West stated that despite Lamar appearing to have won the hip-hop beef between him and Drake in the U.S., the Canadian star has a greater impact on the global music scene.
Kanye West, the world-famous U.S. rapper, has claimed that Canadian star Drake is a million times better and more relevant to hip-hop culture than American prodigy Kendrick Lamar.
The Ye crooner made the claim in a recent interview with DJ Akademiks.
West stated that despite Lamar appearing to have won the hip-hop beef between him and Drake in the U.S., the Canadian star has a greater impact on the global music scene.
He likened Drake’s cultural impact to that of Future and Young Thug.
“One thing is, Drake is a million times better than Kendrick [Lamar] and a million times more important [to the hip-hop world].
"What Future and [Young] Thug have done is what Drake culturally is. That sh*t was insane, bro. It’s universal,” he said.
