I'm Brian Hyatt. This is Rolling Stone Music Now. Today we're going to talk even more about the

Drake versus Kendrick Lamar Rap Battle, which may well have come to an end. I'm happy to have

with me once again Rolling Stones Andre G

who's done some of the best coverage of this anywhere and he's declared Kendrick

Lamar the winner. Andre thanks so much for coming back there's so much to talk

about.

Oh my goodness, yeah, this one will be longer than the last one.

This is the fastest moving hip-hop beef probably of all time, but it's also one of the fastest

moving just music stories I've seen and it's just like moving at

internet speed. Yeah literally like I wrote in my piece like usually beast throughout

history there over in the course of months even years like and Kendrick, they like literally were like,

all right, let's just clear our schedules and get to this shit. Like,

Drake literally had the feature verse schedule for the BFB Pac-Man song.

He pulled that. He's like, no, the next time people hear me is

got to be about Kendrick. And yeah, literally over the past, literally week, the past week has been the

bulk of it. That's been the Kendrick's onslaught. Yeah, it's literally unprecedented.

It's almost like a playoff series, like a song every other day or something.

If you start, we like that, there are a total of nine songs.

Yeah, yeah. And it's insane. And we left off pretty early in it. We left off Drake, it just released push-ups. verse you better make it witty then we need a verse for the swithy's top say

drop you better drop and give them 50 which was his reply to like that so this

really had just gotten started when we got into it. Kendra said what he said.

I don't like that.
