Say My Name: A History of Drake and Kendrick Lamar's Subliminal Cold War and Disses

Drizzy and K Dot's lyrical standoffs.

"Darkside/Gone" - Kendrick used Dre's comeback to spit a few un-decoded messages to his northern competitor. With the Young Money MC having success with his hit "Energy," K Dot camouflaged his shots and spit:"But still I got enemies giving me energy I wanna fight now/ Subliminally sent to me all of this hate/ I thought I was holding the mic down."(Photos from left: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for BET, Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images)
"Deep Water" - This might actually be the one to jump-start the war and bring the gloves out because whether a name was dropped or not, Drake is the target. Feeling himself immensely, Kendrick questions the 6 God's started-from-the-bottom claims with this dead-on missile."Motherf**kers know I started from the bottom" and "They liable to bury him, they nominated six to carry him/ They worrying him to death, but he's no vegetarian/ The beef is on his breath, inheriting the drama better than/ A great white, n***a, this is life in my aquarium." (Photos from left: WENN.com, Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
