Well of course not a lot of people are on board with the new sound of music specifically as it pertains to Hip Hop. With so much diversity in the genre currently, as well as a heavy influence of Southern sound, let’s just say hardcore MCs who pride themselves on lyricism and word play, are not too thrilled when artists such as French Montana make comments such “lyrical rappers are broke”. Watch video and see what Detroit rapper Danny Brown had to say about French’s comment inside….
During a sit down interview with Complex Magazine, Danny shares his thoughts on the state of Hip Hop, and the notion that non lyrical rappers are winning these day. Watch the video below to hear him discuss upcoming album, and getting back to the core essence of Hip Hop on next project.
In reference to French, Danny says:
“To the French Montana thing, my whole point of it is just that I wouldn’t want to promote that to the kids,” he said. “Cause what does that leave for the future of Rap music as a genre if you tell them that ‘You don’t have to be good. You don’t have to be a great rapper to make money out of this.’ You know? And I think that’s just a total wrong way to look at it…For the most part, I would wanna promote at the best that you have to be really good. And you have to be exceptionally talented to even step your foot into this ring of rap music. You know what I’m saying? It should be that competitive. We have Kendrick Lamars. We have Danny Browns…You gotta know how to rap.”
He makes a valid point. Do you agree? See Danny take a shot via Twitter in the gallery.
