When not splashing in deep, series clinching three–pointers, Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard enjoys exchanging the basketball for a mic, dropping out rap tracks at a frequent rate. With his rhymes continuing to impress listers, most hail Lillard as the NBA's best rapper among a decent-sized crowd including other players such as Allen Iverson, Lonzo Ball, Andre Drummond and Lou Williams. However, it appears that those within that crowd no longer intend to sit quietly behind Lillard as he rules the NBA's rap game. After joining Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman on ESPN's First Take, Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III voiced his beliefs regarding LIllard's skills behind the microphone. When Kellerman asked Bagley who reigns supreme as the NBA's best rapper, Bagley placed himself above Lillard, as he stated, "Man, me. I love music, so I'm going to go with myself." Bagley even mentioned his openness to a potential rap battle between the two, taking place on First Take's stages.

The track came out just 12 hours after Bagley's comments aired. Throughout the roughly two–minute track Lillard refers to Bagley as an "amatuer," "clown" and mentions his unestablished stature in the league. https://t.co/ZPv9kvIGSZ pic.twitter.com/SmWjwWKTsZ — Damian Lillard (@Dame_Lillard) June 21, 2019 Refusing to back down, Bagley then responded with his own dis track directed at Lillard.
