"Why Does It Matter If A Youngin Can't Recite A Big or Pac Song? "

In regards to this Yachty vs Anderson Paak twitter disagreement.
( http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lil-yachty-responds-to-anderson-paaks-subliminal-shots-news.23754.html )

I know majority of yall dont mess wit Lil Boat & thats cool but, let's imagine he could name every song Pac and BIG have ever written, it still wouldn't change the way people feel about his music today. Being able to name someone's songs has no value in this game outside of stroking backpackers ears.

Folk gotta stop making these old bammas psuedo Gawds.
