Legendary UK Hip Hop DJ 279 talks about what his definition of what hip hop is. Watch the full interview and much more @ http://www.youtube.com/djbonesandmr13
I kinda agree with what 279 is saying, but it's sad because Drake for example is a great rapper but the radio stations AND his own label were marketing him as an rnb artist. He's a rapper who fortunately for him has a good singing voice too.
The MOBO's have become too commercialised, but that's expected from anything that becomes a success and aims to appeal to a mass audience. We have to applaud the artists who managed to gain fame from their hard work though.
Big interview.
