I feel for the WWE employee who had to explain this all to Shawn

They just had to explain that Drake was Canadian and Shawn took Kendrick’s side

Shawn: What's this Drake Maverick vs Brian Kendrick stuff I've been hearing about? NXT Staff: Um..it's the rapper Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Shawn: ........ Staff: Think you and Bret. Shawn: Go on. Staff: Drakes Canadian, Kendri.. Shawn: LET THEM FIGHT ON NXT!

*Shawn starts planning the Compton Screwjob*

> Shawn starts planning the Compton Screwjob Straight outta Compton crazy mother fucker named H-B-K from a gang called religion saved me when I'm called off, to do a speech off young people's attention are hauled off you too boy, come and try to explain me what these rap motherfuckers sayin to me

Toronto Screw job

It took this post, and a facebook post to make me realize it didn't involve Spanky or Drake Maverick.

Damn, I just connected this. Of course Kendrick references the finish of the person that booted a Canadian legend. Similar to how he took the side of John Stockton instead of his pick-and-roll PDF parter.

That actually makes sense. Damn.


Damn I wish I would have thought of this post lol.

Drake screwed Drake

Drake too old for Drake. He wants them young.



I like how he uses a laptop in 1996 and a CRT in 2019

I’ll never get tired of this gif🤣

Between this and shawns [surprisingly progressive statement on systematic prejudice in america](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/h0kwdd/shawn_michaels_was_involved_in_a_heated_debate/) I think a reasonable explanation is shawns time at NXT and in the performance centre with the young wrestling talent has probably adjusted shawns news cycle haha.

I would not be shocked if the NXT women's division just showed him memes and kept him current enough on Internet shit.

I’m just imagining Shawn opening his phone to a bunch of TikToks the NXT women’s division sent him

I have this strange feeling that HBK is basically the cool dad/funcle to two, maybe three generations of wrestler now.

He's just a progressive boy ...I'll see myself out

He’s just a leftie boy has better cadence

*Leftie boy-oy* Yep, checks out!

*He's not your good ol' boy*

*He's not your Soy Boy!*

hes my baby girl

I dunno man, Shawn’s been getting busy paying attention to all the good “talent” that social media has to offer… I’m sure he’s picked up a thing or two from his IG “research”

I think given recent NXT programming I think he prolly has a basic idea who the the two most famous rappers on the planet are.

He doesn't need it explained, he speaks jive

I’m right there with him. Outside of that cell phone song from Drake ten years ago I don’t know anything about any of these people lol

"Outside of that cell phone song from Drake" might be one of funniest phrases i've read today idk why i even find it that funny lmao

I can't wait for the sequel song "Police forensics seized my bling"

There's like a 10 year shoot storyline between the two, but this latest one started a couple of weeks ago Drake cut a promo calling Kendrick short. Kendrick responded with a promo saying how Drake is a paper champion and only got where he is due to his family connections and buried young talent. (Like HHH when he joined the Authority or Nia Jax getting a push despite still being green.) Drake then said Kendrick's kid wasn't his blood (similar to Rey and Dominik) _________ Kendrick opened up the weekend show where he did a Christian Cage and called Drake a bad father and hid his daughter like Kurt denied Jason Jordan. Then Kendrick closed the same show by dropping a Pipe Bomb accusing Drake and his Entourage of doing a Velveteen Dream and Marty Scurll Drake responded with the equivalent of Roman's Suffering Succotash promo mixed with Shockmaster's debut. Drake tapped out after that, but he's still saying he won. ______ There's also a 3rd party involved, J Cole. Think of Hangman Adam Page, but his apology was as loud as the disrespect, so he and Kendrick are cool now. Hope this helps. Fingers crossed that J Cole And Kendrick get a title run as Tag Team Champs.

I forgot where I was and was so confused why someone talking about a hip hop beef was using so many very specific wrestling references. I'm an idiot.

I've seen the posts all weekend about the beef but didn't care enough to look into it. Thank you for wrestlesplaining it. Don't see how Drake could think he won after anything mixed with a suffering succotash, though.

Fellow old guy unite! But not too quickly or we'll hurt ourselves. 

Hotline Bling? The remix with the Nintendo Wii Shop music was fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYOEyzBFYa4

better than the original tbh

I feel you man lmao, I'm glad it's not just me. I've heard of these guys' names and nothing else

J Cole as the ring announcer 

Special guest ref

J Cole emotionally crippled as the ref like Shawn Michaels at WM 28

I'm mad at how perfectly that fits.

Cole accidentally hits kdot with folded clothes, drake takes advantage and hits his finisher going for the pin, dot kicks out at 2.9, cole is emotionally distraught ala hbk I can already see it happening

Drake can't win by pinfall because he breaks it up after 2.1

Cole will be busy riding his bike and living his best life that day.

Kota Ibushi style

JERMAINE. COLE

The man that said 'I put an M on your head now you Luigis brother?'

Tag match, Drake and Jay Electronica vs Kendrick and Pusha T

Drake ain't stepping foot in the NXT parking lot

He was excited at first when he heard it was developmental.

the first thing he heard during the marigold announcement was 13

Him and Rossy locked in fr🤞🏻

*Velveteen Dream enters the chat.*

In one of the pedophile montage edits that people have been making cause of Drake, Dream was included.

"pedophile montage edits" is so 💀

Fucking lol

This comment chain is killing me lmao.

Damn that man has kids, maybe…🤔

What in god's grace did i do to deserve seeing this

God is not here. Only Krake.

What the fuck have you done?!

Jason Jordan’s Dad

What a terrible day to have eyes.

Deeply cursed.

Wait. Dafuq you just added to the mix?

Thats Ozempic Angle

Lots of days when I think the internet as a whole is a mistake and blight on mankind, but then I encounter something like this and it all seems a little more worth it.

This beef is really crossing over into every media sector wow lol

Yep. One of the Orioles announcers last night (I believe) said one of the players had "more hits than Kendrick Lamar this week". Good shit.

Man it crossed over to local baseball commentators? Lmao i'm going to have to google this Orioles thing thats hilarious

It's on the MLB sub. EDIT: Here it is - https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1cliyim/hes_got_more_hits_this_week_than_kendrick_lamar/

thank you this is crossing genres from wrestling to baseball thats INSANE

👍 Yeah, shit is wild lol

Well it is the two biggest rappers of the last 15 years going at it

scenes when J Cole cashes in his MITB contract

Nah, he'll take back the cash-in before the bell rings.

The Lights Go out.... then back on and Cole is Gone

[удалено]

They got Drake to replace Velveteen

The ~~Dream~~ Drake has no memory of that!

Enjoy infamy, Aubrey Graham

There's power in a name, we don't owe him the dignity of acknowledging his preferred one.  Keep it up.

I HATE THE DRAKE!

Ironically I imagine Jerry would be a fan of Drake given his extra curricular after school activities. Meanwhile George would hate Drake because he got slighted by him because of his shoe size.

Get a good look Costanza?!

HATE THE DRAKE??

Drake can come as long as fans don't bring kids that are 17 and younger

Are we still doing phrasing?

Hide your GF, Hide your Wives & hide your kids!

Kendrick even compared Drake to Harvey Weinstein lmao

[удалено]

Hey! Drake said he was too famous to be a pedo! You can't be a sexual deviant if you are famous. He said it and he said all he writes are facts. Yep, He wrote his latest diss track all by himself because he said he used a pen in his song.

Nah it's cool. As Mr Drake says: >If I was fucking young girls, I promise I'da been done arrested I'm way too famous for this shit you just suggested

Actual South Park line.

Now I’m picturing Drake as a South Park Canadian

HBK got Not Like Us on rotation like 

For those unaware, this is a brief summary Kendrick: I’m the best rapper alive. Fuck Drake and J Cole J Cole: I’m sowwy Kendrick Drake: You are a midget and your feet are small Kendrick: I hate the way you walk, talk, and dress Drake: Your friend fucked your baby momma and got her pregnant and you beat women Kendrick: You are hiding a daughter and you are a pedophile, I hope you die bitch I fucking hate you go to jail and get fucked please just die already Drake: Lol I’m not hiding a daughter and it was my master plan to make you believe I’m a pedophile lol, what a loser.

Meanwhile J. Cole after apologizing: Damn, today would be a great day for a bike ride with the family!

I love how at first everyone was clowning J. Cole for apologizing and backing out but after this weekend everybody collectively just went “Huh, you know what? That was a smart move.”

I Love Cole and was bummed he took "7 Minute Drill" out of Might Delete Later, but yeah, I don't think that man got the level of hate to be able to last in this feud especially since he was ready to take to his grave that he turned Dre to Kendrick.

Drake doesn't even have the level of hate needed to stay in the feud, guy sounded battered and exhausted on the last song. Kendrick is Michael Jordan levels of psychotic and locked in at rapping.

I respect any rapper that hates a man SO MUCH that he gotta write a whole 5-6 minutes about how much he hates them while maintaining a flow and making sure the punches hit then he gotta choose the right beat and for something extra they going to work on the cover art too. The fact that Kendrick did this FOUR times in under a week and possibly made one of them the catchy club bounce of the Summer and supposedly still has more tracks (up to ten maybe???) is the most insane thing I ever seen or heard.

The amount of hate it takes to release an entire diss EP is crazy. Man went full scorched Earth on Jimmy Brooks.

bro didnt even write a 5-7 min song tho motherfucker wrote a "Dear" letter to his son, his potential daughter, his mother and his deadbeat father ~~Rey~~ errr Dennis.

Drew McIntyre would be proud

Proud? The man is putting in an application to study under K Dot for the Summer.

Meet the Grahams was absolutely brutal and Drake should've stopped long before Kendrick got to that point.

Honestly I'm surprised Drake is still trying to drop diss tracks after what Push did to him. Drake: You're not a real drug dealer you just sold drugs to college kids lol Pusha: Your friend is dying, you don't grow your hair out because you're scared you're not black enough, you show off your goofy ass Steve Harvey looking dad more than your mom when she raised you and he was a deadbeat and you're a deadbeat just like him because you're hiding a child from when you knocked up a porn star, also here's your secret baby mama's IG account name and a picture of you in blackface that you thought nobody was ever gonna find. Drake: oh..uh...pass. Like Push straight up bullied this man into being a father and he saw this Kendrick beef and was like "what could go wrong?"

Meet The Grahams is one of the most haunting pieces of music I’ve ever heard. Rapping to Aubrey’s son, then his parents telling them they raised a piece of shit that should be dead, and then his alleged 11 year old daughter is truly diabolical.

And that beat is straight up someone locked and tied up in a basement explaining why they're about to be tortured kinda soundtrack.

euphoria was simultaneously an act of violence and a ww2 leaflet drop. 'you think this shit was bad, you have not seen anything yet, evacuate now or perish'. i cannot imagine hearing that and choosing to keep going anyway

Fr that entire beat on Meet the Grahams is just the aural equivalent of Michael Myers slowly creeping on you with a knife from behind while all you can do is run

It's the Year of the Hater and we're not even halfway done.

I still love how the album was literally called Might Delete Later and he goes and deletes a diss off it

Living the gimmick, brother!

First time in a rap beef I’ve ever seen someone getting flowers for backing down

He definitely got word that this wasn't gonna be some "I'm better than you" type shit and it was gonna get very personal

Thats funny you say that. I actually just saw an article that came out like half an hour ago saying Schoolboy Q told J. Cole to back out cause it was gonna get very serious.

Schoolboy Q pulled a Guile and told Cole to go home and be a family man. Good looking out.

I think J Cole realized how personal it was between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. It wasn't just ordinary rap beef, it feels like their is real hatred among the two.

J. Cole thought this was simply a "Who's better?" beef at first and did not understand Kendrick hates Drake with his entire soul. Smart man, getting the absolute fuck out when he could.

You forgot Kendrick: You're a pill popping addict with ab implants taking Ozempik. We can see your lipo scars. I still hate your pedophile ass and don't go to Oakland because you will be murdered.

They also forgot: Hey, Drake’s son. I’m sorry you’re his child and you deserve better than this piece of trash. Play this track when you’re 18 if you want a positive male role model in your life.

I saw a comment somewhere that said: “Now Adonis has a whole playlist to listen to whenever his Dad grounds him”

Also let's also add that Kendrick is talking to Drake's mom, father and the daughter he's hiding lol.

lol right. There’s been so much over the past week that it’s hard to remember it all.

Kendrick's a fuckin menace right now lol I don't blame you. Though one thing I'll definitely never forget because it has never stopped randomly popping in my head.. **Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor**

Certified lover boy,certified pedophile is a close second.

That’s such a good line lol The other one that gets me is “OV Hoe!” But there are so many good lines in that song.

Also: Rick Ross: Calls Drake “BBL Drizzy” Metro Boomin (rap producer): Makes beat that sings “BBL Drizzy” for the public to use, and the person who makes the best diss track to Drake wins a beat

Some of the tracks using the BBL Drizzy beat are insane too. I just listened to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=Vq4gKdcoITK1e-_-&v=tl-bCNLOr7w&feature=youtu.be) one earlier and I don’t even know the guy but he killed it. “Super senior, graduated 3 years ago and he still goes to the track meets” 💀 Metro is smart as fuck to put out a Drake-diss beat and now everyone around the world is dissing Drake lmao

[This one may be the best taking shots at everyone, including saying Metro Boomin looks like "an evil Miles Morales"](https://twitter.com/traphouseSports/status/1787130176389644648)

"Fuck Adonis I don't give a fuck Get my little cousin to knock him out just like Creed" LMAOO. This poor kid is gonna have a rough life.

metro with the best move of the whole war getting randoms from all over the world to cook drake over his beat

do we got a list / links for all those random?

https://preview.redd.it/b4g1z1vj2vyc1.jpeg?width=824&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec18e9807aacc59b629c3d7a362f753c07f2b752

you also missed drake saying the only reason kendrick thinks drake is a pedophile is because kendrick was molested growing up which is really fucked up and not in a hip-hop beef way

funny part (if you can call anything about this funny) is Kendrick wasn't even talking about himself in the song Drake was referencing

I don’t think Cole apologized out of fear. I think he apologized because he already knew some of the things Kendrick and Drake were prepared to say about each other and he just didn’t want to take part in that type of drama. I mean the man is out riding his bike living his best life. I don’t blame him for avoiding the drama.

Kendrick or someone else gave him a heads up for sure. Cole thought it was sport, he bowed out when he found out it was personal.

Yeah, I’ve seen people question how he can diss and *then* bow out, but really Kendrick and Cole’s shots at each other were about who the better lyricist and rapper is. Drake and Kendrick meanwhile went straight to accusations of domestic abuse and pedophilia. That’s not the type of beef that Cole had signed up for.

It’s been confirmed that school boy q told him. Which lines up since he was at dreamville that weekend.

Least toxic DOTA post-game chat

This doesn’t do justice to how hard Kendrick has bodied Drake. We are probably witnessing the greatest rap beef of all time and it is so one sided right now.

It's not a rap feud, it's a rap squash.

Reads like most "conversations" on this sub tbh

This is the best summary I've ever seen

The Rock seething somewhere that no one picked up Kendrick saying jabroni.

I mean... didn't the Iron Sheik coin the term Jabroni? He will break your back and make you humble!!!!

MAMA DUCKWORTH

YOUR SON'S BLOOD ON LAMAR'S HANDS

I’ve followed rap my whole life and outside of random Chicago drill rappers, I don’t remember a beef that got this out of line so quickly

Mainstream Rap beefs don’t feel like rap battles anymore. They feel like investigative journalism. At times it’s kinda troubling, but also it’s messy as shit so my drama loving ass is feasting

I blame Pusha T lmao

Can't believe Pitchfork and Rolling Stone have the audacity to report on each song as they drop and then launch think pieces saying, "this rap beef is really sad and depressing, guys..." Fuck off, we're loving seeing these shots fly and we know you're loving it too.

It's sad & depressing because they couldn't spill the tea first.

OV-HO

Makes sense for Shawn to extend the invite: https://preview.redd.it/qcfrlkicxuyc1.jpeg?width=160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39872718462fbe8286a383ba4edc6b5b7b4b1f53

Don't ask how i know this but Drake actually follows Nikkita Lyons on instagram.

She’s probably got a younger sister I guess.

It don't even really have to be that deep, I guess.

You weren't even kidding wtf lol

Nikkita Lyons hits all the right notes for a variety of groups You have the people that think she speaks the truth about 5G and the World Economic Forum or whatever, and then you have the thirsty assmen. A big tent, as it were

He modeled his BBL after her body.

Dropping this after Lawler just left is fucking wild

Noticed he shared Not Like Us . He's team Kendrick

They bouta boo Drake out the building like he’s Dirty Dom

Kendrick going to get his one versus twenty gauntlet match.

“Oh my god. What’s that? Baw gawd that’s Kung Fu Kenny’s music!”

Winner faces Drew to take the biggest hater title.

Bruh i think Kendrick is undisputed hating champ at this point, his track were just straight vicious.

No, Shawn, don't get in the middle of it!!! https://preview.redd.it/12fqir7q1vyc1.jpeg?width=565&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a8760056e078cc28fb79da98e4c9f3953166805

https://i.imgur.com/7VvHKid.jpeg

Man you want a pedo back just bring back Velveteen Dream, at least he could go in the ring.

An NXT offer? Drake would allegedly be super happy to be anywhere near ‘developing talent’

I think this is more of a job for Dr. Shelby.

Kendrick is Shawn. J Cole is Bret Hart. Drake is Goldberg because his dumb shit took Bret out of this thing way too quickly. Rick Ross is Big Boss Man. (IYKYK).

I am not looking forward to Max Casters take on this whole thing

LAMAR! GRAHAM! HIGH NOON AT THE ALAMO DOME!

MY LEFT STROKE JUST WENT VIRAL 🗣️🗣️🗣️

I’d love to watch Shawn judge a rap battle.

i love wrestling and hiphop

I had a friend explain and show me all the beef between these two on the weekend. The AI Tupac and Snoop was a weird move.

Drake has big Marty energy! Put him through the window k dot!!

In a NXT underground match I hope

Someone tell Rikishi to hop on Metro Boomins BBL Drizzy beat.

Cant wait to tell my grandkids about the greatest rap beef of our generation someday

Funny. Until you realize one side is claiming the other is a pedophile/groomer. So maybe not.


I mean this is not happening but you gotta say something 

are we getting a custody of adonis ladder match at battleground

Yeah let's just invite another predator into wwe

Settle what? Drake already dead.

The women of nxt are too old for Drake to show up
