Fat Joe Says Kendrick Lamar Dominates LA Radio More Than Snoop, Tupac

Fat Joe and Jadakiss, on the premiere episode of their new podcast 'Joe & Jada,' reflected on Kendrick Lamar's impact over the past year, especially highlighting his dominance on Los Angeles radio. They noted that Kendrick Lamar is played in nine out of every ten songs on L.A. radio, surpassing iconic West Coast rappers like Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur in recent airplay. Jadakiss acknowledged Kendrick's significant career but expressed concern over how modern rap beefs have evolved beyond music into digital skits and misinformation. Both rappers appreciated the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rivalry, emphasizing that it remained a musical dispute without physical violence. Fat Joe called Kendrick's current influence unprecedented in the West Coast hip-hop scene, with many L.A. residents perceiving him as the sole major hip-hop artist. Their conversation also touched on the importance of keeping rap beefs focused on lyrical skill rather than personal attacks or non-musical conflicts.
