Even from behind bars Suge Knight expressed his feelings about Drake using AI 2pac for his Kendrick Lamar diss “Taylor Made Freestyle”.
While hip-hop fans are enjoying the recent beefs some people are not as pleased with the tactics being used in the war. Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Like That” targeting Drake and J. Cole has spawned several responses and responses to those responses. Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” has the internet split down the middle about his use of A. I Tupac and Snoop Dogg.
According to Complex, during his podcast Collect Call With Suge Knight the former mogul revealed his feelings on the track.
“Young people do what young people do. It’s y’all turn, but regarding the homie ‘Pac, he wasn’t no chump,” Knight said. “Putting him on a song and dissing Kendrick for everybody entertainment–that ain’t how it go.”
After declaring his issue with Pac being used, he reveals the exact issue with the track that surprised many fans. Suge claims putting Pac and Snoop on the same track was the part that wasn’t “a good look.”
“Then putting him on a song with Snoop, who was a part of his downfall and exit, ain’t ever a good look,” Knight added. “‘Pac was a king on that chessboard. He never was a pawn, so he can’t make him be a pawn now.”
While Snoop Dogg played clueless about any involvement in the track people have pondered how the family of Shakur felt. According to TMZ, 2Pac’s brother Morpheme Shakir thinks Pac was “weaponized” and wants the beef to stay between the two rappers. When Drake released “Taylor Made Freestyle” he promised to kick the dust up so Kendrick couldn’t avoid the confrontation.
We think it’s safe to say he succeeded and his use of Pac’s voice will keep the conversation going.
