There’s some weird tension brewing between the new generation of rappers and like, everyone else in music, and it’s not cool. The new guys – like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty – don’t feel the need to freestyle over “classic hip-hop” beats or even know their history much, and it’s rubbing many people the wrong way. And it’s not just the OGs who are upset, but established rappers who aren’t too much older than these guys as well.
