The internet has lit up now that Kendrick Lamar has released his fifth studio album and unsurprisingly, fans have been examining his lyrics one bar at a time.Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers hosts looks from Kodak Black, Ghostface Killah, Summer Walker, Blxst, Taylour Paige, Sampha, Baby Keem, Beth Gibbons, and more. As fans examine the record in detail, many couldn’t help but notice that Lamar mentioned Kanye West and Drake making nice after years of animosity.
The world witnessed J. Prince orchestrate the reconciliation of the two Rap icons last year in an effort to aid in the freedom of Larry Hoover. The pair even hosted a benefit concert that aired on Amazon Prime, and it was a reunion that Hip Hop didn’t think would arrive—at least not this soon.

“Daddy issues kept me competitive, that’s a fact, n*gga
I don’t give a f*ck what’s the narrative, I am that n*gga
When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused
Guess I’m not as mature as I think, got some healin’ to do”
