Condemns the "disposable art society"
Rapper after rapper has weighed in on the Rich Homie Quan flub, and now The Roots' Questlove has thrown in his opinion.
Quan has faced much derision since flubbing the lyrics of Biggie Smalls' 'Get Money' verse at VH1's Hip Hop Honors. Quan went so far as to apologize to all of New York for his misstep.
The incident seems to have had a big impact on Questlove.
In an online rant, Quest condemned the disposable nature of mass consumer culture and suggested despairingly that most people can't name ten "worthy acts that give [them] the chills in 2016".
He particularly called out artists who cultivate large social media presences while lacking genuine magnetism.
Quest used Instagram to make this assertion. Check out the full post below.
