Metro Boomin Addresses Kendrick Lamar & Drake Feud | Billboard News

Metro Boomin has addressed the Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud while speaking at Forbes Under 30. Keep watching to see what he had to say about his role in the feud and more!

Metro Boomin:
Even if just keeping it on music and it’s like not serious how everybody tries to make it, you know what I’m saying?

Tetris Kelly:
Metro Boomin had some interesting thoughts on the Kendrick and Drake battle that he and Future helped kick off. While sitting down with Matt Craig during the Forbes Under 30 summit, the multiplatinum producer out of St. Louis blamed a certain sect of fans for taking the fun out of the beef.

Metro Boomin:
I feel like the competition is great for the game. Hip-hop has always been more of a competitive genre. But I just feel like more today it’s more like stan culture. It makes it kind of weird. 

Tetris Kelly:
He then used the legendary battle between Nas and Jay-Z as an example. 

Metro Boomin:
Because back in the day, Jay-Z and Nas went at it, but I was a fan of both of ‘em. The internet just makes it a little too wild now. 

Tetris Kelly:
As far as being considered the catalyst, he took a more diplomatic approach. 

Metro Boomin:
But I feel like it’s good for the game, and as far as me being diplomatic, it’s just entertainment at the end of the day. 

Tetris Kelly:
And like the Spider-Man movie he crafted the soundtrack for, he knows with great power comes great responsibility.

Metro Boomin:
This is our era, so it’s really our responsibility to keep pushing it forward for the next one and so forth.
