Following the conclusion of the beef with Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole dropped new verses that have left fans underwhelmed.
They did a lyrical breakdown of J Cole’s verse in the remix of “Dunk Contest”, a song by Cash Cobain which they called “Grippy”. SOUND mentioned that the Drake and Kendrick beef will have an effect on culture where people would pay closer attention to lyrical quality and dissect every word. However, the timing of J. Cole’s verse likely amplified the negative reception.
Drake’s new verse after the beef also gathered negative comments. In his verse, on Sexyy Red’s track, Drake raps about buying women Brazilian Butt Lifts. People online think this verse is bad as well. Marloon explored the possibility of a future collaboration between Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J Cole in the upcoming years for a project or a song, suggesting alternative song placements for their recent verses on “Grippy” and “U My Everything”. Would these hypothetical pairings have resonated well with the fans?
