2024 has been the year of hate in hip-hop. There’s been so many diss tracks released this year that’s hard to keep track. But the ones that have stood out the most are the ones from Drake and Kendrick Lamar during their infamous beef (that could still be going on).
Recently, their feud went to a level hip-hop has never seen before, with Drake taking legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG) in two separate petitions.
In one, he claimed the music giant conspired with Spotify to inflate the streams of Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” In the other, he accused UMG of defamation for allowing the release of the diss track, which falsely accuses the Toronto rapper of being a “certified pedophile” and sex offender.”
With that in mind, we look back at the year in diss tracks.
