Big Daddy Kane weighs in on Kendrick Lamar & Drake beef.
Big Daddy Kane also reacted to the recent Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, and he revealed that he didn’t enjoy it because of their fans. The rap icon was asked about the beef during a new interview with The Art of Dialogue, to which he says he lost interest in the middle.
“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.”
During the battle, K. Dot and Drizzy released several diss tracks, and the Compton rapper was crowned the winner by most of the fans and rap fraternity. Kendrick also earned number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with his Mustard-produced track “Not Like Us.”
