Rapper, Reminisce has revealed the secret to success in the music industry.
He believes that “pure skill” is the key to thriving in the hip-hop industry, not wealth or streaming numbers.
Amid the ongoing debate between Nigerian rappers Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez, Reminisce emphasized that hip-hop is a genre that respects skill above all else.
He cited the example of Kendrick Lamar’s widely acclaimed victory over Drake in their rap battle, attributing it to Lamar’s superior skills despite Drake’s commercial success.
According to Reminisce, earning respect in hip-hop requires genuine talent and skill, which cannot be bought or measured by streaming numbers or wealth.
He said, “Hip-hop is the only genre that doesn’t respect numbers or money. No matter how much money you make as a rapper, you can’t buy it [the respect of the Hip-hop world]. That’s one thing I love about Hip-hop. You have to earn it. People have to say, ‘Vector is a good rapper, he’s a legend.’
“If you like see 5 trillion streams, if you like name your album the greatest. Nobody cares. Rap respects pure skills. That’s why Kendrick Lamar is widely adjudged the winner of his hip-hop battle with Canadian superstar Drake. If you look at the margin between Drake and Lamar in terms of commercial, it’s very wide. But because it’s about skill set, which is the primary thing in hip-hop, Lamar won.”
