Lil Yachty is not without his share of critics. Between calling Notorious B.I.G. overrated and the distaste among much of the old school for his “mumble rapping,” legions of rap fans out there have found reason to dislike a successful young artist on the come-up.
Lil Boat appeared in a good-natured interview on The Breakfast Club recently and was talking to the hosts about the public perception of him, when Charlamagne pointed out that when people want to use an example of a “wack rapper,” they generally pick Lil Yachty.
“You are the poster child for wack rappers. If they want to say somebody’s wack, they say you. It was Trinidad James at one point. As far as being the poster child for when people who wanna say what’s wrong with Hip Hop … It’s a generational thing.”
Understandably, Lil Yachty seemed pretty shocked by Charlamagne’s blunt assessment of him: “Woah, that’s what I’m in?!”
“That’s crazy! We’re in two different lanes, me and Trinidad James. To even say that I took his spot … just to sit here and hear you put me in Trinidad James’ spot of the ‘shine of being terrible,’ I don’t think I’ma claim that.”
Charlamagne walked the situation back a little bit, claiming that the Migos had also been victims of public perception.
“My point is it doesn’t matter, it’s a generational thing.”
When Glossy Chapstick the God says you ain’t shit…. That’s probably his #1 comment. Now he can go back to plucking those eyebrows
LETS START CALLING OUT WACK NEW YORK RAPPERS . REMY MA FLOPPED THE LOX FLOPPED DESIIGNER FLOPPED RAEKWON FLOPPED TALIB FLOPPED . NEW YORK’S NEW BATCH OF ARTIST DIDN’T CONTINUE ‘LL DMC RAKIM ECT FOUNDATION . THEREFORE THE REAL REASON WHY NEW YORK HIP-HOP SUCKS .
Lol cause ny dont make club music.they might not get sales but they make up with show money
Why are dissing people with great careers. This fucker lil yacht or whatever just puts himself in bad spots for attention. Why is he on the breakfast club when he knows shit has been said about him there.
the people you listed still go on worldwide tours 20+ years after they entered the game because they have a following. 99% of the trash out today won’t have a song to stand on in 5 years from now let alone 20.
I agree no one listens to ny hiphop . The Streets clubs or youth don’t listen to ny hiphop.
some are saying ny isn’t apart of hiphop anymore .
The Streets, clubs or youth don’t listen to NO hiphop, you mean.
..holy shit i think this Charlamagne guy might be onto something here!
Charmalagne is normally a dick but he’s 100% right on this one. Lil Yachty is your typical rapper signed by some white executive, who doesn’t know shit about hip hop but has the platform to promote whatever bullshit they want. That’s why he has done songs with Charlie xcx and a few other popstars. Welcome to the 2010s hip hop
Why is ALWAYS “white executives’? Black executives are just as capable. It’s called cornering a market and profiting. your systematic, racially programmed mind needs a reboot.
black people often mistakes jevvs for whites..good example of this is the transatlantic slave trade. blacks blame the wrong people. for more information, Google “we thought they where white” by Dontell Jones
*Dontell Jackson. my bad.
Abso-F***ING-lutely!
NEW YORK STATISTICALLY HAS THE WACKEST RAPPERS . YOU NEVER HEAR NEW YORK RAPPERS MUSIC PLAYED IN THE CLUB OR IN THE STREETS AND THE YOUTH DON’T LISTEN 2 IT .
Real hip hop has never been popular only goofy soft bullshit that you hear on the radio a watered down version of it so the simple can pick up you would have to stay up pretty late to hear the pure shit the shit that made it an art so taking shots at New York only proves that deep down you know that and you hate that fact which makes you a clown enjoy your year and a half of fame then take your clown ass to college mumbling fuck
Don’t know which clubs you goin’, or what kids you referring to, but wherever I’m goin’ I hear Tribe’s last shit, Joey Bada$$, A$ap, Dave East etc., along with “usual” stuff by Drake, Big Sean, Migos et all…
the two queens of the gay carnival head to head
i dont know about that maino is top shelf wack rapper. Just “real hip hop heads” are like battered women they like thug as guys who act super ignorant.
… because Lil yachty doesn’t act super ignorant
yeah he does but what the fuck do people want , 90s rap is over let the guy get his people are buying and listening to it so stop hating i dont listen to his shit i breeze buy i dont cry that no one listens to snoop nas em ugk bone thugs etc. when i use to listen to hip hop in the 90s all the old heads then wanted me to listen to rakim run dmc or krs one and it was like fuck that old shit history repeats itself. and charlamagne is a retard they need to get people who make music or rap or produce to comment . hes just stating what his opionion is and its bull shit. its like when sports commentators comment on a sport they cant play
So who are you then? I don’t see you rapping, producing or making music yet you’re commenting like everyone else. So I can’t say whether I like a dish or not because I’m not a chef? Or I can’t say if I liked or didnt like a certain movie because I’m not a director? Everyone has the right to voice their opinion, whether you like it or not.
exactly and lil yahty or soulja boi or who ever has the right to make any music they want creatively and if the masses want to support and buy it then its quality because a whole lot of people want it just because a few ‘REALL HIP HOP HEADS” want to hate dont make his music less relevant listen to his lyrics its the same bull shit ass get money fuck bitches nice clothes rappers been rapping about, or money hoes and clothes is just the way you want to hear it.
Charlamagne calling out these wack phaggots to their faces, gotta respect the dude
Yachty should fire his agents because The Breakfast Club is the wrong fuckin show for him to be on if he doesn’t want to get tortured.
I didnt want to comment here but felt obligated after the ridiculous comments below.
First off #1. Your comparing Lil Yachty to all of New York Hip Hop? You can always tell the sucker in the crown cause he tries to hard to get his point across when he notices no one pays him any attenion (ALL CAPS) #2. The generational gap between when hip hop started and when this guy debuted it over 30 years! Think back of all the classic hip hop songs ever made. Did Lil Yachty come to mind? Exactly. #3 Just cause your hot in the streets atm doesnt mean you can just be dumb and ignorant and get a pass. Look at Nelly hottest rapper in the world at one time. Probably not the best rapper but dude was humble and made smart moves in the street and people respect that no matter what they think of his music. #4 If you think Yachty lyrics are dope go to rap genius read any of his lyrics then go read the lyrics to a Rakim song and tell me who is the better m.c
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for this. I always tell people to go read their favorite rappers lyrics on Rap Genius. If it doesn’t make sense when you say it outloud without a Beat (IE Nicki Minaj), they are A Wack rapper. Catchy Hit songs doesn’t mean good rapper. In an industry where lyricism used to be taken seriously, it’s just sad to see how badly it’s falling off. How a little fire truck redhead MF going to think that he’s any better than Trinidad James? Lol
His rhymes are cold like Minnesota cold like Minnesota cold like Minnesota………
Ive never listened to his music just based off the fact that Broccoli was wack af and went 5x platinum cuz those lil Juju on beat be-be’s kids keep paying for the shit. All rappers born after 96 are gonna be ass af by default cuz by the time theu were old enough to process and experience music frfr, music had already shifted to wack shit. He said at one point SOULJA BOY was his IDOL. What do you expect here?
Don’t nobody want to hear that old shit
It requires talent to be creative. Some music is a result of souls empty of moral standards let alone talent. A society that elevates this material only demonstrates its own feebal mindedness… Be healthly yall an support that quality Hiphop
That’s like a gay dude calling another gay dude a phaggot!
But that doesn’t mean the accusation is wrong. If the dude’s gay, doesn’t matter who points it out.
I didn’t say anything about the statement being wrong for the reason I don’t consider this clown a REAL artist. The only use any label has for this “guy” is the appearance they probably created for this lost person.
He doesnt even rap. Th3 music he does is not rap. They need to call this shit something else. For example, Drake is king of POP- Rap. Yachty does child pop songs, singing shit
you only paid $49 ,, and get start work , this also work on i phone and any kind of devices, and one thing more,,,,
Lil Yachty and Lil Vert I always mix up for real
Lets keep it 100……..dude is TRASH.
Charlamagne trippin yatchy one of the best rappers out right now……he just mad cause yachty making more money den him
lil floater in the toilet.
I still don’t know what this dude sounds like, which is why I wonder if people hate these wack rappers so much, why do some of you give them shine? In today’s day and age, it’s easier than ever to avoid horrible music if you want to.
Its dead because the platform that was set up for new York rappers has faded away why ? Biggie Nas and Jay kept it going . New Yorks new crop of artist are Lazy and Wack and killed NY Hiphop .
ny hiphop doesn’t sell . its not played in the club . nobody books ny artist for shows . look @ ny artist on instagram their broke . ny fronting when they know honestly ny not really a part of hiphop .
SO SAD BUT TRUE
He’s just horrible period.Old school new school whatever.Im 34..Music has evolved…Point is good music is good music time won’t change that.I got young cousins they like this cat.Hes the worst to me but it has nothing to do with age/generation.
