Childish Gambino says white artists in Hip Hop are "eating," "young blacks" seen as "worthless."

During his appearance on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, Stone Mountain, Georgia rapper Childish Gambino commented on a variety of topics including police brutality, white privilege, his show with FX, and his upcoming mixtape, STN MTN / KAUAI.
Gambino kicked off his interview by speaking on comments he made at a show in Sydney, Australia about being better than Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and ScHoolboy Q. He stood behind his comments and revealed that every rapper should feel that way about themselves.
In regards to the artists he called out, he says that those at Top Dawg Entertainment were likely cool with his statement while “Drake is probably not taking it great.”
“Every rapper should feel that way,” Childish Gambino said. “Cause I feel that way. That’s my truth. I said those rappers in particular cause I feel like they’re the best. I feel like they’re the best. Kendrick, Drake, ScHooboy, I listen to them all the time. I think they’re just really good. I really do think they’re the best…I’m sure they’re fine with [that]. That’s the thing. Kendrick is fine with it. Drake is probably not taking it great. I know the TDE guys, like they’d understand. They’re one of the realest dudes in Hip Hop. They understand. They’re like ‘Yeah, you should feel that way’. We’re in competition. I remember when because the internet was coming out, School hit me, he was like ‘This stuff is crazy’ or whatever.
