A lot of this is true.
The irony is, it wasn’t originally like this. With the exception of Akademiks…all those other dudes were legit “hating” on newer music at a point, or just not really connecting with it. Until they saw how successful it was becoming, and the money that was being made. Plus the internet, and the way the wind was blowing.
They stopped telling their truths, or what they thought to be true, and just stamped EVERYTHING.

you remember in the mid 2010s, when these guys up the radio stations in nyc, and the older legacy radio stations were completely tuned out to music outside their bubble. They never really got to understand it, as times were changing. And instead of having a discernment and ear…they just blanketed co-signed everything. So it goes from new music “flat out sucks”, “all new music from the south is mumble rap”, “everything sounds the same”…to “I **** with Cardi B, she can spit and deserves album of the year”….from dudes like Elliot Wilson
It’s so disingenuous, because these were some of the original haters that scrambled to adapt. Watching Elliot Wilson pen, “Future is the greatest rapper alive” in 2022, is comedy to me.
