Kendrick Lamar is the latest victim of Azealia Banks’ social media vitriol. In an unprovoked rant on Instagram, Friday (June 16), Banks criticized Kendrick Lamar’s capabilities, describing him as”MAD overrated and extremely complacent.”
“Kendrick got some cool hooks and melodies, but I think he’s mad overrated and extremely complacent,” she wrote. “I don’t care to argue about ghostwriters, because who cares, but nah… Kendrick dead ass has white ghostwriters writing about the black struggle n shit. I’ve heard some feature verses from him that were dope, but he be making that kind of rap music that allows white people to indulge in weird fetishization of ‘the black struggle’ to patronize and absolve themselves of any real world responsibility because they think being a Kendrick fan is proof that they are ‘Allies.’”
She also said that he should not compare himself to Drake, JAY-Z, or Nicki Minaj.
“Kendrick is really bugging if he thinks he’s fucking with Drake on any day. I LOL’ed hard at that little sub he threw Drake and laughed EVEN HARDER at him thinking he’s skilled enough to put his name in the same sentence with Jay. Like my n-gga, u r not fuckin with Wayne/Drake /Styles P/Jadakiss/Nicki Minaj/Remy Ma/OR Azealia Banks. Please sit down and be humble.”
“Cali rap n-ggas highkey have ZERO swag. No offense but y’all are really on some nerd shit. And not like, hot fuckable Donald Glover Black culture nerd shit. Like y’all really are the most unappetizing nerdy friend zone type rap n-ggas lmaooo”
“Kendrick be HELLA GASSEDD lmfaooooo I dare him to think he’s fuckin w/ jadakiss/cyhi da prince/lil Kim/DMX/bun b/ghost face… like I can make a list of 200 rappers that are hotter than Kendrick LMAOO.”
Azealia Banks blasphemous comments about Kendrick Lamar follows her earlier tirade directed at Doja Cat and her new single “Attention.” The 212 rapper called the song, which adopts a boom-bap rap style “corny” and accused Doja of trying to mimic Kendrick Lamar who she claimed makes music for white people.
“I really be wanting to like Doja’s music but it’s all just sooo try hard,” Banks began. “Her first album was actually cool as hell….it was her own authentic art voice. Doja doesn’t have the theater training/authentic hunger needed to seamlessly be the master of genre she’s trying to be. She sounds like a white girl that grew up in a house. It’s not giving that pissy stairwell/bacon egg and cheese/vanilla dutch nyc energy she’s reaching for. But it’s also def a cali thing. California rap culture is simply just not as dynamic/impactful/swagged out as east coast/southern rap culture shit.”
She continued, referring to Doja Cat as Doja Lamar: “It’s like purposely inoffensive and caters to paper shoe Tom and matted hair Abigail. Ughhh, Doja Lamar is not the artistic statement she wants it to be. Like her approach to trying to conceptualize an authentic rap record is giving angel haze nyc WANNABE levels of boring rip pity rap/cheesy soho white boy hypebeast circa ’06.
Like she’s giving me those weird fka twigs biracial girl identify crisis vibes. Then like the obvious @uglyworldwide swaggerjacking is just a big ball of NYC wannabe. Lol sis, these rap n-ggas are dickriders and are def gonna gas you like you ate it, but I’m telling you this with love….. This is DUMB corny.”
K. Dot is barely active on Social media and could care less about what Azealia Banks has to say. The former Top Dawg Entertainment rapper recently revealed he has an Instagram burner page called, @jojoruski. Fortunately for Azealia Banks he doesn’t troll with it.
What do you think about Doja Cat’s new single?
