When USC professor and hip-hop scholar Todd Boyd remembers hearing Tupac Shakur’s scathing diss track “Hit ‘Em Up,” he knew one thing: “This is not going to end well.”
The West Coast anthem was released in June 1996 and Shakur viciously took aim at his East Coast rivals, including the Notorious B.I.G. with claims — through strikingly chosen words — that he slept with Biggie’s wife, R&b singer Faith Evans.
The rap war escalated to new heights, and three months later Shakur was shot to death in Las Vegas, with some wondering (though apparently incorrectly) whether the beef had anything to with it. And a few months after that, Biggie was shot dead in Los Angeles though his killer never apprehended.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s current rap beef has Boyd reflecting on the past.

Nearly three weeks ago, Kid Cudi broke his foot three when he jumped off the stage during his Coachella set, resulting in an injury that left him no choice but to cancel his forthcoming tour. The rapper has since shared a health update with his fans, proving that he really wasn’t being dramatic — the images he shared of his recent x-rays show that nearly a dozen screws were been placed in his foot during surgery.

Since Kendrick Lamar took aim at Drake with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” in March, the Compton and Canadian rappers have traded dozens of dark verses (and counting) in a beef unlike any before it. Their war of words hit a crescendo on the weekend of May 3, but tensions have been simmering for years. Here we’ll break down every major development in their battle since late March. But first a little background:

Are Kendrick Lamar and Drake just going to keep dissing each other for the rest of their lives? Probably, yes. So here we go with another beef that began after the Canadian rapper dropped a seven-and-a-half-minute track Family Matters, in response to Lamar’s 6:16 in LA, which led the latter to have his last laugh with a new song Meet the Grahams.

After Drake fired shots at Kendrick Lamar with Family Matters, where he accused the rapper of fathering a child that isn’t biologically his, Lamar released Meet the Grahams. In his new track, Lamar alleged Drake was hiding a daughter that the world does not know about. Following K.Dot’s latest diss track, the God’s Plan singer broke his silence over the Crompton rapper’s allegations.

It’s probably a good thing Drake is taking a vacation.
No less than 30 minutes after Drake dropped his latest Kendrick Lamar diss track, “Family Matters,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper has returned the fire with “Meet the Grahams.”
“Dear Adonis, I’m sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest,” Lamar raps to begin the track, setting the stage for a deeply personal and vicious six-minute offering. Lamar proceeds to calls Drake a “master manipulator,” “with kinks of a nympho fetish,” who is hiding a secret daughter.
“And we gotta raise our daughters knowin’ there’s predators like him lurkin’/ Fuck a rap battle, he should die so all of these women can live with a purpose,” Lamar raps.
Lamar then addresses Drake’s alleged daughter directly: “Dear baby girl, I’m sorry that your father not active inside your world/ He don’t commit to much but his music,...

The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues, as both rappers constantly get back at each other by releasing diss tracks aimed at one another. The squabble initially began when Lamar fired shots at the Canadian rapper with Like That. Thereafter, the One Dance singer escalated the feud by releasing Push Ups, aimed at Lamar.

If Drake and Kendrick finally have a rap battle for the ages, it won’t be solely because of Kendrick’s recent verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” It (probably) won’t be over industry politics that we’re not privy to, pillow talking, or whatever other trivial issues have caused prior rap feuds. I’m not the biggest fan of rap beef because, as Snoop Dogg told Latto, it’s often a product of ego intensified by corporate forces looking to maintain division. But Drake and...

If you have ever heard any of Rick Ross’ internationally popular songs, such as Stay Schemin featuring Drake and French Montana or B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast) featuring Styles P, you have probably noticed the classy Maybach Music tag on each instrumental. Throughout Ross’ discography, the well-known statement—which represents his record label, Maybach Music—appears on numerous tracks.
And after more than a decade of studios’ wearing the tag, last year, the 48-year-old finally revealed the voice behind it.

Kenzo’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, presented at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, documents the intercultural exchanges that have intervened between East and West, America and Japan, and most notably in the show, between George Lucas’ science fiction and Akira Kurosawa’s historic imagery. The two distinct ways of filmmaking combined to inspire a perfect synthesis in Kenzo’s show. The fashion label is owned by Lvmh.
Kenzo’s artistic director Nigo, the DJ and record producer, already known as the founder of the streetwear brand A Bathing Ape, once again depicted the introduction of non-Western influences into Eastern culture as a key element of his imagery when designing for the fashion house founded by Kenzo Takada. For this collection, he drew inspiration from films such as Lucas’ Star Wars franchise and Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress.

Between Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Anthony Fantano, and many more, we’ve heard some pretty good Drake disses over the years. But now, Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) is giving everyone a run for their money with a new diss of epic proportions. Evoking the literal collapse of modern civilization to drive his point home, the seasoned rapper said that Drizzy’s output is less “hip-hop” and more like shopping at Target.
The comments came during Bey’s recent appearance on the fashion podcast The Cutting Room Floor when host, Recho Omondi, asked point-blank if he considered Drake “hip-hop.” After a pause — and a begrudging “Why are you doing this to me?” — Bey unleashed his opinion: “Drake is pop to me. In the sense, like, if I was in Target in Houston and I heard a Drake song… it feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping.

No stranger to corporate jingles, Pusha T has hopped on a new song titled “Paper Right” as part of a new ad campaign for the financial services organization Tiaa. While Push’s verse mostly stays on the theme of retirement planning, he sneaks in a coke rap about his drug dealing days, too.
On the posse cut with Wyclef Jean, CoSign alum Lola Brooke, Flau’jae, and Capella Grey, Push spits a cautionary tale from the past. “Stood tall on ’em corners/ Old ladies warned us, so they ain’t have to mourn us,” he raps. “Street lords said, ‘Join us’/ You could turn a brick to a Beamer, here some pointers/ Nowadays, I’m ignorin’ ’em.”
Push continues with lines about building a legacy for his son and leaving behind generational wealth, though he admits to keeping a “side hustle” to hit his apparently lofty goals. Stream the track and...

Clipse rapper No Malice has thrown his hat into the ring of unpredictable musical team-ups, welcoming potential collaborations with the likes of Coldplay and The Killers.
Malice and Pusha T sat down with their manager Steven Victor in a recent interview with Goat, in which the duo revealed whom they’d like to collaborate with in the future.
“As far as hip-hop goes, the highwater mark is always collaborating with Jay-Z, so I would like that,” Malice began. “Outside of hip-hop, I would like to see Clipse with artists like Coldplay and The Killers, with big arena records, festivals, something that moves globally.”
King Push, however, feels a little differently, after seemingly reaching his collaboration limit. “Man. I don’t know. I’m collab’d out,” he said. “I don’t even care about collaborations if it’s not among a great body of work. I’m into cohesive, great bodies of work.

Drake’s latest project, Scary Hours 3, is littered with pointed references to his usual rivals, but the rapper also takes a moment to tip his hat to Taylor Swift on the opening track, “Red Button.”
After boasting about being “the most decorated” rapper and decimating the competition on the Billboard charts, Drake admits Swift is the only artist who would prompt him to push back an album release date.
“Taylor Swift the only n**** that I ever rated,” he raps. “Only one could make me drop the album just a little later/ Rest of y’all, I treat you like you never made it.”
Drake and Swift have shared some form of friendship for over a decade. In April 2022, Drake caused speculation that they could be recording a collaboration after posting a photo on Instagram of him in an embrace with Swift. As it turns out, the flick was actually...

Don’t expect Jay-Z to follow the trend of veteran artists selling their masters. In a two-part interview with CBS News’ Gayle King, the rapper recalled how reacquiring his master recordings was “the fight of my life” and said he would leave the decision of selling his catalog to his children.
“I get why people do it, I’ve been fortunate enough to make money in this place, but for me, it was the fight of my life,” Jay told King about getting his masters back from Def Jam. “You know from being an independent company from the beginning and then going through the Def Jam system not really understanding how that works and then having my masters, then going back to Def Jam as the president and then saying, ‘Okay, I’ll do this job and part of this job is my masters has to be reverted back to me.

Rolling Stone was founded in 1967 in San Francisco by a music critic and his 21-year-old protégé, a Berkeley dropout who borrowed money from his future in-laws to get it off the ground. For decades, Rolling Stone gripped tight to the beliefs and cultural blinders of that boomer beginning. Most of its rocker heroes from that Haight-Ashbury autumn were white and male, and those were the kind of people who stayed center stage at Rolling Stone. The misogyny and racism of that founding era lingered longer.

Phoenix are keeping their collaboration kick going with a remix of their Alpha Zulu cut “All Eyes on Me” that features unlikely guest Pusha T. Check out the track below.
In addition to Pusha’s verses, the “All Eyes on Me” remix features vocals from Benee and production from Chad Hugo. The band shared their emphatic (and very French) gratitude in a press release: “A huge thank you to le Roi Pusha-t — most played artist in our backstage; to Chad Hugo, who always showed up when we were playing in Virginia, it’s about time we worked together! And to Benee, who worked at light speed to make this happen and added some magic. Merci!!!”
As random of a team-up as it may seem, it is fun to hear Pusha spit over Phoenix’s disco-punk instrumental, before Benne closes out the song with a mellow final verse. The track comes...

After Drake unveiled the tracklist for his new album, For All the Dogs, it appeared that the opener “Virginia Beach” would be a diss aimed at longtime rival Pusha T. That turned out not to be the case. Instead, Drake appeared to use a skit on “Calling for You” to poke fun at the Virginia Beach-raised rapper. He also seems to reference a 2018 incident on another song called “Fear of Heights.” Stream both tracks below.
On “Calling for You,” there’s an interlude in which a woman complains about having to sit in economy class. “Yo, he lied to me. Like I didn’t give a fuck that we sat in economy, I gave a fuck ’cause he said the economy was full,” she says. “He said, ‘There was no first class, so we’re sitting in economy.'”
The skit is likely a reference to a tweet that Pusha...

When he's not churning out his next musical project, Drake is busy on dad duty - and sometimes music and dad duty mix. That much is evident on the father of one's latest album, "For All the Dogs," on which his 5-year-old son Adonis features on the song "Daylight."
When the father-son duo aren't making magic in the studio, they love sitting courtside. In December 2022, the father-son duo were spotted at a Toronto Raptors (Drake's favorite basketball team) vs. Los Angeles Clippers game in December. The pair seem to frequent their fair share of NBA games together, and it's always an adorable sight.
Speculation over whether or not Drake had become a dad swirled via his highly publicized feud with Pusha T before he eventually verified the rumors in the summer of 2018. The rapper, who shares his son with artist Sophie Brussaux, confirmed the news in the most appropriate way he knows how: through song.

Amazon has shut down live audio service Amp about 18 months after it launched in beta.
After live audio gained traction as a digital category during Covid, led by Clubhouse and imitators launched by Meta, Spotify, Twitter and others, the pendulum soon swung in the other direction. Clubhouse said last April it was “resetting” and laying off 50% of its staff.
Amazon had enlisted a roster of music talent, including artists like Lil Yachty, Nicki Minaj and Pusha T, to host Amp shows. The general aim of the service was to connect users through shared music or cultural touchpoints, allowing creators to talk over music or other audio and interact with each other.
The shutdown of Amp was reported Wednesday by multiple media outlets, including Bloomberg, which reported that an internal memo said the decision to end Amp was not made “quickly or easily.” The call followed “months of careful consideration” of broader investment priorities.

Drake has shared the latest installment in his Am/Pm freestyle series, “8Am in Charlotte,” on the eve of his new album, For All the Dogs. The track features thinly veiled references to his apparently revived beef with Kanye West. Watch the video, co-starring Drake’s son Adonis, below.
“8Am in Charlotte” opens with a skit in which Adonis breaks down his own drawing and dubs his father as “Daddy Goat” before the soulful production from Conductor Williams kicks in and Drake raps about his usual topics like the pressures of fame and chart dominance, while referencing pop culture figures like Jordan Peele, Lauryn Hill, Shania Twain, and Michael Jackson. On the third verse, he turns up the pressure on unnamed foes.

DJ Shadow has revealed his eighth album Action Adventure will drop on October 27th along with the nearly all-instrumental collection’s first single, “Ozone Scraper.”
The 14-track project eschews the California producer’s more recent, guest-friendly offerings in an effort to “write music that flexed different energies.” He first prefaced the creative shift in an Instagram post on August 9th, sharing, “I needed to get personal and make music for myself again. I didn’t want to compromise or write music to give someone else a runway, I wanted to force myself to permeate every available sonic space and ‘own’ the total composition.”
“This is about my relationship to music,” he added in a statement tied to the official announcement. “My life as a collector and curator. All my records and tapes, and no one else’s.”

The third day of Lollapalooza 2023 highlighted the big presence of several South Korean acts this year, including Tomorrow x Together headlining for the first time on Saturday (they performed earlier in the day in 2022) and the fest also featured its first-ever K-pop girl group NewJeans on Thursday, marking the group’s first-ever U.S. performance. It also featured great hip-hop sets, including headliner Pusha T.
The day also featured a steady course of rain, which muddied the fields and likely contributed to it feeling not as crowded throughout the day as Thursday and Friday.

The Canadian hitmaker appears to rekindle his years-long feud with Pusha T, as well as rapping about melting Skateboard P’s N.E.R.D. chain, which was previously owned by Pharrell. He also mentions the late Louis Vuitton designer Virgil Abloh, Xxl reports.
Drizzy raps, “Man, f**k all that spinning the narrative s**t/I melt down the chains that I bought from your boss.

Pusha T made a surprise appearance at Phoenix’s set at Paris’ We Love Green festival on Saturday, June 3, to debut a new verse to “All Eyes on Me,” a track off last year’s Alpha Zulu.
The special cameo came at the end of a Phoenix medley that interpolated “If I Ever Feel Better” and the part “Funky Squaredance” that’s reminiscent of the crushing chord progression from Pink Floyd’s “Have a Cigar.” From there, the band transitioned into “All Eyes on Me,” and Pusha T took the stage.

The starry group — looking bold and elegant in high-contrast, black-and-white looks designed by Browne and inspired by the Met Gala’s 2023 dress code, “In honor of Karl [Lagerfeld]” — included Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, singer Olivia Rodrigo, singer and actor Janelle Monáe, Succession star Alexander Skarsgård, rapper Pusha T, model Sora Choi, race-car driver Daniel Ricciardo, multi-hyphenate star Teyana Taylor and NBA player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Browne, in a statement to THR, described the group of individuals as “singular talents” wearing looks that honored “A Karl, a pioneer of design across two centuries” and in designs that were “married together in tailoring … deconstructed and reconstructed.”
