Part 1: Hassan Campbell, Chyna Brim & Harlem Legend on 21 Savage & Thug Saying "F*** The Streets"
--------
In a recent heated discussion, Harlem Legend and activist Hassan Campbell called out rapper Troy Ave for his controversial statement that "the streets is a myth." Campbell described Troy Ave as the “first ignorant n**** to say the streets are a myth,” emphasizing that the streets—and the code of honor associated with them—are deeply embedded in urban culture and survival. He painted a vivid picture of young people forced into crime due to economic hardship, dismissing claims that the street life is fabricated or insignificant. Campbell criticized rappers who, after facing legal troubles, distance themselves from street values, labeling them “rat rappers” who betray their community. Harlem Legend also joined the conversation, admitting the streets produce mostly failures and expressed regret for past choices but agreed the “streets” remain a harsh reality for many. The dialogue underscores the ongoing debate about street culture’s portrayal in hip-hop and its real-life implications.
