21 Savage Says Being "Great" Doesn't Matter

In a recent interview, 21 Savage suggested that technical rapping ability and being "the greatest" are secondary to being a successful "version of himself." In this segment, we discuss if this mindset is killing the sport of Hip Hop. We debate whether "being a successful version of yourself" is just code for prioritizing branding over craft, and ask how fans should react when superstars openly admit they don't care about being the best.

This is a segment from the New Old Heads Uncut episode 467, featuring DJ MetroGnome.
