The local press brought up the decline of gangster rap & the transition of 90s-era gangsta rappers to Hollywood, to which Antonio replied:
“Well, I think of him as an ar-tiste. An ar-tiste can move with their heart, and move with the times. If what you’re asking is if he’s moved on, or if he’s dated or not dated, the answer is that he’s always been a great ar-tiste. A lot of the great ar-tistes, at the time you’re talking about, were artists like Jay-Z, who are still on top today. Not much has changed to be completely honest. People who decided to do film or comedy with their careers, it’s because they had the range and talent to do it. It had nothing to do with gangster rap['s declining popularity.]”
“I think he’s bringing it hard and heavy, you know? My daughter said I was cool because I was coaching with him, instead of him coaching with me. All right, thank you!”
Today’s pick is actually one of the few to actually freestyle off the top of the dome (with a different verse for each damn take) so for effort alone, he should get an AYE!
