Rich The Kid has no intentions of stepping up his bars. In an interview with XXL, the Rich Forever Music founder declares he’s not going to switch up his style or start using meticulously crafted rhymes.

happy to say I’ve never heard this guy”s “good” music
Must be a Quality Control Music thing
This is the ONLY way these clowns get attention. TV commercials last longer than their careers anyway.
Haha check your stats homie, rich been around for 5-6 years with nothing but heat but wouldn’t know that cause you still listening too Tupac wanna be gangster ass lmao old head go to sleep
A. None of us here are even “old heads”.
B. Heat? Heat that’s been widely panned by Hip-Hop heads everywhere.
C. Pac shot 2 cops, that’s more gangster than anything Rich did.
the underground will rise again because of these clouwns
Curren$y
Lmfao. “Hits” lmao. “Good music” ??? to make good music you have to be at least a bit lyrical.. this dude makes shitty music
“[To] make good music you have to be at least a bit lyrical…”. I wish to God this were true. Buuuuut it’s not.
Top rappers and most successful at the moment. Talking about streams, downloads, pay for shows. Kendrick, Cole, Em, Logic, Joyner, Wayne, shit even Drake wether it’s ghost written or not has lyrical shit. I can’t even tell you one song Rich the Kid got, all I know him from is gettin robbed and beat up and this article I clicked cause I was like,”must be another auto tune mumbler sayin shit like that”. I was right.
Joyner is rap for nerds and virgins
Hahaha yeah hits you old ass lame. Keep playing old ass g unit records and act like people ain’t tryna hear rich lmao you old heads I tell you
A lot of us hear are in our 20s. None of us are old heads. We just have standards.
You make the type of music that Pill Heads Pop Bottles to…Bravo
shitty soft crap is all this moron puts out.
Cool story bro
Make Bangers that are catchy and have good song structure or Make Lyrical Miracle bullshit to appease old lames and young nerds in comment sections?
Lyrical emcees who made bangers that are catchy have outlasted any of the bullshit rappers you speak of, you fucking clown.
Thank you!
Lmaooo these old heads mad! Take y’all old asses to bed and let us youngins keep making these bangers people wanna hear
Old head? We’re in our 20s.
Bangers? Yeah for people that don’t know good Hip-Hop.
For those who can handle Bangers and Lyrics at the same time do yourself a favor and check out the Underachievers….
as always Support quality Hiphop y’all
They’re cool, but I prefer Flatbush Zombies.
He’s really saying he isn’t capable of developing more complex rhymes and will not take the time to improve, so he will stick to his amatuer rhymes because his fanbase consists of people who do not care about lyrical songs.
His fan base consist of a big bag of cash while you trying to act like he got to be Tupac trash ass on a beat
Are you on his payroll, sucking his dick on the low, have no life, or all of the above? lol
Oh god here we go another mad depressed old head Lmaoo talking that gay mess smh. Go sit back down in the old folks home and think about what you just said lmaoo
And they said white people would ruin Hip-Hop.. Ha! #WeGottaDoBetter
Lmaoo nobody ruining hip hop homie where you been?!? Just cause you don’t like his shit don’t mean no one else does haha you old heads kill me man
Bitch The Cild. Ain’t nobody buyin’ yo shit.
You see them tour dates?!? Lmao obviously someone is and his albums get play anywhere Lmaoo go drank that prune juice and take yo old ass to bed
The people buying tickets to see him live know nothing about Hip-Hop.
Getting played on the radio means nothing.
Old? A lot of us are in our 20s.
He can’t step up it’s that simple. He just don’t have it in him. Him saying he make good music is questionable. I don’t have any of his music in my collection. It’s not just about complex rhymes. It can be thought provoking or wise and intelligent.
This man has the IQ of a goldfish if he believes lyrics doesnt matter in hip hop
They don’t matter obviously if he on the radio cashing checks you’ll never see Lmaoo you old ass grandpas on this site kill me
Almost as bad as young troll whos only got their young age to brag about right???wtf are you gonna do when (if)you hit 30? Seriously…
Y’all big mad! Haha I can promise you when I hit 30 I won’t be hating on another man no matter how he raps lmao old ass clowns just mad he getting a bag that’s all
He’s a true taste maker isn’t he, if you want his bags be as good as him,
Clearly they do matter since he’s not respected by actual Hip-Hop heads.
Being played on the radio is irrelevant.
What’s with this talentless and ugly moron that should have been swallowed by his Mother’s forehead?
He says this because he is not capable of coming up with any good lyrics…he just can’t do it and he doesn’t even wanna try…and that’s what’s wrong with hip hop today…they’re not capable of ill lyrics
Lmaooo obviously he doesn’t have too if he is making hits you clown ass old head. Nobody wanna heat that bullshit you talking no more. Go back to sleep grandpa
One day you’re gonna be an old head if you live long enough to make it there and just wait till you see what the next trend in music will be…I bet you will complain about it on a site somewhere and some young dude will be telling you what you are telling me
Haha naw grandpa I won’t because I understand everything has its own lane. Y’all want Tupac’s sissy ass to live on Forever like he was god himself haha clown got smoked by some REAL gangsters
the problem is that the public isn’t demanding it from the artists. He said it himself, he’s not stepping his bars up cuz he’s making hits. If what was popular and getting people paid, you damn right he’d be in the lab trying to get on his lyrical miracle bull – it’s OUR (the public sadly) is making this popular, selling out shows, and keeping them relevant. LYRICISTS AREN’T GETTING RICH
Having hits doesn’t make you good. It just means the people buying and streaming Rich’s music don’t know Hip-Hop and have low standards.
Also once again, none of us hear are “old heads”.
But there is a lane for no lyrical music…but as Cassidy once said music like this should have it’s own genre and not be called Hip Hop…that’s how I can still enjoy the music of today I don’t consider it Hip Hop…just something else
Facts. It isn’t Hip Hop.. Hip Pop(most pop artist do not write their music). A bunch of filler music, kinda like all the pop groups and artist in the 90s, and 00s. The market is over saturated, and 90% of these artist will not be here in 4 -5 yrs if that. A blind man can see this. Quality over Quantity, Substance over the same repetitive shit. Anybody who is a true fan of hip hop will agree, the rest just jump on the HipPop ABC movement while it last. lol
Don’t come to Minneapolis you bitch ass termite….we on yo head sucka..PROMISE..COME HERE AND SEE jUNE !? YEAH OK…THANKS FOR HE HEAD UP…JUST Kidding..O..scared the shit out yA..lOOK..You will be gone in 2-3 years , life shelf, you will be spoiled, your music is perisable, second..go fuck ya mother..lo…just kidding lil bitch
Lmaooo take yo old ass to bed
The new generation is so trash, and they just encourage more trash. I wouldn’t classify any of his music as bangers or hits.
Lmaoo take your old ass to bed grandpa this the new wave and you drowning
No Pause… Watch out.. he’s a fruit cake
No pause….it’s a 60 year old telling jokes from the old folks home lmaoo fuck up grandpa
If your new wave is lazy as hell. Also none of here are “old”.
Lmaooo and he ain’t lying! He makes hit records rather you like it or not. You old heads really thought outkast and all them other trash “lyricist” was gonna last for long?!? Lmaoo keep bumping that old ass Tupac while rich the kid keeps making hits
Only hits he’s making are to the Mentally Challenged and the Whiny Xanax Pill Poppin Pillow Princesses like yourself…I know your father is proud of his lil girl
Haha you on the internet hating on a man touring around the country getting a bag. Stay safe out there in your mother’s basement homie
Pot calling
You can be serious. Rich isn’t making game changing music, or rap music in general. He’s a pop artist with trap beats. Using trap beats doesn’t make you inherantly a rapper. Rich should shut his mouth and keep making music for the simple minded listeners that just want to hear a catchy hook and something to jump up and down to, and the rest of us “hip-hop heads” (not old heads) that appreciate real rap can continue to admire the quickly diminishing category of rap that’s being overtaken by this pop-rap genre that has no real quality.
Lmaoo what change do he gotta make?!? Obviously people like his music or he wouldn’t be doing tours all around the country lmao you old broke smacked old head just mad at anything
Aye bruh I hope Rich wearing a rubber……..much as you riding his dick, wouldn’t want you to get preggo. HIP HOP NEVER DIES BUT THIS NEW WAVE TRASH BLOWS WITH THE WIND. Folks like you fucking up the game. EAT A DICK SINCE YOU RIDING IT SO HARD.
And a chef doesn’t have to make food that taste good as long as it looks lit when he serves it.
Fucouttahere with that bullshit
You know everything I suppose
He make hits alright !!! Hit’s to his face every month. lol Just wait for it. It’s coming
Lol these illiterates cant string two words together. Just slurr on a beat
Haha oh god yet another old head trying to act like people want to hear “poets” on a beat all day Lmaoo! Check them your dates old head smh somebody obviously wanna hear slurring on a beat
Clearly people do since that poetry since all of that music is more critically acclaimed than the music you’re defending.
The people that want to listen to someone slur on a beat don’t know Hip-Hop.
People have been selling lame shit for years and making money. Music, Shamwows, cheap knock off clothes… list goes on. Here’s to him making another million off idiots, go get your bag lol
