Benny’s Perspective on Artistry and Hip-Hop
In a candid interview with Complex last year, Benny The Butcher offered his insights into the current state of hip-hop and the perception of artistry within the genre. He expressed a sentiment that many creators share: a concern that the thankfulness for genuine artistry might be waning.
“I don’t think so [people care enough about the artistry],” Benny explained. “I don’t think so as people see-I’ve been talking lately about the critiquing of hip-hop, right? so the people whose critiquing and really level of respect went down for the outer street is the people who want to be artists.”
He elaborated on this point,highlighting a perceived disconnect between critics and creators: “So they don’t got respect for the guys they’re critiquing. They feel they can do it better. So know what I mean? It’s no respect for the art. Everybody wants to do it, and they not in a position to do it.” This perspective underscores Benny’s commitment to his craft and his belief in the importance of respecting the artistic process, even in a landscape often dominated by fleeting trends.
