Rap legend LL Cool J has shared his thoughts on the high-profile feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, calling it a significant boost for the Hip Hop scene.
During an appearance on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, he discussed the impact of the rivalry between these two genre giants.
LL Cool J believes the clash was a positive force for Hip Hop, with both artists delivering strong performances. According to him, Kendrick Lamar emerged as the winner, but Drake also maintained his dignity and performed admirably, giving his fans something to be proud of. He emphasized that as long as such rivalries do not derail an artist from their ultimate goals, they can be a wonderful aspect of the industry.
Ice Cube also offered his perspective, suggesting the feud is far from over. In a discussion with Shaquille O’Neal on The Big Podcast, the N.W.A icon commented on the intense exchanges that escalated to include personal accusations. He endorsed the competitive spirit of the feud, noting that while Kendrick has landed more effective punches, Drake still has the potential to make a comeback. He advised Kendrick to stay prepared for any further developments.
Ice Cube’s comments mark a notable shift, as he has previously expressed reservations about rap feuds. Despite his personal experiences with such conflicts, he has stated that he doesn’t believe they are necessary for a successful career. However, he acknowledged that when involved in a beef, one must fully commit and not hold back.
