the last person to respond, so if Lamar doesn’t drop again then he will effectively be declared the winner. Do you think he will come back? Or do you share O’Shea Jackson, Jr.’s concern?

Boosie Badazz Claims Drake Vs Kendrick Lamar Battle Went Too Far

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz has had plenty of rap battles. He spent most of the 2000s beefing with the likes of T.I. and Plies, even if he retroactively said him and Plies were on good terms. One would assume that he would be a fan of the current battle going on between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, but the Louisiana hitmaker feels the exact opposite. He got on social media on May 6 to criticize the way both rappers have handled the battle. He also went out of his way to criticize both of their fanbases.

The rant took place on X (formerly Twitter). Boosie kicked off his statement by claiming that too many fans are rooting in the downfall of Drake and/or Lamar. “I never seen so many men excited to see men tearing each other down thru music,” he wrote. “The men r more excited than the women lol.” Boosie went on to claim that fans have repeatedly asked him about his thoughts on the battle. Evidently, he’s getting tired of answering. He also said that he doesn’t want to see either rapper damage their hugely successful career.

Boosie Badazz Fears For Drake And K. Dot’s Safety

“Do y’all really want to see one of these great artist career done cause they lost a rap battle?,” he asked his followers. “Do y’all want all what they have done for hip hop overshadowed by rap beef. They talking about children, baby mommas, dirt, fiances, molestation, pedophiles, etc.” Boosie Badazz then widened the conversation and inferred the dangers that could potentially be awaiting Drake and Dot in the future.

He theorized that traveling to the other’s home city may be dangerous for both rappers, which is not something that should be encouraged. “I hope y’all don’t think these artist n crews snaking hands n smiling when they see each other,” he added. “Nobody go be safe n the next artist city. Not to mention when other artist start picking sides n getting involved smh that’s when sh*t get serious.” Boosie isn’t the only rapper who’s expressed their disappointment over the battle. Chuck D felt that Drake and Dot should be presenting a united front to the rest of the music world. The Public Enemy rapper went as far as to say the two of them should go on tour with J. Cole.

While a truce may be possible in the future, the vitriol Drake and Kendrick Lamar have shown towards one another makes it difficult to see any peaceful resolution happening soon.

Metro Boomin Uses “Life Is Good” Lyrics To Troll Drake On Instagram

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is in a tough spot. He spent the weekend getting bombed on by Kendrick Lamar via multiple diss tracks. He responded with “The Heart Part 6,” but the general consensus is that he’s losing the battle (if he hasn’t already). Metro Boomin is rubbing salt in the wound. He was the one who started the battle in the first place, when he asked Lamar to hop on “Like That.” Now, he’s taking a page out of the Drake playbook and trolling the Canadian rapper on social media. He’s even using the rapper’s own lyrics.

Metro and Future are riding high off the release of their joint albums WE DON’T LIKE YOU and WE STILL DON’T LIKE YOU. They are the current dynamic duo in hip-hop, and Metro commemorated this with pics of him and Pluto throughout the years. The caption on the Instagram post read: “Never turn my back on FBG, God forbid.” It doesn’t mean much out of context, but fans of the Drake and Future single “Life Is Good” know that Drizzy says this during his verse. “FBG” is a reference to Future’s label Freebandz.

Metro Boomin Used Drake’s Words Against Him

Metro is effectively dissing Drake on two different levels here. Firstly, he’s using these words to express his loyalty to Future and Freebandz. Secondly, he’s bringing this line back up to make fans realize that it’s no longer true from Drake’s perspective. Drake and the Freebandz crew are no longer cool, and based on the way things are going, they probably never will be again.

Metro Boomin has also been clowning Drake on the musical end of things. He released a beat called “BBL Drizzy” on Soundcloud, which, as one can guess, is a riff on Drake’s surgery rumors. Metro said that whoever makes the best song over it will get $10K and a free beat. This has led to the “BBL Drizzy” beat going viral, with rappers and musicians from all over the world taking a crack at rhyming over it. There have even been interpretive dances and guitar solos set to it.

Drake might have gotten Metro with “make some drums” line on “Push Ups,” but the producer may just get the last laugh.

Chuck D Thinks Drake And Kendrick Lamar Should Tour Together

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chuck D was one of the most controversial and combative rappers of all time during his prime. He had no problem taking it to anybody that criticized his message. That being said, the Public Enemy rapper is not one to promote division for division’s sake. He’s been watching the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle like the rest of the world, and while there are aspects he’s enjoyed, he’d prefer to see the two stars make up. Chuck D went as far as to suggest that they should reunite with J Cole and take the “Big Three” on tour.

Chuck D hopped on X (formerly Twitter) May 5 to set the record straight on the Drake vs. Lamar battle. He clarified that he was team Lamar, but felt that both men would be better serving the genre by banding together and presenting a unified front. He included J. Cole in his hopes. “These fantastic 3 rappers (I’m biased for KL) have songs that never will get this public attention,” he noted. “Hence this low hanging kid sh*t turns casuals heads.” Chuck D felt the best possible outcome for hip-hop fans would be a tour. “Get them all on a TOUR so we can pick seats,” he added.

Chuck D Thinks A Reconciliation Would Benefit Hip-Hop

The Public Enemy rapper also noted the difference between rap now and when he got into the game. He pointed out how he was considered “old” when he hit his 30s, yet Drake, Cole and Lamar are all pushing 40. “I didn’t make music for kids, but if they got it, it wouldn’t ROT them,” he explained. “When I turned 30, I was old in Rap. Same with 40, 50, 60. Now, with all going on in the world, 40 year olds asking me about 3 millionaire great rappers beefing.”

There have been lots of veteran rappers who have weighed in on the Drake vs. Lamar battle. Memphis Bleek voiced his support for Lamar, as did Rodney O from the duo Rodney O & Joe Cooley. Bun B didn’t pick a side, but he had a more positive take on the situation than Chuck did. He took to Instagram to say that as long as there isn’t violence involved, rap beef is entertaining for the fans. “Fans get more music done on a high level,” he asserted. “No one is physically hurt. Enjoy it! I know I am!”

Ice-T Dismisses Drake Vs Kendrick Lamar Battle As “Male Gossip”

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice-T doesn’t have time rap battles. At least, the one currently going on between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The rapper took to social media to give his two cents on the battle, given his own battle history, but he surprised many by expressing disinterest. Instead of picking a side, like so many other vets have, Ice-T dismissed the whole thing. He told his social media followers that he doesn’t have an interest in seeing two mainstream rappers engage in what he called “gossip.”

To be fair to T, he made it clear that he doesn’t care about any current rap battle. He’s got better things to do with his time, like appear on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. “I’m sorry if I’m not interested in current rap beef or random male gossip,” he tweeted. “I’m a hustler, I’m only focused on the bag.” This isn’t the first time Ice-T has been dismissive of a battle involving Drake. When the Canadian rapper was going at Meek Mill in 2015, Ice-T was extremely critical of his approach. He claimed that Drizzy’s “Back to Back” was a bad diss record because it was passive aggressive.

Ice-T Is Over The Concept Of Rap Beef

“That’s not a battle rap,” he said on Sway In the Morning. “A battle rap is like when Nas Ether’d Jay, you go in right at the first word you start dissing a ni**ga, you let a n**ga know right out the gate. It’s not out the side of your mouth, it’s not subliminal… That’s how women do it.” Conversely, Ice-T praised Kendrick Lamar during a 2013 Vibe interview. He called the rapper “dope” and claimed he was an old soul. “[He] came out of Dre’s camp,” T added. “And to get a pass from Dr. Dre you got to be dope.”

Ice-T’s perspective on rap battles have changed drastically over the years. He may not be interested in them anymore, but he was going back-and-forth with other rappers for decades. He dissed LL Cool J on his classic 1988 album Power. T also went after Soulja Boy back in 2008, claiming the “Crank That” star was “killing” the genre. Soulja responded by making run of Ice-T’s age in a YouTube video.

Ice-T has continued making music with his metal group Body Count, but he hasn’t drop a proper hip-hop release since Gangsta Rap in 2006. Like he said, he’s busy making that TV money.

Macklemore Attacks Joe Biden On Pro-Palestine Song “Hind’s Hall”

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Macklemore speaks his mind. The Seattle rapper has been lionized and villainized for discussing controversial topics in his music, but he’s stuck to his guns throughout his career. His latest single, “Hind’s Hall,” is perhaps his most controversial yet. Macklemore champions Palestine over the song’s three verses, and takes political leaders to task for not doing anything to aid its citizens. He goes as far as to call put Joe Biden, and tell him the President that he has “blood” on his hands.

The rapper doesn’t bother with entendres or hidden meanings. He comes out and plainly states how he feels about the current Palestine situation. He also notes the recent wave of student protests. “History been repeating for the last 75,” he raps. “The nakba never ended, the colonizer lied. If students in tents posted on the lawn, occupying the quad is really against the law.” From there, Macklemore criticizes the prioritization of profit over war, and the ways in which those in power benefit from prolonged struggles. “Who gets the right to defend,” he adds. “And who gets the right of resistance has always been about dollars.”

Macklemore Also Throws A Shot At Drake

HIND’S HALL. Once it’s up on streaming all proceeds to UNRWA. pic.twitter.com/QqZEKmzwZI

— Macklemore (@macklemore) May 6, 2024

Macklemore even makes reference to the ongoing Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. He points out how unimportant the battle is amidst real world conflict. “I want a ceasefire,” he raps aggressively. “F*ck a response from Drake.” The biggest diss, however is reserved for the President. The rapper says that he’s disappointed in Biden’s handling of the Palestine situation, and even the President that he no longer has his vote. “The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all,” he adds. “And f*ck no, I’m not voting for you in the fall.”

What are your thoughts on this new diss, “Hind’s Hall” by Macklemore? Is this is the best song Macklemore has released in years? Do you agree with his message? Do you think his comments about Joe Biden were accurate? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
