Is Drake’s Kendrick Lamar Diss Track Real, or Is It AI?
Friends, I regret to announce that we’ve reached a new, uniquely annoying era when it comes to celebrity beef. Either Drake just fired back at Kendrick Lamar with a new diss track, or AI has gotten so good that we’ll never be able to bask in a leaked song again without wondering if it’s actually real.
It all started with Lamar’s guest verse on “Like That,” from Future and Metron Boomin’s March album We Don’t Trust You. Lamar’s bars took aim at both Drake and J. Cole—whose 2023 song collaboration “First Person Shooter” declared that they and Lamar are the biggest names in hip-hop right now.
While Cole rapped that “We the big three like we started a league, but right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali,” Lamar’s March verse countered, “It’s just big me. ...What? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack.”
