Ye and Justin also spoke about the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef with Kanye declaring Kendrick’s winning. But Drake got some love from Kanye. Yeezy compares Drizzy to Steph Curry and credits Drake for making a long-term impact on music.
Kanye stated Kendrick’s elevating rap’s frequency and explains why he’s the only one who can beat Kendrick in a rap battle. With The Game, Will.i.am, John Monopoly and Jim Jones by his side, Kanye grabbed the mic and told the party Justin is the culture’s Joe Rogan.
Ye also announced his new album “Bully” is set to be released on June 15th, coinciding with his daughter North West’s birthday.
