“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”
