Common Speaks On Kendrick Lamar And Drake Drama

Common has thoughts about the great rap war between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. During an interview with 7PM in Brooklyn, Com Sense asked whether Kendrick and Drizzy went too far in their feud. He explained that there weren’t too many rules when it comes to war except for leaving deceased and terminally ill people out of the bout. However, he opined that the battle between the two heavyweights was “incredible” and didn’t think they went too far with their subject matter. While he stated that he wouldn’t go after family members, he admitted that he dabbled in that subject during his feud with Drizzy. The Chicago emcee also broke down the battle criteria at Carmelo Anthony‘s request“ In a battle, first of all, I think the criteria is that you’ve got to have lyrics… Saying something that’s like, ‘Man, I’m lighting this ni**a up.’ The lyricism is there. It’s got to be lines that punch, they punch, like you’ve got to hit. And I like wordplay with that, too… But, if what you’re saying is just clever and it’s got punch, to me that’s part of it… For me, I wasn’t like, ‘This is too far.’ I just was like, ‘Damn, this is a really incredible battle.
