"I’m a psycho genius"— Kanye West commented on the possibility of winning a rap battle against Kendrick Lamar

During The Download interview with Justin Laboy, Kanye West commented on Kendrick Lamar, given he had indirectly participated in Lamar's feud with Drake by dissing the latter in a remix of Like That.

Commenting on rapping against Kendrick Lamar, Ye confidently said that one will lose if one attempts to do it. The I Wonder rapper compared Lamar to the video game character Chun-Li from Street Fighter who gives a certain kick, and no matter what one can't beat the character, marking a parallel to Lamar's rapping skills.

Hinting at the possibility of him defeating Lamar, Ye added:

“If you rap against Kendrick Lamar, like Joe Budden said, ‘Never rap against Kendrick Lamar.’ If you rap against Kendrick Lamar, it’s a difficult task, but perhaps it’s something … I’m a psycho genius, so you know, it could be.”

Later in the interview, Justin Laboy made a statement saying "so Kendrick killed Drake, he's dead" and Ye agreed to the same. However, he also compared Drake to NBA ace Stephen Curry and said:

“Yeah, for now. You can’t ever count out Steph Curry. That man might get 200 points in one song.”

Additionally, Kanye West credited Drake with contributing to the algorithm and frequency, adding that while Drizzy and Future advanced them, Kendrick Lamar "advanced the frequency".
