Kanye West Dismisses Drake’s Music: “Your Raps Don’t Mean Sh*t”

by

Drake can’t catch a break. He was already forced to fend off attacks from some of the biggest names in hip-hop, and now he has contend with the rapper he’s cited as his biggest influence: Kanye West. Drake and West have had a notoriously fickle relationship over the years, but the latter has once again declared war on the 6 God. He released a remix to “Like That,” on The Download, and used the podcast platform to claim that Drake’s career is “artificial.” He didn’t say industry plant, but he definitely made it seem as though Drake’s success has been more calculated than fans have realized.

Kanye West felt “Push Ups” was a boring diss song. Despite being widely praised by fans and critics, West felt the diss lacked punch because of who Drake has become. “Every bar that Drake said means nothing anymore,” the rapper claimed “Drop and give me 50, ain’t nobody gonna drop and do sh*t. Your raps don’t mean sh*t.” West has been critical of Drake’s extreme popularity in the past. He famously ranted about the radio play that the DJ Khaled and Drake single “For Free” received during a 2016 concert. He got more specific about why he felt this way, however, during the Download interview.

Kanye West Felt Drake’s Diss Was “Artificial”

The “Carnival” rapper claimed that Drake is the beneficiary of the industry. “[It’s] a bunch of middle men controlling the market,” he said. “There are middle men saying ‘this what diamonds cost’. And everybody running around. Drake, all this sh*t is artificial.” West’s remarks about Drake’s bars should be taken with a grain of salt, though, given that Drake has been credited (and occasionally uncredited) as a writer on several of the rapper’s hits. Drake wrote the chorus to West’s 2018 song “Yikes,” but was not officially credited because West’s team claimed they “forgot.”

Regardless of their prior collabs, Kanye West wants Drake gone. “That’s why gods had to come,” he asserted. “Pack that boy up.” In a previous Download clip, West said that he was excited to team up with Future and Metro Boomin on what he called the “elimination” of Drake. In his estimation, ruining Drake’s career is a professional as well as personal goal. “I’m tired of this guy f**king with me, so the fact that all these is coming together,” he added. “We gon’ tear the head off whoever they thought was in control.” Time will tell if West and company succeed.

Upon pressing play you will hear something that you wouldn’t expect, Tupac’s voice.The single opens with an AI Tupac verse requesting KDot stands up for the West Coast. It is followed by an AI Snoop Dogg asking for the same.

AI Tupac raps:
Fuck this Canadian lightskin, Dot
We need an undebated West Coast victory, man
Call him a bitch for me
Talk about him liking young girls, that’s a gift from me
Heard it on the Budden Podcast, it’s gotta be true
They told me the spirit of Makaveli is alive
In the nigga under five-foot five, so it’s gotta be you

AI Snoop added:
‘Cause right now it’s looking like you writing out the game plan on how to lose
How to bark up the wrong tree and then get your head popped in a crowded room
World is watching this chess game, but are you out of moves?

After that, Drake pops in for his own slick talk:
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
And if you ’bout to drop, she gotta approve

Since “Like That,” your tone changed a little, you not as enthused
How are you not in the booth? It feel like you kinda removed
You tryna let this shit die down, nah, nah, nah
Not this time, nigga, you followin’ through

He ends the song with a message, “I know you’re in that NY apartment, you struggling right now I know it.”

For years, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, has been entangled in a seemingly never ending feud with Drake. At one point, the pair appeared to put their differences aside. However, after Drake sampled Ye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian on his track “Search & Rescue” the temporary truce was voided.

After a few explicit clapbacks online, Ye has decided to take it to the recording booth. With Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Metro Boomin and Future‘s song “Like That” still gaining traction online, Ye jumped on the track to deliver several spicy bars of his on.

Yesterday (April 20), Ye dropped by The Download hosted by Justin Laboy to premiere his guest verse on “Like That.” On the song, Ye took aim at the deal Drake signed with Universal Music Group in 2022, rapping, “You caught a little bag for your masters, didn’t ya? / Lifetime deal, I feel bad for n****s.”

Continue to read the standout section of Ye’s verse, then listen to the snippet below.

“I done had everything that you able to got / I invented drill too, I ain’t gon’ lie, it was Chop / Ayy, another one, volume one /
Then it’s two and three, VULTURES on repeat / Still feel like Pablo, drug dealer chic / Pluto sent the drones, it hit like Metro beats / It’s a wrap for n****s / Where’s Lucian? Serve your master, n**** / You caught a little bag for your masters, didn’t ya? / Lifetime deal, I feel bad for n****s / Y’all so outta sight, outta mind / I can’t even think of a Drake line / Play J. Cole, get the p*ssy dry”

Drake Trolls Kendrick Lamar With Another Diss Song Featuring An AI-Generated Verses From Tupac And Snoop Dogg

Amongst fans, Drake is known by many nicknames, including the 6 God, Drizzy, Certified Lover Boy, and Champagne Papi. But the “First Person Shooter” rapper’s latest jab at Kendrick Lamar has users online calling him the technology tyrant.

Seemingly unsatisfied with the reaction to his first diss response (“Push Ups“) aimed at his longtime frenemy, today (April 20), Drake doubled back with “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

As he had hoped, the track quickly gained traction online, but not for the lyrics. Despite his extreme dislike for AI-generated verses, Drake dialed his petty notch up a level to formulate some bars for Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac.

On “Push Ups,” when Drake claimed to receive more love in Lamar’s hometown (Compton), folks laughed. So, Drake took it into his own hand to secure the co-signs from California’s biggest rappers, even if it is artificial. While most responses online aren’t in Drake’s favor, dubbing the move “clownish.” Others have applauded him for putting a spin on Lamar’s AI-generated onscreen cameos from stars the state proudly embraced (Nipsey Hussle, Kobe Bryant, and more) in the music video for “The Heart Part 5.”

Tupac’s estate hasn’t responded to having been inserted into the ongoing war of words between the emcees. However, Snoop surely had a good laugh at it. View his response below.

Drake Drops Official Kendrick Lamar Diss ‘Push Ups’ On Streaming Platforms

drake push ups tgj scaled

Whelp, it took about a week but Drizzy just dropped the studio version of his diss record “Push Ups” on all platforms as an official release. 

ICYMI or were under a rock, the 6 God first dropped the diss track as a leak last Saturday. Drake called out Lamar, and other major names, in a response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Like That” a diss mostly aimed at Drake, on Future and Metro Boomin’s first collab project, “We Don’t Trust You.”

Drake included official cover art for “Push Ups”, which shows a shoe-size that aligns with a bar on the record “How the fuck you big steppin’ with a size-seven men’s on?” he spits, referencing Lamar’s 2022 album title “Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers” and what Drake says is K Dot’s shoe size.

Drake’s rollout of “Push Ups” on Saturday (April 13) was unconventional as it was calculating. The first “leak” sonically felt unfinished featuring a sample of “Get Money,” the classic song from Junior M.A.F.I.A. feat. The Notorious B.I.G. (RIP). But hours later, a higher-quality version “leaked” with a different beat; sampled from “Give Me Fifty” a track from Mike Jones.

Even though the A.I. conspiracies came into the chat, Drake confirmed them after posting an image from the Tarantino movie Kill Bill on his IG Story @ChampagnePapi.

Not to rehash the entire beef, but most of ya’ll know the chain of events leading up to “Push Ups” including J Cole’ response to Lamar, and his shocking public back pedaling, live on stage where he basically apologized for dropping “7 Minute Drill” on his surprise album release, then his appearance on Future and Metro Boomin’s second collaborative project last Friday “We Still Don’t Trust You.” All that went down and now here we are. Drake responded and released the diss officially. It’s funny to say but we wonder if this release will chart. That wouldn’t be surprising for Drake and not his first time a diss record held down a Billboard spot.
