Lil Yachty Gets Candid About Why Big Rappers Are Lame

Lil Yachty proves time is a mistress riding on a turbulent sea. She waits for no man or boat. The former King of the Teens is currently 20, which is essentially the new 30 in a genre powered and consumed by the youth.


Last Friday (March 9), the world acquired Lil Boat 2. It is a stark departure from the pop-focused affair of his debut album, Teenage Emotions. Alternatively opposed to crossover appeal, Yachty's second studio-album seeks to place his bars toward the center and move past the "devasted and confused" reception of his first album. In an interview with MTV News, Yachty described what he dislikes about big artists and why he tries to embrace a new generation of rapper.


"If I ever visualize new talent that's super dope I like to tell them," mentioned Yachty. "Artists, man I hate these big artists man these guys are secretly in back of closed doors bumping all these new kids' music — loving it, replaying it all of time. Know all of the lyrics, although they'll never tell them. They'll never reach out and mention, 'Man I like your song or I love your mixtape.' Love it, man. Like love the person's music, although never tell them. I think that's lame.


The Excellent Control rapper also revealed as soon as we may expect to hear his upcoming collab assignments with Takeoff, Gucci Mane and Migos.


"Takeoff is awesome," mentioned Yachty. "Gotta catch him any time Whenever I can catch him. You know its very hard, however As soon as I do catch him its awesome. He's so funny. He pull me to side all of the time and he checks on me. He's just an intelligent guy."


Yachty continued that Glacier Boyz — his teamwork mixtape with Gucci Mane and Migos — will be releasing immediately after Lil Boat 2.


"That's very soon actually," mentioned the Excellent Control rapper. "That's very soon. Like Immediately after Lil Boat 2 drops not long after."
