The beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake isn’t just your garden-variety rap rivalry; it’s like the Super Bowl of hip-hop drama! Picture this: a decade’s worth of lyrical jabs, social media skirmishes, and a spotlight shining on two of the biggest names in the game. Everyone’s got an opinion—from casual listeners to seasoned veterans—and the debate rages on about who truly reigns supreme. Just when you think things might cool down, along comes Rubi Rose, throwing a wild card into the mix by declaring Drake the champ. But wait, could we really be overlooking Kendrick, the virtuoso with bars that hit like a freight train?
Oh, and the plot thickens! Hitta J3, a loyal soldier in Kendrick’s camp, jumps in to call out Rubi’s hot take, stoking the flames of this epic feud even further. Are we in for another year of this showdown, reminiscent of Shakespearean tragedies with all the back and forth? You can bet your bottom dollar we’re here for it! So grab your popcorn, because this saga promises to entertain and provoke thought long before any victor is crowned. Let’s dive into the intricacies of the ongoing debate and what it says about our hip-hop culture today!
Overall, the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef has proven to be one of the biggest events in the entire history of hip-hop. Everyone has been commenting on it in one way shape or form. Regardless of stature in the rap game, there are plenty of artists who have an opinion on who won, and who got embarrassed. Even though some believe Kendrick won, there are others who simply cannot fathom declaring him to be the better overall artist. Following decades of hits, fans and artists alike still give Drake that edge and benefit of the doubt.
One such person is none other than Rubi Rose, who curiously took to social media this weekend to declare Drake as the winner. Although she did not comment on the bars, she simply claimed Drake had the better songs. She felt as though people needed to be convinced that Kendrick Lamar was better, and she simply was not buying it. Ultimately, these comments made a few people upset. Subsequently, she got a public message from Hitta J3, who never shies away from Kendrick-related discourse.

“Tell @RubiRose stop faking like she wasn’t pullin up to dot concert in LA she know she been A Fan of Gang too,” Hitta J3 wrote. For those who may not know, Hitta J3 is an Los Angeles-based artist who has worked with Kendrick closely for many years. He was also featured on the title track of Kendrick Lamar’s number one album, GNX. Some have lamented that Hitta has been too quick to defend K.Dot online, although he would probably disagree with that.
If anything, all of this shows that the beef is still at the top of everyone’s minds. We are coming up on one year since Lamar dropped off his “Like That” verse. Overall, it is hard to fathom that it has been that long. In May, we will be up on a year since the climax of the beef. Yet somehow, there are still jokes being made about it all at the Oscars. Drake is still getting clowned at the Super Bowl. Overall, Kendrick Lamar has struck a cord. And no, we’re not going to make the obvious joke here. Either way, this is not going to end anytime soon.
