Charlamagne tha God tells Kendrick Lamar that he'll drive himself crazy after critiquing new song

Kendrick Lamar has been called a man of the people and someone who will take hip-hop culture to task if necessary. It's something that he proved in his new song that many are calling "Watch the Party Die," where he criticizes everyone from rappers, to radio personalities, to social media influencers.

Charlamagne tha God spoke about the song on a recent episode of The Breakfast Club and while he likes it, he accused Kendrick of being unrealistic about changing the things in hip-hop he doesn't like.

"It's very dope," Charlamagne said of the song. "Like you said, Lauren, I don't believe the record is just about Drake. I think he's talking about just the culture, people in the world, society, the industry, media. And I'ma tell you something, Kendrick, you gon' drive yourself crazy, okay? The only thing you can do is continue to be the change you want to see in the world, 'cause this ain't stopping no time soon. It's just not."

"We're too far gone," he added. "Like, God himself would have to come back and even then they would not believe it. Even then, man, Wu-Tang's 'Triumph' could start playing and a big toe could come from the sky, and Jesus himself could come down, and they would make him have to prove himself. 'He ain't walking on water, that's A.I.'"

"Kendrick, you gon' drive yourself crazy."

On "Watch the Party Die," Kendrick says that parts of hip-hop have gotten so bad, the culture needs a reboot.

“I think it’s time to watch the party die / This s**t done got too wicked to apologize / It’s different get him whacked and disqualified / We even kill the killers ‘cause they like taking innocent lives / burn a whole village, we start over, it’s really that time," he raps.

Later, Kendrick addresses those who don't like his left-of-center songs and that he uses a different approach than other mainstream rappers. “Influencers talked down ‘cause I’m not with the basic s**t / But they don’t hate me, they hate the man that I represent,” he rhymes.
