Kanye West is stirring up trouble again — now by commenting negatively on Kendrick Lamar’s music.
West stated on X (previously Twitter) his strong disapproval of Lamar’s music. Although he acknowledged Lamar’s skill as a rapper, he felt that Lamar’s contribution was unnecessary on Playboi Carti’s newest album, Music.
“I DONT LIKE KENDRICK LAMARS MUSIC,” West ranted on X. He added, “HE RAPS VERY GOOD BUT I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON CARTI ALBUM.”
The remark seems unexpected given that West had previously praised some of Lamar’s skills. As late as last month, he declared that nobody could make Lamar lose a rap battle, comparing his skill to an invincible move in Street Fighter.
If you try to challenge Kendrick Lamar, you won’t win,” he stated emphatically, further explaining, “You see, in the game Street Fighter, if you choose Chun-Li, she has an unbeatable kick. Similarly, it’s impossible to defeat that move.
The Donda rapper also reflected on Lamar’s recent beef with Drake, implying Lamar had temporarily defeated the Canadian rapper. He compared it to superheroes going off the radar and coming back stronger in sequels. He said, “[Lamar] took him down for a little bit. Maybe it’s like in superhero films where characters like Wolverine or something just goes away for a couple of films.”
Meanwhile, Playboi Carti’s Music is his first album released since Whole Lotta Red in 2020. The project, adequately filled with 30 tracks as well as stretching across an hour, features a stacked lineup including The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, and Young Thug; in addition to Kendrick Lamar.
Celebrated by many for continually pushing boundaries in the rap scene, Carti has maintained widespread influence since his 2017 breakout hit Magnolia, which went triple platinum. His devoted fanbase has eagerly anticipated this new release, fueling high expectations.
Despite any criticism from Kanye West, Music continues to thrive. Carti has consistently been a key figure in hip-hop, featuring on notable tracks like “Fein” by Travis Scott and “Type Shit” by Future and Metro Boomin.
