G-Eazy sat down with Larry King in an interview released Friday (April 1) in order to discuss his career. During the interview presented by Ora.TV he was asked who the best rapper is currently.
“Drake,” G-Eazy says in the video.
While on Larry King Now, G-Eazy also addressed his favorite young artist in the game.
“Vince Staples,” G-Eazy says.
After rising up the charts with “Me, Myself and I,” he says that it has been a long journey to get to the top.
“It’s definitely been a long, long…. long, long, long, long, long journey since I was selling burnt CD’s out of my backpack in downtown Oakland,” G-Eazy says. “Um, but you appreciate it more, you know? Sometimes the longer it takes, you hope it lasts longer. I mean, it’s been a process. It’s been a long time.”
The success of his recent album When It’s Dark Out was a surprise to some.
“I think the last one surprised a lot of people,” G-Eazy says. “Besides me and my team nobody really saw that coming. No one was expecting us to do all that, but we’ve always kinda been counted out, you know? Always been outsiders, always been a little different, but I’ve always just believed in it. This is all I’ve ever loved, all I’ve ever known, and when you don’t have a plan B you gotta make it work sooner or later.”
He says when a song is good he just feels it.
“You feel it, you know?” G-Eazy says. “If music makes you feel something… there is this whole thing- there is no formula or guaranteed cheat code. There are certain things you can do, but music has to give you a feeling. You know, it has an intangible magic and that’s the special part about it. You either feel it or not and know if it’s a hit or if it’s just not a hit.”

I vote for Froggy!
How can Drake continuously be regarded as one of the best rappers when the guy hardly ever raps? Did I miss something?
And to think this guy says he “turned into jay” LMFAO HOV got this far by spitting BARS. he had already proved himself lyrically before he dumbed his lyrics down and went the radio route to make more money.. but even in blueprint and black album he still had way more lyrical content than drake has on his best day
When your a shitty white rapper from Oakland Drake seems good
When you ghostwrite for a rapper, of course you’re gonna say he’s the best so that you can keep getting paid.
yeah seems about right
The rap World revolves around Drake now. Back in the days, there were many talented rappers and each of them had equally anticipated records and albums. Now Views From the 6 is the only album on people’s minds as if other rappers cease to exist.
Haha are you kidding? I couldnt give a fuck less about it
may be the only album on the mids of drake stans. we know how ovo fly in writers to write songs for them. majid jordan already spilled the tea OOPS! we know about quinten miller already. we know drake is nothing more than a hashtag, one-liner rapper. With all the extra help he gets with lyrics and flows, this shit had better been a classic. But it’s safe to say not as many ppl care as you think. Makes since the guy with the most hit records got caught wit a ghostwriter
Meek Mill had Drizzy in his top 3 too.
I think G Eazy is the hottest rapper in the game right now and def better than Drake this kid is gonna do big things!!
G Eazy is corny as fuck, just like Drake.
How is he the hottest imitating another rapper (Drake). How is he better than Drake when he is exactly like Drake, smh. On PURPOSE!
Why would anyone want to see this copycat asshole unveil a hologram of someone who he never knew & likely would have had nothing to do with him. What a band wagon jumper SMH.
3rd G Eazy story? Really? DX is super gay for this clown. Throw in Drake’s name and DX is all over that shit like fly’s on a cows ball sack
LMFAO somebody’s looking for a shoutout or a feature verse! Drake is every white boy’s favorite rapper. they just gravitate towards his softness and fragile lyrics. HOTTEST RAPPER? drake ever year. BEST? kdot will still toe tag that clown.
geazy, iggy, post malone and any other clown rappers are excluded like a MF from talking about best rapper. This guy isnt even creative– he and logic just simply copy everything thats hot
Rapper?
All hear haterz against GEazy go jump ! This dude is hear to stay star status selling out an arena tour most your favorites can’t even come close. Nobody is close to Drake on another planet , but GEazy caught that flame and it’s curtains he is raps next Major Artist ! ????
Who’s the worst rapper talking bullshit right now? G-eazy… who ever the fuck that is!
Drake best rapper. Fuckn hilarious. Grow some balls fuckn rtards. Everything about that clown is a joke. Go butt 🙁 some more kids from Nickelodeon.lol
Never heard of this guy.
Of course he’d say Drake. That’s who he is trying to sound like if you’ve ever heard his music.
exactly! He literally duplicate Drake’s style, tone, says shit Drake would say, says ‘yeah’ like him. EVERYTHING! And becoming successful doing it. A dj friend mine who works at a radio station says listeners thought ‘Me,myself and I’ was Drake’s song when they would request it. I personally don’t see how he gets away with that, but oh well.
Agree 100%
No lie, no lie, no lie…. I did think it was Drake. Even on YouTube if you type in Drake it will show you who it is. But…………. G-Easy is “THE SHIT MAN”….TO ME.. #LOVEHISCOCKYFRESH
