Drake vs Kendrick Lamar has expose a long standing tradition in battle raps: using women as pawns and fodder for slinging insults. When the battle is arguing over who’s the bigger misogynist, does anyone really win? The women in these rappers’ lives sure don’t.
In the current digital economy, it is increasingly rare for the world to come together over a single event. Despite the increasingly segmented nature of the internet, however, this past weekend it seemed like, two seasoned artists at the top of their game, finally letting tensions bubble over into a clash of the titans after years of rumored friction. Starting with each response more unrelenting than the last.
The structure of battles leaves fans and consumers trapped in the afterlife of the dispute when the dust settles: large fandoms take up arms, and a creative competition can evolve into taking up for their favorite artist as not just more skilled, but morally superior – transforming the battle into a righteous crusade for dominance.
Objectively, both men are trading in moral inconsistency. Kendrick can barely purport to have a moral brightline around abuse and parental neglect when he has collaborated with serialon his most recent album. Drake’s accusations against Kendrick fall apart in kind; he declares Kendrick an abuser in the same track as he shouts out alleged chronic abuser Chris Brown.
In the ensuing weeks, the women around Kendrick Lamar and Drake are going to be thrust into an unprecedented level of scrutiny – their social media exhumed and pored over, every statement and response dissected – in service of a conflict they never signed up for. While the war of words may be over , the effects against the women involved continue to linger with a level of invasiveness that they never consented to.
