Kendrick’s Drake-Villain Origin Story Begins With DMX


“I don’t like the way he walks, like, nothin’.”

Later that year, DMX made an appearance on Whoolywood, where he told DJ Whoo Kid that his issues with Drake “ain’t that serious.” X started to tell a story about a girl who went on tour with him but, curiously, decided against stirring more drama. Despite the DMX drama going down a year earlier, “Control” and its aftermath — which, as Drake told Vibe in 2014, kinda fucked with the rollout of his 2013 album, Nothing Was the Same — may have been the loudest siren initiating the Aubrey and Dot cold war. Drake dropped “The Language” on 2013’s NWTS, which came out the gate with a sub at K. Dot: “I don’t know why they been lyin’ but yo shit is not that inspirin’.” Later in that same verse he spews, “Fuck any nigga that’s talking that shit just to get a reaction …” and later, “I am the kid with the motor mouth / I am the one you should worry ’bout.” On Jay Rock’s “Pay for It,” Lamar fires back, “Been dissectin’ your motormouth, til I break down the engine / This ain’t no warnin’ shot, this a relevant henchmen / See my opponent, then — cease your existence”
