Naw. There's always going to be another beef and a lyrically talented artist who is capable of dissing another in ways that make us all go:

Though, I believe it's one of the best diss tracks of this era, attacking Drake at the same time the Diddy stuff is going down. The timing of it was perfect, which makes it one of the best diss tracks.

But if "Lean Back" and "In Da Club" had their time as diss tracks, history will show that it'll only repeat with another rap beef.

Kendrick is definitely at his finest right now. It's his time, so let's give it to him. We all know that he is a lyrical genius, and his messages relate to the fans on a deeper level. It doesn't occur to me as a surprise because he truly deserves the big win. Let me tell you; his music has social relevance, motivational and of course, it is entertaining too. Come on, this guy is great,. let's admit it.

Kendrick truly deserves those triumphs. Some people might say he doesn't. They are entitled to their opinion. The awards earned are evidence of the fact that hip-hop is also an effective tool for people’s inspiration and could be a source of education, too.
