DJ Premier and Bumpy Knuckles AKA Freddie Foxxx recently sat down with OutDaBoxMedia to talk about many things, most of which was age discrimination in today's hip hop scene. The two musicians spoke specifically on the age gap in Hip Hop, corporate radio, and paying homage to those who came first. DJ Premier summed up his thoughts best by saying "The age thing is really one of the biggest problems that we face in Hip Hop right now. Because it seems like everybody wants to focus on ‘when should you stop.’ And you never stop something that you love.”
Check out the interview above and get some insight from hip hop heads who do it for the love of the culture and less about fame and fortune.
“I think people have to be not so self-centered when it comes to the presentation of the music meaning don’t get boggled down with the corporate radio and all that stuff, I mean that stuff is definitely necessary you can’t front on that, but that’s not what it’s all about. Because if you really about keeping the culture alive and relevant there’s ways to do that.” --Bumpy Knuckles
