This week’s top 10 singles and videos includes T.I. giving Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah a shockingly astute answer to a question about hypocrisy in rap music. Elsewhere, Justin Hunte explores the new world of mumble rap, rappers such as Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert. Lastly, The Game releases a diss track aimed at Meek Mill and threatens to smash on his girlfriend Nicki Minaj.
T.I. Has The Answer To Why Hypocrisy Exists In Rap
Trevor Noah is seemingly impressed with T.I.’s answer as to why rappers glorify violence but are quick to call out injustices such as on his latest release “War Time.”
“I think people need to take into consideration that Hip Hop traditionally has always been a reflection of the environment the artist had to endure before he made it to where he was,” Tip says on the Daily Show. “So if you want to change the content of the music, change the environment of the artist and he won’t have such negative things to say.”
