XXL recently announced the 2016 Freshman Class, which included some of the hottest rappers in the game right now. This year’s list included Anderson .Park, Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, 21 Savage, Denzel Curry, Dave East, Lil Dicky, G Herbo, Desiigner, and Lil Yachty. While most of us were all ecstatic to see that our favorite rapper had made the cut, Beanie Sigel feels otherwise. Easily crowned as one of the most influential rappers in Hip Hop, Beanie admits that he prefers to listen to old school rappers, rather than what’s considered trendy and popular.
The 42 year old Philly emcee stated, “The music of today, There’s no feeling in it. I love it when I’m in the club and it come on. I wanna hear it. The bounce on it. The vibe on it. I like that. But when I’m in the wheel at night and I’m on my way home and I’m dolo by myself. I wanna hear ‘What’s Beef.’ I wanna hear ‘All Eyez On Me.’ I wanna hear ‘Smile’ with Scarface, Pac on the joint. I wanna hear that. That’s what I want hear.”
“Right now, it’s no feeling in it. Put it like this. Two of the best that ever done it, Tupac and Biggie Smalls. They both died in they early twenties. So, you look at the rappers that’s out now. And the content of the music that they talking about. That’s in they twenties…No disrespect to nobody…but if the shoe fit, wear it. Listen to the [today’s young] rappers.”
