Kendrick Lamar and Drake Getty Images (2) Kendrick Lamar and Drake's feud has become one of the most storied rap beefs in history, but their relationship wasn't always so fraught with tension. Before Lamar made his major label debut with 2012's Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, the Compton native and Drake were on good terms. Lamar made a guest appearance on Drake's 2011 album, Take Care, and later opened for the Canadian rapper on his 2012 Club Paradise tour. That same year, the duo contributed guest verses to ASAP Rocky's "F***in' Problems," and Drake appeared on Lamar's track "Poetic Justice." Just one year later, however, cracks in their professional relationship started to show as the pair began taking shots at each other in their music, starting with Lamar's verse on Big Sean's "Control." In the decade-plus since, the drama has only escalated - and there's no sign that these two ever plan on burying the hatchet. Keep scrolling for a complete timeline of Drake and Lamar's feud: August 14, 2013 The drama kicked off when Lamar took aim at Drake - and every other popular rapper of the era - in his verse on Big Sean's "Control" with Jay Electronica. "I'm usually homeboys with the same n****s I'm rhymin' with / But this is hip-hop, and them n****s should know what time it is / And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale / Pusha T, Meek Millz, ASAP Rocky, Drake / Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller / I got love for you all, but I'm tryna murder you n****s / Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n****s / They don't wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n****s." A Complete Guide to All the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake Diss Tracks At the time, Drake said he was unbothered by the song, telling Billboard he "got dinner and kept it moving" after hearing the track. "I didn't really have anything to say about it," he added. "It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That's all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick's not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic." September 24, 2013 Drake released his third studio album, Nothing Was the Same, which included a track called "The Language" that some fans believed was a response to Lamar's "Control" boasts. "I don't know why they been lyin' but your s- is not that inspirin' / Bank account statement just look like I'm ready for early retirement," Drake rapped on the first verse. "F*** any n**** that's talking that shit just to get a reaction." October 15, 2013 Kendrick Lamar Arnold Jerocki/Getty Images During the BET Hip Hop Awards, Lamar seemingly snuck in a dig at Drake during his freestyle performance with the TDE cypher, rapping, "Yeah, and nothing been the same since they dropped 'Control' / And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes." December 17, 2013 Drake hopped on a remix of Future's track "S***" with Juicy J and hit back at Lamar, rapping, "I hear you talk about your city like you run that." He also referenced Lamar mentioning him on "Control" with the lines, "And if a n**** say my name, he the hot s*** / But if I say the n**** name, he still the hot s*** / F***ed up, lucky I don't feed into the gossip." Days later, Vibe published a cover story featuring Drake, in which he claimed that "The Language" was not a direct rebuttal to "Control." "I don't ever want to get into responses," he said when asked directly whether the track was a response to Lamar. "'The Language' is just energy. What it was inspired by, I'm sure that, and other things. It's just me talking my s***. I never once felt the need to respond to that record. The sentiment he was putting forth is what he should have. Of course you wanna be the best. Where it became an issue is that I was rolling out an album while that verse was still bubbling, so my album rollout became about this thing. What am I supposed to say? 'Nah, we'll be buddy-buddy?' Mind you, I never once said he's a bad guy [or] I don't like him. I think he's a f***ing genius in his own right, but I also stood my ground as I should." 21 Savage and More Stars Weigh In on Drake and Kendrick Lamar Beef Drake noted that he hadn't seen Lamar since the BET Hip Hop Awards, but he thought things would be fine between them. "I have no ill feelings toward that guy," he said. "It's just like, it's there for me if I wanna fall for it. I'm just too smart for that. ... We haven't seen each other [since the BET cypher], but I'm sure we'll see each other and it'll be cool. And if it's not, then I guess that's how our story unfolds." March 15, 2015 Lamar released his third studio album, To Pimp a Butterfly, featuring the song "King Kunta." One line in particular - "I can dig rapping, but a rapper with a ghost writer? What the f*** happened?" - left fans wondering whether Lamar was acknowledging rumors that Drake doesn't write his own raps. (Lamar has never confirmed who that quip was about.)
