Drake seems ready to reignite his feud with Kendrick Lamar, but fans recently got a glimpse into a time when he was singing the Pulitzer Prize winner’s praises. He uploaded footage to his website 100 Gigs showing him and Noah “40” Shebib working on an unreleased collaboration with their current rival.
In the video, the duo is in the studio listening to a beat that the 6 God described as “crazy.” When the beat ends, For all dogs The rapper says, “I know where he’s at, he’s gonna deliver the shit.” 40 agreed, replying, “When he told me Kendrick, it just made so much sense. Oh, how awesome! So good.”
That track was never released and the beat eventually went to Action Bronson. The Queens rapper released “Actin’ Crazy” in 2015 with production from 40 and Omen of Dreamville. Check out footage of Drizzy and 40 discussing the potential track below.

Of course, Drake and Kendrick Lamar have collaborated on tracks for the world to hear and love, starting with K. Dot’s “Buried Alive Interlude” on the 2011 album. Watch out. They next teamed up with 2 Chainz and A$AP Rocky for the 2012 hit “F**kin’ Problems.” Their last collaboration, “Poetic Justice,” came the next year and was part of Lamar’s good child, mAAd-city.
Their relationship began to blossom that summer when the PgLang artist called out the entire rap scene in his “Control” verse and then specifically Drake in his verse at the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards. The Toronto superstar responded with “The Language” and the two traded not-so-subtle disses until the feud broke out in the open last March.
From March to May, fans received the fiery tracks “Like That,” “Push Ups,” “Taylor Made Freestyle,” “Euphoria,” “6:16 In LA,” “Family Matters,” “Meet The Grahams,” “Not Like Us,” and “The Heart Part 6.” Lamar was dubbed the winner by the public, but Drake hasn’t given up quite yet, trying his hand at tracks like “Blue Green Red,” “Circadian Rhythm (The Language 2),” and “No Face,” all of which were part of his 100 Gigs releases last month. Watch the music videos for “Family Matters” and “Not Like Us” below.
