Rappers and journalists used to work hand-in-hand but today, many artists refuse interviews, avoid the press, and call out reporters by name. What changed? From clickbait headlines to biased coverage, misquotes, and interviewers who don’t respect the culture, hip-hop’s relationship with the media is at an all-time low. Journalists are accused of twisting narratives, causing beef, exposing private struggles, and chasing viral moments instead of telling authentic stories. Meanwhile, artists are clapping back publicly refusing interviews and relying on their own platforms instead of traditional music media. This episode breaks down the journalists hip-hop can’t stand, why rappers are fed up, and how the media lost the culture’s trust. 📌 Love the episode? Show some love, follow, comment, and share!
