“I disagree. RTJ, Joey Badass, Kendrick, Cole, Rapsody, anderson paak, chance, all great on they way to legend,” Talib Kweli tweeted in response, yesterday (May 17).
After sharing his list of future legends, Kweli then touched on the ease in which good music can be found, today.
“You are pretending that finding good music is harder than it used to be. That is false. It’s way easier…People forget the primary subject of real hiphop from 20-30 years ago was the ubiquitous ‘wack MC.’ Cuz there was a lot of wack shit out,” the rapper wrote in two separate tweets.
