EMINEM
You built a career off war stories and enemies dead,
Now you spar with the past like it still owe you respect.
You made beef an identity, thrived off the threat,
But the room quiet now—who you yellin’ at next?
You taught rappers to bleed, then stayed stitched in that lane,
Legend of destruction, still married to rage.
J. COLE
You warned ‘em “false prophets,” then bowed out the fight,
Threw a jab, then apologized—still shadowboxin’ at night.
You critique the machine but still tour with the crown,
Preach moral high ground while you measure who down.
You say growth is the mission, no ego involved,
But you stepped in the ring just to prove you evolved.
KENDRICK LAMAR
You dissected a king, left the throne in a mess,
Then wore the same pressure, just quieter stress.
You exposed every crack in another man’s fame,
Then hid behind art when the mirror knew names.
You call out the culture, then choreograph blame,
Savior complex heavy, still human with stains.
DRAKE
You mastered subliminals, ghost pressure and charm,
Turned cold wars to playlists, sneak dissin’ in calm.
You took shots from the throne, played victim in grace,
Then rewrote the story when momentum changed face.
You weaponize melody, disguise every swing,
Pop star with a poker face, battlin’ in strings.
ME
I ain’t revisin’ history, I’m highlightin’ patterns,
Y’all won wars off timing, not indestructible talent.
I don’t diss from the clouds or retreat in disguise,
I stand in the ring with my name on the line.
Every bar got a memory, every memory cut,
One punch hit the record, next one test your guts.
Legends left fingerprints all over the beef,
I study the heat, then I turn it on me.
This ain’t hate, it’s pressure—truth sharpened to blades,
If the crown ever slips, it’s ‘cause time learned my name.
They say “respect the greats,” I respect the climb,
But legends still human when the clock press time.
I’m unknown with intent, they known with a past,
I’m buildin’ momentum, they protectin’ the plaque.
No throne too high when the legs start weak,
Crowns look solid till the pressure speak.
I come from the bottom where excuses don’t live,
They come from eras where success forgives.
I don’t fear big names, I study the flaws,
Goliaths fall quickest when they worship applause.
They got history backing ‘em, I got right now,
They rap from the peak, I’m climbin’ with vows.
I ain’t dazzled by numbers or legends on pause,
Streams don’t punch back when the pen got jaws.
They comfortable sharp, I’m desperate precise,
Hunger cut cleaner than privilege knives.
I’m upcoming with venom, no safety net trust,
They rich in protection, I’m rich in the rust.
Every bar I write got eviction in it,
Every line they spit got permission in it.
I don’t need a classic to stand in the room,
I need one verse to make ceilings move.
They say “wait your turn,” I say “turns expire,”
I don’t knock on doors—I stress-test the wire.
Big names cast shadows, I walk through the dark,
Light hit different wh
