First and foremost, who do these people do interviews with?

They don’t interviews with gossipers,
all of them do interviews with real journalists. Hip-hop or not.

Other than that, I can’t force a dude to do an interview when the expectation is for them to talk about non music related stuff. They don’t owe us shyt about anything not music related, which is what we pay for

Kendrick put out a Podcast last year with the entire team behind TPAB discussing the the process, inspiration, etc behind the making of that album



Interviews are no longer necessary for an artist to present themselves or their work or the process BEHIND their work to the masses


That's actually was smart by Kendrick :ohhh:

He’s right. I always had an issue with it too. They always run to the whiteboys to do their interviews as if hip hop media doesn’t exist.
These guys are trying to get paid and expand their own lives, nobody’s in it for “the culture”. They’re going where the biggest (read: white) audience is.

There is no hip hop culture

You got dudes like Akademiks who didn’t grow up in it, shyt on the artists, and openly hate everything hip hop derives from aka the inner city Black American

And then you got the artists only in it for a check

Drake a fraud but everybody sucked his diktat and helped him get there so now here we are
