STRONG WORDS :: “THEY TRYING TO FORCE US OUT” - FAB
VIA SOHH
Fabolous recently spoke on the rap game’s need for balance and why, he says, New York rap styles are not getting their fair share.
In addition to balance, Fab also pointed out what he ?believes is a?lack of Southern radio support for New York artists.
“I’m just trying to hold it down for the city, you know what I mean,” he told radio personality DJ Kay Slay. “We gotta keep pushing from all angles, they trying to force us out. Not really trying to force us out, but take over. We need balance. Everybody can shine but we need balance and New York gotta get in where we fit in, too…[Listening to New York radio] I hear all the people they try to keep away from mainstream radio. I love everything that everybody’s doing but you definitely need balance ’cause I come from that era where you had balance in hip-hop. You had De La Soul but you had hardcore stuff too…You don’t hear nothing [on Southern radio]. You might have something classic, like iconic, they don’t cross that line…It’s a balance too with me because I came from the mixtapes and the streets, but at the same time, I knew once you get to a bigger level and can get seen on TV, you wanna appeal to the ladies as well.”
