Tom Hanks doesn’t need Genius annotations to get the play-by-play on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle … ’cause his son Chet can break it down … and he did just that.
Chet — who’s moonlighted as a rapper/reggae artist in the past, and has a firm grasp on all things hip-hop — shared a hilarious text message exchange with his movie star dad this week … who was apparently uber-curious about the year’s biggest moment in pop culture.
You can easily see Chet’s inner rap nerd burst out explaining the beef with intense detail … but he may have lost his pops along the way, especially based on how Tom responded.
In reply to Chet’s very long text explaining the whole beef … Tom wrote, “Holy cow! These are fighting words. People taking sides?? Who’s winning??”
To that, Chet simply said … “Did you not just read what I said” — which seems to suggest to people Kendrick is winning/won, at least based on CH’s interpretation of things. Like we said, he posted the entire exchange on his IG Story, and the internet is having a field day with it.
Of course … the Hanks household is no stranger to hip-hop, even outside of Chet. As you may or may not know, Chet’s mom (and Tom’s wife) Rita Wilson is a big rap buff herself — particularly when it comes to Naughty by Nature and their classic hit “Hip Hop Hooray.”
In terms of the Kendrick-Drake beef … it’s all quiet on the war front right now, as it appears the saga has come and gone — without any new barbs being thrown from either side.
Drizzy has been dealing with continued drama at his pad … but otherwise, this thing’s over. Here’s hoping Chet filled Tom in on that — and if he has other questions, just ask ya boy!
