Kanye West has once again criticized Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole for their music, calling it "not that sauce," as he prepares for his highly anticipated album drop to assert his status in the industry. This comes amid growing tension with his former artist collaborators, including a notably virulent exchange with J. Cole on his own track, while also lambasting Kendrick during an interview.
