I actually agree with him on the OG argument. He made some good points all interview too, however I still think hiphop can still change the world. The problem is it's too commercialized now a days that it's hard for substantive content to really be popular
He said when obama got elected he looked at his music and said he after he's dead he didn't want to be known for that song or like a pimp, so he changed his music
did you even listen to the interview
are you one of those cacs they use semantics instead of facts

Hip-hop most definantly STILL has the potential to be one of the main tools used to change the world, specifically for black folk.
This is exactly why they keep propping up rappers like Young Thug and 21 Savage.
Keep in mind who actually controls hip-hop and the major media outlets.

he had so much potential to actually affect people. if he had just said his important shyt on the same style of records that had him actually popping then the people would hear it.
deciding to go underground & make "serious" songs that hardly anybody will hear deflated all that potential.
& it's wasted because when he's dead & gone he's still only going to be remembered for his biggest hits, like 'Play' & 'Like A Pimp'. hardly anybody is going to remember that he was conscious unless he puts that shyt on his biggest hits. he failed. he DID do a lot of amazing work for the community tho.
him & Killer Mike could both be making bangers & be all on the radio with valuable messages dropped in, but they wanna make music for serious people & weirdos.

People thinking music can change the world instead of real indepth discourse are lost IMO.
shyt is entertainment.
shyt is entertainment.
It certainly has a contribution to make, though. Discourse is in part shaped by art.
Guess that depends
