Drake has been criticized by JPEGMAFIA over the subjects of his raps.
Speaking to Billboard, the alternative rapper called out the 6 God when addressing the state of Hip Hop.
He said: “People yearn for something new, especially in rap. We’re yearning, we’re tired. We don’t wanna hear Drake complain about bitches anymore. We don’t fucking care, he’s 40. We need something different. I’m here to try to provide and cultivate that as much as I can because rap fans are fucking bored.”
The Brooklyn native added: “Conscious rap has Nas, trap rap has Future, experimental rap is me. That’s it.”

Drake is hard at work on a new album, which many are expecting to drop before the end of the year.
OVO artist Smiley recently revealed that Drizzy has been working on the project all hours of the day.
The Canadian rapper said on a live stream: “Even at the ‘Nokia’ video shoot, during a break, he had a bunch of producers and he was just recording. He’s in that crazy mode, right now.”
Smiley also revealed that Drake disappeared during a recent party to instead focus on making his new album.

He explained: “We’re at a party and he was in the other room by himself eating pasta with wired headphones writing music while we have a whole fucking party going on. He’s on a different mode right now.”
During a recent stream with Adin Ross, Drake announced that he was working on an album.
“Working on a new album right now,” he said, before confirming that it will be a solo project. “It’s a slap.”
