# Lil Dicky Argues There's 'No Better Rapper' Than Drake, Crowns Him the GOAT > Source: > Published: 2026-06-18 18:54:53+00:00 [Drake](https://www.complex.com/tag/drake) is the greatest rapper of all time, at least according to [Lil Dicky](https://www.complex.com/tag/lil-dicky). Dicky, [who bagged a cameo from the Iceman artist in the third (and presumably final) season of his FXX comedy series Dave](https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/backwoodsaltar/drake-says-dave-is-one-of-the-most-important-shows-of-our), posited his argument in the latest episode of Complex’s [.](https://www.complex.com/tag/goat-talk) *GOAT Talk*Joined by [Benny Blanco](https://www.complex.com/tag/benny-blanco), Dicky explained his reasoning in picking the 6 god, noting that [the artist formerly known as Kanye West](https://www.complex.com/tag/kanye-west) would have been given this distinction earlier in his life. “The child in me says Kanye,” the *Friends Keep Secrets *co-host and [current Complex cover co-star](https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/nate-rogers/lil-dicky-benny-blanco-kristin-batalucco-friends-keep-secrets-interview) said. “The man in me says Drake. Kanye was the GOAT rapper of my childhood, [and] inspired the inner child in me, which ultimately inspires the adult version of me. But since age 22 of my life until now, I just feel like Drake is just, to me, there’s just no better rapper.” Blanco, meanwhile, gave the GOAT rapper title to [Lil Wayne](https://www.complex.com/tag/lil-wayne). Earlier into the episode, Drake was also picked by Dicky as his choice for the GOAT artist with whom he’d most like to collaborate. See the full episode up top.

Drake is currently fresh off making the ambitious decision to drop three new albums on the same day, including the Billboard 200-dominating *Iceman*. But, just how rare is it for an artist to give fans this much new music at once?
