I thought this was going to be the conclusion (as of May 7th, 2024) of the Drake/Kendrick Lamar beef. But an important part of the most recent release in the feud is that Drake had written a Part 6 for a series of songs written by Kendrick Lamar. It's not good. But it's definitely an important part of the feud, and it hinges on knowing some of Lamar's "The Heart Part" songs. I decided to include 2-5 on this album, which includes an incredible but also incredibly long track by 24 Carat Black. So this album is already stretched to an hour, and I just couldn't justify going for another 45 minutes or so. So there will be a What Beef 5 posted later today. There aren't really many features on this album, as the actual Kendrick and Drake songs all came out in the last week, and they didn't have time to get collaborators. Also, if I were anywhere near this feud I would have also backed out this week. As Kendrick's songs get tighter and more specific, Drake's get limper and eventually, for all their personal barbs, they sound more like a white mom with no writing skills was writing an angry Youtube comment than the verse of a professional rapper with twenty years in the business. His song on this album is okay. But I don't think it's much of a surprise that he's not the rapper on this album that has a Pulitzer Prize and a bunch of Grammys. 1. Taylor Made by Drake 2.
