No he claims he is not.

Check out this whingey, highly analytical article about why a journalists interview got shut down. For whoever this guys room mate is tell him he sounds like a child whinging about how he really respects rick ross then about how he just needed to hear him out. Nobody gives a gently caress about the ecstasy lyric anymore, stop. I hope there is video footage of this so we can see the journalist get punked.

Choice Quotes:
"Writers are loving corny."
"I shouldn’t have been surprised that the guy who, in the face of physical proof, lied about being a former correctional officer, is too delusional to own up to the fact that his upcoming album has no buzz and its singles have barely even registered with the general rap-listening population, and that’s why it’s been pushed back." :'(
"Last summer, I rode around LA in a BMW drinking Cristal in the backseat with my boys, rapping that contentious lyric emphatically. In that context, it’s a fantasy, but as a journalist, I fully expect to have a real conversation about it."
"Journalists aren't your loving friends, and they're not your loving publicists."
"The sad part about it is, I wasn't even looking to attack Ross and gain anything from it. I wish we could've talked more. I looked that man in the eye the entire time I was talking to him. I was an honest human being and all I was looking for was the same in return. I guess that's too much to ask."

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.

I would say its a huge stretch to call him rap, but his first record is incredible. His singing voice was still intact and his spoken word was very much on point.

Fwiw I don't see how Wayne is like Keef at all. Assuming the doc you're referencing is the one that eventually Wayne backed out on supporting. I do think it does show what's kinda driven him and kept him making music though. Also his out of control syrup habit but that's hardly new.

And I've said it repeatedly, Vice's rap coverage is horrible. It's the most condescending, patronizing borderline-racist coverage out there.

that said, the writer while corny does make a good point

"The facade is dated—honesty is captivating, and a superstar rapper’s inability to be real is why rap journalism is a hosed up game. Journalists aren't your loving friends, and they're not your loving publicists."

of course, the caveat being is that if youre a rap journalist at noisey, youre probably completely meaningless and replaceable by a horde of smarmy internet nerds

Have you ever listened to any of the Lebron Flocka James series? 2 is probably the best. But gently caress yeah. Flockaveli is on point, if you haven't listened yet and was an underrated record all around.

The issue with that quote then is why the gently caress should anyone bother to talk to a journalist? And it's not even like they can try to play the getting important information to the people card since it's entertainment. I mean, if I'm rich and famous and some dude isn't my friend, and isn't working for me, why should I give him my time?

Really the only rap "journalists" I pay attention to are Noz and Bol, and that's mostly because what they have to say is often interesting or offers some different perspective about the music.
