He told the paper: "To me, grime is the purest form of hip-hop in the world at the moment because it comes from a place of: “We are who we are and we aspire to be this.” "I feel close to that. That’s where US hip-hop lost some of its way because now it’s like: “We’re all ballers and we all make stupid amounts of money.”‘ Do you agree or disagree with his statement?
Dec 6, 2015 I partially agree, but for the most part disagree. I don't think you could take an entire genre and say "oh it's got too much of this" especially when it's in a way part of that culture. I'd agree though that there is maybe too many rappers renting chains/cars/grillz and rapping as if they are billionaires. shame you don't like it
