If you ever come across somebody unwilling to recognize that -N-Harmony are among the most influential hip-hop groups all time, don’t be mad at them — it is your responsibility to enlighten, not to judge. It goes without saying that the Cleveland based collective has earned their place in the pantheon greats, and all but invented some today’s most ubiquitous melodic flows.

When asked about the game’s most “overrated” rapper the moment, Krayzie wasted little time in naming the Rainbow Wonder. “I never really had nothing against him, but I really didn’t get it,” explains Krayzie. “There are a lot artists out there like him that I really don’t get. What’s the purpose? For one, there’s a lot artists that come out today, I have no idea who they are, where they came from. I’m in the music business, I listen to everything. I even listen to the younger generation that’s coming up. But some dudes they throw at us, we never seen this dude in our life and they talking about — what do you feel about such and such getting arrested– and I’m like who the hell are these people?”
“There’s a lot that in hip-hop going on,” he continues. “That’s how they introducing these cats to people. Such and such was arrested. Look in the comments when they post this stuff. Look in the comments, everyone else be saying who?! But I guess that’s how they breaking artists these days. By telling you, oh this dude got arrested. He’s got a felony charge. It’s crazy.” When asked whether 6ix9ine’s release will help him blow out, Krayzie appears relatively cynical. “Man, these days you can do anything in the media besides have a ***ual assault case, and blow up. No lie.”
