Rakim Speaking On Millenials & Their Impact On Hip Hop

[GPBear]

This video is an abomination

Rakim repeatedly says things like
"I just want to see hip-hop prosper"
"I'm more from the lyricist school, but to each his own"
"I can't knock em"

One of his major points is there's a difference between hip-hop and rap. But then the TMZ guys apparently aren't even listening to what he's saying, because they immediately go "blah blah rap used to mean something different" and the title of the video is "Rakim says Millennials are ruining rap". Completely ignoring the point he was making, which is what Millenials are doing (rap) is a different thing from hip-hop and that he's not going to knock them if that's what the younger generation is into.

Pathetic, especially because Rakim doesn't give that many interviews, so to distort what he says is even more blasphemous.

Fukk TMZ

Couple things:

1) I agree that 98% of mainstream rappers sound like retards that probably can’t count to 20 without taking off their socks.

2) I got nothing but respect for Ra, but he looks like the dude from the prison special that says he prefers eating ass with syrup.

Rap was trash before the 00s for the most part.

@CrimsonTider you gotta defend this dap

 

[Hugs]

are you even gonna try to make the argument that they're equal?

breh modern rappers care far more about style than substance or skill
They can't be compared when all these new nikkas wanna do is flow

c'mon man. 90's NY rap is the golden era and im not even a old head. I'm 26 and I like a lot of stuff from the 2000's and now, but that statement is ignorant as fukk

I doubt Rakim ''rushed'' to TMZ. Most likely the other way around.
