It seems that many veteran rappers are weighing in on up and coming artists, and vice versa, with the latest comments coming from Kool Keith. The famed Bronx rapper was asked about younger rappers talking reckless about legends HipHopDX and he responded by saying, "That just means they don't have an education. There's no proper education. They don't really know the knowledge or who is who. They don't know any better. "
He added, "They're saying anything that comes out of their mouth without any research. A lot of them think they're good. They come from an era of non-learning. The learning process they have is so poor. You hear the songs they make? They'll stay in the chorus for 19 bars and maybe rap for like one-and-a-half bars. That comes from improper upbringing."
During his statement Keith added that a lot of what he sees with young rappers not paying homage to legends comes from their upbringing, and he added that it also stems from jealousy.
"Then there are the young mothers that bred these kids. They don't really teach them anything. That's an unattended home essentially. Schools and mothers that don't teach their kids. It also comes in a form of jealousy. Plus, they think they know it all when they don't know anything. They don't know shit. Like you said, that's what they call a rookie. That comes from not knowing what's going on. Rap isn't for everybody. Rap is for people who know they words and know wordplay. You can't just rap. Rap is not easy. It's not just about having a chorus for 19 bars."
