Future, Rick Ross and Kanye West are among those currently being drawn into one of the fieriest disputes in rap history. Is it good for the culture – and could it depose Drake from the top?
ne rapper is accused of being derivative while another is mocked for his height. This jibe leads another to join in and accuse the taller man of having buttock implants. A fourth man decides to join in, but quickly retracts his comments for the sake of an easier life. And so it goes on, a feud labelled as a “civil war” in US rap, despite many of the lyrics leaning towards playground-level insults.
This unprecedented multi-person slanging match began in March, when Lamar made a guest appearance on Like That, the raucous No 1 single from producer Metro Boomin and rapper Future’s collaborative latest album We Don’t Trust You. On the title track to We Don’t Trust You, Future accused Drake of “acting like a fed” amid rumours of them sharing lovers, and Cole’s own offering was 7 Minute Drill, which insinuated that Lamar’s career had “fallen off like the Simpsons”. But he swiftly pulled it from streaming platforms, saying that dissing “didn’t sit right with my spirit”, he said.
