“Guys like Talib Kweli and Lupe Fiasco rap messages and have something to say. Now Jay-Z is on the radio and he’s talented, but he’s just not at the level he use to be at on Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint. The genius is still there, but there’s no more motivation.”
The doctor gave his thoughts on modern Hip Hop before giving a speech in Buffalo, New York last Thursday. Even Dr. West appreciates real Hip Hop. Have things just gotten too easy for the God MC?
