The Rugged Man sat down with VladTV exclusively to speak about the state of hip-hop and some of the major differences between mainstream hip-hop music. The New York native disagrees with the majority of people who find today&#8217;s rap music less than sub-par. He says there&#8217;s plenty of disappointing acts out, but each era comes with artists who aren&#8217;t to an individual&#8217;s liking. He does point out that commercial rappers aren&#8217;t making impactful music.<\/p>\n<p>He gives rappers like J. Cole props for his lyrical ability, but says that Kendrick Lamar isn&#8217;t at the top of his list. R.A. believes underground artists like King Los have presented the game with better lyrical flows.<\/p>\n<p>Rugged Man points out that many record labels want to push out hip-hop music but only to their liking. He makes Pitbull&#8217;s smash hit, &#8220;Timber&#8221; featuring Kesha as an example.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Om50QKvTfqU\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.vladtv.com -Rapper R.A.
