During a recent episode of Carmelo Anthony and Kid Mero’s “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast, Fabolous speaks on Lil Durk saying Hip hop ain’t what it used to be.
“Hip Hop is what it is. It can’t be what it used to be because whenever this ‘used to be’ time that anyone is talking about [took place], it was a different time for them as well, even for Lil Durk.”
“One of the things I love and respect about Durk is [that] the sound and things changed around him, too, and he was able to adapt and find the new Lil Durk and keep going,” the New York artist continued. “I don’t think there is a ‘used to be.’ Hip Hop is going to keep evolving. It’s been evolving since the ‘80s or ‘70s when it came out.”
“It’s a business also now,” Fabolous added, referencing the impact of streaming, brand partnerships, and record labels. “At one point, it was just a craft that we all used to do and listen to. Now, it’s a whole billion-dollar empire, and it has to be treated as such.”
