What happened to you, hip hop? At this point, you’re not recognizable. How can you even justify this? It would be one thing if Tommy Hilfiger’s son, Rich Hil, made this video and put it out on his own. But he’s signed to Warner Brothers, a major label. And Lex Luger is producing. This has to be the industry hitting rock bottom, right?

simply awful
Fortunately for me, I knew absolutely nothing about Rich Hil before this video, and will forget the little that I do know soon enough. What is there to remember? Another poor little rich prick with all the advantages in the world gettin' over due to his daddy's accomplishments. Been there, seen that, and will see several more before my ashes hit the urn.
In a comment to a buddy who shared this, I pointed out that – rather than questioning (or blaming) hip-hop for this hot, diaper-filled garbage – the question that I'm more inclined to ask is how a multi-millionaire brings up a kid who could make trailer trash look the middle class? (And what does that say about America? Screw hip-hop.)
I was even beginning to think that maybe he's "slow," so that I could cut the kid some slack. And he might actually BE slow, but even that's an incredibly poor excuse for a line like "I'm nuffin like you."
Nuffin?! Nuffin?! Man, NOTHING says "I'm a poor little rich prick poser" as loudly as that line does.
I could only excuse that if he grew up like the economically disadvantaged demographic that's he's trying so hard to emulate. Who could even take this kid seriously, other than Warner Brothers, the people who buy (or steal) his music, and the prescription pill abusers of suburbia?
To be fair, too, it should also be said that this kid is just wading in the shallow waters that rap music found before he was even spermatozoa. "Sippin on some Sizzurp" is a stunning example of what I mean. And even that was a late-comer to rap music's 'bottom of the barrel' party.
As for Rich Hil, don't blame hip-hop. Blame the parents. And then blame Warner Brothers.
First and foremost, this isn't Hip Hop, it's Rap. And it's open to anyone: black, white, rich, poor.
You should be blaming prejudice people such as yourself, people who reinforce the stereotypes. So rich/white kids can't express the themselves with rap? Sure, this particular rich white kid is whack, but you judge him as if you know his situation…. as if Money is the answer to all problems.
Tho it is kinda ironic how this dude's father made bank off the streets in the 90's, and now his kid is emulating it.
he looks like corey haim Prayer to the roller boy
bucky, you and i know what's up — real recognize real — we're true hip hop heads, so you know this is not the proper venue to be discussing the state of hip hop.
but basically, this is the bottom.
