Trap Lore Ross addressed the controversy surrounding his remarks about Central Cee, one of the UK's most prominent rappers. While Ross agrees with the praise for Central Cee's debut album, "Can't Rush Greatness," labeling it among the greatest UK rap albums, he sparked backlash by questioning Central Cee's street credibility. Ross clarified that his comments were misunderstood. He conveyed respect for Central Cee's artistic prowess but argued that the rapper adopted an exaggerated gangster persona to propel his career. According to Ross, Central Cee had previously ventured into different music styles before aligning himself with West London's drill scene, which Ross claims was more branding than authenticity.
Ross’s comparison of Central Cee to American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, known for blending music with gang imagery, further fueled the debate. By labeling Central Cee a "studio gangster," Ross seeks to highlight the disparity between the rapper’s image and genuine street experience. Despite the backlash, Ross stands by his analysis, emphasizing Central Cee's talent while critiquing the authenticity of his gang-related narratives.
