Prince praises 'perfect' Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar

Prince has lavished praise on Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.

The iconic musician said that West was "perfect" and that Lamar's current album is "pure".

Speaking to Medium about the latter's 2015 record 'To Pimp A Butterfly', Prince said:

"He just has something to say. It's pure. And with Thundercat on the album? Come on. You're not taking 'Alright' off my playlist."

Referring meanwhile to West sampling Ray Charles on his track 'Gold Digger', the musician added:

"The way he made something new with that sample was perfect."

Prince's comments, however, come only days after he seemingly took a swipe at the originality of contemporary music.
