Kendrick Lamar and Drake continue to politely battle one another for the No. 2 spot behind Kanye West in the rap industry. AllHipHop points to a preview of Kendrick Lamar's verse for a new BET cypher, which includes some slightly unkind words about the Canadian du jour:

"Yeah, and nothing’s been the same since they dropped 'Control'/ And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes," he raps. "Ha-ha jokes on you, high-five, I’m bulletproof/ Your shyt'll never penetrate/ Pin the tail on the donkey/ Boy you been a fake".

Like everything these days, this all stems from Kendrick Lamar's"Control" verse, on which he name-checks Drake. Drake addressed that verse during his recent interview with Elliott Wilson, explaining: "[Kendrick] is giving people moments... but are you listening to it now, at this point in time? Okay... It was real cool for a couple weeks."

The cypher was taped for the upcoming BET Hip-Hop Awards, which air on October 15.

Kanye is already a legend. He isn't int he top 10 anymore. Neither is Weezy.

They're both Em, Nas, Hov status.

So Drake and Kendrick are battling for the No. 1 spot.

Pitchfork sucks Yeezy's duck anyways.

[Pool_Shark]

Kanye birthed this era but if you really wanna talk about whose doing it at the top, highest echelon it has to be Jay-Z. Dude is God status and probably the first rapper to be alive for it.

Everything he does is an event, house hold name, and accepted by just about everyone no way Jay isn't the most famous right now.
