Drake continues to stir the pot with his ongoing "100 Gigs" series, recently dropping a clip that teases an unreleased collaboration with Kendrick Lamar. The new footage, released on August 27, features Drake and his longtime producer, Noah "40" Shebib, discussing a beat that was initially co-produced by Dreamville's Omen.
In the video, Drake praises the beat and expresses confidence that Kendrick Lamar would excel on it. "For him, where he’s at," Drake says, "I know he’s gonna murder this." Shebib's response suggests the beat was intended for a Drake-Lamar collaboration, further fueled by its later use by Action Bronson in his 2013 track "Actin' Crazy."
The timing of the footage is significant, aligning with a period when Drake and Lamar were collaborating on tracks like "Poetic Justice" and "F*ckin Problems." However, their relationship soured following Lamar’s "Control" verse, leading to tensions that Drake later addressed in songs like "The Language."
Drake’s recent focus on Kendrick Lamar in his "100 Gigs" series hints at a strategic move. By revisiting this old content, Drake may be looking to rekindle the rivalry or set the stage for future interactions. Speculation is already brewing about whether Drake might release additional material or insights into their past conflicts.
As Drake continues to navigate his public feuds with subtlety, the upcoming weeks could reveal more about his plans and how they relate to his ongoing relationship with Lamar.
