Big Daddy Kane Blames Fans For Making Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Feud “Unenjoyable”

Big Daddy Kane hasn’t been keeping up with Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing feud and says the fanbases have made it “unenjoyable.” He discussed the battle of diss tracks during a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, explaining his issues with the situation. Each artist has dropped several songs in the time since Lamar kicked things off with his verse on “Like That,” back in March.

“I was trying to keep up with the Kendrick and Drake thing but I kinda lost interest,” the legendary rapper admitted. “It just wasn’t exciting to me — not because of them two, but because of the fanbase. The fanbase just made it to where, I’m good.”

He continued: “It’s not a competitive thing about who spit the better bars. It’s a thing about fact-checking to see if this person told the truth. It’s like, if the line is dope and he dissed you, it’s dope, it’s that simple […] Why are we trying to critique and decipher what was said? It’s just a dope rhyme. Enjoy the music, man, for what it is. It just wasn’t for me. It’s not about Kendrick or Drake; it’s the fanbase, the listeners and their comments and their views. They make it unenjoyable for me.” Check out Kane’s full comments on the situation below.

Rapsody Argues Kendrick Lamar’s Strategy Won Him The Battle Over Drake

Rapsody reflected on Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s recent feud during a conversation on The Joe Budden Podcast on Monday. In doing so, she and Budden discussed how Lamar’s strategy in the beef helped him come out on top.

The conversation began with Budden suggesting that Lamar’s “6:16 in LA” diss is the most underrated from the battle. “It was so smart,” Rapsody said. “Drake, he swung back. I didn’t think it was enough. But he swung back. I wasn’t mad at the swings. But whatever he could’ve said, Kendrick was so strategic. He swallowed that sh*t up so fast because he responded so fast. And then he hit you with a banger.”

Rapsody added: “It’s just tough. You gotta study the art of war. Everybody like, ‘He got three weeks.’ I was like, ‘He in there cooking over and over and over again.’” From there, Budden joked about Drake fans getting impatient waiting for a response to “Push Ups” from Lamar. Rapsody then mentioned how long Nas took to respond to JAY-Z’s “Takeover” with his own iconic diss, “Ether.” Check out the full conversation below.

Rapsody Speaks On Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Feud

It’s not the first time Rapsody has spoken on the beef. When J. Cole was still involved, she discussed her two former collaborators during an appearance on The Bootleg Kev Podcast. It came shortly after Cole’s infamous apology at the Dreamville Festival. Of that decision, she said: “He’s a man. He made his decision. But if I’m just speaking from me? If I’m in that position? I love this – the spirit of what this is, the sport of what this is.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Rapsody as well as Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud on HotNewHipHop.

DJ Akademiks Warns “Washed Up” Meek Mill To “Hang It Up”

DJ Akademiks shared a warning for Meek Mill on Twitter, complaining that the Philadelphia rapper tweeted about him despite having him blocked. Meek had been venting about the current media landscape in a series of posts when he wrote: “They all post bad about me because I don’t pay none of them.

Uncle Luke Reflects On Failure To Broker Peace Between Biggie & 2Pac: “It Was A little Too Late”

Uncle Luke recently recalled trying to help squash the infamous beef between 2Pac and Biggie during its height in the 1990s. Speaking with fans on Instagram Live recently, he said he once attended a concert with Biggie, during which the crowd trolled him by requesting 2Pac songs.

“I remember when 2Pac and Biggie had the beef going on. Now, mind you, I tried to get in the middle of it and squash it,” he said, as caught by Live Bitez. “I kinda cooled it off, but it was a little too late. Outside people got involved. Man, I remember going to St. Louis doing a show with Biggie. I went on before him and by the time he got to the stage, them people were screaming ‘2Pac.’ They was singing 2Pac songs. That is the most discouraging thing when you in a battle, when you in the heat of a battle on tour, that people would go to the stadium and don’t even wanna hear your songs.”

Biggie and 2Pac’s beef was one of the most infamous in hip-hop history. The two, along with the East Coast and West Coast respectively, went at one another throughout the ’90s. The two rappers were both killed in drive-by shootings within six months of each other. Check out Uncle Luke’s recollection of the feud below.

Azealia Banks Says Kendrick Lamar’s “D*ck Is Trash,” Labels Him The “Most Boring Rapper Ever”

Azealia Banks went off on Kendrick Lamar on Instagram, Sunday night, labeling him the “most boring rapper ever.” Discussing his feud with Drake, she argued that he made no interesting points across his several diss tracks. She also brought up Rick Ross and Kanye West for feuding with the Toronto rapper.

“Kendrick’s d*ck is wild trash,” she wrote in the caption. “Everybody gotta stop acting like all the rap n****s don’t have work done. Kanye has the biggest apple bottom in hiphop history. Rick Ross (I love u) but u have horrible veneers, had a gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, AND ARE STILL SELLING ALCOHOL?!?! you could have just called me I would have fixed it for you the natural way. This is ultimately all about Kendrick’s short man short d*ck insecurities. Why call Drake a pedophile when 17 is the legal age of consent, and in many states, it’s 16!!! Why isn’t Kendrick calling about Biden whose daughter revealed that he would come into the shower with her at NINE YEARS OLD, for using his song for political promotion? Yall stupid if u think any points were made.”

It’s not the first time Banks has commented on the viral beef. Earlier this month, she shared an article from Billboard suggesting that Lamar’s track, “euphoria,” was worth the wait. In response, she remarked “No it was not!” and declared Drake the winner. “Kendrick is still 4’9″ and wears the same jean size as me,” she said. “No one on earth cares about the feelings of small fake gangsta nepo babies. @billboard y’all really are paid for. Even the tone and timber of Kendrick’s voice is an ultimate defeat. LOL STOP LYING. And that beat Kendrick is rapping on is dumb trash and the mix is muddy as hell. Quit the bulls**t. Drake won.
