On Friday, March 14, Kanye West shared his thoughts on Playboi Carti’s new album MUSIC and declared that he wasn’t a fan of Kendrick Lamar or his three guest appearances.
After sharing several screenshots showing him listening to the album, particularly praising “CRANK” and “I SEEEEEE YOU BABY BOI,” he tweeted that he didn’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music and didn’t think he should have been on MUSIC. “I don’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music,” he tweeted in all caps. He raps very well, but I didn’t need to hear him on Carti’s album.”
K Dot appears on three of the 30 tracks on Music: “MOJO JOJO,” “BACKD00R,” and “GOOD CREDIT.” Ye previously collaborated with Kendrick on a pair of tracks, receiving a writing credit on his 2015 single “All Day” and rapping alongside him on The Life of Pablo song “No More Parties in LA.” Kendrick also served as the supporting act during Ye’s tour following the release of Yeezus.
As recently as last month, Ye praised his former collaborator and said that he “really loved” his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. “It was my favorite halftime show since like the Michael Jackson era,” he said.
“They did ‘Be Humble’—the way people’s heads were moving, I was just like shook. This is like super fresh. The man’s voice control, all that. Then they build up the controversy on whether he’s gonna do the record [‘Not Like Us’].”
He also shared his thoughts on K Dot’s beef with Drake, who he has repeatedly praised as of late despite their complicated history, when he appeared on Justin Laboy’s The Download podcast. “If you rap against Kendrick, you will lose,” he told Laboy, per XXL. “If you rap against Kendrick Lamar, it’s a really difficult task. But perhaps it’s something… Unless you’re a psycho genius like me.”
