The first part of Kanye West's Drink Champs interview made waves last week after he dissed multiple collaborators, including Talib Kweli. In response to Kweli's "come back home" statements, Ye took shots Kweli's success and rap style.
N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN aired the second part of the interview Thursday night, which found the "Jesus Walks" rapper taking more shots at his former collaborator. Kanye's most recent remarks came after he admitted to not being a real fan of "backpack rap" and posing as a backpack rapper to gain popularity early in his career.
"I'm sorry to all the backpack community, due to the fact that I was from the streets but I never killed anybody, it was just easier for me to pose like a backpacker but I actually really love street n*****," he admitted. "And I don't really listen to backpack music like that. I listen to Cash Money, Jay-Z, Lil Baby. I posed as a backpacker."
In a state of shock, N.O.R.E. listed famous acts from the sub-genre and asked if Kanye truly "wasn't from that" to which Ye responded, "Not at all, I was using [the genre]."
Kanye followed up his revelation by addressing Talib Kweli once again. He apologized for disliking Kweli's rapping and recalled crossing paths with him recently.
"I apologize, once again, to Kweli, I'm sorry I never f***** with your raps," he said before N.O.R.E. asked if he recently saw Kweli. "Oh s***, I did just see that n****! I totally forgot! Oh man, now I'm really gonna have to fight this man. Or it's gonna be 10 n***** with fitted caps from 12 years ago chasing me."
