In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community, a 32-year-old Perth man has declared that J.Cole’s recent apology to LA rapper Kendrick Lamar goes against the very essence of hip-hop.
“You can’t just make a diss track after he dissed you and turn around a couple days later and apologise to him, why are you apologizing? he came for you!” said a frustrated Damien Fisher (32), a lifelong hiphop fan.
Despite his upper middle class suburban upbringing, Damian considers himself somewhat of an expert to what he calls “the culture”.
One of Damien’s claims to “the culture” is that his somewhat questionable connection to Africa through his white South African mother, has given him an insight into hip hop culture in the States.
“Hiphop has fallen so much recently” Damien explained.
“The culture is so soft now, what happened to Ice Cube Vs NWA? Tupac Vs Biggie? Nas Vs Jay-Z?”
“I just can’t believe J. Cole would stoop so low as to apologize to Kendrick like that. It’s like he’s admitting defeat or something, I want to see them threaten each other” the Perth man insisted.
Despite some saying Damien’s dated views on modern day hiphop may be a little out of touch, he remains steadfast in the idea that hiphop is about competition, not apologies.
