In the latest episode of The Need to Know Podcast, the hosts unravel a story steeped in lyrical prowess, strategic feuds, and artistic collaboration. The spotlight is on Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, and Drake, with fan theories swirling around the unreleased Clipse song “Chains and Whips.” Here’s a closer look:
Last year, Pharrell Williams, creative director of Louis Vuitton, unveiled “Chains and Whips” at a fashion show. Fast forward to now, fans have noticed copyright alerts on platforms like TikTok hinting at a feature by Kendrick Lamar, setting the hip-hop community abuzz with anticipation.
This isn’t Kendrick and Pusha T’s first collaboration, but the timing and context make this one significant. Fans speculate whether the track will be a lyrical showcase or a direct shot at their shared rival, Drake. The hosts explore how Pusha T’s history of calculated diss tracks, including “The Story of Adidon”, could lay the foundation for Kendrick to deliver another devastating blow.
Drake’s history with Pusha T and Kendrick Lamar takes center stage as the podcast dives into key moments of the rivalry. From Pusha’s scathing diss tracks exposing Drake’s personal life to Kendrick’s subtle jabs in the past, the possibility of a new collaboration intensifies speculation about whether Drake is once again in the crosshairs.
The debate heats up as the hosts discuss whether “Chains and Whips” could elevate the beef or oversaturate it. Some argue the feud risks becoming repetitive, while others believe Kendrick and Pusha’s combined artistry will deliver a timeless track.
Anticipation is high, with predictions that the track will ignite intense discussions across the hip-hop landscape. The hosts reflect on the duo’s ability to craft incisive critiques while maintaining their status as elite lyricists.
