Snoop Dogg recently shared a moment where Kendrick Lamar “put him in his place” after the rapper endorsed Drake’s diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle” during their ongoing beef.
Snoop Dogg, during an interview on The Breakfast Club, opened up about the aftermath of posting Drake’s AI-assisted diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Kendrick Lamar did not take kindly to Snoop’s move, expressing his thoughts in the song “Wacced Out Murals.”
In Kendrick’s track, he references Snoop’s social media post, saying, “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I prayed it was the edibles.” Despite the tension, Snoop took Lamar’s criticism in stride, acknowledging that sometimes the younger generation can teach elders a thing or two.
Without having spoken to Kendrick directly, Snoop revealed he left a heartfelt apology for what he shared, recognizing his mistake and attributing it to being “on them edibles” at the time. Snoop emphasized that a “big dawg” like himself can be rightfully put in place if it’s done by the right person.
The rapper later noted that he didn’t realize he had offended Kendrick until someone brought it to his attention. He humorously recounted the moment he realized the slip-up and promptly removed the post, reaching out to Kendrick, admitting, “My bad.”
Snoop doesn’t hold any resentment towards Kendrick for being vocal about his feelings. Instead, he respects the rapper’s honesty, stating, “Truth shouldn’t hurt you; it should make you better.” He embraced the feedback, expressing the sentiment that, “I’m one to accept truth when it’s brought to me directly.”
Kendrick’s criticism seems to have been rooted in a caring place as Snoop affectionately called him “nephew” and affirmed that he wasn’t offended by the inclusion of his name in the diss track. Snoop appears to appreciate Kendrick’s straightforwardness, indicating that he values their relationship and the honesty it brings.
Snoop’s admission provides a rare glimpse into the dynamics of respect and criticism between artists in the music industry, especially when generational gaps come into play. It’s a lesson in humility and being open to learning, no matter your status.
Snoop’s experience with Kendrick Lamar illustrates the importance of communication and humility, even among seasoned artists. It’s a reminder that learning never stops, regardless of age or experience.
