Per Complex, Lamar then goes on to seemingly reference ‘For All The Dogs,’ Drake’s most recent album:
“Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD
Motherf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me
n***a, bum, what? I’m really like that
And your best work is a light pack
N***a, Prince outlived Mike Jack’
n***a, bum, ‘fore all your dogs gettin’ buried
That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary n***a, bum”
According to the outlet, on ‘First Person Shooter,’ J. Cole rapped about him, Drake and Lamar being the big three.
“Love when they argue the hardest MC/ Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?/We the big three like we started a league.”
