Yasiin Bey Disses Drake, Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole Over 'Like That' Beat

by Daryl Nelson

Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, doesn't think much of the Kendrick Lamar—Drake battle. He's not all that fond of J. Cole's part in it, either.

The Black Star rapper made that clear in a newly released freestyle, in which he references the Big 3, who are, of course, Drizzy, Dot, and Cole. 

Plus, he did it over the beat to Metro Boomin and Future's "Like That," the song where Kendrick dissed Drake and Cole, which started the Big 3 beef.

"Greedy, seedy, and creepy / Corny, horny, and boring / Bougie, goofy, and moody / Foolish, ruthless, and clueless / Variations on a petty Big 3 / A whole lot to look at, but not much to see," spit Bey.

It seems he didn't care for all of the mudslinging that took place during the battle, because much of it wasn't about who could out rhyme each other, it was about who had the juiciest rumor.

And remember, Bey caused a firestorm earlier this year when he called Drake a pop artist, not a Hip Hop artist. Now, we'll have to see if any of the Big 3 respond.

What do you think about Bey's freestyle?
