Kendrick Lamar Reignites Drake Feud Rumors On New Jay Rock Track

(Radio.com) Verse by verse, Kendrick Lamar is staging a massive comeback. His divisive last solo offering "i" gave fodder to the Internet for weeks and, now, he's just done the same with merely one verse on his TDE label mate Jay Rock's "Pay for It."

For some, the biggest question: is Lamar taking shots at Drake? In his puffed-up-chest verse, Lamar comes out fighting. "I tell 'em all hail King Kendrick, resurrecting my vengeance/ Been dissecting your motormouth until I break down the engine," he raps. "This ain't no warning shot, this a relevant henchman/ See my opponent then, cease your existence/ Endin' our friendship, baby, I'd rather die alone."

Sure, Lamar doesn't list Drake - or anyone except for himself, for that matter - by name, but the pair's friendship and history is enough for some to assume Drake's the target. Then again, it could likely just be a diss directed at no one in particular - like A$AP Rocky's recent attack on other rappers who wear Hood By Air and #BEEN TRILL#.

On the other hand, if the verse was aimed at Drake, it'd be the second time Lamar called out the Toronto MC in a track. On his kingly "Control" verse from last year, Drake was one of the rappers over which King Kendrick presided - though Drizzy took it in stride, later calling Kendrick a "king" during his OVO Fest set.
