I guess the color of his skin is black.

You're not really giving him a hood pass, right?

Hurricane Chris is on Swag 2.

She's fire.

And I'll be honest, Cardi B album hella hard to me.

Cardi album's good, yeah.

Cardi made a better album than Thug.

Granted, she had eight years to do it.

the overall audience for hip-hop.

There's a lot of different factors, like when you look at the number of hip-hop songs on the Hot 100, when you look at the number of hip-hop artists that are on Coachella.

There's very many signs that suggest to me that the mainstream is kind of losing interest in hip-hop.

And I wonder...

when that's going to change.

I feel like a lot of it is kind of like star oriented, you know, like, like, like hip hop kind of lives and dies by the biggest artists in the genre.

You're just not going to have like a healthy hip hop industry.

because you've got like a bunch of sort of like mid, uh, uh, you know, street artists that are selling like 10, 15 K first week.

But then meanwhile, a six, nine people might not like me using him as an example, but like the six, nine era brought in a shitload of hip hop fans that probably went out and listened to other hip hop artists as well.

Drake has brought in probably more fans to hip hop than anybody else in modern history.

You know, as I feel like, uh,

hip hop just needs big stars.
