As we dive into the cosmos of tonight’s highly anticipated release of ICEMAN, I can’t help but wonder—does the positioning of the stars see a beef rekindled in the music realm? Drake’s back with a bang, serving not just one, but three albums, all while aiming arrows at the notoriously elusive Kendrick Lamar. Fans knew there’d be some lyrical sparring, but who would’ve foreseen the explosive trio of HABIBTI, MAID OF HONOUR, and the fiery ICEMAN? In this musical showdown, Drake’s not just spitting bars; he’s addressed the world with a cosmic shoutout to all the K-Dot subs buried in each track. The stars might have aligned for a dramatic night, but as our lyrical heavyweight takes aim, will Kendrick’s silence echo louder than Drake’s wrath? Buckle up, because this album might just change the way we perceive their long-standing rivalry, and who knows, maybe even align their energies in unexpected ways…
Going into tonight’s ICEMAN release, fans knew that there would be some shots taken at Kendrick Lamar. What fans weren’t expecting was three whole albums. The first album is HABIBTI, which is an R&B effort. From there, Drake gives us some international club songs on MAID OF HONOUR. Lastly, you have ICEMAN, which is where you will find all of the shots taken at Kendrick Lamar.
If you have listened to the album, then you know that there are a lot of K-Dot subs. It almost feels as though every single ICEMAN song has at least one. Drake’s clearly still hurt about how the beef played out, and he is letting the fans know it.
For instance, on the song “Dust,” Drake raps, “What was the year you said you had slaps, cause I don’t remember it going like that, I don’t remember one word of your raps.
Furthermore, he claims Kendrick’s fanbase is just a bunch of white kids with guilt in their hearts. “White kids listen to you cuz’ they feel some guilt, and thats how your soul get fulfilled, handing out turkeys on camera inside of your hood then you go back to the hills,” Drake rhymes.
Later in the album, Drake addresses the failures of the Big Three, rapping “F*ck a big three anyway there was too many chefs in the kitchen, it was a mess to begin with.”
There were other instances where Drake made reference to the botting allegations against Kendrick Lamar. The artist even dismantled what appeared to be a bot farm in his ICEMAN Episode 4 broadcast.
Eventually, Drake started dissing the West Coast more broadly. For instance, on the song “2 Hard 4 The Radio,” Drake makes it a point to use a West Coast beast and tell Kendrick that people in Oakland love him.
He then takes aim at Mustard. “Mustard heard about us, gotta catch up to the slaps, You ain’t had one since me and YG rapped,” Drake said. “Facts, nine-hundred million for the tracks, Rack City, b*tch, we remember that, yeah, you should try and get back to that.”
So there you have it, Drake is still upset at Kendrick Lamar. Whether or not his bars will sway public opinion, is something that remains to be seen.
