When asked if he agrees with Jamar’s statements, K.R.I.T. spoke on being more concerned with his own music rather than judging others based on what they choose to paint on their musical canvas.
“I mean everybody’s entitled to their own opinion,” said K.R.I.T. “For me, man, I just make music based off how I feel and what I do. I don’t really judge people based off what they wanna paint on they canvas cause Hip Hop is an art form. And we dealing with art, I can’t say what’s dope, what’s not. Because I’m just more focused on what I paint on a canvas.”
It was just last month when Jamar made his comments about white rappers during an interview with Vlad TV. The topic of race and Hip Hop’s acceptance of the gay community was brought about as the rapper was questioned about Seattle emcee Macklemore and his equal rights anthem, “Same Love.” Jamar went on to express his belief that Macklemore has no right to push an agenda in a genre he feels the rapper is not a part of.
