VIDEO: Boi-1da speaks on BET's Top 10 Rappers Of The 21st Century
1da weighs in with RealTalkNY on BET’s Top 10 list. I feel him on the politics of being an upcoming producer who has to worry about how his opinion will affect his b.i., but that’s exactly why lists like this coming from the traditional and current powers-that-be are always suspect.
I always say, if we gave hip-hop the same love and due diligence we gave the sports we follow, the genre and culture would be sooo much better. There’s no way anyone can tell me the average hip-hop fan is as educated on hip-hop, as the average basketball fan is on basketball.
I mean can you even fathom someone arguing for one ball player’s greatness over another based on anything BUT their overall skills? Why should hip-hop be any different?
