The generational gap in hip-hop is a common issue. There are always leaders of older generations who express opposition to the newest style of music from up-and-coming artists. Boosie Badazz, for example, is connecting with new acts quite regularly.
During a recent interview with Vlad TV, Boosie discussed the attitudes that many Older Gen rappers have towards the younger generation. He explained that he has remained active in reaching out and supporting new media platforms, like SayCheeseTV. Boosie also added that he is always happy to see the new generation of rappers prospering on their own terms. “I don’t see how people can’t be happy for them unless you’re not happy in life,” Boosie said
The current generation of rappers is overtaking the artists who came before them by a substantial margin, said Vlad. These artists benefit from streaming services and their understanding of the business.
“Everybody gets their time to shine,” Boosie continued. “Just like they fucked up, most of ’em gonna fuck up the same way. When people do that, I think they should just stand up and say, ‘I fucked up.’ I think it be more on the older guy not having right now to shit on the younger artist.”
That’s when Vlad brought up the value of a Jay-Z feature. “A Jay-Z feature is still considered one of the most important features you could get,” Vlad said. Boosie quickly fired back, “Drake.”
