Big Daddy Kane again shows praise for J. Cole.
Big Daddy Kane continues showing his praise for J. Cole, as he calls him the greatest lyricist of this generation, ahead of Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
During his recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, he was asked about the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. “I’m actually more of a J. Cole fan, honestly,” he said. “I think he is probably, you know, the greatest lyricist of this era. He’s my personal favorite, you know, of all them cats.”
In the interview, he also revealed that he lost interest in Kendrick and Drake beef because of their fans. “I was trying to keep up with the Kendrick and Drake thing but I kinda lost interest,” he said. “It just wasn’t exciting to me… not because of them two, but because of the fanbase. The fanbase just made it to where, eughhh, I’m good.”
“It’s not a competitive thing about who spit the better bars. It’s a thing about fact-checking to see if this person told the truth,” he said about rapper’s fans.
He continued, “It’s like, if the line is dope and he dissed you, it’s dope. It’s that simple… Why are we trying to critique and decipher what was said? It’s just a dope rhyme. Enjoy the music, man, for what it is.” “It just wasn’t for me. It’s not about Kendrick or Drake; it’s the fanbase, the listeners and their comments and their views. They make it unenjoyable for me.”
