Pete is a legend but I'm so tired of these old arguments. You know someone is old when they pretend their generation was pure and everything afterwards went to shyt. As if the disco, house, and early hip hop eras were not fueled off coke and yes even some pills. Come on Breh...
Most of the rap music he considers real features various drug and crime rap. He bit ups Dave East too. Ultimately his problem isn't the content, it's how it's presented now. He should just be honest and stop moralizing.
