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.

The new wave of young rappers are really creating some commotion in the hip-hop community. Because of their age, many of them did not come up on the “classics” of the genre, like your Biggie’s and your Pac’s and your Gang Starr’s and Pete Rock’s and KRS One’s and Mobb Deep’s and the list goes on and on. And though some of the last wave of rappers may not have come up on those artists either (like Wiz, Cole, Sean, etc.), they’ve always paid homage and went back to do their research. This generation has proudly declared that they have no interest in doing that, however, and it has some people quite upset.
PartyNextDoor Is Back After Deleting His Twitter With A Cryptic Tweet
PartyNextDoor put out his long awaited P3 project this summer, but it got a lukewarm reception at best. In an interview with Rolling Stone last month, the OVO singer revealed that he wasn’t happy at all, particularly after giving Drake and Rihanna such a “moment” with the song “Work,” and not having one for himself.

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that iLoveMakonnen was no longer signed to Drake’s OVO Sound label. The “Tuesday” singer released a statement thanking Drake and the whole crew for everything they’d done for him, assuring that there was nothing but love in the decision to separate. He was a little less amicable on social media, however. Via Snapchat, Makonnen joked that he was dropped from OVO because it stands for “Overweight Only” and he’d lost weight, while also acting like he couldn’t remember the name of “that dumb ass album with the sky sh*t,” aka Nothing Was The Same. He later assured fans it was just jokes and there’s nothing but love, but apparently Drake didn’t get that memo.
