Before Kendrick Lamar, the last rapper to receive the same type of critical praise as him was Kanye West. Both rappers thought outside of the box and brought a sense of realness back to the rap game. Of course, the situation was more dire when Kendrick Lamar entered the industry.
Kendrick Lamar is allowing himself time before putting another album out, but is remaining a focal point of the game. Kanye West is preparing his comeback, taking the game over during the weekend. It is officially the rising of Yeezus, as Kanye West has released the official cover and two singles.
“New Slaves” is among the singles Kanye West released, debuting the single on buildings throughout various cities. Something no artist has ever done before, Kanye West kept the people talking about him, shifting from his personal situation to his professional career. Kendrick Lamar recently talked to MTV and he praised the way Kanye West went about debuting his new tracks.
