Rapper Lil Baby Shares Unfiltered Thoughts on Kendrick Lamar and Socially Conscious Hip-Hop

Title: The Daily – Lil Baby Reveals He’s Not a Fan of Kendrick Lamar Dropping His Name on ‘Not Like Us’

As West Coast culture continues to shape the music landscape, a certain anthem has been echoing through streets and clubs alike. “Good Day” – an iconic phrase that refuses to fade from relevance.

But let’s get back to our main story…

In a recent interview, Lil Baby revealed some surprising sentiments about none other than Kendrick Lamar. During his conversation with a popular podcast, the rapper shared his thoughts on Kung Fu Kenny dropping his name on ‘Not Like Us.’

“I ain’t really into that side of hip-hop,” he stated bluntly.

When asked to clarify what exactly he meant by “that side” of hip-hop, Lil Baby clarified that it pertains to conscious rappers and their lyrical approach. He didn’t hold back in expressing his distaste for the genre, stating:

“I ain’t really into that side of hip-hop ’cause I grew up in a different environment… where we ain’t worried about no politics or none of that.”

This statement sparks curiosity as it seems to suggest that Lil Baby is not too fond of socially conscious rap. It’s worth noting that Kendrick Lamar has consistently used his platform to tackle complex issues and push the boundaries of what hip-hop can accomplish.
