I support anyone trying to be successful through Hip Hop. As an elder emcee, when a young aspiring emcee comes to me for guidance and empowerment, it is not my place to criticize such young artists or disregard their talents because their artistic styles may not be identical to mine, or meet the approval of people like you.

My role as an elder emcee is to inspire younger emcees; not tear them down and disregard their talents like our parents did to us at the birth of Hip Hop.

I never intended to offend anyone and I want to not only apologize to you, but also to Young Prince Charles, his family, New York and the entire Richmond, Virginia. Thanks for even caring enough to write back, your hiphop wisdom is far beyond anything my brain could fathom. Showing 1- 14 of Add a comment.
