Description
Is a response from Kendrick Lamar still necessary, or has the battle already been won? Following Drake's release of his Iceman project, the hip-hop community is asking if the "boogeyman" will return to settle the score once and for all. While some fans are looking for another round of back-and-forth, responding at this point might be exactly what Drake wants: attention. Does Kendrick have anything left to gain, or is continuing the feud beneath him?
Reflecting on a recent segment from New Old Heads episode 486, I break down the definitive fallout of the battle, the glaring parallels between Drake’s fiercely protective fanbase and political cult mentalities, and why it's time for hip-hop to finally move past the drama to focus on great art.
