Pete Rock is a man known for speaking his mind. The legendary Hip-Hop producer offers his opinion when other people, especially those persons on a similar level of accomplishments, prefer to shy away from commenting on.

Pete Rock has a right to speak bluntly on this matter. He’s earned this right from a life of dedication to Hip-Hop as a culture, let alone to the art of rap. He was born in the Mecca of Hip-Hop’s birth place, the Bronx. He has worked with many great emcees and producers alike including, but not limited to, CL Smooth, Grap Luva, the late Heavy D, Marley Marl, DJ Premier, Large Professor, 9th Wonder, DJ Green Lantern, Rakim, Nas, the late J Dilla, AZ, Wu-Tang Clan, Pharoahe Monch, Kanye West, Smif-N-Wessun, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, Ill Bill, Non Phixion, Smoke DZA, Kendrick Lamar, Skyzoo, Roc Marciano and others. Most importantly, Pete Rock has mentored many students of Hip-Hop.

The point being is that Pete Rock’s point of view should be respected and considered when discussing Hip-Hop and its various art forms.

“Horrible! This new shit is forced! No Leadership just Followers!

what happened to the actual artist who gave you official inspiration for real to become something in music? for me it was marley marl,teddy riley,howie tee,45 king,Larry Smith (RIP) This new generation shits on that leading music to a bad place. Where i come from if your talent wasnt for real you had no chance. The music business is built for music people not just any artist,any DJ or any producer. God had to bless you with something real to share with the world in order to be seen or heard your true talent had to shine through. Today you dont have to have talent no more just a look,a instagram page or some sort of social media presence or you can also act like an idiot too and get on today. Integrity of hip hop is out the window due to greed and thirstyness to be popular. Thats today’s generation. Minus the real dudes yall know who yall are,my 90’s torch bearers and dudes who keep the music real. Even some artist from my generation can be annoying 🤷🏾‍♂️ i got love for them even when they dont show it back to me. Mainstream radio sounds really bad and nobody in that world cares about real music anymore,they big up this new shit like its talent involved 😂😂😂 Mofo’s hate the truth,and thats a gotdamn shame man. Big up to all real artist who make real music from new to old. Mainstream world 👎🏾”
