During a recent interview with Billboard, Lil Yachty says he “honestly couldn’t name five songs” by Tupac or The Notorious B.I.G. Alot of people may feel like this is super bad for someone in the music field but Yachty feels like he is not here to worry about what other people do or how they have done it.
He says,
“If I’m doing this my way and making all this money, why should I do it how everybody says it’s supposed to be done?”
This isnt the first time Yachty has spoken on his opinions towards the rap game. In a interview with Tidal he called serious rap boring.
“It’s just fun, it’s not serious. I hate serious rap. It’s boring. Serious rap music puts me to sleep.”
Yachty says people need to understand that hip-hop has now changed. He says,
“I just can’t wait until the point when everyone understands hip-hop isn’t the same anymore, just don’t like me because I’m not lyrical enough… If you ever read comments and click on their profile, they’re like super old.”
