    SERIOUSLY? Coming from this guy? The leader of one of the worst groups in music history who produces music that sounds like Kanye f---ing a VCR? Get f-----.

    I will say that Will.I.Am is a little underrated but this is definitely not the look

    Eh, there's still progressive hip-hop out there. The standards are only low in the popular context.

    Also, Will.I.Am been trash.

    The last 15 years of BEP music is some of the worst music ever produced. Will.I.Am isn't allowed to have an opinion on anything he's Yeezus Kanye's redheaded step-child.

    Well um, I do.
    But what I really mean when I say he is right, is it’s just become so simple now people can just have a good beat Get f----- off on lean and throw on some auto tune and people eat it up. Like literally Hopsin made a song trying to make fun of it and people say it’s his best song.

    Ah of course you do but I’m saying even I could put out a mix tape and so can my dad and anyone else. My point is there’s a reason why you me and my dad aren’t successful rappers. Everyone can put out a rap album but not everyone has the skills and creativity to be successful

    He is right. No doubt about it. And although he isnt one of the most skilled rappers, he is still a better rapper than 99% of the new guys like 6ix9ine and all the Lil Pumps and other Lil s----s
