Snoop Dogg was just as surprised as the rest of the Hip Hop community to hear his voice featured on Drake‘s latest diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar, which also uses 2Pac‘s audio likeness thanks to artificial-intelligence technology.
On Friday (April 19), the Canadian superstar released “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which features computer-generated voices of the two West Coast icons pressing K.Dot to make his next move in the ongoing rap beef.

On the joint, Tha Doggfather can be heard rapping: “Dot, you know that the D-O-G never fucking doubted you/ But right now it seem like you posted up without a clue of what the fuck you ’bout to do.”
Soon after the song went live, the Long Beach native took to social and shared a hilarious reaction to his “feature.”

“They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night,” he said in a brief Instagram clip. “Why everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the fuck— what happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Good night.”
Less than a week after “Push Ups” leaked online, Drake amped up his feud with Kendrick by dropping yet another diss.
Whereas the authenticity of his first counterattack was under speculation for a while, “Taylor Made Freestyle” openly embraces artificial intelligence to convey perspectives in addition to Drizzy’s via lyrics that he wrote.
After using the two legends’ viewpoints to press his adversary to drop a response, the 37-year-old references Taylor Swift‘s new album and TDE boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith with the bars: “But now we gotta wait a fucking week ’cause Taylor Swift is your new Top/ And if you ’bout to drop, she gotta approve/ This girl really ’bout to make you act like you not in a feud/ She tailor made your schedule with Ant, you out of the loop.”
Soon after the track went live, Akademiks revealed during a livestream that he received a text from the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker that reads: “Ak, you know I was trying to come off tour and relax. N-ggas done fucked up my whole feng shui. Now I gotta eat until this debate is done.”

The Compton native also reportedly has a response ready to go, according to Joe Budden Podcast host Antwan “Ish” Marby, who also claims its viciousness is comparable 2Pac’s notorious “Hit Em Up” joint.
“Some people that have heard the Kendrick track, I heard that his energy is just something that’s going to be hard for Drake to match. They said he’s coming on some Pac ‘Hit Em Up’ energy,” he said.
