KENDRICK LAMAR & DRAKE BEEF BUNDLED INTO CASSETTE TAPE COLLECTIBLE

Kendrick Lamar and Drake‘s rap beef has been compressed into a cassette tape that features ever diss track from the back-and-forth.

An X (formerly Twitter) user who goes by @3ternalsirenity shared an image of the item on Tuesday (June 11). Wheres her piece sported a sticker of $19.99, Tape Head City is selling it for $16 (plus shipping) online.

Drizzy first dropped  the J. Cole-assisted “First Person Shooter” last year with a subtle jab at K. Dot, who responded with a feature verse on Metro Boomin and Future‘s “Like That” in March.

Drake subsequently dropped “Push Ups,” which was then followed by Kendrick’s “Euphoria.” “Family Matters,” “Taylor Made Freestyle” and “Meet The Grahams” were all released shortly after, with the Mustard-produced “Not Like Us” giving Kung Fu Kenny the upper hand per the general consensus.

The final release (so far) was Drizzy’s “The Heart Part 6.”

 

The aforementioned “Taylor Made Freestyle” is no longer available online as the 6 God had to remove it from all platforms after 2Pac’s estate did not take kindly to the use of the late rapper’s likeness via AI.

The song, which featured computer-generated vocals from both ‘Pac and Snoop Dogg, has officially been removed from the Canadian superstar’s social media pages after the was given 24 hours to take down the controversial track.

In a cease and desist letter issued in April, ‘Pac’s estate said: “The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality. Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.

“The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.

“If you comply, the estate will consider whether an informal negotiation to resolve this matter makes sense. If you do not comply, our client has authorized this firm to pursue all of its legal remedies including, but not limited to, an action for violation of […] the estate’s copyright, publicity and personality rights and the resulting damages, injunctive relief, and punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.”

Pop Smoke's Alleged Killer Reportedly Released From Prison

According to numerous online reports and social media activity, authorities reportedly released one of Pop Smoke's alleged killers from jail (specifically juvie) for what seems like his 21st birthday. Moreover, there isn't a lot of concrete information available about this supposed release at press time, other than this being the completion of the alleged killer's four-year sentence for pleading guilty to murder. This follows other developments in the New York drill rapper's murder case, such as an alleged eyewitness explaining how it all went down. That took place on social media, though, not in court. As such, there are still a lot of unanswered questions and doubts when it comes to this tragedy.

Furthermore, four years have passed since Pop Smoke died in a home invasion and robbery, and only one defendant remains in his case. Corey Walker is also the only adult defendant in this case, and the court delayed his trial due to an inability to settle a plea agreement with prosecutors. "Negotiations fell through, but there’s still a possibility we’ll come to an agreement," defense attorney Deion Benjamin told Rolling Stone. "A few things need to be ironed out. If they don’t get resolved, we’ll go to trial," for which jury selection would begin on August 6.

Pop Smoke's Alleged Killer Is Reportedly Free

However, this vague release definitely isn't the most odd or bizarre thing to emerge out of this Pop Smoke case. Some connected it to the death of rapper Sirtanky, and believe that the latter passed away as a move of retaliation for the murder of the former. In fact, the Los Angeles rapper washed up in a barrel on the shores of Malibu, a gruesome and disturbing end with unclear context behind it. Hopefully no further violence affects this whole situation.

Meanwhile, Pop Smoke continues to live on as a staple of contemporary New York hip-hop, falling alongside city legends that have also done a lot to rep for the city in their respective eras. Sadly, his time on this Earth was far too short for him to fully enjoy and realize his impact, potential, talents, and life. Hopefully this release is a sign of completed justice, and that folks involved have learned from their horrific actions. We'll see how else The Woo endures.
