Chet Hanks gave a hilariously brilliant breakdown of the ongoing war of words between Drake and Kendrick Lamar after his dad asked for an explanation.
Admittedly the world of music moves pretty quickly and not everyone can keep up about rivalries, feuds and all the shade that gets thrown around.
While he may be many people’s favorite actor, Tom Hanks admitted that he wasn’t quite up to date about the ongoing beef between hip hop behemoths Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

The 67-year-old actor asked his son Chet Hanks for a breakdown of everything that has been going on the past couple weeks and it is genuinely hilarious.
Now, depending on which side of the camp you fall on, you might not exactly agree with Chet’s assessment but the conversation between the pair is still quite funny.
The text conversation between the pair has gone viral on social media and people can’t get enough of the idea of the Oscar winning actor being super invested in where the feud ends up next.
Hanks asked: “BIG main, can you explain the Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud to me?" before Chet gave his play-by play breakdown of each of the hitmakers diss tracks.
“Yeah, so Drake and this other dude J Cole been saying they along with Kendrick are the ‘Big 3’ in Rap. Then Kendrick put out a song say ‘f*** the big 3, it’s just big ME’ initiating the beef.
“Then Drake was like ‘you got small feet cuz you’re like 5 foot 5 or whatever.’ and then Kendrick was like, you’re a dead beat dad and made fun of his Canadian accent.
“So Drake came back and was like, ‘oh yeah? Well I heard you beat your wife’ but literally like 30 seconds later Kendrick put out a diss overshadowing Drakes diss where he pretty much methodically dismantled Drakes entire psyche and called him a pedophile for flirting with young girls and revealing Drake had another kid that he was hiding from the world, which turned out to be false.
“Drake came back and was like, ‘hahah I gotcho ass, I had people give you false info to make you look stupid’
“But it didn’t even matter cuz then Kendrick just dropped another West Coast banger where he really went in labelling Drake a pedophile that was pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took me to your high school in Oakland and we walked in on the basketball game and everybody started going nuts.
“Like if you heard it you would just automatically know how to Crip walk with a stank face while clutching an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then dap him up and tell him ‘Town Bidness’ which solidified the win not only for Kendrick but the entire West Coast,”
And you know what the actor said after getting all of that info?
Well he might not have actually read it all.
Tom Hanks replied: “Holy Cow! These are fighting words. People taking sides? Who’s winning?”
To which Chet just laughed and said 'did you not just read what I said?'.
Amazing to put it mildly, but whether you think Drake or Kendrick has won we now have a rap feud to rival Nas and Jay-Z's with a treasure trove of bangers from two massive hip hop artists.
