While talking to Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, Action Bronson says he doesn’t like to listen to White rappers.
“I don’t think that White rappers are taking over the game at all,” Action Bronson says in the interview, which was posted today (January 21). “I myself hate listening to White rappers.”
Action Bronson says that the focus should be on the music, not the label. The rapper downplayed his recent Twitter exchange with Azealia Banks.
“Her album was coming out,” Bronson says. “She needed some publicity. It’s not even a big deal. It’s just some stupid, because I’ve met her people, I’m cool with her people.
The former chef, who says breaking a leg in the kitchen helped transition his career into music, says he is trying to get healthy.
“All I do is juice all day,” Bronson says. “ Ginger shots, all kinds of wheat grasses…[My web series] is going to be me working out in biker shorts. Doctor told me I had to get healthy. I have kids. I’m trying to live.”
The New York rapper describes some of his local Hip Hop influences.
“ I did a lot of bad things to the Cormega album,” Bronson says. “The realness, really, you know, we would drive around and do bad things to that album. Kool G Rap is one of my favorites of all time, it’s just out of control…he’s the man.”
Action Bronson, whose voice has been compared to Ghostface Killah, says he is a major Wu-Tang Clan supporter.
“My voice possibly sounds a similar tone to him, but there’s nothing about me that’s Ghostface,” Bronson says. “It is what it is. We both from New York. We both have a similar slang.”
Action Bronson’s debut album, Mr. Wonderful, is slated for a March 24 release. He says he is signed by Vice and initially was distributed by Warner Bros., but got “traded” to Atlantic. He is not sold on the major label concept.
“We’ll see, as of now I feel that I would have been moving already,” Action Bronson says. “There’s a lot of waiting, and I’m not that guy. I’m D.I.Y.”

Me too, Bronson included.
Dude is trying to talk and act like he black. Corny white people need to stay out of real nigga business. Aint no room in rap for racism.
Dude did you even read what the fuck he just said??? He said he doesn’t even like to listen to white rappers. Your comment has no relevance to this post whatsoever. Obviously he’s saying he feels hip hop although a universal art, is first and foremost an urban art. What does that have to do with racism or him being white? You are an idiot, that’s what you are. YOU have no room in rap because you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. He’s not acting black, he grew up in the streets of New York around people that would make you piss and shit your pants so don’t judge how he talks or acts. Where did you grow up??? probably some nice ass neighborhood or somewhere decent. Get off the internet you bum.
This is the dumbest comment I have read in at least a month.
So when he he listens to his Riff Raff collabo songs, he puts it on mute?
^ another good point. yeah this dude is just talking shit that don’t make sense. he’s a real life hiphop troll. he one of those dudes that needs to think before he speaks.
‘”Action Bronson says that the focus should be on the music, not the label.”
but then goes on to say he doesnt like white rappers lmao. i get what hes saying he doesnt like that sound most white rappers create but your just double crossd your own statement.
I don’t blame him, most white rappers are corny as fuck. You got the underground, wannabe 90’s, pseudo intellectual cornballs, like Atmosphere, Ill Bill, Jedi Mind Tricks, Apathy, etc then the mainstream weirdos like Eminem who complain and bitch about their family hurting their feelings and stupid shit. Paul Wall is probably the only white rapper who doesn’t act like a weirdo, but he’s wack as shit too. lol
If you think that, you don’t know shit about hip hop in general, and especially white rappers. I love seeing the racial hatred on the comment threads here.
I don’t blame him, most white rappers are corny as fuck. You got the underground, wannabe 90’s, pseudo intellectual cornballs, like Atmosphere, Ill Bill, Jedi Mind Tricks, Apathy, etc then the mainstream weirdos like Eminem who cry all day about their family hurting their feelings and stupid shit. Paul Wall is probably the only white rapper who doesn’t act like a weirdo, but he’s wack as shit too. lol
Always been a tad bit hard for me to connect with a white rapper.
Bruh…..Troy Ave that you?
You’re just mad cause white rappers do 90’s style better than black rappers. Probably won’t hear you bitching about Joey Bada$$ and he’s hot trash.
Agree to the fullest only these cornball guys you speak of also mix the pseudo intellectual shit with horrorcore which is one of the worst genres in hip hop.
Action Bronson says Cormega’s The Realness album..wow that album is only for a select few..Bronson the album is copped just off that alone. Queens NY.
His album is coming out. He needs some publicity. It’s not a big deal. It’s just some stupid. I listen to white rappers, I’m cool with white rappers.
^ i like that comment, dead on — no need to classify like that. he just trying to stir up some controversy for himself by saying some dumb hypercritical shit. i don’t listen to his music, but he has more to say in interviews than in songs. seems kinda like a d.bag
NEWSFLASH BRUH, ALL RAPPERS GO ON THE BREAKFAST CLUB BECAUSE THEY NEED SOME PUBLICITY! and his album aint coming for 2 more months,
i’m white — but this dude is the caucasian male version of azelia banks. stop running ur mouth in interviews and on twitter and focus on ur music. you have to become a respectable artist before becoming a credible source in hiphop
agreed. dude has a way of running his mouth. he needs to make his opinions rhyme and lay them over some gay MikeWillmadeit beat, maybe then someone will hear what he’s got to say
You realize he’s a well-respected artist in the hip-hop community right? Your whiteness doesn’t make the point more valid when it’s earmarked by your obvious ignorance of hip-hop.
and I will repeat for 3 dots, bronson is well respected in the circles of true hiphop, like ghostface killah, prodigy, alchemist, willie da kid, roc marciano, the NYC rap scene. sam thought his skin color made him respectable & anon chimed in just as ignorant. all you showed us is you 2 are outsiders.
Action Bronson is nothing like Azelia Banks. LOL you have no idea how stupid that statement made you look.
ACTION IS NICE. MUSIC IS MUSIC. HE GETS MAJOR PROPS FOR REPPING CORMEGA. HE COULDA SAID SOME R&B WACK SHIT LIKE DRAKE, WAYNE OR CHILDISH GAMBINO.
You are gay
But, he does say wack shit… A majority of his music is wack as fuck. At least Drake, Wayne & Gambino can relate to their fans and know their place in the game. Plus you will NEVER hear his fat ass all over the radio and selling out arenas like the artist you just mentioned.
Come to reality. Action really sucks, sorry to break it to you.
This fat clown is so wack! Trying to act like you aren’t the whitest rapper in the game! Fake ass! Dude was a chef! So gangsta! LOL
Gangsta? Did you invent a time machine in the 90s to come to this time to post that? Fuck outta here
the sheltered suburbia leaked out
Why would you want him to be a Gangsta?
nobody listens to your fat ass you fat fuck. you need to stop running your mouth and listen to more white rappers or any rapper period to get some lesson on how to fucking rap. because your fat ass is fucking garbage.
Go listen to drake and lil Wayne lol.
Jay electronica, Joey badass, action Bronson, kendrick Lamar, fashawn, big knit, j cole
The best new rappers in the game in order.
Big krit
Good list, but new??
Most these guys been around for 4, 5 years now. Jay electronica’s been around for over a decade now.
Fashawn’s been around since 2006.
Where you been??
Fuck outta here you haters hating on Action, Action is bad as fuck on the mic “Jar full o drugs” you wankers have no idea what real rap sounds like. he is nothing like them wack fuckers you comparing him to…he spits real hard so stop tryna downplay good music coz your ass don’t know shit.
Great flow, wack lyricist
what a race baiting article
action bronson is just another shitty white rapper. at least he knows that.
You suckaz hatin on Action Bronson Like He’s not ill af.. Please tell me who is out right now that can go bar-for-bar with this dude.. Cos there’s probably only a few. Go listen to Young Thugga Like he a better lyricist Lol
If someone doesn’t like Bronsino they automatically like Young Thug?
nice one brosnon. you uncle tom sheep.
I get what he’s saying. I’m a white guy who only listens to hip hop, but I don’t like most white rappers either. Most seem fake, and they try way too hard to be cool. MGK and Mac Miller are good examples, while Macklemore may not be a great rapper, he at least seems more genuine in the way he presents his personality.
Mac is cool, he grew out of the partying phase and has matured a lot
I have listened a few projects this guy has released… Annoying shouting-like flow. I’m a white guy. I like white rappers, but white people tend to have a higher-pitched voice which usually doesn’t sound good. Yelawolf, Rittz, Ill Bill, Vinnie Paz, R.A. The Rugged Man, El-P, DZK and also Eminem – they all sound dope to me. Eminem of course has fallen of a bit since his peak, but he still has his moments here and there.
Which white hip hop artists have a squeaky or higher pitch voice? Not Everlast, old Miilkbone, High & Mighty, 3rd Bass, Non Phixion, Rugged Man, El-P, Vinnie Paz, Whitey Don, Atmosphere, etc.
another fat piece of shit with squeaky voice that wanna b nigga.
“Your chance is thin like the mustache on Puerto Ricans…”
This guy is a complete and utter clown. He absolutely sucks at rapping, plus he is a peace of $h!t to his fans. He is the type of ass hole that the music game needs to get rid of.
TLDR; Action Bronson is a shitty person and an even shittier “artist”.
