Cormega clears up his Drake comments
He was just saying...
XXLMag.com: There’ve been a couple stories recently where you didn’t seem happy about Drake and questioning his credibility. Care to speak on that and clear things up?
Cormega: That whole shit was bullshit. They only highlight the things that make me look like an asshole. That was for a radio interview and there were questions like, “What do you think about rappers like Drake rapping about the streets?” They told me some of the lyrics and I said I can’t respect that. I can’t respect [rappers] that had a good upbringing or are rich that rap about the streets or the struggle, it just doesn’t seem realistic to me. I’m just speaking what I feel.
XXLMag.com: So it wasn’t necessarily a problem with Drake personally but a bigger issue?
Cormega: I’m just saying what’s wrong with rap. Everybody is glorifying the stupidity, they’re glorifying the derogatory treatment of women, everything derogatory is being highlighted and used to market hip-hop. And that’s what I am against. If you’re an upstanding citizen or you come from privilege, rap about that shit, because that might help bring about change. Like, Will Smith. Nobody was mad at Will Smith, we loved him for what he did. He never rapped about gangsta shit. What I am saying is everybody doesn’t have to be a gangsta rapper.
