This is the way the Drake vs. Lamar feud ends: not with a banger, but with a weeper

LZ Granderson: Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar feud has dragged on for nearly a year .

He says when feud involves chart-topping musicians, the charts eventually deliver a verdict.

LZ: The real sign Kendrick has triumphed has been mellowing out atop the Hot 100 the past four weeks , a gentle duet between Lamar and SZA .

“Luther” is Kendrick Lamar ’s longest-running Hot 100 chart-topper, with four straight weeks at No. 1 .

The song is known the world over, but more as a source of LOLz, as a dance challenge.

Not since the Christmas carol “ Deck the Halls ” has “fah” borne so much weight.

“Luther” is what a hip-hop ballad duet sounds like in the Gen Z era: more moody, impressionistic a pillowy sigh.

The song seems to be the biggest beneficiary of Kendrick ’s current cultural dominance.

“ In My Feelings ” was for Drake , who rose to No. 1 after a social mediafueled dance challenge.
