Kendrick Lamar and Drake Rap Beef ‘Packaged’ into Collectible Cassette Tapes

The diss tracks from their back-and-forth have been condensed onto a cassette tape that contains Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s rap feud.

On Tuesday, June 11, an image of the item was shared by @3ternalsirenity, an X (formerly Twitter) user. While her item had a $19.99 sticker on it, Tape Head City is offering it for $16 (shipping included) on their website.

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 previously mentioned “Taylor Made Freestyle” is no longer accessible online after the 6 God was forced to take it down from all platforms since the late rapper’s estate objected to the exploitation of his likeness through artificial intelligence.

After being given a 24-hour deadline to remove the contentious song, the Canadian diva officially deleted the song from her social media platforms. It contained computer-generated vocals by both ‘Pac and Snoop Dogg.

The estate of Tupac stated in a cease and desist letter sent in April that it was “deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality.” The record is a clear exploitation of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop musicians of all time, in addition to being a blatant infringement of Tupac’s publicity rights and the estate’s legal rights. This use would never have received the Estate’s approval.

“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.”
