    RZA explains why it was a mistake for Drake to battle Kendrick Lamar

    RZA thinks Drizzy should have prepared better

    RZA explains why he thinks Drake made a wrong turn by engaging Kendrick Lamar in head to head lyrical confrontation. The legendary Wu-Tang Clan member expressed his views on the well-publicized feud in an interview with Complex during which he appeared baffled by Drake’s reasoning.

    “First of all, Kendrick is the natural lyricist, and Drake is a trained lyricist. You could train a fighter and he could be good, then you got those natural fighters who also then go through training,” RZA explained. “So that’s a different chamber there. And while Drake got bars forever, Kendrick’s bars’ potency was stronger.

    “So the battle bar-for-bar was something that was just not good advising on Drake’s camp in the sense of just getting in that fight without really taking some more training for that. When Kendrick wrote the letter to his son or his daughter and to his [mother], Kendrick is going to come like that. Nas, Kendrick, Eminem, Raekwon, certain people are going to break your shit down to the element.”


    He added: “But in doing so, I do think that a lot was said, and Drake is a powerful artist in our culture. He helped the culture when the culture needed it. He expanded it with his melodies and he raised a generation too, and you can’t take that away from him.”

    “[Laughing] Not like us? Not like us is the energy of who I am, the type of man I represent. Now, if you identify with the man that I represent,” K-Dot responded.

    “This man has morals, he has values, he believes in something, he stands on something. He’s not pandering. He’s a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share the mistakes and can dig deep down into fear-based ideologies or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he’s less of a man.”

    He continued: “If I’m thinking of ‘Not Like Us,’ I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that.”

Thought-provoking artist. And so, I was that before he was.”
