00:00Kendrick Lamar or Drake, who you got?

00:02Kendrick Lamar.

00:04Gotta go with Kendrick.

00:13Oh man, you know I gotta go with the OVO6 guy, man.

00:16Drake's your guy.

00:17Yeah, that's my brother, man.

00:23I'm saying Kendrick because I'm from California.

00:25Actually, both. Kendrick.

00:27Love Drake, but, you know, at the end of the day, if Kendrick mad at him, I gotta roll with my family.

00:35I'm team Kendrick.

00:37Team Kendrick, definitely.

00:38Why?

00:39I'm sorry, but...

00:40Dad's like, shots fired!

00:41I'm sorry, but Kendrick won the diss. He won the diss, yeah.

00:57Just acting like an activist is make-believe. Don't even go back to your hood and plant no money trees.

01:02Just from a hip-hop perspective, what do you think that beef did? What kind of an impact did it make on hip-hop?

01:07I think it just brought, you know, it brought life back to hip-hop.

01:10I think hip-hop was like people were saying that hip-hop was dying, and it was a dying genre at the time.

01:15And I think it just put a lot of life back into it.

01:17Honestly, I love the feud, man.

01:19Because you can't have one body, like...

01:22You can't have anybody at the top without any type of s*** like this.

01:25So I love that this is actually happening, and that people are finally not scared,

01:31especially even at the top of the rap game, to come at each other, you know?

01:34The impact, I don't know. It's an indescribable feeling.

01:38Tell me about getting that call from Kendrick Lamar, saying,

01:40I'm inspired, I'm in the middle of this beef, we gotta get in the studio together.

01:43I wouldn't say it happened like that. We've been talking for years.

01:46It wasn't like, this wasn't driven from beef.

01:48I didn't send this from beef, I sent this from being a kid from Los Angeles, California,

01:52and watching Kendrick being from Compton, which is not far from where I was raised.

01:56And I was just being persistent and sending as much stuff as I could, and that's what happened.

02:05They both play a very important part in what we're doing right now in hip-hop,

02:09and what we've been doing for the last ten plus years.

02:12And I think that they decided to play around and do that together.

02:15Nobody got hurt.

02:17All eyes are on it, so I guess it's good, right?

02:20Good thing, yeah.

02:21When Terry and I were growing up, we had the Battle of the Bands.

02:24And we battled Prince's band and Morris Day's band in Minneapolis.

02:28So we know the whole idea of music and beef going together.

02:32So for us, it's great to watch.

02:34I think they'll all get it together one day, but Kendrick held his ground and did his job.

02:38He did what he was supposed to do. It's rap, it's rap music.

02:41That don't mean you gotta kill each other, so you know what I'm saying?

02:44I don't think it's nowhere near that. It's rap.

02:52It's just put a lot of fire back in there.

02:55So hopefully other people come with records that's just as hot as those records

02:59that was made in that period, and we can keep the genre where it's supposed to be at.

03:03I feel like Drake's on top, man.

03:05He's got like 20 to 50 people at his neck right now, so it is what it is.

03:10He's gonna hold it down, man, and we'll see what he's got in store.

03:13We don't know what he's got in store yet, but he's got something.

03:21Even the picture you use, the jokes and the medication

03:24The Maybach glove and the drug he uses for less inflation

03:27Master manipulator, you bid on the speculation

03:29It's always been a part of hip-hop from the beginning.

03:32Kendrick showed his versatility. He showed up.

03:36It's really good. These guys make amazing records, and I just hope that it stays in that peaceful place

03:41and that in the future, maybe they'll do another song together. Come on.

03:51Come on.
