Shannon Sharpe brought up the viral feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake during a recent interview with John Cena on Club Shay Shay. In doing so, he explained why he feels Lamar won the beef, which prompted the WWE legend to reveal he hasn’t listened to hip-hop in many years. “I know nothing about this,” Cena admitted. “All I know is the headlines. I’m the one person, the one breathing human being who did not hear bar one of this beef. I haven’t heard any music, any tracks, nothing, so this is all new to me. Who won?”
Sharpe began by bringing up Lamar’s diss track, “Not Like Us.” “They play it all the time,” he said. “There’s not gonna be a football game, a basketball game, or anything that you go to where the home team is winning where you’re not gonna hear, ‘They’re not like us.’ Kendrick won. Isn’t it the most-played diss in history already? I think it’s the biggest song this summer.”

From there, Cena explained that Drake is one of the last rappers he remembers listening to before he moved away from his interest in hip-hop. “I kinda drifted away from hip-hop right around Drake and I always thought Drake is extremely talented,” he said. “Again, I love wordplay. I think his stuff is very well thought out, I think he’s very poetic, I like the way he adds music into the songs. I don’t have enough depth of field to evaluate anybody current. He was like the last one where it becomes fade to nothingness.”
