The Drake vs Kendrick beef was highly entertaining and no matter who you think won, you can’t deny that both artists dropped good stuff. What beef do you think could deliver the same level of quality and entertainment that Drake vs Kendrick did?
What beef in the future would be as fun for the fans as Drake/Kendrick was
DiscussionMy homie sent me a kids bop track that went over Kendrick’s diss tracks. Wildly hilarious the levels his diss tracks are reaching lol
Metro boomin making some drums and unleashing thousands of SoundCloud rappers on drake at once, over a sample about an extremely catchy sample about Drakes alleged Brazilian Butt Lift, is one of the most hilarious things that has a ever happened
PBS news had a segment on the beef. its crazy how hard it blew up
Biden used it against Trump
It’s whack once the man co-ops it
It’s amazing. Drizzler haters unite
I'd like to see Kanye become even crazier and beef with himself
Kanye vs Ye, which ends in a presidential debate where he walks back and forth across the stage while talking at himself with a moderator for two hours?
Liquid ye vs solid ye
Yeezy is the moderator as well. 3d chess mate
Old Kanye v New Kanye
We all find out Old Kanye recorded diss tracks against himself during an episode, sort of like Ron Swanson did with Tammy 2.
Celebrity Death Match really was the show that wrote itself.
I like the old Kanye
Kanye West - I Hate You (Kanye West Diss)
Honestly i could see this. Where he just starts talking about all the things he hates about himself and the ending is he starts talking about being a farther and a husband and he just starts crying ad the close.
I think it has the potential to be a really good track honestly. Kanye could do it lol
I feel that Kanye has gotten so crazy that any beef he has will just be seen as nothing that shocks us.
Back in his Yeezy days then the roof would've erupted.
Did you miss the whole part where he became a devout Christian and denounced his past, he’s literally beefing with his past self every couple years
I’d say don’t give him ideas but we know he’s already thought of this. He is a genius after all.
"fuck a rap battle, this a lifelong battle with yourself" is kind of the theme of Kanye's entire career
There probably won't be another one. These are two of the biggest hip hop artists of the generation. And what Drake has that a lot of other artists don't have in spades is hateability. People love clowning on Drake, and he's one of the biggest artists in history. It's like a match made in heaven for audiences.
Probably hate him because he’s a rapper that has people writing his shit
I feel the larger implications of this beef makes it a whole different level, we have very different artist’s representing two very different forms of rap and very different ideas about hiphop. It’s too big to think of another anytime soon
Closest I could think of is if JID and Travis Scott decided to hate each other
Travis can’t make a diss track. JID would dog walk him frfr
JID in a rap beef would definitely be interesting. I feel like he's the only notable artist under 40 that can keep up with Kendrick in terms of sheer rapping ability
JIDS not big enough
okay now im interested 🤣🤣
None, man. This shit has been growing for years. Kendrick been letting this beef boil and here we are.
Well we ate so where's dessert
Not for a while. Every generation has two of its biggest artists at odds. 90s had Pac and Big. 2000s had Jay and Nas. Now we have Drake and Kdot. For another rivalry this big to happen, some artists really need to pop off and stay big for a number of years
Correct Jay and nas with Eminem and ja rule. Not cause it wasn't big but because nas predates the 2000s by alot and wasn't the biggest of that gen
Ye vs Jay
Jay Z vs Ye
Possibly the only thing I can see being near this level. They would have unlimited tea on each other 🤷🏽♂️
This will probably be the last one for decades.
Maybe ever. Hopefully not. But probably so.
this feels like the last big rap beef. hip-hop has had a big issue with generating new superstars which is why all the biggest artists are from years ago. i think the only way this kind of moment is reproduced is if hip-hop has a crazy cultural resurgence/divergence from major labels and we get entirely new rappers that become extremely influential/important.
It's the last till the next one
who would the next one even be between???
People were saying the same thing 20 years ago about jay z and nas. Everyone thought hip hop was dead but it’s cyclical like most things
maybe. it just does feel EXTRA bad right now because we literally lost a whole generation of superstars to drugs/violence. i don't think hip-hop is dead but the fact is i haven't seen a new legitimate star come out of hip hop in what seems like ages.
And i'm starting seeing people compare the state of hip-hop to rock music. Maybe it'll follow rock footsteps like rock is heading toward jazz now. Not to mention hip hop is 51 years old now.
Most of the really great, interesting rock music right now is relatively unconventional because rock artists have been “freed” from the expectation to produce chart topping hits (Black Midi and Black Country New Road are two of the best examples). If mainstream hip hop is on the decline, hopefully we can at least get some great music out of the artists who come up with no expectations of producing big songs
My prediction is that it’ll be between women next. Whether they have widespread legitimacy among rap fans rn or not, there’s a significant wave of female rappers making waves and I could see there being a fight for who’s the best in a couple years where multiple of them have longer, more established careers. We’ve already seen some of it with Nicki Minaj but I’m thinking this pops off after she’s become irrelevant (some would argue she already is lol)
I cant see anyone surpassing drake or kendrick in any next generation
Could have been Pop Smoke & King Von tbh, but both are gone now
Hell no
Yeah I feel like the whole culture and industry is shifting so much, like there's not many new label pushed artists and those who are I don't see having much longevity, like sexy red for example. There's still a ton of great dudes out their but a lot of them aren't signed or have way better deals, I think people have just finally caught on and got fed up wi5h the industry and now just do their own thing which does kill something like this beef from happening again because people just don't have that many eyes on them and idk if any new rapper will.
Biggest stars are constantly dying or spend too much time in jail nowadays. Genre shooting itself in the foot
Something as entertaining like that is never happening again in the future. Rap doesn’t have anyone right now who could be as big as those two & have the skill that those two have.
Conway the Machine vs anyone would be hilarious for the fans, until it got scary serious. It would be a nightmare for his opponent.
Hmmm...
Now that I think of it, I've never seen Lil Wayne fully engaged. I've heard him make diss records or send shots, but then you look up and the next week he's made up with whoever he was dissing. Or he just doesn't engage at all.
A fully engaged Wayne vs. Conway would be amazing. Also I think it would be quite a bit scarier for Conway than Wayne.
Lemme get that Miley Cyrus vs T swift battle. Get Juicy J and DJ paul producing some gutter tracks for it.
Britney Spears vs Taylor Swift would be nasty
I really need Olivia Rodrigo or somebody to take Taylor down a peg the way Kendrick did Drake
In pure entertainment, going bar for bar. If for some reason JID and Vince Staples went at each other it could be amazing
Strictly bar for bar and being confident it would stay on wax, from an old head perspective Black Thought vs. Nas would be all time
Wud be sick, but I wouldn't want to see Nas go out like that. I like Nas too much and couldn't bear to watch
You think he'd lose? I kinda think he'd lose too. Kinda badly actually but it'd be a helluva show lol
Exactly what I was thinking
Wud love to see Vince reaction to this comment. That said, I wud see Vince just not caring enough to back and forth with anyone. And even if he did care, Vince is nowhere in the same league as JID skill wise or lyrically. It's a no contest any way u look at it. Staples and Glasses Malone maybe
Me and your mom
she got bars you don’t want none
earl sweatshirt and freddie gibbs
Earl wouldn’t beef
Freddie Gibbs is a tier above earl. I use to think Earl lost a step until I heard that ft he has with Danny Brown, now I know he just don't care no more but still can go
Can Freddie really get in a beef giving the whole spreadie Gibbs thing and getting beat up? His opponents have a lot of ammunition
Put JID in the ring I beg you
JID would be getting silly with it for sure
It’s honestly difficult for me to think of an equal opponent that would be able to stand against JID that is from the newer generation
I'd throw Denzel Curry in there and see what happens
I would love an album with Denzel Curry, JID, and Lil Yaghty. I feel like their constraining styles mesh well when they’ve featured on songs together
He’s friendly with all the good options so maybe some good beef comes around in the next decade
Have to be someone like Smino or Saba. Someone from that camp. Or KAAN. Joey Badass or Cordae
I don't think there's anyone at the moment who could bring up such an entertaining and good moment for hip-hop as both did (it doesn't matter who won). I just don't see a bigger rivalry forming.
Of course, time will flow, and we will see a new pair of rappers that will hate each other with the same passion. But, on this scale, this is something that is happening maybe once every 10 years.
All the new rappers that hate each other be wanting to literally kill each other
Uzi Vert vs. Carti 🏳️🌈
J. Cole vs Kanye. Chance the Rapper vs Chief Keef. Nicki Minaj vs Megan Thee Stallion. Taylor Swift vs Olivia Rodrigo.
We've been blessed with 2 of these
Who knows.
Diddy vs the Feds.
But other than that probably take 20-30 years to get something this hyped again.
You have to wait for true mainstream superstars to develop and get to where they are to reproduce this beef.
Nothing. This is two of the biggest artists in the past decade going head to head
I feel like any combination of a beef between Eminem, Wayne, and Ye would be crazy. All kinda from the same era, both big influences on the genre, and all cool with each other as far as I know, but it would be fun to see them go bar for bar. They have great backgrounds and connections in production so the beats would probably be amazing no matter what, so it would really come down to lyrics.
On the subject of the current beef, I think that a genuine battle between Kendrick and J Cole would be a lot of fun. I think Cole stepped out of the ring this time because he caught wind of what Kendrick was planning for Drake. But in a world where we just got to see those two go at it, we’d have a ton of fun and get some great music from both sides.
Cole wud embarrass Kendrick bar for bar. But it wud be fun. Black Friday is a sneak peek at how it might go. Kendrick low key knows he can't step wit Cole cause Everytime they are featured together Kendrick calls shotgun and does the chorus
There will never be a rapper as popular as Drake. There will never be a rapper as good as Kendrick to achieve that same level of popularity. So the only way to top this would be a round 2 lol
The commercial influence in this one really set it apart from all other rap beefs. Guys like Jack Dorsey were even involved. The internet bots and algorithms really left a lot of people not thinking for themselves
I hate to say it but I’m kinda worried there won’t be another get rap beef. Rap is just too profitable to keep it within the culture and fans nowadays
Hard to say.
This beef has not been healthy for major labels in the long run.
I think huge beefs will be highly monitored by the powers that be, and shut down before it gets too far to protect the profitability of the artists involved.
Only rappers that could beef In perpetuity would be underground/indies.
Quality wise, I can see Kendrick vs Cole giving some bars, which might not happen, but is still out there. I want them to battle for the game in a future where this shit ain't bogged down by all this baggage.
If not, at least have them do a Pokemon type battle with JID and Keem.
Kanye Vs Eminem would probably be one that can top it with Eminem just rolling over Kanye while Kanye fans delusionally claim Eminem actually got smoked.
The two most toxic fanbases
Kendrick Lamar vs Eminem.
This to me would be a more fair matchup in terms of lyrical ability. I’m sick of one-sided beefs.
It’ll take a while. The reason it was such a big deal is because Kendrick and Drake aren’t just popular rappers, they’re popular artists period. They’re both mainstream artists. The only way we could get something like this is if the Weeknd made actual diss tracks like how Kendrick did to Drake.
Killer Mike vs anyone
Travis Scott and Playboi carti
autotuned basic bars vs incomprehensible alien speak would go crazy
aingudabaldroeh dongivafukboununeh smoklikfukmalunseh
Entertainment only, Future vs. Ye would be can't miss kinda shit. Bars would be lacking tho
haha so unexpected but that would be hilarious
Bro so good lol two scumbags just going lower and lower lol
Also, this Kendrick beef, and Lupe taking out Royce so easily really makes me want that beef that never happened, to happen lol.
Even though I'm pretty positive I couldn't follow what either guy is talking about by the third song because they both go weird, it would be classic lol
Gucci Mane / Macklemore
ayo 😭
Killer Mike/R Kelly
DJ Khaled vs. literally every other Palestinian rapper, because he did an ad for Sabra hummus.
Snoop VS Wiz
Nooo lol they are too much of allies to go head to head like that
The next big rap battle is probably between rappers that are children right now
Prolly will be an A.I vs A.I type thing. Each from different companies. Dear Lord what have I done
usher and kanye would probably result in great music and similar child abuse allegations
Taylor swift v Kanye west
Nothing, these are the two best rappers of the era. We won’t have another beef in this level until we have two rappers of this level. I’m older - so whoever the nephews think are the best rappers today - if they continue to be amazing in a few years, that will be the same level.
Drake - Kendrick was Jay-Z - Nas level
Drake’s probably the biggest Hip Hop artist numbers wise and Kendrick is considered this generations greatest by a lot of people. There could be a beef between the number 2s of both respective categories but I can’t think of anyone who comes close. Cole VS Eminem? 🤷♂️😂
Travis/Rocky would entertain me 🤷🏻♂️
Eminem and Wayne, but it’s 2008 and they’re both still really good
NARDWUAR vs CHATGPT
ChatGPT is like Dr. Gero. Its missing all the data Nardwaur collected from Namek
I don't understand why people are saying nothing. It's just asking what future beef would be entertaining. I think if Ice cube got into beef with someone again would be super fun as no Vaseline is probably the best diss track of all time. Eminem stopped MGK career with kill shot as cube shut down nwa with no Vaseline. So I guess Eminem ice cube would be crazy.
No one will beef any more because they will release that 'you need to do ayohausca' cannot be topped as an insult, why try
Carti and I dunno who. Someone who can rap
I don't think we'll see another one this generation. There simply aren't two people of remotely the same size and cultural relevance to Duke it out, unless Taylor Swift starts beefing with Rihanna or something, but that's hardly likely
I mean, the next biggest modern beef I can remember is pusha/drake and this absolutely dwarfed that one. I'm not sure there's EVER been a more widely-followed rap beef because this one had social media to aid the prevalence.
I don't think it's a wild suggestion that this ends up as the "biggest" rap beef in history. And I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest it'll be at least another generation in hip-hop (10-15 years or so) before another one comparable in scope comes around
“Fun”, lol. Yeah, that’s one word to describe it 😪
There are many matchups that would produce as good or better diss songs, Benny the Butcher vs Freddie Gibbs being my personal pick since they have had issues before and they're both unbelievable rappers with way different styles.
But it's tough to think of a matchup of more popular/culturally relevant rappers that's more exciting than Drake v Kendrick. J Cole vs somebody would be in the conversation but he basically ruled that out for himself. Kanye has the popularity and atitude, but doesn't have the rapping ability to compete with anybody, especially these days.
There's no two rappers that combine good writing (in their diss songs) with popularity like Drake and Kendrick.
meek and 50 back and forth like kenny and drizzy would be hilarious
Danny Brown vs Childish Gambino
I'd like to see someone take another shot at Em, although he'd probably think it wasn't worth his time
I think were 10 years away from the next massive one. Not enough upcoming superstars for it.
In terms of quality I have no idea, but I know it would be absolutely hilarious to watch some of the new age rappers beef like lil nas, jack Harlow, sexy redd, or ice spice. The ridiculous bars that would come out of a beef like that would be meme material for the ages
A new crop of guys that have the staying power to last for over a decade and still be at the peak. It’s hard to imagine when it happens again
2046 Kanye beefs with mecha hitler.
I kinda just want a full Black Friday album:
- 10 songs (a for real, actual, album)
- 5 each
- poll the fans for the (challenge) beats
- no out-of-pocket insults
- intra label features only
Future and young thug,,, Gucci mane and literally anyone or maybe NBA, Migos, lil Uzi vert, nav
None are going to be as big as this battle, but I’d love to see JID and Joey Badass or ASAP Rocky get active
Which younger rappers will be as big as Drake or Kendrick? This might be the peak. Especially the context of this brewing for a decade, it doesn't get better. There will be beefs between smaller artists though I'm sure but unless you're into them it might be hard to get into. I'm always down for a rap battle on wax.
Billie vs Taylor
Freddie Gibbs and Conway the Machine
I can’t see any of these newer rappers having serious beef. Like what dababy va lil baby? Nursery rhymes war?
I don’t think we’ll see another beef like this for a while. The rappers that’ll make it happen probably aren’t even rapping yet lmao
Uzi vs. Jack Harlow would be interesting since they had a little beef on wax already.
Wayne vs Eminem
I’d like to see Lil Dicky beef with someone. I bet he would have some good fun with it.
These two are at the top of the game atm, so it would be really hard to see anyone else have a better rap feud.
Maybe like Travis Scott, and 21 savage. They’re both at their peak popularity they have ever been at, so it would be a decent one. But what made Kendrick/Drake special is they have had little challenges to eachother all along. I think Drake did more sneak dissing and Kendrick did a little more calling out over the years but they have always been at each other.
Future and young thug
The artists that would be involved in said beef are not yet in the public eye. I think it’s a once in a generation thing
Nobody saying the obvious answer which is The Game and Riff Raff
Awe shyt its the rap Brian Urlacher
Eminem vs 50
I don’t think there will ever be something bigger or as fun for a long time. It was a clash of titans. 2 of the biggest artists attempting to end the others career. This won’t happen again until Drake and Kendrick both fall off and are retired and the next 2 biggest artists start fighting
Nothing that i can think of currently, Chris Brown and Quavo are two big names but got pretty damn overshadowed by this lol
I aint never seen no shit like this
Ya this was once in a lifetime. Can’t wait for the documentary years from now hearing both sides from Drake and Kendrick. Drake still a fake ass and Kendrick grows old into some master yoda of Compton
I’d like to see Riff Raff vs Lil Yachty, freestyles only
This is the peak of Hip Hop imo, or at least the beginning of it’s downward turn in pop culture. No rappers seem to be able to come even close to accumulating the star power and acclaim of these two. And tbh I don’t really see anyone else doing it.
If Carti suddenly switched up on Uzi or Travis Scott and started beefing with them would be legendary, maybe that would motivate Carti to drop stuff more often.
There is nobody I want to see in a beef, honestly. This was the only one with a story attached that “mattered”.
If I had to pick someone I think could hand out a smackdown and would be very interesting at the same time, Royce 5’9. Of the new crop, I would also appreciate seeing JID get into it.
It would be fun to see J Cole get into something or perhaps see Eminem in the ring again, but truthfully I am not invested that beyond the event itself. This beef felt like it meant something to the trajectory of a long-running story in that wave of hip hop.
Ye would have been great to see in the mid 2010s. I think, at this point, even if he recovered his health and sanity, we’d all feel a little bad if he got into beef these days. He’s a genius talent and really deserves a peaceful close to his career. I want to see him get his mind right, make amends, drop a strong farewell album and spend the rest of his days in peace.
For me personally I'd say Kendrick vs Jcole. If Jcole never does the apology in the way that he went about it, I'm pretty sure this would be everyone's answer, which is part of the reason why I'm still pissed about it. Jcole and Kendrick going bar for bar on some friendly rap shit or whatever I feel like would be more interesting to listen too.
Otherwise I'm not sure. There just isn't any current group of artist on the rise right now that came up in the same way that Drake, Kendrick, and Cole came up in the late 2000s, early 2010s, or even in that group of rappers at the time.
Shit started out fun but ended up lame as shit imo. Race to see who could more effectively spam lies and bullshit on the internet to drown the other out.
No “Takeover” in this “beef”, let alone an “Ether”.
North West vs Blue Ivy
“No matter who you think won” lol
I’d say if we ever get J Cole to smoke a rapper, it’s gone be legit.
Or if JID decides to murk somebody.
America vs Israel
Tyler vs Lil Nas X would garner a lot of media attention
Lupe vs Kdot but yall ain't ready for that convo
KDot himself isnt ready for this convo
Eminem callin someone the N word would be great
A combination of Wayne Busta or Em
somebody put Lupe in the ring pleeassee
Anyone making fun of Drake
The Game vs Everybody 😂
Will Smith and Connor Price
I hate rap beefs. Maybe old school beefs. But after that every beef is far more personal than ever. Maybe because earlier rappers were going for each other's lifes and now they're going at each other's reputation? I don't know man. It feels like there are no "real motherfuckin G"s out there anymore as Eazy. E (RIP) would put it...
Never will be. We won't even have stars of this magnitude no more. I'm glad I lived to see it. Very small window of humankind.
Everybody vs The Carters
Harry Mack vs Eminem
Yung Gravy vs Jack Harlow...
Both have very different styles
Both rap about how they're ladies men
Both rap about how they're the man
Could be interesting to hear the diss tracks from two of the top white rappers of this era.
Eminem and Kanye
if they’re both having fun with it, I think this would be awesome
You won’t see another good one and it has to be two people on top of the rap food pyramid. Biggie vs Pac, Nas vs Jay, and Kendrick vs Drake
Could be 50 Cent vs Tyler, as they are both trolls
Was it really “fun” for the drake fans? Dude called Kendrick short and poor. Kendrick went nuclear on him and has clubs chanting “a minor” referring to him as a pedo.
I’m not a drake fan but I didn’t hate him by any means. But I mean if ya don’t want some shady business out there, dudes gotta handle his business right 🤷🏻♂️
While watching Kendrick absolutely stomp on Drake was fun, I’d love for two equally talented rappers to beef, and while it is fun to call Drake out for his, at minimum, creepy behavior, it is kind of too strong of a shot to respond to, makes other shots a little less fun.
good point. Drake got outclassed. Someone said Eminem vs Kanye. That would be absolutely bonkers if they’re both having fun with it
Honestly I can’t see anything coming close to what this beef did to the hip hop genre, I’m from Morocco and hip hop in our country is not an acceptable culture, the old heads say it’s inappropriate….. But this beef made people that never gave a fuck about anything that involves hip hop actually listen and ask questions and follow up with the the news and numbers and the drama 😂 I’m still shocked People crip walking and shit , not even knowing there is a gang killing other gangs over them 2 steps
It'll be some people we haven't listened to yet.
Eminem vs Slim, although I think that’s what his new album will be about. He has fallen off, I won’t deny it, so hopefully it could help his career
He said that he’s going to “kill” the slim shady character in his next album. How cool and very Eminem would it be if the whole album ends up being a fight between the characters of marshal and slim and ultimately ending with marshal killing slim but killing himself in the process? and that’s how the story of Eminem ends
I can't say anything will be as good... there's a BBL Drizzy snapchat filter. This beef went way over the top, it's never been so popular like this in my youthful lifetime. I can't imagine another height above this one lol
