@gq: Beefs and battles have always been a part of hip-hop, from Biggie vs. Pac to Jay-Z vs. Nas to, most recently, Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake. Jay-Z told GQ that he considers battling “one of the four pillars” of the genre. But he isn’t sure that things need to stay that way: “I don’t know if battling needs to be part of the culture anymore,” he tells GQ’s Frazier Tharpe. See more of Jay-Z’s conversation with @the_summerman for our April cover story at the link in bio.

Here is the thing: Kendrick warned Drake to keep it friendly and Drake kept mentioning Kendrick wife.

The guy that hired Dot to perform the diss record at the Super Bowl immediately after winning the battle talking like this is crazy. That boosted it way more than the fans ever could.

My pencil drawing for JAY-Z Title : Blueprint Of Greatness pencil portrait captures the essence of Jay-Z — a man who built an empire from rhythm, words, and vision. Through detailed realism and deep contrast, the artwork reflects his calm confidence, sharp intellect, and unshakable determination. It symbolizes how true greatness is designed, not inherited drawn from patience, resilience, and belief in one’s craft. If Jay-Z saw this artwork what would he say? If you are a real fan share #saintgilbertart @GQ

I kinda agree with him though. It shouldn’t lead to people’s loved ones being a casualty of war, it should always stay playful and fun. The internet bots plays a major role
