“YG is one of my favorite rappers," he said in the audio interview.

"I think Cardi B is the most incredible artist that has been in the industry in a long time. She a natural born star and people can relate to her.”

“Rap music is a young man’s sport. It’s for the young people," he said, adding, "When a rapper gets to be a certain age, if he’s still rapping the same way, that means he’s telling a lie.”

He continued, saying he thinks the new generation of rappers is "great."

"I think whatever they feel, they should have a right to express themselves. I wish all those dudes nothing but success. All the artists out there, I wish them the best. I wish they go 1000 times better than us.”

Earlier this month, Knight pleaded no contest to manslaughter in connection to the death of Terry Carter during a hit-and-run incident on the set of the movie Straight Outta Compton.
