“#Ghostface Killah Demands New Rapp<\/a>ers Know Their History: 'Nas, Wu-Tang, JAY-Z, We Got Bodies Of Work!'<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nGhostface Killah recently sat down for an interview with Vulture<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>where he opened up about some of the issues he has with the younger generation of rappers. Considering the Wu-Tang Clan legend came up during the Golden Era when A Tribe Called Quest, JAY-Z, The Notorious B.I.G. and De La Soul led the charge, the 50-year-old is also thoroughly educated on Hip Hop\u2019s foundational artists \u2014 Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five and Sugarhill Gang, to name a few.<\/p>\n

But much like Lil Yachty demonstrated during a 2016 interview with Billboard<\/em>\u00a0when he admitted he couldn\u2019t name five songs by Biggie or 2Pac, Ghostface has observed a lot of new rappers don\u2019t know their Hip Hop history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m all for these young Black kids getting money and doing what they do,\u201d he said. \u201cBut musically, I think that becoming a rapper now, you should know the history. Know now who the Spoonie Gees and Sugarhill Gangs was, the Wu-Tangs and the Biggies, all that. Grand Puba, all these guys. You need to know these people. You gotta add to that. We got bodies of work. Mobb Deep, Nas, Wu-Tang, JAY-Z, we got bodies of work. These days, you might hear one record and don\u2019t even care about the rest of the album.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them really got talent. You might not be able to understand that talent because that\u2019s not the era you come from, but being an artist, you gotta be willing to listen to everything. It took me a while to start to understand these kids and their sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
