In this clip, DJ Akademiks adds some context to his controversial "older rappers are dusty" statement. He explains that his words were aimed at a certain rap veteran in particular because he saw him criticize the younger generation of rappers. This prompts DJ Akademiks to share his thoughts on the mistakes today's rappers make before indicating that many of them were not mentored by the older generation of rappers, and they have dealt with the same shady business practices that their predecessors dealt with. He then goes on to call hip-hop very individualistic. To that, DJ Vlad shares some insight on where that mentality might have come from.
