7. "It doesn't. But this generation just seems so willingly young and ignora..." In response to In response to 0 Mon Aug-29-16 04:10 PM by Overqualified
On the Taxstone podcast, Beanie Sigel made a very astute observation (I think he was asked about Uzi Vert). This generation gets a pass for being "just kids" when it comes to the level of their artistry and skills...but Rakim, Nas, Pac, Big, etc. were writing their classics and more at that age. For me, being a teenager in the mid-late 90s era, by virtue of their subject matter and rhyme style, these guys just seemed so much more..."grown" and adult to me, whereas rappers these days strive to be seen as contemporaries of the audience.
