Many people are losing their lives in Hip Hop over issues that shouldn’t even get to the point that violence is the only option. Whenever someone passes away, another rapper will say the culture needs to come together to stop the senseless violence, and Lil Yachty is the next one up with his own interesting take.
A clip from Kerwin Frost’s recap of Kanye West and Drake’s Larry Hoover benefit concert shows Yachty chatting it up with Kerwin in the stands before the show kicks off. The two talked about Drake and Kanye squashing their beef, and Yachty felt that moment was comparable to making a sandwich.
“Shit, like, I just really think it mean, like, we should really treat rap like sandwiches,” Yachty said. “We should just all come together now like sandwiches.”
“Ham, pickle, lettuce,” Kerwin joked, to which Yachty replied, “Peanut butter jelly, every time, though.”
It’s a funny opinion but one that makes sense if you sit and think about the analogy. With the recent deaths of Young Dolph, Slim 400 and Drakeo The Ruler, Hip Hop is in a troubling state, and it seems there’s more separation than unity.
Wiz Khalifa expressed similar (albeit less whimsical) sentiments when he jumped on Twitter to offer his fellow rappers advice with all the violence that’s surging through the culture. According to Wiz, artists have to move smarter and be there for one another.
Wiz Khalifa Calls For End To Violence & Disrespect In Hip Hop Following Recent Murders
“As entertainers lets try some shit next year,” Wiz wrote on Twitter. “Minding our own business. Not dis respecting each others family, dead homies, or area they come from. Stop using someone else’s significant other as a one up to the other person. Actually showing the same love you expect to get.”
He added, “Not sayin any of these are a direct cause of violence but changin em could help.”

There is no coming together. You would have to get rid of the criminal element. Which ain’t going to happen. Next you have to get rid of the jealousy and envy. Again it ain’t going to happen. I only wish it could I really do.
Sh*t sandwiches with extra cheese on it. I’m pretty sure that someone like Scarface would never work with Lil Pump or Lil Nas X getting paired with Jadakiss. They’re only going to link up with other artists that they are cool with and have something in common with. But when all you need guys do is talk trash about each other and talk about nothing but gunplay instead of wordplay, the skill level and the ability for unit goes down. So that’s why that most likely not going to happen with this generation.
New not need
Cause nobody wants to make a song with lil yachty so he’s begging to be accepted, somebody should smack him instead
