In the midst of the ongoing feud between rap heavyweights Kendrick Lamar and Drake, West Coast rapper SKG (Helecia Choyce) has made her stance clear, crowning Kendrick as the victor in the latest exchange of lyrical blows.
Taking to her Instagram page, SKG posted a striking black and white portrait of Kendrick Lamar, accompanied by a declaration of his superiority in the rap arena. “Every West Coast rapper should feel good today, quit playing with the West, Kendrick the goat,” she proclaimed.
When reached for comment, SKG elaborated on her endorsement of Kendrick, highlighting his ability to mentally dismantle Drake “bar from bar.” Despite her own admiration for Drake as an artist, SKG emphasized Kendrick’s prowess in the realm of metaphorical wordplay, suggesting that he emerged victorious in their verbal sparring match.
The latest chapter in the Kendrick Lamar-Drake saga, “Euphoria,” a scathing diss track aimed at Drake, has quickly ascended to the top of the Spotify and Apple Music charts. This escalation comes after Drake’s apparent response to Lamar’s provocations via an Instagram story post.
The roots of the Lamar-Drake rivalry stretch back over a decade, evolving from a seemingly amicable relationship to a competitive clash of titans. Lamar’s verse on Big Sean’s “Control” in 2013 marked a turning point, with his pointed references to Drake and other prominent rappers igniting the feud. Subsequent lyrical exchanges and subtle jabs in their respective tracks have fueled speculation among fans regarding the true nature of their rivalry.
At its core, the Lamar-Drake feud reflects a larger debate within hip-hop culture: who deserves the title of the greatest rapper of today. As SKG and others weigh in on the latest developments, the ongoing battle between these two rap juggernauts continues to captivate audiences and shape the narrative of contemporary hip-hop.
