Joey Bada$$ Takes Aim at Kendrick Lamar
Joey recently dropped another chilling diss track titled “My Town.” And on the rap track, the Brooklyn-born artist takes some hellacious shots at Compton rap star Kendrick Lamar.
“I’m the real boogeyman. Y’all n****s should be afraid. Get the general, I’m killing his troops,” he says, aiming at Lamar’s “Boogeyman” nickname.
He also uses Kendrick’s Pulitzer Prize for his 2018 album DAMN, as satire in his lyrical assault.
“Don’t make me Pulitzer, better be wise because / I’m dottin’ T’s and cross your eyes like Whitaker,” Joey raps.
This is not the first time that Joey has aimed at K. Dot.
On a new song titled, The Finals, which he released on May 15, the Bed Stuy native invites the Grammy-winner to enter a rap feud. Challenging him to lyrical fisticuffs.
“I salute you, Kenny, but I know you’re well aware / You lookin’ for some competition? Then just know that I’ll be right here,” he raps on the song.
However, the main target on that particular track is TDE rapper Ray Vaughn. The two have exchanged several diss tracks this month alone. In this song, Badass accuses Ray of clout chasing behind Kendrick.
Joey raps: “The way you let Dot d**k sit in your mouth / This that same d**k linkin’ I was talkin’ about / You n****s would do anything for the clout / Crash out over n****s who won’t even let you in they house / I bet you ain’t even got his number/It’s funny how the thirst is bein’ disguised as hunger.”
Kendrick is just over a year removed from a heated rap battle with Drake. It will be interesting to see if Bada$$ gets a response.
