A Word: Hit After Hit: Rap in a Post Kendrick v. Drake World

Category: TV & Film
Duration: 00:41:45

Description:

Drake didn’t know who he was messing with, and was never on Kendrick Lamar’s level in hip hop. That’s the verdict of cultural commentator and author Touré. On today’s episode of A Word, he joins host Jason Johnson to break down the meaning behind the brutal rap battle, and whether Not Like Us, BBL Drizzy, Family Matters and other songs central to the beef will rewrite the blueprint for diss tracks forever.


Guest: Touré, host of the Touré Show podcast, and author of Nothing Compares 2 U: An Oral History of Prince
