[\u2026] When we created Hip Hop 45 years ago, things started to change. We need groups that look like Migos rapping like De La Soul. We need a guy that looks like Lil Wayne talking like KRS-One. We need a guy like Drake making records like Chuck D of Public Enemy. I\u2019m not taking about to sell records and be No. 1 rappers \u2014 to see change in the every day lives of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With images of Lil Xan and Lil Pump sprinkled throughout the clip, he noted: \u201cThese kids get more attention if they talk about their Xanax problems and how much lean and codeine they take.\u00a0Run-DMC smoked more weed than god could possibly grow on this green earth. We never put those images and concepts on our records.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he acknowledged there are more lyrically elevated rappers such as Kendrick Lamar, he bemoaned underground MCs not getting the spotlight he thinks they deserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need dudes in Hip Hop that don\u2019t get high,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have Chance [The Rapper]. We have Kendrick Lamar. We have a lot of underground MCs. Those dudes should be allowed to express those views and ideas commercially. Earlier, Hip Hop was so diverse in the beginning.
