“Kendrick has been vaulting it for 4 years”: Another Bad News for Drake and His Fans as Kendrick Lamar Gets Ready to Drop Another Diss Track
Kendrick Lamar is regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time and became the first musician outside of the classical and jazz genres to earn a Pulitzer Prize for Music. Lamar’s music has included political criticism and social commentary, which, according to publications, have influenced a rise in social consciousness among people.
Time Magazine listed the musician as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2016. Lamar’s concert tours—2017’s Drama Tour and 2022’s Big Steppers Tour—are regarded as the highest-grossing rap tours in history. Tupac Shakur has been the biggest influence on Kendrick Lamar, both personally and professionally. Lamar’s feud with Drake and J. Cole has garnered attention, and a recent claim by Akademiks notes that Lamar is coming for Drake.
Kendrick Lamar reportedly vaulting a diss track for Drake ‘for 4 years’
Kendrick Lamar took a direct aim at Drake and J. Cole last month with his guest verse on Like That. The track features on the new Future and Metro Boomin’s album titled We Don’t Trust You, in which Lamar asserts that there are no ‘big three’ but it’s just big him.
Later in the verse, according to Variety, Lamar comes for the quality of the music, stating that his legacy is going to outweigh their influence. The humble musician compared himself with Prince while calling Drake Michael Jackson, noting that Prince outlived Michael Jackson.
This is not the first time Kendrick Lamar has stirred up controversy; back in 2013, he appeared on Big Sean’s Control, featuring Jay Electronica. Lamar ran down a list of rappers, mentioning that while he has love and respect for all of them, he sees them as competitors and intends to bring them down.
According to Rap-Up, a record surfaced online directing shots at Lamar, Future, Rick Ross, The Weeknd, and many more. The song online made fans wonder if it was real or AI-generated, as it seems like a response from Drake to Lamar’s Diss track. Drake promptly took a dig at Cole, who recently dropped a track in response to the diss track by Lamar and then decided to remove it. The song is titled Push Ups and Drake later seemingly confirmed the legitimacy of the track.
NFR Podcast’s X account reported that Akademiks mentioned that Lamar already has a diss track ready for Drake to add.
“Kendrick Lamar has been vaulting it for four years.”
Not much has been mentioned about the alleged diss track but it has definitely stirred up the conversation once again. It has been reported that Lamar’s verse on Like That has been one of the most noteworthy moments from the album of the highly anticipated collaborative project between Future and Metro Boomin.
J. Cole apologizes to Kendrick Lamar; removes 7-Minute Drill
Cole has respectfully made his way out of Lamar and Drake’s feud as he decided to take down the track 7 Minute Drill from his recently released album Might Delete Later. Cole, during the Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, said,
“I’m so proud of Might Delete Later, except for one part. It’s one part of that s**t that makes me feel like a man; that’s the lamest s**t I did in my f***king life, right? The past two days have felt terrible. It let me know how good I’ve been sleeping for the past 10 years.”
Cole further apologized for the misstep he took and asked for forgiveness to get back on his true path. The musician concluded by asking the audience at the Dreamville Festival about Kendrick Lamar being one of the greatest to ever touch a microphone. His question was met with cheers from the audience.

In the track, the artists referred to themselves, including Lamar, as the big three of rap, and Lamar, in his response, replied with his verse on Like That.
Cole announced that he’d remove 7 Minute Drill from streaming services.
