Breaking down the influence modern rappers have had on his music since he picked up the mic, Lil Dicky recently opened up about finding inspiration from Drake’s catalog specifically.

Speaking with HipHopDX’s Jake Rohn, Lil Dicky commented on Drake’s recent progression and why he thinks the Toronto artist will soon eclipse a more traditional choice as his favorite rapper ever.

“My favorite rapper ever is Jay Z,” Lil Dicky said in a clip that debuted as a part of today’s DX Daily. “But my favorite present-day rapper and who I ultimately assume will become my favorite rapper when it’s all said and done is Drake. I just respect Jay Z’s catalog far more than Drake’s at this point but when Drake is at his best he is my favorite. If he just continues to make stuff I imagine his catalog will get better and better. As far as influences, my favorite rappers are pretty much who I’m inspired by…I put this rapper hat on like two years ago, so I’m just really going off of me being a fan. I assume who I’ve become as a rapper is greatly influenced by a lot of modern-day rappers. I assume Drake had had a large impact.”
