\n‘Ran to Atlanta’ calls out Lamar in chorus<\/h2>\n
Future kicks off the track “Ran to Atlanta” saying he’s “cuttin’ ties” and doing “whatever it gon’ take to get lil’ bro out the can.”<\/p>\n
He then calls Drake “twin,” and Drake jumps in with the song’s chorus.<\/p>\n\nKnow what I’m saying’?<\/em>Outsiders back to what it was, you know what I’m sayin’?<\/em>Atlanta’ll tell you ’bout my run, you know what I’m sayin’?<\/em>Ask Pluto, Bank or 21, you know what I’m sayin’?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\nFans were quick to point out the similarities in the lyrics and the name of the song to lyrics from Lamar’s Grammy-winning song “Not Like Us,” which calls Drake out by name. In the third verse, Lamar accuses Drake of performing shows in Atlanta when he needs a confidence boost \u2014 or a check.<\/p>\n\nAtlanta was the Mecca, buildin<\/em>‘ railroads and trains<\/em>Bear with me for a second, let me put y’all on game<\/em>The settlers was usin’ townfolk to make em’ richer<\/em>Fast-forward, 2024, you got the same agenda<\/em>You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance<\/em><\/p>\n\nLamar’s lyrics were interpreted as a reference to another Drake song, “Family Matters,” in the back-and-forth of their diss tracks, where Drake calls Lamar an “activist” and says his friends are “dippin’ to Atlanta.” Lamar has repeatedly referred to Atlanta as the “Mecca” for Black culture in his work.<\/p>\n
Where does Future fit in Drake-Kendrick feud?<\/h2>\n
The professional-turned-personal feud between Drake and Lamar allegedly began more than a decade ago when Lamar was starting to have more success in the rap genre, despite the two working together on previous projects.<\/p>\n
Lamar took aim at big names in rap in his collaboration with Big Sean’s song “Control.” Drake called the take “ambitious” at the time and said Lamar wasn’t coming for him, but if he did, they would cross that bridge.<\/p>\n
Subtle shots were taken at one another over the next few years through their music, until 2024, when Lamar went after Drake directly on a song with Future and Metro Boomin. “Like That” lyrics said there was no “Big 3” in rap, and it was just Lamar at the top of his game. Lamar previously won a Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2018 for his 2017 album DAMN.<\/p>\n\nThen the diss tracks took off, with Drake and Lamar working overtime to release music as the attention around the feud rose.<\/p>\n\nFuture has been featured on songs from both artists, some of which include disses at one another. In an interview with GQ, Future said he “didn’t know they had nothing going on,” but the author noted Future said this with a “smirk.” Future went on to say he was confused by the “Big 3” debate, and he was “so player” he didn’t feel the need to speak on it.<\/p>\n
“If I didn’t get made, nobody should have gotten mad,” Future told the outlet. “Got no reason to be mad at nobody. I just told you, I’m chilling. Do I sound like I’m mad at anybody?”<\/p>\n
Future moved to the Atlanta metro when he was young and was raised in Decatur, Georgia. He released his first album in 2012 after his first mixtape was released in 2010.<\/p>\n\nIrene Wright is the Atlanta Connect reporter with USA Today\u2019s Deep South Connect team.
