Chet Hank further elaborated on the back-and-forth diss tracks between the rappers as he mentioned Drake’s track ‘First Person Shooter‘ and Kendrick’s retaliatory diss track ‘Not Like Us’. He also mentioned some key insults, such as when Drake mocked Kendrick’s height and Kendrick called Drake a “deadbeat dad”, a pedophile, and ridiculed his Canadian accent.
Chet also showed some bias as he praised Kendrick’s successive tracks, including ‘6:16 in L.A.’ and ‘Meet the Grahams’. He specifically mentioned his final diss ‘Not Like Us’, which Chet described as a “methodical dismantling of Drake’s psyche“.
To make the example more understandable to his father, Chet drew parallels between Kendrick’s triumph to a moment from Tom’s own life: walking into a high school basketball game in Oakland to an enthusiastic crowd.
Tom’s response was pure bewilderment: “Holy cow! These are fighting words. People taking sides?? Who’s winning??”
While the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has paused for now, it has left fans, and Tom Hanks, plenty of time to catch up on the details.
