Young Chicago rapper Chief Keef is arguably one of the hottest rising stars coming out of the Chi. Thanks to a remix of his single "I Don't Like" by Kanye West, the rapper has garnered a huge buzz, which landed him a deal with Interscope ... and praise from some of the game's biggest stars.
However, not everyone is feeling Keef. Specifically, hometown peer and G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Rhymefest.
In a recent guest post at a blog called Analog Girls In a Digital World, 'Fest expressed his distaste for Chief Keef while explaining why his music is a detriment to society.
In the post, the Chi-town vet describes Keef as misrepresentation of African-Americans, and blasted Interscope and major radio stations for endorsing (for profit) his music, knowing the negative influence it has on society and the youth.
"Chief Keef is a 'bomb,' he represents the senseless savagery that white people see when the news speaks of Chicago violence," Rhymefest wrote. "A bomb has no responsibility or blame, it does what it was created to do: DESTROY! Notice, no one is talking about the real culprits, the bomb maker or the pilot who is deploying this deadly force (labels, radio stations). It's easier to blame the bomb... who is bank rolling this operation and why? This could only be described as an opportunity for this young man, if he was receiving artist development, responsible mentorship and counseling for his obvious trauma... major record labels always put million dollar life insurance policies on artist of this nature so that they get paid one way or the other."
As 'Fest continued his rant against Keef, he also targeted Rick Ross and Waka Flocka, also for their impact on youth.
"[Chief Keef] is a spokesman for the Prison Industrial Complex," he wrote. "Every corporation is expected to grow at least 4% each quarter, many prisons are privately owned with stock being traded on the open market. If these corporations were to do commercials, jingles and promotions who would they hire? You got it, most of the main stream rappers we salivate over like Rick Ross the former correctional officer turned Drug Lord Boss rapper. Waka Flocka Flame gang bang 'GO HARD IN THE PAINT' and Chief Keef the newest lottery pick in the 'Get paid to destroy young minds, like we destroyed yours' sweepstakes."
