American rapper and music mogul Kanye West, also known as Ye, has weighed in on the feud between the two rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
In a recent interview with DJ Akademiks, the controversial rapper Kanye West claimed that Drake’s impact on hip-hop far surpasses that of Kendrick Lamar, despite Lamar’s dominance in lyrical battles. West acknowledged Lamar’s skill in technical rapping and storytelling but argued that Drake has a more significant cultural influence, shaping global music trends and reaching a broader audience.
“One thing is, Drake is a million times better than Kendrick Lamar and a million times more important to the hip-hop world. What Future and Young Thug have done is what Drake culturally is. That sh*t was insane, bro. It’s universal,” Ye noted.
Kanye West’s comments have sparked significant debate within the hip-hop community, especially considering Kendrick Lamar’s standing as one of the most critically acclaimed rappers of his generation. Lamar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning album DAMN. His thought-provoking, poetic lyrics have cemented his reputation as a formidable force in the industry. On the other hand, Drake’s ability to seamlessly blend rap with pop, R&B, and global influences has made him one of the most commercially successful and streamed artists of all time.
West’s opinions, however, are never far from controversy. Throughout his career, he has made bold statements and held polarising views, often pushing boundaries in both his music and public persona. His latest musical projects have been marked by experimental soundscapes, further reinforcing his reputation as an unpredictable artist.
In addition to his music, West’s personal life remains under intense media scrutiny. His marriage to Bianca Censori, an Australian architect and creative designer, continues to attract attention, with the couple regularly making headlines for their unconventional public appearances and fashion choices.
