This seems too much like the rapper's 2016 collaboration with former girlfriend Rihanna, complaining that "the only time you see me, is when you turn your head to the side and look at me. He doesn't stop there, though, sampling the chorus of JLo's If You Had My Love in another song, including lyrics like: "You're to blame for what we could have been, 'cause look at what we are."

"I drunk text JLo, old numbers so I bounce back, Boy Wonder gotta bounce back." He got his own interlude, which candidly addresses his inferiority complex and insecurities (he calls himself a “suicidal terrorist”), but it also takes some sly shots at Drake-on his own album.After years crying over a failed relationship with Rihanna, Drake is now addressing his supposed fling with Jennifer Lopez, by describing a scene where she purposely changes numbers to avoid his texts. Later that year when Take Care dropped, Kendrick’s appearance didn’t feel so much like a feature but a move to hijack the whole album. For the two seconds that Kendrick is in the video, though, you sense an unease and eagerness about him. There’s a telling backstage video that shows he and Rocky basking in each other’s glow, with the latter soaking up the co-sign. Two years ago, Drake brought a then up-and-coming Kendrick and A$AP Rocky out on the Club Paradise tour. It’s reminiscent of Nas’ 2001 “Stillmatic” freestyle, which didn’t mention Jay Z by name (though Jay had done that to Nas at Summer Jam just before), but was unquestionably aimed at him and allowed the beef to continue. "I don't know why they been lying but your shit is not that inspiring Bank account statements just look like I'm ready for early retirement Fuck any nigga that's talkin' that shit just to get a reaction Fuck going platinum, I looked at my wrist and it's already platinum I am the kid with the motor mouth I am the one that you should worry about I don't know who you're referring to, who is this nigga you heard about?" Considering that Drake is the guy who once said, “Diss me and you’ll never hear a reply for it”, this reaction turned heads. My thing is I like lasting power." He also said he wouldn’t collaborate with Kendrick again. It was a good moment, but at the end of the day it’s just like-it was one of those sort of like fleeting Twitter frenzies that like-it was cool for what it was. "I’m probably like as done as the rest of the world is with that record," he said. In a Power 106 interview, he painted the "Control" verse as a cheap gimmick. In the wake of the "Control" verse, Drake hasn’t shown Kendrick much respect if anything, he’s dismissed him as a lightweight barely worthy ofhis attention. But more importantly, these two are also hitting their respective artistic strides simultaneously. Kendrick’s last album went platinum and had a number of hit singles, which makes him a competitor on a commercial level. Still, the only truly formidable opponent of the MCs he called out-simply because he’s the only one with a bigger buzz than Kendrick-is Drake.Ĭonsidering that his third album, Nothing Was the Same, just sold 658,000 copies in one week, it’s safe to say that Drake is the most successful young rapper out right now.
