(CelebNMusic247-News) Kendrick Lamar Praises Kanye’s Yeezus
K-Dot says without artists like Kanye West there would be no Drake or J. Cole.
Ye’s album which has been dubbed everything from artistic to aggressive helps out new cats like myself, Cole, Drake, whoever, so salute.”
Despite the politics in the business, for somebody like Kanye to come back again and do what he wants is not only groundbreaking and motivating it is also what makes an artist legendary.
K-Dot told MTV News at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware.
“It was hard for me to grasp it on the first take.”
“I got it, but as I kept listening throughout the week, I understood where he was going and that was him stepping out of the box again and doing what he felt.
Recognizing that Kanye stretched boundaries with his sixth studio album, which will hit #1 on Billboard‘s album chart, Lamar admitted he appreciates and understands the message Yeezy was trying to convey.
“My interpretation is, man, it’s crazy how you come through with a distorted beat and still tap the realm of hip-hop and put some hardcore raps on it,” Lamar said. “So I digest it, digest it and he continues to break rules.”
Compared to his 808s & Heartbreaks Ye went on a limb and took a chance expressing his creativity.
Lamar adds:
“I’m good with the fact that it don’t have any classification, or trying to classify anything in particular.”
“I think it’s just music, period and if it’s universal, if it can touch everybody in the world that’s a beautiful thing too.”
