Some people are very tired of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, but others are just getting around to commenting on it. Of course, debate over this clash of the titans has raged heavily online even before things really took a turn with the "Like That" verse and the ensuing lyrical chaos. Moreover, fans continue to argue for their winner across different metrics, and one of the Internet's most controversial and incendiary cultural commentators threw his hat into the ring. During a recent interview with Say Cheese!, Charleston White explained why he thinks the 6ix God is a more worthy MC than Mr. Morale.
"They ain't going nowhere," Charleston White said of the Los Angeles artists that Kendrick Lamar brought out at his "Pop Out" concert. "Ain't nobody finna listen to no bunch of up-and-coming L.A. artists but L.A. people in their neighborhood. Don't nobody want to hear that s**t. N***a, Kendrick, n***a, listen. Let me just say this: Drake way better. N***a, Drake way better rapping.
Charleston White Speaks On Kendrick Lamar Versus Drake
"N***a, I know Drake songs," Charleston White continued. "I ain't never heard a n***a in Texas pull up bumping Kendrick's s**t, nothing! N***a, we like -– as much as I don't like that n***a. N***a, you heard me who I -– come on, my n***a. I was just going against the grain. But come on, let's be fair and clear. Man, Kendrick can't compare. Unless you like twisting your fingers up like the r***rded people. That's the only way you gon' like Kendrick. You got to be r***rded [mocking gang signs]. Sensible people don't gravitate to that bulls**t.
"So so what he gave these up-and-coming artists a spotlight for the day?" Charleston White concluded. "Most of them will be dead by tomorrow, due to the gang politics. California, Compton, or whatever you want to call it. Homie, it's not vibrant. So why would you go shoot something where... N***a, nothing grows here, everything dies." It's clear that there are still many angles through which to analyze this Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. But to outright diminish either artist's efforts in this battle or their career achievements seems like a short-sighted endeavor.
