USA Today10-02-2025

Kendrick Lamar's recent rap feud with Drake reached its zenith on Sunday night during the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show.
Drake has endured months and months of Lamar's smash-hit, Grammy-winning anthem 'Not Like Us' playing all over the place, and Lamar seemed very pleased to call out the Canadian rapper during his electric Super Bowl halftime show performance.
In fact, Lamar looked right at the camera as he mentioned Drake's name in the 'Not Like Us' performance with a big smile on his face for all of the world to see. You want to talk about a victory lap? This is that.

Drake Calls Canadian Politician A 'Goof' For Attending Toronto Kendrick Lamar Show, He Replies

Kendrick Lamar and SZA brought the Grand National Tour to Toronto this past week, sparking internet speculation about the expected attendance and potential Drake retaliation. His only public reaction came via a DM to Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, who attended the show, but expressed his regret after being deemed a 'goof' by the 'Nokia' artist. 'I went for SZA, not Kendrick,' the leader of the New Democratic Party wrote on his Instagram story on Sunday (June 15). 'I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn't have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city and *Canadian flag emoji*. For me it'll always be Drake over Kendrick. *Peace sign emoji*.' Video of Singh at the show circulated online, causing Drizzy to jump in his DMs and tell him, 'You're a goof.' To make matters worse for the 46-year-old politician, the Toronto superstar shared his insulting message on his Instagram story. Given all of the talk about Toronto concertgoers yelling lyrics to 'Not Like Us' both in the Rogers Centre and at restaurants in the city, the 'Nokia' artist was seemingly especially bothered by a local politician 'betraying' him. Drake allegedly unfollowed Jagmeet Singh on Instagram, adding him to a long list of people that the RIAA record-breaking artist has removed from his following list. Some of the biggest names are LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan, both of whom attended Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert in June 2024 and expressed their public support for K. Dot's music. DeRozan's 'betrayal' especially stung Drake, as he was there to support him when he got traded from the Toronto Raptors to the San Antonio Spurs. DeRozan claimed that he and the 6 God were still cool, but Lamar was his family. He doubled down on supporting his fellow Compton native by appearing in the 'Not Like Us' music video, partially because he was referenced in the song. 'I'm glad DeRoz' came home, y'all didn't deserve him neither,' the Pulitzer Prize winner rapped about the Sacramento Kings hooper. Watch the 'Not Like Us' music video below.

Music Review: Bruce Springsteen takes seven ‘Lost Albums' off the shelf for a new box set

Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Perhaps as a result, the most interesting work on 'Tracks II' comes when he stretches out and explores pathways not in his wheelhouse: countrypolitan Bruce, border-town Bruce, Burt Bacharach-inspired Bruce and a set of synthesizer-based songs modeled after his Oscar-winning 'Streets of Philadelphia.' Oddly, the one disc of strays cobbled together that feels most like an E Street Band record is the least compelling. Advertisement Breaking down a big pool of music Since these are seven distinct albums, it's worth evaluating them that way. 'LA Garage Sessions '83' captures Springsteen working virtually alone at a home in the Hollywood Hills. It was squarely in between his 'Nebraska' and 'Born in the USA' albums, and he seems torn between those two approaches. There are character studies here, and more lighthearted fare like 'Little Girl Like You,' with a single man yearning to settle down. The most striking cut is 'The Klansman,' about a boy and his racist father, yet it cries out for more development. Ultimately, Springsteen chose the right albums to release at the time. Advertisement The song 'Streets of Philadelphia' was a genuine departure musically, and Springsteen decided to make an album in the same vein, with synthesizers and drum loops the dominant elements. If released in the early 1990s, this would have been the most contemporary-sounding disc of his career, with atmospherics that occasionally recall U2. Springsteen pulled it at the last minute, reasoning that the stories of doomed relationships — sample lyric: 'We loved each other like a disease' — was too much like 'Tunnel of Love.' At the same time he recorded 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' in 1995, Springsteen also convened a country band steered by pedal steel player Marty Rifkin. Their work was terrific, led by the one-two punch of 'Repo Man' and the Johnny Rivers cover, 'Poor Side of Town.' The title cut to a disc he calls 'Somewhere North of Nashville' escaped into the public some two decades later. Since the somber 'Joad' won a Grammy, who are we to second-guess his choice of what to put out? 'Nashville,' though, is a rollicking good time. 'Inyo' is similar to 'Joad' and 'Devils & Dust,' mostly acoustic-based narratives, here many of them stories of the Southwest. Springsteen even appropriately brings in mariachi bands for 'Adelita' and 'The Lost Charro.' Soozie Tyrell's violin is notable, particularly on the majestic 'When I Build My Beautiful House.' We're guessing that Springsteen may have considered 'Inyo' one album too many in the same style, but it's still strong work. Advertisement At one point Springsteen considered making 'Western Stars,' his salute to early 1970s California songwriting, a double album. When he didn't, the songs on 'Twilight Hours' were left behind. Here Bacharach is the primary influence, and this almost feels like Elvis Costello's collaboration with Burt, only without him (and is the lyric 'God give me strength' a hat-tip to that project?). The crooning Bruce of 'Sunday Love' is spellbinding, maybe the box's best song. 'Lonely Town' sits at the intersection of Bacharach and Roy Orbison, while 'Dinner at Eight' is a lovely sum-up. 'Twilight Hours' may startle Springsteen fans — and impress them, too. The workmanlike songs on 'Faithless' were written on commission in two weeks, the soundtrack to a movie that was never made. It's a good bet it would have been a moody Western. When Springsteen duels with Tom Morello on the song 'Another Thin Line,' you realize how little you've heard his electric guitar on 'Tracks II.' The album 'Perfect World' is the one here made up of leftovers from different periods, with the greatest E Street Band participation. Here's the deal, though: Most good E Street Band material has already been released. The best left behind for this disc is 'You Lifted Me Up,' with minimalist lyrics and a vocal collaboration with Patti Scialfa and Steve Van Zandt. The box gives Springsteen completists plenty to mull over, and you can question whether these 'lost discs' would get more attention released separately instead of together. If it's too much, he's releasing a 20-song set of its highlights. Advertisement __
