A Word: Hit After Hit: Rap in a Post Kendrick v. Drake World
Drake didn\u2019t know who he was messing with, and was never on Kendrick Lamar\u2019s level in hip hop. That\u2019s the verdict of cultural commentator and author Tour\xe9. On today\u2019s episode of A Word, he joins host Jason Johnson to break down the meaning behind the brutal rap battle, and whether Not Like Us, BBL Drizzy, Family Matters and other songs central to the beef will rewrite the blueprint for diss tracks forever.\n\nGuest: Tour\xe9, host of the Tour\xe9 Show podcast, and author of Nothing Compares 2 U: An Oral History of Prince\xa0\n\nPodcast production by Ahyiana Angel\n\nWant more A Word?
