Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer The beef between Drake and what continues to be a strong sect of the hip-hop community grows deeper.

On Friday night (April 19), the rapper released a song on his social media entitled “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which uses A.I.

vocals from Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg on a stopgap between diss records as he awaits Kendrick Lamar’s reply to his freshly released “Push Ups.”A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) On the track, an imagined Shakur speaks directly to Lamar and addresses his silence since releasing his verse on “Like That,” a diss that started off this feud last month. “Kendrick we need ya, the West Coast savior / Engraving your name in some hip-hop history,” raps an artificial Shakur. “Call him a bitch for me / Talk about him liking young girls as a gift for me.” Drake continues by using Snoop Dogg’s computer-generated vocals to speak directly to Lamar. “World is watching this chess game, but oh you out of moves Dot / You know that the OG never fucking doubted you / But right now it seem like you posted up without a clue / Or what the fuck you ’bout to do.” Many have conjectured that Drake rapped the Shakur and Snoop Dogg verses and used A.I.

to manipulate how they sound. But Drake comes in with his own verse at the end of the song, stating that it’s a stopgap until he gets a response from Lamar.
