The mud appears to have largely settled on the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar rap beef (for now), however the musical backwards and forwards between the 2 hip-hop titans has imprinted itself on popular culture. That imprint contains online game mods, as a Mortal Kombat 1 fan has not too long ago recreated each rappers within the sport to pit them towards one another. You’ll be able to try a match utilizing the mod beneath, however spoilers, it ends the identical method the real-world beef did: Kendrick gained.
The mod by NegativeZoneNerd is up on Nexus Mods as Def Jam MK1 Pack 1 – Kendrick VS Drake, a reference to the Def Jam preventing sport sequence starring totally different rappers and hip-hop artists from the mid-2000s. The sequence has been dormant since 2007, so followers haven’t been in a position to pit a whole lot of trendy rappers towards each other in a preventing sport. However this Mortal Kombat 1 mod is a good sufficient substitute. The Def Jam MK1 Pack has two choices to play as Lamar, one makes the “Not Like Us” rapper a pores and skin for Reiko, and the opposite permits you to play as him as a pores and skin for Kung Lao. Drake, in the meantime, is a pores and skin for Johnny Cage.

The Drake vs. Kendrick beef has been entertaining to observe unfold and I don’t suppose I’ve ever seen individuals be so unified on-line. Although it appears each of them have stopped dropping songs about one another for now, it was simply probably the most important popular culture moments of 2024, regardless that it’s solely Might. Folks like to watch others be haters. I now perceive why they held gladiator matches in historical Rome. Mortal Kombat 1 mods aren’t these, however the preventing sport is brutal sufficient that it offers you a modicum of the identical adrenaline rush.
Anyway, stream “Not Like Us” in your favourite music streaming service.
