Legendary rapper Kool Keith speaks about the current state of rap and certain people thinking that 808s only belong to a certain region, but he says the drum machine is universal to hip hop. Adding to the conversation, Keith says that New York rappers messed up and ran away from their own sound, and he believes that NYC emcees were searching too hard for unique samples.
Speaking of sampling, the Ultramagnetic MCs rapper says that he's getting tired of the art form and wants to start creating original scores. He adds that he wants to make music that people will want to sample in the future, not the other way around.
