Lil Yachty shares his thoughts on the current state of hip-hop: “Hip-hop is in a terrible place. The state of hip-hop right now is a lot of imitation. It’s a lot of quick, low-quality music being put out. It’s a lot less risk-taking, it’s a lot less originality…People are too

You can win. A group of us, graffiti writers, beat a billionaire in an 8yr long legal battle n trial in federal court because he destroyed our work out of malice. Set legal precedent using the VARA act of 1990. First ever graff case to go to trial. We won. Graff is art. ✌🏻

Until someone posts 7 albums made by only one producer n mc that bests Gang Starr’s catalog, influence, consistency, skillset as an mc/producer AND dj, it will always be Gang Starr. multiple decades of classic hip hop, one mc, one prod/dj.

Demand to see an actual DJ at a hip hop show. MCs having a producer who can’t DJ standing there pressing a button is not it. This is why the kids get confused. Respect the culture and the DJ. If you don’t see an actual DJ, boo, because you are getting ripped off. ✌🏻
