Veteran Nigerian hip-hop artist Reminisce has asserted that the true measure of a rapper lies in their talent, not in their financial status or streaming achievements.
He stressed that no matter how wealthy or influential a rapper may be, genuine respect within the hip-hop community is earned through lyrical prowess and skill.
The Local Rappers hitmaker made this remark while addressing the ongoing rivalry between Nigerian rap artists Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
Speaking during a recent appearance on the On The Record podcast alongside fellow rapper Vector, Reminisce explained that American rapper Kendrick Lamar is widely seen as having won his lyrical face-off with Canadian artist Drake due to superior rap skills.
He said, “Hip-hop is the only genre that doesn’t respect numbers or money. No matter how much money you make as a rapper, you can’t buy it [the respect of the Hip-hop world]. That’s one thing I love about Hip-hop. You have to earn it. People have to say, ‘Vector is a good rapper, he’s a legend.’
“If you like see 5 trillion streams, if you like name your album the greatest. Nobody cares. Rap respects pure skills. That’s why Kendrick Lamar is widely adjudged the winner of his hip-hop battle with Canadian superstar Drake. If you look at the margin between Drake and Lamar in terms of commercial, it’s very wide. But because it’s about skill set, which is the primary thing in hip-hop, Lamar won.”
