Lil Durk has said that he doesn’t really like Hip-Hop “lyricists.”
The OTF rapper said those things in an interview with Rap Caviar on Spotify. When talking about his song “All My Life” with J. Cole, he said that even though Cole “went crazy,” he still doesn’t like MCs whose words make you think.
“He lost it.” Durk said this about Cole’s skills: “I had to listen to it like four times.” “You know I’m not a big fan of rappers who write their own lyrics.” Cole’s songs, like those by Jay-Z and Cole, have to be played 50 times to fully understand what they mean.
He said this about another famous MC: “Like if you listen to Lil Wayne right now, you heard some stuff 10 years ago that you just get today.” But Cole did give me one of those lines, and I appreciate it. Because he really doesn’t need to. Anything was possible for him to give us.Durk has worked with many “lyricists” before, such as J.I.D., Cordae, Chance The Rapper, Talib Kweli, Nas, and more. The man from Chicago told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily that he chose Cole to be on the record by himself.
