Pete Rock On Hip-Hop: ‘We Lost Our Integrity Chasing The Money’

As
we
celebrate
50
years
of
Hip-Hop,
we
always
remember
to
pay
homage
to
the
GOATs
that
came
before
us.
This
includes
Pete
Rock,
who
recently
shared
his
sentiments
on
the
current
state
of
Hip-Hop
as
a
whole.

Sharing
to
his
one
million
followers
on
Instagram,
Pete
Rock
posted
a
clip
of
Erick
Sermon
addressing
how
the
genre
of
Hip-Hop
has
become
unrecognizable,
even
suggesting
changing
the
name.  

Pete
Rock
added
his
two
cents
in
the
caption:
“They
should
change
the
music
too
WTF
🤦🏾‍♂️
tryna
create
a
narrative
that
aint
working.
Pile
driving
the
culture
straight
in
the
ground.
We
created
real
history!
idk
what
da
hell
they
creating
today
but
it
damn
sure
aint
history
or
hip
hop
thats
a
fact.”

Of
course,
Pete
Rock
is
valid
in
saying
he
created
real
history,
is
revered
as
one
of
the
greatest
producers
of
all-time.

He
continues,
“We
lost
our
integrity
chasing
the
money.
The
bag
as
they
say
has
become
the
problem
and
the
focus
point
in
the
culture.
Makes
it
corny
when
yall
make
it
about
money
smh
🌽
Everyone
extra
sensitive
about
opinions
smh.
Soon
as
you
have
an
opinion
your
a
hater
automatically
lol.
Clown
shit
🤡
we
all
out
here
working
to
make
better
music.
Why
dont
try
and
do
the
same
thing
🤷🏿‍♂️🤨🤦🏾‍♂️”

The
clip
derives
from
an
interview
Erick
Sermon
did
with
Say
Word!
Podcast
back
in
November
of
last
year.
