JANUARY 30th- FEBRUARY 5th, rappers gotta love rap!

I hate that rappers disparage rap as a genre and an art form whenever they start venturing into an expanded sound. Lil Yachty did that a bit at the launch party for his newest release, Let’s Start Here (a strong offering in my opinion). It’s an experimental foray into something new and alternative for him. The features were more diverse. He’s “elevated.” Yachty stated that he wasn’t just a “rapper” when talking about his growth as an artist. Rappers don’t respect rap as an art and I feel like it’s proximity to blackness is why.
