"Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A-minor." With every second Kendrick Lamar holds on to the last letter of "minor" in Not Like Us, the inflammatory song about his fellow rapper Drake, his raspy vocals reverberate through hip-hop and popular culture.

For more than a decade, Drake sat on the throne, as multiple rappers tried and failed to unseat him. Damage was done by Pusha T, but the Canadian MC was able to withstand the character assassination by his longtime nemesis.

Since the initial success of his albums, Kendrick has stayed relatively quiet until Drake sparked Kendrick’s hatred in "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle".
