Snoop Dogg also shared his balanced and supportive view on the Lamar-Drake feud.
“The only thing I want to say about that whole scenario is that I want to give both of them a shout-out for raising the bar as far as lyrics, as far as song-making and writing,”
Snoop said, pointing out the vast inputs that both Kendrick Lamar and Drake have given to their field, taking note of their artistry and impact.
Snoop Dogg feels that the beef upped the standard of rap music being made; he commented
“As far as what they did for the industry and the rap game, they made you rap again. You can’t mumble and gimmick your way to a song no more, buddy. So, thank you all.”
In his opinion, this rivalry has set the standard for the artists to up their game, more on the lyrical spillage and song construction rather than the gimmicks.

Drake released “Taylor-Made Freestyle,” where he dissed Kendrick Lamar with some neural voices, including Snoop Dogg and the incorporated 2Pac. The track started a debate on the ethics of technology in music. This has raised concerns worldwide: consent and authenticity in music creation.
He left baffled by how his voice had been used on the track by AI. Snoop Dogg shared his reaction to an Instagram video showing his first confusion. It was not that the rapper used that moment to pick a side in this ongoing feud. More than the technology was such a surprising and unexpected thing, it was not an element of his reaction to the actual diss track.

Throughout the feud, Snoop has been diplomatic, as he said
” those are my nephews, I’m not in the middle of it, I support both of them…”
siding with the guys he felt would not take the beef further between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. He has all been about respecting the two artists for the kind of job they have done in the industry. Hence, the rapper has kept a little low from the in-depth details of the feud to keep things at a neutral perspective for mutual respect as opposed to division.
