Lil Yachty is in a lane of his own. However, the self-proclaimed “King of Teens” recently admitted to Billboard that he “honestly couldn’t name five songs” by Hip Hop icons Tupac Shakur or The Notorious B.I.G.
The rapper later added: “But if I’m doing this my way and making all this money, why should I do it how everybody says it’s supposed to be done?”
Despite not being able to reel off five songs by two of Hip Hop’s biggest stars, Lil Yachty has been on a winning streak as of late. He signed to the Atlanta-based indie label Quality Control back at the start of June and already this year has featured on two chart successes with D.R.A.M’s “BROCCOLI” and PartyNextDoor’s “Buzzin.”
“I’ve found myself,” Lil Yachty says. “I’m like the youth’s big brother now. I have to be that voice for them.”
Who is this clown?
“If you don’t know where you are from then you don’t know where you are going”
sad, but what do you expect?? they died before he was born and hip hop is a BS genre that tends to let their legends legacies die unline any other genre
Not true I’m 17 from Australia and bump biggie & pac all the time i find this disrespectful AF
I was born in 1996, and i still listen to Pac like every other day. If people like yachty don’t have respect for the culture, then obviously, they won’t have respect for the legends. Such a shame.
After looking at that picture, I’m not sure he could name five letters in the alphabet.
Maybe “N”..maybe
Well lil douchebag ill admitt i cant and wont ever be able to name 5 of your songs… ya aint shit if you do not even know one of the largest moments that kicked off rap as a mainstream genre i give this dumb nigga 5 months before hes even more irrelevant and shame on hiphopdx for letting this dumbass niggas manager pay off your website to keep publishing this garbage….or being too cheap and pathetic of a company to invest $$$ in good quality interviews with talented artists
Fuck this troll. people will say anything for that 5 mins of fame. GARBAGE. I’m glad I can say I’m almost 30 and I”m considered a hater a majority of you young’ns have no respect for art and a message
Just what rap needs more of…not

WSHH has been gassing these no-bars having ass clowns up for years. It’s time to pull the plug before they ruin hip-hop for good.
He’s one of those slurring idiots who sounds like he got stung inside his mouth by a wasp.

Your lame you snot rocket hip hop shit top gave my mama gwop to eat deez diseased cheese ball knees hold up wait a second freeze. SkeetSkeet fleas.
And this is the problem with today’s hiphop.. Learn the history and you can see what it takes to be a real artist
What’s up with all these rappers looking corny as fuck these days? When that start happening..damn this nigga look funny.
Why you thieving my name son. LOL. HAHAHA all good.
Why do we know about this? I blame hiphopdx and other websites for advertising no name rappers all the time. In the 90s you had to be good and respected etc to be mentioned in magazines and on radio. You had to work hard. Now days you can have one song on YouTube and hip hopdx will talk about you.
I can’t blame the guy, its those greedy label heads promoting this bullshit, and websites like hiphopdx promoting this guys. Real hiphop needs to come back to the mainstream, i don’t know when, but sooner than later.
”Real hip hop” lmao
I couldn’t name 1 song from this guy
i tupac and biggie
I agree with the other sentiments stated. If we stop reporting on these people they would go away.
Unfortunately clicks consumed the culture. And all of us are part of the problem by giving this attention technically.
So while I’m here let me promote:
Vic Mensa and Vince Staples have great recent projects.
Schoolboy album is amazing
and cop the at Isiah Rashad when it drops.
Promote what you love and not what you hate and see how things change.
vic mensa? really?
Who the fuck is lil yachty….look like a clown asss dude gtfo never heard ur music dont want to you look wack as fuck
……………Wtf is a “lil yatchy”???
