LL Cool J thinks Kendrick Lamar’s approach in his feud with Drake is pure comedy gold. In an interview with Ray Daniels Media, he couldn’t stop laughing about Lamar’s artwork for “Not Like Us.”
“This sh*t is crazy,” LL Cool J exclaimed. “This ain’t got nothing to do with nothing but it’s the funniest sh*t in the world. It’s bananas. That kinda thinking, you have to respect that.”
The reaction online was mixed when DJ Akademiks shared LL Cool J’s take on Instagram. One user commented, “Putting false claims on a man name is not funny it’s corny. Kbot a cold hater.” However, another chimed in, “All fun n games till someone do it to you.”
In another segment of the interview, LL Cool J explored how rap beef tactics have evolved over the years. “This generation, they think much more multilayered,” he said. “The thinking used to be simple: you do the song. That was it. Then it was the song and the video. Now, you have a brand, a book, a movie, the music. You monetize it. The layering of the thought process is completely different.”
He believes established artists can learn a lot from the younger generation’s approach. “There’s a lesson for us in how they monetize and strategize,” LL Cool J noted.
This isn’t the first time LL Cool J has weighed in on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. Last month, in an interview with Hot 97’s TT Torrez, he criticized Drake’s decision to tangle with Lamar. “Drake made a bad choice,” he argued. Therefore, it’s clear that these evolving beef tactics and the creative layers added by artists like Kendrick Lamar continue to intrigue and entertain both fans and fellow artists.
LL Cool J’s insightful yet humorous take on Kendrick Lamar’s tactics against Drake highlights the evolution of rap feuds. The multi-layered strategies and creative approaches keep fans engaged and offer endless entertainment.
