Roommates, Charlamagne Tha God is well-known for his outspokenness and his opinions—but his latest take on Drake surprised even his most devoted fans. Charlamagne recently stated that he believes that Drake’s 10-year reign in the world of hip hop has officially come to an end.
During a recent episode of his podcast “Brilliant Idiots,” Charlamagne Tha God didn’t hold back regarding his thoughts about the current state of Drake’s career—stating that for the last few years, Drizzy’s position in hip hop is not what it used to be.
Charlamagne said the following about Drake’s era ending:
“Drake has given us so much music that I don’t know if he has another gear. We know Kendrick has another gear. He shows us that with every project. Drake has given us so much, I don’t know if he has another gear so, therefore, I’m not looking forward to anything. Let me ask y’all a question: are we still in the Drake era? Or is radio such a prehistoric form of media that it hasn’t changed the temperature to what’s actually going on out here in these streets? It still feels like we’re in a Drake era– I don’t think we’re in a Drake era, I don’t think we’ve been in a Drake era for the past three or four years.”
He wasn’t done and when asked if he was looking forward to Drake’s new album (which he said he’s not) he explained why he’s anticipating Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming album more.
“No… for all the same reasons we love Kendrick [Lamar]. Kendrick makes us wait, Kendrick gives us something to look forward to. Kendrick takes his time,” Charlamagne said.
As of now, Drake has not publicly responded to Charlamagne’s criticism.
