Friday (May 10) night, TDE’s Top Dawg made a bold proclamation regarding Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s battle.
In a tweet, the highly respected label owner stated, “This battle is over. A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax. Especially when these publications try to make it something else. We proved them wrong. That’s a victory within itself. On another note, it’s time to wrap up this TDE 20th anniversary compilation.”
One fan wrote, “Kendrick not responding will only further confirm a Drake W. Tuff.” Another user stated, “D**n… So, Drake won [’cause] a n**ga boss came out and just abruptly ended the battle with a tweet.” Someone else claimed, “The battle can’t be over. We need a video, and they are up here asking hypoghettotical dating questions again. TOP, PLEASE.”
Many fans think Drake was waiving the white flag with his latest diss track against Kendrick Lamar. In “THE HEART PART 6,” he says, “I’m not going to lie, this s**t was some, some good exercise, like/ It’s good to get out, get the pen workin’/ You would be a worthy competitor if I was really a predator/ And you weren’t f**kin’ lying to every blogger and editor, but it is what it is.”
In his spoken outro, the famed Canadian star explained, “You know, at least your fans are gettin’ some raps out of you/ I’m happy I could motivate you/ Bring you back to the game, like, you know, but/ Just let me know when we’re gettin’ to the facts/ Everything in my s**t is facts/ I’m waitin’ on you to return the favor, like.”
