Drake vs Kendrick Lamar is the biggest beef in recent rap history. It’s a fight that’s gone miles beyond the usual lyrical martial artistry, though there has certainly been plenty of that. It has spurred multiple court actions and a stunning rebellion against their shared record label.

Kendrick Lamar will "put rap culture on the forefront, where it needs to be" during his performance at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, he said Thursday in New Orleans.

Kanye West has declared himself the only rapper capable of defeating Kendrick Lamar in a rap battle. In a recent interview with Justin Laboy, Ye praised Lamar's lyrical prowess but insisted his own “psycho genius” mindset sets him apart.
