Joe Budden has weighed in on Kendrick Lamar‘s claim that Drake is an outsider in Hip Hop, questioning whether the rap star truly belongs in the culture.

The rapper turned media personality once again discussed the recent feud between Drizzy and K. Dot during an appearance on the BagFuel podcast, where he broke down the latter’s scrutiny of the 6 God’s background throughout the battle.

“Culture is where Kendrick was shifting his conversation: how do you dress? Who’s your barber? Are you a good dad? Can you dance? Your slaps? What’s your hood? Did you have a nickname growing up? Shit like that is what Kendrick was leaning into to,” he said.

“Those people, I believe, created Hip Hop,” he added, forming a distinction between the originators and the imitators who merely observed the culture from afar and “wanted some of that.”

While Budden didn’t put Drake, a former teen actor who grew up in a Toronto suburb, in the latter category, he did criticize him for buying 2Pac’s $1 million ring and wearing Cam’ron’s pink fur coat while performing with Dipset.

“Even if that’s not your intent, you gotta know how that comes off,” he said. “I’ve never been around Drake and Kendrick, but to hear Kendrick say, ‘You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance…’

“It’s like, ‘Oh, you noticed that too.’ ‘Cause I noticed that. I get what you trying to say. And you probably the only person that could say it, and it be effective and impactful.”

Budden went on to openly question whether Drake “cares” about Hip Hop culture, saying: “I won’t answer it, but maybe. Maybe.”

He then interrupted his train of thought to anticipate how much “trouble” he’ll get into over his comments.
