HSK Exclusive - Legendary west coast lyricist MC Eiht, is looking to bring rap back to where it belongs; after witnessing elements like myspace.com, autotune and American Idol destroy the art of music.
In this exclusive interview with Jacky Jasper, MC Eight breaks down the fact that many of today’s rappers are fake artists who don’t have their own identities. “Back in the day, you had to prove yourself in this game, nowadays…it ain’t no proving,” MC Eiht told Jacky.
Now, Compton, California native MC Eiht is set to make a comeback this year (while showing the suckas how it’s done), with his widely anticipated album “Which Way is West”, a summer tour and a radio show.
Take a listen to this exclusive interview as MC Eiht and Jacky break down the current state of Hip Hop music…

Man, this is probly one of the best interviews ever to hear. Its a trip to hear alot of legends say they dont listen to the kids now a days. In one of Melle Mels recent interviews he was saying how the music nowadays liable to drive u crazy, i totally agree. Its time for the masters to comback and reinstall some shit, continue to educate and help the community get back to these originally ideas and concepts that were of the beginning. Simply: put all the art back into everything.

8 is right, the east went from x-clad to x-man, the south went no tune to auto tune, the west went from
chop and screw to screw you, and the west coast when from the best, to followin the rest. Jerkin is not going to bring the west coast back. Like Pac said it’s
California, which is as big as the whole east coast, It’s not just LA.Listening to stuff back in the day is cool, but you got to do somethin to day, to change tomorrow, and LA. is all about game changers, and the game today is,”Now What!”
