Charlamagne Tha God says OG rappers are the reason younger artists are rapping about their crimes.
“A lot of this is our fault, and the reason it’s our fault is because so many rappers from our generation in the 1900s were lying, lying their ass off. And it made a bunch of kids think the way to get in the game was to be the biggest criminal alive. And guess what? You can’t do that,” he said.
Young Thug and Gunna are currently behind bars facing RICO charges. The Fulton County DA recently defended her decision to use their lyrics in court against them and others.
He continued: “You can’t be the biggest criminal alive and be a rapper at the same time. But it’s our fault because we should have never let rappers lie like that for entertainment ’cause if it’s just art, then we have to demand that some of these people change the content of their art because all it’s doing is getting a bunch of people indicted and influencing a generation of kids wrong, period.”
Is he right?
