Cut the kid some slack guys!
We shouldn’t be pressing anyone to do something they not comfortable doing just because it’s “culture”.
As a person who values and respects freestyle culture… Ive also said “no” to freestyling many times. For many reasons. One of them was being “mentally unprepared”. But that shouldn’t take away from me being a great musician.
That’s like saying “hip hop djs are wack if they can’t mix vynal or scratch”.
I mean. Honestly. Good freestyles get you respect. But I know great freestylers with wack songs.
Are they considered better than a good musician who doesn’t freestyle?
Come on guys. We all know great artists that choked on air. I bet they wish they said “no” too. Either way. Celebrate what she CAN do. Not what she can’t!
K.keed is a GREAT artist on the rise and ya’ll making a big deal out of 1 small aspect of the culture that doesn’t take away from her ability to write great raps!
With that said. Shout out to speedsta too for keeping that element alive on mainstream radio. We still love it. But let’s be open minded to the YN’s preferences on the matter.
