Tony Yayo discussed why contemporary drill rappers may not engage in creating a peace anthem akin to "Self Destruction," a renowned track from the late '80s. Yayo reflected on the golden era of hip-hop, emphasizing how tracks like "Self Destruction" and the West Coast's "We're All in the Same Gang" addressed social issues by uniting iconic artists such as KRS-One, Public Enemy, and Eazy-E. Despite the prevalence of positive rap, Yayo suggests that the current hip-hop landscape and its focus might prevent such collaborations. The conversation highlighted the transformative role of tracks fostering unity and awareness in the past, contrasting with the complex dynamics in today's music scene.
