From what longevity looks like for The LOX to how he thinks about MC craft vs modern standards, Styles P keeps it one hundred the whole way through. He gets into the Drake ghostwriting debate, why MC and rapper are not the same thing, and how artists like J Cole and Kendrick Lamar still represent the craft today.
