The Hip-Hop world has been set ablaze by Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Euphoria, aimed at Drake. Harlem rappers Cam’ron and Ma$e have shared their thoughts on the ‘beef’.
Speaking on their show, It Is What It Is, the two who have transitioned into sports personalities agreed that Drake is currently leading the battle.
Ma$e praised Drake’s recent diss tracks Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle, stating that Drake is definitely winning from an MC standpoint. He expressed that the wait for Kendrick’s response was long and when you wait, the result needs to be extraordinary.
Cam’ron, also known as Killa Cam, added that while Euphoria did not move him, he acknowledged that it was not a bad record. He expressed his expectation for meaningful lyrics from Kendrick and felt the song took too long to come out.
The rappers discussed the nature of the beef between Kendrick and Drake, with Cam’ron stating that the stakes aren’t as high as they were during his rap feuds in the ’90s and ’00s. He mentioned that while the current rap beef is entertaining, it lacks the dangerous atmosphere that was present in past feuds.
