Rapper World Beef

In the world of hip-hop, drama, and feuds have always been a common occurrence. However, the recent tension between Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Metro Boomin, and J. Cole has taken things to a whole new level. It all started with Kendrick Lamar’s subtle dig at Drake in his guest verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That.” What seemed like a simple lyric quickly escalated into a full-blown feud that has captured the attention of the entire rap world.

Cole, who has had a close friendship with Kendrick Lamar for years, surprisingly decided to get involved by recording a diss track aimed at Lamar. However, just as quickly as the track was released, J. Cole retracted it and publicly apologized to Lamar. This move was unexpected in the world of hip-hop, where diss tracks and beefs are usually taken very seriously.

Drake, known for his quick wit and sharp lyrics, didn’t take long to respond to the situation. His track “Push Ups” leaked last weekend, causing a frenzy among fans who were eager to hear his side of the story. The song was officially released on streaming services, and it didn’t disappoint. Drake’s clever wordplay and clever jabs at his opponents were evident throughout the track.

Not one to be outdone, Rick Ross also decided to throw his hat into the ring by releasing a brutal diss track aimed at Drake titled “Champagne Moments.” Ross claimed to have recorded the track the same day Drake’s song leaked, adding fuel to the fire of this already intense feud. Amidst this conflict, fans find themselves split, with some relishing the verbal fight while others want a peaceful end. The atmosphere is tense, as each artist strategizes their next step fully aware of the intense scrutiny awaiting their every word.

With so much drama and tension surrounding these four artists, it’s hard to predict what will happen next. Fans are eagerly awaiting Kendrick lamar’s response to Drake and Rick Ross, wondering how he will address the situation. While it may be entertaining to speculate on the motives behind the beef, it is important to remember that at the end of the day, it is the music that truly matters. One thing is for sure, thai feud has brought a new level of excitement and anticipation to the world of hip-hop, and fans can’t get enough of it, especially myself.

Hey Royals! My name’s Amity and I’m a senior. I very much look forward to being the Editor-in-Chief, writing for and leading the school newspaper. This is my second year of Journalism, and I’m excited to make this year in Journalism the best I can. I’m vice president of the IB program, which is very hard on me because it’s time-consuming and academically challenging, so Journalism provides an opportunity for a fun break. I’m an officer for many clubs and on the track team (I love to run). I’m captain of the Bollywood dance team and love to represent my culture. I’m both scared and excited for this year because of my workload and college applications, but I also look forward to my senior year. Although I’m not looking forward to senioritis, I hope to pull through and have fun during my last year at Quartz Hill. Some of my hobbies are listening to music, ballet, shopping, running, doing my makeup, and, obviously, watching Netflix. I look forward to all the new memories I’ll make this year!
