You're arguing two different things fam.
And maybe he brought it up cause,um, he's a DJ that's been around to witness the ascension of the genre and hates the direction it's heading now. I ont kno that man's intention but I think he's earned the right to give his take on shyt.
Should OGs not be able to ever speak they piece on current affairs?
But he knows at the end of the day he's going to play Cardi, Drake, Nicki, Kanye, and all the Lil's and Young's who don't pen all their verses. This is like a long-tenured strength coach on an NFL team telling the media he hates how the head coach, GM or owner let's star players slack on practice, knowing damn well when he steps off his podium, the stat quo will remain the same and the star QB/WR/DB will still skip practices/workouts.
It's one thing if OG rappers or producers who work for themselves or can provide for themselves by hitting the road comment on stuff like this because they report to nobody. Flex still has a boss/bosses who's gonna make him play all the rappers they know don't write so he looks foolish talking down on rappers who he's forced to play.
He has the name recognition to branch out and do a podcast successful enough to eat and play rappers he thinks represents hip-hop, if he feels that strongly. But he hasn't done it since he chose those Hot 97 checks over culture morals.
as long as those people writing get the credits for it, if not then that's a problem.
